Sorry, Kraftwerk: Paul Rudd’s Sexy Computer New Wave Band Is Here to Stay

We all know God created man in the form of computer. But did you also know God created man to form a computer-focused new wave band to debut on SNL? 33 percent Devo, 33 percent Kraftwerk, and 33 percent B52s, the Electric Computers were (very sadly) cut for time on this week’s episode, but their timeless message will not be silenced: Computer is our one true master. Computer shows no mercy. Still confused? “Of course you are, you live in a digital age where computers are king.” But what if we don’t want that? “To become free, all mankind needs is to rise up and destroy computer. There’s only one problem, you see: Mankind kind of likes it.” Come for the glossy hair, stay for the non-stop breaking at the third minute.
