What is more Alt: Where the Wild Things Are OR Gooby?

I think that this summer is supposed to be all about 'getting back to nature' and accepting the fact that there are monsters in the wilderness, or something. Maybe the monsters are some sort of 'metaphor' for what is inside of us.

I recently saw the trailer for the hit film GOOBY, and wondered if it was supposed to overshadow Spike Jonze's new film Where the Wild Bros Are.

I think it might be trying to appeal to alternative audiences. Not sure which monster/creature movie I will support.

Who would I rather chill with?
Gooby?

Or 'a wild thing'?

Not sure who I should chill with. Think that 'Wild Things' are already a timeless lifestyle brand. Like the Beatles of creatures, or something. I think that WildThingAlts might already exist.

Wouldn't mind 'doing it' with this broad/sharing some milk with her.

Might listen to bangers with this WildAltBro.

But Gooby seems like a bro who you could just blaze with, and chill pretty hard.

Probably could just warm up some DiGiorno/Freschetta/Tombstone pizzas, but some Ben & Jerry's, lite up some bowls, and just 'get fucking ripped', then laugh all night watching episodes of The Office. U would just kinda fall asleep without even realizing it, then wake up, smoke some dank, then go to McDonalds for McGriddles, then possibly spend all day playing frisbee golf.

Not sure if I should 'partie' with Wild Things Bros, or just try to be a GoobyBro. Not sure 'what my monster brand' is.

streetheat's picture

gooby looks as though he would definitely touch inappropriately at all times, always.

adelaide's picture

hahaha gooby.

looks like some kindof of cult-hit-meme i missed from mid-eighties (via being only sw33t 16) but then tried to relive with my unique bros by making it my msn dp and smugly referring to it in convos with 'normal' people.

miss u tween days ignorant sense of superiority

Erin's picture

@top ramen,

reminds me of my childhood too - no friends and playing with stuffed animals

jett payjack's picture

gooby seems more appealing brand to an entrylevel altbr0, but then again wild things has obvs been 'embraced' by the 5%alts

uglygirlzarntpeople's picture

there's a porous line somewhere between charming imaginary friend names and ethnic slurs

musical chains's picture

i couldnt even watch that first trailer cause the pictures scared the shit out of me

andy's picture

Sasquatch FTW

draculas's picture

@andy,

Was Puff the Magic Dragon alt?

andy's picture

@draculas,

naw Puff was just a stoner bro

to lazy to be a trend setter

Sasquatch was the OG bearded bro

draculas's picture

@andy,

I bet Harry knew who the next AnCo was before AnCo existed. It's those animal 'instincts' etc.

emle's picture

so over ur blog crls-- playbouy averts r teh most mnstream thign evr. yr not alt nemore. dont want to share virtual space with stoopid bros who dont no how 2 fuck.

alternalt's picture

gooby automatically loses for using comic sans in the credits/titles

runningcolors's picture

@alternalt, HAHAH agreed. i feel like this trailer was made by some entry-level altbro in high school who just enrolled in film class because it looked 'chill' and he could express his zany brand through a 'meaningful' short film.

r4ph431's picture

i'm not down to smoke with a weirdo pedo bear *~*

flampy's picture

@flampy,

Sounds like a term for some sort of peanut butter fetish to me.

Pyry's picture

There seems to be a lot of screaming in the movie Gooby according to the popular Youtube viral meme video Gooby Trailer 1. I do not consider myself to be a part of the heavy metal/emo/screamo demographic, so the movie Gooby doesn't appeal to me.

damn's picture

will probs win an oscbro

Monk's picture

I will support both, Where the Wild Things Are because it was my favorite childhood book, Gooby for the fact that Eugene Levy is in it haha.

monster's picture

Bradford Cox from Deerhunter helped Karen O with the soundtrack for the Wild Things Are, which makes automatically more awesome

pfft's picture

@monster, thats actually sweet

ksdqxwzkj's picture

where the wild things are FTW this gooby chap scared the shit out of me.

unouomedude's picture

i'm sure gooby was being post-ironic by using comis sans.

Drew's picture

I completely agree that Gooby loses because of the Comic Sans titles. I'd rather comb the hair mats out of Gooby's dirty ass fur than stare at that fucking font. I'm pretty sure if I were 12 y.o. again, I would still hate Goober. Something about his face makes me want to kick out another one of his teeth.

AMANDA's picture

i just imDb-ed the goobs and it is a real movie. carles i thought you made this shit up,

anonymous's picture

@AMANDA,
me too. it just seemed like a spoof of the wild things. I just find it hard to trust carles. Also the trailer seemed really crappily made, which didn't help.

AMANDA's picture

@anonymous,
i can't wait to see this movie in the theaters now. pretty low budge!

E's picture

h8 gooby ya'll!
