One day a guy from Texas thought to himself "Y'know, what the world needs right now is another Nerf Herder except fat, untalented, and not funny." 3 of his friends agreed. They went on to form a band that skirts the boundaries of nerdcore, pop-punk, and just plain crap.
The band has a few good songs, most of which come about when they don't take themselves very seriously and succeed in being somewhat amusing, but then the lead singer is like "I want to make things kinda serious for a minute, and talk about this girl who left me 15 years ago." at which point their music becomes forgettable, cliche, and lame.
Bowling for Soup should have stayed in Texas.

Stop saying crap about this band, they make me happy when I am sad and they made me laugh when I cry. If a band has the power to do that they have achieved everything they need to in my opinion. I hope these guys make loads more albums cus even just reading the thnkyous in the lyrics booklet cracks me up, then I actually LISTEN to the lyrics. Good fun and hilarious. These guys are absolutely genious.
Ooooooh I feel so sad ... My boyfriend has just dumped me and my eyes are sore from crying so much ...
*Puts Bowling for Soup on*
Oooooh yay I've been instantly cheered up!! Thankyou Bowling for Soup you are absolute fucking LEDGENDS!

A band originating in Wichita Falls, Texas. After releasing ROCK ON HONORABLE ONES!!! they moved to Denton, Texas. in 2000, LETS DO IT FOR JOHNNY came out with many hilarious songs including their first single, "The Bitch Song". in 2002, they released DRUNK ENOUGH TO DANCE with 2 singles: "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" and "Emily". Bowling For Soup then re-released the album with "Punk Rock 101", which is the reason why many people think they are poseurs. In mid 2004, Bowling For Soup released their biggest and best album, A HANGOVER YOU DON'T DESERVE. It contained singles "1985", "Almost", and more recently, "Ohio (Come Back To Texas)". This album was VERY similar to Blink-182 and Sum 41's style of just having fun except a little less obnoxious.
A lot of people hate this band for a few reasons:
1: The overplaying of the song "1985" on the radio.
2: They're WAY too busy bitching about what's punk and what's not
3: They just don't like them, which is acceptable, but some people make fun of others for listening to "fake music"
So, Bowling for Soup is a great band. They just need more fans.
Real fan: I love Bowling For Soup! I have heard just about all of their songs and I can't get enough of them! Rock on Honorable ones!!!
Teenybopper: OMG I WUV BFS!!! JAWET IS SO HOTT!!! NOT NOW IS BEST SONG!!! HATERS BURN IN HELL!!!
Real hater: I am not a fan of Bowling For Soup. I have heard just about all of their songs and I don't like it. However, I accept the fact that some people may like this band.
Retard: BFS suxx0rz!!! 1985 sux THERE4, BfS SUXXXXXXXXXX!!!! FanZ BERN IN HeLl!1!!11!1!!!1!!1!2

Bob: Hey have you seen the music video for Emily?
Bill: Yeah, it's funny when that fat dude wears a dress and make-up just to take a piss inside. But Jaret ends up pissing himself at the end.

An awesome band from Texas, with a great sence of humour, and fully against the emo-movement (check out their song I'm Gay)!
Founded the Annual "Get Happy Tour" with Army of Freshmen.
Albums include Rock on Honourable ones!, Lets Do It For Johnny, Drunk Enough to Dance, A Hangover You Don't Deserve, Bowling For Soup goes to the Movies and latest record The Great Burrito Extortion Case.
Many people will only know BFS for thier song 1985, and anyone who thinks this is good should check out the rest of their stuff!
A lot of people are against BFS for 1985 being "overplayed" on the radio...fair enough if you have at least heard some other songs before dismissing them, but many just hate them without even listening to the music.
They are 4 of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
Virtually garunteed to put a big goofy smile on your face =D
Bowling For Soup are awesome, I love Drunk enough to Dance!
