"...updating my bike, like it was a Tamagochi..."
This was pretty funny, especially once I was reassured that it was indeed making fun of hipsters on bikes, and not celebrating them. posted by Flashman at 3:41 PM on November 16, 2009
Is the sucking of balls one of those things to do in Denver when one is dead? posted by smrtsch at 3:58 PM on November 16, 2009 [1 favorite]
On a related note, there is a 1:1 correlation between using the word "hater" in everyday speech and being a giant douchebag. posted by Inspector.Gadget at 4:04 PM on November 16, 2009 [7 favorites]

Luckily, I have a Denver teenage daughter to explain all the details of fixed-gear hipster culture for me. posted by kozad at 4:22 PM on November 16, 2009
That depends if you've dipped them in a nice BBQ sauce after deep frying... oh, I thought this was an ad for Rocky Mountain Oysters.
I think I somehow missed the hipster culture meme. posted by BrotherCaine at 4:32 PM on November 16, 2009
Weird. I'm pretty sure I know the white guy biking behind him in a lot of the shots. It was filmed in Denver? posted by mannequito at 4:47 PM on November 16, 2009

This would've been relevant maybe 6 months ago, now it's just annoying. Couldn't make it past 30 seconds. posted by thylacine at 4:54 PM on November 16, 2009

I waited too. But Murder She Wrote is on at 3:00. And it's two-for-one buffet dinner time down at the Royal Fork at 4:00. And I have to take my pills at 5:30. posted by tkchrist at 5:03 PM on November 16, 2009 [3 favorites]

That really depends on whether you're doing sucking, or getting them sucked. posted by PeterMcDermott at 5:16 PM on November 16, 2009
The part where he says "She's dressed just like me" and it pans up from the butt to reveal it's him, that's genius. posted by noway at 5:20 PM on November 16, 2009 [2 favorites]
Is there any way I could hate that but not suck his balls? posted by Horace Rumpole at 5:47 PM on November 16, 2009 [1 favorite]
Okay, here's the thing about "satirical" music: it has to be good. Even if what you're mocking, or part of what you're mocking, is the music. Because every kind of music, every song, has some redeeming value. There's a reason somebody likes it. Your job is to figure out what it is, acknowledge it, amplify it. Like a caricature with jug ears or a glacier for a schnoz.
This is just garbage. I'm actually not sure if that means that I should, or should not, suck his balls, though. posted by uncleozzy at 6:09 PM on November 16, 2009 [1 favorite]

I hereby propose that this video be set up on an infinite loop in direct opposition to Performance, the name of the game... also on an infinite loop and let them just rap pathetically at each other, infinitely.
Then, everyone else who can just ride their damn bike without having a goddamn identity crises can proceed at whatever pace of their choosing, at whichever gear ratio they're comfortable with and talk like civilized people. posted by Cold Lurkey at 8:46 PM on November 16, 2009
holy fuck i know some of these people! (um, should I admit that out loud here?)... yea so okay prolly not the best FPP material ever. But I can say that since I've seen these guys getting drunk at local alleycat races.
The Cheeseman Park and Larimer Lounge shots are spot-on, I must say. Pretty much all the useless fixie dorks hang out around there. Ask me how I know this.
sigh. at any rate it's fun to see the ol' stompin' grounds featured in a MeFi post, anyhows. posted by lonefrontranger at 8:54 PM on November 16, 2009
