How the Sh1t is What did the Fox say is so popular?

It has a quarter BILLION views despite being a dumb song. Its even dumber than your typical pop songs.

Is the popularity a testament to the hoplessness of todays youth?

I can understand how Gungnam Style became so popular (Asian dude, 'catchy electronic beat', weird music video)

But what the actual fck are people letting pass as entertainment these days?

Q: Are we not men?

A: We are DEVO!

That about sums up the human race.

Update:

Comedians eh?

The song being bland is explained if this song is meant to be a comedic parody of modern pop music but;

That still doesnt explain why it has a quarter billion views!?!?!

    Because it is stupid. I watched it for the first time today and my conclusion is that people laugh at it and it spreads through social media. It is utterly retarded and that is the draw. I doubt (and hope) people actually put the song on their MP3 players. I agree with you that it is quite dumb even by pop standards.

    Because it's catchy pop music. Simple as that, really.
