- 3 guys are waiting for the bus. (Audio is by the comedy group "The Vestibules")
I made this video as my independent study in 2006 at the University of Iowa. It took about 300 hours, if I remember correctly. It's made with the rotoscope animation process which is where you take live action footage and essentially trace it to create a new effect.

A few minutes ago, someone said "Gazebo," so it was - of course - my pride and duty to introduce them to this masterpiece.
you did your duty. thank you.
@@spejampar S glad you reply to comments on this video 14 years later 😆
@@PeregrineChurch I will reply until I die! And even then I may figure out a way.
I get this with Tuberculosis, maaklaaks and Macadamia 😄 Tuberculosis was on Jeopardy last night so I linked this video to my uploads and in a community post. Thank u for making life FUN 🙂
😂😂
like 7 years ago, one of my high school teachers played this in class with no context and i’ve never forgot about it. me and my best friend still quote this after college
quote it up!
HALF MY CLASS WAS HAVING SOME SORT OF BREAKDOWN SO MY TEACHER PLAYED THIS TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER
Sounds like it worked! Had you seen it before?
@@spejampar i haven't but it did work!
I just got a robo call which gave me the option of leaving a message on my state representative's answering machine. I happened to have this vid playing at the time. Guess what I did.
+InfraDog Brilliant!
Lol, that's hilarious!
+InfraDog lol! Amazing!!!

LEGEND
TUBERCULOSIS.
Foyble!

I die laughing every time when he starts saying the echoing words.
This guy is a legend. Still responding to comments after 13 years.
I’d wager that this was one of the very first videos I ever watched on TH-cam when the platform was new. Thanks for the blast from the past, my dude.
I have decided not to reply to comments anymore and this will be the first one that I won't reply to. So you won't get a reply from me. Nope. No replies. ;)
Thanks for watching!
I stumbled upon this video at 2am.
I've never laughed this hard in my life. Surreal humor is the best.
lol same
Heck yeah man😆😆
The parts where his words like tuberculosis are echoing kill me every time and idk why 💀
4 years later...& I came across this video at exactly 2:24 AM, soooo same LMAO!
If you check out the credits you'll notice that it says the audio was created by The Vestibules and I don't hide that fact. If you search "Bulbous Bouffant" in TH-cam, you'll find a TON of other people who have used this very same audio. Actually, you probably see some of those in the bar on the left. In addition, I actually contacted The Vestibules and got official permission from them to create the video in the first place.
Did they see this video? If so, what did they think of it?
@@MadMetalhead After I made the video I sent it to them and I don't think they said much. Probably something like "Good job!" If they said anything I think it was pretty simple. I know someone else could've done a better job with the animation (it's not even technically finished) but I guess I was just the first! ;)
@@spejamparI really like the effect and look you got. Pretty unique and cool
@@banditmill Thanks! It's pretty simple because there was SO much to draw but I'm glad you like it!
Oh man, I remember hearing this on Dr Demento way back in the day. My nerdy ass friends and I used to practice the skit and we performed it for random kids at recess. I was the booming voice at the end that said shit like TUBERCULOSIS. Good times.
That's awesome! I didn't hear it until the anniversary collection it was on (25th?) because I wasn't a regular listener of the radio show but it clicked so hard with me immediately.
I would've fit right in with your nerdy friends. ;)
I showed this to a university class full of future English teachers as we began a unit on methods for teaching vocabulary. Theorists tell us to get students excited about language (words). If this doesn't do it, nothing will! My future teachers cracked up--and then filled the board with other "fun" words! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing it with future educators!
i love when he says "macadamia"
MajiBuscus OOOOOOOOO
gaZEBOOOO
Ooooooo
OOOOOO
Oooooh !
I have co-workers with daily dialogue that sounds like this. "I noticed you aren't filing any TPS reports today, John."
My shoes got wet this morning stepping into a puddle and I said I could've used some galoshes, which brought me back to this classic.
Everything always comes back to this. Do your co-workers know about this video?
I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t know this jem exists
You and be both. Feel free to give a little share so they can join the cool kids. ;)
*gem
*me* Not *be*
Y’all I used this video as an academic source in an English essay
That is the logical thing to do.
Yes
I have never laughed so much at the word tuberculosis before.
It's hilarious! ;)
This lives rent free in my head, and pops up at the most random times. Currently, I'm waiting for a bus. And I so badly want to ask the person next to me if they're waiting for the bus. In a perfect world, and my delusional mind, they would start singing this song with me.
Oh, please do this some day. I'm sure most people would be confused by the question but if you ask enough people, you might find that special person who gets the joke. Let me know! :)
i work in a store that sells gazebos and i cannot get through a day of work without this popping in my head😂
You are the intended audience! ;)
I literally typed in blubber igloo ascemo cezebo balooga whale shin dig terberculoses to look 4 dis vid
You gotta do what you gotta do.
I have bulbous bouffant saved in my head. Most of the other words also trigger the "tune" for me! :P
You got some of those words correct.
I just search galoshes
This is an adult sesame street scetch if ive ever seen one
Puppets, baby!
I FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN
Me too LOL
lol
My science teacher played this in-class one year and it was a running joke to say bulbous bouffant for no reason all year long
Keep it going! Say it to strangers!
I remember my 4th grade teacher showed this to the class and I haven't found it until now.
It took me seven fucking years to find this.
Literally same
I saw this when it first came out and it just now suddenly shot into my memory randomly when I heard the word buffont.
I hope you'll come back in another 14 years or so. :)
16 years later and I'm still coming back to this video. I've always loved that the initial character is a basic puppet, the second is a rough cartoon outline and the third is an accurate human, yet they all get silly in the end!
Come back in another 16 years! ;)
You may not know this, but the BOTH of the first characters are puppets! I still have them in my closet!
Macadamiaaaa. I cannot tell you how many laughs this video has brought to myself and countless others who've I've shared this with. I've been watching it for YEARS. THANK YOU!!
Thank you! Be sure to check out more videos from The Vestibules. Keep on sharing it!
This has haunted me for almost 2 decades
And it will likely haunt you for another 2+ decades. You're welcome! ;)
My friends had this memorized in high school 16 years ago. The other day I was waiting for the bus with my neighbor and it bubbled up through my subconscious like a gelatinous jellyfish the cycle is complete
Is it still memorized?
What's the next cycle? Something good I hope.
@@spejampar holy shit, I can't believe you're still alive
@@spejampar ...quite a lot of it.
Next? Saving the world, maybe...? I'm still trying to figure that out
@@bebopadoowop I'll never die.
Saving the world is good. I'm working on that too. Don't worry. The next cycle will be great, no matter what it is.
this is how easy guys become friends
13 years later, still laughing my ass off to this😅
Thanks for bringing this back into my life. And love the animation! When I was in 5th or 6th grade i would sometimes record Dr. Demento, which came on Sunday nights @ 10:30. I'd hit record, then fall asleep listening to that crackpot, then listen to the rest on my Walkman over the week's bus rides and lunch lines. This skit was important to me as high art, which I forced friends to try and reproduce with me for years and years... to this day when we get together.
That's awesome. I've heard o MANY people tape recording his show. I actually borrowed some tapes in HS from an older person and that's how I learned about "The 30 Point Buck" which I once had totally memorized.
I'm very glad you forced your friends to listen to this sketch and that I was able to bring this back into your life. ;)
The normal guy looks so hilarious compared to the puppets
I haven't watched this video in YEARS but tonight someone brought up gazebos and it awoke this deep memory from the back of my mind and I had to come find this video and rewatch it 👌
Yay!
13 years and it's still funny as hell
I want to meet the genius who rotoscoped a muppet
Hello! That's me! I'm no genius but I did like rotoscoping a puppet and I'll do it again! :)
@@spejampar wow. Didn't know you would still be active after 13 years
@@M0thMan007 I may not be making stuff like this these days, but I'm still alive and trying to create whatever I can! In my free time, I'm mostly working on 3 podcasts.
Kermit 😯
Constantly craving a sequel.
Any time I hear “blubber”, “macadamia” or “gazebo”, I start singing” blubber, macadamia, blubber, gazebo!”
And I would join in if I were there!
Hullabaloo
Heard this ages forever ago idr where but it always pop's into my head every now and then. Then this just pops up in my feed. Today is the best day ever of this week!
Woohoo! TH-cam algorithms doing a good job!
I literally just found this again after years! I used to have a teacher who gave use new vocab words every week and he used this video for our new vocab one week! To this day I still remember how about 20 middle schoolers absolutely died laughing at the word tuberculosis all while my teacher called us sociopaths 🤣
I think "Tuberculosis" is one of the funnier parts of the sketch. You were correct to laugh so much!
This feels like a fever dream
It might be.
As soon as I hear someone say bulbous, this is in my head.
As it should be. Obviously! ;)
Everyday I try to make a more entertaining video.
but Damnit how. How, Damnit.
practice
ghbn
The audio has been about since 1997 or so. Just needed the animation (which still makes this awesome. I much prefer this to the live version from TV.
I think the content you make is pretty good, I especially like the video you made on female mercys, you should consider making more content like that (:
My geography teacher showed this video to the class and everyone was dying of laughter, especially me. I love the guy just going "Macadamia"
OOOHHHH!!!!
I'm curious why your geography teacher showed this. Usually it's English teachers.
@@spejampar because she just shows our class anything and she wanted to show this because she got a good laugh out of it.
@@PartyMarty4212 I love that!
THE Geography teacher here ~ great content, good laughs. I integrate it into my Canada unit for kids to identify all things that could be found there 😂 score one for Beluga whales!
Somehow and for no apparent reason, this popped into my head the other day just as I was going to bed. I started laughing to myself and didn't tell the wife. How could I? Still I had to look it up this morning
Have you enlightened her yet? Otherwise she'll think you're bonkers. Maybe you are! I don't know you! Hello fellow bonkers friend!
This video is legendary
I've always wanted to be a legend. I can quit now.
This was such an iconic part of my childhood. I just thought of it randomly and remembered BULbous BOUffant MACADeMiA GAZebo TUBERCULOSIS 😂😂 What a masterpiece. Had to watch it again
Glad you came back!
I love how you give the funny word instigator Muppet-like features. Glad I'm not the only one who always thought he sounded like Kermit the Frog.
Thanks! I can't even remember if I did that on purpose or not. I sort of had that look in my head and I found a puppet that was pretty close. It may not have been conscious but the muppets definitely influenced me from childhood so I'm sure there's a connection there.
I'm waiting for the 10-hour version!
Hmmmmm, I'll have to think about that. :)
@@spejampar "a beluga whale...BELUGA!"
Blubber.
Yes, the Eskimos eat the blubber.
Yes
and the blubber comes from different types of whales.
What hairstyle is that?
It's a Bulbous Bouffant.
Oh man, this is so flippin hilarious xD
25 years ago my local radio station played this 1 time and it's been stuck in my head ever since
It has that affect, doesn't it?
This was the very first youtube video i watched. i’m so glad I found this masterpiece again.
my history teacher showed this video to my class last friday. best thing ever 😭🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! Come back any time!
@@spejampar WILL DO
Whenever the TV says "and now, a word from our sponsors", _these_ are the words that I think of. 🤣
I wish those were the words they said! :)
This animation was a formative part of my 2007 self-identity. Happy that it's still kicking around
I hope you've pulled yourself out of that 2007 self-identity and found a new video. 😉
"HULLABALOOOOO"
still gets me everytime
my brother remade this with his friend and my dad a few years ago for his fifth grade talent show. when my dad came on stage with “excuse me, I don’t mean to interrupt whatever you’re doing over here..” the crowd froze. they thought they were gonna watch some ten year old get chewed out by his dad.
Haha! That's hilarious! Is there video of this?
@@spejampar sadly, no, not that i can find.
@@reva6331 Sounds like a great memory though. If he came up from the audience, that would've been even freakier!
@@spejampar he did! we were sitting in the middle, and right when they got to the part where the guy comes to the bus stop, my dad stood up from the audience and yelled across the room, “EXCUSE ME, I DON’T MEAN TO INTERRUPT WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING OVER HERE….” and the crowd all turned to stare at him.. “BUT IS THIS WHERE YOU CATCH THE BUS?”
i kid you not, the biggest sigh of relief came from that crowd when they realised it was part of the act.
@@reva6331 That is awesome! What a creative way to bring that 3rd character in! I love it.
"Tuberculosis"

This video is deeply ingrained in my memory. I remember watching with my whole family on our TV, multiple times over, when I was really little. We only watched it the one day, but I don't think that I could ever forget it
I'm glad to have had an effect on your little brain. Feel free to check out other sketches by "The Vestibules" for more silliness.
Thank You Dr Demento.
He says "You're Welcome! Woo woo WOO!"
What a classic! I show this video to people who are learning English as a second language, and they LOVE it!
This popped into my head today and all my friends thought I was crazy. I'm so glad this is still on the internet.
Me too!
I hope you showed them you're not crazy! (I mean, you might be. I don't know)
This is what people did for entertainment while waiting for things before phones.
My dad first played this for me when i was 11. We were driving through wisconsin.
I hope you enjoyed it!
Best part about WI, the bulbous buffants
I remember hearing this skit for the first time waaaaaay back when I could barely understand a lick of english. It was... odd x)
I can only imagine what it sounds like to a non-english speaker! :)
Shit, I can't remember how many years it's been since I've heard this...
digiangel234 I heard this back in like 2004 or earlier, it’s now 2018 and it was probably around before I heard it, making this easily over 20 years old. Man time flies
My 6th grade English teacher showed my class this video and it's lingered in my the back of my head for all these years.
I hope it lingers forever.
This is so very old, from the far reaches of the First Era of the Internet of Things. It holds in its moments the keys into a former age, to the understanding of the core of humor. This, my friends, this is the essence of early 21st century comedy. Be that as it may, this relic has, unfortunately, never seen the popularity it deserves. May it rest in honor, to be referenced by niche friend groups for years to come. Not fading from our memories, and preserved in the unending archives of the ever-growing world wide web.
Haha?
I would be honored if it was inducted into "The Museum of the First Era of the Internet of Things", and I'm sure The Vestibules would too. You clearly have good taste.
Just shared this with my toddler for the first time. The first of many many many more to come! Thanks bud!
Oh, you are going to have so much fun with the toddler for YEARS! Enjoy!
My mom used to play this in the car when i was little
I still know every word.
Why?
When that guys hair said “🥦”. I felt that
Every couple of years I randomly think about this and it’s stuck in my head for about a week
I have been listening to this for years and anytime someone says a random word this plays through my head and never stops. I love it so much. My childhood right here.
The Vestibules did a great job making us hear words in another way.
Yes they did
This is the funniest thing my older brother showed me
I have no idea what this shit is, but I couldn't stop watching it.
My plan is working.
I've been showing your animated version of this classic since mid 2010's to my AP Language and Composition students - and I save it until the class before their 3 hour AP exam for a special "if your mind goes blank" strategy about rhetorical analysis. Credit to the clever and wise teacher at an AP conference in 2008 (Allegheny College) for suggesting this. Mr. Parks, thank you so much for all those hours crafting the animation and for posting this, too. It's fun for me and my students and our year wouldn't be the same without it.
Thank you for the kind words! I wish it were higher quality and finished, but I'm thrilled that people are still watching it regularly. Keep up the good work teaching the youngin's!
This has been one of my favorite videos for 9 years. I watch it pretty often lmao
Thank you! It's not as high quality as I would like but that's ok! ;)
@@spejampar no no... It is perfection and just the way it should be
@@leighlou5345 Amazing
First time I heard this I was living with 2 visually impaired friends that were listening to this plus lots of Dr Demento and Bob Rivers stuff. Good old days I am glad I found this again. I hope they are doing well now missed them ever since I moved away.
Glad you found it!
I haven’t seen this in at least 10 years. What a perfect video to rediscover at 2:45am
It's 3 35 am for me lol
I just thought of the word macadamia today and had to come watch this.
That is exactly what people should be doing every time they think of words like macadamia, tuberculosis, blubber, gazebo, etc. Thank you.
Legit how I came back to this. I searched macadamia funny video
my family has been watching this video for about 14 years now, any time we need a cheer up. even now, just saying "beluuuga" cracks us all up. i still show it to people now. thank you for the years of laughter
Thanks for spreading the love! Let's keep it going!
Heard this first when I bought a Dr. Demento CD because it had a couple Weird Al's songs on it! But having heard this, it's become an instinct classic! I love it when someone asks me a closed ended questions, I respond Nooo, the Eskimos! Or a BaluGA whale! Those enlightened by this recording catch it instantly, others just look at me and walk away w a pained, strained look on their face! I've even memorized this with my daughters, and make for a fun car ride as we roll along saying/ singing mukluks/placebo/blubber / blubber/blubber/ shindig
Same situation for me! I found the 20th anniversary collection on cassette and had to get it because I was already a fan of Weird Al so of course I'm going to love more funny music! And I did. I was with my mom and when popped it in the tape player when we got in the car. "Delicious" played and it was kind of awkward being with my mom. 😆
I'm glad you and your daughters have bonded over this nonsense. Woohoo!
in 4th grade our spelling test had all these words in it. i havent heard this song since then
ROCKING TEACHER YOU HAD!
havnt seen this in years
How is it?
So yesterday, my two 8years literally went by EVERY person in the store and said... I notice you're not wearing golashas.... 😂😂😂
awesome kid
*Hullabaloo.*
Oh man I haven't seen this since I was a kid but its lived rent free in my head for years. Thank you.
May it live rent free for the rest of eternity!
My partner mentioned making mukluks and it turned out he'd only heard this up to blubber or so, not the full version. His delight made my year.
His delight makes my year too! Is he making mukluks by hand? Or has he created a cocktail called "mukluk"? ;)
T U B E R C U L O S I S
Gotta watch out for that.
Just realized this video came out 5 months after I was born which explains why my dad played this all the time when I was a baby
The audio itself is much older than this video so your dad may have been aware of it even before you were born, but either way, your dad is awesome.
For a simple short cartoon, you did a really good job. The differences in the three characters. I'm an English major and that was interesting for my ears. Thank you for your creation.
Thank you for the kind words! I can only take credit for the visual because the audio was done by a sketch comedy group years ago, which is obviously the best part of the video. I just did my visual interpretation of it with the skills I had 11 years ago.
My toddler children got stuck on the word "stupid" because they heard it and think it sounds funny. I'm glad this is still here so I can use it to redirect their attention.
There are definitely better words to highlight than "stupid"!
@@spejampar Certainly a plethora!
my teacher showed this to our class and was dying of laughter the whole time
You have a good teacher. Tell them I said so.
@@spejampar will do 😍 she’d love to hear that her idol thinks positively of her
@@jordanlaurie1170 If only I was someone's idol! Sadly, her real idols are "The Vestibules", a sketch comedy group from Canada. I'm just the peon who put some crappy visuals to their ridiculous audio. :)
@@spejampar no spencer, you see the animation is the best part and is what makes it a beautiful piece of work
@@jordanlaurie1170 I will take that to my heart and store it there forever. You're wrong, but I appreciate it. 😉

Because it’s there.
Hello SOC175 classmate, I'm glad I found someone here
@@OfficiallyJay99 Is this the same SOC175 I'm thinking about from UCR? lol
My children say these words are also fun to say: flabbergasted, bumbling/bumbled, pickles, curly, calendar, coral, Mediterranean, popcorn, chocolate, apricots, zillion, cassette, and googol.
Saw a gazebo today and had to come revisit this.
Perfect! That is the most logical thing to do!
Came here looking for a dog name. Macadamia is in the running!
That is a fantastic dog name! And you definitely came to the right place. I hope that if you do in fact choose "macadamia" and you tell people the name, they go "OOOHH!!!"
For some reason I love how “Puppet one” as I like to call him just appears with just the word *”SPATULA”*
What do you call the other 2 characters? ;)
@@spejampar sneakers guy and human guy
@@Blokythebunny05 I approve. Just call me "human guy" from now on!
If you tip your head back and say it slowly it feels so good
i just randomly found this and its, i gotta honestly say one of the best videos out there. My first play was basically me skipping a bunch and watching it very quickly. However later that day i just couldn't get it out of my head. It wasnt in my youtube or browser history so couldnt even find it again for a few minutes and i was getting worried. but luckily i did and now i cant stay away. MUKLUK!
Glad you were able to find it again! Welcome to the club and invite everyone you know! ;)
@@spejampar oh im a bit too old for it now. but i know if i were to have found this 10 years ago it would definitely have become a thing with my friends and I. Many quotes indeed. side note; i must have watched this video atleast 10 times now. I briefly checked out other content and the original of this but your animation makes the entire thing.
@@Izziana You're never too old for silly words! (But I know what you mean)
Thanks for watching so much and thanks for saying that my animation makes it. I know the audio is the best part, but it's nice to hear that people like the visuals too (even though the quality is crappy).
10 years ago and you still get new comments on this video. That’s got to be some level of gratifying. :)
Very much so! It's very strange and satisfying to me. Thanks for being here!
How does this not have literally billion views
Make it happen! ;)
This is true art.
