Funny / My Chemical Romance

• The entire WSOU interview is prized and oft-quoted for a reason. Also certain moments of the Life On The Murder Scene documentary. The video for "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" is likely a video composed of these.
• The following gems are from Life on the Murder Scene:
  • "It's easy, peasy, pumpkin peasy. Pumpkin pie, motherfucker!"
  • "I've been down with kickball since the third grade."
  • "I'm allowed to be sick of seeing my face because it's my fucking face!"
  • "It's for my hamster that I'm gonna buy!"
  • "I was wondering what he was doing over there, in the first place. I was like 'whoa, he’s playing weird', and when he kicked me in the balls, I was like 'What did I do?'"
  • "Mikey doesn't know what the question is, but he says the answer is yes."
  • "I have been left behind at gas stops, they'll all just, like, get in the van and drive ten miles, then I have to get on the cell phone and be like... 'Hey!' 'Hey man, wassup!' 'Missing anything?' and they'll be like, '...Aww... shit."
  • "The cool thing, I think about us is... Gerard and I, we're 27, we're sort of past the point... PHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA, look at it, I just put my hand in a cupcake!"
  • "I think we're winning, but I'm really drunk, so..."
  • "Well, on the first video, he threatened us. Said he knew where we lived... and that he'd track us down... find us... take our pets..."
  • "The biggest misconception about My Chemical Romance... is that we are vampires" and "people think we're effing loaded for some reason, just because we've got all this bling on. People think we're rich vampires."
  • "The minute you tell people you're from New Jersey, its the equivalent of telling people you just got out of jail."
  • "I like Starbucks, I know people are going to hate me for saying... (in a pained voice) it's so damn good."
• Most of this video, with special mention going to the following:
  'This is [Frank], our sweet baby'
  From offscreen: Talk to the dog, Mikey
  Mikey, immediately and deadpan: Woof. Woof! Woof?
• "Vampire Money" is already hilarious as a Take That! about being asked to do a song for Twilight, but at the end of it, Gerard realizes they're playing way too loud and apologizes. Considering the band's usual output, it's irony to the tenth degree. Also, Frank was drunk during the recording.
  • Live performances of the song often start somewhat like this, with the studio version's intro becoming hilariously exaggerated:
    Gerard: "Well, are you ready, Ray?"
    Ray: "Yeah!"
    Gerard: "How about you, Frank?"
    Frank: [unintelligible, exaggerated mumbling]
    Gerard: "How 'bout you, Mikey?"
    Mikey: [stony silence]
    Gerard: "WELL I THINK I'M ALRIGHT! 1-2-3-4!"
• "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back" is somewhere between awesome and heartwrenching, the latter thanks in no small part to Gerard's explaining that it was written in part for his then-newborn daughter. Until some of the lyrics are heard with that in mind...
  We could steal this car if your folks don't mind ^note "if your folks don't mind," he says... about himself?
  We could live forever, if you've got the time / You motherfucker!
• Cat or Dog?
• MCR were asked by Jimmy Fallon to perform on the Late Show to promote Danger Days. Of all the songs on that album they could have played on national television, for an audience largely composed of 40-50-year-olds, they picked Destroya—a throwback to their first two albums' HEAVY punk/metal original sound. It's pretty clear that Jimmy was NOT prepared for this, and the shell-shocked look on his face after the song ended has delighted many a fan.
  • You can also see the teenagers headbanging, while the main audience is dead silent.
• Jonathan Ross humiliating Bob Bryar during an interview.
