  1. ah hahahahaha!

  2. I liked this song better when it was called “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend”, and it was by the Rubinoos and it had different lyrics. And it was a better song.

  3. nicke  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    say what you say.
    i wanna see a timbaland remix. it def has potential as a club hit. he’s doing pop now, right?

  4. Yup, it’s official, Avril Lavigne CAN actually get worse and more annoying than in years past.

    Who’d have thought?

  5. Deryck Whibley  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Avril Lavigne is the hot Fergie.

  6. Tannis  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    This is too much. I don’t think she’s joking.

  7. This is Shit  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Is that Liz Phair?

  8. so this is what it’s like to see someone regressing.

  9. I’m confused. Avril plays all 3 girls in the video: blonde, brunet, redhead. So it doesn’t make a difference which one he chooses? Kinda ruins the point of the song.

  10. TheHumanComa  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Retarded. Why did I watch that? I saw it was labeled Avril Lavigne and I still watched it, WTF?

  11. She’s sorta become a parody of herself really… she looks even more like jailbait than she did about 45 years ago when “Complicated” came out.

  12. jack  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    That was brutal…

  13. oh my god… :o (

  14. Sean  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    That shit’s bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

  15. Beans McGee  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    She is so real.

  16. AwEl  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    I was turned on by the blond in fishnets doing the ol’ bump’n'grind.

    Is it just me or has every young female pop star gone back on what they said they were about in the past few years?

  17. Sean M  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Is Toni Basil rolling over in her grave, or what? “Hey Mickey” 2007. Oops, is Toni Basil actually dead?

  18. She looks younger than ever before. She has also taken on traits of Christina. WTF

  19. Whoop Whoops  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    this new avril is laughable…sounds like something disney comissioned for an advert to be “edgy”.

    btw, is she condoning teenage promiscuity, or adultery is this video? married chicks shouldn’t be offering themselves to high school students.

  20. Zedd  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Wait a minute, in that breakdown did she start to develop a fake British accent — ala Lady Sov or something? Maybe it’s just me.

    Either way…. YIKES!

  21. i sort of recall an avril lavigne song where she talked about her values, and how she wasn’t going to have sex with boys. however, that doesn’t sell records, so put her in fishnets and have her screw the boy on camera. that’ll go platinum.

  22. jnuh  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    On the upside, there is going to be a large number of parents who will be wondering why their 10 year old daughters are refering to each other as a ‘muthafucking princess’.
    Good times…

  23. Isn’t she married? To that guy from Sum 41?

  24. bigdave  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    And society reaches a new low.

    Congrats Avril on making Fallout Boy seem less like the great satan.

  25. jazmine  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    traits of christina? as if.

    avril, you gotta be kidding me. it’s like she wants to watch herself crash and burn. her album cover is fn lame too.

  26. davebobn  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Holy balls that was bad. I was half-expecting something ridiculously catchy that I would listen to while my wife was out of the house, but I’d rather not ever hear that again.

  27. That was so mind-numbingly horrible.

  28. pearl  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    um… No.

  29. pauly  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Isn’t she too old for those stupid moves????
    God!

  30. steve  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    yes folks, this is what the masses in America consider good. I pray for our country, I really do.

  31. Dane  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Perhaps she is so self-aware that she realized that the only people who make up her audience are girls ten to sixteen years old.
    I mean…seriously…why the fuck does a married chick write this song? It’s bad enough that she’s twenty-two and she might still consider this good. But she’s also married, and therefore has no motive to want to steal someone’s boyfriend or to think about said subject.
    Hopefully, Mandy Moore’s next record’ll be good.

  32. She does a really good live version of “Chop Suey” by System of a Down – it sounds like she’s getting sexually assaulted. She looks like she’s a victim of it, at least. Poor girl. It’s people like her that make real musicians not want to try to get known.

  33. in which is revealed that stereogum commenters have no stirring of joy in their hearts. such malice.

    it’s almost as good as that nelly furtado song where timbaland stole the backing track from some scandinavian nerd. now //that// song is my jam.

  34. ktttt  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    ew.

  35. Silvio  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Hey Avril, 2001 called…they want their video back.

  36. Jack the Ripper  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    This video is why Canada is not a major world power. It isn’t because Canada has not played a major part in any war, their isolationism, the fact that 99.99% of it is just forests that get really cold in the winter, that their army isn’t too bulked up, or anything else. It is because the governments of all world powers see this video and feel slight pity for Canadians because they have to say that they’re from the same country as Avril Lavigne. They decide to just leave them alone and not cause them any more distress of building up their armies and going to war to become a world power.

  37. Sondra  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    I can’t believe I watched the whole thing..

  38. Hesta  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    gwen writes the script.
    avril follows suit.
    disappointment ensues.

  39. Jimmy James  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    I counted no less than 4 gratuitous crotch shots. Awesome.

  40. pippa  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    avril lavigne used to be about as punk as a ham sandwich…. she’s stooped lower than that this time. much lower

  41. i like it! don’t think it was made for most of you. but instead people who actually buy records.

  42. Toto  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    I guess her reasoning is that since her original fans are now adults and listen to actual music she will just target their 15 year siblings. God save them.

  43. Zayin_451  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    There is no way Avril actually calls the shots about what her songs or especially videos are going to be about. I really feel sorry for her. I bet you anything she hates this thing worse than we do.

  44. OH MY GOD I AM TERRIFIED.

  45. seth  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    sterogum, why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?

  46. bunnny  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    avril should be ashamed. the video is crap…and since her main audience is girls between 10 and 15, she’s sending a horrible message, like, be a rude “punk” bully and you’ll get the guy! awful (don’t even get me started about how retarded the song is!)

  47. aviator  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    from this video I have learned that in order to have a succesfull relationship both partners need to wear a long sleeve shirt under a black t-shirt.

  48. holy cow.

    she’s gonna make millions with this.

    say what you will of song quality or creepiness or whatever… this is gonna sell. tons.

    it’s sprinkled with crack. like reality tv.

  49. hans  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    SOooo awful! I kinda liked her before this(her second album has a couple really solid songs, believe it or not) and this song was fun, guilty pleasure fun, mind you, but anyway… buw WTF??? and then she’s all over the place telling everyone how serious an artist she is!

  50. Fred  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Are there really more than 2 comments about this?

    Good Lord.

  51. bigphil  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Maybe she really is trying to screw over her career. I mean her second album looked like she might be a serious artist someday, but this looks she is devolving in to some Fall Out Boy-esque pop singer, even more than before. i think I heard she wants to be an actress and quit singing. on second thought, I have no idea what she is trying to do, if hse’s serious or whatevver…

  52. Jacko  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Wow, that was so bad. “She’s like so ‘whatever’,” was a lyric? Are you joking?

    And to top it off, she was a total asshole in that video. At least if you’re going to have no talent, you should make up for it by being nice.

  53. matt  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    better than thom

  54. 2cents  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    I can totally see her in rehab soon, or better yet, shaving her head…

    I can’t believe Avril is so profound in this video. I guess growing up and marriage really paid off, and made her a more mature person. The lyrics has so much depth. She’s got mad writing skillz. That’s definitely video of the year material. She also looks taller too. Btw, I’m on crack right now…

  55. Carlos  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    “holy cow.

    she’s gonna make millions with this.

    say what you will of song quality or creepiness or whatever… this is gonna sell. tons.”

    Truth.

  56. Carlos  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Y’know what the sad thing is? That probably all of you loved the song and, just to maintain your faux façade, you posted an “OMG this is shit” comment. This is an almost perfectly structured pop song, and one that has “hit” written all over it. It’s also a catchy song, and I bet you won’t change the station when you hear it on the radio.

  57. tanner  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    amen, carlos.

  58. OMG!.  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Carlos, that’s not even close to the truth.

  59. Danielle  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Why is the redhead always the victim?

    Also, you’ll all love this song once Timbaland remixes it.

  60. G-Unit  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Tube socks and high heels are an underrated look.

    The beauty of the song is the same as Fergie’s recent effort. Rip off a sound that is popular among those who listen to a lot of music but unknown to the masses. Fergie popularizes the M.I.A. sound, Avril takes on the Pipettes. Somebody should do an MBA case study because it’s brilliant commerce. Did I mention the tube socks and high heels?

  61. DO NOT WANT

  62. doggie  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    yeah Carlos. we all secretly love shitty songs about stealing someone’s boyfriend. just because a song is catchy doesn’t mean it’s quality.

  63. i love it when stereogum posts stuff like this because i can come back 24 hours after and find loads of amusing comments.

  64. Miles  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Well. I just watched this and I feel… violated?

    It was horrible.

  65. White belt attack! Death to America!

  66. rgr_moore  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Being a ruthless mall-punk bully pays off I guess!

    No seriously what the hell was that video about? I watched it all throught the end (the fishnets helped), hoping there would be some sort of “ohh wait it was all a big parody!!” but no…

  67. disasterhead  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    hahaha….she dances…DANCE!

  68. Beverly  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    I think it’s catchy as hell. If people could stop taking shit so seriously for five minutes maybe they’d appreciate a good pop song like this one.

  69. steve mcqueen  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    bullshit. people appreciate pop. even avril had some decent tunes on past albums, and some dude upthread agrees with that. this song is just fucking pathetic.

  70. Yeah Beverly, I think so too. The song was catchy as hell, and super fun. Who cares what she’s done before? I’m looking forward to this one coming on in the club.

  71. Evan  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    “… she looks even more like jailbait than she did about 45 years ago when “Complicated” came out.”

    It really does seems like forever that she’s been around. This video confuses me- I wish she’d stop trying to act like a legitimate performer (guitar, “attitude”, fake British accent) and stick to being a pop star… and get naked.

  72. it’s like she came out of Hot Topic and decided to sing a song with her mall friends

  73. Jay Bird  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    Is there any way for me to keep my Indie-cred and still say that I wanna “do” [finger quotes] Avril? I promise, I will only watch this video with the sound down, while Gang of Four are playing on iTunes, and I’ll buy whatever Pitchfork is droning on about this week.

  74. pink skull n crossbones? how very ashlee simpson

  75. miya  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    A single pink streak in your hair and coining the phrase “motherfuckin’ princess.’ Shit…she’s too punk for me.

  76. olly  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    She’s too old for this. However, Gwen Stefani is pushing 40 and still putting out this kind of crap, which leaves the window wide open for middle aged/middle school boyfriend pouting madness in 2027.

  77. Lolo  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    what a load of shit

    “10 year old daughters are refering to each other as a ‘muthafucking princess’.”

    true dat

    ‘rebel’ pop princess + a few years + blonde hair = pure unadulterated SHIT

  78. i can see this becoming a hit

    on the next kidz bop album.

  79. she’s so punk rock.

  80. Sean  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    Mark B., as a DJ myself I will take the liberty of speaking for all of us by saying if anyone calling themselves a DJ actually played this out in a club we’d revoke their membership. Then stab out their eyes with a stylus.

    Seriously, this has nothing to do with people not appreciating pop or falling in line with their peers. This song is just BAD. In fact, it actually goes beyond bad and goes straight to putrid dreck. It insults the intelligence of anyone with eyes and ears.

  81. babezero  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    Can we all please agree to stop with the metal studded belts? Enough already. Her whole look is so very OVER.

  82. it’s not about quality nor anything. that’s not the point at all. the thing is this ‘product’… video + song + image… has all the crowd-pleasing ingredients to make it on the pop-charts.

    even the “cheerlead-y” beat and chorus… it’s gonna be like printing cash when the CD comes out. if you look at YouTube yesterday, the video skyrocketed into the most-viewed top five.

    am i gonna like hearing this everywhere i go for a few months? no. but it’s gonna be there. the fact that i don’t dig something doesn’t blind me to the fact that there’s a huge market for it.

    it has that “novelty song” appeal the later Offspring hits had. horrendous indeed, but this thing is gonna prolong Avril Lavigne’s career for at least six more months.

    oh well.

  83. Hey I enjoied the video I like okay i admit i love it but hey I mean i just think it’s fun though I belive she is more mature than what the song is but it’s still catchy fun and will make an awsome show !!! It is diferent than what she has done before Witch If it was the same damn thing as before things would get boreing !!! her records vary let go is skater pop/rock undermyskin is deep pop/rock and The best damn thing seems to be up beat pop though When i think of it if any one is going to judge her music they better listion to the whole cd not just to the singles cause the singles are more pop than the other songs most of the time i find songs like my world and any thing but ordinary are better than like complicated and skater boy but any ways back to her new video I love it it’s funny catchy and cocky though not a fan of the fish net but at least she isn’t useing the head set mic and showing her stomach besides i think it actually looks good with the fish net i don’t think it’s too too sexed up any ways thats all I have to say for now

    peace
    rock on

    ~Liz

    Back oh Yeah I don’t realy think it matters of what genre avril is cause in all relatiy she isn’t realy any genre she is avril !her sound isn’t anybody else so yeah this whole pop rock punk ordeal dosn’t realy matter you ither like her or don’t who realy cares im just bord so thats why im posting

    While I agree with your sentiments that the video is a piece of garbage, you might wanna retake whatever history classes you did and realize that Canada played a major role in both World Wars and in fact, almost single-handedly liberated the Dutch during the Second World War. In fact, Canada was involved in both conflicts well before the United States was.

  86. sommer  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    What the fuck?!

  87. “I wanna be yr boyfriend”, screeching weasel, anybody hear it?

  88. too tired to care  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    While I agree the video is the worst thing I’ve ever seen and I just lost brain cells while watching that, do not attack Canada. It’s once that girl came to the US this shit was forced upon her by the label.
    I’m not coming to her defense by any means, but it’s Americans expectations that caused this.

  89. Rambo IV ever  |   Posted on Feb 25th, 2007

    Avril Lavigne actually could have gone into a different route in her career but somebody higher up wants her to remain slutty and punky.

    There are plenty of time where I’ve seen pictures of her that doesn’t look like some teenage mall slut and she actually looked quite nice.

    If you strip away all that hot topic clothings and put her into something a bit more respectful and classy, she’s a knock out.

    In this day in age, 20 is now considered too young whereas 30 is the new 20.

  90. Alex of Ketchup  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    Avril is the new Ashlee.

    At least with her, “OMG U SUCK U MEAN BOY” songs, there was… I don’t know, something more than just, “Look at me! I’m a whore! I’m a whore! I’m a whore! I’ll suck your cock! I’m nothing more than the rich man’s Antonella Barba-whatsherface from Idol!”

    Honestly, if I see Avril anywhere around Toronto, I’m so punching her in the box.

  92. Sarah  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    The song and video are so mean-spirited. The whole thing has been done before by what I thought was the most watered down popster: Ashley Simpson. I don’t understand what Avril’s problem is. She is young, rich, and goodlooking…why isn’t she having more fun? At least Ashley seems to be enjoying herself. Oh ya, and Avril’s hair pulled back like that looks very Mars Attacks! Is she hiding her super-big brain?

  93. Zeld  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    “Tube socks and high heels are an underrated look.”
    Obviously you haven’t been watching enough Girls Next Door…Holly should be in Avril’s band. It couldn’t hurt.

  94. Cully  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    It looks like Avril has become the kind of musician she use to make fun of-Britney Spears. Dance moves, blonde hair and shallow lyrics. WTF! I have been an Avril fan since her first album, but even I think she has sold out with her latest single.

  95. dennis  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    I watched it like 3 times, that little bitch is hot, Maybe I can be her boyfreind Her husband is a freek, LOL. Hope she shows more skin next time and sings more slutty shit like Britney.
    Just kidding , she has ruined herself.
    But I did watch it 3 times, sorry. She is a sexy thang.

  96. Alex of Ketchup  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    I guess we can chalk this up to her marrying the caveman from Sum 41.

  97. As a dirty old man, I like it.

  98. amanda white  |   Posted on Feb 28th, 2007

    i REALLY love this song and to all the haters your like so what ever
