The joke is that he's so small the feather that looked normal in Forrest Gump appears ostrish-sized in his hands.

Probably the coolest song ever written specifically about being uncool.

The reason this song works for me is that it feels not like some guy complaining that he doesn't get chicks, it's instead like your friend venting about how he doesn't get chicks. It feels like you're hanging out drinking a couple beers together and you're chatting with your buddy about the finer things in life neither of you got. It's not self-centered and judgey, it's commiserative and laid-back, which makes it go down much better.

todd has an uncanny ability to make me click on a video about a song I’ve never heard of before with genuine excitement

For what it's worth, Skee-Lo is five foot four. Google told me his correct height when I wrote the episode, but now it's telling everyone he's five eight. In interviews he's said he's five four, Google is wrong now, unless he got his wish.

I always took the "I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat" as a brief swerve into sarcasm, a self-aware acknowledging the pointless nature of wishing in the "if wishes were horses..." vein before going on to a classic car impossibly out of his affordability.

His wife being labeled as 'Mrs. Skee-Lo' made me spit out my drink

I always liked this song. It wasn't whiny or entitled. He never blamed the girls in his life for not liking him. It helped give the song staying power where other "woe is me" type songs fell flat as soon as my teen self stopped being such an angsty brat.

Skee-Lo went to my middle school. He came back and held a concert for all us young-uns, probably my first "real concert". It was really real

I've been watching Todd for years, and it's strange as all get out to hear him say things like "I can afford" and "my car is pretty nice." Good on you, Todd.

It feels like Skee-Lo could've claimed basically anything and there'd be no way to check. "Yeah, I've been staying busy... cured cancer, fought a dragon. Producing, mostly."

Maybe it’s just me, but hearing him get more confident with every successive single was pretty hilarious. He’s the hip hop personification of “I’ll have her home by 9” turning into “your daughter calls me daddy now.”

This song is one of those "dated in a good way" songs. Whenever you hear it, it feels like 1995. What I wouldn't give to have the occasional hip-hop hit like this again.

I always took "I wish I had a rabbit in a hat" as like, "yeah I wish I was literally a magician, me being able to do magic is about as likely as everything else happening".

"Well Skee-Lo, you've had a hit record and a hit music video, have you decided on your third wish?"

Todd taking the extra 3 seconds to drag Family Guy is why he’s still my favorite silhouette on the internet.

LOL -- Nard did not wind up making Christian music for very long. He wound up back here in Dallas, screwed up on stuff and living in a really crappy apt complex down the street from where I used to live. He is considered jazz royalty on the local scene, though. He's a god-damned wizard on a keyboard. Hell, he was runner-up for the job in Parliament. Just for anyone who cares. (I got a video of him w/ a very short jazz jam on my channel if you're curious.)

I gotta note that writing about being a one-hit wonder made Mike Posner a TWO hit wonder.

Been watching Todd since 2013 and it makes me genuinely happy to hear he has a nice car now after all these years when he used to joke a lot about driving a run-down piece of crap. Proud of you man.

This is one of those magical songs where I have never found a person who hates it. Indifferent, sure. Hate? Nah. It transcended. "The Great American Rap Song". The dude should be proud of that one hit.
