- Sam is the hero next door.
The unending labyrinth of identical welsh houses that is Ponty Pandy serves only to perplex, and torment those within its insurmountable walls. Sam has repeated the same scenario 97 times already, in which he fruitlessly attempts to quell a flood with flames. Someday, he will find a way out.

Play the video on a loop for maximum immersion
ok
will do!
ok
Immersion
alrighty then
One cannot disregard, Samuel is in absolute fact the heroic individual who is living next to one within the confines of a neighborhood
samuel....samuel rodrigues....JETSTREAM SAM.... *METAL GEAR RI-*
For you in particular cannot say otherwise, Samuel the Waterman is indeed confirmed to be incredible enough to earn the title of ‘hero’ of which is only given out the best and hardest working people in the area. He, in fact, also lives next door.
I made a verbose video based on the original show funnily enough: th-cam.com/video/fJFF4q1Km0s/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AlistairGeorge
yes
You, the individual reading this very document on whatever electronic device you may be interacting with, are hereby aware by said document that any attempts would be futile to deliberately make mentally nullified the entity known by the name "Sam," short for Samuel, whose occupation consists of "an individual responsible for extinguishing unwanted sources of water with a controlled flame," otherwise known as a Waterman, for he (referring to Sam) not only has the home whereabouts close in proximity to your (referring to You) home whereabouts, but he (Sam) is also generally recognized by a large amount of people to be one with such outstanding talents which are of great assistance to others in need that he is granted the honorary title of "Hero," short for "Heroine."
Something I find interesting about this animation is that it seems to be set in a world where water and fire are swapped, and it implies that Sam has been a "waterman" for a long time. Despite these factors, the fire doesn't help get rid of the water because it can't. Even in this strange world, things still make sense. But if this is the case it makes you wonder how "watermen" exist in this world in the first place and how Sam became popular even if nothing he ever does works. The reset button at the end also implies that every time he fails to stop the water, he has to relive the same day. Since he must always fail due to logic, his entire life could just be him doing this over and over again and that's how we got here in the first place. People in this world with the job of a "waterman" must be forced to do this over and over, basically stuck in their own time loop, possibly with hardly any memory of why they're doing this in the first place. It's pretty deep stuff when you think about it, even if it was only made a funny animation parodying a kid's show.
Or maybe I just overanalyse things...
What if that's the reason he destroys his alarm because he's heard it so many times it's driven into insanity
This is quite close to the tale of sispyhus, where sispyhus was cursed to roll up a boulder to the top of a mountain, but always would be cheated of reading the top.
In a way, waterman Sam is in the same situation. A undefeatable cycle.
Also even if he did remembered his memory after the reset, the whole world or town visibly got flooded at the ending. Thus if he just doesn't decide to do his water man duty, the cycle still continues. Unless of course if he thinks of a more creative solution to stop the flood rather than only using fire each reset xD
@@uningenious One must imagine Waterman Sam happy
The fact that watermen have their day loop every time they fail probably explains exactly how this world came to be.
After all, if a monkey writes infinitely, it'll eventually create the entire works of Shakespeare.
If X preforms an action infinitely, then logically, Y must happen at some point.
What I'm getting at is, if the watermen have to try every mission over and over until the water is stopped, then they logically eventually HAVE to succeed according to the laws of probability.
And since no-one else remembers the time loop, everyone just perceives it as watermen being really good at their job.

The way the girl's hand is drawn really does reveal the Amount of sanity Xploshi has.

That's not Sarah, that's Zarah!
And so Waterman Sam's career went down the drain.
Ohh I see what you did there

I had the strangest of problems the other day. The water spread though my whole house! Thankfully Waterman Sam was there to save the day, he truly is the hero next door!
Was it warm?
@one of onebot
he truly is
But he wasn't, the hose sprayed fire. He failed, and everything was underwater.
@JHONNY what the heck did I just click on?
0:59 “Keep at it boy! Give the water a walloping!” 😂
I don’t think Normans going to make it!
*hose extinguishes*
*Sam floating*
“TASK FAILED”
“RETRY”
That ending explains why it always seems he saves the day
*He Has The Ability To Learn From His Mistakes*
I truly cant ignore that sam is the hero next door.
Yeah for real
That’s what I was thinking
@visible didnt get rickrolled an ad saved my life from rickroll wow
Me too.
Hey that rhymes
I can't express how relieved I am to have someone like Sam in my neighborhood. I know if my house spontaneously floods, he can boil me alive like a lobster with his flamehose.
because he's the the hero next door
@@vanjavicko20 what would u think if u loop this 97 times?
It'd be more like a sauna since the water would absorb all the heat. Quite relaxing until the support beams of the house collapse under the sheer weight of multiple tons of water and send you barreling down the street into a busy highway with fireman Sam hot on your tail to boil the water out of your lungs with his industrial strength flamethrower.

As I Welsh person, I can confirm endlessly being drown in water is a legit problem we regularly face.
I do agree. Boré da by the way!

@@rhodriwilliams7962 is that something in fricking Welsh???
@@fragrantbusstop26 Yes that's Welsh!
Each time I reach for a glass of water to drink, I remember Waterman Sam and the dangers that come with water. My shriveled, drying body has nobody to thank but Waterman Sam. Who knows what I would be without him. He truly is the hero next door!
As much as this is disturbing, I love the Station officer floating through the water. Idk why it's so funny to me. Also the fact Sam looks both ways at the end like, "Hold up where are the houses"
0:40 Next the 🚪(watersam)
The fact that sam has a photo of a bunny with big human ears is kinda funny
the banner is very SUS
@@mrnoob4274 It kinda encapsulates Xploshi's whole theme honestly.
Very interesting concept, a person who uses flamethrowers to extinguish water. I never even thought of that lol.
he’s tryna evaporate the problem
Bizarro world cartoon here!
*pyro sounds intensify*
But real world logic somehow still applies and when he invariable fails he has to retry his day, effectively trapping the hero next door in a vicious loop of eternity forced to relive the definition of insanity.

Ohh, so _that’s_ the lore behind Wet-Dry World in Super Mario 64. I always did wonder how that town got down there, but it all makes sense now! Thank you for the wonderful information Xploshi 👌
Put this on a loop and it makes sense. Waterman Sam just never learns.
*JOLLY GOOD*
Jolly good

Doog ylloj
How can he learn?
He's stuck in an infinite hell
Must've been an electrical water. You usually have to use napalm for those. Common mistake.
lol.
Waterman Sam ran out of napalm.
I thought it was chemical fire but correct me if I am wrong
@@2002SuzukiLiana missed the joke entirely
@@pokipoki8028 I am talking about that he has to use chemical fire to put out eletrical water, so really........
This is literally how being powerless feels, but made into audio and visuals.
- „WOW, DID YOU KNOW SAM IS THE HERO NEXT DOOR?“
- *“yes, sam is the hero next door.“*
- *“SAM IS THE HERO NEXT DOOR!“*
The way her mouth moves is cursed af
I like how everyone is cheering for sam despite the water getting higher
These cursed takes on icons from all mediums are always my kind of content to watch.
Sam is the hero next door, everybody!
He kinda sounded like Gaz for a moment 0:42
The way he gently grips the alarm clock is everything
Fr
As I've said before, this guy knows how to make even the most obscure piece of your childhood terrifying in a completely original way
The person that made this is a girl btw
For some reason, I find this more irksome than any of the other of Xploshi's work.. like this really, truly, utterly should not exist but it does.
I'd hardly call it obscure.
She*
Fireman Sam isn't really that obscure tbh
Sam is the hero next door he is the hero we needed
Holy shit, TWO botted replies?

Fan lore:
" *_Waterman Sam: Hero Next Door_* is a Welsh children's animated program that aired from 2000 to 2006, developed by animation company Xploshi Entertainment. It tells the adventures of a waterfighter that pours out water with fire.
What is truly strange about the series is that it has around 313 episodes of the exact same animation, and one season. Viewers theorized that poor Waterman Sam was stuck in a loop.
The show was canceled for unknown reasons.
0:54 I bet Sam hasn’t played Pokémon yet
ya gotta fight water with fire because the heat of the fire will cause the water to evaporate
Wdym
@@Lou-yf1jo cuz his fire is not affecting the water and water types are resistant to fire type moves
0:57 Sonic Adventure be like:
What a hero next door! He saves people from wetting their house down!
0:15 I was not expecting that.
Sam has let Norman fall to a terrible fate more times than the girl from the intro cutscene could count to on her hands and feet.
Sam, regardless of these casualties is in fact the hero next door.
Shower thoughts hit me like 1:10
retry
*ERROR*
Waterman Sam is an absolute legend.
And the hero next door.
He is truly the hero next door.
Poor Sam. He tried his best, yet he is still stuck in an infinite loop.

@@joshtrollol_9943 Like the infinite horizon, it eludes my grasp.
It makes sense if you put it at 10 Hours
Waterman Sam is a British animated children's television series about a Waterman named Sam, his fellow waterfighters, and other residents in the fictional Welsh rural village of PottyPoopoo (a portmanteau of two real towns, Potty and Poo).
The classic xploshi styled videos have returned in their horrific glory
It always impresses me to see DoobusGoobus’ range when voice acting.
I’ve started watching more and more of these animations, they are so satisfying and comforting to watch for some reason. I love the creepy yet still hilarious factor of your animations, good job man👍
I love how unsettling, yet entertaining your vids are. Keep it up!
1/5 stars for Sam! My house was just POURING with water and he couldn't even put it out, horrible on his behalf and the Water Department.
Don't you mean the water department? What's the fire department?
But....he the hero next door
hes a lier
the queen has returned
With another horrifying masterpiece
Xploshi is one of the best queens.
Your animation keeps getting more and more impressive each video
It is impossible to overlook, Samuel is the neighbourhood champion
You, the current person I am speaking to are unable to not pay any attention, that the individual known as, Samuel, is the person who shows heroism and saves lives that happens to live in our general vicinity.
1:17 heaven have mercy
Custom Lyrics:
🎶When he hears that water-bell chime,🎶
🎶Waterman Sam has squashed the bell.🎶
🎶Went outside and close to the screen,🎶
🎶He always says, "I'm the hero next door".🎶
🎶He's always on the scene.🎶
🎶Waterman Sam!🎶
🎶And his engine's bright and blue.🎶
🎶Waterman Sam!🎶
🎶You really can't ignore,🎶
🎶Sam is the hero next door.🎶
This video honestly inspired me to rewatch Fireman Sam
You cannot ignore, Sam is the hero next door.

0:26 hmm nice waterman sam's watertruck lol
I played it in loop and I heard him say “NO IM NOT THE STUPID HERO NEXT DOOR” and he strangled the kids to death
this really brings a good vibe into it 😎
I’ve been doing this for about a year and the immersion is unparalleled. My family is concerned for me
0:47 I love how you animated Sam saying “I'm the hero next door”.
Some say that he’s still trying to this day.
Does he dig out rocks to rescue dogs? Is the mascot a patterned cat? Is the ocean made out of magma? One has to wonder...
But we do know he is the hero next door
Originally found you through Twitter, but never knew you had such an amazing channel. Keep up the great work!!! :)
Trying to beat water💧 with fire🔥?
*BRILLIANT!*
Sam + Water = Waterman Sam

Restart button
With all the flood waters in Australia, Sam would actually be a true hero
"You Cannot Ignore, Sam Is The Hero Next-door"
At some point, Sam had realised this was all pointless, Norman was never going to make it and the water would envelop all, no matter how much of a hero next door he was, he could truly not ignore what abyss waited for him
@ants review You like dumplings a lot don’t you now
Damn thats deep
This looks like something I could watch on Adult Swim at 3 AM and that's beautiful.
Fireman sam is nothing compared to waterman sam 💪💪💪 amazing story and plot, deep messages and relatable characters, and a twist ending to keep the viewers engaged
"Great floods of the North Sea!" - that should be Waterman Sam's catchphrase, parodying Fireman Sam's catchphrase "Great fires of London!"
I feel the necessity to thank Xploshi for bringing me back to my childhood in such a disturbing, yet, original and interesting way.
I just discovered this channel I don't know how I didn't know before, it's amazing!
A M T H E H E R O O F N E X T D O O R!0:20
There is this epic thing called "Subtitles".
What an inspiring individual.
I might become a waterman just like Sam!
1:04 is the most underrated part of the video in my opinion
so far, the is the best animation that distorts and ruins one of my favorite childhood characters, amazing job on this
I felt truly inspired when Sam said that he is the hero next door, life-changing.
I loved it, that was an nice spoof 👌
When Sam presses the retry button at the end of the video does this mean we’re getting a sequel then it will be called Waterman Sam 2🤷🏻
I think its an infinite loop
@@kneesurgeryenthusiast6915 when you say infinite loop you mean nonstop
@@davidgalindo8837 yes
@@kneesurgeryenthusiast6915 ok
“I don’t think Norman’s going to make it” I’m pretty most fans of the show would be happy about that
I love the way Xploshi makes funny films into horror films! They're awesome!!
We need a episode 2 :D
He sure would have the power to stop a flash flood
00:00:59 Station Officer Steele: Keep At It Boy, Give The Water A Walloping!
thank you for the fun wacky animation of waterman sam the animations were extremely silly and made me smile %)
“You cannot ignore… Sam is the hero next door”
The fact that I have the same name as the character and that I'm also welsh scares me
I cannot ignore that you can possibly be the hero next door.
Why do I feel like this has some deeper backstory about a man named Sam, forced to drown in a purgatory, fruitlessly trying to prevent it with a dying flame, only to reset it all again
You remind me of a more developed PilotRedSun, and I’m all for it
Love your work!
This is like you getting multiple choices on how to complete a mission and you purposely choose the wrong item to see what would happen. Now you sit in front of the restart button
Can I just say, I appreciate you going to the effort of actually dubbing this onto a cassette and not just using some crappy After Effects plugin.
Meanwhile in an alternate universe: Sam is the hero next door, water is fire, and fire is water
Xploshi, I just wanted to say that I love your videos, they are super cool, I love them
0:06
That human-eared rabbit with the plus shaped mouth/nose is the most cursed thing I have ever seen
I feel bad for Sam, he looked liked a nice guy and was trying to do his job.
He isn't a hero next door, he's THE hero next door.
Gosh I loved this show as a kid, funny seeing it in my TH-cam recommended again))
What fever dream did I accidentally stumble upon
Fireman Sam But the roles are reversed
Sam is the hero next door
Sam is so cool, he would never do anything bad. Right?
Fireman Sam was my favorite stop animation growing up. This fever dream of a (parody) amplifies my unwell state.
Every video on this channel is the small masterpiece
Did you know that Samuel is the hero next door? Not this door, next door mate!
He even inspired me to make a character name after him! ♥️
Fireman sam but its opisite day :
these animations feel so uncanny, i love it
Ngl but fireman sam (the classic series) is a masterpiece in itself. Let's all just take a moment to realise just how legit amazing the 80s theme was.
