I am not sure how many of you saw the movie "I love you Man" but the whole "Slappin Da Bass " routine. I did not like, it was not funny.
It's hard enough being a bass player and they go and degrade the whole art form.

Yeah, the "slappin da bass, mahn" schtick was lame...otherwise, there were some genuinely funny moments, and a good story.

Maybe it was out of context, but I thought it was stupid.
Plus, Geddy doesn't slap! |

they even have him playing a geddy sig for some of it.
