They marched last year.
They are good people and do good things, but I don't think they are a good fit for that parade

They annoy the hell out of me too. People who like Kevin Hart are probably the only people dumb enough to find the 610 stompers clever or funny.

There was a good article the other day about the attempt by people who have transplanted themselves into New Orleans to try and send things traditionally associated with New Orleans into hyperdrive. The spike in second lines, jazz funerals organanized by white kids, new Mardi Gras krewes, parades for everything and every group, and cheesy attempts to ride tired Yat culture are examples of this. People who follow around the 610 stompers and find them entertaining fit right in this. I'm not sure how many times someone can watch the same thing and find it hysterical, but it takes all kinds...


Is there a link to this article? I'd like to share that with a few people

So what's your problem? Who cares if you don't get it. They've done it before and will be doing it again. Don't watch if you "don't get it".

Yeah that article sounds on point.

610 Stompers look like they have fun and are nice fellows and all, but they are not entertaining to me at all. People who are enamored with them are either being hyper-new orleanian or are kinda dumb.

I'm holding a balloon again this year. It's a good time.

Kinda how I feel. I don't turn my back when they dance during Mardi Gras or anything, but the idea of going to one of those pub crawls they do

Dudes fricking rock. My favorite part of most parades. So much jealous hate.

Sorry you didn't make the team.

But honestly, how can anybody "hate" these guys? You have to see them for what? 50 seconds during any given parade?

How many terrible marching bands did you hear blaring "uptown funk" this year? Relax. Fat boys.

The last time they were in the Macy's parade, the announcers didn't know what to make of them. They were like "ummm, well, ummm." That was actually funny.

I think that, in fact, they Do take themselves too seriously. There are a whole bunch of marching krewes of every satirical stripe, but none but the 610's started advertising on busses and billboards and tv, and none march in out of town parades.

That's called, taking yourself too seriously.

If it's just a bunch of locals making merry during carnival season, then it's funny. The Rolling Elvi, the Pussy Footers, the Laissez Boys, etc, seem a lot funnier because of this.
