Wintergreen - When I Wake Up (Directed by Keith Schofield)

I remember being five years old and playing ET on my Uncle’s Atari. And, even at 5, I realized that game was like a kick to my only recently descended testicles. I was seriously like “What the fuck IS this shit? Fuck this, I’m going to go play with GI JOEs in the backyard and then drink some fucking Kool-Aid and shit because this game blows.”

If that random fact rocked your world, here’s some more:

- The lead singer of Wintergreen looks like a non-mongloid version of that hobbit bastard on “Lost”.

- This video details what is in fact a true story. Except the part where they actually find the games.

- Peanut butter = good. Chocolate = good. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups = good. Reese’s Pieces = ass. How is that possible?

So this video is odd in that it tells a true story about a video game company via a false story about a band. It’s not quite documentary, not quite mockumentary… I’m saying it’s psuedomentary. Actually, I’m not sure what Mr. Schofield was shooting for exactly, but apparently his idea was to think of two of the most boring yet unrelated things a human can possibly do and then film them. Hell yeah! I can’t wait to see what’s next! I heard he’s directing the first video from the Raconteurs and it’s going to have Jack White and Brendon Benson set up their printer for wireless networking and then pull some weeds in the backyard. Hot damn!

    I think this video is darling! But…no props for being the billionth band to rhyme “wake up” with “make up.”

    That was my favorite game and now this is my favorite video. “You mean we have unlimited punch, this party is going to be off the hook!” And by the way is Brenden Benson, not Brandon, Brandon is your boyfriend in Incubus.

    Jimmy, every video you have posted is focused on a guy in some way. Male singer or Male director. My inner psychologist says “hmm….”.

    The lead singer doesn’t look like the hobbit, he looks like ryan gosling, and ryan gosling = gooood looking

    …ET used to scare me. maybe it’s because my sisters used to torture me and say I was really an alien. I don’t know just a thought.

    Los, that’s like if I were a sports writer covering basketball and you complained I only wrote about black people. The joke doesn’t work the other way around. Don’t bite my shit and then fuck it up.

    “Why are you going to swap the coolers?” (When you finally finish Arrested Development Season 2, that will be funny).

    In my next video I’m going to incorpoate as much text from the IRS Publication L. 94-455, title V, Sec. 501(b)(1) as possible. That’ll keep ‘em interested!
