Born Annoying
"You guys, man, you've gotta get organized," Jimmy Urine, lead singer of Mindless Self Indulgence, says scornfully, chiding an unruly and mostly antagonistic audience. "When I say, 'We,' you say, 'Suck.'" After following through with this call-and-response several times, Urine tags "Dick" on the end of the exchange.
