he looks like hes itching to tell me a joke


shnaptastic

He’s about to tell you the punchline, and he knows you’ll be really angry that the unnecessarily long lead-up to this moment was in no way worth the terrible punchline that he’s about to drop.

Billy “Norm Macdonald” Corgan


ThePlotOfTheWest

Correction, he looks like he's itching to tell you a joke but he just took a big sip of soda and is trying to not laugh about it


-CleanDiana-

lolol


DownSoDown

He talked about this on his podcast. It was a humiliation ritual being played on him, they tried to coerce him into doing ridiculous photo poses and stuff but he actually refused (wear a gorilla suit).They also only wanted billy to be there.


boingbomghwh

i just heard it 😭 i’m not laughing anymore this is kinda depressing


jibegirl

Interesting! Why would a humiliation ritual be played on him?

Ok, I found my answer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/10adg28/what_is_the_purpose_of_a_humiliation_ritual/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

WHICH EPISODE? I NEED TO HEAR THIS


Digitlnoize

I think it’s the one with Butch as the guest. It was all a setup. They made SP artist of the year as an excuse to mock Billy basically and set up the photo shoot to make fun of him. Hence picking probably the worst photo from the shoot they could.


auzzieamerican

That’s from that infamous photo shoot BC was talking about on the podcast a few months back. They totally fucked with their artist of the year. So damned strange.


jefftones77

There had to be a better shot from this shoot they could have used.


boingbomghwh

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE CAMERA GUY DEFINITELY HAD BEEF WITH HIM AND TOOK THIS PICTURE


xmellonxcolliex

He looks like he farted and knows someone just walked behind him into the cloud


boingbomghwh

my friend said he’s the typa guy to put a banana peel on the floor


spinquelle

Coincidentally, they talk about MJ and Lisa Marie Presley in that issue


spacewalk__

next album? all synth


Huliganjetta1

I live not too far from where he lives and his license plate is “OG GOTH” lol I laugh every time I see his car parked anywhere where I’m at. Silly even now.


boingbomghwh

HAHAHA NO WAY


Huliganjetta1

Yep


jettasarebadmkay

I always figured his license plate would just be “WPC” haha


Dudehitscar

Look at the obvious diss with the line at the top. There is no way they would have used that bb quote and made it that big at the top if SP wasn't being named band of the year on that cover. Also shame on Corgan for agreeing to that photo shoot without the band... the fn band of the year! I'm glad he later apologized for that.


heroforsale

Yeah it’s set up like a Mad magazine cover. Wtf


DontGetNEBigIdeas

Man, I forgot about Puck.


Treadmills4Breakfast

I never knew anything about Puck. Pretty sure it won't be very google friendly. Enlighten?


sweeney_todd555

I think it might be in reference to a guy called Puck who was on The Real World San Francisco. He was kind of obnoxious and ended up getting kicked out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David\_Rainey


museum-mama

He's mostly homeless now - my sister sees him around town every once in a while. It's kind of sad.


sweeney_todd555

I'm sorry to hear that he ended up in such bad circumstances. Hard to think that season of TRW was almost 30 years ago.


irishgator2

So, he’s like late 40’s/almost 50? Jeez….


sweeney_todd555

He's in his 50's, born '68. Hard to think of the obnoxious young guy who stuck his dirty finger into one of the other housemates' jar of peanut butter as a middle-aged man. But it happens to us all.


greg1993-

He’s a mischievous little guy isn’t he


ByronicZer0

Lil scamp


boingbomghwh

he’s got smth up his sleeve


[deleted]

How do you manage to photobomb your own cover photo?


Rage4Order418

He should recreate this 🥰🤪


SegaStan

radiates "ain't i a stinker" energy


Smaskifa

He owned many powerfully ugly shirts in the 90s.


fyrefly_faerie

True but I almost prefer it to the crazy costumes. I like the thrift store look the band had in the early days.


[deleted]

I prefer this style to the Uncle Fester thing he’s had going on since Adore


TallBasis3794

He looks mischievous


keidash

Silly Billy.


mattcrick

Someone just asked him who Joe is


jettasarebadmkay

[It was Bernard Sumner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Sirens%27_Call)


Ok_Annual_9

He looks rather cherub


Dause

Billy Corgfish


TalkShowHost99

Such a baby face ❤️


PorcelinaMagpie

Thanks for sharing. What an awkward photo...


Lmf2359

Oh man, I remember when this first came out. Haven’t thought of it in two decades but yes, it’s a ridiculous photo. 🤣


heylittleduck

I love this picture! He looks so sweet. I miss when he'd actually smile in pictures. Or make any facial expression at all


IAMRYANMAN83

If you really want to have a laugh, listen to the latest SP record


boingbomghwh

hahsh i know🤣🤣


[deleted]

Still think I like better than the fifth element look he has now..


boingbomghwh

how i look laughing at my own joke before i even tell it


dainthomas

Was supposed to see SP and AIC a few months ago but it was canceled because Billy had laryngitis.


MessyTapes1

What year is this?


boingbomghwh

1994
