reel big fish 

OK..... here in the UK, we are deprived of most small bands from the US. Reel Big Fish were formed in California (I think) in the early-mid nineties (I think).

They are a highly skilled ensemble band, ska, rock and a totally wicked horn section. Aaron Barrett fronts and writes most with Scot Klopfstein, or something like that (trumpet, vocals & guitar)... Matt Wong, Bass, is God, apparently!

Surprised by the other definitions about them being really happy. Not my take on it... After slogging away and having relative success before MTV hit 'Sell Out' they appear to be rueing the past (unless this is really clever ironic self-parody). 'Cheer Up & 'We're Not Happy'.... definitely have dark edges to them about not making it and hating No Doubt (here; here) I think Aarondated the lovely Gwen Stefani - well you would be miserable wouldn't you...

Nevertheless I would pay to see them again, 3rd time. They are exceptionally entertaining.
Have you got a spare ticket to Reel Big Fish?

Nah man, they totally sold out again....(?) Kidding!

Or

Who are better than Voodoo Glowskulls, Goldfinger & Less Than Jake (sorry guys) combined?

Reel Big Fish, of course

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
