"Oh well!" I love how he just accepts his fate at that point. Not the worst outcome.

[@raymondfisheriii791]

Thing is, that might’ve actually broken the curse afterwards. It’s either that, or “don’t talk shit about other people’s wishes when you’re in wishing range”. Can’t be “be careful what you wish for” because that’s what he was ranting about before he ended up cursing himself

[@globurim]

To be fair, there's not really that much of a detriment into loving this band. He IS enjoying himself after all.

[@SGR403]

That animation of Alex smashing the pendant was really good.

[@disturbdeddoggo9526]

Satisfying as heck

[@GemSurge95]

As well as whatever music was playing with it.

[@devantemungin7060]

Smashing the pendant did work, but the "damage" was already done.

[@nefariosgliscor]

He "Smash"ed the pendant.

[@Ishtarru]

I wonder what lesson he was supposed to learn besides "don't say 'I wish' while holding a magic amulet."

[@Hiro_Ramone]

Maybe it was that The Offspring FUCKING RULES!

[@Inferno65]

I think it was "Look up the name of every band you might accidentally reference in casual conversation."

1:05 Oh my god the slow head movement upwards is so funny to me

[@adampkalb]

This is why I think the Weird Kid is Close Enough's funniest episode. Alex inadvertently wishes he was emotionally closer to the Offspring, but instead of kids, it made him emotionally closer to a band called The Offspring. That was a really clever twist when I did not know what else "offspring" could mean. Another really funny bit was *(SPOILER)* when Candice repeated the thing Ethan said about parents rubbing butts together from Sauceface, and when Emily grew back to her adult size after Alex smashed the pendant, and Candice saw Emily's butt because kid-sized Emily was only wearing her shirt the whole time.

[@dontkickmychick6076]

Doesnt seem like it, just appears to be mocking their fans more than the band themselves, particularly the super fans who wont shut up about it type people

[@PurpledaisyShasta]

I always found the song they used in this episode creepy and off putting. I can’t explain why

[@ianr7014]

@@PurpledaisyShasta It’s supposed to be off putting. The whole album revolves around criticizing different aspects of American culture and politics, and this song in particular is about a white dude who thinks he’s cool but is actually a huge, huge loser.

[@Hiro_Ramone]

I guess the intention of the episode is not to diss on The Offspring, is just that Alex in particular isn't a fan of 90's rock, so of course being cursed to like it is off putting to him at first.

[@Jigwally]
