Occasionally, the Internet is a weird force for good. Due to Internet dares started by Something Awful, Smashmouth singer Steve Harwell will attempt to eat two dozen eggs cooked by Guy Fieri — for charity. Douchologists are calling this the douchiest philanthropic event since the Sigma Chi’s spring break wet t-shirt contest in Daytona Beach benefited Livestrong. Let’s go to the douchey press release:
The spontaneous request was immediately backed by a multitude of fans via [Something Awful], Twitter and Facebook continuously urging Harwell to eat the eggs. Soon, it became one of the hottest trending topics on Twitter and Yahoo, and like an encore chant at a live concert, Harwell had no choice but to submit to their pleas.
Harwell responded in an effort to legitimize the request, telling fans if they could raise over $10,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a charity very near to Steve’s heart, he would eat the eggs. The band launched a fundraising page on Causes.com and watched as fans came through to meet the goal in less than a week.
The Egg Challenge will take place October 10th at Fieri’s Johnny Garlic’s restaurant in Dublin, California. And since the money’s already been donated to charity, it won’t be a total bust if, say, everyone at the event is incinerated by a meteor. Hint hint, God.

… and like an encore chant at a live concert…
Steve has no idea what this means.
HEY NOW, YOU’RE A ROCK STAR, GET YOUR ‘NAISE ON, EAT… EEEGGGS
And yet my “Have Alison Brie and Blake Lively shower with La Schmoove for Charity” falls on deaf ears.
I said YEP, what conCEPT, I could eat few eggs myself, and they could ALLL, use a little, ‘NAAAAAAAISE….
Diggin the ‘douchebags’ tag.
Not diggin the identical douchebag haircuts on those guys.
THE EGGS START COMING AND THEY DON’T STOP COMIN, FED TO MY FACE AND THEN I SHIT MY PANTS RUNNIN…
(It’s that possible threat of seeing La Schmoove naked. But Don’t tell him.)
Is it possible this is just a brilliant scheme to get them together in the same place. I’m just saying, 2 birds, 1 stone.
Vince is killin’ it.
Haha. Screw Sigma Chi
So much to stew, so much to eat, so what’s wrong with devlin an egg treat…
Only shooting stars break the jello mold.
/begins penning suicide note
No fair, Vince played bass in a Smashmouth tribute band.
HOLY FUCK, THE VIDEO HAS DANE COOK IN IT! IT’S LIKE A PERFECT DOUCHE STORM!!

Matt raised the same amount or more in the same time and he’s not even a celebrity, except to us of course.
IT WAS LOOKIN” KINDA YUM TWEEN MY FINGER AND MY THUMB, IN THE SHAPE, OF AN EGG, DOWN THE HATCH NOW…
But will Guy Fieri be wearing faux-denim boxer briefs?
The ingredients for the eggs include water and vinegar.
It’s a cool taste, but they say it gets bolder, you’re breaded up now, wait till you rolleder, but the meatier snack beg ta differ, judging by my rolls, I’m too fight for tight pictures…
“Douchologists are calling this the douchiest philanthropic event since the Sigma Chi’s spring break wet t-shirt contest in Daytona Beach benefited Livestrong.”
That is the best sentence I’ve ever read on the internet. Well done, sir. /shows boobs
*fat for tight pictures. Goddammit.
THEN I SAW GUY’S FACE… NOW I’M AN EGG EATER
NOT A TRACE… OF ‘NAISE IN MY EYE
The ice cream shake, is gettin pretty thin. The gravy’s gettin warm so I might as well dip…
OH GOD I CAN’T STOP, I LOVE POP MUSIC AND FOOD PUNS
I THOUGHT GUY FIERI’S EGGS WERE FAIRY TALES
FRIED FOR SOMEONE ELSE BUT NOT FOR ME
MY MOUTH’S ON FIRE, HOW ABOUT YOURS, CAYENNE’S HOW I LIKE EGGS AND I’LL NEVER GET BORED….

WHY CAN’T WEEEEE EAT HENS, WHY CAN’T WE EAT HENS, WHY CAN’T EAT HENS, WHY CAN’T EAT HENNNNNNSSSSSS….
Vince is bringing his A game today.
Where do I donate money for DG’s airfare out there for this event? So he can smash Guy Fieri in the mouth.
Can someone start a fundraiser to fly @dadboner out to meet his idols?
AND JUST LIKE MASHIN IT’S A PASSION FOR ‘NAISE AND YOLK TO GET WHIPPED…
This begs the question, was Vince given his job at FD by being the best commenter ever?
I wish I knew some Smashmouth songs*. They’re just an American Chumbawumba, aren’t they?
*Weren’t those Noel Coward’s last words?
HEY NOW, YOU’RE A YOLK BALL, GET YOUR ‘NAISE ON, GET…BAAAAAAAKED

@Taco
Not exactly, but that is how Burnsy, Chodin, Robopanda, et. al. started working here.
Aww, Vince, you left out DG. Poor DG, always getting left out.
2 Men.
1 Bowl of Peroxide.
24 Deviled Eggs.
A challenging challenge to bring a community together.
Catch one of the hottest trending topics on Twitter and see if these two douchebags can overcome adversity and save the lives of children at St. Judes Hospital.
ABC Family, this fall…
Oh shit, I live like 10 miles away from that place. I will be able to smell the vinegar from my living room for sure.
SomeBODY once asked, could I SPARE some change or cash, I need to BUY MYSELF SOME EGGS AND SOME ‘NAAAAAAISE….
Eat the eggs, Steve. Now you have to. For the children. EAT THE EGGS.
Up until now I thought Guy Fieri was the dude from Smash Mouth
