I remember in a survey course I took in college (that’s right, I’ve been to college!) about the comparative politics of communism, socialism, and fascism, that the professor suggested that for communism in its purest and most idealistic form to truly take root and succeed as a sociopolitical system, everyone in our small, slightly stuffy classroom would have to die. The point was that communism was completely at odds with capitalism in such a way that capitalists and anyone raised in a capitalist society would never truly be able to relinquish their stranglehold on their precious personal material wealth. It goes against everything that the capitalist system believes and encourages. In order to truly believe (and communism demands fierce belief) that we are all equal, participating members in a society built for the common good, it would demand entire generations of people raised in such a society, believing in it on base principle. And so, it could only be through the death of the capitalists that communism would achieve its true potential as a beneficent social structure.
Similarly, I don’t think we can ever move forward as a society until everyone who likes this video dies. Workers against Puddle of Mudd of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose. Literally. Nothing. You can even keep your ALICE IN CHAINS! (Ugh. Sorry.)

Needs more graveyard booty dancing.
That would be less confusing then the space theme.
Didn’t know these Limp Bizkit spawn we’re still sopping up gravy.
Can we get a razor for the lead? Seriously?
I was always wondering what happened to the guy from Soul Coughing. I guess he got some plastic surgery, grew his hair out, and started making really crappy and predictable music. (I’m saying this because there are moments when the singers voice sounds like the guy from Soul Coughing).
How dare you, sir? How. Dare. You.
Mike Doughty is living in a garbage can in Los Angeles right now. Not because he has to, but because he has shunned all material wealth. There, he sits and plays upright bass all day and tells passers by that St. Louise Is Listening.
Wrong again. He’s in Vermont. Well tonight anyway.
I like my story better.
Soul Coughing is waaaay too awesome to be compared to this puddle of douchery
YES! Hello fellow SC and Mike Doughty fan!
So despite receiving any sort of funding or professional backing, George Lucas is going ahead with Star Wars episode VII?
I seem to have missed the word “not”; “not receiving any sort of funding…” that makes more sense. I do that when I’m talking sometimes too, but it’s far easier to just ignore it when that happens.
We’re gonna need a bigger Event Horizon.
fake – that trailer never would have made it past the mesosphere!
“Alien Lifeform” = Woman = Perfect
I could get all sorts of space women too if I had a flying toaster screensaver spaceship.
“A long time ago, in a galaxy far a wasted…” That was enough for me, thank you!
The D’s in Puddle of Mudd are backwards because Puddle of Mudd doesn’t play by the rules. Rock and Roll, amirite? This band and this video fucking suck.
See, unlike Gabe, I haven’t been to college (we’re hoping my youngest brother finally gets out of this God forsaken town and goes), so I need some help here. Is “mud” really spelled “mudd”, and are the “d”s supposed to be backwards. I didn’t know that!
If you’re a hardcore, take no prisoners, life on the edge rock band you’re going to want to warp the spelling of your band name as far away from actual spelling while still making sense Like how Corn is Korn. The ‘K’ makes stupid people think it’s cooler than it is but it is still a vegetable.
I remember this band! Their video was on tv all the time when I was like 9. What an awful part of my childhood.
What are you now, like 14?
I guess, according to wiki “She Hates Me” came out in 2002 so I was actually 13. It was a rough estimate!
I’ve never know of anyone that estimates their age by the release year of Puddle of Mudd videos. Nice to meet you, Mandy. I’m Will
This video needs less Puddle of Mudd and more Real Estate.
I don?t know if Planet X really benefited from colonization and colorization.
Hey, Puddle of Mudd! Know why The Darkness makes videos? So you don’t have to.
…and I was just saying the other day “what happened to Puddle of Mudd”. (No I wasn’t saying this, and I’d never expect an answer to the question either.)
Raise your hand if you had no idea Puddle of Mudd still existed
I, for one, applaud Puddle of Mudd’s thematic callback to Harry Mudd’s profit-driven misogyny in the two Star Trek TOS episodes “Mudd’s Women” and “I, Mudd”. The capitalist-as-interstellar-pimp motif has been perfectly realized here, reflecting our patriarchal western culture’s primary desire for an ownership society existing unfettered within the space-and-spandex paradigm.
He has one of the most serious cases of rape eyes I’ve ever seen.
at first i thought you were saying that this video had given you a serious case of eye rape.
equally accurate.
Didn’t the Backstreet Boys do this already for Larger Than Life?
Tip: when your lyrics are the absolute worst (like 0 kelvin where cold=bad) don’t put your lyrics in giant space letters.
Well, I made it 39 seconds.
Also, I’d like to know: what came first, the shitty idea for the video, or the shitty song? Or was it some serendipitous collision of the two?
Did anyone make it to the end?
I only made it 6 seconds. That’s enough for me, thanks.
I went about 20.
So, guys riding in a spaceship that flies into a woman’s vagina is a metaphor for guys riding in a car that flies into a woman’s vagina, right?
Gabe, i feel like you weren’t listening in class. i’m pretty sure he was supposed to be teaching that Commies need to die. since you were in college during the McCarthy hearings.
I’m waiting for the Puddle of Mudd fans to show up and chide us for not watching the whole video, because if we didn’t see the whole thing right to the end then how could we make any judgment on the group, and if we’d only listen to this song and this song and this song and this song by them, then we’d see how great they were, oh and this song too, no? Then this one, then.
Zaphod Beeblebrox needs a new campaign manager. Puddle of MubackwardsDbackwardsD Galactic Presidents for life!
Wait a second? Hasn’t rock ‘n’ roll been about blasting through space and making sex with groupies since the beginning? I hope gets never get TOO far away from space sex with fetish groupies? Otherwise, why did I buy this guitar/amp startup kit at the mall!?
Hm, my fingers made my third sentence unreadable. I hope IT(rock ‘n’ roll) never GETS too far away from space sex with fetish groupies…
What would have made this video really great would have been a Totino’s Party Pizza cameo at about 2:18.
Oh good, someone already made the reference. It’s amazing what a little tongue in cheek can do for a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU
good memories, this video. I miss the mid-naughts already.
Are there really people who think of this as real music? I imagine they’re the same people who think of Sarah Palin as a real human being.
This video is one of the main reasons that the word “panties” is so revolting. Puddle of Muddddd dude makes me feel gross about owning and wearing underpants. Thanks, fuckface.
We can only hope that in space, no one can hear you guitar solo.
This is the main thing you should know Puddle of Mudd from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU0rwhPuoEQ
“Ahhh! Nooo, noo!”
This band’s oeuvre demonstrates the old adage that operatio esse sequitur.
good GOD that’s terrible! What a puddle of pooh! Where can we find people that like this video, besides those in the video? Finding the guilty parties and asking them what the F they were thinking is the first step in all this dying and communist talk. Understanding the diseased mind of the enemy is the key to our survival
1) Why are you posting videos that were, apparently, made in the 90s?
2) When did Puddle of Mudd stop being a secret Christian band?
3) When did Rob Thomas join Creed and then change the name to Puddle of Mudd?
So this is the new “Avatar” trailer, huh?
Looks like Tim Allen has been doing a lot of directing lately.
It looks like Puddle of Mudd bought their spaceship used off of Pearl Forrester, which is appropriate, since they also like to torture people with horrible videos.
