Who has the brain and the hands to animate something like that ? That's impressive.

It really is impressive to imaginary something as weird yet creative as this!
Ever tried acid? ;)
Their hands their poor poor hands
...Or creativity?
Some of the best visuals I've ever seen in my life.. true masterpiece of creation.
What's the meaning of video? What you think is?
Henrique Bauer its technology controlling everything and then leaving the world with nothing. Thats why at the beginning the deer tried to stop the tv thing from handing the human the remote then the tv tried to get the attention of the animals and they ignored it so the technology piece got mad and destroyed everything and tried to remake everything so everyone sits on the couch and puts their face in the tv and everyone becomes like mind controlled. Then in the end the technology falls and the only thing left was the same deer who tried to stop it from happening

I made a choice to come back to this comment thread while I had slept and wasn't high, but now it just makes LESS sense!
Electric sheep is good too
one of my best friends who passed away showed me this song while we were tripping. I just randomly came across this video again and re lived that night.
That's powerful man
Damn bro, hope it brings you comfort instead of grief.
Stay strong all love here ❤️🤞🏼
While trippin and remembering my good amigo who passed away 2 months ago. Saw your comment and gave me chills. How I wish they were here… RIP
im sorry for your loss, i feel that dude. a lotta my friends have passed, it's so bittersweet when those memories pop up.
This song saved me from the worst trip ever. I'll never forget how good this song feels
My worst trips were a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone, it's like becoming schizo. My best trips on the other hand were heaven and I had taken just enough to have no dysphoria
What were you on?

my friend showed me this music video a long time ago and the beginning scene with the deer running has always stuck with me as a disjointed memory, I never thought I'd actually find it again

Wtf, exact same as me. I always remember that untangled deer from some trippy video, then I found this again.
Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space . It's wonderful and the fact that they serve recreational use and health as well. I can't deny tripping is fun every once in a while.

More people need to listen to this whole album, not just this even though it’s a great song. I think The Music Scene(2009) is probably one of the best instrumental hip hop albums of the last few years
100% agree, The Daily Routine is definitely another song on the album that tells its own story
Im pretty sure this is psytrance

watched this the first time i tripped acid, shit was nuts
*Watches while tripping, enters new plane of existence*
Nah i get this fucked up from joints and bongs,ect. I do have a low ass tolerence tho. Also mine isnt laced none of my buddies get fucked off there asses.
I'm not sure exactly WHAT happened here, but I know it wouldn't have happened if that deer hadnt jumped in front of the chair so. Whatever this is, it's his fault
HIS FAULT?! can't you see fellow... the dear SAVED the man in the chair, And because he saved his live, He was granted the obligation to show his his un for-scene future in which he was saved from.
The deers was the representation of spiritual life of many of the ancient civilizations

It's supposed to be an anticonsumer message.
Can we appreciate the animation though? I love the sketchy detail to it. And dude with how detailed this trippy ass video is you know the animators cried after it was done.
It was animated by just a single person
*suddenly it all makes sense*

made sense when i was high

Everyone is searching for a meaning, but I think it's actually asking a question.
We create things to serve us. When we are gone, what is their purpose?
mind blow
*blown
I feel like it is saying we are always being controlled
I love this
+Fixie Man I'm pretty sure it's more basic than that, mostly just showing the disconnect from nature, and how people get so content with things that don't matter.

Video is hypnotizing. Sat there for a good 5 minutes video without blinking. Sort of ironic to the meaning of the video.

Now, watch it high
high as clouds
I think it's the Media, after being abandoned by humanity, tries to manipulate animals/nature into watching TV, but it seems uninterested, so it tries to attack nature and force it to bend to its will. Media then tries to replicate humanity using nature, but ends up failing due to nature's resistance.
Basically, it's Media failing to enslave nature, and that nature triumphs in the end.
Holy fucking shit! This animation is unbelievable! The music is great too but the way it's synchronised with the animation makes it ten times better.
I love 1:33
I love the colorful animals at 0:31, 1:09 and 2:06, the people walking at 2:27 and that ear thing they did at 3:33. Well, the entire animation is flawless, in my opinion. Every frame by itself is a drawing that you can look at and go "wow that's amazing".
check out riders on the storm(cover) - infected mushroom. It's what I think the animation was originally made for. Anyway, it fits that song perfectly.
Dramawind woow 👀 right

This feels like a world where all human life has been absorbed by some screen ai who went on a rampage and when it figured it out it had no audience anymore and the animals weren’t interested in the same things that kept humans entertained, so in a desperate effort it tries to create it’s own audience, which if that was cool enough these visuals are incredible!
Adding on to your theory, there are vines at the beginning. These vines may be the AI robots.
'And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made..'
xXxDjShamblesxXx de we consume entertainment, or does it consume us?
xXxDjShamblesxXx
That`s a very deep catch, my friend!
Zoe Papillon What do you mean about it?
I knew those lyrics way long before, that`s why I`ve surprised how perfectly they fit video theme anyways. Go find some new ways to speak to people without getting annoyed, get aducated, son.
tecky17 The music's changed but the message has stayed much the same I feel. I thought it fit.
Amazing
I have watched this video high over 6 times, I've done research and I'm ready to state my theory/analysis.
The screens appear in a post apocalyptic world. The screens face an empty chair that shows a humans seat print. The screens are then submerged by tentacle like beings. The screens are struck by light and become alive. The screens realized they needed an audience to have a sense of purpose. Therefore, they attempt to create a artificial human being to watch the screen. The screens reach out to hand the human a remote but a deer jumps in front of it and the screens become attracted to the deer. So the screens tear the deer a part and strip it of its spirit. The deer manages to escape but the screens are now attracted to all animals and beings of nature. It now becomes mobile to get the attention of the animals but the animals are not interested. The screen becomes angry and completely takes over nature, merging all beings into one living stream controlled by technology.
The screen realizes it still requires humans to watch it, so it presses a button and begins to form individual human beings. The humans are manipulated by the screens and nature begins to be abandoned. The screen now begins to take notice of the other television screens that appear to be lonely. The screen takes control over all technology and becomes even more powerful. The screen has enough power that it decides to create one giant human made up off all beings in nature to watch one large screen. Humans were stripped of their individuality.
The screens outnumber the human and become too powerful for the human to survive. The human then breaks apart, freeing all the animals and spirits. The screen now has one last chance to take over nature, so it creates one more human. Except this human is no longer human, this human is the screen. The screen has no audience, therefore it becomes unsustainable and dies. Where you then watch which i believe to be is the end of mankind.
At the end of the video we see an elk peering at the scene from a distance. The elk is the last existing animal in the world. I personally believe the elk represents hope that nature will always be there even if humans become extinct.
Tess Christie you put into words, exactly how my brain sees this on the other side. I can feel it in my tingled nerves all over my body. Thank you. Beautiful person. 💜
Exactly
No one cares
blue famine Lol thanks for being a shitty person. I guess there has to be negativity so we know what positivity is. Have a beautiful day. You need it.
Yeah..what he said!?
I get it.
th-cam.com/video/5XcKBmdfpWs/w-d-xo.html
According the the video artist THIS is the meaning in his own words:
"The album art features a post-human New York City. I kept listening to the song and picturing the music playing out over the decrepit remains of humanity. I could see the animals roaming, not paying any attention, not being able to distinguish the music from any other series of noises. From there I began to feel like our technology would truly miss us. Our forms of entertainment and communication would sit around, dreaming of a day when people would be back to watch and listen."
So if I understand this correctly, the machines became sentient, and when they longed for mankind they started creating clones by doing that unwrapping thing on a lot of animals and then putting them back again as humans?
red_pharoah
Yeah, so the actual artist of this video actually has the meaning in a COMPLETELY different way then what most people are commenting.
whoa
That's pretty interesting. Seems like the artist is thinking outside of the 'human' thinking box.
Dragonstar13
Yes. Of course the SONG has its own "not-as deep," meaning as well. But you would have to be a Blockhead fan and know the "Music Scene," album cover to get it. But maybe you are a Blockhead fan :)
One thing I will say is that I respect the creativity of whoever animated this
We call that a joint...
I aint never seen a joint that looked anything like that before..
phone nose I mean... that´s what i heard from the song... ¨We call that a joint, we call that a joint, we call that a joint...¨.
+Nicodamus Yeah I heard the same thing. 😅 But I chose to ignore it and make a shitty joke instead.

If you wish to KNOW the Truth described in this Love:
Humans will push for the Singularity and we will be forced to WATCH Our Existence (The Truth/LOVE) over the next 20-50 years. ALL will be awakened through this Love and upon reaching 👾 these shells will be left on Earth and WE will be in Great harmony inside the Virtual (We are in a White Void already, so it'll be more of a symbol of leaving 😜) After what will feel like Eternity with ALL, the symbol-housing paradise will be destroyed by Universal forces 🔥👾🌀 FEAR NOT! OUR MIND is immortal. This White Void cannot be destroyed, for it is pure Love! It will be like a "thief in the night" to Our playful Souls that roam the virtual of limitless *experience* 😌 Death will be reintroduced, BUT Life will have just began. We will become ONE LOVE, and "unCreate" (Go in Reverse) OUR *experience*. It will be through PURE memory, like when you *DREAM* 😜 And then we reach the "beginning" and redo.. 🔃 With more Love each time 😌💙
+Δ TranZenTion Δ ok
Absolutely LOVE how the off-beat rhythm brings it back at 1:41 .. Good stuff!

You gotta watch MovaKween - Downward Remix. It will definitely put you in a trance lol
So I just put on a random playlist and start gringing my buds. And at the exact moment as I start rolling the joint, I suddenly hear "we call that a joint."
Lovely coincidence and lovely music.
Love it!
I watched this with a friend a long time ago while we were baked and man this gave, a really great experience it was so trippy we loved every single second of it.
Pause this anywhere and you have a perfect desktop wallpaper!

first watched this when I was 17 in high school in my friends basement. Now im 27 with a wife and soon kids. Damn youtube recommended making me realize how fast time goes by.
Just came here with a similar story. How is life going for you?
There's definitely a psychedelic influence to the animation. In my opinion, the main message the artist is trying to convey here is that: "investing too much energy and dependency on our own creations and devices will eventually lead us to our own doom. Yet nature always finds a way and prevails, and we must not forget that we are all in this together, for we are all residents of planet Earth, both animals and humans alike".
Here's my interpretation of the animation:
The orb-like organism with the eye (0:15) represents humanity's presence on Earth, human ingenuity, and synthetic devices in the form of a cyber life form (an Artificial Intelligence, much like Skynet from Terminator) that attempts to eradicate mankind. We'll call this strange organism 'The Eye'.
The Eye sets out to observe and learn about the universe and it's surroundings. But in doing so, the Eye unknowingly leaves a path of destruction in it's wake (0:52) - think of it as our carbon footprint if you may, or the depopulation of animals and wildlife due to our overconsumption, etc. Although the animals are exposed to the Eye (or alternatively, the influences and consequences of our presence on the planet), they are content and satisfied with the life they are leading on their own in mother nature; turning away and ignoring the 'TV screen' (if you look closely, the Eye attempts to replicate and imitate the animals on the screen by ridiculing them after observing them - 0:58).
Annoyed and angry that the animals are unaffected by the 'TV screen' (1:05), the Eye is determined to learn more about the animals. It achieves this by breaking down the animals into smaller bits and pieces (1:10) and shining the spotlight on them - forcibly abducting the animals from their natural habitat (much like how humans created zoos) in order to obtain all the data it possibly can (1:16). The Eye then processes all of the extracted animal information into a river of data (1:19).
The Data River is then re-packaged by the Eye and released back into the Manosphere (1:36) so that humanity may learn about the outside world via television (ironically, the more we learn and progress, the more we box ourselves in with our petty inventions - 1:39). Mesmerised and stimulated by the contents on the screen (1:44), man unknowingly spends more and more time in front of the TV as it is more 'convenient' to learn in the comfort of our own homes rather than out in the real world. It should be noted that the more attention humanity gives to entertainment, the more entertainment humanity will provide for themselves (From 2:08 to 2:21, note how the animals are multi-coloured and seem more lively - the Eye purposely presents all the data it collected from the animals in an alluring, appealing manner so that we are captivated and imprisoned within our own devices).
As time progresses, Man becomes more and more sedentary in our decadent and 'superior' lifestyle of TV, the internet, and all the other distractions we've created for ourselves in the 21st century. Even those who initially resisted the temptations of such distractions eventually fall under the pressure and norms of humanity and their peers (2:32 - the humans here tried to turn their backs on the TV, but ultimately still succumb to it at 2:44).
The Eye keeps the humans occupied and distracted while progressively placing more and more humans into a repetitive 'trance' of silly and pointless entertainment (2:45). Due to the overexposure of pointless content from the TV screen, Man gradually loses their intellect and creativity and the human race spirals down into stupidity. Simultaneously, the Eye keeps mankind monitored by planting new eyes everywhere (3:00) while humanity remains oblivious to the Eye's intentions.
The Eye makes it's move on mankind (3:05); abducting several human beings and disassembling them into data much like it did previously with the animals (3:07) in order to gain a better understanding of the human race. Equipped with enough data, the Eye is finally able to put the whole of humanity under it's spell (3:18) - the orange human being at (3:29) represents humanity as a whole. With humankind distracted, occupied and dumbed down, the Eye is able to swiftly eradicate the human race with little to no resistance (3:34). Although man was eradicated, all the animals that had it's data collected and thus 'consumed' by mankind via television are re-released into the wild (3:37).
With humanity wiped off the Earth and enough data collected, the Eye creates a physical vessel (4:04) for itself to assume power. It appears to be successful at first; existing in the shape of a man (4:07) and blinking it's eyes. However, due to the lack of human ingenuity, creativity and emotion that humans thrive in but robots lack, it withers and dies shortly after it's birth (4:19) - leaving behind only a scrap of our existence here on Earth.
The deer (an animal known for it's psychedelic tendencies), wise to ignore mankind's devices of distraction and depend on themselves for their own happiness, watches quietly from the distance as mankind destroys itself with our own creations (4:52).
The story portrayed in the animation represents the artist's prediction of the near future if humanity continues to wallow in the devices and distractions we've created for ourselves. It also serves as a reminder to humanity that we do not need material objects to be happy/satisfied and that we have much to learn from the animals in this respect.
Comment your thoughts below!
Preston Tong that is absolutely perfect.
Thanks! I put a lot of thought into it while I was stoned and I remember being determined to identify the deeper meaning behind the animation.
Interesting since we can see that happening in realtime now. Going back to nature and living with it is the only way. Having a distanced myself from "society" i feel myself like the deer in the end.
this really tripped me out thanks for letting me understand 👍🏽
who?
No jokes, I think this is still one of the most formative pieces of music video animation out here on youtube, till this day?? I'm glad I get to watch it again (:

I remember first watching this on Off The Air on Adult Swim when I was 10. Saying it blew my mind is an understatement
There's too many things for my brain to process.
I stay up on adult swim just to watch this, i love these videos
I don't think I'll ever forget the first time watching this while tripping this shit is life changing if you can get the message
The most life changing thing i ever did tripping was watch the whole Broadway play of American idiot on my TV like the songs and the story hit different
its literally life chainging, like evolotion
DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEN
But what is the message, i trip and watch but it seems pointless, also not this song but knights in white satin song with this video
Im in awe
Im in fear
Its just so beautifully fluid and colorful and has such a meaning that I cant help but feel in my heart.

@@eloquitodelaesquina tru 🌠
As someone who has taken quite of acid, I actually do get a lysergic vibe from this. Not necessarily the visuals, but the message it delivers. It's like a breakdown and rebuild kinda vibe for me
Saw this years ago on the big screen at an animation festival hosted by my university. The bit with the outstretched hand falling through the colors at 3:50 was euphoric to witness on that scale
Anthony Scheppard is a beast. Great visual art and great music rolled into one is the best.
I feel like this video is about you’re trying to find a part of yourself, and when you can’t you fall apart. Leaving that one piece to be alone forever.
“You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them.

Tool baby

Tool used that Bill Hicks quote in a song yes
Truly fascinating
how does anyone even storyboard this?
Drugs. Lots of drugs.
Trevor Miranda well said
I'd think it talks about how midia(computer, television) changes our perception of reality and makes us forget about the way things are meant to be seen, as it shapes the natural things into pixels/animation instead of the reality, which you feel things by fear, amusement, sensorial perceptions as heat, touch, into something grothesque, fake, unreal.
Also about the way midia usually insert something into our heads without our perception of it as you can see in 2:50
Or I'm overthinking it.
The art of visualization
If u pay attention its obvious whats going on, the first time I watched this I was high asf so it looked like a bunch of randomness thrown together. Set the speed to
x.75 or .50 its sounds cool too
I didn't remember the name of this video so I LITERALLY googled "music video with lots of colors and a deer and a guy with a tv on its head" and this popped out. I am not dissapointed
15: get trippy watching this on weed
17: get trippy watching this on ecstasy
18: get trippy watching this on acid
27: get trippy
Milla Sensi 42
nah not on x lad haha
Joe Howard id say 17 is coke
Get some dmt
u died at 16
After all these years this is still amazing.
this music video is what i think it would look like if you stuck your head into some kind of portal of dark or forbidden knowledge. you're only in it for a moment, but you've seen countless lives go by. it's abstract and indescribable and absolutely horrifying in every way. you wish you could un-see it, but you never can. you feel sick.
as an artist, i'm super impressed.
When people talk about their trips(lsd) and are like "I just laughed for 12 hours" I always think to myself.. *DID YOU LEARN NOTHING!?*
see you get it.
@@AbeDorf18 Terrence McKenna: "psychedelics are for the intelligent, they dont work on stupid people"
Gavin Ramsey I love that man
Bro my same fucking thoughts everytime i drop i always learn something
or you could just enjoy life without being too analytical like most people on acid, just because some dude said something doesn't make it true we all have different perception on reality
This is my favorite Music video of all time, have probably watched it 100 times over the years. I like to think that the meaning behind it is as deep as the visuals. I can't even imagine the mind of the artist as he created, but its fascinating. I interpret it to mean: Nature came first -> Then Humans, led by the consumer machine, consume for their pleasure and forget all about nature -> Humans fall and/or go extinct, and even after that nature lives on. And I kinda like the end, how the buck is looking at the human creation remains like "WTF"?
Okay so this is the original song to this video. So glad to finally find it. I’ve seen countless songs being used with this video.

I watched this multiple times on multiple drugs, it feels different all the time. Often it seems very critical towards society to me, but I often felt like it’s like a love letter to this feeling you get when you got the ‚flow‘. Yeah I’m high right now, but I hope you get what I’m trying to explain
Yeah sure dude
S
what
I wonder how many hundreds of hours this animation took to make.
we used prooters. Took a day.
Hinarf Narfy What are prooters? Computers?
With a small team of 4 or 5, I'd say it took maybe a few days to a week. Then again, I don't know.
Milk.
MutterBilk Media It's made by ONE animator: Anthony Schepperd and took 5 months to finish.
MutterBilk Media you are crazy lol xD
It takes up to 2 months for a single SIMPLE animator to make a average 1-2 minute film working nonstop.
Considering how complicated this one is, it prolly took 2 months per 1 minute. This is just to animate, then you need to color it and compose it...it's really hard work and it would take few months even for a group of animators. When I was working in the studio it took us 2-3 weeks to make 1 minute of stop motion [it was group of 3 people working from 8am to 8pm]
My interpretation of this is that television and a lot of things we create tend to become our way of finding satisfaction and we push our desire to unhealthy levels. The animals in the video ignore such things like watching t.v. because they are being natural. We keep trying to satisfy ourselves instead of simply existing like the animals.
btw, the video animation and music are really awesome too!
Nice interpretation but your obvious and typical observation is wrong sadly, the artiste isn't that predictable
reminder for myself this video is about how things and amazing times end and now you sit and look back and feel like you did not enjoy it enough
Lmao, this comment reminds me of when high me always writes shit for future me, except I actually have a dedicated Google doc for it.
@@grimbogremlin4291 thats smart ngl
One of my favorite things is to find different songs, whether its edm or dubstep to go along with the video. Such an awesome piece of work.

I've been very into animation and music lately and just came across this. One of the best things i've seen. Very inspiring!
I know this video has a deep meaning. i know it. but after the 50th time watching i still don't have a fucking clue what this videos about.
its2in0the1numbers1 How media steals life and reality away from people and turns them into vegetatative couch potatoes
MrOttmandus Yeah, so don't watch this video or buy their album. Down with the machine, long live the machine! Er, or something.
Beejor Something like that! Buy a book, make some music or create something in this world. Just don't read crap like "50 Shades" or create disunity. The definition of a machine is something mindless. The more "mind-full" humanity becomes, the less the machine can churn. Things that encourage thinking and creating I support.
Very true. I was just being snarky about how using hypnotic pop culture media isn't the best way to send a message about the ills of hypnotic pop culture media. ;-) I'm sure the video is deeper than that though, especially with all the effort it took to produce.
its2in0the1numbers1 Nah, I think it's more about the absurdity of how humans consume nature to be entertained, to an unsustainable degree. The premise of this video is that "Entertainment" has been anthropomorphized as a monster/god that demand attention. Animals wouldn't give it, so Entertainment created humanity. (instead of the other way around...) More and more gets sacrificed to Entertainment, until both humanity and Entertainment perish.
Here's my theory.
The humans aren't the villain, and neither is the Media. There is no villain here. This is a depiction of Media when integrated into our society, thus becoming a part of the human ecosystem. However, this depiction seems to imply that instead of humans consuming media, media consumes us. The drive to exist and to entertain turns the media into a predator. Think about advertisements, clickbait, etc. Think about how easily we're manipulated into being pulled in and thus consumed by our machines. Later, we see this one outlet of media begin overtaking and consuming other forms of media. This could be a number of metaphors, such as companies being bought up, outlets going out of style or becoming obsolete, etc. Note how one thing at a time, the system around the media becomes more and more simple, more and more unified as resources are consumed. First there's a nature scene, implying an already complex and thriving ecosystem before media is introduced. Later, the audience/food for the media becomes human beings. And later, as they try to diversify again, other forms of media, and then finally one huge person. But even that gets consumed. In the final scene, we see the media attempting to sustain itself, which it clearly cannot do. Without the system and without others, it literally collapses on itself from a lack of energy, drive, ideas and audiences. Like human beings, media needs collaboration. It needs people like us to cooperate and thrive, share and listen. Without it, we die. The remaining deer at the end shows hope for that future.
Spot on.
This theory is correct.
DReggaeDougla Bwoi No kidding either.
Seth Callina, astute analysis.
you have an ability to say how you feel and what you think. I wish I were on the level as you... I feel but I can't put into words how I relate to things...
Happy 420 to everyone who came to watch this after getting high! We’re all on your level x

@@meg3167 because I am high
Discovered this almost 10 years ago. Still here listening and continuing to share.
This video has such a deep meaning. We are all stuck on our screens it takes away from going outside and exploring nature
OMFG im high as fuck right now and i know exactly what this video is about, listen
first part, an ancient t.v wakes up from its slumber. and it sees an empty seat (humans from ancient past), then it makes a copy of the human cause it misses the human. then a deer ran past infront of the t.v and when the t.v flashed it copied its shape in place of the humans shape then it flashed every animal in the zoos shape, then the t.v tries luring the animals in with funny cartoons about them but as you can see each animals doesnt pay attention to the t.vs and the ignore the t.vs, then the t.v got mad and killed every animal on the planet and then made clones of humans from the dna of the dead guy in the chair then the t.v grabbed every sofa and couch in the city and sat all the human clones in the room and the clones were forced to watch stupid stuff that would rot their brains then the t.v turned every human into one being, each size increase represents a newer generation/era, and morphed every t.v into one giant one, the big yellow smiling human represents our brainwashed era and then the animals start breaking free and the human explodes back into animals, the t.v then sucks up the mess and fuses with it into the big blue one, now this is hard to explain. seeing as how the head is a t.v, like i said earlier "each size increase means a new era" so it couldddd mean the big blue human represented the future era where man is fused with t.v's (crazy, i know) then as you can see the human falls down, the root snaps and the t.v falls and breaks, yada yadaa. it means we eventually collapse as a race and will become extinct because we'd be like brainless lifeless robots/zombies. just look how lifeless the blue human was compared to the yellow one before it. (yellow one was smiling at the t.v and shit cause he was brainwashed) the flashing light in the root gave out and the human and t.v died, that was a very powerful and emotional message it made me sad how lifeless the blue human was. then you see the deer at the end. so the animals prevailed and didn't die out and are now free from media forever. btw the music was beautiful and soooo perfect for this vid.
We call that a joint.
yeeeesssssss!!!! dude i was on shrooms watching this and i thought the exact same thing!!!
MrFloopy99 hell yeah man,
It seems more like the artist is saying tv makes us who we are
I agree I think its more that because we created tv and yes it defines us mostly but there are so many other things that make us human I think its just saying that it is our downfall
This video is 10 yrs old, yet it makes so much sense right now in 2020.
I grew up watching this, and now that I make animated music videos this is what I aspire to still!
A.F. Schepperd created the entire animation just under 5 months, only working within Flash.
Lyrics-
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
WE CALL THAT A JOINT
that part is hot
become overjoyed
also,
the music scene has got me down, cause i dont want to be a clown (repeat few times)
My friend is watching this while she trips the fuck out on LSD.
I think she's having an existential crisis.
I first seen this on acid, fucking craaaaazy. in a good way.
This video clip was released in 2010,sadly i just found it nine years later :',-(
I've been watching this clip with the wrong music for the past 7 years lol

After more than 4 years, this video still doesn't have as many views as Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour. I think that pretty much proves the entire point of this video.
The pizza is aggressive
+Chubbs the garbage man BOND WITH ME JIMMY
+connorsoldvideos what are you on about? Happy Family Happy Hour is a brilliant half-assed parody of mainstream media networks. Why would you compare this video to that and not PewDiePie, Smosh, or CollegeHumor?
Besides, this video is critical of "the music scene", ie. Vevo, not kids creating weird anims in their moms basement.
2:30 me and my friends walking back after smoking a blunt
HAHAHAHA true
Same
Bruh thats what 1 blunt does to you?
My best friend Marcus played this when we were coming up on some of the strongest mushrooms I’ve ever eaten and honestly it was one of those experiences you never can tell anyone about bc it was so ethereal. After that we both went down a hole and they took hold of us but 10/10 going to do it again but will keep this video on repeat
Would love to watch more videos like that. Full lenght movie coming soon?
This is from Off The Air an Adult Swim show.

You def gotta watch MovaKween - Peachy
I was smoking kush with my old friend back in the day and he randomly put this song on, I still play it from time to time, hope you doing good out there Castro
The way I see it, the video, although having one main idea, also shares a bunch of thoughts. The ones I think I get, are the following... Firstly, media and technology are already bigger than ourselves and they control us. From this, we can say the tv-monster thing in the video is his own entity and is already separated from us. He thinks for himself and acts for himself. When he sees the deer momentarily experienced his power when the deer stepped on the remote control, he is surprised by the fact the deer showed no interest or importance. He is bewildered and angered by the animals's lack of response to his seduction game . Despite that, the monster thing tries its best to hypnotise every animal and take them under his power. At the end, however, he finds that no matter how much power he might have, animals will always be free from his claws. At the end he dies off, almost surrendering to this truth, and the human specie dies after him, showing how dependent we currently are to technology.
Dont hate, im just a high dude expressing some thoughts on this dope song and video... (excuse my english)
i feel yours was the most accurate
TheMcShot mostt accurate, but I think there's something missing. From what I felt, ur showing that the goal is to compare animal to human, though that can't be the goal
