These people, intentionally or not, are surrealist comedy geniuses. And they just gave a shoutout to metafilter and M'thowie. posted by piratebowling at 10:26 PM on March 18 [1 favorite]
I always laugh when I see anything that says "plug Metafilter". It makes it sound like whoever is doing the plugging broke it. posted by iamkimiam at 11:18 PM on March 18

Oh sure, MetaFilter says that now but last night when it was drunk? I totally could have had my way with it but I was a gent. posted by KevinSkomsvold at 7:42 AM on March 19

Is it really "math-owie"? I thought it was "mat-howie". posted by loiseau at 9:03 AM on March 19
It's "matt-how-ee" and, while we're at it, "Mee-Fie". Don't cross me, folks.
Fred and Sharon are lovely. They can pronounce anything any way they like. Until they sign up for their own accounts here, of course, when they become part of the mass of folks who shouldn't cross me. posted by maudlin at 9:21 AM on March 19
I feel the same compulsion to watch their videos that I feel when passing a major traffic accident and am unable to turn away. Fascinating. posted by owtytrof at 9:22 AM on March 19
Thank you maudlin. I was thinking "what, pronouncing it 'matt howie' has been wrong all this time?"
(note: I do not frequently have reason to say 'matt howie' out loud. But when it comes up, I'd like to get it right) posted by adamrice at 10:08 AM on March 19

See? I'm really easy to get along with. If you don't cross me. posted by maudlin at 10:18 AM on March 19
His NAME is pronounced Matt Howie, but the cool kids say his username math-owie, or mah-thowie.
