Video My Dad Is Bigger Than Your Dad

Posted by Rob Simonsen on Tue, Feb 19 at 11:18 AM

I managed to catch about three minutes of the clusterfuck that is the TV show “My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad” last night (don’t ask), and all I could think about (besides “holy hell that’s Rock N’ Jock maestro Dan Cortese!!”) was how much I love Mclusky.

The above is a live video for “To Hell With Good Intentions”. If you’re not familiar with the now-defunct band, one of their strongest selling points (among everything else, really) was their lyrics. Take a look at a few of the couplets pulled from this song:

My love is bigger than your love
We take more drugs than a touring funk band

My band is better than your band
We’ve got more songs than a song convention

My dad is bigger than your dad
He’s got eight cars and a house in Ireland

See where the tie-in is coming? Replace “bigger” with “better” on this song, use it as the shows theme, and all of a sudden “My Dad…” becomes worth actually watching. OK, probably not. Not even the all-powerful Mclusky could redeem this monstrosity.

Instead, why don’t continue after the jump for easily one the scariest/creepiest/disturbing videos I have ever seen. That cat gives me nightmares.

That song is fucking incredible.
