I'd probably buy a copy, just because the kid's so darn nice.

FUCK AMERICA IN THE RETARDED EARHOLE.

Plz.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Boo.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

If William Hung titles his debut "William Hung Fucks America in the Retarded Earhole," then Classic.

I can't wait for the "TS: William Hung vs The Cheeky Girls" threads.

A joke from The Kentucky Fried Movie comes to mind.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned - I swear to god, that was my initial thought the first time I heard this dude's name mentioned. I am permanently a 6th grader.

Well, now the pop mainstream has its very own Wesley Willis.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Bummer. I've never seen it, and am starting to feel left out. *sob*

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Wesley Willis and William Hung are totally different. I'd tend to believe the mainstream Wesley Willis would be Dirt McGirt/BBJ/ODB.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

"She Bangs" really didn't need any help from this guy to make it funny.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

wesley willis for the lost in translation crowd.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

William Hung's proposed album = a real life "Simpsons Christmas Boogie." The point where a joke becomes intolerable.

― mike a, Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

gygax! otm

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

the dude isn't even mentally ill, is he? i thought he was just really fob-y. i mean he's a civil engineering student at berkeley

― JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

according to this guy he did it as a joke

― adamth (alan_banana), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

That guy on metafilter's a tool.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

A big ol' right on to gygax!

― maria b (maria b), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:14 (twenty-one years ago)

dude, "fob" is not PC. at least in my neck of the woods. ask your wife.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha FOB-y (that's not a nice thing to say at all, but IT totally brings to mind high school and tons of asian kids running around in huge groups basically identifying themselves as FOBs and ABCs.)

I have only the barest understanding of who William Hung is. What's the deal?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Erm... presumably this is not the same William Hung who has fronted I, Ludicrous since 1986 ? "Preposterous Tales, now then, now then..." ?

Oh I see. It's really not that funny. Too bad.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

oh dear. that IS disappointing.

― fletcher dexter, Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

dude, "fob" is not PC. at least in my neck of the woods. ask your wife.

Where do you think i learned what a fob is? from my filipino wife. pc - schmesee

Alex, what's an ABC?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm guessing American Born Chinese.

― nickn (nickn), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

nickn.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

otm.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

just watched the clip. at http://www.williamhung.net/.

I love outsider music, but it'd be a shame if Hung turns out to be some kind of crossover figure because he's not particularly extreme or distinctive in any way whatsoever, he's just on television.
