A.V. Club Pop Pilgrims: Seattle - Kurt Cobain Park

[grungefix]

He don't know Kurt only his closest friends and family do. Just wish he had the one person who could make him stop. He struggled a long hard battle. May he rest in peace. :'(

[ColdShoulderMedia]

I love everything the AV club does, even this.

Don't mind the onion purists. The onion gets old, this doesn't.

[XxKuRoTsUbAsAxX]

@ColdShoulderMedia As a purist, the content of these videos don't bother me as they're actually quite interesting. It's just that they belong in a different channel. Subscribers to The Onion expect to view the satirical wit that you've sadly seem to have grown tired of, not this.

[redchango]

This is totally un-Onionlike! It seems like it's a genuine piece. If so - good job! This is a truly heartfelt and informative piece of journalism. Now get back to creating videos that make people laugh!

[Vmt16]

@redchango The AV club is their only non-satire section. Its good but I wish it was satire, it's so much more fun.

[colintupper]

make your own channel!!!!! I want to just watch the AV club

[mysterycity]

He had such a real talent; he could connect to people in a way that is so rare. This whole generation of disenchanted youth. He was one of the many who were failed by the American system of corporate dominance and shitty educational institutions. Well. That sucks. Beautiful home, beautiful Pacific Northwest.

[mrguycrap]

Is This going to have a continuation?

It better have

[VladimirFrogslayer]

I don't know if this is real or not, but if it is, much respect to all of this. Too bad I wasn't alive to see Nirvana in concert. I just missed being old enough to see them by a few years.

[seedah]

fag

[Poppleganger]

I'm depressed now

[BigFuckOffRevolvers]

fuckin' tourists.

[redking15ca]

This is some hilarious satire!

[mcgunn3r]

Why does the good music talent die? I'm sorry...but the guy offed himself with a shotgun to the head. He wasn't killed in a mugging or a tragic accident.

[MrSlowestD16]

They should have put these videos under a different youtube name.

I subscribe to the onion for commedy, not this. There's nothing wrong with this, just not what I look for in ONN.

[dirtdogg123]

why does all good music talent die! whaaaaaa! X**D

[GreenDay3213]

IS this the Onion or a local news channel............

[EkulGgats]

'My heart is broke, but I have some glue'. Absolute, unbridled... GENIUS... Pfft, lol. I searched this lyric on google, expecting it to be a parody, but... it wasn't. Was this video entirely factual in nature?

[RickMerchantttt]

@EkulGgats Yup. This, and the other AV Club videos are 100% authentic.

[planetgrinder]

that car looks rubbish lol

[soccerprog226]

Someone said nothing good ever came from Seattle. That's not true at all! Kurt Cobain's headless body came from Seattle.

[WillWilly13]

@soccerprog226

i don't know if ur kiddin or not, but ur disrespecting one of the most respected artists from the world of music. his songs did not only change the way how we think of grunge, but has also opened the path for new artists like dave grohl of the foo fighters

[soccerprog226]

@WillWilly13 That's clearly a joke. Nirvana was enjoyable. And I'm equal opportunity. I make fun of all people.

[TheRockitLawnChair]

@WillWilly13 Actually he was one of the godfathers of the grunge genere, and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters was in Nirvana. He was the drummer.

[ajnode]

This is the sister network for The Onion, if you don't like the AV videos, don't watch them... Don't get "tricked" into it over and over again then have a whinge.

[ajnode]

Lol why so many Cobain haters? Just relax ay

[SubconsciousGatherer]

Nevermind was '93. Bleach was '91. Let's have some fact-checking, eh?

[keithcallbeck]

@SubconsciousGatherer Nevermind was Sept '91, Bleach was '89.

[SubconsciousGatherer]

@keithcallbeck You are correct. Nice one.

[SubconsciousGatherer]

@keithcallbeck I stand corrected.

[keithcallbeck]

@SubconsciousGatherer Nevermind was Sept 91. Bleach was 89.

[StalkingRainbow]

Nirvana killed rock, Kurt got what he deserved.

[MegaBearattack]

@StalkingRainbow you are wrong, nirvana and kurt created a new genre there is still a genre as you call it "rock"

and besides music in genreal no matter what genre will change over time

[Mistersamsam]

@StalkingRainbow Trololololololo

[iliveforthemaga]

KURT CObai IS IN HELL.

[rduncan999]

honistlly if u want that stupid prise than this is the way to go!! i liked it eventhough its onion and its actually well informed

[jokamund]

Don't watch it if it shows up in you're subscription box...DUHHH

[jokamund]

Now I know why, you all are butthurt about their bashing of Jim Carey lol

[jokamund]

What because this isn't funny? No fucking duh it's not supposed to be

[jokamund]

Um why does everyone hate these???? There's absolutely nothing wrong with this

[Wolvenfire86]

2:11 - can anyone read Japanese?

[XSShadow]

Name of the song during the end credits?

[iliveforthemaga]

@XSShadow UR MOM HAHAHHAAHA

[jam2294]

Why do people hate this so much?

[Buzz0Killington]

Someone go to Xanadu!

[selectivexhearing]

STOP MAKING THESE

GODDAMMIT

[jimmy09112]

I like almost everything the Onion does, including these.

[FletcherHabit]

The fact that he went to a seedy motel to shoot up doesnt say anything about 'Kurt' like the guy mentioned but speaks volumes of the depths of his addiction. People are not their behaviors. All is well

[quietthomas]

Amazing how you managed to include something about Kurt Cobain in this car ad.

[sean0395]

I like the Onion. I like the A.V. Club. But I don't like surprise A.V. Club videos in my Onion feed.

It's like eating a PBJ sandwich and finding a chicken wing in it; Just because I like them both doesn't mean I want them at the same time

[VelaToNorma7]

Cobain didn't kill himself. There was another person with him when he died.

[NotIkeman]

@VelaToNorma7 Hahahahahahahaha! 

[thecanadianDJ]

they just really just make their own channel, not many onion fans actually like these

[Shinkada]

This um... Yeah. Not to insult the team behind it, but this seems very ill-suited to being submitted under TheOnion.

[daddyleon]

@Shinkada its a different sub thing...

it's not a fake/comedy thing.

once you get to know it... it's very interesting andy ou'll be happy they have/show it.

[Shinkada]

@daddyleon Yes, I know that, but I have no interest in it and by the looks of the like/dislike ratio many others feel the same. I'm sure it's a good show for people interested in pop culture factoids or whatever but that's not why people sub to The Onion, they should probably have a different channel for it.

[daddyleon]

@Shinkada I think you really need a bigger sample than just the dis/likes on one video.

Besides, if enough people like it... its enough. Not all 100% have to like it.

[SteelVelocity]

This was very informative! Thumbs up!

[groam6666]

To The Onion - Please stop wasting our time with the A.V. club and just go back to making everyone laugh.

[IlkkaTu0]

@daddyleon Air Arizona by Maritime

[daddyleon]

@IlkkaTu0 Thanks man!

Awesome ;)

[fernanhid]

This is an awesome segment of the onion! Great history and setting to music, film, and pop culture in general.

[shirleythehunter]

John Wayne says: PILGRIMS

[boogie123]

This sucked.

[mynamejonas]

I can't decide if this is supposed to be funny or not.

[ABigToeforYou]

@mynamejonas Even though The Onion and The AV Club are sister publications, The AV Club reports on real pop culture news, they just have a bit of a humorous tone. So it is supposed to be a bit funny, but the subject matter is real. Also, Weezer sucks.

[MorioKun1]

Post-Cobain Nirvana was better

[AntiChristAntiFail]

Where's the funny?

[footerest78]

Dear AV Club.  Less Pop Pilgrims, more Inventory.

[TheRockitLawnChair]

@footerest78 Pop pilgrims is awesome.

[ClassicRockFan1220]

...pffttccchhh.... closet....ppfffft

[Zeon707]

ASK ME IF I CAN AV CLUB, DO IT ASK ME

[hogarth131313]

From the video still, I thought it was going to be the bench in Forrest Gump.

[Andgrey]

Oh,HA ha I get it it's funny because no-one gives a shit about this stuff anymore

[TheInfeksjon95]

bullshit courtney is the fuckin devil and did s much drugs as her

[AstraVex]

.......I LIKE CUNT! :D

[carlitosvodka]

i want to go that bench, have a cigarette, wait for rain. then probably sulk in my woes for a couple of minutes.

[ShinkaTV]

this isn't very funny

[MartinLoronzo]

please change the commenter who's in the beginning. His voice is irritating, not at all like old theonion stuff had.

[bafmd]

Western Washington and suicide go hand in hand. Very gray and depressing place. IMO.

[abjuron]

I don't get it.

TheOnion linked to these guys' channel in their last video because they're getting reamed in ratings, and they have their own channel anyways. That's great for people like me who ARE interested in this stuff, and great for the people who AREN'T that don't want the links cluttering their subscription page.

I LIKED this video when I subbed to the AV Club's channel last week. I DISLIKED this re-up, because continuing to upload AV Club shit here makes no goddamned sense for anyone.

[montey1017]

[NotRelatedToBob]

"we're not tourists, we're pop pilgrims"

Nope, you're tourists

[Ibakecookiess]

@NotRelatedToBob "we're not JUST tourists," they know they're tourists :)

[jamariogoon]

@NotRelatedToBob you're an idiot. he says "were not JUST tourist". at least get the fucking quote right.

[RunAndCoke]

@NotRelatedToBob Pilgrimages are defined as "voyages to seek cultural or spiritual affinity" So yes. It is a pilgrimage.

[Ramiel4]

2:44 Have I been using benches wrong?

[BMillz720]

why are they still posting av club shit on here. they have their own channel

[elitemathlete]

That car is cool, its like a non-stupid version of a Mini.

[gpliao]

44 people did not come as they were!

44 smell but not of teen spirit

44 people are in the way!

[KKlawm]

A.V. Club is utter shit, that is not opinion, but irrefutable evidence: the same that they use to judge movies like Bruce Almighty and Back to the Future as shit. I don't want to unsubscribe from Onion because these farty old scumbags think blabbing on about movies is interesting.

[goldenrebel1st]

Subscription spam. New channel for this content please.

[Tressco]

Trivial format.

[Goonledouche]

wow children calm down, its not like these vids are delaying the ONN vids, they're completely different. If AV club is causing you so much misery, just don't watch their vids.

P.S. the like bar says shut up

[LasxMalvinasxArg]

This video don't fit in the Onion kind of videos I guess is another onion reality joke.

[DevelX666]

Put this shit in another fuc*ing channel, I'm tired of it.

[culwin]

Put these on the AVClub channel.

Don't put them here.

[RepresentinDa614]

RIP Kurt

[pacogoatboy]

Why is this crap not on the AV Club channel and not The Onion? I see the first, maybe as an announcement for the launch of the channel and such, but dang this is some seriously crappy crap.

[steaknife5]

The problem with these clips is, despite their actual quality, I'm so used to satire from the onion. As a result, I never know exactly how serious I should be taking the discussions and opinions expressed. It is like I'm being trolled by the onion, and someone is going to pop out and yell 'HA THIS WAS SATIRE TOO, YOU STUPID DUMBY!" Then I'll be sad :/

[chasefilming]

amazing

[xbdayx]

If you guys upload any more of this im unsubbing

[CrackerMcGillicuddy]

Love that Fiat 500

[talkaboutwacky]

Fuck this bullshit

[suckadickmagic]

The AV Club sucks endless dicks

[jarhead540]

I thought when clicking on this it was an onion sketch

[fruitegable]

The A.V. Club has a channel for a reason. It's not to post them on this channel.

[Nintenspy]

unsubbed! :D

[tubzza]

No one subscribed for this

[WoWProductionsWOW]

@tubzza Then don't watch it. That's difficult isn't it?

[Whyrendog]

I never realized Kurt wrote anything deep, I always thought it was a comedic approach to music like Weird Al. That was my perspective in the 90s anyway. I really don't have any kind of negative feeling, mostly good memories about the way music changed at that time. The only thing I don't like is how it seemed like everyone's attitude about everything became extremely negative like they thought the whole world suddenly went to shit after Kurt's death.

[BasWillemstijn]

IK BEN HIER GEWEEST.

RIP Kurt!

[Ashatokka]

Whoa, not cool. RIP Kurt

[RicRagsLive]

I thought some of the songs were good, I really liked them as a teenager.

Over time though there are only a couple tracks that still have power.

I never really got into the whole convoluted bullshit surrounding him killing himself.

He was a junkie who shot himself in the face. He would not have if he was not a junkie. So there ya go.

[TheHobgoblyn]

If Cobaine hadn't killed himself, Nirvana would have been wholely forgotten -- just like Pearl Jam, Papa Roach, Bush, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots and every other grunge band doing exactly the same simple, lazy music with sloppy guitar work, slurred words and no rhythm.

His suicide made him the "legend" instead of a "has been" or "sell out", so maybe he knew what he was doing all along,.

[14houghton91]

@TheHobgoblyn none of them bands you mentions are 'wholey forgotten' in fact millions of people still listen to them each day, pearl jam would sell out an arena in minuets.

[TheHobgoblyn]

@14houghton91 If any of them could make any real money, they would put out new albums. And clearly THEY are convinced that they cannot compete with Eminem, Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber. Or else they would.

Perhaps they aren't "wholely" forgotten, but they aren't nearly as beloved or demanded as they were in the early 90s nor do they get the sort of longing and idolization that Cobaine gets.

[14houghton91]

@TheHobgoblyn lol go and listen to gaga and beiber and quit trollin

[TheHobgoblyn]

@14houghton91 I'm not saying the current stuff is really any better-- it's wholely garbled up by commercialism with the approach to music being more of a marketing venture than an artistic one. HOWEVER, the same vast public that ate up the grunge bands in the mid-90s is now into the commercialized trash and the grunge bands simply cannot compete and would NOT sell out arenas despite your claim. If they COULD do that they WOULD do that.

I'm not trolling, I'm simply speaking the truth.

[hawkdreaming]

he lived there for three and a half months??!! ... i've sat on a park bench longer than that... what a promo-con, fuck oph wif this used car job...

[johnmonk66]

Who cares about another stupid dead crackhead?

@johnmonk66 smackhead.

[j1j2j3ism]

@johnmonk66 inconsiderate little shit

[johnmonk66]

@j1j2j3ism go fuck yourself, thousands die EVERYDAY, and this fucking loser kills himself, more of them should

[Tripp393]

I love the onion's filmmaking and design of everything. So I enjoy this.

[LadyDiWolfe]

@Tripp393 Ditto. BTW, it's interesting how many people are commenting something else than the satirical touch of The Onion here.

[Tripp393]

@LadyDiWolfe totes :D

[kyebean]

I live in Seattle and I've hung out at that park quite a few times. One of the greatest songwriters in history, long live his memory.

[halfingr]

I love how so many people are so surprised that the Onion publishes sectionals that actually mean something that they go into a primitive fit of ecstacy that they can only exemplify it through expletive tourettes.

Its so peaceful.

[Akirohan]

CREATE YOUR OWN CHANNEL GOD DAMN IT!!!

[Kiwirnango]

pop shitgrims that need to get their own channel

[Nazeye]

so uhh since all the comments have been bullshit so far.. was this video even real? or a joke lol

What the fuck?

[vilekyle22]

I used to run track with Kurt when we were kids. We were in the same troop when we were in Boyscouts.

[generalkyletheman]

Kurt Cobain didn't commit suicide. He was murdered by his wife Courtney Love.

[texastech777]

This is crap, END THIS SERIES ONION.

[annarbor84]

News to me, keep up the good work!

[pboisei]

i thought this was gonna be a really fucked up videos from the onion for a second there.

[BrokenBjartur]

Not interested in this anymore.

[Buck2120]

does anyone actually watch the AV club videos?

[magicmike323]

@BrokenBjartur Then don't watch it asshole.

[witch26071]

I like sex.

[darthspeaks]

@witch26071 Obvious comment is obvious.

For shitsake - stop thumbing up stupid comments.

[witch26071]

@darthspeaks I didnt thumbs up this comment. Everyone else did

[darthspeaks]

@witch26071 Then why did you say something totally unrelated to the video?
