This barbecue is going to be a nightmare!

Incidentally, I went back and watched the original Four Non Blondes music video and I never realized that that is where Mystery and the rest of the Pick-Up Artist crew got ALL THEIR IDEAS. (Via BuzzFeed.)

  1. Who knew Beast Man had a wandering eye?

  2. Maybe now my video of the Thundercats singing Zombie by the Cranberries will go viral

  3. funny, my boss also asked “hey, what’s going on” when she caught me watching this at work.

  4. If I could have chosen any moment to accidentally unplug my headphones in a hip coffee shop, I would have probably done it in the middle of “This American Life” or something, as opposed to just now.

  5. Aaaand we have a winner.

  6. Sort of off topic, but who do you think would win in a fight between the Sorceress and Ladyhawke?
    (other than me)

  7. I think this may just top the time I heard the Smurfs singing Black Hole Sun. Just maybe.

  8. Anyone notice that you can sync up 4 Non Blondes “Heyy whats going on” with Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy?” I’m not sure how high I was when I though of it initially, in fact, I probably wasn’t inebriated at all. And I don’t know if there is a site up where the two are currently mashed up, though I imagine the internets will abide shortly, but It always worked when you hum one and just segue right on into the other. Pretty Serendipitous stuff. I recommend it.

  9. Holy hell. Steve Winwood has discovered that he can reply to EVERY comment on a post.

    • Am I the only one still voting him toward zero on every post? It’s kind of fun.

      • “I know how to seize the day and live life to its fullest. Plus I’m incredibly cool.” – Superglue

        • You know, I’ve kept my mouth shut about you b/c, quite frankly, I don’t care about your trolling in the slightest, but this comment is literally the stupidest fucking thing you could post. Decrying a commenter as not having a life and/or being a loser when you’ve replied to every comment on this thread. Srsly, get a fucking life or a hobby or something.

        • It took me until now to respond to this because I was busy living life to the fullest and working at my job. This week, one of the things I’ve been doing to enjoy myself has been voting you towards zero, because irrelevancy is the only way you’ll either a) shut up, or b) get over yourself and start contributing something constructive to the conversation.

          Also, I am incredibly cool. Thanks for noticing. I consider that your first real insightful and positive addition to this community.

      • Stevewinwoodcommentscoreequilibrium FTW.

    • I downvote every comment ever since the time I tried to be nice to him and he PSYCHED me. Psych me once, shame on me. Pysch me twice… I WONT GET PSYCHED AGAIN.

  10. The Four Non Blondes had to learn the art of pickup. If they were honest about being in the Four Non Blondes, they would never get any ass.

  11. I’m not proud of the story I’m about to tell…

    For Christmas, my sister gave me a copy of The Game: A Guide to Being the Worst because we always talked about it and how terrible it is but I’d never read it and she’s like haha funny ironic Christmas gift.

    Now, I’m okay at meeting women. I have a nice-guy awkward charm kinda thing. Also I have a beard and wear shirts with puppies on them. But my flirting style is much different than what they tell you to do in that garbage pile of a book. Mainly because I’m not a garbage pile of a person.

    Anyway, a few weeks ago I was at a bar and flirting with this girl and she was really bizarre so I decided to try a few techniques the book recommends and, ugh, it totally worked.

    Ugh.

    • here is a fun trick i learned. first, make friends with someone who is awkward shy and fun. then go away for the summer while they read the bible of awfulness (the game). then come back and watch what they do for a couple years. it is like watching a puppy grow up to be adolf hitler while simultaneously watching all of your lady friends become gross parodies of what a lady is expected to be.

      *tl;dr* the game makes me sad face.

  12. Steve! Say something nasty about me in reply to my comment!

  13. Stop it. That is not your meme, friend. Your meme is being a kid trying to insert television remote into his rectum through his Joe Boxer brand underwear because he can no longer stand the torment of the lame blog comments on this internet site.

  14. And the 13th summer jam of 2010 will be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fvTxv46ano

    Because retro? Srsly Gabester, this one’s been around. But who cares, yay Friday!

  15. “Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in.”

  16. I prefer the version that includes the intro. The first (sung) line is the best part, methinks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy6faAgrLg4

  17. No slight to Gabe, but I wish I knew that Gabe didn’t know this existed before today. My friends and I have been laughing at this for 3 (or 4) years.

  18. Is this Antony and the Johnsons ?

  19. I liked this.
