They Might Be Giants The Poisonousness Comments
  1. R.... W....

    This video is one step above macaroni necklace.

  2. T.... ....

    "Everybody stand up...dispose of the villainousness!"

  3. T.... ....

    I thought I was mishearing the "hand witch" part but no, I heard correctly. XD

  4. J.... ....

    Best song on Escape Team

  5. M.... O....

    Accidental Gravity Falls reference. Parallel thinking!

  6. T.... C....

    The first time I heard this song I knew it was going to be the closer on the Escape Team album.

  7. v.... f....

    I love how this song transitions from hopelessness to empowerment. It could apply to our accelerating environmental crises as well as to the contemporary toxic social climate enabled by social media (“these bubbles are disturbing”: social bubbles, methane bubbles). It’s so catchy and inspiring.

    v.... f....

    Don't forget about economic bubbles - that's a harvest cycle too.

  8. M.... C....

    is this song.... about ecological crisis ? i didnt know Toronto had a nuclear plant

    M.... C....

    You don't have to have a nuclear plant to have a nuclear blast. :)

    M.... C....

    @TwiPrime whot?

    M.... C....

    @Merida Coria I was just saying, a nuclear blast could mean a missile strike too.

  9. m.... m....

    Go, Go, Go for Goldie!

  10. H.... R....

    The more I listen to this song the more I think of the sham presidency and state of 2018 and how we can choose to dispose of this Poisonousness. Get out there and VOTE PEOPLE!

    H.... R....

    @Molybdenum Rose Cops are people too.

    Same as actual Nazis. If we use video pence against them we give them a legitimate reason to use violence themselves.

    H.... R....

    @Prism Volt Ah, of course. Everyone knows that cops and nazis need a legitimate reason to use violence.

    It's always good to remember that Hitler took power through entirely peaceful means. Kindhearted liberalism is simply not equipped to deal with fascism and white supremacy.

    H.... R....

    @Molybdenum Rose Who said anything about liberalism?

    Fascism and Nazism appeared thanks to WW1 and the imperial and capitalist failures of their respective societies.

    To then compare the massive Nazi nation-wide system that managed to wage war on innumerable fronts to the dogwhistling cowardly Cuckistanis of today is a false equivalence.

    Take a look a how well Andy Ngo's "beating" was received by the public. Did the truth or context matter? No. Did his political ideology matter? No.

    We exist in a time where there is no massive immediate threat of fascism and where optics are everything.

    H.... R....

    @Prism Volt Who said anything about kekistani proud boys? I said cops. I couldn't care less about 4channers. If you think there's no imminent threat of nazism when immigrants are currently dying in camps, immigrants who are being moved out of journalist-accessible spaces, then I guess you're kind of right. The threat has passed, we're already living in it.

    H.... R....

    @Molybdenum Rose You said cops, you also said Nazis.

    How is that working for you, huh? The bricking of cops in the face?

    Meanwhile, we have a 16 year old Nordic child who has managed ten thousand times the amount you have by using words.

    But fuck it, words are sometimes not enough, if you want to do direct action then why not try non-violent strategy, civil resistance?
    The optics are much, much better, the system still does not know how to deal with it and you don't need a "people's army" to carry it out.

    But hey, I'm sure these immigrants you're worried about appreciate it immensely when your futile attempts at social change end up with both you and them ostracised by the general public.

  11. D.... B....

    🙄😮Fascinating! "..Can't tell if we're going to survive this diet of lies!.." Upside-down world! 🌟💖

    D.... B....

    Deborah Bryant "Successful hand model," is that how one is a hand witch? 🤔😁🙃

    D.... B....

    Yup needs sayin, just sayin...
    @jedbeetle

  12. y.... ....

    NYE 2018/19 Can't wait!

  13. d.... i....

    We need more Goldie! How 'bout a Spondee reunion??

  14. d.... i....

    When it started, I thought TMBG were covering Steve Miller!! :-O

  15. c.... s....

    love Robin songs!!!!

  16. N.... O....

    I love this song

  17. L.... I....

    TMBG are a way of life

    L.... I....

    Haha!! I can't not read your nickname in Flans's voice!

  18. C.... R....

    Anyone shown this to Hal Rudnick? Woot woot!

  19. j.... c....

    H A N D W I T C H ! !

  20. B.... T....

    W O O T W O O T

  21. M.... T....

    Is "Hand Witch" supposed to be a reference to Gravity Falls?

    M.... T....

    That's what I thought! They've been writing songs about cartoons lately so I wouldn't put it past them. i love gravity falls!

    M.... T....

    It's part of their series of songs based on the characters of "The Escape Team", a comic by David Cowels (who does many videos for them), for the instant fan club.

  22. N.... D....

    There's a lot going on here. Some Laurie Anderson, a bit of Stereolab...anyone else hear anything else?

    N.... D....

    Not sure what you’re talking about, all I hear is good music here

    N.... D....

    Pretty sure I hear some Johns

    N.... D....

    Initially reminded me and another fan of the music from the Katamari video games. :D

  23. A.... S....

    I could but I will not. Sir Master.

  24. F.... t....

    I've been listening to this on the TMBG app since yesterday without realising it was a new release.

  25. K.... W....

    The point of view of this video is where I want my seat for the show. Gods. TMBG. Thank you. Not worthy! Is there an Atlanta or Athens, Ga show on this tour?

    K.... W....

    Oh man, an Athens show would be amazing!! 😲

  26. N.... O....

    ever since i saw the tweet of this i was looking foward to it

  27. R.... O....

    If Robin has joined the escape team I think we can all expect to get a song dedicated to her in the future

    R.... O....

    Whoops, this is an escape team song :l

  28. M.... S....

    This song is super cool. So is Robin. *thumbs up*

  29. T.... g....

    I can easily see this being the opener to the escape team album.

    T.... g....

    Or the closing song. It seems to tie up the themes that were more subtle in other songs.

    T.... g....

    I agree with Chris, I was thinking this would be the closer.

  30. D.... 7....

    Just a wacky TMBG reminder that it's gonna be all right.

  31. S.... O....

    Robin!!

  32. G.... ....

    "These bubbles are disturbing"
    Perhaps my favorite of the post ARNATQ songs. Except for Let Me Tell You About My Operation.

    G.... ....

    What's ARNATQ?

    G.... ....

    Album Raises New and Troubling Questions, Their 2011 rarities compilation.

  33. i.... t....

    Is that an Ayn Rand Handwitch?

  34. B.... S....

    Handwhich

  35. C.... K....

    Yay for Goldy!

  36. L.... C....

    Yo niblets

  37. t.... ....

    Goldie is pure and perfect

  38. C.... ....

    Okay. This is song is amazing. Nothing else to say. This better make it to an album...

    C.... ....

    It'll be on the Escape Team album, along with all the other Escape Team songs (like Jackie the Clipper, Corrupted Lyle and so forth).

    C.... ....

    It will be on The Escape Team album.

  39. m.... n....

    Three people with their thumbs in the wrong place (so far...)

  40. s.... ....

    Oh god, that video is makin me dizzy. Music's nice tho

  41. N.... M....

    Everyone keeps mentioning Escape Team, but can someone tell me what that is?

    N.... M....

    It's a side project collaboration with the comic artist David Cowles. He wrote a bunch of characters in an old 60s comic style and made a comic book about them. TMBG wrote a song for each of them. That's the whole story :)

    N.... M....

    TMBG have collaborated with a visual artist who created a comic book called the Escape Team and they have written songs for each character and most likely will be releasing some sort of project that accumulates all of their Escape Team related songs.

    N.... M....

    The Escape Team album comes out soon.

  42. C.... M....

    The power of the will! (Woot woot) 🙃

  43. S.... H....

    Gotta love Goldie!

  44. b.... ....

    just watched you play in vancouver, then i get to hear new frikkin music when i get home! i love you john and john! thank you!

    b.... ....

    John and John and Marty and Dan and Danny!!!! Hell yes! And Kurt! And Robin?

    b.... ....

    alas no robin

  45. A.... F....

    You know, I'm always happy when Toronto gets a mention... Even if it's promptly followed by a nuclear blast. See you on November 2nd!

  46. H.... R....

    I think Robin has graced us with her sweet sweet voice. It's good to be alive.

  47. F.... B....

    amazing song

  48. f.... ....

    Hmm, this year has kind of been a year of going back to the drum machine for the Johns

    f.... ....

    2011 was also such a year, to an extent.

  49. L.... W....

    That's not the same person that did some of the singing for the ABC album is it?

    L.... W....

    It's Flansburgh's wife, Robin Goldwasser.

    L.... W....

    Oh that's so cool.

  50. A.... S....

    Flansy really did learn how to sing like a girl

  51. B.... E....

    Reminds me of the Nelories' "Set Pure Ven" for some reason.

    B.... E....

    The 'life in Toronto...' part sounds like the chorus of that song

  52. P.... D....

    Woot woot!

  53. b.... ....

    This has gotta be one of my favorites from The Escape team so far. Right up there with Jackie the Clipper!

  54. K.... B....

    Oh yeah

  55. C.... ....

    I think I found my new ring tone...

  56. A.... B....

    wowee i love this so much already. (EDIT: ooh is this an escape team song? i heard it in there and it's capitalized in the lyrics!)

  57. A.... B....

    glad this wasn't trying to be uploaded while youtube was down an hour ago! that would've been a shame.

    A.... B....

    so THATS what was going on

  58. E.... ....

    Hi Johns
