One of my favorite moments is when JF tells about a story that happened in I believe 2004; he was stopped at a stoplight on the road, a car pulls up next to him that has a New Jersey license plate that reads “TMBG” on it. So John starts knocking on the window and tries to say hi. Turns out it’s just an old lady that hadn’t heard of They Might Be Giants before (license plate was just a coincidence) and then she screamed out of fear and stomped on the gas

The beauty of being overweight. If you have more fat in your face, then when you begin to naturally lose it (which causes the sunken, wrinkled appearance associated with age,) it's not as obvious, and you look younger.

0:54 When Flans hit you with that wo wo wow wow 🤩 😍 😋

One of my favorite TMBG moments is in the "You Probably Get That a Lot" music video when John just stops singing and looks at everyone else jamming out with a slight judgemental look on his face.

For the life of me, I can't understand why this band isn't more popular than they are.

I just saw them in concert recently and my favorite thing is their banter during the show it’s amazing, I miss them so much so I’m watching these videos for my happiness

My favorite TMBG moment has to be that whole live performance of Till My Head Falls Off where Flans holds his guitar right up the the vocal mic, walks across the set to go turn the amp way up in the middle of the song, and breaks all his guitar strings off at the end, all completely deadpan

Man I didn't even know there was a tmbg fanbase this is amazing-

Just saw them on Friday, and one of the highlights was Flansberg talking up this new pedal he got for his guitar where it plays like a synth. He went on for like 2 minutes about how the band would play quiet and he would play over it with the new guitar synth sound, and how his mom loved it. Then the song they played was Minimum Wage, which is like 20 seconds long and has Flans playing like 2 notes lol.

This fandom is my safe space

..."as you turn around to look he's gone behind you on his face he's wearing your confused expression, where your eyes don't go." This line explains life perfectly!

0:06 I've noticed that Linnell does this a lot when he's not playing an instrument. I find it both endearing and slightly strange.

So not only are they insanely talented and creative, they're hilarious too? Man, I love John and John of they might be giants

My exact response to when someone asks me… “so how’s life treating ya?” 4:04

why does jl looks like he can be jermas dad 😭

god I have so many questions after watching this 10/10 video, they might be giants is the band ever

audibly laughed throughout the whole thing. nice job cutting scene at just the right time

That Flood promotional video felt like a Whose Line is it Anyway sketch. I mean that in the best way possible.

Every 60 seconds, a wooden floor is hit with a big stick many times by a guy named John.

You should have shown the one from the computer assistant design song intro where Flansburgh is playing this videogame (I don’t know the exact title of it) where his stats end up in winning 5000-6000 warlock skull power rings

reminder that he plays the character "Computer" from Xavier Renegade Angel

this video is so good thank you so much ill watch ituntil i die then more

I always wonder if rock gyro trip is referencing that the food gyro (which is pronounced similar to hero) is spelled the same as gyro (as in gyroscope) or if it's some other thing

Could also have included the whole performance of Birdhouse from the Tonight Show.
