Internet Phenomenon

Chuggo has released only one official music video, for the opening track on his first album, "Ah C'mon." The video was posted on YouTube on June 11, 2006, but was relatively unknown. Indie rock forum Hipinion began the video's ascent to popularity before it ultimately garnered widespread attention when it was featured on SomethingAwful during April 2008. It quickly gained both popularity and notoriety, and as of December 2010 had registered over 600,000 views. The video features Chuggo angrily making his way through a surreal and stylized cityscape called "CHUGGO WOULD." Much of the video's popularity stems from its misogynistic and over-the-top lyrics and its poor production quality. The video is popularly referred to as "C'mon Fuck a Guy," which is a misinterpretation of its refrain "C'mon Fucking Guy." Chuggo initially took umbrage at the mistake, but now says that the popularity of the video has resulted in his gaining "more fans than ever."
