Garfunkel and Oates are so terrible

Everyone knows it, nobody says it because their repugnant.

Just kidding. The 29-31 song killed me.

Is it thread shitting to say I like them? And their TV show?

You’re supposed to report to this thread. Here at the SDMB we have country AND western :).

Terrible? Probably not
Appeal to a fifty-something year old man? Not so much

My perception was just that there didn’t really seem to need to be two of them. Kate Micucci could do all of it herself. The lack of harmony plays into that, but so does my inability to see how they are in any way different.

And listening to the video linked here, she’s clearly the better rapper. Lindehorn/Garfunkle sounds like me when I try to rap.

Maybe, but Lindholm has better tits.

To each his own. I like Kate’s juuuuust fine.

Have you listened to “Such a Loser”?

*You can only fall that far
‘Cause you set yourself up so high
Who really cares if this time it didn’t fly?
At least you tried
At least you tried
At least you’re not that guy watching from the side
Who thinks he’s doing better ’cause he wasn’t defeated
When he’s just a non-entity who never competed
You’re the one who’s out there reaching for something greater
And you know
It’s better to be a loser
Than a spectator

And you are such a loser
You are such a loser
So here’s to you*

That song completely resonates with me. I was just, a couple months ago, promoted to management of my department at work. Wow, I’m “management” now, with a salary instead of an hourly wage. After 32 years working in my field. Wow. I will probably fail as a manager, and get fired. But … all I asked for was the opportunity to fail.

And that’s what the song is about. I tried, and I may fail. But I tried.

They were channeling their inner Teddy Roosevelt:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
