Now now, no insinuating Tripod are gay.

I'm still waiting for examples of who is supposed to be copying Tripod.

Yes, just like Man Bites God didn't rip off Flight of the Conchords by singing in French et al?

before we know it all our comedy will be homogenized (I'd like to thank Ben Elton for that word )

Ben Elton invented the word homogenised? Um. Yeah.

I'm not saying he invented it I'm saying that I use it a lot more since I saw all the interviews he did about We Will Rock You.

Maybe we could just pull all comedy trios apart and make one supreme trio. That would make it a lot better, cheaper and time efficient.

actually, only mark had ever heard that song by FOtheC, and james and chris wrote the song then Mark told them about it.

anyway, the mbg song is absolutely NOTHING like the FOTC song.

Surely no two groups could come up with the idea of singing in French when they are not really French :lookarou:

Yeah, but MBG's original didn't have Cal Wilson squirming around and looking like she's about to have an orgasm.

Case closed!

maybe they did, but maybe it was just in private

See that over there? That's the point...

well, it's hard to pick up some sarcasm via computer.

pull your head out of your ass.

they're all exactly the same when the lights are off so i don't know what you're all complaining about hehe

Cutting to the chase, I'll make it easy for everyone:
Tripod used to be crap. Now they're not so crap but, make no mistake, they are very derivative and about as original as peanut butter. Oh look! In it's in a new jar! On the skithouse shelf in the supermarket of mediocrity! Good singers, but can't act for peanuts.

[Mythor]

Cut to the chase?
Wouldn't that imply explaining how OTHER bands copy TRIPOD, not the other way round?
Methinks you missed the point of the topic.

Actually, I remember a sketch from the original Muppet Show where someone was talking french to Miss Piggy and she was swooning, even though it was the number to the local tip or something. I think it may have been Steve Martin. The idea has been around for *decades*.

[Munchkin]

And Morticia was always swooning.

And the damn French stole the French language from the Celts, the Germanic and Latin people.

and pasta comes from china not italy
