People weren’t pissed off because of the lip-syncing. People were pissed off because they lied about the lip-syncing.
They lied about the lip-syncing because doing so was a stipulation of the contract they signed with Frank Farian. The thing Rob and Fab were really guilty of is naivety. They were young and inexperienced and didn’t read the fine print. Then, when Fab and Rob threatened to go public, Frank threw them under the bus and claimed he had nothing to do with it, despite the entire thing not only being his idea, but having long been his MO in the industry.
VH1 behind the artist?
pop up video!
Oh man that little jingle hasn’t gone through my head in ages. Think I just sprouted a couple new grey hairs in the beard.
Not their fault. I blame the people around them.
Blame all people.
Humans are the worst.
Most animals are the worst too.
Some plants as well.
Life was a mistake
Happy Towel Day!
Thanks, to you too! 🫶
Blame it on the rain.
They were absolutely in on the scam. I agree that Farian is the most to blame, though.
From my understanding though they weren’t in a position of power and came from not the greatest backgrounds. I’d consider what happened to them exploitation and while they should be shamed a bit and not seen as artists the real assholes aren’t them
When they signed their contract with Farian, they had no idea at all that they would be lip syncing. When they found out, Rob was pissed and confronted Farian, who threatened legal action against them if they didn’t complete the contract. They weren’t “in on it”, they were coerced into going along with it.
yep, we had an entire tv series dedicated to it!
Lied while receiving awards and acclaim!
And they won awards too, right?
“They” are not pissed, because Rob is dead. I’m certain Fab is just thrilled to see people being successful because he’s a super chill and legitimately talented dude who got screwed over.
Dan Quayle making a gaff with “potato” and then see living, breathing professional moron Donald Trump become president and have a fanbase.
Girl you know ist’s true
It’s a tragedy to see
How old are you if you get this meme?
I’m 33 and too young for the Milli Vanilli part but too old for the tik tok part.
So I don’t know.
Old enough to know who Cypress Hill are
And GG Allin, probably.
GG Allin will live on in anarchopunk & idiocy archives Forever

Adding insult to injury, the Tiktokers are lip-synching to “Girl You Know It’s True”.
Maybe that’s the joke.
The real singers were two men and a woman, if I recall correctly…
And an American-Italian restaurant specializing in pizzas
Maybe they should blame it on the rain
