‘Gangnam Style’ parody targeting Jim Harbaugh may be the worst video of 2012

Bay Area Sports Guy December 21, 2012

Since you surely aren’t tired of “Gangnam Style” yet, some morning zoo host in Seattle has a special treat for you. And it’s quite possibly the most aggressively unfunny thing produced in 2012.

While most 49ers fans consider Pete Carroll slimy and mildly annoying, Seahawks fans hate Jim Harbaugh. That probably explains how this video has more thumbs up than down on YouTube, although it might also be because not many people other than Seahawks fans have seen it.

Some show called “Mitch in the Morning” on 950 AM KJR put together this “song,” which pokes fun at Harbaugh for being pompous, wearing a black sweatshirt tucked into khakis and being a “horse’s ass” and a “douchebag.”

It sounds like Mitch Levy is coming up with these lyrics off the top of his head, and I don’t mean that in a good way. Watch this if you hate music and comedy.

Seahawks need a team to hate again! Got moved from AFC to NFC and the division has been weak until the last couple years and seems like no rivalry. Can someone say Cowboys, Redskins or Packers, Bears? Kudos to Mitch for getting the ball rolling and helping Seahawks fans give the city and an awesome franchise something to HATE again! Nothing better than the 49er's and Doucebag Harbaugh! GO RAVENS!! Crush the Forty Whiners!!

Video was hilarious. JB is truly a DB. And to all the Niner fans saying the Hawks can't beat the Niner's, what happened last Sunday? Fluke? HAhahaha Hawks BARELY lost the first meeting this year and absolutely destroyed the Niner's last week. Good luck in the playoffs.

I once again stand corrected... it wasn't Kap picking up his teeth, it was Vernon... Nice showing from the "best team" in football!! Hopefully you guys can suck it up and not embarrass yourselves against the Cards... Wait??? I hope not! #GOSEAHAWKS! #DOUCHBAGHARBAUGHSTYLE

@rkoutwmyhwkout - Niners played horrible. Seahawks didn't need it but got the help from the officials - the number of white jerseys being pulled was amazing, DBs with more than incidental contact in the end zone, etc. Be proud to win without class. Hopefully Seahawks can win on the road without the officials help and their PED cheaters....................... Knowing Carroll the Hawks probably have bounties and are proud of them

Not funny

Lindsey

I'm sorry but this was pretty funny! Not a fan of either team but stay up to date on my football but I was rather amused with the "congratulations you're a douchebag sign that popped up now and then. Admittedly, not a fan of either Carroll or harbaugh.

I'm not gonna say its classless or anything. Harbaugh has done plenty to deserve this stuff. My issue is that this really isn't very clever or funny

rkoutwmyhwkout

Harbaugh can coach thats about it, he is a PR nightmare and a complete douchebag... Oh, and note to self... it's "Gangham Style"... who edits your blow hard articles? #GOSEAHAWKS #12THMAN

BASG

Blowhard is one word, and you might want to do a little research before correcting people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0 The video only has a billion views, so I can see how you you might have missed it.

rkoutwmyhwkout

I stand corrected. Your infinite wisdom has taken me to school... Still doesn't change the fact you are a blow hard, just solidifies my choice not to make a living as an editor...

Niner Fan

I see that rkoutwmyhwkout is a Saints fan too - nice sportsmanship - picking teeth out of turf - not As a niner fan and NFL fan I hope for a good if not great game - one that neither team gets any injuries in.

We will see who the real maroon is when Kap is picking his teeth out of the turf at Century Link.

Niner Fan

Yo rkoutwmyhwkout - since you like youtube videos we found one that describes you from Bugs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Kh7nLplWo Merry Christmas

Niner Fan

Funny - There is much more material out there on Carroll (USC NCAA penalties for what happened on his watch, GB game , running it up, talk about a cry baby, etc) for a silicon valley retort. And if either looks like an elf its Pete - may not even need the ears

Dale

The video is classless. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Harbaugh or Carroll neither of them deserve something as demeaning as this, especially one their children, family and friends can view. Lost respect for those Seattle fans that find this amusing.

Tod

More than a little ironic that such a mean-spirited video is used to describe what they see as a mean-spirited guy. Whatever happened to good natured ribbing?

Fitz's Future Unemployment Check

I love a good parody, but honestly this mostly sounds bitter and not all that funny. This reminds me of George Takei at William Shatner's roast.

Niner's Girl

It will be really funny Sunday night when Niner's clobber Seattle. Harbaugh is the Best Coach in the NFL. Video was dumb.

ron berman

Dumb. Great motivational video for Niners .

Impurvious Short

Bad parody. I guess parody videos are what you do when you can't beat a team. I don't hate Pete Carroll, he's a good coach and Seattle/Niners is turning into a damn good rivalry. Go Niners.

TommyJ

Gangnam-Style+Morning Zoo=Dumpster fire.

Conor

"While most 49ers fans consider Pete Carroll slimy and mildly annoying" Is this true? I hate Pete Carroll more than any coach in the NFL. I can't even stand to look at his smarmy face on the sideline for more than a second. I suppose I thought everyone else felt the same way. I'd be interested to see a poll regarding this.

Mitch

JH is good, but this is still funny!

Redwood Al

I'll Have to agree with this video

Interesting that they would throw "running up the score" in there after Pete Carroll's play calling last week...

Chris

This is great. This video in and of itself, concept and execution, shows how much the Seahawks and their fanbase are threatened by Harbaugh.

Pat

The Niners must be really good for them to hate Harbaugh that much

quentin

it dont get any better than this

Larry Hennig

It was amusing for something radio hosts did. I'm guessing that you don't like it because of being a niners fan boy. It's ok to laugh at it and still love your team and coach.
