Love the concept but the execution wasn't as amusing as I had hoped.

They do get better as they go along msalt, with a bit more production value. Try some of the ones in the more link.

I kind of thought they got progressively worse .. but the first couple were quite good - personally I thnk it would benefit from just being Joe and Bill.

Is it me or did Bill quit cussing when Ann came along?

This just seems like exploitation. What's the dealy? I can laugh at the guy saying, "This is why Pitchfork sucks," but basically I don't get it.

I was hoping for crotchety insight, like when my dad told my punk rock sister "That singer just sounds like my army drill sergeant."

I think Joe tries his best. He has some pretty astute observations at times, though I must admit that I had only heard about 1/3 of those bands. Some were just awful.

It's cute how old people are bigots!

Well, whatever happens, I want to eat there.

I'm not too sure about this woodshop films. Some of these videos are really dark. Don't they know it's always sunny in Philadelphia?

Although I must say I like parts of this a lot -- scroll to 1:30 for octopus bike.

birdie birdington: It's cute how old people are bigots!

I didn't see any bigotry. The only bit that was edgy was the bit where the guy gave a rap album more than a zero "so I don't look like a racist." But that's not really racism, I don't think - more just the awkward sensitivity to racism that older people sometimes have.

I liked this not because it was hilarious or because I think old people are silly, but because they actually had a few very good points. I could understand where they were coming from, and it was an interesting perspective.
