I think that would have been The Brothers Grunt, which I have never seen and know purely for its inclusion on various "worst television of all time" lists. It was the brainchild of the guy who went on to create Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, of all things.

MTV tried so goddamned hard to make that a thing.

quote:

The Brothers Grunt were first seen in one of MTV's numerous 30-second promos. This particular promo consisted of close-up shots of the at-the-time-unnamed character's faces who seemed to be straining to do something (veins in their heads would bulge, the characters would squint and grunt) until the scene cut to the MTV logo landing in a pool of sludge followed by a satisfied "Ahhhhh" (suggesting that the characters were suffering from constipation and the MTV logo was the 'turd' as it were).

Pat's Kick rear end Limp Bizkit Site

Limp Bizkit is a band from Jacksonville, Florida. They started out in about late 1994. Fred and Sam were pals and they met up and then Sam suggested his cousin, John Otto, play the drums for the band. Then later Wes was brought into the Picture and Limp Bizkit was started. They got their name when Fred was talking To his friend (and now roadie ) and he said his brain was like a limp biscuit. So Fred liked it and made that there band's name. About a half a year before 3 Dollar Bill came out, they enlisted the help of DJ Lethal (formerly of House of Pain) and remade all of the songs to fit him in and then released Three Dollar Bills Yall.

this is a pro-click

Sometimes if I had to study or do homework for high school, I would just leave it on The Weather Channel as white noise. Those Local on the 8s :allears:

I messed around with this a few years ago, and I seem to remember it being a bit of a pain to set up, but so satisfying to have running somewhere with your own selections of "Weather Channel Music" playing behind it.

Wasn't there something similar with various UK acts being promoted as "The _________ UK" in the US? I thought someone said it was due to two different groups having rights to the same name, but in different countries. There was probably some US band called "Air" that it was easier to promote the other in the US with the additional identifier for a few years.

Off the top of my head, there were the Charlatans (billed in the US as the Charlatans UK) and Suede (billed in the US as the London Suede).

I think the "French Band" thing that Air had was just a one-off affectation, though, and it probably tripped up whoever wrote that track listing. They're not billed as "Air French Band" on any recording released before or after Moon Safari. I guess it's like if you see "Academy Award Winner Morgan Freeman" on a poster, you don't assume his parents were just really prescient.

Anyone remember Catdog? Reading this thread reminded me of how my dad (a normally rational and sane man) wouldn't let us watch Catdog. His explanation was it was the dumbest idea he had ever seen and a cat and dog could not be attached. He carries that hate with him to this day and still gets pissed if any of his children mention Catdog.

I'll give you that, but the aesthetic that we think of as 90s actually began around 1988, just like the 90s ended in 2001.

I didn't care for the shock-for-shock's-sake side of Rotten, but the Gaping Maw (which was uncredited but almost certainly written by Tristan Farnon, who created the seminal early webcomic Leisure Town and still posts as Spigot from Jerkcity) was absolutely hilarious (albeit in a way that would get quite the stern finger-wagging in 2018), and the Rotten Library really won me over with its research, breadth of subjects, and surprisingly humane core.
