Humor?

Guimo ayon kay ...

As a HUGE Beach Boys fan, I find this totally inane, ridiculous, and distasteful.

gerry ayon kay ...

Hey, they're making a joke out of marriage - why not the Beach Boys?

LordSomber ayon kay ...

The "shreds" guy was on Kimmel with Slash awhile back, but I don't think Slash really got the joke.

My favourite "shreds" video is the Clapton one.
It's funny, plus there's about 6,000 comments from indignant guitar nerds.

Nathan ayon kay ...

I was skeptical of the humor, myself. Eh, another shred video.

I lost it at the clapping.

10/10 would laugh again.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I love the Beach Boys, but find this hysterical. That's mean of me.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

We love The Beach Boys and we laughed and laughed.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Ann, did you notice the pants bulges too?

Ipso Fatso ayon kay ...

Inga, I must be a homo because I noticed the pants bulges too!!! I also found the video funny but it wore off after about 60 seconds.

Bob Ellison ayon kay ...

Wow. That is really funny. I think I'm going to have to watch it about fifty times.

Chuck ayon kay ...

Isn't humor supposed to be clever? To reveal some greater truth?

If there are more of these, I have to wonder how far this joke is supposed to go.

Oh well. First Amendment and all. The right to say anything, even if it is stupid.

In the words of rock god David St. Hubbins (a truly funny guy); "Such a fine line, between clever and stupid."

Now that Bad Lip Reading shit is hilarious, but this?

DADvocate ayon kay ...

What's this got to do with SSM?

sonicfrog ayon kay ...

I smiled. There has been better though. Still, it's much much funnier than the very lame Jim carry anti-gun offerings today.

Nomennovum ayon kay ...

That was the funniest video I seen in some time. Loved the clapping.

George M. Spencer ayon kay ...

Best Beach Boys Song...

Our Prayer.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

Funny but not for very long funny.

Bob_R ayon kay ...

Nowhere near as good as the worst episode of Bad Lip Reading.

Eric the Fruit Bat ayon kay ...

Watching that made me want to lock myself in my room and drop acid.

chickelit ayon kay ...

Chirbit says "That video sucked, Althouse."

KCFleming ayon kay ...

Quite funny.

Reminded me of the Shaggs, who did it better because they were dead serious.

My Pal Foot Foot - The Shaggs

chickelit ayon kay ...

@Pogo: J'adore les Shaggs!

KCFleming ayon kay ...

@chickelit

I got to see the off-Broadway musical The Shaggs: Philosophy Of The World, based on their story.

It was really quite good. I understand it is now being made into a movie.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

It is funny.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Hey Chickie, Ed made Carol Herman mad ?

chickelit ayon kay ...

Didn't she drive everyone mad?

sakredkow ayon kay ...

Huh?

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Chickie,
I wouldn't know, I wasnt regularily commenting here while she was.

Robert Cook ayon kay ...

"Isn't humor supposed to be clever? To reveal some greater truth?"

Sometimes a man slipping on a banana peel is just a man slipping on a banana peel.

And it's funny!

Ipso Fatso ayon kay ...

I miss Carol Herman and for that matter, Herman Carol.

It's a shame I never paid much attention to pants bulges when I was in high school. Those were great pants for it.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

Their movements are mimicking a lower form of animals... but I cant say which animals... for fear that my life would be over.

Mark O ayon kay ...

In those days, I saw the Beach Boys live many times. They could actually sing and play.

That said, I'm fascinated that someone of at least average intelligence would find this funny. And, it's not just that it takes all kinds; that kind might be dangerous.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

But then again it might be pareidolia — the perception of meaning in "a vague and random stimulus."

"Vague and random stimulus"... not to be confused with dancing.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

Those pants were tight.... reminded me of the Don Draper tread I cant find, where he was told to wear underwear because his junk was distracting the cast.

...and then there was this Gatsby sentence...

"It is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things upon which you have expended your own powers of adjustment."

Except in this case it was not sad... at least not for me.

"Ipso Fatso said...
II also found the video funny but it wore off after about 60 seconds."

To me it was funny because they sustained the joke for the whole song.

Paco Wové ayon kay ...

Pogo - the Walt Kelly references... the obscure music... the misanthropy... it's like you're my lost twin or something.

KCFleming ayon kay ...

Brother!!!

Steve Koch ayon kay ...

Funny but it gets old pretty quickly.

This particular video was always funny because Dennis Wilson (far left from viewer perspective) was way over enthusiastic in his clapping. At one point Mike Love looks at Dennis like he's crazy. I always figured Dennis was high on something during the filming of that particular video.

rcommal ayon kay ...

Contempt is a mighty perk.

jr565 ayon kay ...

It's pretty funny. Not the best of the shred videos, but pretty good. Yes the handclaps are what carries it over.
