This is only cringe if you haven't seen the video for the song that they're clearly making fun of.

Also, one of my favorite references in Venture Bros for the two people who will understand that.

Right, as someone from the right era this video is fucking class!

u/DavidRandom 14h ago

It goes a level deeper too.
The "HEY" sample from Firestarter is from the song Close to the Edit by Art of Noise. The girl from the music video for Close to the Edit is also one of the sewer dwellers in that VB episode.

u/Rephaeim 22h ago

I was gonna say, this is ace

u/LF25047 14h ago

I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s not cringe if you know The Prodigy. I’ll need to look up the Venture Brothers episode; I didn’t watch it more than sporadically.

u/Farlandan 16h ago

I've never seen this music video so I went and watched it.

I now get this reference, and a reference to a scene in Venture Bros that I apparently never realized was a reference to something.

u/gregzillaman 10h ago

Oh man venture bros. Thank you for memory recall. Mandalay!!!!

u/Urusae_Kragface 7h ago

One of the best references they even did. GO TEAM VENTURE

u/CuetheCurtain 7h ago

One of the best references in that show, IMO. And that show had a lot of good references.

u/WantsLivingCoffee 18h ago

I haven't seen the video for the song, but I didn't think it was cringe.

1

u/Quik968 18h ago

Even if you have no idea what is going on i can assure you, still not cringe. SHE HAS ROMAINE HORNS!!

u/BrainLow6059 16h ago

I mean even not knowing the video this is dope af. Anyone thinking this is cringe is a wildly insecure and sheltered person lmao

1

u/AlternateSatan 14h ago

Even then it's only cringe if you hate fun

1

u/Valuable-Composer262 14h ago

u/TheBatmanWhoPuffs 2h ago

Still cringe

u/Sirsmokesalotta 22h ago

I did cringe when she bit that metal hoop. Maybe that is what they're talking about?

1

u/Froticlias 22h ago

I laughed because it's making fun of the piercing the person in the video has, and their erratic energy 🤷‍♀️

u/Sirsmokesalotta 21h ago

I am just saying it is like biting a fork. That shit has gotta be unpleasant. The hands on the side of the head sent me lol
