When you combine elderly people and indie rock, you get hilarious memes. That’s just science. Scrapple.tv‘s Breakfast At Sulimay’s is a Web video series in which three seasoned listeners critique a wide range of recent tracks at a Philadelphia diner. It’s been around for several years (here they review the Thermals’ “Pillar Of Salt”) but is all over my RSS this week since the kids at Collected Animals caught the “My Girls” segment in Episode 16. Ann, Joe, and Bill are not fans. “This group is not gonna get very far from Baltimore, Maryland.”
First up is Young Jeezy. AC comes two minutes in…
If you like that, you’ll love “The Real Housewives Of New York Noise” reviewing the “Water Curses” video.
Grandmas say the darnedest things.

haha, i didnt expect them to get “my girls” if they dig young jeezy.
these old people would *love* Veckatimest!
ps- i don’t believe that this Grandma loved Young Jeezy.
Dude, she totally had swagger. I was ready for her to spit a few.
this made my day
Their faces at 2:49 are PRICELESS.
That’s pretty much the response from everyone at my work when I was playing MPP in the break room.
Apparently I’m 60 years old because I feel the same way about MPP.
Get off my lawn, you damn kids!
Next up: Tim and Eric review Wavvves.
This was hilarious!
Of course old folks won’t like MPP, ataris were past beyond their youth! Play them Crystal Castles or any other bands doing the 8-bit thing, they’ll say the same.
i really liked the social commentary of the old man about the rapper and the “Ghetto Connection”. Spot on old folk!
LOL, I’m in my 40s; this made me feel young again.
I like Thin Mints, too, adorable old guy!!!
But I also like AC.
And how is young jeezy not as repetitious as AC?
NOTHING is as repetitive as Animal Collective. God, I hate this band. I don’t know what it says that I agree with a bunch of old folks, but man, I don’t care. I don’t get how anyone can physically handle the experience of listening to MPP.
dude, i know. don’t you just want to put on some Dragonforce and relax. listen to some bros hit as many notes in 5 minutes as possible.
that’s the shit.
(sarcastic comment response #2)
you’re not doing enough drugs.
May I be the first to say Those Old Folks > Pitchfork
haha they’re so much less cool than us
I agree with the old man on the right…thin mints are dope! Jeezy is not.
WTF? Everybody loved MPP when it came out. Where are its defenders now? Must we all follow such a herd mentality?
What’s that? I can’t hear you over this giant Franz Ferdinand Ipod ad that won’t close on my screen.
And just when I was going to share the video, it’s no longer available.
When I’m 80 I hope I am as with it as the old guy on the right.
did they use the girl scout cookies to lure these old people in?
this is hilarious, but who really expect any elderly person to enjoy animal collective… my parents hear my girls and wer elike this is just like OMD, i almost cried… MPP still kicks ass
Please tell me you didn’t just diss one of the greatest of the new wave era bands.
They should review Xiu Xiu.
next review: Wolves In The Throne Room – Black Cascade. I loved the Harvey Milk one.
it would be funny to try out the same concept with homeless crackheads
but… they would probably take the girl scout cookies and bail
Yeah, Brian, sing it! Animal Collective suck, and “My Girls” is a horrendously repetitive pointless piece of shit. I know they’re very old people, but this is the general reaction you’d get from the average human being if you played them Animal Collective. I wish “the blogosphere” would go outside and get out of their insular, confused shitworld. The end.
that feel good?
love me some AC. usually around 72 degrees.
i think the old lady had a stroke as soon as she hear the intro arpeggio.
i think it’s a good song, but i can understand how lots of people, old or otherwise, might disagree. what i dont understand is why people need to constantly trash animal collective on blogs and stuff.
immediately apparent: those old people understand animal collective better than pitchfork does
I think those old people would have liked “Summertime Clothes” but really, why do we care who likes what?
the vidoes are gone
love me some animal collective, but this is just funny…. MPP is fantastic all around….not sure what is up with all of the negativity on these boards…sort of pointless…Grizzly bear do sound like music for old people (as much as I love ‘em)
anco separates uptight unimaginative boring people from folks who can chill out and respect a sick groove when they hear it… aka the good from the bad.
their indie cred just went right out the window
Dude! Getting reviewed along with Girl Scout cookies by three people who probably stopped buying music before the cassette and 8 track were invented. I can imagine no other way to be more indie.
PS Somoa cookies deserve some lovin’.
Well, now we know why rap CDs sell so well: old people!
They would probably love the Jonas Brothers.
I felt the same way about AC as the old folks *before* MPP, and now I’m a fan. What demographic does that put me in? (Cue a Beach Boys joke)

4real, I love animal collective, but their fans need to CHILL OUT. they are DEFINITELY one of the most repetative bands around–if you can’t admit that you are foolin yourself. they are still great tho
this is amazing fun, i want more reviews like this.
The only thing my grandparents like from my music collection is The Sea & Cake.
They should review the songs of the first record on Animal Collective xD, the old man of the right would die I think.
And why the people say the they might be repetitive like a necessarily a bad thing? They are repetitive on purpose, like a minimalistic style, you don’t have to like but you miss the point too.
Ha! Awesome
that is absolutely hysterical. those faces are priceless!
Ann’s a bitch
Haha, what is really sad is that i agree with the old woman! I like Animal Collectives sound, but every damn song is like 2-3 minutes too long. its just so much repetition in all their songs. they need to take a Ramones mindset and start kicking out like 1:30 to 3:00 tracks. in that much time, repetition is ok. thats what the Ramones proved.
eh? I personally think the repetition/repetition in each song is awesomely Animal Collective. And it makes me listen to the whole album straight through (’cause its that good) and not go back and listen to the same 1:55 song over and over and over. I guess its not good or bad, but its Animal Collective.
i love philly accents. youz aren’t gawna get fawr from baldymorr…
I love the video where they review Danielson (ep 14, I think). Their faces of genuine alarm are fucking priceless, along with Ann’s repeating of “is this a Sesame Street song?” And Joe is my favorite rambling senior citizen. Among all the random stuff that comes out of his mouth you’ll find quite a lot of gems. He knows what’s up.
The gunshots are music to her ears? She is so gangsta. I want her to be my grandma.
they work in rolling stone
they work in rolling stone
yeah animal collective is boring. i tried to like them back in high school 5 years ago, but they were even more boring back then. they got more money, better equipment, and they’re still more boring than those old people.
^ someone pee in his butt
Me and Nana burned one down to Here Comes the Indian.
Funneh
Dude. These guys rule .Go to their website – they have reviews of The Walkmen, Danielson, Ting Tings, Sepultura, Bjork, Cold War Kids, Beck and Kings of Leon. You’ll be surprised. It’s also cool just to see how far removed from 1930s-1940s culture we are. These guys are baffled by a simple fuzzed guitar talking about white noise as if they’ve heard it for the first time. Makes you think how far we’ve come since Psychocandy in the 1980s
very cool.
The Harvey Milk episode is indeed amazing.

Old People Tear Animal Collective a New Asshole
They should have administered some lysergic acid two hours before putting on “My Girls”. Their faces would have melted off.
Hopefully these old timers will help to finally usher in the long overdue AC backlash.
My mom said the same thing. She called them “Phillip Glass rock’n'roll.
I especially appreciated Ann’s helpful hints (“That’s the intro. It’s his intro”).
But clearly I favored the old man who really didn’t care about the music at all, and in fact only wandered in when he caught sight of the Thin Mints.
The AC backlash is so predictable, just as all the Fleet Foxes trashing was after it was PF’s album of the year. So will all the Grizzly Bear fans hate them after PF gives it a 9.4? MPP > this thread of comments.
Why ask questions you already know the answers to?
This is hilarious. But…was there a part in the Yung Jeezy song that said. “if you’re talkin bout tillapia?” I hope so.
Nothing gets the girls like a nice fish!
I love Joe, I could keep him in my pocket!
this is brilliant, kudos to scrapple.tv who I’m sure is now making bank from the hits
Haha, it’s funny because I pretty much agree with them. I am old.
whaa??
“this video is no longer available”!!!!???
ahhhhhhhhh! i wanted to see…
3:45
that and 2:45-2:51. they are Philly’s finest. fishtown represent!
what a bling bling granny!!
This website makes me not like Animal Collective and I don’t want to not like Animal Collective…
I’m a little curious about what the oldest one’s version of “My Girls” would sound like.
HAHA, old people be trippen.
Repetition = Bad?
As if Dean Martin, country western, and swimg music weren’t repetitious. Good music has repetitive themes. Period.
And this iis nothing more than the primordial old not understanding the young. Someday my grandkids will like some absolutely amazing band, but it will be all lost on me as I just ramble on about thin mints and how they don’t make good music anymore. Back in my day we had Animal Collective… now that was how music was meant to be made.
“That’s an assassination, its music to my ears.”
I think we need to talk grandma
Ann, I think your comments are getting a bit repetitious
Aka repetitive
This could be the best idea for a music critic show ever! They should do the opposite as well and have kids review too (you know Joe would be down for that idea)
hahahahah “repititious”.
If improper grammar is her thing then it’s no big surprised she preferred young jeezy.

God, this is really disappointing! Why does everyone suddenly hate AC? If this particular genre isn’t what you like, then fine whatever. Don’t go around on here and completely trash them. There are a lot of artists that are just fucking jokes but i’m not going to sit around and think of everything bad i could possibly say about them….
