#77 Musical Comedy

February 28, 2008 by clander

One of the more interesting things about White people is that they love singing comedians.

This style of humor involves a person or group singing a song but rather than singing about something serious, it has funny lyrics. It’s not any more complicated than that, but white people can’t get enough of it. Weird Al Yankovich, Tenacious D, Sarah Silverman (sometimes), Flight of the Conchords, Dennis Leary, and Adam Sandler are all excellent examples of the genre.

It’s a pretty good idea because when you have jokes that aren’t that great and music that isn’t that great, you can mix them together and create something that will entertain white people.

So how you can use this knowledge to your advantage?

If you find yourself at a corporate retreat where you have to put on a skit for the other employees in your office, it’s always a good idea to suggest doing a funny song. The rest of your group will get very excited and start work immediately on some clever lyrics. Do not worry about the music part, if you have more than two white males on your team, it is certain that one of them can play the guitar.

That’s true, whenever we have retreats for work, all the white people wanna to a funny remix to a song and somebody usually has a guitar in their car!

This blog is normally hilarious, but I get the sense that the authors are running out of ideas. This one was kind of lame. Actually, everything after gentrification seems like they were really searching for ideas.

This could perhaps be extended to the entire musical theatre genre as well. I’ll just mention one in particular: Rent. Musical theatre, personal awareness, cause awareness, and NYC. The trifecta. I don’t know what the word is for four things.

A co-worker (that has fit every single entry I have read on this blog so far) called me into her office to show me the Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon song that was showed on late night. she then showed me the new “revenge song” (whatever that is).

It is a total of 15 minutes that I will never get back.

White people love to be “first” ex: i was the first of my friends to discover stuffwhitepeoplelike, i was the first to have pink flowers at my wedding, now everyone is doing it, i was the first to cut my hair like posh spice, now everyone is doing it, or i was the first to discover American Apparel.
And then you have to blog about it so everyone knows you were the first.

I echo #2 and #30; Stephen Lynch. A funny singing white man with a guitar.

Weird Al Yankovic (there’s no frickin ‘H’ in his name!) is a funny singing white guy with an accordian. He also made great gobs of money for a little song called “White and Nerdy”.

To the commenters of late who have noted the decline of this site in the last few days: My personal theory is that stuffwhitepeoplelike will stop publishing after tomorrow, and will be revealed as an experiment in how to get white people to really think about race during Black History Month. And, I think it’ll be seen as a great success! I’ve read more on this site about some realities of race in America, and more honest evaluation by white people about how race works, than in any other venue.

I won’t be surprised to see the book version published soon, and I’ll be very interested in how many undergrad papers are written about the site, and maybe even a few dissertations. Hooray, authors, for getting (some) white people in America to think about race! Well done (and I’m not being ironic)!

Speaking of music comedy, Ive got this hilarious musical comedy of a the state of the London Underground here:
http://theworldofm.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/fatcats-and-piss-and-sweat/
Perhaps non-british people might not find it funny, but who knows? I showed it to a non-english speaking person and she laughed her head off, probably because she picked up all the cursing and wearing and was laughing at those.
on February 28, 2008 at 9:18 am El Santo

I was at a U of M graduation where the head of the Human Genome Project picked up a guitar and did a humorous rendition of Sinatra’s “My Way.”

He was surprisingly good.

Unfortunately, most amateur music comedians make my ears bleed. ESPECIALLY the corporate kind.

And finally, I’d just like to add Lemon Demon, Adam Samburg, and Dynamite Hack (for the white version of “Boyz-N-The Hood”) to the white comedy musician greats.

White people like to wear flip-flops or sandals in the coldest a** weather I know. As long as there is no snow.

Stephen Lynch and Dmitri Martin- not only are they musical comedians, they are white musical comedians. +2 points.

Under normal circumstances, I would include Zach Galifiniakis, but unfortunately, he has we already established himself as an “alternative” comedian (See #52). White people love being categorized, and it is impossible for them to embody more than one classification simultaneously. If Mr. Galifiniakis decides he would like to be considered a musical comedian, he will have to relinquish the “alternative” category.

soho_freelancer,

white people like to think anything satirical declines in quality as more people find out about it and “get it” too.

satire doesn’t fly over the head of masses as much as white people like to think it does.

IMHO of course.

One thing about this blog…I love it…it’s very on-target, but I think the main irony (I know, I know, this has already been pointed out countless times) is that the author is obviously very much a product of the upper-middle class lifestyle. Some of these, like “knowing what’s best for poor people”, or the patronizing nature of “white trash night” are good criticisms. Although I will say that here, it goes both ways: I’ve heard a great many “working class” people ridicule the upper-class, too, and consider them stupid for, say, not knowing how to fix a car. Many of the others are just observations, and are less “bitter”. Like Wes Anderson films (yes, films). Do I like them? Yeah. Are they formulaic? Very much so. But do I like them because I’m supposed to? No. I like them because they’re always entertaining. He’s a good director, even if all his films are similar. I also love coffee, but I hate when people don’t shut up about it. I tend to like the more expensive coffees, but not simply for the sake of being elitist, but because they (usually) tend to have more flavor. Same with expensive sandwiches…sorry, but a well-made and visually-appealing real turkey breast and provolone with red-pepper sauce on a baguette just tastes better than a processed turkey with American on white bread. It’s not like I wouldn’t eat the latter, but if I have the money, I’ll always pick the former. Upper middle class culture is the most acceptable to ridicule, because no one is going to object to it, even they themselves (self-deprecation is also a hallmark of the culture.) The mindsets and lifestyles of the working class, or black culture are easier to ridicule because the inconsistencies are easier to point out, but we’re not supposed to do that, at least not explicitly. Am I ashamed of being an upper middle class member of society? Not in the least. It’s who I am, it’s where I came from. As everyone knows, everyone conforms. AND every one and every culture is hypocritical. It’s inescapable. But I’d rather conform to a culture that at least attempts/professes to value humanities education, a large vocabulary, proper grammar, fine art, proper nutrition, etc. rather than a culture that regards those pursuits as “pompous” or “unnecessary”. And yes…I realize how arrogant and elitist I sound. I’m just being honest.

On a side note, I think that the one thing that unites all people in pointless conformity is the love of professional sports. Nothing to say to the guy at the party? Mention how much you liked that play at the end of the game, and what they did right or wrong, or assess the qualities of different quarterbacks. This will afford you great respect and admiration. Offer him a beer. If you happen to be “well-off”, make sure it’s an organic microbrew with “just enough hops”. If you’re working class, doing this would result in you being laughed at. In this case, make sure it’s a Bud Light or Miller Lite or Coors Light…be careful though…even though all those beers taste virtually the same, people are usually loyal to one kind and “won’t touch” something that tastes exactly the same. Doing these things will go a long way to show that you’re just “a regular guy”, and there’s nothing more important than that.

I think its fair to point out that this affinity is also shared by Indian people, although Bollywood provides its own unique twist to music and comedy

I also like Bollywood, and I am white; and though I don’t view my statement as representative of other white people by any means, I do think it’s a safe bet to say that more white people like Bollywood than are willing to admit to it…

Also, “yay” at Flight of the Conchords (putting NZ on the map?) Have loved reading through your posts, anyway.

I am a proud African American, or at least I was before reading this blog. I’m more white than I thought I was. I checked the humor section of my itunes and it’s headlined by Richard Cheese, Dmitri Martin, Tenacious D and a couple of South Park (Stone/Parker) classics. The King of them all is Dynamite Hack’s ode to NWA “Boyz In Tha Hood”. I’m so out of touch with my people!
on February 28, 2008 at 10:31 am killerbees

Everyone can be satirized. This is important to remember. While I identify with most of these posts, I’m not ashamed. There’s nothing worse about urban, upper-middle class culture than any other culture. It’s just more refreshing to hear it satirized. Again, something else “white people” love: new, fresh outlooks.

It is funny, and we do deserved to be satirized alongside everyone else, but I hate the commentators who are obviously bitter and jealous of wealth. The ones who whine about how, in college, THEY got a “practical” degree and worked their asses off, while the “rich kids” got their liberal arts degrees and got drunk and high all the time. These people are snobbish and self-righteous in an even WORSE way. It’s no more a rich kid’s fault that he was born into a wealthy household than a poor kid’s fault he was born poor. So suck it up, and shut the fuck up.

Use this one!

White people like jews because they’re also white but wittier, and they come with the bonus of having been historically oppressed. For a white person, being friends with a jew is like being friends with a black person, but easier because (unless the w.p. in question has a german background) they don’t have to face thier guilt complex quite so directly.

I feel that, after reading many posts on this blog — which have all ranged from “reasonably funny” to “kick-me-in-the-groin hilarious” — the author often confuses “white people” with “pretentious New York City pseudo-hippies who have either eclipsed the age of 23 and gotten a real job, yet continue to be pretentious and liberal, but without the gross clothes” …

While the artsy wanna-hippie white person is certainly one of the most deserving of mockery within our race, there are plenty more of us to mock.

Take me, for instance:

I do not give a damn about artsy directors, nor have I ever wanted to be the only white person in any situation — are you kidding me; how can you not mock the fact that most of us are deathly afraid of ethnicity?– but I do wear a button down, with a tie and a sweater over the top of it, almost every day — what is the point of the tie?

There’s no point, really. You can see about 8% of it.

But I wear it, anyway.

Point being, most white people are stuffed shirts and I feel like we could be easily mocked for this, as well. I agree with the mission to point out the likes of one sub-sect of white people, but I say dig deeper, my friends.

You guys are all missing the funniest part of this blog post (which, admittedly, I didn’t think was too funny until I read this part):

“if you have more than two white males on your team, it is certain that one of them can play the guitar.”

OMG I nearly busted a gut laughing
on February 28, 2008 at 12:24 pm Audrey

Things this white person likes:
1. this blog, because it’s funny
2. people who think this blog meaningfully addresses racial issues, because they’re funny, but they don’t know it.
3. white people who think not being offended by this blog makes them cool, and maybe even less white, because they also think it’s something other than humor written by and aimed at white people.
I guarantee that white people find this blog far and away more intriguing and hilarious than people of any other race. Thinking otherwise is just conceited.

I have to agree somewhat with Huney (#13) in that many of the topics have been hilarious, some painfully true, but those seem to be getting further in-between. When the stereotype fits a whole swath of people, that is what makes it funny and accurate, but claiming WhitePeopleLike Funny songs is really a stretch. Some recent entries might even smack of jealousy if I may say so. (I know – how very white of me, regardless of what color I may be.)

Also, whomever keeps sending in the list of
Blackpeoplelike – Watermelon hahaha!!!!
things, Please note: You’re not funny, it’s not clever, if you don’t like or understand this blog, then by all means, don’t read it. Simple as that. But please spare the rest of us of your tiresome responses.

The term “musical comedy” traditionally was reserved for Broadway (and West End, etc.) plays with songs interspersed. “Oklahoma”, “Kiss Me, Kate”, “The Music Man”, “Guys and Dolls”, etc. Has that usage died out now that straight white people like Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet are no longer able to engage in it? A better term for the phenomenon this post addresses would be “comic troubadours”.

If “musical comedy” is merely the combination of lame attempts to be funny with lame attempts to be musical, then rot like this would seem to qualify:

A few more, perhaps:

#78 Continuing Education Courses- a way for all white people to miss a day of work and do nothing, with absolutely no down side.

#79 Hot tubs- used by all white people, but only for the first six months after they are installed.

#80 Jennifer Aniston- adored by all white people, male and female alike.

#81 Lofts- nonwhite people settle for single-story condominiums or apartments

# 82 Hummus- nonwhite people much prefer butter or cheese. Hummus is especially white-personish when applied to whole wheat bread or pitas.

White Noobs move to San Francisco. Then when they have a family they move east to Berkley. The nice part with out a black person in sight. Rockridge maybe?

However, due the economy and house prices falling, they opt to buy a how down San Jose, Santa Clara area. As a result, more white people wearing leather jackets at night trying to hail a cab in the suburbs.

*note: You have to call a cab in the suburbs. Thanks

I’m still chuckling the night away,
haven’t read all the posts so this might
already be included, but one thing that
white people like is to talk about this
black person they know, without actually
saying “black”.

Almost all of what’s considered white here is
similar to something called “Svensson” in Sweden,
which Swedes think is a terrible thing to be, but
almost all of them are anyhow. I suppose that’s
a step further than just being white in the US though.

fun blog! 😀

#33 that was brilliant! Perhaps Albi the Racist Dragon (Well not anymore) is writing this blog. If FOTC has taught us anything it’s that some white people don’t drink bottled water, drive a prius, have dogs or vote for Obama…why? Because they’re white people from New Zealand, and some “white” people are part Maori like Jemaine Clements. This blog is amusing, but very American, FOTC is hysterical and very New Zealand.

This site is hilarious.
I like to wear flip flops and sandals in the winter too. Sometimes crocs. And I like sweater vests- best if they are argyle with a tee and jeans. They go great with flip flops.
So many of these things apply to me, it’s just too odd… (I hate carpet. I don’t close the curtains. The coffee thing. Sushi. I want to live near the ocean, and I can’t even swim.
The ethnic heritage thing, although my mother & family are French imports.
I can tell you Southern white people are not too fond of the French. yikes! Maybe no one is. Not used to that blunt type of honesty I guess.

Some other things I think white people like are Reddiwhip, playing solitaire, the weather channel, saying stupid words like “dingleberry”,
and dead people- especially Jackie Kennedy, her sunglasses, her clothes, anything J Kennedyish.
And is it just a white people thing or does everyone think famous people die in threes? Just wondering.

I’m sure this has been said before, but I’m new to this blog, so I will say it anyway: white people love “Stuff White People Like” because it allows them to laugh at themselves without feeling like they have actually been insulted.

on February 28, 2008 at 1:46 pm Ruchi

Great blog. Read it all in one sitting, that’s how hooked I

was.

I’m a little surprised the following haven’t been mentioned

yet:

1. Organization
White people love to organize things, into as many

similar-yet-different categories as they can think of. Such is

their love for minute details and the power of these details

when it comes to asserting their individuality that there are

companies that have built their business models around this

(*coughStarbuckscough*). Of course, the real reason all white

people go to Starbucks is that for every gallon or so of water

you buy from them, they’ll donate one bottle to some poor

African country, because research has shown one donated bottle

serves more parched throats when it comes along with ten aware

white people (ties into your earlier post about Awareness). Of

course, these aware white people are then going to go volunteer

in Africa because – duh – they love to travel and because –

more importantly – there’s no substitute for that when it comes

to MBA admissions.
Anyways, back to the point: I’ve seen people who will never

write directly on a notebook; they will write-it on a post-it

and then paste-it there. I’ve seen people who have three kinds

of post-its next to their phone; one for each person in the

family. Because wasting paper is better for the environment

than wasting ink on writing who the message is for.
And then there are others who have three kinds of post-its next

to their phone: all for the same white empty nester who happens

to have three friends (including one obligatory black friend,

of course).
And THEN….there are people who have three kinds of post-its

next to their phone. One for each of three KINDS of messages:
1. Work related
2. Family related
3. All Others

Now these are the same white people who call other white people

control-freaks. Other white people who feel cockroaches

crawling on their skin when they see a category called All

Others. What kind of a ridiculous category is that? How lazy do

you have to be to not categorize your phone messages into:
1. Hobby #1 related
2. Hobby #2 related
.
.
N. Hobby #N related
N+1. Hobby #N related, but from family
.
.
.
R. Messages from lawn-mower
R+1. Messages from telemarketers

This way, when a white person’s parent’s spouse tells them

they’ve got a message from a telemarketer, all they have to do

is sift through the hundreds of post-its. As opposed to, like,

going through, like, one other message from like, their friend,

and like, wondering which one was from the telemarketer.

2. Seasons
White people like to give all their material possessions a once-over every time the seasons change. Of course, the purpose of the material possessions is to boost their confidence and self-image so we’re not allowed to judge them on that. (Because they’re “worth” it, as L’Oreal says.)
White people clean their homes and closet once every spring when they partake is the ritual called Spring Cleaning. Some white people also buy themselves Summer Homes (in places that are only inhabited by humans during the summer) because, hey, everyone needs a place to call Summer Home in the summer, right? Some other white people – women esp., but also high maintenance gay men who need to carry their Stuff to make sure they always look good (in case you thought we were homophobes) – love to spend a few thousand dollars every spring on a new Spring Bag. This bag is used to carry a lipstick and other makeup in their favorite shade of a spring color, their new spring perfume, and the newest cellphone model that came out this spring. Now obviously this is a lot of work and white people can never be sure if a SUMMER bag can do it all.
Oh, and they love to make PLANS for every season. “What are you doing this winter?” “Oh, I’m thinking of working on my book.” (Ties into your earlier post about getting published.)

Okay, somebody needs to stop me from going on and on about this!!

A few more, I can’t resist:

#83 Fountain pens- to everyone but white people stopped using these 100 years ago.

#84 Commemorative license plates- nonwhite people usually prefer vanity tags

#85 Alternative Dispute Resolution- The 21st century white person prefers ADR over lawyers.

#86 Jackie Robinson Day- celebrating this event for those white people who follow baseball is a convenient, enjoyable way to prove they are not racist.

as some others have been saying, the whole aim of this blog is to define what it means to be a white person. like it or not, we are all defined by something.

you should not feel guilty for adhering to stereotypes- although the blog presents them in a negative manner, they are just ways that we conform to the norm. the point is understanding that you are white, and understanding that although you might want to be an individual, we are all products of greater social forces, such as race.

what the sight also does, through giving whites a group identity, is make them distinct from other races. with this, we can begin to understand how we have been influenced in our racial group and how our experiences differ from those in other groups.

it is easy to be defensive.

RESPONSE TO #72:
cultures can be ridiculed. each has its own that is ridicule-worthy as you suggest.
except, dominant culture created cultural ridicule
with black-face and mammy (at least broadly so)…so there is no chicken or egg. there is chicken, then there is egg, or if you prefer there is egg, and then the chicken. but never
chicken or egg. i’m a boolean bitch, pardon.

so dominant culture should be willing to sit back
and let the jokes/satire flow without so much a raised eye-brow, or justification, or an attempt to re-mock.

moreover, i find your analysis of the blog’s author fallacious. he perhaps may be as you say, but also may be an astute observer.

i myself am black, male, tall, and WAY lower-class, but observant in the extreme. our blogger may also be this…how so? he could work as a caddy, a server in a snooty bistro, or a landscape architect, or more simply just be USA citizen…it doesn’t take a college degree to read, write, or speak well. exposure to whites and white culture is SO ubiquitous, friend. your assumption that the blogger must be from your class because of what and how he has written speaks to the arrogance that almost invariably accompanies it.

that being said it is deliciously plausible that he does come from the upper-middle class, but incorrect to assume so only.

white. which means white people love white people.
on February 28, 2008 at 3:54 pm Emilya (and a jew.)

Someone hasn’t seen enough jews to know that Jews are not “white”.
Most Jews if you look at their families may look white, and may look like they’re straight out of the middle east. I’m going to assume most have only seen Jews in United States.
As a proud American-Israeli Jew (born in Israel, lived in Israel, and now living in US, exactly half of my life spent in both countries 🙂 ..) We do in the US call it Judeo-Christianity, but when we say “white” it really means in the WASPy sense–something that Jews are not.
Many of the things that are ridiculed here is really American culture that everyone can relate to, and I can as well.

Judaism is not only a religion, it’s a way of life, and a culture, which is why it’s not “white”. WHen it comes to religious beliefs, it’s agnostic. What am I, what group I belong to, is not the same thing to what I believe.

I have lived in exclusive white communities, attended Ivy League schools with “white people” and I’m so Happy I’m not White. So White people out there, keep reading this blog because hopefully you will finally see why non-whites in the United States have such major problems with white people.

white people have been taught by the politically correct movement to hate and mock them selfs. White men are the new nigger on tv and in movies. Chapple says whitey white boi and becomes a celebrity, Richard says nigger and becomes a pariah.

The media is completely racist, they only publish stories about white hatred ignoring that all races are capable.

I hope the lefts biased influence ends and we can become color blind and begin to progress, these times of racist witch hunts and self depreciating white folk are stagnant stupid times indeed.

Now I’ve never cared for musical comedy, except in “The Simpsons”. I much prefer ventriloquest acts. I once had this great idea for a ventriloquest act based on Elvis Impersonation. Both the ventriloquest, and the dummy, are dresserd in identical Elvis jump suits, with the hair, sideburns, and sun glasses. Sadly it never caught on. I had hoped for a second chance during the window of opportunity offered by the WGA strike, but they wrapped things up just in time for the Academy Awards. Alas.

Still, at the rate entertainment is going, who knows…

I had to take notes with pencil and paper just to remember all the things I wanted to say, comment on, respond to. And I’m still leaving shit out. First off (maybe it shouldn’t be), comment #84 about how white people love having a Jewish friend is absolutely true. (For my friends?) Really, though, most people get excited when they find out I’m Jewish. It usually happens in the first few seconds when one of my other friends says “He’s a Jew” or something along those lines.

To the dude who said “Liam Lynch,” I want you to be my second best friend, for I love Sifl & Olly. But nobody likes that show, other than my white friend.

White people DO love Dave Chappelle.

@ Comment 118: Thank you for the Murray Hewitt quote. Made my day. Sadly.

Yo, Luke R., I had to feel awkward when I told a whiter friend about how I just had hummus (with Sesame Breadsticks, gasp!). You will never read this, by the way.

I have noticed that white people like the word “Turd” still. I fucking hate that word. It makes me feel like I’m in elementary school.

RayRay, please be my friend. There are approximately 7 black people in San Antonio. I previously lived in South Carolina, so it is quite a change.

Lastly, “-esque” is so very white. Whoever said that is so very right. ish.

who is the target audience for this blog?

most people who have computers and look at blogs are white. the next entry should be #78: blogs. did that one already happen? all the white people i know look at a lot of blogs, and have blogs and care about blogs and search for blogs and want to find the coolest one. they brag about it, and they recommend blogs. it’s a status symbol, and it’s a huge waste of time. white people look at blogs while they sit at their desks, and while they lay in bed at night with their laptops. people of color simply do not do these things.

somebody should make a blog about this blog.

and then i will start a blog about how it’s stupid to start blogs about other blogs. that’s going to be fucking sweet. that’s another thing white people like: self-referentiality. always repeating the same shit over and over, recycling jokes, concepts, modes of domination, commenting endlessly on comments about comments. black people don’t reference each others’ ideas. especially not in music.

if i were a white man, (which i am) i would probably read this website very often.

p.s. and this is the earnest part: there is no such thing as reverse-racism. this blog is not “racist against white people.” that is the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard. the first thing this country should do is figure out how to convince us white people that our society has sickness built into its history, it’s legal system, its education, etc. same goes for sexism.

p.p.s. fragments. small fragments.

Now is this some type of coin-inkydink. I think not, I mean if a musical-comedy is funny, then it funny. Your a$$ could be high yellow, and flat like a white girls, until JLo made it cool for non-sistas to have a$$, and if a musical-comedy is funny you will laugh, if real funny you may even laugh your a$$ off, but if it’s wack, it’s wack, stuffwhitepeoplelike and got on reserve or not.

cool, i accept your apologies. the thing i wrote was more a thought exercise, because for the most part i like this site – it cracks me up – but i think it reinscribes racist language sometimes. it might work against its own goals. but i don’t know what those goals are, so i may be wrong…also, isn’t that what comment sections are made for? screeds?

and, it annoys me in these comments and elsewhere when white people say they are victims of reverse-racism or when men say they are victims of reverse-sexism. seems almost impossible.

but you might want to check up on your homophobic remarks, jajo. my gay friend here is so upset he might have to fill somebody with his juice… and i guess it will have to be me.

Ten dollar burgers with water from springs
These are a few of my white person things

Rehabbing houses with government money
Organic remedies laden with honey
Travelling to Europe and voting Obama
Now I find that I must love Mos Def and his mama

Hot Asian chicks, Indie art flicks, micro-brewed beer and tea
Get me my Starbucks and other white stuff

Holy Spamalot! Musical comedy has proven almost as contraversial as bottled water. Still “A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum” was almost funny at times, right? Loved the opening song “Comedy Tonight”.

White people also seem to love the Beatles. They compare them to Beethoven, so I’m guessing that it’s not a musical comedy thing. Progressive Rock too. I love Jethro Tull!

For more things whites like reference the song “America’s Great National Passtime” by The Byrds.

White people love television. They pretend that they never watch it, or only watch hip, edgy shows or pbs, but they can all quote Scrubs verbatim.

White people also like sidekicks of color, especially Kevin on the Jay Leno show. White people secretly hope that Kevin will rise up and strangle Jay while the studio audience applauds.

White people like to put their smartest books in the public shelf, and arrange the books so their spines are all flush.

White people like Ikea, because it’s like visiting europe on the cheap. Never mind that Ikea is europe’s Kmart.

When white academics are applying for academic jobs, they suddenly discover every shred of non-white ethnicity in their background and claim it.

But really, this blog should be called, “What white Portlanders like.”

“I wear birkenstocks because they’re comfortable.”

“I drive a Volvo because it is safe.”

This is especially effective if proper very-white-looking-people talk as if they’re black – better yet, you can make them rap. Conversely, you can get a black person that sounds very white. It’s a surefire comedy formula that white people will find funny, for some fucking reason, every time.

I hang out at a very very white bar in my neighborhood; yesterday afternoon this one annoying as hell guy, who’s a regular came in, played the same crappy songs on the jukebox that he’s been playing for years (some lousy Queen song that you never hear on the radio) and began to sing along but changing the words to make the song sound humorous and a little dirty. Anyway, I thought of this particular part of this forum of this blog and was going to tell him about it; not sure he’d get the joke and he’s stupid and doesn’t know how to turn on a computer.

“Weird Al Yankovich, Tenacious D, Sarah Silverman (sometimes), Flight of the Conchords, Dennis Leary, and Adam Sandler are all excellent examples of the genre.”
Meh, the only one I’ve liked to date that I found quite recently was Rodney Carrington, and that’s only because he appeals to that 10% of my brain that really likes puerile humour.

“White people love standing in long lines for new technology – e.g. ipod, ps3, etc.”

White people love standing in long lines – period.

Whites will stand in a long line for anything. It’s as if they’re genetically programmed for it. It doesn’t really matter what the line is for either. If there’s a short line and a long next to each other, they will choose the long line 90% of the time. Some of them won’t even know why they’re standing in line. They just see others do it, so they jump on board. Which leads me to another thing white people love:

Jumping on the bandwagon (aka fads). As much as white people love being first to discover something, they also love following (this is why it’s so important to be FIRST at something…so they’re not accused of being a follower like every other white person).

According to this article, all white people are upper middle class. In my home, we value the Elk’s head on the wall and the kudzu garden. We would no more spend money on a designer chair than we would a Berlitz course. We are anxiously waiting for our tax rebate so we can put bigger tires on the pickup. We also need money for shoes that will accommodate an unconventional number of toes. I have been chosen to write this comment, because I have an associates degree in animal husbandry. Don’t ask.

boss is jewish and female. she is white.
moreover, by your logic, as a dark-skinned black, all i have
to do is take part in white culture and that will make me
white. sorry. it doesn’t work in this way.
i agree judaism is more than a belief. it is a culture and a way of life. i whole-heartedly agree, but if i convert to judaism, my skin will not lighten (nor darken for that matter because jews are white and black), nor will my hair become less kinky.

I’ve found the irony of the Rutles to be quite satisfying – although their songs are not “funny” the idea of them is shear genius, and the obscurity of them surely adds points to their score, being both british, beatle-ish AND having the original SNL cast involved.

Are there Black people and Hispanics and Asians walking around thinking everyday to themselves “…Ya know, if those white people would just give up that Damn musical Comedy I could almost get along with them!”

i really dislike comedy songs or singing comedians. that dick in box thing caused my in-laws no end of mirth, but I just don’t get it. similarly, adam sandler’s songs make them chuckle and leave me cold. why is writing a song with “humorous” lyrics so much more funny than just saying the same words? is it another example of that (white) American artform – musical theater – that I don’t get either?

i should add that i’m a music-loving, white european living in america, so do buy in to much of the stuff white people like, but this phenomenon is much more prevalent among American whites and so far has proven inscrutable to me.

When I saw Flight of the Conchords listed here I knew I was in trouble. I started reading off the rest of the list and it was pretty much a check for every other one. The thing is, I think you’re trying to mix two sub-classes of the genders: Wanna-be hipster whiteys (probably me): the ones that read The Onion, watch Conchords, Silverman, etc. Us Wanna-be’s would never like the top-ten white-people rap songs though and a number of other things that are more appealing to the Red-neck whitey. So you might want to sub-cat these posts that way you have more that can relate to one category. Also – remove that Douchebag that made the 347th comment.

I believe in rainbows and puppy dogs and fairy tales.

And I believe in the family – Mom and Dad and Grandma.. and Uncle Tom, who waves his penis.

And I believe 8 of the 10 Commandments.

And I believe in going to church every Sunday, unless there’s a game on.

And I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, wholesome and natural things.. that money can buy.

And I believe it’s derogatory to refer to a woman’s breasts as “boobs”, “jugs”, “winnebagos” or “golden bozos”.. and that you should only refer to them as “hooters”.

And I believe you should put a woman on a pedestal.. high enough so you can look up her dress.

And I believe in equality, equality for everyone.. no matter how stupid they are, or how much better I am than they are.

And, people say I’m crazy for believing this, but I believe that robots are stealing my luggage.

And I believe I made a mistake when I bought a 30-story 1-bedroom apartment.

And I believe that George W. Bush can make this country what it once was – an arctic region covered with ice.

And, lastly, I believe that of all the evils on this earth, there is nothing worse than the music you’re listening to right now. That’s what I believe.

Cultured white people who like to slum as suburban yuppies and uncultured white people who like to have pretentions of culture like P.D.Q. Bach. Exposure to this artist typically occurs during High School, typically in advanced choir classes (which all white kids take so that they go on to be on American Idol some day). Later in life, this can be pointed to as part of the “Bad Memories of High School”.

Use of the name P.D.Q. Bach will generally be met with dismay by those not in the know. Those who know will attempt disavow or hide their knowledge unless they use it to change the topic to “Bad Memories of High School.” However, your understanding of this satirist will show those who understand that you are truly advanced and cultured.

Ok, so all white people are rich? Is what your pretty much saying. Actually most WHITE people can’t afford to go to college, we dont get free education. I have never met a white person who gives much of a shit about what t-shirt they have on. Oh but I do know white people who cannot get medicaid or food stamps because they make too much, which means they make just barley enough to get by, but someone from another race who makes the same amount sure as hell can. You obviously dont know any white people. You also obviously watch to much tv. One thing white people definitly dont do is sit around and talk and worry about what other races are doing. We have are own lives. So why dont you go out and get one of your own. Oh and next time you want to bitch about how much easier it is for us white folk, go out and research how hard it is to get financial aid if your white, or welfare if your white, or free medical care if your white. Trust me, we dont have it any easier than you do. You are an ignorant piece of shit!!

You don’t see anything like living in huts or attacking each other with machetes or killing for someone’s basketball shoes, or wearing a sari…yet why is this stuff presented with such a bad attitude on the write-ups?

Stan Freeberg is lower o the list since, while his songs in “Stan Freeberg Modestly Presents “The History of The United States ” Part One: The Early Years” and some other originals is almost ias well known for “Eldery Man River”.

I will add Tom Paxton since many of his topical song ranging from ” I Am Cahnging My Name to Chrystler” (protesting the bailout) to “It’s Only a Game” (Rubiks Cube) are very funny.

Your comments aren’t entirely true, why I have some white friends and they aren’t like this at all, and actually dislike soem the more “southern” style comedians that you might call “white trash”. If you’ve takn notice, the media plants these ideas into your mind anyhow, by telling you what’s right or wrong, good or bad, funny or sad, they can start to dictate precicely what your buying paterns are or will be. If you believe that your race is white trash, then you will behave, buy and succomb to the perceptual patterns or your varied perceptions of what you think “white trash” people should behave like, just as you were taught by the media. This is natural truth that is inescapable; only through knowledge and self awareness can you begin to break this shakel. Unfortunetly, denile and the herding instinct prevents a full follow through of this process. Also, media is very smart and they are continually changing the attack angle’s so that your subconscience cannot recognize or fully address the hyper-awareness factors affecting to surrounding stimulous balance.

Good point.

But what about indie music? You don’t see FOC making fun of it, this is especially odd since everyone in the audience – being white people – would get the cultural reference.

My point being, that white culture increasingly feels the need to attack the mainstream and the mainstream’s appropriation of black culture (e.g. Ali G) but sees very little need to provide a critique of its own culture. Though to be fair to Flight of the Conchords, it mocks mainstream culture in a very gentle way.

I am in favor of songs that mock every single demographic on the planet. In order to keep it fair. I mean, I’m a liberal jew. I think some of us should start a band that mocks every demographic just to keep it fair. Now that’s going to be a lot of songs….one for every culture… but it could be the “World Mockery Rockband” with one song for every day of the year until we’ve covered every demographic.

I sing. Now I’m just looking for a guitarist, drummer and pianist. Oh yeah, morroccas are fine too.

3. Neighborhoods with no sidewalks.

11. Pregnant white teenagers (not the other kind of pregnant teenager)
12. African immigrants (if they follow the right religion) as examples of industriousness and modesty.
13. Federal funding—from another region’s tax base.
14. Shopping centers that are less than 3 years old.
15. One-piece underwear (in Utah, mostly)
16. Gear that requires custom trailers
17. Trampolines
18. Race (not that kind, I’m talking about the Kentucky Derby, Daytona 500, etc)
19. Rude staring.
20. Pronouncing “One nation under God” as “One nationunder God”

22. Softball
23. The Celtics (the team and borrowed Scottish pride)
24. Cherry-picking MLK quotes about hard work

I love Flight of the Conchords! I’m not white but after I watched the first season I genuinely wanted to study abroad (#72) in New Zealand. To be fair, I’m going to be a pre-vet major and there are a whole of alotta sheep in New Zealand.

Can play the guitar should be changed to think they can play the guitar but are in fact terrible. They will most likely tell you about heartfelt and profound songs they have written. DO NOT ask to hear them, because they are most certainly terrible.

The problem with musical comedy is personified by the Barenaked Ladies, who started out doing musical comedy and as they got older, graduated to humourless leftism, just because they felt that they “needed to grow”. Unfortunately, they’re all brilliant musicians, so you can’t hate them completely.

Bleh, I guess I fall to the other side of the white spectrum with this one. I can’t stand singing comedians, myself. Aside from Sarah Silverman and Stephen Lynch, whenever I see a stand up comedian with a guitar next to them, I usually just change the channel. I mean, I came to hear jokes. Stop beating around the bush with your crappy songs and just throw me some punchlines and anecdotes already!

“Moshe Rabeynu” didn’t speak a word of Yiddish, I can assure you, and your post has pretentions to humor, but falls short of it because of its overbearing emphasis on being crass.

Making fun of Judaism (but not being Anti-Semitic) would sure make a great addition to the List of Stuff White People Like, don’t you think?

AN UPDATED TREATISE ON THE NEED FOR A SEMITIC MODERN MASTURBATION MENTALITY

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS MUST BE INCULCATED AS TO THE BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION IN THE ATTAINMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A HEALTHY MIND AND A HEALTHY BODY! PENT UP SEXUAL FRUSTRATION IN CHILDREN HAS NEVER BEEN HONESTLY AND ADEQUATELY DISCUSSED AND DEALT WITH IN JEWISH DISCOURSE AND DOCTRINE. HISTORICALLY, JEWISH PARENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COPE WITH THEIR MASTURBATING CHILDREN BY ASSERTIONS THAT GOD IS OFFENDED BY THEIR ENGAGING IN THIS ACTIVITY AND THAT HE VEHEMENTLY FORBIDS THEM THE RESULTANT RELIEF AND COMFORT. HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE STARTED ON THE ROAD TO ATHEISM OR APOSTASY DUE TO THEIR PARENTS’ GROSS OVER-REACTION TO THEIR HARMLESS CHILDHOOD WANKERY? THE SCENARIO OF JEWISH PARENTS MOANING AND GROANING AND HARANGUING THEIR FRIGHTENED CHILDREN WITH THREATS OF GOD’S WRATH FOR MASTURBATING IS COMICAL AND TRAGIC AT THE SAME TIME. THEY MIGHT AS WELL TELL THEIR CHILDREN THAT GOD DOES NOT CONDONE THEIR SCRATCHING THEIR LITTLE ASSES IF THEY HAVE AN ITCH.
MODERN LIFESTYLES AFFORD INDIVIDUALS THE PRIVACY AND HYGIENIC FACILITIES NECESSARY TO MASTURBATE IN A PRIVATE, DIGNIFIED AND SANITARY MANNER. ONE CAN WELL UNDERSTAND THE IRE THAT WAS AROUSED BY MASTURBATING INDIVIDUALS FOUR THOUSAND YEARS AGO WHEN AN ENTIRE LARGE FAMILY LIVED TOGETHER IN A TENT IN AN ARID LOCATION. NOBODY WANTED TO HAVE A WAD OF FLYING JISSUM HIT HIM IN THE EYE OR LAND IN HIS HUMUS.

SCHOLARSHIP LEVELS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY WITH THE RELEASE OF PENT UP ADOLESCENT EJACULATORY TENSION. .WHAT PARENT HASN’T FRETTED AND WORRIED OVER THE MOODINESS AND SURLINESS OF HIS ADOLESCENT OFFSPRING? THERE IS REALLY NO MYSTERY AS TO WHY THE LITTLE BASTARDS ARE ACTING OUT SO WILDLY. THEIR HORMONES ARE CAUSING THEM HIGH LEVELS OF DISCOMFORT AND FRUSTRATION. INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM MASTURBATE FURTIVELY UNDER THE BEDCOVERS IN A NIGHTLY GUILT- RIDDEN FRENZY OF PENT-UP SEXUAL DESIRE, THEY SHOULD BE GUIDED TO A CIVILIZED AND GUILT-FREE MASTURBATORY REGIMEN. IF NECESSARY, PARENTS SHOULD SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN AS TO THE PROPER METHODOLOGY FOR THIS ACTIVITY AND FOLLOW UP AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE MASTURBATING REGULARLY AT AN OPTIMUM FREQUENCY. KEEPING A MASTURBATION DIARY COULD BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL IN MAINTAINING THE PROPER SCHEDULE. EVERY PARENT SHOULD ASK HIS CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS, “DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND MASTURBATE TODAY?”
OH, OF COURSE, THE CHABADNIKS AND THE FRUMNIKS AND THE HAREDINIKS WILL YELL OUT, “BUT RAMBAM SAID THIS, AND RASHI SAID THAT AND RABBI AKIVA SAID THIS, AND THAT, ABOUT THE EVILS OF MASTURBATION.” PROBABLY ALL THREE OF THEM WERE MASTURBATING WHILE THEY WERE WRITING THESE STRICTURES, ANOTHER CASE OF “DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO”. WE MUST NOT CONTINUE TO LET OTHERS DO OUR THINKING FOR US UNDER THE GUISE OF DIVINE REVELATION AND RELIGIOUS EXPERTISE. WE CANNOT LET BACKWARD LOOKING ZEALOTS WITH THEIR ARCHAIC, OUTDATED AND ANACHRONISTIC MORALISTIC MISCONCEPTIONS CAST THEIR PALL OVER THE HEALTH-CONSCIOUS MASTURBATORS OF THE WORLD. WHAT WAS LOOKED UPON AS A SHONDER FOUR THOUSAND YEARS AGO BY UNENLIGHTENED MENTALITIES SHOULD NOT BE SO DENIGRATED IN THESE MODERN TIMES. THE BLESSINGS OF MASTURBATORY RELIEF SHOULD BE LOOKED UPON AS THE BIRTHRIGHT OF ALL B’NEI ADAM. SHALOM AND ZEI GEZUNT!

“THE BALLAD OF THE GREAT OFFENDER”
Yes, I’m the great offender!
Offending is what I do well.
I won’t play your games
I’ll kick ass and take names
and give all you bullshitters hell.

Oh yes, I’m the great offender!
Searching the web far and wide.
When I find things not true,
I shout out “F-you!”
And the liars all run away and hide.

I sit by my screen
I’m so vicious and mean
Telling it just as it is!
All the bullshitters moan
And plead “let me alone”
And I say “here’s my ass to kiss!”

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yesss, I’m the great offender!
Just doing what needs to be done.
You bullshitters out there
Had all best be aware
That breaking your balls is great fun…

I’m white and I never saw the appeal in any of these groups. I find it hilarious, and my lily white coworkers always ask me if I ever listened to or have seen Flight of the Concords. I can’t take them seriously, and just the name alone makes me think of one of those live action bobble headed puppet movies from back in the day. LOL! Those same folks are also into bottled water, netflix, arrested development, mad men, organics, and just about everything else on the list. Hell, even I like a few things on the list.

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.)

I love Flight of the Conchords (and, for what it’s worth, they actually do parody serious topics, such as sweatshop labor). But I disliked Tenacious D, absolutely detest Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch, and didn’t even know Leary had attempted this genre. Where does that leave me?

And you’re putting Weird Al into this group? That’s a bit of a stretch.

For your wallet’s sake, I hope this lame blog stretches as far as your lame archetypes. But eventually you’ll have to find a new venue in which you can project your own self-consciousness onto blanket categories.

Musical comedies are BIG with white people, let me tell ya! Sing and make jokes, but no blackface minstrel shows or Jewish shtetl schtick of yiddisha love. This is too nice, but if it’s only white people around in the audience. The original musical comedies involve discussions about racial/ethnic groups and catchy tunes “I like Chinese” or “I hate the French (Frange)” from BBC-TV’s Monty Python of the ’70s. +
on August 14, 2009 at 6:10 pm Michael

I have Adam Sandler’s audio cassette from the album ‘what the hell happened to me’, one of his many musical comedies from the late ’90’s. Now he’s funny…and don’t forget Colin Quinn’s “Irish Kings of Brooklyn” rap from the early ’90s.+

Have fun with talking about racism, homosexuality, poverty, class disparity, drug addiction and misogyny. It’s what white folk should love…except they brag “it’s not funny, that’s hate.” C’mon, it’s only a play…and now that’s comedy. xD

I think the posts in your blog are beyond ridiculous. I like many of those things and I’m black. I also come from a country where the majority of the people are of some African descent, which includes many of my friends who like singing comedians and much of that stuff you had mentioned. You’re obviously not very exposed, and I bet you’re one of those people who seem to think that everyone darker than a certain shade must listen to hip hop, soul and rap, live in a ghetto, speak in broken English, love junk food, is promiscuous and the works. Well done…You’re a liability to the evolution of the human race.
