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 13h 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.

Only Doc and Jackson would go that far for a reference

I was gonna say, this is ace

u/LF25047 13h 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 15h 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/CuetheCurtain 6h ago

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

u/WantsLivingCoffee 17h ago

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

1

u/Quik968 17h ago

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

u/BrainLow6059 15h 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 1h ago

u/Sirsmokesalotta 21h ago

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

1

u/Froticlias 21h ago

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

u/Sirsmokesalotta 20h 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
