Mr. Chav vs. Pop Will Eat Itself

Posted on April 23, 2010 by Kris Nelson

They call this rolypoly guy Mr. Chav, but his vocab’s too polysyllabic to be chav… plus he’s knotted up about littering! The g-awful Burberry hat (and all of its g-awful connotations) is a nice touch, though. The animation is by WonChop and the tunes supplied by MrWeebl of Badgers! and Narwhals fame.

American pronunciation is so boring. We don’t say “fantastic” with flair like Mr. Chav. Even “waahaareyashtoopid” sounds better when Mr. Chav says it.

The bugger’s bossy drawl reminds me of Clint Mansell from Pop Will Eat Itself — one of my fave bands in High School and still today.

**SIDE NOTE: I wrote this post last year, but forgot about it until this month, when congruently, MrWeebl posted a spiffy new HD version. Cooool.
