I see people doing this shit all the time.

Nothing is less funny than trying too hard.

What's the problem here? You can just imagine the guy trying so hard to make something that "doesn't make sense" so he picks a random activity and does the song in a British accent (the prefered accent for absurdism ever since Monty Python).

Then he has characters reacting with traditionally-illustrated cartoon facial expressions. That's mixing genres. And the expression isn't funny anyway. And it doesn't serve a purpose.

Then he babbles non-word lyrics, apparently the ultimate act of being nosensical. If you were trying really hard to be nonsensical.

Oh, and add a little blood in there. For whatever reason.

Videos like this give me douche chills.

"Douche chills?"

"DOUCHE CHILLS?!"

A concept I've never before heard put into words.
I think I just found my new catchphrase for 2009.

Best gift I received this holiday season.

Thanks, Flint!

It's amusing enough.

That's from the same guy that did "Badgers" & "Kenya" and all the "Weebl & Bob" toons. Much of the time he's pretty funny (and I think he IS English). I think he's allowed a few misses.

If I end up singing this all day it will be YOU I blame Flint, not him.
Ha - how's that then.

It's not by weebl, it's by someone else on weebl's site... a half-assed, idiotic imitation. I agree with flint, prettymuch.

I learned that from a SteveBsjb post on AudioGalaxy.
