Episode 8: 50 Ways to Make Me Laugh
This bizarre music video has quite a motley crew. Also, there are only 11 ways to say goodbye instead of 50. False advertising at its finest.
David Hasselhoff:
After standing around looking confused the whole video (as you probably were too), Hoff thought “well that was weird” and never appeared in another Train music video again. He doesn’t even remember how he met Pat Monahan or why he showed up to this. Maybe he imagined the whole thing like that time he let a sponge and starfish ride his back. Years later, he would eventually show off his singing talents in a much better song.
The Mariachi Trio:
The Mariachi Trio were not compensated enough for their fantastic performance here, so they moved to Tentacle Acres where they would form a musical rivalry with the area’s Clarinet Trio.
The Cashier:
After this life changing experience, The Cashier bragged to his friends that he met Pat Monahan, to which they replied “who?” He would eventually quit this barely minimum wage job and would apply for jobs at locations Train music videos take place in, hoping to meet the band again. He never did.
The Grim Reaper:
After realizing Pat gave him the wrong items, the Reaper attempted to steal his soul, but it turns out Pat radiates such an uncanny aura that his soul cannot be taken. The Reaper is then trapped in You Can Finally Meet My Mom for all eternity, stealing celebrity souls for Pat’s death note list. A fate worse than death.
The Lion:
The Lion was not happy about his short screentime despite what Pat initially promised. He also didn’t get to actually eat anyone, lame. Years later, the lion lended his talents as Mufasa for the Lion King (2019) remake. His stunning delivery of “Simbuhh, *cough* you can’t escape your destiny!” was seen as a memorable career ending performance. He is currently unsure if he regrets that or this more.
Wait, this isn’t Characters in Train Music Videos: Where Are They Now? Oops. Help me help me, I’m no good at goodbyes.
