Love it!
Glad to see you are taking a break from the music videos!
June 11th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Haha, class. I love Gremlins. Well, Gremlins 2.
June 12th, 2008 at 12:04 am
You guys are awesome!
First comment!! Where’s the money?
June 12th, 2008 at 12:07 am
:D This is a good day.
June 12th, 2008 at 12:31 am
NEW favorite sketch
June 12th, 2008 at 12:34 am
it would be great if i could premarital sex with your entire cast
June 12th, 2008 at 12:35 am
have*
June 12th, 2008 at 12:55 am
It refuses to load for me…
June 12th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Haha testing the boundaries of a gremlin’s limits, I wonder about this kind of thing all the time. Just how much is too much, can it be quantified. I wonder if 39 watts would phase the mogwai
June 12th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Same here, Hipster. Even on SuperDeluxe, where it’s on the front page, the link is bad
June 12th, 2008 at 1:44 am
HAhaha nice. I really enjoyed this one. I thought the Mogwai would turn into a gremlin xD
June 12th, 2008 at 1:46 am
Awesome job guys! This was hilarious!
Reminds me of the old days when I put my Furby in the microwave…..priceless.
“He was REALLY Chinese!” Brilliant
June 12th, 2008 at 1:47 am
It’s playing now, and you guys are back on form, I love it! I’ve been a bit disappointed by some of your recent videos, but this one had me cracking up the entire time.
June 12th, 2008 at 3:26 am
Would have been better with a Mogwai soundtrack.
June 12th, 2008 at 7:51 am
Awwww, how cute! I got a Mogwai for Christmas and accidentally fed it after midnight. You know what the weird thing was? It caught on fire, too. Great sketch. I was waiting for it to be dunked in the bucket and turn into Caleb…
June 12th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Brilliant… as always, hahaha
brings back good memories, I love that movie
June 12th, 2008 at 9:10 am
OMG, those are the work of teh devil!
June 12th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Haha, i always wondered those same questions when i watched the Gremlins movies. Good to see that you stopped making music videos for at least one sketch.
June 12th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Great job guys. My favorite sketch in a while.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Ok, this one was great. You guys have kind of started getting overly mainstream lately, and I’m not some kind of obsessive purist or anything, but it was this kind of random humor that originally made me love OE. This was a really great return to your roots, and it reminded me of “Kidnapping”, one of my all-time favorites. Please make more of these, they were always really great up until… well, I might as well say it, Super Deluxe. Anyway, keep up the awesome work.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Scratch my eariler comment, I meant to say “Ransom”. “Kidnapped” was actually kind of disturbing.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
i love that dunking it in water is the first thing you think of.
June 12th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
hahaha, great vid, is that a new member of OE?
June 12th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Just to offer a contrasting opinion — I love the newer sketches, especially the music videos. “O’doul’s” may be my favorite sketch of all time. Jesse’s music is seriously amazing.
June 13th, 2008 at 3:11 am
I loved this one! I’m also impressed with the increasingly sophisticated animation.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
That was great.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Mogwai is adorable….
June 14th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Thank you for this! It reminds me a little of Playing Dead, in that you feel guilty to laugh at it, but it’s just so great that it shows you the humor even in a dark theme.
I’ve actually been really disappointed with a lot of your recent work, even some of the ones that weren’t music video themed. (Akon calls T-Pain actually drove me away for several weeks) But this, this is accessible and funny and NOT stupid. Please make more like this! I don’t mean exactly like it, but videos with more of a outlandish sensibility instead of a spoofing one.
Also, thanks for fixing the old quicktime videos on the site.
June 14th, 2008 at 3:17 am
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
I fucking love Mogwai, ESPECIALLY when they’re on fire!
You guys are the best.
June 14th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Great job guys, that was hilarious.
June 14th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
this is the best one in such a looooong time
June 14th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
My favorite line:
“I’m just gonna hold it out here until it gets acclimated to the planet it lives on.”
June 14th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
“The second Chinese guy in the basement rule is…”
“because again… this guy was really Chinese”
Awesome!
June 14th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Words can not describe how happy I am with this sketch.
June 14th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
FINALLY!
June 15th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
<3 this video. I felt bad for the Gremlin but I couldnt stop laughing at it :(
June 15th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
mogwai is actually chinese for ghost, evil spirit, demon, and/or devil
June 15th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Dear Old English,
I remember the pre-Super Deluxe days. They were glorious, and what’s better, funny. Please use any means necessary to return to that artistic Shangri La.
Thanks.
June 15th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
YES!! This was your greatest comeback! YAY!! (I admit the ending was a little dissapointing, though….what would’ve happened if he got wet?)
<3 your new sketches! ;D
June 16th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Awwwww, poor Gizmo!
June 17th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I feel like I’m a bad fan for being unwilling to incessantly bitch about how the sketches you all (OE) go out of your way to make aren’t exactly how I pictured them in my mind. And maybe even worse for not preferring them to be a certain style of “oldschool” or “non music video”. I feel like it’s inconsiderate of me to be so overall thankful that you even do produce videos and have been there over the years entertaining me, which would seemingly make up for any shortcomings you had in fulfilling my expectations on a particular video (none so far). I can’t seem to grasp the one great truth that the worth of OE through the ages is entirely manifest in whatever may be the most recent video. Had I criticism, I don’t know that I could sacrifice enough of the “constructive” element for the right excess of “scornful.” It’s apparently shameful to be so accepting.
Thanks OE, for what it’s worth
June 18th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Thanks guys! You’re a bunch of sweeties.
June 22nd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
“…I also got some slippers!”
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:23 pm
“He was really chinese”
“We gotta dunk this in water”
“Im just gonna hold it out here until it get’s acclimated or blinded”
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:24 pm
WTF soundmass
June 26th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
That was INCREDIBLE! Genius! Just- stop with the music videos, OK?
June 30th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Yay Dan Klein!!!
June 30th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Haha I see your a fan of Gremlins! Haha this has to be one of my favourites!
July 8th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
If you can’t play these videos try using internet explorer. thats what i have to do.
July 11th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Woah, I have one of those dolls! well, it was my sisters, but for all intents and purposes…it’s mine!
August 2nd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I LOVE U OE
Incidentally, I once had a best friend called Mogwai… but some stuff happened and one thing led to another and in the end I killed him…I dont know why I always have to kill everything I love anyways, U GUYS OWN
<3!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 8:50 am
I totally wondered why my Mogwai was kinda screwed up!
August 9th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
What’s the beer in this one? Are they drinkin’ O’Douls? Are you drinkin O’Douls? Mother F%^&a dont you touch my O’douls, noo
September 1st, 2008 at 1:35 am

keep up the great work
September 16th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Okay, just to be sure, can WE eat the MOGWAI after midnight?
