Campus Bros Starting to Feel Uncomfortable with how much they Like The Sing Off

Seven weeks into the show’s run, the Dartmouth Aires have captivated campus with their performance on NBC’s “The Sing Off.” However, this enthusiasm has caused self-proclaimed bros across campus to question whether or not they have surpassed the acceptable level of excitement over a televised a capella competition.

When a crowd of Phi Delts were asked last night about watching The Sing Off, they nervously replied that the Monday Night Football game was “on a commercial break” and “was going to be a complete blowout anyways.”

When interviewed further, Patrick Schwartz ’13, claimed, “It was pretty random. Forty guys just showed up at the house and we didn’t have anything to do so we decided to watch The Sing Off. Wouldn’t it be weird if we had planned it? What is this Sig Ep?”



Jacob Manningham ’12, a member of Theta Delta Chi fraternity who spoke the Dunyun under the condition of anonymity, explained, “I remember frosh fall, back when a capella was cool. That kid on my floor got into some group and we went to shows. But shit, that was three years ago before I had learned what I'm supposed to like?”

Manningham added, “But did you hear that Queen medley? It was unreal. I think it’s the top played song on my iTunes right now. And they killed it on Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy. Ben Folds’ criticism of bottom end was completely wrong.”

A member of Psi Upsilon fraternity wondered if his newfound infatuation with a capella violated some sort of rule of being a “sweet bro” but added, “I definitely wonder more about who decided that Nick Lachey is qualified to host a TV show and how many bad Ivy League jokes he can make.”
