So the man behind this not only created this gem and invented this subgenre of videos called animutation (which was an early form of shitposting). He also created the popular saga of Potter Puppet Pals, he made Brodyquest, he made Splendorman (later exploited by the creepypasta fandom), he made the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, he made Lemon Demon, he made not one but THREE mash-up albums which basically gave birth to the All Star meme, he made Ariel Needs Legs, and I'm probably forgetting lots of iconic things. He made such an impact on the internet culture, he is basically a legend and he doesn't even have a million subscribers. Neil Cicierega is truly a walking genius and the definition of underrated.
I got banned from the computer lab in high school for watching this when I was supposed to be doing research. Albino Black Sheep was subsequently blocked on my schools firewall 2004 was a different time.
I'm a Japanese and I saw this flash movie at 2001. I feel nostalgia to see this now. As you know, this is the first ED theme of pokemon anime in Japan. This movie also become pretty famous in Japan, and made everyone confusing (laugh). Hyakugojyuuichi means 151 in Japanese, and this movie lets English speakers known the fact.
This was my favourite thing when I was 11. Couldn't understand a word. Was this really popular in Japan? I'm 28 now and living in Japan, it's weird to finally be able to understand the lyrics to the video I found so funny.. Been a Cicierega fan ever since though.
yep exactly. before there was youtube poop or memes, there was animutation. before youtube, we had great sites like killfrog, stickdeath, starterupsteve and, of course, albinoblacksheep. it's a shame most of those sites don't exist anymore...
this is so crazy. im 16 right now, and im obsessed with mouth sounds/silence, bustin, the lenny kravitz lyric video, spirit phone, and so many other things hes made. i know that when i look back, im gonna remember neil cicierega as an important part of my high school experience. but to read these comments and see that he did the same thing when you guys were my age... its just crazy. this guys legacy is textbook worthy. neil, thank you for giving strange high schoolers, whether it be in 2016 or 2001, something to obsess over.
This makes me nostalgia so hard. It was 2001 and I was in high school. All day in computer graphics class we watched this and Neil's other masterpieces. Goddamn I love this.
Uh, yea I do. This video set the bar for animutations. You're the only person in the world who thinks otherwise and I feel sorry for you for having such shit taste.
What's there to explain? When this came out, animutations were new and this was one of the best, if not the best one. Especially compared to the other ones out around this time.

Before all the pewdiepies and montage parodies and all the random stuff that exists on youtube today... There was this random thing called hyakugojyuuichi that to this day, still sums up the internet pretty well.
knifepony Remember when normies just didn’t give a shit about memes, except maybe dancingbaby.gif? Those were good times back when I first found out about these videos. But now TH-cam is terminally normie-filled, and it’s getting pretty hard to tell the real memes apart from normie crap.
I was only 7 years old when I first watched this on Newgrounds back in 2003. Wanna hear something heartwarming? Back in my elementary school days whenever I came home from school crying because I had such a horrible day I would always come to watch this and it would always make me feel happy again. 😄
This video is oddly inspiring - a real insight into what creativity is. It’s not pretty, or organized, sterile or methodical. It’s throwing a bunch of what you already have laying around to make something. Maybe it’s not good, but what is “good” anyway? I was more entertained by this video than most any movie I’ve seen released in the past year. Love you, Neil.
I haven't seen this in years and somehow 'It's Princess Leia, the Yodel of Life Give me my sweater back or I'll play the guitar!' popped into my head like it had only been a few hourss.

K, so I'm 34 and I consider myself pretty hooked-up, but this is the first time I've ever seen this. My excuse is that I was working on a Master's degree and intermediate-level alcoholism when this came out.
I just got my Bachelors in alcoholism! I studied at Sangria tech for my first two years, then transferred to Whiskey University (GO WIFEBEATERS!) I was a young'un when I seen this. And I still watch it about twice a year.
Came here after listening to Neil's XOXO talk. Being a relatively young kid in the grand scheme of the internet (19,) it's fascinating to see how Neil really sort of started out as an internet content creator. You can see his abounding creativity, even then.
When this came out I was studying for my first bar exam. I used to watch this about 15 times a day when I should have been studying. It made about as much sense as the bar review materials and perfectly illustrated what was going on in my head at the time.
