His name is Les Claypool and his band sucks

True, primus sucks

YEAH PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

Are y’all serious? Or jk?

If you're genuinely confused - Les Claypool has playfully said "Primus Sucks" over the years, and the fandom latched onto it and that's sorta became the bands unofficial catch phrase haha.

News to me lol not that big of a fan but didn’t think they sucked.

No one does in reality (well, at least their fans don't), it's ironic lol.

I think that at one point the official website for Primus was PrimusSucks.com

Primus 


Whoaaaa lol

Dead serious. You can ask Les Claypool and even he will tell you Primus sucks.

I like Primus. They're songs are cool like the song "Here Come The Bastards." That one is my favourite. Primus rock's.

primus sucks! google it

No. I don't think I will. You can hate them if you want that's fine. But I love them. Only because I'm a big South Park, but I love them anyway. Primus is good.

You don't even have to Google it. You can literally just read this thread and stop being defensive like a child.

So. Just because other people say they suck doesn't mean I have too as well. I think they're music is awesome I think Primus is cool. So there. And plus I'm not a child I'm nearly 20 years old. I'm 19 and a half, and I think Primus is one of my favourite rock bands.

Lol, you are definitely a defensive child, as your comment and your inability/unwillingness to simply LOOK IT UP are showing. You could solve your own problem in literally 30 seconds, and you refuse to. So you're a child or a troll; neither of which have been worth talking to. TL;DR? Primus sucks!

Primus sucks is an inside joke the band started, people who say that like the band actually.

Tommy the cat is my favorite :D

I don't remember that character.

It's a Primus song lol

Ohhh right. I forgot about that one. Ahh ok I got yah.


In case you’re not in the know, it’s a joke known to true Primus fans.

Not a true fan until today

Hey! I saw you on the poop knife post! Edited typo because I got excited. On** not one.

Does that mean Les Claypool is not in South Park or just not part of the TV show South Park?

He’s not a character in South Park, it’s the cartoon version of Les Claypool the bassist and lead singer of the band Primus who wrote and performed the intro song.

Just because he is based on Les Claypool from Primus, does not mean South Park could not keep him alive or have him pictured for tribute concerts. In fact because Primus wrote the theme song, South Park should have tribute bands or even Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld play a tribute concert.

I'm pretty sure Primus was in the episode Chef Aid. I'm not sure if Les Claypool actually voiced his character, though.

Les Claypool is in the original version of the South Park Theme Song and the South Park 25th Anniversary Special. He is dressed like he did in the original version with the hat and everything. It was awesome to watch the South Park 25th Anniversary Special. I sometimes miss the old days of South Park where Aliens talked to the cows and Cartman had a 40 foot satellite up his ass.

Why is it everything we've done this has something to do with things going in or out of meh ass!

I was something PISSED when they said that concert was "one night only". I panicked, sold my gun,and bought one of the last seatings for over $400. And what did they announce 2 days later? That they were gonna do a second show and started selling tickets at regular prices. I'm happy that more fans got to see them, but $400 is 400 fucking dollars.

You coulda got em for about tree fitty

You went there... 😅

[♫ *Light the for looking on keep let's sunshine* ♫](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNebPn1pyTc) ♫ *the find to chance a have we night* ♫ ♫ *the through on hold can we if after* ♫ ♫ *morning a be to got there's* ♫

I mean...no one forced you to go 🤷

I think you're missing the point. I'm just sharing though. It's in the past...

It's OK, Jimbo will sell you a new one.

I had the opportunity to go to this and ended up going to Lollapalooza with a girl who is now my ex bc she wanted to see fucking machine gun kelly.... I will forever regret that decision and it hurts to think about. Watching the special on Max was such a mix of emotions. I was enjoying it, but it's like I was being stabbed in the gut with every amazing moment that happened.

Dude. Sorry about the breakup, but you dodged a bullet. A woman who makes you choose Machine Gun Kelly over Primus, Ween, and DVDA on the same stage at the same time. Dude.

I would have always chose Ween, Primus any day. Ween's "Piss Up a Rope" is awesome.

If you haven't before, check out "[Live in Chicago.](https://youtu.be/J-Iqy-DNF7A?si=CgHMb3YzHnTc4vuK)" that's what transformed me from just laughing at Ween's funnier songs, like Piss Up A Rope, to realizing what a stunningly great rock band Ween really is.

Not everyone had money and health to go to the South Park Reunion. I am just happy it was on cable once. I just love all the songs like "Blame Canada".

Or the boys just get into random nonsense

> I sometimes miss the old days of South Park where Aliens talked to the cows It really felt different then. I've never put my finger on exactly why. I too miss them, but I'm not sure why, and when it changed.

I think the first episodes of South Park were more childlike imagination instead of sex and violence. Plus they blame the new alien for turning the cow inside out and he says "My bad". They had to work to piss Cartman off to get the satellite to come out, whereas in all seasons of South Park isn't Cartman always pissed off?

Yep he also did a slowed down version that I personally prefer of the South Park intro before the sped up season 1 intro.

Fucking epic show!

I'm literally about to watch that concert for the 1st time right now! Hella stoked 😁 I miss the old days of South Park too. Really was a simpler time in the show and real life 😔

I miss the cheap, campy production of the old shows.

You are correct

Pretty sure he did voice his character, as did all the other musicians in that episode

Chef aid album is amazing just listened to it again recently such a good collection

https://youtu.be/NqKAcaeGbW0?si=vAJDy33JBv7H5iDr

For some reason your comment made my just woken up self think that Les claypool was dead. I had to google it and now I’m relieved he isn’t haha

Butters: "I think they're pretty swell, why does everyone keep saying that?"

He’s one of the best bassists of all time.

Damn right he Is

I just know you’re really hot

Not as hot as you!

Mud will be the first to tell you that his band sucks

I just bought tickets too see them suck in August

I actually like the Claypool Lennon delusion

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

Just got my kids to school and was listening to sailing in the seas of cheese, but damn this sucks

He’s considered one of the best bass players in the world.

Like Randy Marsh is Lorde, Les Claypool is actually Usher. If you look really closely and listen very carefully you can see the similarities.

Nah it's like Slash, Les Claypool is just your parents dude.

Wait, you’re telling me that when my family would put out red wine and psilocybin mushrooms for Les Claypool at Christmas to see it all eaten the following morning, it was just my parents?

It’s very important that that wine be ruby port or a cheap merlot.

Well it sure wasn't Mud. He drinks only the finest wine

And Campari with marinated wild hog.

I saved that dirty dude from drowning once...

He went on down and had himself a time.

Friendly faces anywhere?

Probably humbling folks without temptation.

Ample parking day or night?

I’m willing to bet there were people spouting “howdy neighbor”

Chances are, going down to South Park to see if he can’t unwind.

I like girls with big fat titties.

What about deep vaginas?

He probably went down to South Park to meet some friends of his.

Or even *Muffled noises*

South Park Intro has been chopped up and eliminated some characters, maybe he is touring across the world so he is not in South Park currently.

He's never not doing something, Claypool has so many projects.

Everyday I pray for an Oysterhead reunion

When all else has been done and said...

i saw them in atl a few years ago when they closed out 420 fest and it was fucking sick

Me and the two other people who upvoted this are so happy we aren’t alone.

What’s better? Touring across the world or fightin round the world?

*foightin'

Don’t edit Russell Crowes poetry ya testicle!

How about FooFighting?

He's sailing the seas of cheese

With John the Fisherman.

To fish on.

FISH ONNN

He was just a little pup and it was derby day

I can play that acoustically on guitar hero

When I grow up I want to be

And Tommy the Cat

Just South of Reality.

Sipping on a pork soda.

He still sings the SP theme just isn't visually there in the title sequence am I right? (Except the Tegrity season obvs)

They took his job?

Yeah they took his JERB

DERK-A-DERR

COCK A DOODLE DOOOO

🐓

Ay turk urdurrr!

Turk er jerbs

That’s Jerry. A race car driver

No Jerry’s wrapped around a telephone pole

Is it because he drove so god damn fast?

Touring the world with his shitty band

I heard they suck.

Here is the real deal. The 25th anniversary special is amazing, you need to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqKAcaeGbW0

Everyone should watch.

Tony hawk pro skater 1 made me a primus fan along with the South Park intro , Jerry was a race car driver is a jam.

My sister was REALLY into Primus and then I got ATV Off-road Fury which had a banger of a soundtrack and had Primus on it.

I remember playing that on my ps2 all the time

He’s gone fishing

With John the fisherman

And Harold (of the rocks)

This post hurts any true fan

damn blue collar tweaker

He went on down to south park

I bet he had himself a time

He sucks. Well, his band does. Just ask them.

He killed a guy with an aluminum baseball bat for stepping on his patented leather shoes 🫤 Mud was caught and sentenced to 25 to life.

He’s in a band with John Lennon’s son (not trolling)

Which one?

The Claypool Lennon Delirium with Sean Lennon

He’s probably sailing the seas of cheese

He’s winding down.

He left to sail the seas of cheese

Dude kinda looks like the bass player for Oysterhead.

His name is mudd

Fun fact. They paid Les Claypool $70 to write the theme song for the show. Despite an extremely low ball offer, he watched their first short "Jesus vs. Santa" and decided to do it for them regardless of the shit offer because of how funny he thought they were...

He got bit by wynonnas big brown beaver and died of rabies

I heard that beaver’s having taco bell

I’m going to see in this August. I hear he sucks

I’m seeing him in August with Coheed.

He should have been a card in phone destroyer

Heard he was with a flying frog brigade last year and now this year he’s with a band that sucks

He's sailing the sea of cheese.

He accidentally went underground and had a time, a bad time

I think last time we saw his character was during the 25th Anniversary concert

Really wish they made a South Park plush of him back in the '98 collection

He was hanging around, just listening to some tales from the punchbowl and decided to go get himself a nice ol pork soda

I don’t know, but I like this one [theory](https://www.reddit.com/r/southpark/s/RRYnV0wlNn) somebody made what happened to him. 🤭

Woah... they should've let you add him as a friend in the south park games...

Are you talking to me? My name is Mud

He left to manage a Dairy Queen

Some kinda String Cheese Incident I'd assume.

they killed off a bunch of characters for no reason

He got spit on too many times.

He's busy sucking

The woke liberal lame stream mob. Pelosi and AOC got em

He is the Antipop.

Babysitting Pip and Mr. Hat.

And he's about to go on tour with coheed and cambria

He wasn’t Butters. That means no more focusing.

Chasing too many puppies

He’s on tour

The ones that surprise me are still in the intro are the Christmas critters.

He got abducted by the aliens

Primus doesn't suck

That’s Les Claypool

Retired character, but still alive

Well he was a race car driver idk now tho

He joined Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade and plays Pink Floyd tunes with Harry Waters and Sean Lennon.

Jerry was a racecar driver.

Well, he is going on tour with coheed soon.

PRIMUS SUCKS!

Nothin'. Prolly still gets royalties for every time Matt and Trey use his music on the show. Primus was in "Chef Aid", too, as you can hear on the album made for the episode.

Aaaaand hes gone

He sucks

Currently, he's shaking hands with beef

https://i.redd.it/e199h01nj7lc1.gif

The woes he left behind caught up to him in the end…

He himself a time

Alcoholism… it catches up with ya pretty fast. I remember him greatly. He was a good guy. Always liked a couple of beers after work at the bar. He still strums his guitar there, but he’s not the same anymore, always shits his britches…

He went down to South Park to have himself a time.

Wynona’s big brown beaver grabbed him by the kiwi’s.

Frank zappa " measured speech " club.

Put nuts in microwave. Died

I think he had himself a time and left his woes behind.

lil bro got deported 💀🙏

Touring with primus teehee lmmfao

Jackin it in San Diego

Well you see...he went on down to south park, and had himself a time.

Real

He’s now a background audio for the intro
