The thing destroying me about this is that right by George's grave is another that reads "Ponderous Cody". The reason George doesn't have "Curious" written down on his tombstone is because he already found his answers.
@Guknowit she was upset because she just had a long stay in the hospital because of me(I broke her skull), and i was just trying to calm her down Anyway, women stuff, Am I right?
If p3do island and lol1ta express is real, im pretty sure pizza gate is probly real too with time passes. Hell conspiracy theories are a funny thing cuz it slowly becomes true with time that brings the truth to light. For decades crazy Alex Jones was shoutong in a megaphonr in publoc streets since 80s and 90s that the govt was phone tapping us and storing all of it. It was until decades later that Edward Snowden expose the NSA for that exact thing Jones was talking about decades earlier, vindicating Aled Jones.
I loved the fact that George loved and respected Theodore enough to speak to him but everyone else he just made monkey noises. Theodore was the one who gave George the most love and happiness than anyone else did.
Isn't it crazy how the CDC was saying monkeypox was an STD but when children and animals started getting it everyone instantly stopped talking about it?
but he could speak the whole time, and he didnt figure out the love thing until later according to him, he said he later wished he had realized it was all about love, which means he didnt know that the whole time lol...
I haven’t felt like this in quite a while, the message when Theodore left the room i instantly got, but then the remix of “upside down” took me by surprise and my life flashed before my eyes like the critic from ratatouille
"I'm dying Theodore" being uttered from a melancholic Curious George with the voice of a 50 year old chainsmoker is one of the most hilarious things I've seen.
Even before that, George, the cartoon monkey, staring out the window with a somber look, accepting the reality of his mortality. Had me laughing before he said anything. He's so tiny on this big bed.
It's not a banger, it's all bullshit. That's what he was getting at; there will never be an end to the conspiracies because some new stupidity will always be invented to satiate the types of people who need to overthink shit, and the whole point is that George should have never cared about the conspiracy shit and just lived his life.
I like that there was no punchline. It stayed committed to its goal and didn’t harass the viewer at the end but stayed true to itself. Thank you for that.

So I know this is a skit but this advice was nearly identical to that which my father gave to me on his deathbed 3 years ago. In essence, he said love shouldn't be complicated. This video brought out raw emotions that I'd suppressed for literally 3 years, and it means so much to me. Thank you, Joel.
Dude, my own father isn't in the best shape, he's probably not far off and I came to the comments cause I started to get teary. I don't know why but I thought of him too, the one person who that has only ever exceeded my expectations, then I see your comment and dammit if I'm not crying
That's what he knows. All the way back to when he was thrown in jail for calling 911. What did he have then? Just a hard wooden bench to sleep on, no covers, no pad, just a wooden wedge for a pillow. He knows he's finally, at long last, going home so he is returning to those days when he was a simple monkey in a jailcell without a head full of so much horrors he can never un-see, and so much of society's evil that he can never un-know.
As comical as this may be… it has a powerful message that many might overlook. Dont go fucking around and doing random shit that could get you in trouble or lead you in circles, find love or purpose, itll make life so much more enjoyable.
The point was that he spent some time learning stupid bs that amounted to nothing but gaining hate for others. He learned now that instead of doing all that (getting into QAnon, anti-vaxx bs, or fighting people on the internet) he should've spent more time loving. He didn't reveal anything about a conspiracy, he even admits it.
I think one of the things that sticks out to me is that the quote on George's epitaph is still monkey noises. Nothing from his final words to Ted. Because George had nothing to say to the rest of the world, just to his best friend, The Man in the Yellow Hat. Someone he loved.
and remember, he didn't talk because he had nothing worth saying. Why nothing for his tombstone? Because he felt nothing for himself, only the ones he loved.

I've come back to this video several times when I'm down, I don't seek it out, it just finds me... And it always has a way of turning my melancholy into something better. I love you Joel, we're lucky to have you.
The way you weave comedy, deep emotions, and the news cycle here is truly artful. Mad respect. Also, my cat was killed by third stage curiosity, so this hits.
it hits even harder if somebody's cat was killed by that same somebody's curiosity. he will never be forgotten. so sad, and so cruelly unfair, that something's gotta die for something else to grow up and stop being an asshole.
I love how George's gravestone does not say Curious George. Before death he stopped being curious and learned the importance of embracing the people who love him, so now he is simply just George.
Wow brilliant explanation for someone who is not on board! Eye eye captain! Thanks, p.s. I still not knowning who is the curious George, but it's not the point
@@АнтонСтрельников-з4ц Curious George was a series of children's books in the U.S that was adapted into a movie in the 2000's. It was later made into a show on U.S Public Broadcasting Station (PBS). The song playing at the end of the video was the first song that played in the Curious George movie called "Upside-down" by Jack Johnson. The movie is very nostalgic to me and as movies made for little kids go Curious George is really good; George is just ridiculously cute.
@@toldyouso5588 Sssh. We have chuckleheads in this country who will take you seriously. And thus another conspiracy theory rockets across the internet.
This was the most beautiful video I’ve ever encountered in my 17 years of living, thank you so much for this eye opening opportunity to turn my life around on such a hard and heavy point in my life…thank you..
I read this comment aright before the flowers moved expecting something profound…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………I was not disappointed.
I remember watching the Curious George movie as a kid, along with the cartoon series on PBS Kids. When the melancholy cover of "Upside Down" started playing, I almost cried. Usually, surreal adult-swim style content relies on shock humor. While this video includes that, it has so much more than that. Portraying our beloved Curious George as a dying old man who finally has all the answers he ever wanted, and sharing his wisdom with the one person he loves. This really pulled on my heartstrings. Thank you for making this.
The juxtaposition between the deep voice of wisdom with that tiny segment interspersed in the middle of george making cute innocent monkey noises at the doctor is sending me
@@DigitalDeinosuchus as someone who grew up on the curious George show and that extremely underrated movie with jack Johnson’s amazing soundtrack, this really hit me different
This is seriously one of the greatest things to ever exist. Not even kidding. It's the perfect translation of the comedy and tragedy of life, told through a familiar and connecting medium and characters. It's damn near a perfect thing, dare I say... Perfect.
What. A. Rollercoaster. I went from giggling like a child, to serious adult introspection, then the depths of despair and lastly almost shed a tear at the cover of a freaking Jack Johnson song. Never stop doing what you do Joel.
I'm a real dude and I have real emotions too. At the beginning of the vid I felt a bit of melancholy for a beloved childhood character. Then, I felt joy as I was moved by George's monolog..We have to learn how to love again and to feel loved in return.
Joel is unironically a really good writer. I really hope he gets a big job one day, id love to watch a movie or comedy show, or really anything where he was one of the writers
The long silent shot at the monkey, which is actually a partially animated human, laying over a poorly drawn oversized bed is simply a cinematic masterpiece
I clicked into this expecting some quick laughs, but this is legitimately a dramatic masterpiece. How you managed to cram such a range of emotions into a 5 minute video is well beyond me. You sir are extremely talented, thank you for these videos!
It was covered by Kevin Sloan, very well done! I use to love Jack Johnson before he was extremely famous, although still somewhat known. I have 2 of his earlier albums on vinyl. They're GREAT to spin on a rainy morning with a joint, and or cigarette, with coffee and/or alcohol. Jack is one of the reasons I got into playing guitar. From people who know Jack Johnson they say he's an amazing soul. You never hear bad things about him. I believe he still walks barefooted are the big island even tho hee a multimillionaire.
I was completely surprised when George didn't go down the Illuminati rabbit hole when talking about the dark web. That answer was way more real than I was expecting. This was a very thought provoking video. Great job.
@@balouthebear2942 Q is a person or group of people pretending to be Trump-supporting government insiders that repeatedly claimed that "we" are 2-3 months away from "major happenings," some newsworthy and beneficial to the Trump voter base, often through cryptic messaging that make his followers feel smart and involved by deciphering them. The height of Q popularity was during the Trump administration, and the effect of the messaging was the building of a large following of conspiracy theory enthusiasts, and also a quelling of Trump supporter concerns over him not fulfilling any major campaign promises (other than tax cuts), as these people never got anything done. Their "trust the plan" slogan diverted Trump supporter criticism and relieved pressure on Trump to follow through on his controversial 2016 campaign promises. This has led to some to believe in another conspiracy theory, that some conspiracy theories are spread in order to prevent any action on anything real being taken. Debates about the physics of steel beams, bullet trajectories, and demonic forces displace and discredit-by-association debate about who is responsible, who benefitted, and who are complicit.
George is spitting facts. Love is the most important thing in this world. Not necessarily romance, just valuing those around you, or even showing kindness to anyone.
the elite are still trafficking African children though, I get that people can get too caught up in all the "conspiracy theories" but there needs to be some level of justice in the world.
You went so hard in the paint on this one Joel, wtf. What are you, some kind of artist or something? Making profound, thought provoking, emotionally moving sketches that pull at your heart strings like this? I'm not crying, you're crying.
One might chose to cry while watching this. We will miss you down the rabbit hole George but I’m glad you finally dug deep enough to find love little buddy…
@@HarshDude126 Nah, its clear what its trying to say, but it is baseless and meaningless. You are simply too easily dazzled. Don't feel bad. The did studies and people of lower intelligence will apply "deep" meanings to complete gibberish.

Why am i more emotionally impacted by a 5 min cartoon of a talking monkey than any tv or film ive seen in a decade? This is really art joel thanks for all your hard work
if you want something emotionally compelling you gotta get on andor. i know theres a layer of SERIOUS corporate cynicism around these shows but for real, its good and will make you feel something.
man joel i wish i could talk to you personally about this one. by far my fav skit. you somehow made me laugh and made me think and made me truly feel something. w curious george and this unique weird ass animation style. truly a favorite vid of mine. of all youtube. hope this gets to ya somehow someday
Starts out making a comedy about a dying George reflecting on his endless curiosity and what it all meant, and ends up making one of the most emotionally profound animated shorts I’ve ever seen. Gracious. I never imagined the day I would shed a tear for curious George and The man in the yellow hat.
The original song “Upside Down” by Jack Johnson was featured in the Curious George Movie, incase anyone missed that subtle layering in this masterpiece.
@@eligah1843underrated movie. Was forced to watch it to keep my younger siblings distracted but I realised it was actually a fairly well made movie. Haven’t seen it since though. Man how many years ago was that
What the hell?? Comedy, absurdity, sincerity, drama, emotional truths, introspection; so very, VERY much packed into 5 minutes! Dude, Joel, youre a legend. This, right here, is a masterful work of comedic art. Congratulations, pat yourself on the back, spend some extra money to treat yourself to something nice! You deserve it. And all the actors who took part in this, even the doctor, all did a 10/10 job performing this. I'm honestly humbled as a creative person. Humbled.
@@thatonemick2736 woosh? he wasn't telling a joke that I didn't get so I don't understand the woosh. some people don't know why that song is being played.
That slowed version of Upside down brought me to tears. I can't tell you how many times I watched The Curious George movie, and that beginning scene, even as a child made me sad because of how lonely George was, not having anyone to really relate to. But this parody, I can't quite describe how touching this is. It's fitting somehow, and so profound.
“Love. Love Theodore. Love while you still can.” My son the memer sent this to me. I expected to get “Rick Rolled” by this one. But… It made me cry. I’m thankful that my son sent me something that says he loves me. Thank you.
I know the quote is so damn powerful but the fact that it's being said deadpan by Curious George on his deathbed is just too absurd and I can't stop laughing 😂
@@Palafico3 I put myself in George’s position and it hit home. Just love. Everything else is a distraction from what we are meant to do with the time we have. Love the people in our lives. Thank you George.
This is scarily the best advice you can probably hear on the internet; don’t ask questions, don’t get caught up in life, just love. Change people’s lives and leave an impression on those you interact with through kindness and compassion. It’s the only thing that’ll really matter.
I knew this learning human behavior. Even learned how to filter myself so I can just let the worst and unnecessary things leave my mind. I dedicate my channel and a lot of my thinking to those incapable of love. The only reason I stick to it is because I know too much to stop now. There are answers and they would get out if this wicked site would let us post the comments.
living a life for love is both selfish and harmful. Good has a positive and negative, if you only offer half, you are minimizing how much good is in the world.
George was my homie through my whole childhood. I had a George from the day I was born and he lost some stuffing and an ear but he was always there for me when I needed him most. ❤
“Try to minimize all the bullshit they tell you to do, and just love.” Honestly, this hilarious parody of a children’s cartoon contains one of the most profound and moving quotes I’ve ever heard in my life.
@@Hellwaterva more like pointing to sick shit that happens in this world like child trafficking it happens and yet nobody really talks about it and would rather talk about easy shit
@@MrSponge56It’s fascinating that you watched this skit and when he brought up pizzagate, instead of thinking “that sounds absolutely insane when you explain the conspiracy that way”, you thought “finally, someone else is acknowledging pizzagate for the real problem it is.”
@@tefweebz um it sounds absolutely sane? where have you been? missed the whole epstien situation? try actually looking into pizza gate, its real. i mean cmon an out of work actor storms the place and fires 1 shot from his gun that goes through a door and directly into the hard drive a a PC. leaked emails between people talking about pizza related things that sound exactly like the stupid codes drug deals use on the phone? Its just another epstein situation except this one was for even younger kids.. the rich and powerful can have anything they want so the only things left for them to want is things they cant (or shouldn't) have. i dunno you gotta be a special kinda blind or willfully ignorant to not see what has become blatantly obvious in the last decade.
You can't just drop a cinematic masterpiece on us about rotoscoped curious george dude, now how am I going to explain to my family why I'm crying inconsolably?
literally just watched this after finding out my grandpa died and this made me cry a lot of both happy and sad tears. you make the best animations of modern day. bravo.
glad its helping you too, havent lost any one recently but, ive had a lot of issues with death and meaning and this honestly might have given me so much clarity. this truly is a masterpiece.
"love what you still can" and if you can't anymore. Never forget what you loved while you could. Loss is hard, and I'm truly pained for you. stay strong and trust me, It will get easier 🖤🖤🖤
Hey, shoutout to Kevin Sloan for this mood-perfect cover. His work is often the secret sauce that brings Joel's emotional moments into focus. You're the GOAT Kev!
Some of us men and women are nothing but afraid of it. The commitment, the fear of being led astray. If one has faith in love lasting forever, you who believes in it must clutch it like a cornerstone, if it means anything at all.
@@josephshmoesinsky8610 i don't even think he's just talking about romantic love. but any kind of love. loving the people around you in like, friends, family, pets, strangers. just to show love and kindness to those who are scared cause fear is all they know. kindness, compassion, generosity, love. such important things we forget all the time, but we never should.
The subtle smirk that creeps up on Theodore’s face when he’s pondering on George’s lasts words while he drives home is so heartwarming. There’s grief but there’s also hope.
I was getting choked up listening to George’s last words. Then I read his tombstone and was laughing. What a roller coaster of emotions you put me through.
Damn, "Love while you still can" hit me harder than I could've expected. It's been a year since my dad passed and he used to watch Curious George with us. He just seemed to love that show for some reason, and I guess there is still more love for us to spread. While we still can.
I've lost a lot of family members within the last 6 years, moreso 2 but it started a bit ago Anyways, I've been trying to stay in the moment, Enjoy the time I have with people, because we never know how much time we have left with them Death never gets easier.. and we never truly forget those we lose. But time does heal most wounds I wish you the best And remember to be present

This 5 minute animation carries more emotional weight than a lot movies can in 90 minutes. Joel's delivery is truly something special
Only because there wasn't a quip in sight, a serious scene but with a small bit of humor
@@thehatter9400 it’s curious fucking George wdym, a doctor walked in and he switched to oo oo aa aa dafuq bro 😂😂😂
@@thehatter9400 Now I’m not gonna ignore that there was any message but “not a quip in sight” and even downplaying it to a “small bit” is hilarious, you channeling your inner English teacher?
I've come back to this video several times when I'm down, I don't seek it out, it just finds me... And it always has a way of turning my melancholy into something better. I love you Joel, we're lucky to have you.
The way you weave comedy, deep emotions, and the news cycle here is truly artful. Mad respect. Also, my cat was killed by third stage curiosity, so this hits.
it hits even harder if somebody's cat was killed by that same somebody's curiosity. he will never be forgotten. so sad, and so cruelly unfair, that something's gotta die for something else to grow up and stop being an asshole.
4th and final stage curiosity is terminal. there's still a chance of survival although a small one in 3rd stage.
All these years, tonnes of videos and Joel Haver skits just keep getting better
Happy that you feel that way ❤️
I love how George's gravestone does not say Curious George. Before death he stopped being curious and learned the importance of embracing the people who love him, so now he is simply just George.
Wow brilliant explanation for someone who is not on board! Eye eye captain! Thanks, p.s. I still not knowning who is the curious George, but it's not the point
@@АнтонСтрельников-з4ц Curious George was a series of children's books in the U.S that was adapted into a movie in the 2000's. It was later made into a show on U.S Public Broadcasting Station (PBS). The song playing at the end of the video was the first song that played in the Curious George movie called "Upside-down" by Jack Johnson. The movie is very nostalgic to me and as movies made for little kids go Curious George is really good; George is just ridiculously cute.
Tombstone should have said "Epstien and George did not kill themselves."
@@toldyouso5588 Sssh. We have chuckleheads in this country who will take you seriously. And thus another conspiracy theory rockets across the internet.

This was the most beautiful video I’ve ever encountered in my 17 years of living, thank you so much for this eye opening opportunity to turn my life around on such a hard and heavy point in my life…thank you..
What a powerful quote to put on George's headstone. Truly encapsulates the dichotomy of man and monke
"Monké"
monke.

@@dante666jt Not really since Cody is a human name similar to George.
I remember watching the Curious George movie as a kid, along with the cartoon series on PBS Kids. When the melancholy cover of "Upside Down" started playing, I almost cried. Usually, surreal adult-swim style content relies on shock humor. While this video includes that, it has so much more than that. Portraying our beloved Curious George as a dying old man who finally has all the answers he ever wanted, and sharing his wisdom with the one person he loves. This really pulled on my heartstrings. Thank you for making this.
The juxtaposition between the deep voice of wisdom with that tiny segment interspersed in the middle of george making cute innocent monkey noises at the doctor is sending me
You have something to say? What is it George? What do you have to say???
"Do you know what pizzagate is?"
It's sending me too, friend. Me too.
It's always bananas
voice of... wisdom?
@@DigitalDeinosuchus as someone who grew up on the curious George show and that extremely underrated movie with jack Johnson’s amazing soundtrack, this really hit me different
A real masterpiece. Only Joel could make a silly animated cartoon monkey cut deep in the heart with such wisdom.
This is seriously one of the greatest things to ever exist. Not even kidding. It's the perfect translation of the comedy and tragedy of life, told through a familiar and connecting medium and characters. It's damn near a perfect thing, dare I say... Perfect.
But seriously, the entire skit was absurd.
@@Durwood71 Your TH-cam account is absurd.
I came down to the comments to say pretty much the same thing, but I saw you already had, so I'll just leave my Like and be on my way...
@@BAGGStheAugmented I appreciate the compliment. I hope you enjoyed my videos.
What. A. Rollercoaster.
I went from giggling like a child, to serious adult introspection, then the depths of despair and lastly almost shed a tear at the cover of a freaking Jack Johnson song.
Never stop doing what you do Joel.
Yeah it's wild from start to finish, stupid easy to forget that that's suposed to be a shitpost about a curious monkey
In all fairness Curious George's ost goes kind of hard. Jack Johnson did a good job on it.
Personally I was just laughing the whole time. Getting deep and philosophical with a cartoon monkey talking can only be so deep lmao
Almost? Not over the cover, but over the story.
I like how this video implies that George got too curious about pizzagate and was poisoned to be silenced.
That was just the right amount of existential levity that I needed today. Thank you, Joel.
Is this ai generates!!??
@@I_am_FRANCO no
This video brought tears to my eyes.
I'm a real dude and I have real emotions too. At the beginning of the vid I felt a bit of melancholy for a beloved childhood character. Then, I felt joy as I was moved by George's monolog..We have to learn how to love again and to feel loved in return.
@@jebreski will a day come and be able to create such things with ai tools? I'm too lazy to learn animation

'Oh, so this guy animated the humans in smiling friends!!!"
Only Joel can blindside me like that. Came for the laughs, stayed for the love. thanks for another masterpiece, man.
!!!
I clicked into this expecting some quick laughs, but this is legitimately a dramatic masterpiece. How you managed to cram such a range of emotions into a 5 minute video is well beyond me. You sir are extremely talented, thank you for these videos!
Well said.
you said it better then i could
Rip George😔
same. 😔
I am continuously impressed by your ability to ride the line between humor and the heavier things. This is gold.
It’s amazing. Joel must have some preternatural sense for where to cut things, especially without causing neck-breaking whiplash.
4:53 “ooh ooh aah aah” I love that part
This message was so personal, I never thought I'd feel touched by a wise monkey's last words
What a soulful cover there at the end! RIP George.
Jack Johnson cover was rad
Does someone know if there's a full version? The link to Spotify in the description didn't work for me
Please don't go away, please don't go away. Is this how it's supposed to be?
RIP Ponderous Cody
It was covered by Kevin Sloan, very well done! I use to love Jack Johnson before he was extremely famous, although still somewhat known. I have 2 of his earlier albums on vinyl. They're GREAT to spin on a rainy morning with a joint, and or cigarette, with coffee and/or alcohol. Jack is one of the reasons I got into playing guitar. From people who know Jack Johnson they say he's an amazing soul. You never hear bad things about him. I believe he still walks barefooted are the big island even tho hee a multimillionaire.
I was completely surprised when George didn't go down the Illuminati rabbit hole when talking about the dark web. That answer was way more real than I was expecting. This was a very thought provoking video. Great job.
Do you know what george meant by q
@@balouthebear2942 quanon
@@balouthebear2942 Q is a person or group of people pretending to be Trump-supporting government insiders that repeatedly claimed that "we" are 2-3 months away from "major happenings," some newsworthy and beneficial to the Trump voter base, often through cryptic messaging that make his followers feel smart and involved by deciphering them. The height of Q popularity was during the Trump administration, and the effect of the messaging was the building of a large following of conspiracy theory enthusiasts, and also a quelling of Trump supporter concerns over him not fulfilling any major campaign promises (other than tax cuts), as these people never got anything done. Their "trust the plan" slogan diverted Trump supporter criticism and relieved pressure on Trump to follow through on his controversial 2016 campaign promises.
This has led to some to believe in another conspiracy theory, that some conspiracy theories are spread in order to prevent any action on anything real being taken. Debates about the physics of steel beams, bullet trajectories, and demonic forces displace and discredit-by-association debate about who is responsible, who benefitted, and who are complicit.

George is spitting facts. Love is the most important thing in this world. Not necessarily romance, just valuing those around you, or even showing kindness to anyone.
the elite are still trafficking African children though, I get that people can get too caught up in all the "conspiracy theories" but there needs to be some level of justice in the world.

keep going man - love yourself, love your enemies. everyone deserves it
All you need is love. John Lennon. Smart man. Shot in the back, very sad.

Why am i more emotionally impacted by a 5 min cartoon of a talking monkey than any tv or film ive seen in a decade? This is really art joel thanks for all your hard work
if you want something emotionally compelling you gotta get on andor. i know theres a layer of SERIOUS corporate cynicism around these shows but for real, its good and will make you feel something.

I didn't expect an incredibly important, complex, and touching message to come from curious george.
Bro became a little too curious..
Fr. I went from laughing to tearing up. That hurt, man
shut up poop!
This made me cry man how was my laugh taken and turned into crying from this
He literally just stated "ignorance is bliss" in really flowery prose.
Starts out making a comedy about a dying George reflecting on his endless curiosity and what it all meant, and ends up making one of the most emotionally profound animated shorts I’ve ever seen. Gracious. I never imagined the day I would shed a tear for curious George and The man in the yellow hat.
His name is Theodore!
“Im dyin’ Theodore,” greatest delivery of a line in cinema
This means so much to me; more than you could ever imagine. Thank you.

What the hell?? Comedy, absurdity, sincerity, drama, emotional truths, introspection; so very, VERY much packed into 5 minutes! Dude, Joel, youre a legend. This, right here, is a masterful work of comedic art. Congratulations, pat yourself on the back, spend some extra money to treat yourself to something nice! You deserve it. And all the actors who took part in this, even the doctor, all did a 10/10 job performing this. I'm honestly humbled as a creative person. Humbled.

That slowed version of Upside down brought me to tears. I can't tell you how many times I watched The Curious George movie, and that beginning scene, even as a child made me sad because of how lonely George was, not having anyone to really relate to. But this parody, I can't quite describe how touching this is. It's fitting somehow, and so profound.
Same curious George was my childhood and hearing the slowed down Upside Down had me feeling so nostalgic and sad at the same time
Was hoping we could get a full version of the slow version
Dude same. So many memories with Upside down. I was crying towards the end.
It's a comedy because it's sad
hehe monke
“Love. Love Theodore. Love while you still can.”

I expected to get “Rick Rolled” by this one. But…
It made me cry. I’m thankful that my son sent me something that says he loves me.

@@elinamanansi5508I aswell, I’m sure many others do to. How can you not when it can be so profound and touching. Never stop coming back to this video.
I knew this learning human behavior. Even learned how to filter myself so I can just let the worst and unnecessary things leave my mind.
I dedicate my channel and a lot of my thinking to those incapable of love. The only reason I stick to it is because I know too much to stop now. There are answers and they would get out if this wicked site would let us post the comments.
living a life for love is both selfish and harmful. Good has a positive and negative, if you only offer half, you are minimizing how much good is in the world.

A funny concept with a profound message. We're all just scared and frustrated people looking for answers, but what we really need is just some love.😢
Some of us men and women are nothing but afraid of it. The commitment, the fear of being led astray. If one has faith in love lasting forever, you who believes in it must clutch it like a cornerstone, if it means anything at all.
@@josephshmoesinsky8610 i don't even think he's just talking about romantic love. but any kind of love. loving the people around you in like, friends, family, pets, strangers. just to show love and kindness to those who are scared cause fear is all they know. kindness, compassion, generosity, love. such important things we forget all the time, but we never should.
Somewhere along the line I forgot all about the concept being funny and started to question why I came here expecting humor…
The subtle smirk that creeps up on Theodore’s face when he’s pondering on George’s lasts words while he drives home is so heartwarming. There’s grief but there’s also hope.
I’ll always come back to this, man this is a masterpiece deserves many rewards
Coming from a huge George fan, this is a cinematic masterpiece. When the slow version of “Upside down” came in I got goose bumps!

Wait, WHAT did you do to that poor goose again?
Goose pumps? So like goose themed pump shoes then?
@@drcurio I was high when I wrote that so I didn’t mean to write pumps
I was getting choked up listening to George’s last words. Then I read his tombstone and was laughing. What a roller coaster of emotions you put me through.
that is the trick, a beautiful thing
The toombstone creeped me out just a smidge because I was born in 2003, meaning George was about as old as I am when he died.
Damn, "Love while you still can" hit me harder than I could've expected. It's been a year since my dad passed and he used to watch Curious George with us. He just seemed to love that show for some reason, and I guess there is still more love for us to spread. While we still can.
I sometimes tell people "Spend as many days as you can with those you love. There will only be so many days."
That's cool that it had such a personal touch for you. Sorry for your loss. I will go see my dad this weekend, in your honor
I've lost a lot of family members within the last 6 years, moreso 2 but it started a bit ago
Anyways, I've been trying to stay in the moment,
Enjoy the time I have with people, because we never know how much time we have left with them
Death never gets easier.. and we never truly forget those we lose.
But time does heal most wounds
I wish you the best
And remember to be present
The effort that went into this is amazing. The animation, the art, and that amazing outro music.
