Certain People I Could Name - They Might Be Giants

Twitterman: @cronny

I made this for fun in 2006. I'm told TMBG saw it through some mutual connection of a mutual connection. "We've paid for worse," was the paraphrased quote I got back. And I think that's pretty cool.

There's also a higher-quality version of this video at Newgrounds: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/313104

what is up with the pop up text during the lower quality version?!?!?!?! My internet connection is slow at the moment, but i wanted to watch this video. turns out i got heckled by the pop ups the entire time, how annoying. I couldn't even finish it. you suck.

@thomasestevezjr Both versions are 360p, and both verions can also be scaled down to 240p. So their load times shouldn't be any different. And um you can also just uh turn off captions whenever you feel like it by clicking that little "hide annotations" button.

But I do suck. You're not wrong there.

They probably meant to be joking in their quote, not to be rude or anything. theyre cool guys.

[AKAcronny]

@MimeSlayer1337 Yeah totally. I never thought otherwise. I'm so stoked they said anything about it at all.

This deserves more than 9000 views. I laughed many times watching this! It's a bummer TMBG never got back to you, I think this is some high quality fan appreciation :) You'd think they'd at least send you a fruit cake or autograph... or at least a cease and desist letter.

[AKAcronny]

@ChillbobRS Thanks, man. Yeah I'd totally settle for an autographed cease and desist letter.

You've been linked from the TMBG page on Facebook!

I find most videos with lots of pop up text are obnoxious, but in this video the popups are hilarious. ^_^

You deserve a medal. :D

[JackOLantern011]

Well people, their is this one button I found on the bottom of the video screen that looks like a squarish word bubble... click it, and let your popup troubles go all the way the wunderland......

[LeidenPierce]

I'll be honest, I stayed on this one because of the popup text. XD

[SpiritStiff]

Seriously, I think the popups are really funny.

[Ciccioli]

The popups were cool, don't be faggish, people.

[AssortedBullshit]

Guys, the fifth button from the right on the bottom of the youtube screen turns of the annotations. Thumbs up so people can see.

[Ashengraychild1]

They *have* paid for worse. at least, I assume they paid the folks wot made the official video for "Damn Good Times".

[sonofblah]

@thomasestevezjr I agree.Really irritating.

[AkatsukiLoverX3]

@AKAcronny You dont suck! That gives me the wrong impression..So..you represent They Might Be Giants? Act a bit less...sad! Please? :3

[runedscope]

This is honestly rather good
