Mark Mothersbaugh speaks on "Bob" and The Conspiracy.

[redmage87]

And now you know why the Rugrats called 'God' 'Bob'

[discolemonade66]

BOB. BOB. BOB. Just keep chanting his mighty name until you can remember your own. "Give me Slack or Give Me Death or Kill me!" -Bob

[chronicleone]

Arise! is an amazeing video, it will change your life.

[doowaynereide3]

Pass the salad dressing please.

[CthulhuForCocoaPuffs]

No offense to any Devo fans, but what did I just watch?

[rutherk1g]

Awesome. He said Krogers! Akron baby!

[missopan]

Its president who lookes like they dont have a reason to get an erection anymore, thats the conspiracy.. perhaps that's simply the reasons they managed to become presidents..

[missopan]

When you hear this, it makes you think - Why not Bob?..

[spudth]

I used to walk around college and see Bob Bob bob didn't realize until a few years ago how close I was to it. Cleveland Heights is where Bob is!!!! 1980's Bob posters were all over CWRU and coventry!!! Wow! I lived History!!

[KingCastFranconia]

@spudth I am from Cleveland Heights, we dressed up as DEVO at Hawken in 1981 Google "DEVO + KingCast"

LOL Peace.

PS: Rest in Peace Peter Schliewen... how he crashed that car on Shaker Blvd will remain a sad sad mystery.

[pjparkinson]

Turn off your TV, Tune out the Radio, Burn the Newspapers.

We created the electric environment and now it controls us. Power down, go to sleep!

[MongoTheLloyd]

It's the human condition. It's things falling apart. it's fat ladies in doubleknit jumpsuits beating their kids in Kroegers. It's 20th century traditions. It's the old traditions... it's all the things that got us where we are now. it's Christ without a penis.

[sydferret]

Bob spelled backwards is not Dog, it's Bob, so this is self-evident.

[Aepotheosis]

Preachitbrotherpreachit

[k77jones]

this guy is obviously suffering some sort of psychosis.

hopefully he has been confined, evaluated & medicated.

[haubai]

@routeguy you're the only freak around here you scumbag. Go jump off a bridge and do the rest of us and your family a favor.

[routeguy05]

@haubai wow.... thats deep... funny everyones so tuff on youtube.. join the other fag fans and come to my neck of the woods.. when im done with you ill find your mother and kill that cunt to.. unless shes already dead, i mean if i gave birth to fags like you people i would end up killing myself

[MongoTheLloyd]

@routeguy05 Sorry. Your neck of the woods has far too many from the, shall we say, same family STUMP. That's right... there aren't too many branches to speak of on the family trees in your neck of the woods. Just a few interrelated stumps. Figure it out while you contemplate how you will murder everyone's mothers. (roll eyes here). Violent + ignorant + likes children + inbred + threatens = must be a Xtian Republican.

Any bets?

[capricioussole]

no, its not 1 or 2, its " BOB"

[3kinjite]

Is he talking about Bob(1) or Bob(2)?

[MongoTheLloyd]

@3kinjite Bob J.R. Dobbs. Praise Bob.

[baz1019]

He also did the theme and background music for Rugrats on Nickelodeon.

[routeguy05]

this is the freak on yo gaba gaba... i knew there was something weird about him

[MongoTheLloyd]

@routeguy05 the "freak on Yo Gabba Gabba" (yes, tedious as it may be, I did correct the spelling for you)? The real question is... why is a 23 year old dude watching a children's show? Acting on one to entertain and educate children? That is a job and is understandable. A grown man (23 years old) watching it? That is creepy, in an inbred sort of way. Do you watch it to be educated, entertained, or both? Was Mark talking over your head? I'll ask him to talk down a bit to your level.

[routeguy05]

@MongoTheLloyd my son likes the show and cant help but notice a child rapist when i see one, but it seems we have some hardcore devo fans here... well good for you, stand up for what you beleive in and keep jerkin off in the bathroom of your moms house you fucking faggut fuck.. Id love to see you run your mouth without hiding behind your computer

[MongoTheLloyd]

@routeguy05 Yeah? I guess it takes a child rapist to know one... right routeguy05? So, how often DO you rape your boy? Daily? Weekly? I stopped jerking off when I grew up. You would know little of that. If you ARE breeding as you claim to be, do the world a big favor. Use a pair or garden shears to fix that problem. The world has enough of you in it. Please do... kill yourself, that is. Don't threaten it. Do it. The oxygen you suck is far too precious to be used to keep your carcass functioning.

[routeguy05]

@MongoTheLloyd btw thanks for spelling the cartoon right... you are clearly a winner... 

[MongoTheLloyd]

@routeguy05 I am a winner. Thanks for noticing. Thanks for noticing that I can spell 2-syllable words, and that you cannot. You didn't need to point that out. We could figure that out for ourselves... but it was kind of you to save us all the work at analyzing your capabilities, or lack thereof (and I do mean ANALyzing). Now... go back to fantasizing about your son. I won't judge. It speaks for itself and needs no characterization from me.

[showroommeryll]

one of my hero, with calimero and Nicolas Clément

[Padata3000]

this is part of a greater docuspiracy for the COTSG.... FTITCTAJ, GMSOKM, BOB

[Caligula138]

I have seen the gates of steel

[Neinteen91]

bob

[RedPortiaOne]

This young Mark would be gratified to know that in 2010 De evolution was in full force in insane corporate America

[revco68]

@RedPortiaOne No, Mark will never find his peace.

[Dover0486]

let s face it the real villains in this world all invoke the name of some god to justify whatever their glands desire at the time..

[Dover0486]

you take away the military industrial complex and all the products they buy and you take away homeland security and all the contractor economic activity it generates.. we have to ask ourselves where are we going to make it up.. and the short is answer is we cant... so what they do is once people dont need them they create strife and war and suck you back in..

[Dover0486]

you can not give anecdotal advice and logic for the real issues in this world... once someone actually starts bring up real issues...all they can do is pump you full of meds that make you not care..

[Dover0486]

looks like people in their comments here trying make it seem more controversial than it is .. such is life the more they can make you believe it is controversial they more they matter.. and they assume those words in that book a man guards year after year actually applies to them.. the electric age gave us the appearance of more access to the astral plane.. lol

[PhuckHue2]

great musician songwriter. he looks stoned in this interview. oh well, that was the 80's

[aupsychobilly]

...and that's what mental illness looks like...fucking brilliant...

[pessia61]

He's full of shit.

[funwithphobias]

@pessia61

yes

[templeofbone]

Christ without a penis?

[LowRagg]

@templeofbone good question..WTF????

[templeofbone]

@LowRagg I guess he's part of the conspiracy though. Love you Mark, but... um... WHAT?

[drsloan]

BOB, BOB, BOB!!!

[capnkraus]

this guy rocks

[faceyfaceface]

this video needs more comments.

[sendhimtodetroit]

Mark was selling Hawaiian Punch to those abused kids. Go put on your unfinished pyramid.

[Margatroid]

@sendhimtodetroit

"Sugar is bad for you."

[retroEddz]

they were right... ABOUT EVERYTHING!!1

[robbatkinson666]

Hey its the guy who did the music for RUG RATS!!!!!!!!!!

[chrichal23]

FUck off pink, what have you ever done!

Have you ever succinctly bamboozled popular culture with a fusion of deconstuctive neo-futurism in an age of severe intellectual and cultural decline?

Well, have you?

No, I didnt think so.

You are further proof of the nature of D-evolution.

Go mate with a lower class of animal and your offspring will teach you what they tried to warn you about.

[mtb416]

@chrichal23 I especially liked the infusion of our severe intellectual and cultural decline as a species in your tasteful bash. I'm glad to see you've noticed it. I feel like I am the only one sometimes.

Take it easy.

[mogadoremike]

yep!

[spetznacho]

i love devo do i need a reason why?

[ElectricPinkUnicorn]

I have a massive boner now.

[oiyabastard]

[Fleedom]

"Tera Delu," The Bob!

[fake2]

SLACK OFF!!!!!!!!

[typeanoise]

Fat ladies beating their kids in Krogers! (Grocery Store). FELLOW OHIO SPUD! WE'RE ALL DEVO!

[forming36]

If you are a DEVO fan check out the black and white movie "Island of lost souls" it cracked me up when I saw those creatures saying are we not men?

[tacomadc]

You think they were joking, but the world has gotten so much stupider in the last 25 years - exactly like they said!

They brought the message, we chose to ignore it.

[flicklefish]

Yeah.  This prophet certainly makes himself out as "A Guy To Be Listened To". lol

[brajtnerinjo]

Year?

[NJPJMommaDJ]

I'm new to Devo so, can someone tell me ... is the conspiracy de-evolution? What or who is Bob? Does Mark actually belive this?

[RevDrFaux]

"Bob" is high Epopt from the Church of the SubGenius.

[wantwit]

The Church of the Subgenius is an offshoot of Discordianism focused on Anarcho-capitalism. It uses the concept of bulldada to both exploit and mock capitalism. Most people who claim familiarity with or follow the CotSG hower are liberal collectivists, including Mark Motherbaugh.

[flicklefish]

@wantwit Jargonist.

[punkerhybrid666]

BOB!! De-Evolution is REALLL!!!

[bonnyandbella]

wtf??? i like him more drawing in the yo gabba gabba show.

[garvan1]

funnay

[pcsbyte]

How about Just having Fun... What ever happened to fun>?

[flicklefish]

I remember fun. Usually happens on the weekends, right? Ah... those were the days.

[bistaboy]

Presidents who cant get erections! Priceless.

[goonies31]

[stopthrm]

[45has2]

[LesNuvoles]

[arewenotmenwearebob]

[oneplusoneequalsone]

[cherokeebetchh]

[craybee06]

"it's Christ without a penis"

LOL, i gotta remember that one :)

[hetjaar]

i am glad he grew up some.

what a bunch of moronic statements.

i do love devo music though.

[GottiDaGoodfella]

you don't think those statements were all part of the weird devo image? that is called acting. devo rules! so does mark.

[narrator1982]

"it's fat ladies in double-net jumpsuits beating their kids..in Krogers"

Mark is my hero.

[XXXHaters666]

he is so fuckin hot!!! xoxo

[kraftwerkjoe]

...Christ without a penis...presidents who don't look like they're able to get erections anymore... F#*$ing brilliant.

[boredanddumb]

now THATS what i call COMEDY with a hint of TRUTH

[modemrider138]

it was on the Arise! Bob Dobbs tape.

[josswhedon692]

...this guy did the music for rugrats.

[339544]

He also wrote the scores for all the Wes Anderson movies

[josswhedon692]

my point was that its weird to hear the guy who scored a chunk of my childhood talking about weird ass conspiracy theories involving presidents who cant get their dicks up.

[josswhedon692]

i mean seriously, i just heard the guy who did the music for pee wee's playhouse say "christ without a penis" and then stare blankly at the screen

[AEFic]

lol Well said... what a paranoid little man.

By the way, joss im a fan of all your shows/movie. Can I get an autograph?

[josswhedon692]

oh, im not joss whedon im just a fan of his.

i should probably get a new username, huh?

[josswhedon692]

i mean something tells me rugrats wasnt a part of joss whedon's childhood

[AEFic]

i was lying... i didn't really think you were joss whedon...

[josswhedon692]

sorry. it's happened before.

[AEFic]

that's kind of sad...

[josswhedon692]

right?

[goatse42]

The "conspiracy" is just a metaphor for good ol' fashioned American stupidity.

[theoriginal72]

Phil: Thank "Bob"!

Lil: Thank you "Bob"!

[umlabs]

"Bob" STILL owes me something for nothing.

[CanadianBeaver]

Its the Brainwashed Program to think the world is out of Our control the Crime factory of Fear. the Word is God as God is Just a Word to pretend to know the Unknown.

Peace and Love Come through Togetherness in Reality not delusion.

Together We can and Will fix It All.

[nateisneato]

And now he works for Christian Jacobs. He knows his stuff.

[UglySean]

I heard this on one of "Bob" Dobbs' Media Barrage tapes but I've never seen any visual footage until now. Neat.

[ingekrabben]

Ja dette var fine greier

[hyphybird]

BOB loves barbie and ken.. don't believe me, watch devo's 'love without anger'!! (he also seems to make a phone call in negativland's song 'truth in advertising', but what the hell do i know, i get confused by the claims made in commercials!!!!)

[DEVOSpudess101]

Ya know i really don't know what any of you are talking about...Or what this video is about...Could someone shead some light on this for me? Please?

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

It's about the Church of the Subgenius.

[DEVOSpudess101]

Okay...Now i realize...I didn't quite know if he was talking about J.R "Bob" Dobbs or his brother Bob1..hehe

[xxNenekoChanXX]

We are all DEVO.

[huckle1]

[AdoltWhitless]

WE ARE NOT MEN, WE ARE DEVO

[Pantera6669]

[twinpeakbob]

[voaresagi]

EyiEyiEyi...Kill "BOB".and of course the pinks and the NORMALS.Praise CONNIE!

[spencerhead]

praise bob!

[xxNenekoChanXX]

How dare you write "Bob" without the quotation marks! grr.

[spencerhead]

oooohh... my bad.

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

Wouldn't not typing the quotations be the height of slack?

[theoriginal72]

The quotations further the palindrome.

[Jemmer1000]

Perhaps. The slackabbis need to discuss this some. Since it is totally irrevelant to anything meaningful its slackfulness is assured.

Would you like a grilled cheese sandwich? I'm making some grilled cheese sandwiches right now, you can have one if you want...
