Things like this have always interested me. We feel a lot like we know what past civilizations were like from their artifacts, and we feel we know a lot about the history of biology from fossils and carbon copies. But what if that stuff is all the weird, esoteric downright laughable stuff from that day? What if T-Rex was the slow, stupid kid everyone picked on at school, and not a giant running shark with jaws that could tear through a firetruck that we esteem him to be?

What I’m saying is that it would be the pinnacle of irony if it’s things like this that are what people remember about our society a millenia from now. They might think that we truly valued these sorts of things–terrible looking wax statues of cultural icons. And somehow, I’m sure that is how they will see us.

All told this video really just isn’t that good.

You will all be proud to know I did not contribute in the least, giving the success to my fellow monsters.

You forgot to add “MLIA” or possibly, “MLIVG”.

Time to fess up, monsters. How many of you watched the Grammy’s soley to mock it on videogum the next day?

No matter how much money I make, I will never be rich? Does this mean no free things at next year’s Sundance?

Free things that cost regular people money? Rich people are different.

Gabe, this is most definitely not the 90′s. I mean, come on, Spider-Man 3 comes out next week, and Topher is sure to make it big! That movie will be so great.

There’s only one thing more terrible than terrible 90′s rap: (This spot is reserved for when I think of something, I’m drawing a blank right now).

I was thinking about posting some stupid comment about how the guy on the left is all annoying and makes me want to throw up all over myself (etc etc.) but I decided not to and just tell you guys about it instead. You can all thank me now.

When I clicked on this I thought it was Morgan Spurlock we were talking about. I’m not sure which would be worse. Can we please see Freeman with the Spurlock stache?

Alternate spellings include:

I think we have all missed out on the spirit of Mariah Carey. When teenage boys listen to her, they don’t think “hey, this woman is drunk and she still sounds about as coherent as she normally does”. Or at least, they don’t think it until after thoroughly examining the size of the object that could be wedged in her cleavage (in my amateur opinion, I would give this one a “toothbrush”). THAT is what the spirit of Mariah Carey is about! Nick Cannon bless us, every one!

Pretty sure that’s a melodica. We now know he is not a run-of-the-mill street performer, but an obscure indie hipster run-of-the-mill street performer.

Since when has “Awesome” been so tubular and radical it has to be put in “air quotes” for old men watching this on TV whilst enjoying their new snuggies?

I like that the kid has the same emotional depth in his performance as the actual song.

I love it when I just happen to meet all my girlfriends at the shooting range. It seems to be happening more frequently ever since they started offering day-care there.
