In putting together the canon of directors that white people like, we must include Michel Gondry. He directed such white classics as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, and Dave Chappelle’s Block Party. Oh, that’s right Charlie Kaufman, Gael Garcia Bernal, AND Dave Chappelle – could it get any better for white people? Oh yes, it can.
You see, Michel Gondry got famous by directing videos for The White Stripes, Massive Attack and Bjork. These are three bands that, at some point in their lives, all white people have thought were cool.
Between the ages of 16-20, all white people go through a phase where they aspire to become a music video director. This is followed shortly by a phase where they want to become a regular director. But in both cases, they don’t want to produce generic content, they want to create art. As a result, the two directors who have achieved this (Spike Jonez is the other) are universally beloved by
white people.
If you look at the DVD collection of a white person (even those without a TV), it will contain “The Work of Director Michel Gondry” (pictured).
This can be used to help find common ground with white people. Talk about how you wanted to direct music videos after you saw Michel Gondry’s video for “Around the World” by Daft Punk. Then make a joke about how foolish you were at that age and everyone will have a good laugh. But they will also feel your pain about sacrificing your artistic dreams.
The observant among you will probably be aware that the white person wet dream “Be Kind, Rewind” is about to be released. This might be the biggest event in white person film since The Royal Tenenbaums.
Stuff White People Like 
Darjeeling Limited best quote for white people…
“Did you just f*ck that Indian Girl?”
White people love brown
I refuse to believe that it gets any better than Gael Garcia Bernal. I’ll not be swayed.
I’m white and have been for a long time and I have never heard of Michel Gondry.
Despite legions of white people liking him, Michel Gondry actually is quite talented and original. His movies su-huh-huck, but his videos are transcendant.
Between the ages of 16-20, all white people go through a phase where they aspire to become a music video director.
Not me. I think things like that are stupid.
And I hate grizzled old rock musicians.
So there.
This blog is hilarious satire! It’s so funny. I’m bi-racial (german/scottish and african american), which can sometimes leave you with the ever hilarious/troubling paradox of “Am I white or am I black?”. I was reading post #68 and I thought, “I certainly think Bjork is cool…I must be white! Glad that’s cleared up.” Then kept reading, “Hey! I wanted to direct music videos when I was 16-20 too! That’s two…I guess even though I am 1/2 black, I must be white.” But then, “Oh, wait, I don’t own ‘The Work of Michel Gondry’. I did seriously think about buying it, but never did. I must be black!” And…”But I did seriously love the ‘Around the World’ video….white? But I don’t think it’s foolish, I still totally think it’s great…black?!?”
After considering the evidence, I am forced to conclude that I am, in fact, both black AND white although this is seen as impossible in human american culture.
[…] but for tonight I wanted to keep the humor theme going. Here is a comment I posted on an entry about Michel Gondry, a director that white people like:“This blog is hilarious satire! It’s so funny. I’m […]
Don’t forget David Fincher who also did music videos and whom white people, particularly young white male frat boys, love.
I think you mean ‘white hipsters,’ not ‘white people.’
Never heard of this guy, nor do I care. I’m still feeling sorry for people who get confused when I try to explain the difference between Spike Jones, known as “The Man Who Ruined Music”, and Spike Jonez, known as the man who solidified “Don’t try this at home” in music video disclaimers.
This is disgustingly accurate. I think Max Renn is very right about this being of mainly white hipster variety.
My white hipster friend brought her copy of that Gondry DVD around with her, (well us) everywhere for weeks. Often pulled it out randomly during our trip to Toronto while frequenting indie coffee shops or clothing stores where the possibility of another hipster noticing her elite purchase was significantly increased.

don’t you dare call me a racist!!!
I’ve always loved his videos and I like his films as well. I can’t wait for his next film Be Kind Rewind. Looks like it’s going to be a good one.
Okay, this comments thread makes it clear that the next entry in this blog has to be #71: “Arguing to no-one in particular that you’re not like other white people.”
That one guy is a racist.
LOL! That was so me. Still is….
I have my music video planned out in my head. It involves recycling. I’m not kidding.
I love you, writers.
You know what’s really white? All the multi-racial people who comment here and brag about how great they think the satire is.
I think you mean ‘white hipsters,’ not ‘white people.’
The essential joke behind this blog is that ‘white people’ is used to refer to urban hipsters/yuppies. For this reason, multiple posts refer to the distaste that ‘white people’ have for the wrong kinds of white people, e.g. Republicans and other undesirables.
Stuff Black People Like:
-Being Uneducated
-Guns
-Rape
-Stealing
-General Crime
-Money
-Escalades
-Crack
-AIDs
Just a few hilarious ideas I’ve come up with if you ever decide to expand your site.
I’m white and again I have no idea who the hell a person mentioned on this page is.
“This might be the biggest event in white person film since The Royal Tenenbaums.”
+20
Stuff hilarious commenters like:
– Repeating the same joke multiple times
– Taking mysterious offense at satirical blogs
– Equating “white people like Michel Gondry” and “black people like AIDS”
[…] kept talking yesterday about how he was So! Psyched! to go see Be Kind, Rewind, but … Entry #68 on the Stuff White People Like blog: Michel Gondry. The observant among you will probably be aware […]
again, this is just another prime example of what some people don’t understand about dejected Euro-trash grunge rockers in their attempt to be politically savvy…I suggest if you want to engage yourself, that you become a communist.
I totally own this DVD. I’m such a whitey.
Another thing white people like: stereotypes about themselves.
but is it a stereotype if its not a bad thing? i dont know.
also, what does “stuff black people like” have to do with anything? are you assuming the person who writes this blog (or people, for all i know) is black? are you racist?
okay first “Between the ages of 16-20, all white people go through a phase where they aspire to become a music video director. ” only applies to people who were born in 1970 or later, I actually wanted to be a cowboy like everyone else white born pre 1970 (and male or lesbian).
but the desire to be a director is tied into a desire to be responsible for taking a work of art (such as it is) and bringing it to life. not just as an actor or a writer but as the person who controls it all.
art is greatly respected in white culture as it transcends reality and interprets feeling and emotion. however we cannot all be artists, ie actors and writers, we hope however that we can recognize it when it is dropped into our laps and bring it to full fruition. hence the desire for non-artistic people to glom onto the talent train as the guy who says “action”
Back when I used to be black, I liked Michel Gondry, but technically it’s not “back when I used to be black” because as soon as I began to like Michel Gondry I turned white. So now I’m living proof that white people like Michel Gondry.
Who the hell is Michel Gondry?
You should probably quit hanging around with latte liberals. Just sayin’. 😉
– Taking mysterious offense at satirical blogs
Seriously. Anyone who is offended by this needs to get his head checked.
Also, to #12 & #19 Anonymous Cowards: Die in a fire.
Gondry’s flashy but shallow “Eternal drivel of the arthouse mind” was perfect for white folk, as it contained many of the things you see here – not least of which are people issues like separation, pain, angst, caring, wiping memories and starting again… and it is just so truly deep we could weep.
You have completely skewered me. I’m an elitist hipster living in San Francisco and I think Charlie Kaufman might be my favorite artist. Out of the 4 DVD’s I own, one of them is the Spike Jonze Music Videos. Dave Chappelle is the only famous comedian I’ve seen live and I’ve seen him three times. I’m pretty excited about Be Kind, Rewind, and I even loved Juno. I’m so freaking white. Last year I went to a wedding in India. How stoked was I??
#31- I love you.
he’s alright, but I have to say you can’t fuck with Bjork… I love all her music!
Hey, I feel excluded…what about European European whites? You know the ones that stayed in the old country while they others..well, we all know what the others did. Can you come up with some stereotypes for whites like me who were born and raised in Europe and don’t catch on to most of the stuff that’s posted on here? Like who is Michel Gondry? And what about co-ed sports, expensive coffee err, sandwich shops? I don’t get it…or wait. Maybe that’s because I’m not only white but blonde at that.
eternal sunshine… good movie, no niggers
What the hell do you mean, no n—–,Whitey! I’m black and I loved this film, so fuck you and your stupid racist ass. And hell no, me liking it does not equate it to me wanting to be white–it was simply a damn depressing, but good film.
TO Anonymous: Your bullshit racial jokes aren’t funny. I’m black and I know black folks that have never been into ANY of that shit. White people do that same shit too—it’s just that since y’all are the majority, nobody calls you out for doing it.so you just get away with it.
ANyway, I like this blog–it’s hliarious,despite racist MFs posting stupid-ass shit like I just mentioned.
again – is it just me or do almost all of these posts make it look like the bloggers’ perception of people is based entirely on the williamsburg hipster brand of white people?
Thanks for keeping me posted. I can’t believe I missed out on this little crumb of whitehood.
I’ve always kind of disliked Michel Gondry, and thought Eternal Sunshine was really over-rated (white people enjoy thinking semi-popular things are over-rated) but I’m embarrassed to say that I am really excited about Be Kind, Rewind.
In general this blog is appallingly accurate, although a post about vinyl and non-digital photography is essential.
Also, “This might be the biggest event in white person film since The Royal Tenenbaums.” Sad but true.
Hey as long as you’re hitting movies, did you get The Big Lebowski?
ok this site is so true!!! I am so white!
i found out about Michel Gondry in art school.
[…] half-a-page down and I started laughing hysterically. Here’s an excerpt from their post about Michael Gondry: In putting together the canon of directors that white people like, we must include Michel Gondry. […]
[…] FYI, you probably like Michel Gondry if you’re white. […]
You mention Gondry and Jonze but not Chris Cunningham? Why? What have you got against him?
I used to think that white people liked satire, but judging from some of these comments, and the people taking this site not only literal, but factual…makes me rethink that.
and Anonymous’ 19 & 12…you’re not shocking, thought provoking, or funny…..try, sad, childish, lazy, and so very 90’s
Michael Bay actually got his start as a music video director, too – he directed all the music videos for Meat Loaf’s Bat out of Hell II. And he is not beloved by white people – or, at least, not the right kind of white people.
A hipster wouldn’t like Michel Gondry. A hipster *used to like* Michel Gondry, before he sold out and started producing things like DVDs and Music Videos.
Important distinction.
Proud to say I’ve never cared for The White Stripes or Massive Attack.
*whistles nonchalantly*
hey candipearl
this blog isn’t exactly “shocking, thought provoking, or funny” either, is it? In fact couldn’t it be described more as “sad, childish, lazy, and so very 90’s”?
An NPR story which contains a review of a Michel Gondry film featuring Mos Def.

A “STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE” TRIFECTA!
white hipsters? thats bit redundant. you’re not white if you’re not a hipster.
lols
I have that DVD. It’s wonderful.
But I fucking hate The White Stripes. Always have.
Though my pant-staining love for Massive Attack and Bjork probably makes up for it.
RE: anonymous, etc.
I’m white. I’m not offended by this website. I think satirizing racial stereotypes can be an effective way of dissolving them, but I think once you’ve chosen to satirize one race or group of people, you’ve opened the door to ALL of them or you’ve made yourself a hypocrite.
If this website was about “hipsters” (as suggested by some posters) it would be called as such. These are racial stereotypes.
If anonymous wants to start a site like Post #19, be my guest.
How are they “racial stereotypes?” Almost every one of these entries is based on something that is loved specifically by hipsters (regardless of race – yes, there are black, latino, asian hipsters)
I know white people love him, but can you blame them. I love him too, his videos are amazing.
This one seems to be jumping the gun a bit. White people love one of his movies, but I don’t think he’s done enough for his name to have truly penetrated white culture consciousness.
And the only music video white people like is Thriller. You know that.
re: post 55
the site isn’t called “stuff hipsters like” it’s called “stuff white people like” even though the former WOULD probably be more accurate
also, white girls really like wearing yoga clothes all the time. i don’t know if that is in here somewhere already
and we like thriller
Hmm.
I do like Michel Gondry’s stuff. But AFA the rest of the stuff on this blog, can’t say I really identify either way with it.
I’ll be the first one to tell you that I am as white as a ghost, yet I don’t really find this blog to be worth nothing more than a couple of chuckles, and nothing to bust an ovary or testicle over.
I wonder, though: how many of us white folks view many of these stereotypes with a smattering of ambivalence? I’m sure many of you probably feel the same way I do, that it’s ‘not me’ this blog is describing, or whatever it does describe, describes it with a wink and a smile.
Nice thing about being white, aside from running the country, these stereotypes won’t really occasion anything more than mild discomfort. Certainly not keep us out of the boardrooms or public office. We just need to get rich first.
Michel Gondry is French he doesn’t count. French stuff is cool for all races. Look at La Haine. It was the hippest United Colours of Beneton ad ever. Daft Punk is so black it gets sampled by black people all the time, like Kanye West who is the whitest black rapper going, he’s so white he makes Tiger woods look black. French stuff is usually so cool it transcends all things racial. Except Jean michel Jarre.
ps
British White people like Barrack obama too. What does that mean????
With all due respect, this site doesn’t make any sense. No one has heard of Michel Gondry. White people complain about gentrification all the time. I think the creators of this site should concentrate less on quantity. “Expensive Sandwiches” is just not an adequate topic even for a tongue-in-cheek essay. I think you should concentrate on bad leftist policies, rather than trivialities that annoy you because you think leftists do them more than other people.
I never heard of this guy until your blog.
Blog owner STILL has not addressed the “goth/renaissance faires/LOTR/SCA/historical re-enactments/Star trek/wicca/costumes/ ” White People connection.
Really, we’re not keeping non-whites out of those things purposefully, in fact, there’s a site called “ethnic goths” .
Those people must be stopped. That is OUR territory, kind of like mexicans believe about “aztlan” .
Srsly, is this ridiculous or what? Link
http://silentconsort.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/yeah-yeah-incorrect-schmincorrect/
To be fair, if you imagined these kind of generalizations in a different context, the results would be much more entertaining. White people in general couldn’t care less about being stereotyped.
But, in spite of that,titling your future project “things negroes like…” for example might generate more interest.
this shit is so fucking funny, and to Anonymous, you are really ignorant, but I have to admit I chuckled at Escalades….black people do love some Escalades
Have the DVD.
Daily NPR listener.
Card-carrying member of REI.
Busted!
Who is Michael Gondry?
Can he direct a movie showing how the white people ruined California?
I am a Caucasian American and do not find this blog in good taste. I think you should be fined and possibly thrown in jail.
I will admit that after reading this I laughed loudly, But I hit myself in the face as a penance. So it’s ok.
Haha this is a very funny site. And no it shouldn’t be labeled “stuffwhitehipsterslike” If #19 posted a blog he wouldn’t title it “stuffasmallpercentageofblackpeoplelike”. The point isn’t to be correct. That wouldn’t be funny. It’s satire. I loved it. And to those of you who did get offended take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Cause you could use a laugh and I’m guessing your fugly enough to make anyone chuckle.
To imply that all white people love michel gondry would imply that all white people are educated in the art of film. Now don’t get me wrong, I know white people are obviously the smarter of the only two races on earth, but I don’t think that even a quarter of them know who direct the films they watch. And I really doubt that they would spend the time to watch most Gondry films, a lot of them have subtitles, and that requires reading.
You forgot Steven Soderbergh. I’ve been white most of my life and for my money, it doesn’t get better than Steven Soderbergh.
hey, guys, i directed dave chapelle’s block party and half of my cast in be kind rewind is black and it’s about fats waller. Maybe you don’t remember who he is.
re: Comment #18: “The essential joke behind this blog is that ‘white people’ is used to refer to urban hipsters/yuppies. For this reason, multiple posts refer to the distaste that ‘white people’ have for the wrong kinds of white people, e.g. Republicans and other undesirables.”
And every race has ’em. I’m sure black people are embarrassed by their “undesirables” who live on the down-low, or practically have seizures in megachurch revivals, or buy ridiculously overpriced additional auto features.
And let’s not forget Asian undesirables, like chopstick or non-chopstick users (depending on who’s calling whom undesirable), actors who play stereotypes in movies like Gedde Watanabe and Rosalind Chao (in “Freaky Friday”), and of course the embarrassment that is Michelle Malkin (to whom white conservative men masturbate).
But it’s funny.
I love Michael Gondry. I have that dvd. I do not have a dvd player.
Other things I can think of for this list…
being too busy
talking about philosophy
cocaine
Australia
coming-of-age stories
jokes about white people told by non-white people
fake glasses
eating disorders and/or blaming eating disorders on society
minority revolutionaries (Che, Nelson Mandela, etc)
no?
that is proper funny just seeing white from the outside for a mo and proper clever
Yeah, I’m going to assume you mean hipsters too and not “white people” which makes this blog kinda meta.
Oh, you got us. We whites are so square and predictable. And Gondry is incredibly talented. I knew that *before* going to film school.
I went to see Be Kind Rewind this weekend, and while it was, as my cinema studies friend pointed out, “an overtly socialist flick,” and only two of the main characters were non-hispanic whites, the audience was predominantly white, and the main word used was “sweded,” (and whether or not that is actually a reference to a certain nation in Scandinavia, my Swedish friends tell me that Sweden is [relatively] racially homogeneous).
I should also mention that I love Michel Gondry, a lot, and that after the release of Science of Sleep, I decorated my tissue box at work with a picture of his face.
Gondry is one of my favorite directors!!! It would be a dream for him to direct one of my scripts.
OK, I am white and I am totally busted by your site. I LOVE Mos Def and farmer’s markets and all that. But I’ve never heard of Michael Gondry until now.
Can I add my own white people stuff list?
Pilates
Cloth diapers (preferrably made of hemp or organic cotton)
cloth bags for bringing home groceries
Batik
eating disorders (they will say they think they are terrible, but white people are drawn to eating disorders like moth to a flame)
The Green Party (in theory anyway, to vote green now would be considered white people suicide)
composting toilets
meditative spaces where you are encouraged to keep your voice down
fragrance-free events
booster seats to secure your child in your Prius until she is at least 11 years old
[…] Thinking? Do I have too much Chuck Palahniuk and too little Don DeLillo? Will that semester I spent dreaming I’d become a music video director be totally obvious because I have a copy of Christine Vachon’s Shooting To Kill? (Answers: […]
What if your white people friends and you (lightlady) decide not to ditch the art fuck dreams?
then what…
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I am Mexican but I fit SO clearly on this one, that I wonder if I am secretly white…
I like all white people getting offended
Im white and have acne
still not offended
the secret about this site is its a site about hipsters
read by hipsters
hipsters love do make fun of other hipster
its easy way of getting people angry: offend yourself
if you love Eterenal sunshine and electronica
make fun of people who loves eternal sunshine and electronica!
always a simple way to … ÖÖÖÖÖRHG
sorry my bad english
time for xanax and bagels!
good night!
When it comes to films, I prefer anything with Samuel L. Jackson looking like an asshole having a bad hair day.
That permed Afro in “Pulp Fiction” had all the brothers thinking they’d finally found a black who can act.
I’m a white male in an art school (there’s another one on your list right there!). I STILL have a hard time finding anyone who actually knows Gondry’s music video’s….or movies for that matter!
And I think his “around the world” video was one of his least inspired or visually interesting.
Great lists! can’t wait to read more!
Hmmmm, I think I can go one better:
A truly white person like the one you describe would probably go beyond the white heterosexual male directors and choose a woman of color.
The white people you describe have DEFINITELY seen these films:
Eve’s Bayou* (dir. Kasi Lemmons)
Monsoon Wedding (dir. Mira Nair–gasps of admiration)
Bend it Like Beckham (dir. Gurinder Chadha)
I don’t think any of these directors are gay (the Trifecta!), but mentioning any of them in the presence of a Gondry or Wes Anderson fan is the ultimate Checkmate.
(*White critic Roger Ebert named this the best film of 1997.)
Ha, this is perfect. So true.
Although I’m white myself, I’ve always found Michel Gondry to be insufferably obnoxious (and yes, I was dragged w/some friends to see “Be Kind, Rewind” and it was very very obnoxious.)
But you’re right, so many white people who are fans of “cinema” seem obsessed with him. I don’t get it.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/worldservice.shtml?listen
In this category you have failed miserably. WHIT STILLMAN. There is no other more ‘White’ artist.
I give a shit about Michael Gondry but he looks white so he must be legit.
Check out this video, she seems to love Gondry and his Laundry…
Prepare to be STOKED…
I disagree w/ Blanco about Whit Stillman. Since his films are already pegged as chock full o’whites, the white people on this site are BEYOND him. If you mention him you risk being mocked. (“You like Whit Stillman films? You are SO white–and SO ’90s!! “Why don’t we all just move to Seattle and use slow modems!!”)
There are so many humorous things to be said here about being “on the team,” but I’ll restrain myself.
Please discontinue your misspellings of MICHEL Gondry. Considering the sheer number of times it appears from the top of the page to where you are reading right now, one would think all you white people with expensive college educations could get it right…..make some small attempt to read carefully before you respond from here on out.
Thanks. It was really bugging me.
had no idea who he was even though i had seen all the movies listed. haven’t had cable for a few years, so that explains not seeing the videos. how did i first hear his name? NPR of course! yet another thing that white people like. oh yeah and between the ages of 17-20 i wanted to be a musician, which i am now.
you might as well say that white people like foreign films too.
Histerical post! I just saw Be Kind Rewind last night and LOVED it. Yes, without a doubt the white person’s wet dream – a feel good, all for one, dare-to-dream-big fantasy about the world us liberal white folks like to imagine we can create. I’m so loving this blog.
[…] #68 Michel Gondry […]
WHO?
[…] it, see. I’m laughing at me laughing at them laughing at me. Especially numbers 73 and 68 because it’s so true. And even if I haven’t yet decided if number 8 is true for me, […]
the myspace web-based show Quarterlife has a whole 5 minute michel gondry reference and it doesn’t get much more white love than that.
Michael who?
Oh, that’s right. I’m Black.
Never mind.
I’ve always hated the white stripes…
[…] Michel Gondry. Somehow I missed the ability to like deep intellectual films like "Eternal Sunshine…." I like light romantic comedies and brain-dead action films and lord help me but I do like movies based on comic books. I must have missed the earlier memo on European movies or sensitive stuff. […]

[…] today. “be kind, rewind” is the new gondry flick – and as stated by the wise purveyors of my new favorite website – is the type of film that white people tend to like. that right there was enough to leave me […]
Classic. I’m white and, despite the pain of admiting it, went through all these stages.
I haven’t heard of this new film coming out, but now I’m definitely going to check it out! Must be right up my street, cause I love Tennebaums and Life Aquatic.
what does it say about me that I not only know his name, but reflexively pronounce with a french accent in my head?

I can’t believe the list of Michel Gondry’s films did not include “Shortbus”. . .too much on-camera actual sex makes white people uncomfortable, I guess.
Noah Braumbach makes true horror films about the creepiness of white people. Watching them makes me cringe.
I so hate you for this but you are right. Sigh. It doesn’t make le Gondry any less awesome though. But I am brown so it makes it ok.
This is the stupidest blog I’ve ever read. Written by a typical non-creative, passive aggressive asswipe who feels that he/she can criticize anything under a cloak of “satire”.
hmm. his work sucks. science of sleep was myopic, boring, and induced motion sickness. ooohhh…the science of stop-action film making. blah.
white stripes? bjork? massive attack? as white friendly as they each are, they are equally boring and formulaic. crap. crap. and more crap.
by the by, MAZEN, white people like not knowing you exist, but Jesus knows that you touch yourself…
besides, you’re actively involved in commenting on ‘the stupidest blog you’ve ever read’, you reek of culpability…
i like site. me lick ball. okay enough of the retard in me. and no i don’t care if you know someone who is retarded and think we shouldn’t make fun of retards. of course we should make fun of retards, they’re tardo!
also i think their should be a companion site. ihatepooruneducatedpeople.com that would be great. then we can exalt in our greatness as well as beat people when they are down, just like in real life
white is right!
I can tell you what this white person dislikes. I dislike the fact that this is racist website and only leads to more racism. Turn the tables around and start a website the is called “What likes”and see what happens. It is not ok to single out any race, white included. It is truly sad that whoever wrote this is taking a step back as for as equal rights are concerned. So Sad.
This is racist.,.but i dont mind.. its all balls about what they dont like…
Anyway i find it funny how people say whites are racist.. ya know by calling someone a niggah etc
Yet blacks call blacks it.. :S an they dont mind..wth lol
An if a black calls a white something racists.. a white guy is like..yeah..so?
All this racists stuff is complete bollocks an should stop.
Anyway what ever.. laters
your so funny!
I should punch you in your fucking hipster face. You probably live in some gentrified neighborhood by Haight Street or in Silver Lake and all of this applies to you! You are further helping the separation of races by throwing these ideas around. Do you have any black friends or do you feel “cool” when people of other skin colors are hanging with you. Mos Def would be ashamed of what you wrote about him, Michel Gondry would scoff at your posting and I would come with my black and spanish friends and stomp your tight pant wearing ass off of your Ikea couch into your newly remodeled hardwood floors as you eat your chicken apple sausage, thanks for continuing the close minded escapade.
I know your some skinny ass over critical editor or something who is going to use all these big words to try and make me feel dumb. You and your computer that you hide behind should be burned.
*replaces white with black*
Now it’s racist!
*changes back*
Now it’s not!… right?
I bet most white people in america couldnt even name one of his movies and pronounce his name as Michael while eating freedom fries.
After reading yes READING the content I think you are all wrong. White is being used as an esoteric extension alluding to some sort of egrogere.
I have purposefully put it that way as only the Whites will understand it – The content that is.
This is a divisive site and it does divide and thereby serve the cause of conquering you all. How bright are you not to see that. You are all being driven to Race Identification and they are using it to pull your world apart – Yours being the White world. Remember the one that your parents immigrated to or sought refuge in, this is what they are using, “you” to pull apart the White world. Ah many of you coloured or even white may see this as a good thing. But my question to you is this. Q. Have you seen the TOTALATARIAN plans for the NEW WORLD ORDER? I have and trust me this new world will separate race, Black will serve White all feminists and radicals will be eliminated and the Gays will all be exterminated as we serve their new world egrogere. Eric Arthur Blair wrote about it he was killed for it and he saw first hand through his aquantances with the FABIAN society and a 46th degree Mason that ironically abdicated. We are all RACIALIST ie pride in our RACE. Racism is a rouse an illusion, this is what they use to make as ass out of you this is the distraction the ILLUSION OF RACISM Vs THE REALITY OF RACIALISM. One says I am Proud the other says I want to KILL you for your difference. I am PROUD to be what I am are you PROUD or is that too racist for you.
Negro be trippin….

you gotta go jack black. white people think he’s “brilliant,” when, in fact, he is, at best, somewhat funny.
oops, i meant do not go.
Michel Gondry is totally Stuff That Yellow People Like, much more than white people. One day I offered a free ticket for a Michel Gondry to my coworkers movie and the only ones who wanted it were all Korean!
Be Kind Rewind sucked
Yeahhhh, let’s not forget the legions of ordinary white people out there – they will have no idea about directors other than Speilburg, Scorsese and maybe the Olsen Twins. And, while I’m generalizing, I’m pretty sure those people share one dislike: the French. Especially a “man” named “michel”. And yes, I own the Gondry collection.
Eternal Sunshine was good because of Charlie Kaufmann, not because of Gondry. Science of Sleep sucked. On the whole this blog sucks. Making jokes about trendy white people is fine but you’re just not that great of a writer.
Who?
Now, if you’d said Alfonso Cuaron, I’d have known who you meant because I loathe him with the white hot fury of a thousand suns. And then some. But that’s only because he fucked up the third Harry Potter movie (look! something else for your list!) and I still haven’t gotten over it.
It’s funny. All of the people that say, I’m white and I don’t know who Michel Gondry is must be the ‘wrong sort of white person’ that you’ve mentioned in other posts.
With that said, being a good sort of white person, I went and saw ‘Be Kind Rewind’ this evening – and didn’t like it all that much. It got pretty good about 2/3 of the way through. But up front, trying too hard to be Kaufmanesque. (I think I saw Charlie Kaufman in one scene!)
And Oggy, sheesh – eschew the sesquipedalianisms…egrogere?? Puh-leez.
Folks – stop taking this so seriously. Its just a fun little thing. Satire.
I looked it up – it was John Glaser, writer for Conan – and not Charlie Kaufman in that scene I wondered about.
Sorry to get your hopes up folks.

this blog is generally hysterical, but this one doesn’t do it for me at all
Look here…
This site is mediocre at best. It is mildly entertaining. Half of the items on this list are garbage. The effort and thought put into this list is pretty embarrassing.
if you want some actual funny entertainment/blog/writing/insightful/great stuff
http://www.garbarrassing.com
go for it.
I agree captain. It’s a bit unfortunate. Instead of getting his rocks off on focusing on race stereotypes the author ought to be doing some serious writing/research/thinking.
This racial commentary – which really is more confused cultural reflection – is too much along the lines of personal masturbation, sad to say. Everyone that keeps commenting how funny it is are probably bores.
I’m white, never heard of the guy. Sorry.
Science of Sleep had me sleeping, it was awful. Actually, that movie helped me realize the existence of the subset of white people this blog talks about. I was thinking, who WOULD like this? Then it hit me, young white hipsters who don’t think they’re falling into a category when they watch one of Gondry’s films.
Eternal Sunshine was good, not as good as everyone thinks, and Be Kind Rewind, while imperfect, was very entertaining in some parts and is most certainly the type of movie that the white people described on this blog like. I know this because me (who is described by a lot things that talk about on here) and my white friends with our token mixed friend saw it and they loved it. If they loved it, then yeah, it’s this site’s material all the way.
[…] That’s so funny. You are so white! You’re in grad school and you like hip-hop and Eternal Sunshine… and you do crosswords every day. I’m sure that you write that blog, c’mon admit […]
Suggested post: David Lynch
“Darjeeling Limited best quote for white people…
“Did you just f*ck that Indian Girl?”

hahahahahaha…awesome.
While I agree that the Science of Sleep was dull and Eternal Sunshine is very overrated… you have to give the man credit for his music videos! They’re pretty great! I wouldn’t call him the best director of all time but to just cast his work off as pretentious hipster-fodder is ridiculous. You don’t have to be white or pretentious or a hipster to like it…or Bjork, or Massive Attack or any of the others mentioned.
And this site, really.. what is the point? It’s not really as edgy as people seem to think it is.. and even though it seems to be attempting to break down stereotypes and poke fun at people, it reads as apologetic and sort of breeds new stereotypes..which are pretty ugly. I don’t get it. Oh well.. to each their own I guess.

“I’m still feeling sorry for people who get confused when I try to explain the difference between Spike Jones, known as “The Man Who Ruined Music”, and Spike Jonez, known as the man who solidified “Don’t try this at home” in music video disclaimers.”
it’s not my fault i’m white and automatically think of the crazy black version when i hear the words “spike jonez”
also, i enjoyed both eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and the science of sleep. i think the latter is something that needs a second chance if you weren’t giving it your full attention the first time. eternal sunshine is a really well-thought-out movie, but not executed to it’s full potential.
white people like:

[…] #68 Michel Gondry (lame and over-rated) […]
I think “Be Kind Rewind” should be rewarded with an own post because of the movie’s extreme whiteness
Awww leave poor Michel Gondry alone. He’s a whimsical hand made film maker who’s always worth checking out. These days people have a hard time understanding eccentric whimsy. It usually translates into big budget flatulent, cloying sentimentality with a cherry on top…of the cherry. They want value for their movie ticket and they want to see it pissed away on the screen. Spielberg’s Hook is an example of a millionaire director being unable to tell a simple charming whimsical story without employing armies of special effects technicians and an overpaid and mis-cast ensemble of actors. What a charmless clunking dud that was. White people love it.
I’ve seen more of his music videos that films, and you’re leaving yourself wide open for a new ass hole-ripping rebuttal there.
This man is an individual, we don’t have enough people like that in the world, so stop talking bollocks.
im asian , and i love Michel Gondry and indie music.
then you are what is known of as ‘the wrong kind of white person.’
words up, homeyslice. I never heard of him/her either. Guess I ain’t white enough.
[…] 31. If you do not like Eternal Sunshine you are a bad, bad person. […]
Its ‘transcendent’ not ‘transcendant’. White people like correcting other white people, especially pretentious ones…
I’m half-white, and I love “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”! It’s one of my favourite movies.
I also dream of becoming a director (the regular kind) at some point in my life.
Well done!
If this is a veiled criticism, I won’t respond to it.

it’s just a joke, you ass.
people. stop posting comments just to say that you don’t know who Gondry is.
obviously it is a generalization to say that we all like him.
that’s the joke. stop ruining it.
p.s. you know who he is now after having read the post.
I’m going to rent “be kind rewind” because of this article… and the mos def one… this site is amazing.
Gondry used to be good with excellent films- Eternal and Science of Sleep (almost completely white) and now does his ‘ghetto is beautiful’ films (didn’t bother watching Block and watched Be Kind Reward- awful)
Be Kind Rewind
-all the whites are ugly and stupid
-all blacks are smart and responsible business owners
-Mia Farrow, what the hell happened to her?
Gondry: don’t try to be black, you are at your best when you’re white and do white movies
White people who like “Be Kind Rewind” are fueling the conspiracy to make the world upside down:
white people are dumb/black people are smart
black is beautiful/white ugly
ghetto beautiful and interesting/white suburbs borning,ugly
Wake up!
Never heard of him.
Working my way down the List, I’ve been tagged twice so far: New Balance shoes (which I buy because they are cheap and comfortable and I didn’t know or care where they are made), and bottled water (Ozarka, but I don’t give a shit where I toss the empty bottles.)
Oh, and grammar, but I’m a tech writer and editor by trade, so I claim an exemption on that one.
Maybe we need to differentiate white from white Texan.
And who the Hell is Mos Def, BTW? Never heard of him, either. I thought that was urban slang for “mostly deaf”.
Hey, don’t chuck your water bottles around. Put them in a recycling bin.
I am awake. That is how I can tell you’re being a pretentious dick.
I will post whatever I want. You’re not the boss of me.
I’ll post what I want. You’re not the boss of me.
and he posted it twice, because you aren’t the boss of him.
man you totally missed the mark with that one. The point of this list is making fun of how excessively cultured and accepting white people are– almost to a fault. Now if you have said “Stuff White people like: Respecting the right of other people who may have different interested to have sex with non-traditional partners, such as animals, aliens, or trees” then that would be a little more in line with the list.
Hahaha, totally guilty. I love this guy so much I’d eat his shit if I thought it would give me a second of his creativity.
Recycling is a Bolshevik plot to destroy our manufacturing base.
Never heard of him. Couldn’t care less.
I was going to say “what-ever,” but… you said it so much more explicitly. Where’s the Beaujolais?
this whole blog is about a special group of white people (like 15% of whites in US) anyway. if you don’t know gondry, maybe you are not part of it.
science of sleep = worst movie i have ever seen. way too artsy for its own good.
mostly deaf LOL!
UUUGh Michael Gondry , another consciously arsty and indie director for stupid hipsters to worship.
i got through about 20 minutes of “the science of sleep” and fell asleep..LAWLZZZZZZ1!! IRONY!!
go watch something of substances twats, not some self indulgent, self glorifying piece of shit
haha, nice. realist, you’re a tool, and Be Kind Rewind is a solid movie. It reminds me of the creativity I had when I kid and I’m impressed that Gondry still has some of that. And like other white people, I also like Mos Def (much more than Jack Black).
ugh, I hate when I make a mistake when I’m trying to bad talk someone.

I can count on one hand the amount of people I’ve met (of any race) who know who Michel Gondry is.
I cannot say I knew who Michel Gondry is; but as a white person I do own his movies!
I hate myself this is too accurate , i even have the Gondry Music Video DVD.
Here´s a great Gondry video that was not included on the dvd.
I just bought that DVD two weeks ago.
OMG! I totally own that DVD! And I LOVE Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Is that bad???
They may not know the name, but they probably love his movies and videos.
Who? Never heard of this guy… Then again, the only DVD I ever bought was a burned copy of Narnia…
haha. i don know who this guy is. and i dont own the dvd’s. ive never liked any of those bands. 😛

This is exactly me – except I haven’t quite left the second phase. 🙂
the royal tenenbaums is fucking fantastic.
gondry and jonze are awesome.
whoa whoa whoa! what about wes anderson? he is even quirkier! less artsy, but way more quirky and i think that makes his appeal even higher.
he is awesome.
This is me… I have that Michel Gondry dvd… and just as a bonus I also own the Spike Jonze dvd set as well.
Oh and I love the white stripes and daft punk…. I think I’m white, whew cause I was having doubts. Thanks for the post.
Everyone should like the White Stripes – black, brown, and especially red, white, and black…..Jack White is the shit…
I actually deeply dislike Michel Gondry, but this is certainly an true observation for most white people. I think the reasons that I dislike Michel Gondry are reasons that fit into some other white person stereotype anyway…
I hate to say it but this website is both funny and completely accurate.
I ask..who??? Never heard of this guy.
Be Kind Rewind kinda sucked. Or at least it wasn’t as good as it could have been. Read the synopsis on the back and it sounded sweet that Jack Black thinks the power station is broadcasting mind rays into his head and so he tries to sabotage it and gets magnetized but somehow the whole thing was just lifeless. The fricking liner notes were funnier than the movie. Oh well. Can I still be white anyway/
love his movies…the sciense of sleep is my favorite
I am new subscriber o this sight and im stil trying to figure out what`s it really about. About Michel though, i certainly dont think MIchel is the stuff most white people like. Im fros ZA and most whites dont even know who the hell he is. Anyway, i dont think it is of any importance if he the stuff white people like, what is of importance is that he is a really good artist not great just good. ANd that unlike most filmakers who feed people junk in the name of the dollar (balck and white included), he offers something more intellectual and mst importanly something that speaks to who we are, something called the soul.
Rofl, this is so true.
My parents and their friends love him, good spot 😉

Freakin’ A, this sucks… I’m so very very white and yet almost nothing on the list applies to me! WTF??
Oh my God, I’m so white.
‘Be Kind, Rewind’ was terrible…
But in the end, Gondry got to play Barack Obama and drop a wrecking ball through the hearts of small business owners. But being a liber-…I mean a WHITE PERSON, he had a heart…and he let them watch a movie first.
You know, because that’s what white people do…they’re humanitarian like that…as long as being humanitarian does not involve being kind to a capitalist or a Republican.
you forgot Daft Punk!
This is on the money. Haven’t watched ‘Eternal Sunshine’ but had the DVD of ‘Science of Sleep’ last night and wanted to switch it off after 10 mins, but thought it would be unfair to the movie. Finally, after 40 mins of nothing much happening, I saved myself another 40 mins of boredom and removed it from the deck. Science of sleep is right – it would have had me drifting off.
holy shit… this guy is right… I have that dvd and i am a huge fan of michel gondry… everytime i put it in with someone else we always talk about how cool it would be to make our own music videos… the only difference though is im actually going to college for tv production… helllyeah!

Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)
http://thepighasacurlytail.wordpress.com/million-dollar-fund/
Stop lying
Who the hell is Michel Gondry? Exactly what kind of white people are we talking about here?
We are talking about white people who have never wanted for anything in life and so have no depth of emotion. All of their experiences of emotion comes from movies and hit music so all it takes is certain stylistic flourishes and these people think that the ‘artist’ is talking directly to them.
wow you pretty much hit the nail on the head…
‘Be Kind, Rewind’ is such a piece of crap. It got boring and ridiculous after about 20 minutes, and then it became clear the rest of the – overlong – film was just going to be more of the same. Didn’t waste any more time on it.
‘Eternal Sunshine’ was great but this…one of the worst films ever.
This guy is good.
You’re fabulous, hon.
who is this dolt?
Now we know…and knowing is half the battle 🙂 How white are you if you know who directed the 1990s movie the Piano? And who’s the actress redheaded chick who’s maiden name (LoL) has a “Mc” in it? It’s not McCain, but think Samuel with his beers…or Sam of the Totally Spies cartoon series. +

What a stupid Box to put a great director in. Many people could love Michel Gondry. When will irony fart away and die.
Ok enough SWPL for me… You are obviously mocking white people for many things in this blog otherwise you would have made a post about pacifism and other things that “white” people are right to like…
And Gondry, Kauffman, Bernal, Chapelle, Massive attack, Bjork are all artists “white” people are right to like.
And so is the desire to create art instead of generic content btw…
In my country people that can’t appreciate those basics are generally just plain ignorant “white trash” as you racistly call them in your country.
Oh and Spike jonez and Gondry being the only truly artistic directors is the best display you could make of your ignorance of “white” people. Gondry’s far from the best French director, and Jonze sucks btw…
I agree! Irony does nothing for me and everyone seems to love to use it. It’s all over every aspect of modern popular culture and for me it breeds hostility. I tend to love things and they make me happy is that so wrong?
