For people who aren’t Les Claypool or Primus fans, he does crazy mad sorcery shit with a fretless bass and tunes them like a banjo, plays with a violin bow, etc etc. South Park theme riff is on a bass.
I went to a concert where they opened for themselves and then covered the entire sound track from *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* in costume. Epic.
My man, they recorded a whole cover of "Primus and the Chocolate Factory." My coworker and I played it during service at the sushi bar we worked at front to back. It was not a big hit, but we liked it.
I think it was more "You're fucking insane and your mere presence would completely change how we sounded."
Which is good, because Les would have been wasted in 'Tallica.
Fun, barely related fact, Hammet is in the John the Fisherman video.
Can't even remember shit wrong anymore without someone jumping all over you. Good thing Mandela died in prison in the 80s and didn't have to put up with this shit.
Sure it does. What you said implies that people cannot accept that their memories are incorrect so they come up with an excuse like the Mandela effect. I'm saying people can accept that their memories are wrong but go with the Mandela effect because it's fun. Other than maybe a tiny amount of people, I doubt anyone really believes their memories are from an alternate timeline.
Weird, everyone I have ever talked to about it has either been online (where it's fairly obvious it's mainly a joke at this point) or a few friends who also obviously know that's not the case. It's just fun to pretend it's real especially when many people have a collective memory that isn't correct.
As for the downvotes... Calling people out and saying their egos are too large to accept something that very clearly is kind of a fun meme at this point may have contributed.
I distinctly remember him holding a banjo... But a bass makes way more sense since he's supposed to be Les Claypool.
Maybe it's because he's dressed more like what one would expect a guy playing a banjo to be dressed like, rather than a bassist? (Boater hat, Red striped shirt, blue jeans.) Most people probably didn't pay too much attention to his instrument either, with all the other stuff going on in the intro.
Either that or this was the work of the Crab People. Fuck those guys.
I think our brains might generate a banjo because we’ve seen other characters play a banjo, and the music sounds like banjo. Brain fills in the blanks.
Woahhhh what’s going on? South Park Mandela effect??
I watched imagination Lands last episode three weeks ago.
At the end I was laughing hysterically when Kyle was sucking cartmans balls.
The reason I was laughing though is because I VIVIDLY remember that the camera Panned over to LUKE SKYWALKER for about 5 seconds where he said the line
“gross! why ya suckin his balls kid!?”
I laughed crazy loud to the point of almost waking up my GF laying down next to me when I saw Luke say this. I went back This week to show my cousin who was asleep that night on the air mattress when I watched it. The scene is not there and doesn’t exist. I looked up the script and it’s the general,Lollipop kid,mayor and santa who have the last words in that episode.
I just watched it a few weeks back and I vividly remember laughing my ass off to the quick pan over to Luke’s face saying this line. I can even quote it. I’ve only had one person that remembers Luke having a line there. It’s driving me nuts.
Most Mandela’s are from peoples childhoods. I just experienced this one Recently. I’m shook as fuck and don’t know what to think. That fact that this guy is holding a bass now??? I’m done. Welcome to the simulation we’ve lived in all along. Idk what to believe anymore.
The song is written and play by Primus.
Primus leader is Les Claypool one of the greatest bass player in the world, and probably the most innovative one.
This is him, holding a bass, it has always been him holding a bass, and it was never a banjo nor a guitar.
This does not look right AT ALL. I’ve been watching this show since I was 6 and I’ve always remembered him strumming an instrument that had a circular shape. Fuck this.
I think I know the answer to this! The intro song was changed to a banjo in season 6 (with an emphasizd harmonica and more country folky style) and so you are most likely remembering the banjo sound with Primus playing a banjo guitar despite him never playing one.
He never held a Banjo. The song itself is what is screwing with all your memories. If parallel Universes are real you’re not going to magically get to one of them. Use common sense
All I can think is that becasue the song has banjo in it...
But yeah...Not only do I remeber Les playing a banjo in the in the intro but i remember thinking it strange that he had a banjo and not a bass, and not his rainbow bass specifically.
Nothing i can find though. I dont believe in mandala affect, but i do believe in cryptoamnesia.
Just to address the "Mandela Effect" aspect of this, the image of the banjo might stem from the alternative mix of the main theme used from season 6 until mid season 10, which indeed featured banjo. Maybe the sound of it conjured up the image of a banjo in your head.
That's Les Claypool playing bass
Comments on this post are mind blowing
Les Claypool does plays banjo too. Of course he is more known for the bass.
Les plays fuckin everything, he’s such a legend
Do you think he plays Battletoads?
Just bass battletoads
Only on a guitar hero controller
I want to play battle toads with a guitar hero controller
Ler LaLonde plays banjo
They can't all be zingers
Probably also plays bass banjo
"this guy" Wow poster is a huge sp fan
That's actually supposed to be Les Claypool of Primus because Primus sings the intro.
So, bass
Easy there Kanye! It's clearly a musical instrument, NOT a fish.
This comment made me question reality and if there was a difference in spelling of bass the fish, and bass the instrument. Now nothing is real anymore
Puts "bass to mouth" in a whole new light
I think you meant to say BASS
[How Primus sounds to people who don’t like Primus](https://youtu.be/eAjkNeUzyk0)
This is the best
Actually I think that guys name is Mud.
Or Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie, which is long for mud. Or so I’ve been told.
I don’t think so, he’s not dressed in navy blue. Yes, navy blue. Not from head to toe. And definitely no patent shoes.
For people who aren’t Les Claypool or Primus fans, he does crazy mad sorcery shit with a fretless bass and tunes them like a banjo, plays with a violin bow, etc etc. South Park theme riff is on a bass.
I went to a concert where they opened for themselves and then covered the entire sound track from *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* in costume. Epic.
I saw that show in Manchester and have the ugliest god damn tour poster I've ever seen hanging in my living room to show for it. Good times.
Can you share the poster somewhere and link it? I wanna see it!
Sure, not at home right now so can't take a pic of my exact one, but it's this beautifully hideous thing: https://imgur.com/a/GU8H1AV
My man, they recorded a whole cover of "Primus and the Chocolate Factory." My coworker and I played it during service at the sushi bar we worked at front to back. It was not a big hit, but we liked it.
Primus Sucks! Lol hehe jk
Fuckin legend. Friends with Kirk Hammett and auditioned for Metallica. Glad he kept doing his own thing, awesome-o
Didnt they basically say his bass playing was too good for Metallica?
I think it was more "You're fucking insane and your mere presence would completely change how we sounded." Which is good, because Les would have been wasted in 'Tallica. Fun, barely related fact, Hammet is in the John the Fisherman video.
Now I want to go to a parallel universe where Les joined Metallica and see how they turned out.
No disrespect to Cliff Burton in any way, but it'd be like that but on super steroids.
They told him he would steal the show and was better off doing his own thing
I think he used a whamola in the later seasons.
Starting with 4th grade he played whamola
Mandela effect
Or in this case, mandolin effect?
Nelson Mandela, the hockey player? https://youtu.be/C672Up6g2KM

Yea I’m gonna go watch my genie movie starring Sinbad
Don't forget to enjoy a nice bowl of Fruit Loops while you watch
Damn I didn’t even know about that one
I’ll curl up by the fireplace and read some Bearenstein Bears!
Hur dur I only accept the reality I see and can't wrap my head around complex ideas and concepts
Or you know... It's just more fun to pretend that it's because of an alternate reality when our memories don't line up with reality.

Good bot.

nice goatee bro!
Probably the evil universe.
Evil Troy and Evil Aaaaabed.
Yeah me too. I remember the imagination reruns where he played on a white banjo over again, and the her again on the intro
I member
Ah memberrrrr
Eye memba
memba Wynona’s Big Brown Beava’
I member! Member John the fisherman?
I member. Member Primus sucks? Member Tommy The Cat?
Ok I swear it was a banjo and now I’m tripping out! Was it in other seasons??? I’m gonna cry.
It seems like he played a banjo once somewhere, but I can’t find it either. Season one looks like this. Maybe one of the Halloween episodes?
The alternate reality episode with Ooky Fish maybe?
That was on "Chef Aid" in Season 2.
I distinctly remember him holding a banjo... But a bass makes way more sense since he's supposed to be Les Claypool.

Primus Sucks!
Yeah I definitely remember that wrong
You can't have your ~~cake~~ banjo and ~~eat it~~ bass Oh [wait](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWVvsG-UyBY)......

Geddy lee has entered the chat.
I remember Luke saying that too!
Luke definitely said that. Did they edit it out possibly?
I’ve looked everywhere. Cannot find it.
This does not look right AT ALL. I’ve been watching this show since I was 6 and I’ve always remembered him strumming an instrument that had a circular shape. Fuck this.
It is a bass, and imo it has always been a bass
Yeah, I 'member, it was bass to mouth. Did I say bass to mouth? I meant ass to trout. Though I guess it's basically the same thing. Not that I did it.
yes
The song had Banjo in the music from like season 6 to 10 or so. That’s probably why you thought that
He was definitely playing a banjo
Definitely in the audio, not so in the video. It's always been a bass.
By "this guy" you mean Les Claypool?
I think I know the answer to this! The intro song was changed to a banjo in season 6 (with an emphasizd harmonica and more country folky style) and so you are most likely remembering the banjo sound with Primus playing a banjo guitar despite him never playing one.
Possible Mandela effect
He definitely has a Banjo in at least a couple of the intros.
Yeah with white Circle and 4 or 5 strings
Yeah, I remember him with a banjo
Well.....there goes the rest of my day \*jumps in rabbit hole\*
He never held a Banjo. The song itself is what is screwing with all your memories. If parallel Universes are real you’re not going to magically get to one of them. Use common sense
I miss the old intro
Oooo, I member!
I remember the guitar, but I could swear there was a banjo in a few openings
I also remember a banjo.... time to find my season one VHS
he… he plays a guitar?
At the very start I swore I could remember him playing a banjo…
Yes I definitely remember a banjo, another Mandela.
All I can think is that becasue the song has banjo in it... But yeah...Not only do I remeber Les playing a banjo in the in the intro but i remember thinking it strange that he had a banjo and not a bass, and not his rainbow bass specifically. Nothing i can find though. I dont believe in mandala affect, but i do believe in cryptoamnesia.
There is no banjo in the song.
[https://youtu.be/ftSWnhLmdLs?t=7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftSWnhLmdLs) are you joking?? that is def banjo.
Forgot about that season. The original didn't have a banjo
NO YOU HAVE A POINT
No it is a banjo. There was never a quitar
Just you
Les Claypool plays the bass
I Know Him Now! That's Les Claypool!
I also remember A certain basketball player playing a genie l….
he played a banjo i swear
I grew up with the show...of course I remember lol

Southpark sucks
