It’s so emblematic of the comedy of the early 2000s. I don’t know how to describe it, but the skinny, white, nerdy guy being “too cool” was like the running joke. That’s not even it, but man, what a time to be a skinny, white guy, huh? You had all the heroes
I dunno. For me it was the early 2000s that this was going around my friend group. And, in my opinion, it very well represents what the comedy tastes were at the time
The entire grunge scene was “skinny white guy cool” and that was prior to Y2K. I mean, FFS, Cobain was dead by '94, but even non-grunge skinny-white-guy-cool was firmly 90s. Smashing Pumpkins peaked in '95, JNCO was bankrupt by '94, Trainspotting released in '96, etc. Sifl & Olly was cancelled in '99. 🤷🏼♂️
I meant more in comedy. It was skinny nerdy less attractive white guys with glasses.
I mean, let’s be real, there’s never been a bad time to be a white guy, I just meant in comedy the unspoken thru joke underneath so many comedies was skinny white guy “unexpectedly” wins
Was in high school when this came out and it was inescapable. Good song.

Wait. 2000s? I thought Sifl & Olly were mid/late 90s?
