I watched this yesterday, I was laughing so hard I was almost crying.
I especially like the hose in the pool and the car sitting on 14s.
@pecan 3.14159265: Where my hose at?!
@theblackdog:
That was a coffee out the nose and on the keyboard moment.
I wonder if Seth Green’s financial investments will allow him to replace the computer I just ruined because of him!
@subtlefrog:
Oooh. Probably not. Just realized we have the same laptop – and if he hasn’t updated in that long…well..
yeah.
Hi-la-rious…..”That’s math all over your face!!!!!”.
As an off note, at 1:11, there is a handle/tank thing….what the heck is that? One of my brother’s had one exactly like that and never got a straight answer from them.
@ClutchDude: you mean the thing next to the TV that looks like a WWII relic? I think it’s a helium tank.
@ClutchDude: It looks like an antique fire extinguisher to me.
@Real Cheese Flavor: I’d say fire extinguisher as well.
@ClutchDude: Nitrous tank. Or helium tank, but what fun is helium…
@ClutchDude: That is definitely an old soda ash fire extinguisher. I have two of them. Lots of people make them into lamps although I have not.
Ahhh, so that’s what Robot Chicken money can get you.
Mr. Puggleface is my financial advisor
@Underscore_Lysdexia: @Possinator: I don’t think that couch folds out…
Nothing wrong with that though. I’ve slept on a couch for almost three years. Good for my back.
I really, really want the “Welcome, yo” doormat. Anyone have any idea where I can get it?
@pecan 3.14159265: yeah I thought the same thing.
@pecan 3.14159265: I believe in the spirit of the piece – it’s all about crafting it yourself, yo!

And the best part – leftover paint for a wild night at home! (kidding!)
Or you could just get a custom mat:

I laughed pretty hard when he called his fold out couch a transformer
Yo!? Where my hose at??
@emis: that’s what got me
What is also really funny is that the house is really nice inside if you ignore the furniture and just look at the walls and kitchen.
@pecan 3.14159265: I was going to say….
That’s a lot nicer than the house I lived in and currently live in.
@pecan 3.14159265: Seriously. When He got to the kitchen my first thought was, “Wow, nice stove.” Which is also why I have been hanging out in the beef thread all day.
@Spaceman Bill Leah: Yeah — I want a fridge like that one! It’s much nice than mine. But in the spirit of the video, I’m not going to buy one because mine works perfectly fine and I don’t have the cash saved up for a new one right now.
@Spaceman Bill Leah: I think that might actually be his house. The kitchen really was nice @_@
@pecan 3.14159265: ok, so i’m not the only one who focused on the nice kitchen.
@gStein: Yeah, my eyes went straight to the stainless-steel fridge. And then I noticed that the stove and dishwasher matched.
@gStein:
Absolutely not. Drool on the kitchen. Even the cabinets were really nice. But the stainless – that’s what stole my heart.
See, Jamie Kennedy? There IS a way to play hip-hop white guy and BE FUNNY AT THE SAME TIME.
Seth Green rules.
@Papercutninja: I feel like it was a natural extension of his character of Kenny from “Can’t Hardly Wait.”
@pecan 3.14159265: “Why you gotta waste my flava?”
@pecan 3.14159265: Love that movie, bumpin uglies in the bathroom!
Aww, Kenny Fisher’s matured so much in the past 10 years… guess he actually paid attention in class at UCLA…
@NightElfMohawk: “Kenny Fisher, Financial Consultant” has a ring to it, does it not?
@NightElfMohawk: 10 years my butt. I think Wylie’s all growed up too.
@geeky_reader: Ha, we totally bought tickets to that but snuck into Warlock: The Gathering instead. Ah, memories of getting into R-rated movies before the age of 17…
@NightElfMohawk: D’oh! Meant “Warlock: The Armageddon”… I was like 12, and I completely didn’t remember the name correctly since it was the only time I saw the movie too…
@NightElfMohawk:
Ah, the movie that began my childhood crush on JLH…
well it actually might have been “house arrest”, but looking back she was a little too young in that movie
@NightElfMohawk:
I can’t even describe how much I love this movie. Yes, it’s pure cheese, but so nostalgic. “Did someone order a Love Burger? Well Done.”
I understand how this is supposed to be comical and informative, but, it just urks me that they used a relatively rich (and worry free) person to extol the benefits of living within ones means. In real life, i’m sure Seth drives a pretty nice and expensive car, lives in a very large house, and actually has a Playstation. I have a modest house, my wife and i drive old reliable cars, i don’t need Seth Green to pretend like he is slumming it down.
@steveliv: Who are they going to get though? Will Smith, who makes $20 million a movie? Tom Hanks, who makes about the same? One of the kids from Slumdog Millionaire who live off probably $1 a day and just had their homes torn down?
@pecan 3.14159265: I was thinking, if they had included, amongst the famous people, perhaps an average joe, who we can identify with. It comes off as arrogant, when wealthy people proceed to educate me on saving and scrimping money.
@steveliv: I really don’t read into this video as evidence that anyone should be taking advice from Seth Green. Or anyone else. I don’t care if John and Mary Lou from Minneapolis are saving money. I don’t care if Seth Green drives a Porsche. I simply don’t read into this video as anything but pretty hilarious and a slam against the extravagances of the ridiculously wealthy represented by MTV Cribs (and some of them aren’t so outrageous).
@pecan 3.14159265: i would agree with you 100% if it weren’t for the fact that it is part of a larger tv show whose synopsis is the following: “Special where celebrities discuss today’s money issues.”
@steveliv: Oh well, this is hilarious. Although perhaps MC Hammer would have been a better celeb to tell us about living within our means…haha.
@steveliv: But also look at what you’re saying: celebrities discuss today’s money issues. Nothing about that suggests you should take it seriously…plus the title of the program is “Un-broke” which obviously conveys that it is just as serious as a CSPAN airing of a Senate committee hearing on today’s money issues.
It’s ok. It’s just funny.
@steveliv: Your sense of humor is lacking.
@nakedscience: my sense of humor is working correctly. i didn’t say i think it wasn’t humorous, its just they way they are going about it, isn’t sitting well with me.
@steveliv: good god, is that stick up your bum hurting you or what?! it’s a piece of comedy. again: your sense of humor is lacking.
@steveliv: Your life must be extremely unenriching if you have to pick apart a comedy bit.
@Skankingmike: i’ve done no such thing. i’m not concerned with this skit, but the tv program it is a part of. i just think it is ironic for rich celebrities to talk or give advice about money issues.
@steveliv: …why is it “ironic”? just because someone is rich doesn’t mean they don’t save or make wise financial decisions, or that they didn’t work hard (by saving and making financial decisions) to get where they are.
@nakedscience: the thing I find most interesting is the double standard..if you make billions from being good at inventing how is it so different from making billions by being good at acting? Or making wise decisions about what films to be in? The owner of X company got there from the sweat of his back, why is a celebrity less deserving of the same respect if they also rose to prominence through hard work?
@steveliv:
I took it as face value cuz I wouldn’t be surprised if the skit was forreal. The only things I remember seth green for was Cant Hardly Wait, a move he had a side appearance for 10 years ago, and being a voice on Family Guy.
Maybe he’s done other things, but I don’t think hes as rich as you tihnk he is.
@Customer_Service_Slave: Well he’s been raking in a pretty good amount from Family Guy, and he’s co-creator, writer, producer, voice actor, and everything else for Robot Chicken. And he just inked a deal to do another show.
So I’m pretty sure while he’s not Richard Branson own-an-island rich, he’s not hurting too much to pay the electric bill.
Seth Green is the voice of my generation. Gah, everything he does is gold. Robot Chicken = love.
@nakedscience: I feel sorry for your generation.
@Lincolnsbeard33: @Mike8813: I’m 27 and find it freakin’ hilarious, but then again I’ve watched Pineapple Express like, 5 times. And I love Bad Santa.
I love silly, outragious, often times nonsensical humor.
And pecan 3.14159265 is clearly awesome.
@nakedscience: I made you a wooden pickle. I hope you like it. (I love Bad Santa)
@nakedscience: I’m 25, I hope we’re not in the same generation. I sat through an episode of Robot Chicken and it was pretty terrible.
(Although there was a 5 second bit where a robot was dry humping a washing machine. For some reason I thought that was pretty damn funny.)
@Mike8813: I’m 25 too, and I find Robot Chicken to be absolutely hilarious comedy gold. Obviously we have different tastes in comedy.
@Mike8813: Although: “I sat through one episode…”
Yay, one whole episode! And if you found the dry humping a washing machine hilarious, then you should watch more, because seriously, that’s the kind of humor it is, along with some really well placed moments of satire, irony, and pop culture fun.
@nakedscience: He’s only one of the voices of your generation. The voice that seems to be more prevalent in the above replies is that of the Comic Book Guy claiming “Worst everrrrrrrr.”
I want a Professor Puggle face!
That’s the best cribs ever
I liked cribs when they went to that guy who played Stiflers house and it was like a little apartment he shares with a few other guys.
You know that most of the homes in cribs are rentals right?
Seth Green could live much higher. I knew him when I was a TV commercial producer and he was a working child actor — tried to cast him in a Hershey commercial, but they wouldn’t let me because he had funny front teeth (adorable, actually). He’s an example of somebody who’s earned money but doesn’t spend every dime. Plenty of child actors and working actors are up to their ears in debt.
@Amy Alkon: I never got the message that it was actually his house though.
@pecan 3.14159265: But think about it: Do you ever see him trolling around with models on his arm, and fancy cars, and fancy champaigne? He isn’t fodder for the paps because he doesn’t live a glitzy life. I always got the impression that he was pretty normal. Sure, he probalby has a nice house and a nice car, but he never seemed ~flashy~ to me.
I get the feeling he has a LOT of video game systems and a huge tv with tons of DVDs and a lot of CDs, though, because he reminds me a lot of my friends, and if they had money they’d be SWIMMING in entertainment. Especially video games.
@nakedscience: There are certain things that are almost universal. Video games, DVDs and consoles tend to be one of them when it comes to anyone who comes into a little money. He might not drive a Ferrari, but I bet he’s got nice things like a lot of non-wealthy people.
Just because you don’t have a glitzy life doesn’t really mean you don’t have really nice things. I just don’t know if the house is his.
@pecan 3.14159265: And anyways, it’s not important whether or not he owns that house. He’s just a messenger – promoting fiscal responsibility as well as satirizing the excesses of “Cribs”, without coming across as stuffy.
@pecan 3.14159265: Really? I did. Given that he’s more of a cult icon than a big-name star, it seems entirely reasonable that he’d own (possibly outright) an actual house. Keep in mind that that area of CA is pretty darn expensive too.
But I guess it could all be a stunt, too. What do I know?
@mmmsoap: It’s not owning A house, it’s owning THAT house. I never actually thought he owned that house, or any stuff inside it.
1.25 baths? What constitutes a quarter of a bathroom?
@Coles_Law: A .25 bath is an extra fixture, like a 2nd sink.
For some reason I mixed up Seth Green and Jamie Kennedy and was thinking “When did Jamie Kennedy get funny”.
Good stuffs/
If only the government of California could take Seth’s advice.
Ok, I want to know how he’s getting 38 M to the G with a Subaru Legacy. Was there a diesel model?
it might not be his house. BUT it is possible.
Then again, theres one thing attractive to that place that you cant buy with money; anonymity. No one will bug you, there wont be annoying rich people everywhere (if, for example, paparazzi, loud cars etc bother you) your neighbors might have less entitlement issues, and they might be good old regular people too. Maybe hes into that stuff, I am, and I would love some peace over LA madness any day.
If I was Seth Green, it would be to come home from work, know the moneys in the bank so I never have to worry about being forced to/out of work or “getting back in the scene”, sitting and playing PS3 and having no one bother you.
What is also really funny is that the house is really nice inside if you ignore the furniture and just look at the walls and kitchen.
