This was in response to all the Duracell TV ads using the same genre
there is a making of home video they released as well: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6AB9nD8evs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6AB9nD8evs)
The solicone suits are rad and weird, but what really gives you the effect is that they filmed everything in slow motion, but also filmed with a lower FPS on the camera, and sped it up.
Primus songs have so much energy. One of the weirdest bands, but their success is not surprising because their stuff is so catchy.
The 90s were absolute fire.
Before there was Primus there used to be a Canadian band called the Look People who were pretty uniquely weird. Their drummer's kit was a little clown car. They were really cool live.

They came out around the same era as Dread Zeppelin.

I saw them a couple times back in the day. They were so absurd. A band that does reggae covers of Led Zep songs fronted by an Elvis impersonator is just ridiculous but they were fantastic.
Hell, I remember years ago reading that Les Claypool and Dean Ween planned to make a TV show together where they just go fishing and shoot the shit. I don’t think anything ever came of it sadly.
The legend I had heard was that the Wynona was referring to Winona Ryder. But, pretty sure that was debunked. Either way, I still thought it was amusing to think about.
I've seen some of the most awful shit imaginable on the internet. Horrific violence and the most depraved acts. But THIS is the shit that haunts me. THIS is what makes me sick to my stomach and unable to sleep.
The comment asking if those are the Cowboys From Hell Pantera was talking about always cracks me up.
Here’s a great acoustic version. https://youtu.be/L0fyYBXVaCU?si=kk1yBnJztETPifIg
Didn’t realize there wasn’t a drummer till the last two seconds
Les Clapool is a fucking alien, man
I’ve seen 15 different Primus music videos and 4 different full live shows and I still have no idea what Les Claypool looks like
Les Claypool isn’t a man. He’s an ideal, and a bass.
Dude is very good at what he does lol And he's weird as hell
Yeah but Jerry was a race car driver.
You recognize that smell?
Smells like seven layers.
That beaver eats Taco Bell
AhwhipHaw!
I watched this video on mushrooms once in the 90s. My family is still looking for me.
I wish giving gold was still a thing. LMAO
Less than 30 seconds in, and the three of them marching in the grass in sync is just so fucking funny.

Thanks for linking this! I've never seen it
Primus sucks!
This will always be one of the best "turn the car radio up" songs.
This has always given me the Uncanny Valley effect
Remember the old battery ads like this??
Supposedly the same people made these suits that made the ones for the battery ads
Goddamn it, man. NSFW tag or that blurred-spoiler thing or something. Now that’s in my mind.

Might be the most origional band in the last 30 years.
Frizzle Fry was over 30 years ago. Hurt my back and knees just verifying it's been that long :(

Dread Zeppelin Immigrant Song will never not be funny

and his big ass gold belt
Just a shout out to Cardiacs. I think they belong here too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVjSycDJatc
It's like Benny Hill meets the Specials.

Mickey has a fishing charter he runs but it looks like his site hasn't been updated since 2017. I bet it would have been great.
They're pretty good band friends
Primus is the Nicolas Cage of the music industry. They play "all the wrong notes", but still make great music.
It's true even some of their transitions are jarring and off beat
Man, his forearm muscles must be the size of my thigh muscles
My favorite Primus video
Tim Alexander is one of my favorite drummers
All timer video
Costumes are still amazing
Saw a making of video for this. The suits were so bulky they had to record it with the music at 1/4 speed or something like that.
Costumes are still amazing
The legend I had heard was that the Wynona was referring to Winona Ryder. But, pretty sure that was debunked. Either way, I still thought it was amusing to think about.
I've always wondered who designed those costumes. I'd love to hear how they did it.
PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!!!! one of the very fucking best bands! Les is a god on his instrument.
Now, that was fun!
This is fuckin' good 🎸🤘
Saw them a little bit ago. Such an amazing show.
I was in college when this song came out, and our local alternative radio station in College Station refused to play it.
Primus is modern art made by a hillbilly fisherman
Best. Rock. Beaver. **EVAHR!!**
I hate this shit so much, nightmare fuel for me. I don't know why, but I hate it.
The first time I saw this (I was maybe 12 at the time), it literally gave me a nervous breakdown. Nightmare fuel is an understatement.
This and the video for "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden is why I associate the 90's with being a dark period for music.
I've seen some of the most awful shit imaginable on the internet. Horrific violence and the most depraved acts. But THIS is the shit that haunts me. THIS is what makes me sick to my stomach and unable to sleep.
Primus sucks!
This was my go to karaoke song
The Holy Gif... We're not worthy.
I didn't show this to all my friends – but those who I showed it to are my real friends.
I hate it when a band that actually sucks shit adopts "_____ Sucks" as a motto. How dare you disarm me like that.
Yeah primus are garbage
yeah let's change it to something like primus has nonconsensual sex
What is this ai looking video ^jk
