Is The Name Of The New Foundation Video The Worst Name Ever? Discuss

[Lahlah]

Propeller reminds me of the Arctic Monkeys song My Propeller and being a Vans video I subconsciously link them and the UK together because of Rowley. I think it's a good name.

Bag of Suck is hands down the best name for a video.

As a kid the concept of Almost round 1, 2 and 3 was so sick.

Also thought Modus Operandi was a good name too

Osiris- Feed the Need
Being one of the first full length skate videos I ever watched, Corey Duffel's downhill line into the Trussel Glen area of Oakland really fucked me up. Jerry and Shuriken were stand out parts then as they are now, but after reflecting on it, the name sucks.
edit- I don't think Jerry had a full part, Shuriken's is still one of my favorites

[Manny Fapuiao]

Independent Trucks- any video

[biggietoms]

Was jerry even in feed the need at all?

[bongboarder420]

no

[Manny Fapuiao]

Jerry was not in feed the need and that is my fault gentlemen- something something nostalgia in my brain saw him do a couple tricks but im fucked
edit #4- what even is to even this thread?

For me it's "Dying to Live". Good one, dad. Sounds like a James Bond movie title except even less clever.

actually it sounds like a variant of a black sabbath song.. because it is

[close]

WELL I hate to be the NERD in the room but it is NOT a variant of "Killing Yourself To Live" - which is a common misconception.

The lyric hails from Metallica's "Trapped Under Ice" from the sophomore L.P. RIDE THE SHITENING

which was in the tumyeto tour section of nervous breakdown a couple years before dtl came out. a low point in what is otherwise a siiiiiiiick soundtrack (no way i'm the only kid who learned about syd barret from it). isuck shoulda called his vid cyanide breath mint.

Gnar'd for positivity.

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

ironically, i was just thinking to myself the other day about which company has the best track record with video titles and decided on foundation as the winner.

i think aside from 'wtf' they're all pretty good. not many brands have had that many vids without stumbling into a few lame titles.

[DCOTY]

It sounds like a name of a Stereolab song

Original Alien Workshop had some of the best names in my opinion.

Also where are you guys getting the info about this video name, I can't find it anywhere ?

Nah.

We’re gonna let that title go to “hesh law”

the last Darkstar video was called Autotelic

what does that even mean?

autotelic
/ˌɔːtə(ʊ)ˈtɛlɪk/
adjective formal

    (of an activity or a creative work) having an end or purpose in itself.

[ok boomer]

Semi-related, used to skate with this guy named Rob that had his own way of saying shit. The way he said "Foundation" came out more as "Fun-day-shin", so to the rest of this, this was an ongoing joke. 20 years later, I can't see the word without thinking "Fundation dat's l0ife". He was a really big Tom Penny fan, and would write the word "PENNY" covering the whole front left leg of his jeans.

Nah it's one of the best video titles ever. You sound like a jaded hipster or something.

Yes this is definitely a contender for worst ever

[Letsfilmavideo]

Sorry guys not another trans world video got me to skate more after I got done playing hockey as blessed love child of the mid 90s

[zeroepedition]

Worst names for skate video for me are names like Jenny, Andy or any other personal names.

Dylan.

[doublesteveburger]

fancy lad’s “is this skateboarding” wins best title

But you have to repeat it like 30 times before it really kicks in.

Let’s not forget ‘Right Foot Forward’

nah that was a vid that focused on goofy skaters, the title makes sense.

[ziggy]

Debbie Does Blockhead was false advertising, in my opinion

They didnt focus on shit, they had a line up and couldnt think of a better name, no way they set out to make an 'all goofy' movie

Elementality is pretty bad,

[zeroepedition]

eSpecial was a pretty dumb name. Like they had no creative direction.
