Yeah Mark didn’t seem too amused when he asks Tom to show the camera a guitar lick and Tom just starts licking his lips. Wasn’t it also that Japan tour where Mark had to tell Tom on stage to stop talking and get on with the song?

You guys really overanalyze too much

What are you talkung about? The fact that Mark didn't laugh at every single Tom joke is irrefutable proof he'll never let Tom back in the blink ever again.

This is honestly one of the best blink videos i've watched in a decade.  Please Mark do more of these!  Such a good era of my childhood and to now have Mark Hoppus damm near be Blink-182 Morgan Freeman and narrate those moments is beyond fucking awesome!  I want more!

Vegans literally can't laugh because they don't develop enough dopamine in their system.

Pretty sure Mark isn’t vegan anymore. I remember on a Instagram live he did a while back he said he eats cheese.

i think tom's funny joke ratio might be 1 out of 40 maybe

that's because the stage banter has been pretty scripted since 1999. tom was actually quite funny once.

Tom's still 4/10 for me with the jokes, Mark's about 0.5/10 average right now..just saying.

Obviously both were comedic gold in the heyday

Yeah, I dunno if anyone really tunes in to them for the humor anymore, it was never my main selling point for them (though shit, rewatching Album Launch definitely does bring back a lot of great memories).

So there’s this viral video of some dude covering semi charmed life as if it was written by blink-182...and I don’t get it. It sounds nothing like blink. It sounds like the shitty pop punk genre that arose after blink in the mid 2000s.

Yeah, I heard that too. It was posted a couple of days ago on these boards but I heard it and the vocal melody is the typical generic pop punk trash from 2005 and onwards. Sounds more similar to the likes of Neck Deep or whatever.

I've never heard one single song with that "What If blink wrote this" gimmick actually sound like blink.

Yeah I don't get that one however the same guy does country versions of pop punk stuff and they're hilariously on point.

It's the same thing as when anyone covers a blink song and labels it "tom voice" or something. all the commenters act like saying "toime" makes you a genius who sounds exactly like Tom haha. The bar is very low for most listeners apparently

I always imagine these kinda songs to sound a lot more experimental if blink did covers of them or wrote them anyway. If these YouTube guys did a "what if blink wrote this" thing for the Cure's A Letter to Elise, then it's sound like generic pop punk trash still.

Blink covered that song and made it entirely their own. If blink wrote it, it doesn't mean it's gonna sound pop punk. It's probably gonna have flanger effects and all that shit in it (especially if you're thinking of blink with Tom).

btw someone commented elsewhere that mark’s story in the video totally explains his reaction to tom during the 2003 festival (bayfest?) where tom is riffing during the bridge of rock show and mark’s like “that’s enough”. mark says in the twitch stream that he was super nervous during that gig because cheap trick were watching from the side of the stage lol

Oh nice! I must've missed it when they mentioned the show/that's enough bit. I remember the Cheap Trick part though. Hmm. Very cool! CT was one of my first shows...well, technically maybe not. May have even been AFTER I saw Blink!...it was still early on though. Hmm...i seem to recall I may have been asked to get written up for a newspaper article about it because of my enthusiasm. Lol The funny thing was, I didn't know a lot of the songs, but it was still fun. I dont recall reading about it though, so I think it was a local paper where the show was. Hmm, now I'm curious though. Will have to ask parents about that. Heheh yes, that was super fun when Surrender came on and I was there with my folks "Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird" :P

alright, that's enough. Oh Mark is just so adorable! Haha

Lmao I always wondered that! That moment has been dissected so much since the first breakup it's good to have an answer.

In case no ones seen what I'm talking about.

I fucking hate country music but these country versions do make me laugh, even if the rest of his content is shit.

Mark is watching the 2003 Untitled MTV launch doc live on Twitch for the first time and providing commentary, so rad!
