Did they do the theme for The Oblongs? Or am I confusing my weirdo early 2000’s theme songs?


eMmDeeKay_Says

Google says yes, and they also did Malcolm in the Middle.


jennafreemon

Also the daily show


Muzzledpet

Holy shit, that show had vaporized from my memory banks


RaeLynn13

Not mine! There’s only one season and I think all the episodes are on YouTube for free! Same with Mission Hill!


ReturnOfSeq

Whaaaaaa? I have the oblongs dvd but haven’t seen Mission Hill in a long time! Think that’s where I started loving Cake https://i.redd.it/y1ktl5wfhm6d1.gif


RaeLynn13

Yes! Even two animatics for unreleased episodes also. And there’s some interviews with the creators of Mission Hill! It’s not a big community of fans, but it’s great

What the fuck is this post? What the fuck are these comments? What are any of you people talking about???


CleverName9999999999

The “Malcom in the Middle theme song” is your clue. It’s by a band called “They Might Be Giants.” Most of the comments are lyrics from their songs.


Asylumset

ty. god damn that was confusing.

Fox-Revolver

I feel like I’m having a stroke and no one cares enough to explain why 😭 I’m so confused


CleverName9999999999

That’s probably because the comments are mainly lyrics from They Might Be Giants a band with a taste for the odd, whimsical, and confusing. One of their songs is told from the point of view of a nightlight. Another (possibly) from Pavlov’s dogs.


Fox-Revolver

Oh my god thank you for explaining

Aw man. I was enjoying there being no clear explanation in the comments

Well, even Gloria had a bit of context to what she was listening to.

I'm feeling smug because I'm old and most or these threads make any sense to me. But this one I get. Don't feel bad, you're just not an old part.


possumarre

I think this might just be a bot farm post. They seem to be just referencing different pieces of media. At least that's what I gather from the Malcolm in the Middle theme song comments. This is some weird, creepy shit. I miss the old Internet.

you should look up the name of the band that made the malcolm in the middle theme song, and then read the OP again


MrNoSox

Just have a listen to “Turn Around” or even “Your Racist Friend” and you’ll be one of us.


p0k3t0

Racist friend is a song that has aged so well that it honestly deserves a re-release.

I'm fairly certain it's a bunch of bots either karma farming, or doing some language model bullshit. There is absolutely zero sense to either the post or any of the comments.


FondSteam39

> is absolutely zero sense That is how you can describe the band "They Might Be Giants". Their songs are beautiful, deep but ultimately completely nonsensical

“Well he had a point. Of course, he carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be...well...all the best minds used to think the world was flat. — But, what if it isn't? — It might be round — and bread mold might be medicine. If we never looked at things and thought of what they might be, why, we'd all still be out there in the tall grass with the apes.”

All I know is that someone who you thought would find you very amusing might actually have a paper-white mask of evil.

They Might be


0nina

It’s speculated, though not verified, that they possibly, if not plausibly, could in fact, theoretically, be giants. Though doubt is cast on the suspicion when we consider the too-tall girl. We may never know the true status of their stature… Let’s see what the daylight brings.
