CARCASS PLAY WEDDINGS

 Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 at 5:00pm by

Not really, of course – but these clips from old episodes of Friends, sent to us by MetalSucks maniac Daisy May Twinklepants, would suggest otherwise:

Alas, I’m not aware of any metal band called “Karcass” with a “k”…

Of course, this isn’t the first crappy NBC sitcom to reference metal: Scrubs once (kinda infamously) misidentified DevilDriver as “speed metal”:

    Ok, got to say this… Scrubs kicks ass.

    I personally like Friends too, but I understand that a lot of metal fans wouldn’t.

  • palinaborted

    I gotta agree with Josh. Scrubs is the shit. Friends…not so much.

  • Damotello

    Father Ted is hands down the best show ever, pure brilliance. Also I’m sure the writers of friends weren’t aware that there was actually a band called Carcass either.

    Scrubs=awesome.

    ^^What he said. Friends might be kinda gay, but Scrubs kicks ass.

    Granted it’s not It’s Always sunny in philadelphia.

    A while back Invisible Oranges posted a great list of the top 5 metal TV cameos, and wouldn’t you know it, Bill Steer and Jeff Walker show up on an episode of the British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf. Check out the clips:

    Dude, thank you. While, I never caught the Carcass reference in Friends, I’ve seen that episode of Scrubs a million times and could never figure out the song.

  • niggaplease

    Scrubs stopped being watchable after the second season.

    The fuck is wrong with some of you? (Although the general bad tatse in media would explain all the Lamb of God worship)

    Friends sucked, but I will kill a man to have Carcass play my wedding.

  • d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n.

    Not even the almighty Carcass can salvage the bile that is “Friends”.

    You guys are forgetting the grandfather of all death metal props in mainstream television!

    I fucking hate that one Scrubs gag… literally every idiot Scrubs-torrenting hipster I know re-enacts it whenever I mention anything vaguely related to metal. Even worse, they now associate metal with DevilDriver.

  • jonowev

    I bet Phoebe would really like Cattle Decapitation…

  • tyler09

    I just saw that scrubs episode like two days ago. I have to admit Friends is kinda funny. By the way, what DevilDriver song is that?

    There’s an old Red Dwarf, where they travel back in time and Lister sees himself as a young man. In his old band, Jeff Walker is playing bass :)

    tyler09:

    that’s DevilDriver song is “the devil’s son”, I think.

    It would be cool if the actual metal band appeared in the show. Like the one that Mustaine had in the Drew Carey show, or Anthrax in Married with children.

  • logs/faskings

    I THINK MIGUEL IS A PURE HOCKEYSTAIN. THANKS. LOGS/FASKINGS

  • Tyler

    That’s pretty awesome. Already knew about the Scrubs bit, but Friends, unexpected. Cool.
