A Couple of Po-Mos

If you had told me that someone was going to make another SNL/OC Garbage Day I wouldn’t believe it.

First I’d think “Ugh!”

But inside, “Are they seriously trying to be clever? Or are they being ironic? Possibly even POST-MODERN?”

How do we measure when enough time has passed for something to be appropriately retro/campy/kitschy.

...

The other night I was talking to my wife and I said (in a Dana Carvey- George Bush voice) “Nah Ganna Do It...”

I thought it was hilarious. (Of course)

But she said it wasn’t retro so much as pathetic.

I think it’s a raw nerve because we still have a Bush in the White House.

But honestly, can we expect well-deserved laughs when we say “No Problem!” in an ALF voice.

Or are we simply fooling ourselves when we try to ironically revive the phrase “Whoomp, there it is!”

I will leave it to the “zeitgeist” to decide. (Even though I’ve never fully understood the concept of the zeitgeist, but I posses the boldness of a college sophomore to use it anyway)

Here’s “Garbage Day” by marsvolta590.





Wow! What a couple a goofs.

I never thought I’d want to see ANOTHER “Mmm whatca say” but damnit those two knuckleheads won me over with their wreckless abandon and geeky charm.

And what was that in the gunshot wound?! Chicken skin? I don’t know, but I think the Nike shirt is ruined. And, by gum it was worth it!


As for all you fuddy-duddies who weren’t impressed, maybe you should see their SECOND Garbage Day movie, called “Garbage Day 2.”

As the saying goes, if you liked marsvolta590’s “Garbage Day”, you’ll love “Garbage Day 2”





I look forward to seeing more great videos from those loveable goofballs.
