As I’ve said before, one of the easiest ways to know someone is a retard is if they like Boondock Saints. The movie is fucking terrible, so the only people who like it are impotent losers who got picked on in high school and have power-trip fantasies about exacting revenge on their tormenters. It should go without saying that this describes 90% of the moshcore scene, which explains that movie’s popularity among B9 types.
At first I thought the new KING video was a tongue-in-cheek parody of kids who are way too into that movie, but having watched it a few more times I’m having second thoughts. Not really sure if this is about ‘taking back the streets by killing the criminal scum,’ ‘stop snitching’ or just ‘painting a picture of the grim reality of urban lyfe’. Check it out and tell me what you think:
My notes:
- As Adam Carolla says, “I’m fascinated by the creative process of people who do really shitty work”
- Song is pretty sweet, although it’s at least twice as long as it needs to be
- Who is the old guy at the beginning? Kingbro: “Hey dad, before you go to work we need you to be in our video. Hand me this bag of money, OK?” Dad: “Fine, but only if you’ll take that GED test after you’re done making your faggoty little movie.”
- Facepalm @ the guy putting lipstick on the bullets at 1:00.
- The whispered part at 3:05 “everything that I touch dies”… hiding under my bed because I don’t want to face a world where someone thought this sounded cool.
- LOL @ people who alternate between complaining and bragging about how crime-ridden their city is ala the line at 3:30 “this is place is eating me alive!!!” Am I supposed to be impressed that you live in a shithole? And if it sucks so bad, why don’t you move, dummy???
- Love how they include a couple random black guys standing around, presumably because black people = authentic and gritty. The lingering shot at 3:10 is the best, where the guy is like “Uh… how long are you going to film me just standing here? This is getting a little weird.”
The highest rated comments on this video……… oof.
If this a joke, or just really dumb? Why are whites so proud of living in a dangerous city/neighborhood??? Is there any segment of humanity more embarrassing than Boondocks Saints fans????
did he use an environmentally friendly reusable shopping bag for the money? i don’t know why, but that part cracks me up most of all.
First thought was these dudes listen to way too much Slipknot. Lol’d hard when I saw your Slipknot tag.
“have a GED” – ambitious slipknot listener
If I was the guy at 1:59 I’d wear a t-shirt to the beach, much less take my shirt off for a video
It’s just a huge mound of blubber holding a gun
Jabba the hut
jabba the gut
1) this song sounds like it could easily fit in on Slipknot’s self-titled, if only it sounded a little more pissed off and crazy. The whole, “crazy, half-manically-laughing” singing parts are cool, but seem kinda forced to me.
2) LOL at the guy dumping the body over the bridge into that shallow creek. Seriously, the water was like an inch high. Couldn’t they have waited for a rainstorm or something to fill it up a little bit?
3)Why do all the characters keep holding up signs that transition in like half a second so you can’t even read them? Am I supposed to look at a frame with some redneck mongoloid with a sign about it being ruff in the hood and be inspired or something?
LOL @ Lux Aeterna in the intro. Innovative use.
Hated it because it sucked and was stupid, loved it because the shotgun referenced Monster Magnet.
Sad really, such an epic piece of music but ruined by things like this.
Lol at how it doesn’t even fit too, just randomly cuts off and goes into the song.
“losers who got picked on in high school and have power-trip fantasies about exacting revenge on their tormenters”
That pretty much described my impression of this video. But these guys decided that they can pretend that they are tough guys now that they’re not getting shoved into trash cans in high school now. In my experience, people who play up the grittiness and violence of where they live are usually the softest ones when some actual shit goes down.
But while we’re on the subject of lame white dudes in moshcore bands playing with guns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBkHoQrOQg
how the FUCK have I not seen this before? i spat my beer all over my fucking monitor.
When shit goes down, I usually yell “oh shit” or “oh fuck” then get to business. I get made fun of a lot for having the tendency to throw up after the fact. I swear I was sick the one time it happened, but I will never live it down.
Thank you very much, that video is EXACTLY the sort of thing I come to this site for
I knew what video that would be before i clicked haha. Ive never posted it because its a (unfunny) joke
nah bro, crimescene was DEFINITELY serious about that video. they’re from atlanta and were pretty notorious for being a general NUISANCE at shows and making up reasons to fight out of thin air.
they also claimed to have “beef” with the transplants (yes, the garnier fructis band) because one of the members apparently tried to start shit with them during their show.
nice dudes though, overall.
“nice dudes though, overall” lol’d, must be a big “overall” if they are the massive douches you imply
Oh dear. Thank you for this. I saw this four years ago and have been searching for it ever since and couldn’t remember the name of it. You just made my day.
what’s a b9?
Bridge 9 is a record label and a popular forum.
Well well well it only took 2 minutes to get a Chubby Fresh update.
Bragging about being from Flint is sort of like bragging about having herpes sores on your ween. Except for the fact that to have herpes on your dick, you have to have fucked something, whereas being from Flint just involves falling out of a vagina somewhere really unfortunate.
they would look harder in this video if they posed with all the bears and other wild animals that have been moving into all the abandoned houses around there.
I was gonna make a Michael Moore is from Flint and he’s a bear joke, but I couldn’t think of anything clever.
The record will reflect this, no worries
LOL@ the ‘Godfather holding court’ section at the beginning, best/worst bit.
I think commenters raise a good point here about it sounding like slipknot, since they’ve been popular 10+ years now has it become cool for hardcore kids to copy them?
I’d totally be killing people if marlboros cost over $6 where i lived at…that being said, fantastic video documenting urban life…from the prospective of wanna be gangstas. LOL @ the shots of the weed plants & the dudes trying to look oh so tough with their guns.
Over $11 a pack now in NY. Good thing I quit.
Why in the fack would you put lipstick on bullets? I grew up in upper middle class suburbia so I never learned this in boy scouts, someone please enlighten me.!?
“I grew up in upper middle class suburbia”
So did they, they just won’t admit it :D
As for the lipstick, they probably misinterpreted the expression “kiss of death” they might have overheard somewhere…
blue velvet reference i’m guessing. “i’m gonna send you a love letter.”
this is not helping my hangover… are they really proud of being gun totting whitetrash fucqups? or is it a parody so subtle it didn’t trigger my wiseassery alarm?
mind=assraped
yay boondocks saints
Love that movie. No care even.
Then again, I also don’t give a shit about exacting revenge on anybody or living in a shitty neighborhood or whatever (especially because I’m both smart and a rich fuck); I just like the movie.
you hit on so many things in your bullet points, i was nodding and smiling like a libtard watching Jon Stewart.
Clean vocals sound like Frankie Palmeri from Emmure.
that’s what I thought
who? Oh, you mean THANOS REIGNZ!
I think this is the band the guutarist from chiodos is in. I sure hipe im right about that because it will def make this funnier
Could be wrong but i dont think hes in the band anymore
does anyone else think he kinda sounds like ma boi THANOS REIGNZ?
Kind of, but he isn’t a lyrical genius like Thanos
This band is a goldmine of lulzy/stupid videos. Here’s another one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lybTv5uTpk&feature=related
actually enjoying the music, just ripped it from ytube, gonna listen to it on the bus as i stare at old people
I’ve always thought Boondock Saints is an action comedy. You mean there are people who think it’s a revenge movie?
^
which one of those dudes is in chiodos?
I liked the music okay, the vocals not so much.
I like Boondock Saints for what it is, a shoot-em-up with one-liners and incredibly offensive stereotypes
Anyone who thinks it’s any sort of art is an idiot though
Man, what’s with that fat, shirtless guy at 1:58? He looks really unhealthy and I feel bad for him.
This is just hilariously bad. The ending shot is the best part, but the entire thing just has that high school charm. I love how the director and producer are credited at the beginning. I’d want to be known only as Adam Smithee if I made something that bad.
Weird, everyone in the band is named alan smithee too!
pill did it better….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HUht3ubZ5o
errr actually this one where he raps in an unseen shirt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-nX_j4pjUo
they are hardcore dudes? because the guy with deradlocks makes me think like they are nu-metal or something
I don’t wanna be “that guy,” but here it goes….
I’ve played shows with this band and seen them live, and honestly, they just as hard as they try to look. I’ve seen the vocalist kick the shit out of tons of people, and their bass player is black, so they didn’t have to hire some nogs to look authentic. Legitimately some nasty, ghetto ass dudes playing nasty hardcore. Also, their first full length that Equal Vision dropped is amazing. The opening to Libertine = I’m fucking moshing.
Also, Jason Hale quit King because Kings live shows were so violent it was affecting Chiodos reputation as well.
i have many friends in hardcore bands who have shot, stabbed and killed people too (srs), but they at least had the good judgement not to make this video
Backed. This video is fucking terrible.
I’VE BEEN UNDER THE KNIFE
BEEN IN FRONT OF THE GUN
I HAVE NO FEAR
cool story bro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKsOdhaG3YI
Srsly though you’re fucking moshing
LOL “Black bassist=true street cred”
Come on son….
I guess being from downstate Michigan having a black dude in your band isn’t that big of a deal, but up in Northern MI where I’m from, a black guy shows up and everyone’s like “OH SHIT DAT NIGGA FO REAL!”
lol, Juggalocore
Lol’d as soon as I heard the “Requiem For A Dream” theme in the intro.
