Somewhere along the line cartoons got a reputation as ideal entertainment for people who are stoned. Those of us who work in cartoons accept that. But even though we live in LA — a city that sells exotic, high-potency strains of marijuana in bulk bins at the organic supermarket, next to the yogurt pretzels — we aren’t big pot smokers ourselves. It’s not that we look down on it. We just don’t want to end up like the godforsaken couple in this music video. Remember the movie Once? Where the street busker guy falls in love with the angel-voiced girl, and together they make beautiful, life-affirming music that your mom listens to when she needs a pick-me-up? The couple in this video are the horrifying opposite of that. They’re giving out “Free Hugs.” The guy’s name is Bongo Bliss. Even drum circles have safeguards in place to keep people like this away. Get ready…
(Thanks, Jodi Faye!)

I get the distinct feeling that if either of these two were fed one more Kraft Mac & Cheese and Faygo dinner as a kid they’d have turned out juggalos.
If the idea was to make drugs seem uncool to kids, mission accomplished.
Also, isn’t “Comes from the earth/Earth can’t hurt” kind of an insensitive lyric considering the fact that Earth is still in the process of hurting like a ton of people in Japan?
Japan notwithstanding, I’ve always hated when people say that. The list of things that are natural and deadly is incredibly long…and deadly!
twss
Sharks. Arsenic. Poison Dart Frogs. Ebola. Mercury. Orcas.
That’s all of ‘em. Everything else is as natural and as safe as weed.
That new look isn’t agreeing with David Cross.
He has a terrible case of GVH.
Wait. I am supposed to stay alert with consciousness? Fuck. I’ve been staying alert with sleep THIS WHOLE TIME!
Give ‘em a break Mans. They were totally high when they wrote this.
I expect all of my music composed while high to be up to the level of “Bubble and Scrape.”
Doesn’t she have an middle school art class to teach?
This video has convinced me to quit smoking pot.*
*may not be true
I LOOOVE Weed, But I can not fucking stand stoners, and these hippie Wannabe White Rastafari are the worst, and they just about always make me want to vomit (Mostly because of that natty dread mon, nahamean)
Also pro-weed, anti-hippie. Bongos can go either way.
All I can think is “Duck Duck Goose…Duck Duck Goose”
twee indie cover here we come.
When I read the title, I was expecting more smanging. This video could do with more smanging.
“Man, I could go for some scattered, smothered, and smanged hash-browns from Waffle House right about now. I’m soooooooooo hungry.” –Hannah Field.
Despite their reassurances, I do believe the Earth can indeed hurt.
I’m worried about Ras Trent, you guys.
Yep. That sure is Portland.
I am grateful every second of every day that I left that place.
Also: “It grows from the earth; the earth can’t hurt”? Nettles and uranium also come from the earth.
This isn’t my favorite Hannah Field song. I like Fixy Fixy Ride and Brew Brew Organic better.
Poser. I’ve been a fan since Local-Source Tomato is Great-o.
A real wake up call for all you bogarts out there.
Finally, someone’s composed a song about pot.
Well done. I loled.
These guys would disapprove of this video.
Hannah Field’s = Rebecca Black
this gif should balance out the page
Point:
The Earth can’t hurt
Counterpoint:
you’re right…James Franco did come from the earth….and nothing but pain since.
At one point she sings, “It comes from the earth / the earth can’t hurt.”
Uh…foxglove?
Ugh. I just realized the comment above already touched on this point. Consider that comment a reply to hero squad’s comment. This comment should now be considered an apology within a reply. Things start to get really unstable at this layer.
FAST FORWARD SELECTAH!
That dude with the bongo looks a little like Steven Doofus. Seriously– replace Steven’s awkwardly broad shoulders with a goatee, dreads and horn-rimmed glasses and it’s not far off. He’s certainly got the exact right balding pattern and carefree method of peer pressure.
I’ve always favored legalization, but now I see a very good argument for keeping that shit illegal.
I didn’t think people acted like this past their first year of college.
Watching this will cause you to smoke pot, which in turn leads directly to shooting heroin. So don’t watch this, kids.
I do know my fair share of potheads. Marc Maron,Sarah Silverman,Jon Benjamin. Nameee Drrrrrrrrrrrrop Fridays
Puff Puff Give and Give to the cartels. Hello, it’s 2011! Maybe some hippie dancing with an AK-47 over some dead bodies in Juarez, Mexico. Maybe a burning body wrapped in tires. This is so dated. Lame. Ohh yeah, add some auto tuning to the vocals.
Production Notes: No animals were harmed in the making of this video. Tons of gay married guys were blown by Bongo Bliss in back alleys in order to fund this video.
This is incredibly cruel.
I bet when most people in America hear the name “Portland”, this is what pops up in their head. So, I can kind of understand why you all want to bomb our city into the stone age (that’s what people in middle America want to do, right?). Bin Laden probably saw a 1990s-version of this video and was like, “Fuck these guys, let’s fuck up their shit.” So I guess I understand him better now, too.
Nah. 46% of middle America thinks Portland is the same thing as Seattle, and 13% think it is San Francisco. You’re pretty safe.
It’s very surprise! I bought a brand bag from brandbagfactory.com. It is very valuable. I often purchases products from brandbagfactory.com I think it’s a good website. What you see is what you get!
