  • This is great!
  • #PostalServiceAuditions Weird Al and Moby's covers are the best.
  • <3
  • hahahaha, moby, the new GG Allin
  • Man, they really need to get back together. After the mediocrity that was Codes and Keys, it'd be nice to see some Gibbard/Tamborello action.
  • Nates bit was the best
  • We ARE getting a full cover by Weird Al, right?
  • Moby killed it but I could watch Weird Al sing Postal Service tunes all day long.
  • I don't think Moby's therapy is working.
  • Moby as Death Grips--brilliant.
  • Hilarious. Loved Weird Al, Moby, Marc Maron, and Duff getting pissed because they didn't believe him.
  • oh man! this was amazing!
  • I have that exact boombox sitting in my garage right now
  • Duff's part made me laugh so hard! xD
  • "That's a weird name..."
  • Is the subpop guy using a Palm VII? That's awesome.
  • It's not in 2002... look for Tom!
  • This is like the auditions scene from The Producers but more rock musicians and less humor.
  • Ben Gibbard's toupee was broken.
  • This one is really good too! THanks FOD! http://FunnyOrDie.com/m/7ud9
  • Duff's comment was funny because he knew Bruce Pavitt (co-founder of Sub Pop) WAAY before GNR.
  • we REALLY need an official cover release of Clark Gable by Aimee Mann ♥ after Ben Gibbard's addition = rest is history of a fantabulous album
  • poor nate...
  • Moby stole the skit
  • I really hope they put out a new album
