Questionable Entries

This blog documents the trend of “Garbage Day!” remakes; but today we’re including some other videos that give a shout-out to “Garbage Day!”

First up is a questionable clip that comes all the way from the U.K. Have the British ever heard of “Silent Night, Deadly Night 2”? Or do they think that’s just a regular trash day in America?

I don’t know. Decide for yourself with this 4-second video.

Next up, there’s this low low-budget movie trailer that has a “Garbage Day” moment at the 23-second mark. (I’ve included the time because the video is a lengthy 3:16)

“CONNOR, THIRD TEASER TRAILER” is good-natured, sloppy pastiche of film and TV references (including from “Kill Bill” to “Dirty Harry” and “The Office”. I know this because their YouTube description includes links to each of the scenes they’re alluding to. I kind of like that. It’s specific to this medium. God knows I wasn’t able to provide an index of references I included in my 7th grade movies.)




“Connor” appears to be one of those videos two dudes made to show to their friends. And again, thanks to the new media landscape, they probably have hundreds of MySpace and Facebook friends who can chuckle at their video exploits.

Finally, there’s this minute-long live musical performance by a band called “BUT CAKE”.




The song is “Garbage Day” and it may or may not be a pointed reference. I tried to decipher the song’s lyrics to find additional clues (i.e. lines about blue sweaters, handguns or “What? No!”) -- alas, I was shit out of luck because I couldn’t understand the singer. Man I feel old. But at the same time, these videos totally take me back to my adolescence where the days were used to make dopey videos and the nights were spent watching basement rock concerts.

Whoa - careful not to romanticize those teenage years!

There you have it, three more “Garbage Day!” videos.
