Say, here’s a good meme: folks on the internet are editing the chorus of budding teen-pop superstar and The Office-superfan Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” to good and fun effect. Right when Eilish finishes her “might seduce your dad type/ I’m the bad guy” lyric, the meme version cuts from Eilish to a clip of someone who is notably not Eilish, followed by Eilish delivering a blasé “duh.” And then there is dancing. It is simple and good. Here, just check it out for yourself:
See? That’s Chris Evans they put in there! Fun! Alright, who else can the internet shove into this song? Dennis and Charlie from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? You bet!
Throw in Ricky Bobby’s kids from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby? You betcha.
Is it really a meme without The Simpsons involved? No, of course not.
Here’s one with a soccer guy. Presumably this makes sense “across the pond.”
Star Wars? We got original trilogy and prequels.
You get the picture. Great job to everyone involved in today’s most pressing non-Chernobyl meme endeavor, and congratulations to you for having this very good song stuck in your head now.

I hope you never have license to “write” another “article” for AV.Club.
IDK, it’s still a better article than Sploid ever had. Sometimes the entire article would just be a broken hyperlink and comments were turned off.that being said….BRING BACK VALLEYWAG.
I hope you never “comment” on another “article” for AV.Club.
Ugh, Billie Eilish fans are the worst.
Ugh, people who bring nothing to their comments but silly-ass bitching are the worst.
Literally like 90% of your comments are silly-ass bitching.
Literally like is a shit way to begin a sentence.
Literally like 91% of your comments are silly-ass bitching.
You’re welcome for the attention.
RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
AV Club wants me to be obsessed with Billie Eilish, and Pitchfork wants me to be obsessed with Clairo.
I just don’t know how to make up my mind without a minimally-accoladed writer adjudicating my “taste”. Which teenager am I supposed to be obsessed with?
Charo’s not a teenager.
You’re not great with spelling.
You’re not great with not bitching.

AV Club wants me to be obsessed with Billie Eilish
https://www.avclub.com/tag/billie-eilishHuh. Four articles in two months. That’s a fucking deluge right there, boy howdy.
“AV Club wants me to be obsessed”This excuse didn’t work for David Berkowitz, so I have no idea why you think it’s going to work for you.“I just don’t know how to make up my mind without a minimally-accoladed writer adjudicating my “taste”.”Yeah, that’s not news.
Who are you sticking up for, exactly?
What made you think I was?
Your overwrought response to my comment. If you’re trying for a killer beatdown, keep going!
‘overwrought’Wait, are we talking about your mating call or the bit about Berkowitz?‘If you’re trying for a killer beatdown’Ah, I think I’ve found your problem. That’s not what’s happening here.
What’s happening here, Captain Splendid?
I’ll make you a deal. You answer my question, I’ll answer yours.
Sounds about right.
We love the new Billie Eilish album, and here’s why you should, too.

Sir, this is a car wash
…i don’t get the joke
That’s because there isn’t one.
I found that a subscription to ‘Sensible Chuckle’ magazine helped put things like this into perspective.
It’s a meme, so it’s either:a) a joke not worth explainingb) the next brainchild from the chuds at 8chan
The CHADS. Did you not read the cross-posted article about incel’s getting plastic surgery from some dude in Indiana?
That’s okay, not everyone can be funny. The world needs ditch diggers too.
I don’t know, I kind of like these. They don’t have the snark that most memes seem to carry these days. I smiled. Job well done!
It’s reminiscent of The Harlem Shake, the good old days of memes of the non-dank variety.
I could only get through the first three before I could no longer stand to see the blood-smearing part
Numerous other sites are making fun of this article.all of them
No, I don’t think I will, thanks.
I know this is old-man-yells-at-cloud-esque, but she’s one of the first popular products of a generation that is saturated in endlessly self-referential, banal, & fleeting internet content and I just do not connect with it at all
It’s been a meme for a few months now and I can’t stand this song so I hate it when it pops up.
