TMBG Theme Song Meh-ta Video Contest
4By now the servers have probably recovered enough to give you a chance to hear our brand-new theme song by They Might Be Giants — isn’t it catchy? — and watched the video of Irk hearing it for the first time.
Next-level Meh-heads are now invited to make their own videos of themselves watching Irk’s video! What’s the point? We dunno. Does everything have to have a point?
Irk will pick his favorite next week, and one lucky participant will be featured in a weekend Meh video (so you know it'll be good).
That’s the only prize, if “prize” is even the right word for it. Post your submissions in this thread!

Up first, watch Mediocre Labs watch Irk listen to the new Meh theme song:
Thanks to all of the Mediocre staff that participated and special thanks to @ChadP for directing, lighting, filming, and editing.
@JonT It's METH! Yea!!!!
You had a director for that?
@phatmass But it was beautiful editing. Just tastefully done.
@phatmass They were so busy directing this, they forgot to make sure the site didnt die.
The blonde on the left seemed way too in to it, being a Meh employee...
@BillLehecka I thought the same thing
@BillLehecka we'll have a talk with her about that
@katylava give us her naaaaame!
@chellemonkey stalker
@Thumperchick no I only stalk @matthew ....besides aren't you the one taking snacks from one employee to another on your stalking rounds?
@chellemonkey That's... different. I'm like an intern, that they didn't ask for, certainly didn't hire, and can't quite get rid of, but they haven't called the cops yet either.
Anyone else feel like that would have perfectly turned into a Harlem Shake video?
@Cinoclav Yes. Being behind the camera I expected it to break out at any moment.
@Cinoclav That was my expectation as well
@ChadP I think it needs to be done.
@Cinoclav Yep I was waiting for it. I was disappointed again....meh...
Let me guess. The blonde on the left works in HR.
@phatmass no... do we even have HR?
@katylava It's MR. Meh Resources.
I like the tall guy in the back with the arms. I don't know if it is the angle or the lighting or so many people around but his arms seem crazy long. (dear sir, please don't be offended)
@chellemonkey He's like 8ft tall. That's why.
@hart Always gotta have that guy to pull the wrong headphones off the top shelf in the warehouse...
@hart It did look like he was in danger of knocking the acoustic panels up into the drop ceiling.
Jesus Christ that's a shitload of people just to sell me 1 thing a day.
@Bingo What ? Did you expect all these idiotic experiments would run themselves ?
There are about 20-25 people in that mehta-meh video. Assuming Meh's product cost is 90% of its revenue, and that they average $150,000 a week in sales, that's $30,000-40,000 per employee before any other expenses. Even if you triple the revenue and double the margin, it's "only" $234,000 or so per head.
I guesstimate that they'd need at least $240,000 in per-capita net revenue just to stay afloat.
Tell your friends about meh before it's gone.
@JerseyFrank Their servers can't handle my friends.
@hallmike tell your friends the switchover is 1am eastern and they'll be fine
@JerseyFrank Your math forgot to include Mediocre Labs income from B2B sales, storage, and shipping. They also work with other wholesalers. IIRC. I think that's what pays salaries and keeps lights on, and why they can afford to build meh and cut such tight margins here.
Can we get a download of the song to use for creating contest entries? :)
@CapitalQ If you haven't already seen, there's a download available in the RFC topic.
@phatmass That is the cutest thing EVER! Lock this thread and declare the winner now.
