Thats exactly what it looks like. Douglas Adams was a big Apple supporter. Deep Thought looks like a giant Apple Mac in the 2005 movie so i thought i’d continue the theme
After all the speculation by common folk, and abstract mathematicians Douglas Adams told why he chose 42. He got to the point of the ultimate answer. Looking over the top of the typewriter, the number 42 came to him. It was so nonsensical, enigmatic, and meaningless that it was perfect.
Nick Page: Any idea one when the next instalment is likely? As of the time of writing this E2 part 1 is up but there hasn’t been anything else for months. You do a top quality job and It would be awful if you had dropped it.
Great animation - took seven years for me to find your channel, but then again, I was accidentally at the Restaurant at the OTHER end of the Universe. Cheers, Nick Page!
Genius And the answer is, yes, yes, yes, ......is........ yes, tell us ........is ......42 Always cool and I've heard this roughly about 150 times I'd estimate and the denouement gets better every time
A sign that someone hasn't actually read the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is when they claim that it claimed that the meaning of life was 42. The whole joke of this scene is that the computer dosen't know what the question actually is, and the question they ask isnt even " what is the meaning of life." But "What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?" The whole joke is that the question is so vague it may as well be "what is 6x7?" Claiming that the book claimed that the meaning of life is 42 is not just a misunderstanding, but incorrect.
@@zarni000 Actually it is learned in the books. I think using scrabble pieces and arthur placing stuff subconsciously. The question was: "What is 6 time 7?". To wich the Answer is 42. But now you do not know *why* that is the quesiton for "life, the universe and everything."
@@zarni000 Who says the golgafrunchans were not always planned in? Deep Thought could predict he would design earth before even starting. Wich is why he called himself the *2nd* fastest computer.
oh no! I've run out of hitchhikers animations to watch! Will you be continuing these animations through including the tertiary to quintessential phases?
I don't know if you read these, Nick, but if you do, I want to ask you a question. Why don't you put full episodes of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on TH-cam anymore? Thanks!
I know the real reason the answer is 42, but my head cannon is that Deep Thought realized it would be destroid if it either gave the ultimat answer or gave its creators enough time to create a faster computer, so it bought itself several million years of free updates and resources to do no work and give a random answer. Self Preservation Baby!
First time hearing, I assume the radio edit, and gotta say the other versions of this scene where a little better. Nothing to do with the animation of course. :)

Nick Page but I liked the one in the 1981 TV series as it was more imposing and made the delivery of the answer so hilarious.
douglas was dead and really had no say what dep thought looked in the 2005 movie really.
You know you are going to get crucified by all the apple nuts for this....
@@barrybend7189 yea couldn't stand the movie. Ford Prefect is not black.

the sideways glace before deep thought says "though i don't think you'r going to like it"
is just perfect
I have no doubt you should do a whole 5-part story as a full-time animated series / movies. Plz, plz, plz do!!! Who's with me?
the first episode is under production right now
+Nick Page
Yeeeeessss I can't wait!!
Nick Page: Any idea one when the next instalment is likely? As of the time of writing this E2 part 1 is up but there hasn’t been anything else for months. You do a top quality job and It would be awful if you had dropped it.
Haha Deep Thought is an iPod, now that's clever
i thought it was gonna blast music as the greatest answer but nope
Anthem of the ussr my comrades
Can you... Explain
Rowan J Coleman funny seeing you here after I watched your hidden gems video
clever AND ironic
Great animation - took seven years for me to find your channel, but then again, I was accidentally at the Restaurant at the OTHER end of the Universe. Cheers, Nick Page!
I love how the audio book describes these beings having over 500 arms 😳
I think that was a different race. They were the ones who invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel
Genius
And the answer is, yes, yes, yes, ......is........ yes, tell us ........is ......42
Always cool and I've heard this roughly about 150 times I'd estimate and the denouement gets better every time
Where have you been all my life?! This is awesome.
I haven't heard any of the episodes after the old man in the shack (episode 12) but I love the early episodes.
You seriously need to listen to the rest .. Trust me!
I had never particularly realised that deep thought was a satire of John the Baptist.

....Plus Douglas pretty much threw that 2 digit number on there as a joke, with no thought beyond "give a stupid answer to a vague question".
These are so incredibly well done.
"It was a difficult assignment..."
Isn't the coughing at the start Deep Thought? Hence the remark about "Preparing to speak".
Ups and Downs, Swings and Roundabouts, 6's and 7's - that's life!
And when they learn the Question (what is 6 times 7), they then ahve to ask WHY it is the question. I do not think they will ever get that done.
hmm that is not the question. the question is never learnt.

@@christopherg2347 it's not. Arthur is descended of golgafrunchans who replaced the cavemen this screwing up the whole program
@@christopherg2347 also he got 6 times nine. Not 7

The sight gags you've added are awesome. :D
Love this. PLEASE DO MORE
More is on the way!
Amazing!!!!!! 42 is my favorite number!!!!!
..your REALLY not going to like it....
funfact there is a theory that the reason why 42 is the answer to the meaning of life is because it's the sum of the letters in "To Be"
I want this whole ....
Is there a way to view the whole series? I keep watching your videos, but would love to watch it all in one go.
42!!!
oh no! I've run out of hitchhikers animations to watch! Will you be continuing these animations through including the tertiary to quintessential phases?
Deep thought's original seti @ home idea.
My theory is that the question is "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?" and the real thing to look for the reason
Love the work that went into this. A bit odd on the choice of using an Ipod design for Deep Thought.
Oh I dunno; when I hear the phrase "needlessly messianic" it's Steve Jobs that spring to mind...
These are so good! Are you trying to pitch this to Sy Fy Or anyone? Please do.
Deep Thought reminds me of an I-Pod.
Hmm... Well, that explains the philosophy behind the band name Level 42.😊
Basically all of my teachers in a nutshell
Deep Thought looks like an I-pod
Why does Deep Thought look like an iPod?
I'm with Lunkwal; Deep Thought might have had the biggest brain in the multiverse but he stank at coming up with romantic names for computers!
I don't know if you read these, Nick, but if you do, I want to ask you a question. Why don't you put full episodes of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on TH-cam anymore? Thanks!
I'm still working on them. I have to fit working on them around a full time job so it takes about a year to finish a full 30 min episode on my own.
Oh, wow! Well, good luck.
Woop!
"Tricky"
Here's a question-Why does Deep Thought here look almost exactly like an ipod!?
Does anyone know what the question is yet? :P
All I see in the eyes are Tetris Blocks
I know the real reason the answer is 42, but my head cannon is that Deep Thought realized it would be destroid if it either gave the ultimat answer or gave its creators enough time to create a faster computer, so it bought itself several million years of free updates and resources to do no work and give a random answer. Self Preservation Baby!
Is it me or the Super Computer looks like an Ipod?
"42?!". Is that you have to show for 7 1/2 million years of work?!
42?
It IS a dull name, isn't it?
Yes, but its rather succinct... which is apt.
I suppose all races will call their planets what equates to "the ground"
That's not George Carlin, is it? It sounds vaguely like him, but I super doubt it is.
42!?!?
I laughed my ass off reading this part
BINGO! But no, not what I meant! :)
the earth ? what ?
i sure shit hope that is not a spoiler
is 42

This
anyone ever tell you your guys kinda look like they belong in South Park?
First time hearing, I assume the radio edit, and gotta say the other versions of this scene where a little better. Nothing to do with the animation of course. :)
the answer to all these things is 42.
*42 is the meaning of life!!!!!!!*
There is no question. There never was a question. It is the great philosopher's scam.
...........Well crap........
