Video: Jimmy Kimmel has pranked a load of gullible people into talking about fake bands again

Is that an Irish accent at the start of the clip?

Is that an Irish accent at the start of the clip?

Have you ever heard of Mary Kate and nasty, Eddie and his man purse or Vlad and the Putins?

Do you find DJ Gluten hard to tolerate?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you are a liar and a musical snob of the highest order because such musical acts don’t actually exist.

People who claim to know loads about bands they’ve never even heard of do exist, however, and not for the first time, Jimmy Kimmel showed those people up for the snobs they are at the SXSW festival at the weekend.

Our personal favourites are Vlad and the Putins and the guy who may actually have had so much marijuana claiming to love the fictitious band So Much Marijuana.

And as for that girl in the pink t-shirt? There are no words.
