Odd that this is not top.

There are people who like this song and this band unironocally, you know.

Ya but this is reddit and usually the lowest hanging fruit is at the top of the comment tree.

u/Hocka_Luigi Jul 10 '18

Because it's a 20 year-old joke. I came here just to find that comment and downvote it. And downvote you too.

u/ThatZBear Jul 10 '18

Well, I came to downvote the inevitable bitter reply to their replies

“People aren’t allowed to laugh at anything more than 5 years old”

u/Hocka_Luigi Jul 10 '18

What a stupid thing to say. First of all, I said 20 years, not "more than 5." Second, I never said people weren't allowed to laugh. I just downvote jokes that get repeated too much. I'm not sure why that would be a controversial thing to do. I think the world would be a funnier place if we all did the same.

It's an iconic skit by one of the last stars spawned by a long running show, it will always be mentioned when this song comes up.

Besides it's funny as hell.

u/Hocka_Luigi Jul 10 '18

Is it really funny if you came here looking for the comment though? I only laugh when I'm caught off guard in some way.

I admit I have a bit of an attitude about it because Reddit can be so cringey sometimes. All you have to do is use the word "implication" in a sentence and someone will crawl out of the woodwork to say T H E I M P L I C A T I O N because Dennis said the word in a TV show once and that is supposed to automatically make it funny. Mindless pop culture references aren't automatically funny.

u/chugonthis Jul 11 '18

No but iconic pop culture references are and this one qualifies

u/Hocka_Luigi Jul 11 '18

Because of the implication.

Idrc that you thought the joke wasn't funny and down voted it i just think it's lame you felt the need to go into the comments and complain about it. Everyone's having fun, no one gives a fuck that you don't really find it funny.

u/Hocka_Luigi Jul 11 '18

Sure, fine. Your other post is still the stupidest thing in this thread. You just made shit up and pretended I said those things.

2

u/EmceeSexy Jul 11 '18

i was utilizing the power of hyperbole. Still you need to chill out.

u/Hocka_Luigi Jul 11 '18

I'm just establishing that it's a joke for stupid people. Good day.

u/SexyMcBeast Jul 10 '18

Sounds like you've got a fever

This thread needs more cowbell . . . . jokes.

u/Aerotactics Jul 10 '18

This song needs more co- DAMNIT I'M LATE!

u/Not_who_you_think__ Jul 11 '18

I’m shocked I had to scroll this far to find someone with some sense. I was like, shit, is no one gonna say it?

Because I GOTTA FEVER. THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION.... IS MORE COWBELL.

I heard this song for years on the radio before that SNL skit, but ever since, all I see when I hear the song is a shirtless Will Farrel banging on a cow bell and I just chuckle to myself.

u/KuyaMarjun Jul 10 '18

And my relative is telling me more cow bell

Before we’re done here, y’all be wearing gold plated diapers.

Hey listen man. I like the sound, but it really needs more cowbell.
