The beastie boys actually hated that song and were trying to parody party songs

[–]JoshuaQuail 66 points67 points ago

and REM's 'shiny happy people' was inspired by totalitarian propaganda. it's still a fun fucking song.

[–]Monster7000 60 points61 points ago

The Space Jam Theme was a song inspired by that movie Space Jam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9FImc2LOr8

[–]Fatumsch 29 points30 points ago

I was inspired by space jam.

[–]Belaires 6 points7 points ago

Space Jam inspired Jordan's ability to run the Bobcats

[–]WhyUSoMadFor 6 points7 points ago

He should hire the toons to play for the fucking bobcats

[–]Vassosman 0 points1 point ago

Shouldn't that mean they should be winning as underdogs?

[–]rchase 0 points1 point ago

J.M. Stipe's lyrics are always ambiguously back-handed. So many people think "The One I Love" is an epic love song, when he called it "the cruelest song I ever wrote."

[–]Mikulak25 14 points15 points ago

Kinda skating on the edge of parody and legitimate song if you need to point it out like a trivia fact then, I'd say.

[–]wanbo37 13 points14 points ago

I never knew this and was always reticent to denounce this song as being rubbish as people love it. Phew, I can freely denigrate it with this knowledge to back me up, 'look out soapbox, here I come!'

[–]BlackZeppelin 3 points4 points ago

Sort of like lesser known Black Flag's Tv Party and Six Pack.

[–]needmorepillows 14 points15 points ago

You know, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen him smile.

[–]inbatteryacid 45 points46 points ago

Who, Mitch? Allow me.

[–]needmorepillows 14 points15 points ago

How long have you been waiting to show someone that gif?

Regardless, horrifying

[–]Errday_Im_Hylian 36 points37 points ago

[–]Samberto 18 points19 points ago

I am hopelessly in love with David Mitchell. This just helped me fall a little more!

[–]humankirk 5 points6 points ago

I adore David Mitchell!

[–]larostos 0 points1 point ago

Holy. Fucking. Shit. I need that clip, could you please give me a link?

[–]boombassaboom 3 points4 points ago

video god i love this laugh thanks for the gif version

[–]Pip_Syrah 45 points46 points ago

Peep Show!

[–]SpawnQuixote 24 points25 points ago

I love his deadpan delivery. It's so self-deprecating and sensitive. So very British.

[–]MagikalGiant 7 points8 points ago

Did you get the turkey?

[–]othersomethings 7 points8 points ago

Cauliflower is NOT traditional!!!

[–]Thor_Odin_Son 4 points5 points ago

what is that guy from? i saw him yesterday with the "hitler promised to not invade Czechoslovakia" bit

[–]drunk_otter 10 points11 points ago

David Mitchell, half of Mitchell & Webb, who do the show Peep Show.

[–]douko 8 points9 points ago

His name is David Mitchell. He stars in "Peep Show" (available entirely on Hulu, IIRC) and has made numerous hysterical appearance on panel quiz shows such as "Qi".

[–]nuisible 4 points5 points ago

He's also team captain on Would I Lie to You(series 1,2,3,4,5,6)

[–]ww42 2 points3 points ago

Also available entirely on Netflix along with That Mitchell and Webb Look

[–]Flat_corp 1 point2 points ago

Also in "That Mitchel and Webb Look", another fantastic show.

[–]RyderBS 1 point2 points ago

And the host of the BBC 4 Radio show "The Unbelievable Truth"

[–]Splitforthecity 17 points18 points ago

Ferris Bueller got fat.

[–]Daniel022 11 points12 points ago

That's not Matt Broderick.

[–]EdMcMuffin 17 points18 points ago

Welcome to the Internet.

[–]Daniel022 16 points17 points ago

Oh thanks! Everyone has just been so nice.

[–]drunk_otter 1 point2 points ago

Would you like to play a game?

[–]Daniel022 8 points9 points ago

No

[–]barnesandnobles 5 points6 points ago

Wise choice my friend, wise choice

[–]stemurph88 0 points1 point ago

Shall we

[–]imsopov 2 points3 points ago

No problem... Check out /r/spacedicks

[–]Daniel022 3 points4 points ago

Oooooh good one

[–]wesman212 1 point2 points ago

Here is your cat. You're going to need it. Follow us.

[–]TheJoel2012 12 points13 points ago

RIP Adam Yauch aka MCA.

[–]drunk_otter 14 points15 points ago

[–]ChagSC 17 points18 points ago

That is terrible.

[–]drunk_otter 4 points5 points ago

Yes. Yes, it is.

[–]briantehpirate 3 points4 points ago

Wow he was frail near the end.

[–]EdMcMuffin 2 points3 points ago

I don't like it, but I'd be a hypocrite if I down voted it because I upvote when it's some celeb I don't like or care about.

[–]no_more_jokes 4 points5 points ago

What is this show? I've seen screenshots of it multiple times but never learned its name

[–]oriz0r 17 points18 points ago

Peep Show.

[–]noreallyimgoodthanks 17 points18 points ago

It is awesome, especially if you like references to Stalingrad.

[–]Griffy_Laser_Beam 15 points16 points ago

Get your tanks off my lawn, Jeremy

[–]noreallyimgoodthanks 11 points12 points ago

I'm the tank commander now, Barry.

[–]TheAvocadoBaron 12 points13 points ago

"No no, we can't go back, we've got to push on, push on to Moscow."

[–]noreallyimgoodthanks 10 points11 points ago

"Those kids have no idea of what went on at Stalingrad. Although I can't compare my reading of the book with the struggle of the Red Army - it has been a very big read."

[–]buttking 0 points1 point ago

And a few good star wars ones, as well.

[–]noreallyimgoodthanks 6 points7 points ago

Also, on a complete side note - after I exhausted every episode of Peep Show, I started watching Red Dwarf, another British comedy. Only it takes place in space. Yes, space. Awesome.

[–]KPexEA 2 points3 points ago

Have you watched That Mitchell & Webb Look?

[–]noreallyimgoodthanks 4 points5 points ago

Oh, yes. The snooker announcer sketches are literally some of the funniest shit I have ever seen.

[–]lightninghand 7 points8 points ago

"Oh, and that's a bad miss!"

[–]barnesandnobles 4 points5 points ago

I'm in the market for more British comedy shows. I've already seen (and loved) That Mitchell & Webb Look, The Mitchell & Webb Situation, Would I Lie to You?, The IT Crowd, and probably a few others. Would you have any other suggestions?

[–]KPexEA 2 points3 points ago

I'm in Canada and recently got hooked on British Comedy too.

I've got all the ones you listed as well. My favorite is Father Ted. I also really enjoyed The Vicar of Dibney, Black Books, Little Britian, The Mighty Boosh, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Too many to list really.

[–]RyderBS 1 point2 points ago

I can strongly recommend Green Wing and Friday Night Dinner, not sure if you'd be able to find them but it's worth a try! Both have Tamsin Greig in (Fran from Black Books)

[–]ElbowConnors 0 points1 point ago

Get watching green wing!

[–]noreallyimgoodthanks 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if you saw my other comment but Red Dwarf is awesome.

[–]Aldaris456 1 point2 points ago

That's Numberwang!

[–]holyguack 1 point2 points ago

Well at least it's not cancer.

[–]itrippledmyself 1 point2 points ago

Wild mushroom sex party all over your flat while you're chomping a bratwurst and dancing to the oompah band like a dick.

[–]SterlingCruncher 5 points6 points ago

Relevant to what?

[–]TheJoel2012 26 points27 points ago

Adam Yauch died of cancer recently.

[–]Pheeshy 12 points13 points ago

Yea, thanks for stirring those emotions up, SterlingCruncher.

[–]SterlingCruncher 1 point2 points ago

I did not know that. Thank you for the information and have an upvote.

[–]TheJoel2012 0 points1 point ago

Don't thank me, just pay it forward.

[–]gimpyrzbk 1 point2 points ago

I think she might be the one.

[–]zShwagg 0 points1 point ago

Too soon dude, too soon...

[–]astro_ZOMBIE138 0 points1 point ago

Fans of this show are 3x more likely to watch...

[–]science_experiment 0 points1 point ago

A massive Yauch.

[–]lamaface21 0 points1 point ago

LOVE this show =)

[–]elchupacabra206 0 points1 point ago

great show. currently on season 5 on netflix

[–]SaggyBallsHD 0 points1 point ago

I stared far too long at this picture waiting for something to happen. Stupid misleading fucking ellipses.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

You should of posted this with a, "too soon?" lol

[–]drunk_otter 3 points4 points ago

This has actually been a post in /r/toosoon for the last 2 days. 48 hours ago, yeah it was too soon. Not as much now.

Here's something if you're after MCA toosoon: False, MCA.

[–]ratsta 1 point2 points ago

snicker

[–]iGotChubs4You 0 points1 point ago

God, Mike D looks like his skin is leather.

[–]Lepitwar 0 points1 point ago

What show is this from? EDIT: From the comments it seems to be peepshow, is this correct?

[–]XCrunner321 -3 points-2 points ago

So... what? I'm lost.

[–]JayEff123 -1 points0 points ago

What webb and mitchell skit is this??

[–]segFault11235 4 points5 points ago

It's from Peep Show actually. Watch it.

/End of Broadcast.

[–]Tentacolt 2 points3 points ago

Peep show.

[–]CoyoteStark -1 points0 points ago

I've been seeing this guy around a lot. Who is he and where is he from?

[–]Fatumsch -1 points0 points ago

I think Kerry King also fought for our right, dosn't he knock out a gorilla?

[–]SuperPowers97 -2 points-1 points ago

I don't think it's right to make fun of Adam Yauch's death. He died of cancer, not something funny like a cocaine overdose.

[–]FlippyWippy -2 points-1 points ago

OP:

HEY GUYS LOOK AT ME I WATCH BRITISH TV, HEY GUYS LOOK AT ME I WATCH BRITISH TV, ARENT I SO COOL?! AHAHAHAH MAN I LOVE PEEP SHOW HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME

[–]pata_rajada -3 points-2 points ago

God, he got fat
