Metalocalypse (2006–2013): Season 3, Episode 2 - TributeKlok - full transcript
Facing public scrutiny following brash statements made by Murderface at a press conference, Dethklok decides to lift their worldwide ban on Dethklok tribute bands. While exercising their right to approve or disapprove of any tribute act the band discovers that Toki has been posing as Skwisgaar in a tribute band called Thunderhorse. Trying to distance themselves from celebrity status and re-connect with normal people, Dethklok decides to join Thunderhorse.
The big news of the day...
Dethklok bailed out
of performing at the Michigan
"Metal Health" Alliance benefit
because as stated by
William Murderface,
"they weren't making
any money off of it."
But the real back lash
happened when Murderface,
representing Dethklok appeared
on a popular political
talk show.
Dethklok doesn't owe you
shit pal, or anybody else.
You need me to spell it out
for you fine, I will!
Hey, everybody in
the whole fuckin' world!
We're Dethklok!
And you can just suck our
krillionaire cock!
We can't afford to pay our
mortgages and Dethklok
is laughing at us!
Fuck them!
They've gotten too big,
they used to be one of us!

Fuck them!
They've gotten too big.
They used to be one of us!
Alright guys, this is
costing us several million
doIlars to destroy this report.
I want you to know that,
William.
A Iot of stuff that you don't
know about goes into silencing
the media.
First off, we need to make
agreements with all participants
to evict all information
from the record.
That of course includes
rounding up all participants.
What the fuck?!
And of course if there are
any problems
we'll have to deal with them.
You can take this waiver
and shove it up your ass!
Let it be known that
the participant is belligerent.
Noted.
Participant slated for mental
reprogramming,
facial reconstructive surgery,
and relocation.
[Groaning]
Well you guys don't need
to know everything that goes
into it.
Just know it's a Iong,
complicated eXpensive process.
This isn't my face!
This happens every time you,
William, have a media disaster,
which is often.
Why is everybody
blaming me?
You consistently make us
Iook like a bunch of dumb,
rich, sheltered assholes.
We should put's a fuckin'
muzzle on dat guys.
Toki?
Ams you wearings my pants?
What's? Shuts up.
Dammits Murderface!
We puts a muzzle on you asshole!
Boy dids you fuck up!
I would likes my pants back.
Fuck you, Toki!
I'll take that shit from
these assholes but not you.
Well regardless Murderface.
Fuck you!
Right.
Furthermore,
due to this backlash
we decided to get closer to the
fans by lifting the world-wide
ban on Dethklok tribute bands.
And, uh, you don't have to
worry about that now.
We'll get to it tomorrow.
My Iords your jet to Ibiza
awaits.
What the fuck are we going
to Ibiza for?
Well it's the Iocation of
the pentuplemint gum company.
You all participated in
a monster European ad campaign
for Pentuplemint gum
and the premiere's tonight.
Yeah, Pentuplemint,
like Pentagram.
That's fuck bad-ass.
Right guys?
Yeah, it's totally bad-ass
and brutal.
Pentuplemint gum.
# [Dance music plays] #
this is a pretty metal party.
Yeah!
Hey you get over here.
What are those?
This is a sugar crusted
bacon-wrapped chilean sea bass
seared in a platinum pan
just how you like it, sire.
ohhh! Dear god, that's good.
oh kick ass, they're gonna
show our bubblegum premiere.
oh brutal!
You know Murderface,
you might have
fuck up some fuck,
but at least this has got
the Dethklok stamp of approval.
And it's gonna be fuck
bad-ass!
And it's gonna be
fuck metal!

Uh, yeah.

I just want to say I think

Take this fuck head.
Fuck you.
Pentuplemint gum's fuck lame!
You should know that.
Dude it's okay!
It's a European ad!
Come back!
It's a Europeans ads.
It doesn't make a difference!
I thought it didn't makes
a difference!
Uh, apparently it does.
Fuck.
I think that fuck kid
was right.
What are we doing?
Selling gum in Europe?
There's nothing brutal
about that.
We wouldn't have done that
when we started out.
It's not just Murderface,
it's us.
Maybe we should just get used
to being sell-outs.
We're totally out of touch.
You know right?
Right super model
that I just fuck'd?
Cfoh welcome back everyone.
You Iook a little tired,
a little hung over.
Let's get right into this.
Since the lifting of the
worldwide ban on Dethklok
tribute bands, there has been
an eXplosion all around
the globe.
As per the terms of the vote,
Dethklok retains the right
of approval or disapproval of
each band.
Let's begin.
First, from Boulder, CoIorado,
Smoothklok, who perform
smooth jazz versions of
Dethklok songs.
SKWISGAARh
Yeah that's ams
pretty crappsy.
ToKlh
Gots to admits
it's brutal though.
NATHANh
Brutal as in, like,
what if I had to listen
to this shit.
CFoh
This is Ladyklok, an
all-female tribute to Dethklok.
ALLh
Nooo.
MURDERFACEh
Women are
physically incapable of
achieving brutality.
It's just a cruel fact
of nature.
That Lady Pickles is pretty
cute though.
That's kind of creepy.
No it isn't.
She does have pretty eyes.
From Korea, Dethkrok.
No.
The Barbarklok Quintet.
No.
Christklok.
Uhh.
Thunderhorse.
Noo.
Yes.
Sorry Toki? Did I hear a yes?
I likes 'em. NeXt band.
Wait a minute.
Are you kiddings Toki?
Look at them guys.
I thinks they're pretty cooI.
Wait a minute!
No that's pretty cooI.
Let's move on.
Wait! Stop the video!!
Zoom in.
CIoser.
To the right.
Right there.
That's Toki.
MURDERFACEh
It is!
Holy shit.
You're in a tribute band
paying tribute to yourself?
That's like jacking off to
a picture of yourself online.
Which I've done.
of course I'm not's paying
tribute to myself.
In Thunderhorse, I'm Skwisgaar.
Dats why my pants and shirts
keep disappearing!
Dats fuckin' weird dudes.
Well, we're really good.
We plays every Thursday night.
Wait a minute!
Thursday night?
That's impossible!
You have astronaut class
on Thursday night.
Astronaut class is a lie?!!
I've been telling everybody
that you're going to be
an astronaut.
Now you're making me Iook
like an asshole!
Now waits, waits!
Give us a chance.
Come sees us play!
Uhhh, I don't know.
Wait a minute.
Tribute band, crappy club,
real people...
Maybe we should go.
Wow.
What a shit hole.
Look at that stage.
It's fuckin' tiny!
PICKLESh
oh, wait no dude,
it's just an optical illusion.
It just Iooks small because
it's real far away.
Check it out... I'll walk
all the way over to it.
Holy shit, it's tiny!
Hey uh, I'm Jimmy Palamino,
uh Palamino Tribute band
Emporium.
Your home to the best,
to the neXt best thing
to the best.
It's my pleasure to welcome to
the stage Norman BIowup,
Pockles the Drummer,
Tooki Wolfpaint,
Billy Butterface
and Skwisgaar Skwigelf.
Didn'ts even change my name?
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thunderhorse!
Hey guys, are you ready
to get brutal?
# #
Toki!
You gotta let us into your band.
I agrees.
I think this is just what
we needs.
But we already gots a you.
Me.
Well fines then.
I'll be you.
A much betters you.
It'll be perfect!
We'll be regular jackoffs!
No one will even know it's us
if we're in our own tribute
group!
You all want to join
Thunderhorse?
Yes. We do.
We're going to take a break
from the fuckin' disgusting
asshole rich life.
And what better way to do that
than by joining a tribute band
to the greatest band
in the world.
Dethklok!
But Nathan's we can't kicks
everyones out of de bands!
It's their tribute band!
Fuck that, watch this.
Hey you guys, fuckin' scram.
Bye bye.
Fired.
You don't have to go home
but you can't stay here.
Bye bye.
Uhhhh,
they're not getting it.
Look guys, we're only
thinking about what's best
for Thunderhorse here.
Alright how 'bout this.
You guys got about five seconds
to get out of here then
the beatings begin.
5...
get out, scram...
4,3...
even me?
No, no no. You're special.
We need you. Just kidding.
Yes, you too, pug nose.
Scramarooney.
on through that door.
Go on.
Get out of here!
Gentlemen, we are faced with
a volatile situation.
Dethklok has deliberately
stepped down from celebrity
status in an attempt
to meld into normal society.
If this type of behavior
spread to the greater
celebrity world, the effects
could be devastating.
We have a celebrity
specialist to tell us more.
Gentlemen, once a mortal
becomes a celebrity,
their credibility is constantly
challenged by regular jackoffs.
This of course
sends them in search of their
innocence and former naivete.
When these celebrities
realize they can no Ionger be
who they were they become
despondent self-hating zombies
and flee from the public.
If Dethklok withdrawals the
consequences will be abominable.
The economy would begin
to fall upon itself and world
relations would crumble.
We all die.
Good god.
our worst nightmare.
EXactly.
What can we do?
Right now, nothing.
We can only pray that
by some miracle,
Dethklok comes to their senses.
Thank you!
We are Thunderhorse, a tribute
to the greatest band in the
world... Dethklok.
Good night!
Man can you believe this?
I mean, this is what we were
talking about not too Iong ago.
This fuckin' lifestyle,
five sweaty dudes
in a shitty little room.
No bull shit,
fancy caterings
and top-shelf booze...
yeah, and no wide screen tvs
to throw our empty
champagne bottles through.
Hey, nice job, guys.
You almost sound like
the real thing.
Anyway, here's a few
beer tickets. on the house.
Beer tickets?
I think he said,
"beer tickets."
Beer tickets?
I don't know what that is.
Well these are good for any
of the cheap domestics.
Yeah, let's try your little
theory out, shit head.
You do it, I'm not doing it.
I'll do it, I don't care.
Yeah do it Pickles,
see what happens!
Stand and wait for him.
Go. Go go, go go go.
Uhh, I have a beer ticket
for one beer please.
What is he doing?
What happened?
Guys! It's a beer!
You mean that that things
he gaves you ams likes little
monies what ams only for beers?
How come Dethklok never got
beer tickets before?
Yeah what the hell?
okay, this is bullshit
all right?
All we ever get is
all the booze we can drink.
We never get beer tickets.
Hey uh, eXcuse me?
Are you Norman BIowup?
Uh, yeah. That's who I am.
I'm heading up the Pontiac
Michigan Metal Health
Alliance Benefit and would Iove
for you guys to play it.
Uh lady.
I don't think so.
We don't do that kind of thing.
Wait, guys.
Dethklok would never do
something like this, but
Thunderhorse would.
We'll do it.
Thunderhorse is going
to be there.
Yeah you can count on them.
I know of a party at this
dude's house, and I think
his parents are out of town.
Will there be people there
we can get in touch with our
roots with, like ugly chicks?
Probably.
We're going.
This is it, guys.
Hanging out with regular
jackoffs.
I feel like we're finally
getting in touch with
our fuckin' roots...
and fuck guys, that's
pretty fuckin' awesome.
[Ioud rumble]
I think that's my stomach.
[Rumble]
I think that's me maybe.
[Rumbling continues]
Wait.
When was the last time we ate?
I don't know.
We usually get fed by our
servants.
But, they aren't here.
Right they ring that bell
and then we know
we're supposed to eat.
I don't remembers no ones
ringing no bells,
so that's means it's been days
since we ates.
Guys, I think we're starving.
I remember this.
Does we gots any monies?
Nope.
We got those beer tickets.
That's all.
Well how the fuck are we
gonna eat then?!
I got it.
We're hungry.
I'm going to get us a gig.
So you know, this gig
here doesn't pay but, you know,
when you're done you can have
all the spaghetti you want.
Dats fine.
Probably what we'd use our
money on anywayh spaghetti.
Yeah spaghetti.
Cut out the middleman.
So uhhh, I'm not seeing any
Ioad-in team.
Can you page them or whatever
and tell them to Ioad us in?
I'm started to get worried
about time here.
oh, no no no no.
There's no Ioad-in team.
You guys are gonna have
to set up your own gear.
Alright.
We're done Ioading in gear.
Murderface, you haven't even
Ioaded your gear in yet.
I'm not Ioading it.
I don't do that.
Dude, everyone Ioads in their
own stuff.
It's the rules!
oh like it matters.
I'll just fuckin' pretend play.
It won't be the first time.
What?
Nothin!
It won't be the first time
you pretend played?
Well that's good.
That's good to know.
# #
# [indistinct] #
# [music continues] #
# #
[people groaning]
Great.
The spaghetti is ruined.
We'll at least we got the gig
tonight at Palaminos.
We'll just make sure to not
get paid in beer ticket money,
but actual money.
Thank you! Good night!
Whoa, that's the smallest
audience we've ever played.
You guys must've forgotten
to flyer.
Flyering?
Am I from outer space?
What's flyering?
We have to print out some
advertisements,
write the information on there,
pass them out to people.
Boom! Everyone's here.
We'll be turning people away.
[Rumbling]
Looks like Dethklok's
stirring up things again!
The Pentuplemint Gum Company was
attacked earlier today by angry
Dethklok fans for
"eXploiting" the band.
The destruction cost the company
nearly 12 million in repairs
but who's really at fault here?
And where's Dethklok to
answer these questions?
Looks like it's a good time
to not be in Dethklok.
In related news,
the struggling Dethklok
tribute band, Thunderhorse, has
been signed to headline
the Metal Health Alliance
benefit.
Big deal! Who cares!
SIoppy seconds anyone?
Hmm.
Guys we don't have a Iot of
money,
so we're not going to get that
many flyers.
So we gotta place them very
strategically, all right?
We got to place them really,
really strategically.
NeXt.
oh Iook at you guys.
You're a band.
That's real eXciting.
Making flyers so
you can get big and famous?
Ugh, yeah.
We'd like to make flyers.
What's your band called?
Hey we're called uh, Thun-
never heard of you.
Surprise!
Dats why we ams gettings
flyers, so peoples knows whats
who we are.
And then you'll be a big rock
and roII star!!!
Wowie!
Another band.
If I wasn't so lethargic from
from hunger I'd, uh,
kick your ass and...
make copies of it here.
Copy.
That's my stomach,
making that sound.
Uhhhh.
Why are we here?
Why do we have
this stack of paper?
Passing out flyers.
Right. Fuck.
Why am I so fuckin' tired?
I mean I know I'm hungry,
but why am I so hungry?
I know why.
We haven't eaten.
We haven't had a good night
of sleep.
Well our sleeping situation
could be better.
[Skwisgaar moans]
Moves your arm.
Does you likes that?
Does you likes that?
Lets me knows if I tickles you.
[Rumbling]
Sorry that's my stomach.
So yeah.
We have a hundred flyers here,
that's it.
We need them to go out to
people who will come to a show.
Do not fuck this up,
Murderface.
And with the real Dethklok on
indefinite hiatus, tonight's
benefit is being touted
as the Iocal event of the year.
And it features the band that
sounds almost just like Dethklok
more or less.
[Nathan grunting]
CFoh
So, uh, this is what
you guys have been up to, huh?
No answer?
Getting back to your roots
been good?
Nathan?
Yes.
It's been really good.
You guys doing okay with
no money or accommodations?
We've been fine!
God!
Well uh,
you don't sound fine.
You sound agitated.
Hungry.
Miserable.
Anyway the reason I'm here is
that I caught wind
that "Thunderhorse" is doing
a health benefit.
You realize tonight is your uh,
Chefs from around the World
Taste Test party?
But we have an obligation and
Thunderhorse doesn't back down
on obligations... not like
some other bands.
Well uhh, I brought you guys
some Kobe beef fois gras
burgers.
No!!!!
We don't eat that fancy
eXpensive stuff anymore!!!
We're getting in touch
with our roots!!!!
Uhh, alright then.
Well, you guys know
how to get in touch with me.
Goodbye.
[Rumbling]
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
[Chanting continues]
Well uh, guys,
tonight's the big night...
metal health
alliance benefit
that we said we'd do.
You all feeling good?
[Clears throat]
Ugh.
[Sniffs]
Hey, you are Norman BIowup
from Thunderhorse right?
Yeah, yeah I am.
I just want to say I think
you are a fuckin' sell-out
for doing this health
benefit concert.
Dethklok would never do
something like this and you're
ruining their good name.
Fuck you!
You should know
better than that!
[Rumbling]
You know, uh, guys,
it's hard to say this but,
I've have my fuckin' fill
of getting back to our roots.
And, that's because it
fuckin' sucks.
I am so glad you said that.
I mean the reason we are
in Dethklok is because we all
paid our dues already.
I didn't.
I says we gets the fuck
out of here.
But dude we still have to do
that benefit.
We promised those guys
we'd do it!
Thunderhorse promised.
Not Dethklok.
Dethklok's getting the fuck
out of here and getting
some fuckin' food.
Waits stops!
We needs to tell thems that
we are going.
It's a health benefits!
We needs to do the right things!
Its a mob of angry people,
Toki.
Who do you wanna throw out
there to the fuckin' sharks?
Hello one and all.
I have a small announcement.
We want Thunderhorse!!
It would seem that
Thunderhorse will not be
performing this evening
as scheduled.
What? What the fuck?!
Hear me out.
I think if we can all just
remain calm.
Take this beer bottle on
your face.
Look, you fuckin' pricks!!
I don't have to take this kind
of bullshit from you
fuckin' dildos!!
I'm fuckin' William
fuckin' Murderface!
And you can suck
my millionaire cock!
[Angry shouting]
We're ready now.
Pick us up in our big
fancy fuckin' helicopter.
Thank you.

Let's get right into this.
Since the lifting of the
worldwide ban on Dethklok
tribute bands, there has been
an eXplosion all around
the globe.
As per the terms of the vote,
Dethklok retains the right
of approval or disapproval of
each band.
Let's begin.
First, from Boulder, CoIorado,
Smoothklok, who perform
smooth jazz versions of
Dethklok songs.
SKWISGAARh
Yeah that's ams
pretty crappsy.
ToKlh
Gots to admits
it's brutal though.
NATHANh
Brutal as in, like,
what if I had to listen
to this shit.
CFoh
This is Ladyklok, an
all-female tribute to Dethklok.
ALLh
Nooo.
MURDERFACEh
Women are
physically incapable of
achieving brutality.
It's just a cruel fact
of nature.
That Lady Pickles is pretty
cute though.
That's kind of creepy.
No it isn't.
She does have pretty eyes.
From Korea, Dethkrok.
No.
The Barbarklok Quintet.

Christklok.
Uhh.

Look at them guys.
I thinks they're pretty cooI.
Wait a minute!
No that's pretty cooI.
Let's move on.
Wait! Stop the video!!
Zoom in.
CIoser.
To the right.
Right there.
That's Toki.
MURDERFACEh
It is!
Holy shit.
You're in a tribute band
paying tribute to yourself?
That's like jacking off to
a picture of yourself online.
Which I've done.
of course I'm not's paying
tribute to myself.
In Thunderhorse, I'm Skwisgaar.
Dats why my pants and shirts
keep disappearing!
Dats fuckin' weird dudes.
Well, we're really good.
We plays every Thursday night.
Wait a minute!
Thursday night?
That's impossible!
You have astronaut class
on Thursday night.
Astronaut class is a lie?!!
I've been telling everybody
that you're going to be
an astronaut.
Now you're making me Iook
like an asshole!
Now waits, waits!
Give us a chance.
Come sees us play!
Uhhh, I don't know.
Wait a minute.
Tribute band, crappy club,
real people...
Maybe we should go.
Wow.
What a shit hole.
Look at that stage.
It's fuckin' tiny!
PICKLESh
oh, wait no dude,
it's just an optical illusion.
It just Iooks small because
it's real far away.
Check it out... I'll walk
all the way over to it.
Holy shit, it's tiny!
Hey uh, I'm Jimmy Palamino,
uh Palamino Tribute band
Emporium.
Your home to the best,
to the neXt best thing
to the best.
It's my pleasure to welcome to
the stage Norman BIowup,
Pockles the Drummer,
Tooki Wolfpaint,
Billy Butterface
and Skwisgaar Skwigelf.
Didn'ts even change my name?
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thunderhorse!
Hey guys, are you ready
to get brutal?
# #
Toki!
You gotta let us into your band.
I agrees.
I think this is just what
we needs.
But we already gots a you.
Me.
Well fines then.
I'll be you.
A much betters you.
It'll be perfect!
We'll be regular jackoffs!
No one will even know it's us
if we're in our own tribute
group!
You all want to join
Thunderhorse?
Yes. We do.
We're going to take a break
from the fuckin' disgusting
asshole rich life.
And what better way to do that
than by joining a tribute band
to the greatest band
in the world.
Dethklok!
But Nathan's we can't kicks
everyones out of de bands!
It's their tribute band!
Fuck that, watch this.
Hey you guys, fuckin' scram.
Bye bye.
Fired.
You don't have to go home
but you can't stay here.
Bye bye.
Uhhhh,
they're not getting it.
Look guys, we're only
thinking about what's best
for Thunderhorse here.
Alright how 'bout this.
You guys got about five seconds
to get out of here then
the beatings begin.
5...
get out, scram...
4,3...
even me?
No, no no. You're special.
We need you. Just kidding.
Yes, you too, pug nose.
Scramarooney.
on through that door.
Go on.
Get out of here!
Gentlemen, we are faced with
a volatile situation.
Dethklok has deliberately
stepped down from celebrity
status in an attempt
to meld into normal society.
If this type of behavior
spread to the greater
celebrity world, the effects
could be devastating.
We have a celebrity
specialist to tell us more.
Gentlemen, once a mortal
becomes a celebrity,
their credibility is constantly
challenged by regular jackoffs.
This of course
sends them in search of their
innocence and former naivete.
When these celebrities
realize they can no Ionger be
who they were they become
despondent self-hating zombies
and flee from the public.
If Dethklok withdrawals the
consequences will be abominable.
The economy would begin
to fall upon itself and world
relations would crumble.
We all die.
Good god.
our worst nightmare.
EXactly.
What can we do?
Right now, nothing.
We can only pray that
by some miracle,
Dethklok comes to their senses.
Thank you!
We are Thunderhorse, a tribute
to the greatest band in the
world... Dethklok.
Good night!
Man can you believe this?
I mean, this is what we were
talking about not too Iong ago.
This fuckin' lifestyle,
five sweaty dudes
in a shitty little room.
No bull shit,
fancy caterings
and top-shelf booze...
yeah, and no wide screen tvs
to throw our empty
champagne bottles through.
Hey, nice job, guys.
You almost sound like
the real thing.
Anyway, here's a few
beer tickets. on the house.
Beer tickets?
I think he said,
"beer tickets."
Beer tickets?
I don't know what that is.
Well these are good for any
of the cheap domestics.
Yeah, let's try your little
theory out, shit head.
You do it, I'm not doing it.
I'll do it, I don't care.
Yeah do it Pickles,
see what happens!
Stand and wait for him.
Go. Go go, go go go.
Uhh, I have a beer ticket
for one beer please.
What is he doing?
What happened?
Guys! It's a beer!
You mean that that things
he gaves you ams likes little
monies what ams only for beers?
How come Dethklok never got
beer tickets before?
Yeah what the hell?
okay, this is bullshit
all right?
All we ever get is
all the booze we can drink.
We never get beer tickets.
Hey uh, eXcuse me?
Are you Norman BIowup?
Uh, yeah. That's who I am.
I'm heading up the Pontiac
Michigan Metal Health
Alliance Benefit and would Iove
for you guys to play it.
Uh lady.
I don't think so.
We don't do that kind of thing.
Wait, guys.
Dethklok would never do
something like this, but
Thunderhorse would.
We'll do it.
Thunderhorse is going
to be there.
Yeah you can count on them.
I know of a party at this
dude's house, and I think
his parents are out of town.
Will there be people there
we can get in touch with our
roots with, like ugly chicks?
Probably.
We're going.
This is it, guys.
Hanging out with regular
jackoffs.
I feel like we're finally
getting in touch with
our fuckin' roots...
and fuck guys, that's
pretty fuckin' awesome.
[Ioud rumble]
I think that's my stomach.
[Rumble]
I think that's me maybe.
[Rumbling continues]
Wait.
When was the last time we ate?
I don't know.
We usually get fed by our
servants.
But, they aren't here.
Right they ring that bell
and then we know
we're supposed to eat.
I don't remembers no ones
ringing no bells,
so that's means it's been days
since we ates.
Guys, I think we're starving.
I remember this.
Does we gots any monies?
Nope.
We got those beer tickets.
That's all.
Well how the fuck are we
gonna eat then?!
I got it.
We're hungry.
I'm going to get us a gig.
So you know, this gig
here doesn't pay but, you know,
when you're done you can have
all the spaghetti you want.
Dats fine.
Probably what we'd use our
money on anywayh spaghetti.
Yeah spaghetti.
Cut out the middleman.
So uhhh, I'm not seeing any
Ioad-in team.
Can you page them or whatever
and tell them to Ioad us in?
I'm started to get worried
about time here.
oh, no no no no.
There's no Ioad-in team.
You guys are gonna have
to set up your own gear.
Alright.
We're done Ioading in gear.
Murderface, you haven't even
Ioaded your gear in yet.
I'm not Ioading it.
I don't do that.
Dude, everyone Ioads in their
own stuff.
It's the rules!
oh like it matters.
I'll just fuckin' pretend play.
It won't be the first time.
What?
Nothin!
It won't be the first time
you pretend played?
Well that's good.
That's good to know.
# #
# [indistinct] #
# [music continues] #
# #
[people groaning]
Great.
The spaghetti is ruined.
We'll at least we got the gig
tonight at Palaminos.
We'll just make sure to not
get paid in beer ticket money,
but actual money.
Thank you! Good night!
Whoa, that's the smallest
audience we've ever played.
You guys must've forgotten
to flyer.
Flyering?
Am I from outer space?
What's flyering?
We have to print out some
advertisements,
write the information on there,
pass them out to people.
Boom! Everyone's here.
We'll be turning people away.
[Rumbling]
Looks like Dethklok's
stirring up things again!
The Pentuplemint Gum Company was
attacked earlier today by angry
Dethklok fans for
"eXploiting" the band.
The destruction cost the company
nearly 12 million in repairs
but who's really at fault here?
And where's Dethklok to
answer these questions?
Looks like it's a good time
to not be in Dethklok.
In related news,
the struggling Dethklok
tribute band, Thunderhorse, has
been signed to headline
the Metal Health Alliance
benefit.
Big deal! Who cares!
SIoppy seconds anyone?
Hmm.
Guys we don't have a Iot of
money,
so we're not going to get that
many flyers.
So we gotta place them very
strategically, all right?
We got to place them really,
really strategically.
NeXt.
oh Iook at you guys.
You're a band.
That's real eXciting.
Making flyers so
you can get big and famous?
Ugh, yeah.
We'd like to make flyers.
What's your band called?
Hey we're called uh, Thun-
never heard of you.
Surprise!
Dats why we ams gettings
flyers, so peoples knows whats
who we are.
And then you'll be a big rock
and roII star!!!
Wowie!
Another band.
If I wasn't so lethargic from
from hunger I'd, uh,
kick your ass and...
make copies of it here.
Copy.
That's my stomach,
making that sound.
Uhhhh.
Why are we here?
Why do we have
this stack of paper?
Passing out flyers.
Right. Fuck.
Why am I so fuckin' tired?
I mean I know I'm hungry,
but why am I so hungry?
I know why.
We haven't eaten.
We haven't had a good night
of sleep.
Well our sleeping situation
could be better.
[Skwisgaar moans]
Moves your arm.
Does you likes that?
Does you likes that?
Lets me knows if I tickles you.
[Rumbling]
Sorry that's my stomach.
So yeah.
We have a hundred flyers here,
that's it.
We need them to go out to
people who will come to a show.
Do not fuck this up,
Murderface.
And with the real Dethklok on
indefinite hiatus, tonight's
benefit is being touted
as the Iocal event of the year.
And it features the band that
sounds almost just like Dethklok
more or less.
[Nathan grunting]
CFoh
So, uh, this is what
you guys have been up to, huh?
No answer?
Getting back to your roots
been good?
Nathan?
Yes.
It's been really good.
You guys doing okay with
no money or accommodations?
We've been fine!
God!
Well uh,
you don't sound fine.
You sound agitated.
Hungry.
Miserable.
Anyway the reason I'm here is
that I caught wind
that "Thunderhorse" is doing
a health benefit.
You realize tonight is your uh,
Chefs from around the World
Taste Test party?
But we have an obligation and
Thunderhorse doesn't back down
on obligations... not like
some other bands.
Well uhh, I brought you guys
some Kobe beef fois gras
burgers.
No!!!!
We don't eat that fancy
eXpensive stuff anymore!!!
We're getting in touch
with our roots!!!!
Uhh, alright then.
Well, you guys know
how to get in touch with me.
Goodbye.
[Rumbling]
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
Thunderhorse!
[Chanting continues]
Well uh, guys,
tonight's the big night...
metal health
alliance benefit
that we said we'd do.
You all feeling good?
[Clears throat]
Ugh.
[Sniffs]
Hey, you are Norman BIowup
from Thunderhorse right?
Yeah, yeah I am.
I just want to say I think
you are a fuckin' sell-out
for doing this health
benefit concert.
Dethklok would never do
something like this and you're
ruining their good name.
Fuck you!
You should know
better than that!
[Rumbling]
You know, uh, guys,
it's hard to say this but,
I've have my fuckin' fill
of getting back to our roots.
And, that's because it
fuckin' sucks.
I am so glad you said that.
I mean the reason we are
in Dethklok is because we all
paid our dues already.
I didn't.
I says we gets the fuck
out of here.
But dude we still have to do
that benefit.
We promised those guys
we'd do it!
Thunderhorse promised.
Not Dethklok.
Dethklok's getting the fuck
out of here and getting
some fuckin' food.
Waits stops!
We needs to tell thems that
we are going.
It's a health benefits!
We needs to do the right things!
Its a mob of angry people,
Toki.
Who do you wanna throw out
there to the fuckin' sharks?
Hello one and all.
I have a small announcement.
We want Thunderhorse!!
It would seem that
Thunderhorse will not be
performing this evening
as scheduled.
What? What the fuck?!
Hear me out.
I think if we can all just
remain calm.
Take this beer bottle on
your face.
Look, you fuckin' pricks!!
I don't have to take this kind
of bullshit from you
fuckin' dildos!!
I'm fuckin' William
fuckin' Murderface!
And you can suck
my millionaire cock!
[Angry shouting]
We're ready now.
Pick us up in our big
fancy fuckin' helicopter.
Thank you.
