'''They Might Be Giants''' (commonly abbreviated to TMBG) is an American alternative rock duo consisting of John Linnell and John Flansburgh that formed in 1982. Best known for their unconventional and experimental style, the group has found success on the modern rock and CMJ charts, in the children's music genre, and in theme music for several television programs and films.

The group's popularity with LNH [[Writers]] has led to many characters, storylines and in-jokes based on the band.

: "What's up with They Might Be Giants and [[RACC]]? One of these days I'll have to listen to one of their songs."
: —[[Arthur Spitzer]], in 2005

== Usage ==

The band inspired the LNH members [[Constellation]], [[Particle Man]], and [[Ana Ng]]; in fact, many of Particle Man's powers are based on They Might Be Giants songs. Two groups of super-villains, [[They Might Be Villains]] and [[Pencil Rain]], are also homages to the band. [[Size of the Entire Universe Man]] is a cosmic entity who mediates the universal force of the '''TheyMightBePowers'''.

In addition to ''[[Constellation (series)|Constellation]]'' and ''[[Particle Man (series)|Particle Man]]'', the mini-series ''[[Birds Fly]]'' took its title from a They Might Be Giants song.

Many LNH characters have identified themselves as They Might Be Giants fans. [[Easily-Discovered Man Lite]] wore a They Might Be Giants T-shirt as part of his costume, and all of the songs in the [[RACCCafe]] jukebox are by They Might Be Giants.

Other LNH characters (and writers) have often expressed confusion over the constant stream of TMBG references.
