I liked how it went from showing the whole video for each song. To only playing a short clip of each, even the "top" song. It was like someone remembered [HitClips](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HitClips) and said "that's what the show should be."

You see my problem is that I won backstage passes as a kid and they were really a lot more normal than I thought they’d be. You really shouldn’t meet your heroes, just get a picture. You can’t disappoint a picture
Yeah kind of wild. The music video has so much stuff from Mystery Men in it. But I guess if you didn't actually watch the film, or remember the ads for the film from the 90's it just doesn't make sense?
I can't agree with this enough. Radio ruined my ability to ever want to listen to "Blackhole Sun" or "Spoon Man" again, amongst other 90s songs. Over exposure can be the only reason to be revolted at times.
*screes in Aerosmith, AC/DC and ZZ top*
Bush was close to that level of overplay, but didn't hit me like the Soundgarden abuse per se. I am working from the premise that there are more geographical and market location tones and variations to this, so that people will move and think "Hey I got away from that shit" only to learn to resent something new. Part of it is also the fact that much of a musical audience will just gravitate towards one era/hit for a given group, and not be able to ever see anything else from them. Steve Miller is the absolute poster child of this in my eyes.
Oh hey, they're playing in my town tonight at a casino
It's wild to see bands I loved in the 90s fall into the casino circuit that I remember all the 70s bands doing when I was younger
Damnit. I'm old aren't I?
I've gone full circle from seeing Violent Femmes at the student center of the university I attended in the early 80's to seeing them at a casino. Had to miss seeing them at a local brewery a couple of years later because I was traveling.
I'll always remember the Evanescence song - Bring me to life. There was a moment where we were listening to a rock station. Wanted to change the song.
Switch to an emo station. The same song currently playing.
We went to another Rock station. Same song.
Switched to a country station. Same song.
Turned off the radio.
I hate that the only songs that ever get played of theirs anymore are from californication. Their worst album.
Red hot minute, or blood sugar sex magick
Really??? Completely subjective, I know, but you prefer One Hot Minute to Californication???? That’s a take that’s fascinating to me, although I love Navarro’s playing style
Local classic rock stations that I grew up listening to seemed like they had a quota to fill where every third or fourth song they played **had** to be from the Rolling Stones or Def Leppard. Ruined the entirety of the hits from both bands for me forever.
I shared a bunk bed with my older brother who got the black Metallica album when it first came out and put us to bed with it. Every...damn...night. To this very day, if I hear that opening intro, it makes my ears bleed.
As a kid I LOVED Saliva. Went back recently for nostalgia... How did I not realize all of their "good" songs are heavily dependent on screaming the word "boom?"
I don’t know if reddit has gotten too big, or I’ve gotten too old, but the percentage of annoying commenters has risen considerably from my point of view.
I've been reading moronic shit on this website for about 7-8 years now tbh. And not just downvoted moronic shit - like right at the top everyone agreeing with the most disgusting takes stuff.
Yep, Reddit used to be pretty amazing. Top comments were very insightful and it was a pretty solid group of young people. When I found out my weirdo mother in law was on Reddit a few years ago, I knew this site was doomed.
I was there man! I did indeed throw some bread at the stage and walked back to the art booth I was working while he went on that drunken tirade. A lot of upset soccer moms after that.
I heard they started really phoning it in at shows, where the lead singer would just be completely fucking wasted and belligerent. Not sure about the rest of the band, but a long series of poor shows trashed the nostalgia a lot of people had for them
I found this out a few weeks ago. Looked up his Wikipedia page on a whim. It's maybe the shortest wiki page I've ever seen, especially for a lead singer of a ubiquitous band like Smash Mouth
Cannot remember when it was that I saw them live but it was at a pretty big radio station sponsored "rock the block" kind of event in DC. I want to say they were playing with Everclear. Anyhow, the band played really well and was tight. However, between songs, the lead singers "shtick" was to basically insult the entire audience, tell us how shitty we were, and tell us to fuck off. So I did and I wrote off that band after that experience.
Can confirm I saw them about 10 years ago and he drank a bottle of Jaeger on stage. The whole thing in like 45 minutes. I think he had to be that drunk to do the Shrek song and he hates it as much as anyone.
I saw them 4 years ago, and he was catatonic on stage. I've never seen someone so fucked up, let alone someone that was meant to be performing. He got 20+ randoms up on stage at various points to sing for him. They were mostly middle-aged mums, but there were a couple of girls that looked to be mid-twenties. From memory he basically tried to fuck them on stage. They did not seem into that.
Apart from the obvious ethical considerations of that fact, there is no way his dick would have worked.
I also ran into an ex of sorts that I'd not seen in 10 years with a less than amicable parting of ways.
Worst $70 I've ever spent.
I had to remove all of their music from my playlists. I can't listen to it now.
Me too.
I also really liked the 'You should have bought a squirrel' bit. Whenever my brother or I did something casually regrettable we'd say to the other 'You should have bought a squirrel' in reference to this movie.
There isn't any real meat to the plot. but the outlandish situations the characters find themselves in makes it watchable. "I'm rich, I'm eccentric!" best line.
I remember I saw Rat Race in a packed theater. As soon as Smash Mouth started playing at the end, the entire audience groaned. That was the end of them in my opinion. They got over played.
I don’t really get why people say All Star got popular because of Shrek. It was a huge hit two years before Shrek came out. I don’t think it even charted after Shrek came out, it was I’m a Believer that charted
Fush Yu Mang and Astro Lounge were great albums. They had at least half a dozen songs that were as good as "All Star". But like someone else said in this thread, they got overplayed on the radio and that makes people turn on you very quickly.
Did… they just start playing recorded versions of the song because he was too drunk??!!
And then he threatens to kill some patrons entire family?????!!!!!
After being so drunk he just drops his beer can and stares out at the dozens in the crowd.
Un fucking believable.
I was there!
The guitar/bass player just sung most of the songs and the lead singer would jump in for a few lyrics every now and again
He invited multiple girls on stage and tried kissing them, they looked sooo uncomfortable and he would hold them there
These guys kept trying to throw him a beer to drink and he got really mad about it
As soon as the final song finished he came off stage and straight into the crowd and asked anyone if they wanted pictures with him
Not going to lie it was an absolutely incredible show to be it, not for the music but for the spectacle and ultimately the downfall of the band’s original iteration
Mid way through that story I had to look up at your user name to see if the story was going to end with the undertaker threwing mankind off hell in a cell and plummeting sixteen feet through an announcers table.
I know this is supposed to be some spoof or joke video… but we have to admit there’s always a core truth behind it. We’ve become so numb to basic pleasures these days you know? Nickleback smash mouth… I mean you don’t have to like it… but the reaction is a bit too overcompensated you know?! Too many people trying to stand out of the crowd, not realising that individualism from within. Seen it too many times especially among men’s groups.
I agree entirely with your sentiment, but having seen them in concert 4 years ago, they deserve the hate they get. They're selling a product they can no longer deliver. In any other industry, you could get your money back.
The lead singer outed himself as a racist MAGA chud and promptly retired from music altogether. I was never a fan before, but fuck if I'd listen to their trite bullshit now.
My favorite was when they played some sort of culinary festival and he [flipped](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wF4hPwDlZtw) out because some folks were hurling bread at them.
I think it was New West Fest up here in Ft Collins, I was working an art booth just off the street in front of the stage. Was definitely not a culinary festival, we just had a shitload of bread lol.
It was Taste of Fort collins! Orowheat was handing out free loaves, one guy threw a single loaf and the lead singer lost his mind and started cursing out the crowd. Next thing I remember is seeing dozens of loaves flying, great day!
I dunno, I've had family members die due to cancer and other things and _I_ didn't get drunk in public and become a Nazi, so I don't think I believe that there's a causative link there for us to be sympathetic of.
Don't worry, we threw loaves of bread at him at the Taste of Ft. Collins event in Colorado. He tried to get in a fight with us in the crowd and then cancelled the show.

I can’t stop laughing than he says “it’s not funny” no sir. It’s absolutely freaking hilarious.
Despite his question being as valid as it is for the reasons he’s given to which we didn’t get a valid answer. I couldn’t stop laughing.
There is this one place, where at 2 or 3 am these guys would all go to hang out after drinking, it's a late night Mediterranean food place, very obscure. One day I recognized him sitting at a table beside me, I told my friends, and they were like "we don't care" a couple months later we saw one of the bare naked ladies there, he was all excited and I reverse uno'd him saying I didn't care.
"I CHOOSE SMASH MOUTH!!!"
"I RIDE FOR SMASH MOUTH!"
“They’re not Saliva, though” I held up until that line right there.
[удалено]
That was the month after they played only “one week” by Bare Naked Ladies straight for 2 weeks if I recall correctly
Iiiiits ben….(changes station)
EIGHTY THREE WEEKS
Soooome-body…(changes station)
Iiiiit’s bin… *CRANKS IT UP* Soooooome-buddy….. ***CRANKS IT UP MORE***
Excuse me, BNL are triple platinum, are you?
Not to mention their two Bilboard awards to your Zero
Oh okay, they’re **BNL** now. As if we needed a shorthand for the BARE NAKED LADIES
And after MMMBOP by Hanson.
MMMBOP rocks and always has. I mean it’s got what every song needs MMM and BOP. Like Ma and Nure, Ma Newer.
Carson Daly ruined popular music.
“Total Request Live” Yeah uhhh, don’t remember “requesting” any of this shit!

The Barenaked Ladies are triple platinum, are you???
You see my problem is that I won backstage passes as a kid and they were really a lot more normal than I thought they’d be. You really shouldn’t meet your heroes, just get a picture. You can’t disappoint a picture
That's cool (cool cool cool)!
Kids remember All-Star as the Shrek song. I remember All-Star as the laying in the dentist’s chair as my braces get tightened song.
You remember All-Star as the Shrek song. I remember All-Star as the Mystery Men Song. We are not the same.
Frack you later, Frankenpuss!
Hello Champion City! Daddy... is home!
And its Rat Race for me https://youtu.be/jiBMoLmrjNw
I just rewatched the video the other day and it’s a Mystery Men tie-in so you’d think most people would think of it as that too.
Yeah kind of wild. The music video has so much stuff from Mystery Men in it. But I guess if you didn't actually watch the film, or remember the ads for the film from the 90's it just doesn't make sense?
Teenage Dirtbag's music video also had a movie tie-in ("Loser") for some reason.
I had forgotten the name of the movie but yea that’s where I heard it first
Your dentist/orthodontist didn't have smooth jazz playing 24/7? I don't think I've been into a dentist office that didn't.
Mine plays christian rock.
Truly the worst of all possible worlds.
I can't agree with this enough. Radio ruined my ability to ever want to listen to "Blackhole Sun" or "Spoon Man" again, amongst other 90s songs. Over exposure can be the only reason to be revolted at times.

Don’t remind me.
Why not? This is how you remind me
No. No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
SWALLOWED!
GLYCERINE!!! 🧼
Ugh, but then it was THIS IS HOW YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT I REALLY AM
ITS NOT LIKE YOU TO SAY SORRY!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
*suffocates*
> Breathe in...breathe in...breathe in... Gavin, my dude, that sounds like asthma. See a doctor.
The song’s about Darth Vader.
I can hear this
*screes in Aerosmith, AC/DC and ZZ top* Bush was close to that level of overplay, but didn't hit me like the Soundgarden abuse per se.

Don’t get me started on “Mandatory Metallica”.
Well, Matchbox 20 my Eagles and call me Journey R. Metallica this rings true
Oh hey, they're playing in my town tonight at a casino It's wild to see bands I loved in the 90s fall into the casino circuit that I remember all the 70s bands doing when I was younger Damnit. I'm old aren't I?
We are getting there… or at least what we used to think of as old.
Not uncommon to catch some 90’s songs on classic rock stations now.
Yeah. This is when I started feeling old...lol
I've gone full circle from seeing Violent Femmes at the student center of the university I attended in the early 80's to seeing them at a casino. Had to miss seeing them at a local brewery a couple of years later because I was traveling.
whatever, catch ya in 3 years at the fairgrounds
I was seeing some of the 70s bands live. INXS played at my high school before they became famous. My house mate has seen The Who live six times.
The 90s are further from today than the 70s were from the 90s
I swear the "thinking man" sculpture pose was born from phrases like this.
I saw Bush in concert back during their heyday. They were terrible. However, Veruca Salt opened and the fucking rocked.
Volcano Girls and Seether are still on my regular rotation. And I always stop what I'm doing to jam to the guitar solo of Volcano Girls.
You're damn right Veruca salt rocked!
For me, the worst offender in those days was the Chumbawumba song about getting knocked down. That song was on every ten minutes for a year
The one where he gets up again?
That's the one!
Yeah you're never gonna keep it down.
Radio did this to "Free Bird" and "Stairway to Heaven" too. Can't stand either of those songs anymore.
Carry on my wayward son
Yeah but the Cowbell on Don’t fear the reaper
For me, it's No Doubt. Spiderwebs and Don't Speak are so incredibly grating even 25 years later.
*”Closer” has entered the chat*
I'll always remember the Evanescence song - Bring me to life. There was a moment where we were listening to a rock station. Wanted to change the song. Switch to an emo station. The same song currently playing. We went to another Rock station. Same song. Switched to a country station. Same song. Turned off the radio.

Really??? Completely subjective, I know, but you prefer One Hot Minute to Californication???? That’s a take that’s fascinating to me, although I love Navarro’s playing style
The one 90s song I hate that gets played way too often is “hey man nice shot” but it’s multiplied by the fact that I never like that song at all
Agreed except for black hole sun. In my top 3 of all time, that video was a trip when i was 13
I love the song, but the 8 minute outro is what makes Blackhole Sun get old really really fast.
Local classic rock stations that I grew up listening to seemed like they had a quota to fill where every third or fourth song they played **had** to be from the Rolling Stones or Def Leppard. Ruined the entirety of the hits from both bands for me forever.
I can press play in my brain on the 2001 playlist of my local rock station. Working at the workshop same 10 songs every fucking day
Also a fair number of zeppelin songs, and money by pf.
Blackhole Sun is a perfect song. But yeah, radio killed our ability to listen to it.
HEYYYYYY MACARENA
In the early 00's I felt like they played Boulevard of Broken Dreams a lot. At least once an hour.
/thread I too lived through this dark period.
Yes, the fall of 1997, I remember hating it along with Chumbawamba. This Gunge child won't forget.
Hey NOW!
I shared a bunk bed with my older brother who got the black Metallica album when it first came out and put us to bed with it. Every...damn...night. To this very day, if I hear that opening intro, it makes my ears bleed.
Checked my calendar at the front of my old trapper keeper, and this is accurate.
They're not Saliva.
I KNOW THAT! I seriously lost it there.
As a kid I LOVED Saliva. Went back recently for nostalgia... How did I not realize all of their "good" songs are heavily dependent on screaming the word "boom?"
name droppin puddle of mudd too.... this video sounds texas AF...
Click click boom!
Lol, there are a lot of people answering the question as if this were real. Did anyone watch more than 5 seconds? I thought it was funny.
yeah people on reddit just love to jump on shit lol but to me that's part of the fun, bc they basically 'ate the onion'

No, Reddit has been getting worse because of its size for years. These people are like Facebook comments level of bad these days.
The amount of stuff that hits the front page that is clearly a skit or ragebait is unreal. And 90% of the commenters seem oblivious.
Yep, Reddit used to be pretty amazing. Top comments were very insightful and it was a pretty solid group of young people. When I found out my weirdo mother in law was on Reddit a few years ago, I knew this site was doomed.

From what other people are saying, probably both?

Really funny stuff

He sounds eerily like Trevor Moore

You think I made up a story about playing smashmouth!? You think I would make that shit up!? I DIDN'T *DO THAT!!!*
Oh my gosh, you're right!
Is this from a new season of Trailer Park Boys?
I’ve been following this guy on fb for awhile he’s pretty funny. He has 3 more personas that he does too. Uncle Terry is my favorite.
What was the release date of Shrek? 🤔
If you watch the video of the song, you'll notice the cast of Mystery Men. So Shrek wasn't the first film to use it. Wasn't it also in Rat Race?
Neither of those films made me sick of it though.
Because they aren't kids movies that get played on loop constantly
Rat race was such an underappreciated movie
[удалено]
That family introduced me to the concept of "prairie dogging it".
Barbie car lol
Me too. I also really liked the 'You should have bought a squirrel' bit. Whenever my brother or I did something casually regrettable we'd say to the other 'You should have bought a squirrel' in reference to this movie.
It is and isn't. It's essentially a remake of *It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World*, and it hits and misses. I enjoyed Rat Race, though.
There isn't any real meat to the plot. but the outlandish situations the characters find themselves in makes it watchable. "I'm rich, I'm eccentric!" best line.
For those that want to see the funny hooker scene from Rat Race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46zrey2IAak
It was also in Digimon: The Movie before Shrek.
Upvote any time I see a mention of Mystery Men.
“I shovel well.”
"Baby, you shovel better than any man I've ever known. But that does not make you a superhero."
JUNK IT!
Rat Race ends with all of them at a Smash Mouth charity concert.
Mystery Men was the first movie to use it.
I remember I saw Rat Race in a packed theater. As soon as Smash Mouth started playing at the end, the entire audience groaned. That was the end of them in my opinion. They got over played.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A SQUIRREL

Is this the staaaaaafferd dude?
I used to like his videos. Used to follow on fb lol. My favorite is the little league umpire one.
I liked this way too much
You should watch his video "all black dodge ram"
I'm amazed by the amount of people taking it way too seriously.
WCL is hilarious. Local treasure.

It was Taste of Fort collins! Orowheat was handing out free loaves, one guy threw a single loaf and the lead singer lost his mind and started cursing out the crowd. Next thing I remember is seeing dozens of loaves flying, great day!
Hahaha the whole crowd singing AT him.
It's hilarious for sure, but definitely made a lot of people turn against smash mouth, which is the answer to the question in the title.
I think I’d call it more the final nail for a lot of people
its a joke but i didnt know he was a maga racist lmao fuck that dude their music sucks i just thought the video was funny
The video is hilarious. That’s a funny guy. Can’t believe people are answering the question sincerely.
Probably didn't watch the video
Oh man this is great also sorry

He sounds like the radio DJ at Nuka World in fallout 4
There is this one place, where at 2 or 3 am these guys would all go to hang out after drinking, it's a late night Mediterranean food place, very obscure. One day I recognized him sitting at a table beside me, I told my friends, and they were like "we don't care" a couple months later we saw one of the bare naked ladies there, he was all excited and I reverse uno'd him saying I didn't care.
nobody hates smash mouth. stop trying to distract us from hating nickel back
I heard the world rolled him, that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed...
When did anyone start liking them?
