He hasnt done heroine in like 20 years. He's got his shit together. He's an excellent drummer. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheFtremblay379]

less than 1 minute before he farts on El Hefe. lol

[@brandonstephens7877]

Linoleum is the song to my 20’s... and half my 30’s. Big Pants Small Wheels. It’s engrained in you at birth the mindset of a skateboarder. Never considered myself punk but sure was easier on the ears than Kenny G or that white Canadian rapper that looks like a To Catch a Predator episode

[@mentalfatal9727]

Oh god, another one that wants to try and define "real punk"

[@boyblueNJ]

Every NOFX interview should be like this.

[@TranzparentMethods]

Erik's like "I FART in your general direction"...

[@ChargedCovers]

I like the part where Smelly expresses his feelings about this video... 02:53

[@twofacemusic6157]

[@rngwrm]

she / he / it is stalking you, but from years in the past. it's still a solid legal defense, but w/ your help, it won't be much longer.

I liked the video just because of that. That's the only reason.

OK, his name is Smelly, so we probably should have expected that.

[@SparkyMcKlein]

His name is actually Erik, this interview is the only thing that's Smelly……just sayn.

[@joshwalters6959]

& they call him smelly because of the farts he had while he was on acid, & there are 2 ppl named eric in the band

[@SparkyMcKlein]

This is true but they even call him Eric in the song "NoFX Theme" "that's eric our drummer, his father's a plumber"

[@honey7809]

Too many Eric's, and that's not punk. But having too many is.

I hella fucking laughed at Mels response to his name. These guys are funny and a talented band in my opinion. And Smellys reaction was classic a well put.

You guys don't get it, this is a satire.

[@Skulls123go]

It's satire but trying WAYYYYYY too hard to be satire.

[@TheWisestWizards]

It's a laugh riot.

[@traceyblades9788]

I agree with TheWisestWizards on this one. Calm down people. It's funny, because it's supposed to be funny. I'm sure they helped add to the questions as much as they could without being dicks. Smelly loved it! He's smiling the whole time except when he's not supposed to be ( heroin question).

[@Skulls123go]

Something JUST CAN'T be funny it actually has to be funny....like Oh hey this family lost their home in a tornado..THAT'S FUNNY RIGHT CAUSE I SAY IT IS!!!!??? This just really isn't funny...like I see what she's trying to do and I see how it's trying to come across...it's just not funny.

[@TheWisestWizards]

My comment about this video being a satire was also a satire.

[@VINCEGOESFISHING]

How did that happen? HA! I loved it

Never road a skateboard but I still listen to punk. By the way I think Smelly said all he had to say when he let one rip.

[@constantexpected]

I'm glad everyone on KZbin is so fucking high brow for this satire video. I mean, really, it makes me so fucking excited to see how we've all become so much better than videos like this, and to show our elitism we piss and moan about the video and make it quite obvious how much it sucks, how much better our humor is than it. Not unlike rich, spoiled, snobby kids you just want to knock the fuck out and watch their limp bodies not move and stay silent long enough at least until the cop drags you into the cruiser, because by then the drugs are on full tilt and you aren't based in reality anymore. So in conclusion: NOFX good, KZbin critics bad - still the bottom of the barrel, scum of the Earth, etc, etc..
