A warm Wednesday wish to you all - Funkbot 10,000 is now live on streaming platforms! open.spotify.com/track/4zshoFyr7RB7oOItKUQYtT?si=2458fb887fab4b1c Consume with caution. They say his smooth scatting causes a threat to the fabric of space-time itself.
This song is hilarious and awesome and SUPER well made! Your humor reminds me of Filmcow, the creator of Charlie The Unicorn and Shadowstone Park! I highly recommend that you check out some of Filmcow's stuff! Especially Ghost House and Merlin's Deep Sea series. It's now a dream of mine to see you two collaborate in some way!!!! They also stream! They do The Video Game Valley streams and they oddly remind me of a streamer called VuloLives even though VuloLives is in no way similar even by really distant happenstance.
*Epilogue:* Funkbot was found dropping buttery-smooth bops at the scene of the crime and was falsely assumed to be responsible. He elected to represent himself in court and after a moving sax solo in place of his closing statement he was sentenced to 48 consecutive life sentences.
Fun fact: I am a funk bassist, and I met a guitarist on a gig recently. He was a delightfully British man in his fifties who was very, very good at playing guitar. I assumed that, because he was such a proficient musician, guitar must be his full time job, but no; he informed me that he was a full-time civil engineer for our local light rail system in Seattle, and before that, he worked for CERN as the principal engineer designing the giant tunnel that the Large Hadron Collider now sits in. Just wanted to let the world know that the man who is in part responsible for the Large Hadron Collider's existence is doing night gigs in Seattle as a totally killin' guitarist for local musical theater. That is all.
Wow, my Dad's the precise opposite. He started a civil engineering degree, dropped out to focus on music, then got a degree in applied physics, then dropped out again to be a jazz guitarist! And it's weird because he's also a British man in his fifties, and he would have killed to work at CERN.
It's especially perfect because it's what follows the killer line: "two wicked criminals doing the unthinkable, robbing a civilian, the Pinnacle of pitiful".
Particle physicist here. Sent this to my pals working with CERN, and we were all overcome by the jam. Left the LHC unattended, and now something appears to be grooving from inside the beamline. Will investigate.
For some reason the one that gets me is the funk robot just saying, “…funk…funky…funk.” There’s some compelling storytelling in the way he acts; it’s uncanny
Funkbot financially advised me to invest my life savings in electrical saxes. I should've known his advice would be funky! Now I owe big bucks to Big EWI.
We all know that the corrupt insaneintherain is the mogul at the head of big ewi and anyone dumb enough to invest in that criminally funky scam deserves to lose their FunkBucks™
this was my FAVORITE song you performed at jacksonville last night!!! it had everybody moving!! blown away by the delivery of your music live. thanks for spending the time to find a marker for my CD :))
The real villain here is the narrator who puts far to great expectations on that poor robot, forcing it into situations far outside its musical wheelhouse.
I guess we all learnt something here didn't we? Don't project your expectations onto others, Funkbot has always been transparent, "Im a Funkbot." Why do they expect him to have the expertise? Why don't they help themselves? Stay true to yourself Funkbot, much love and respect.
These tones just instantly settle my nerves and transport me to a state of pure funky bliss. The entirety of my town could be flooded with toxic waste with funkbot idly standing by, and I’d still be dancing as my skin slowly boiled off.
The first two lines have become one with my brain. Soon there will be nothing left between my ears but those god damn lines and the great question of whether its pronounced guidance or guidance.
you're too good wtf the guidance bit is funny as hell idk what he said for his verses, but his hook "I'm a funky robot" hits perfectly every time truly outstanding
It seems future humans have become so advanced that they've fallen out of touch with how prehistoric humans used to be. So they sent back the only thing that still makes sense. Funky jams.
I've had this stuck in my head since you and Mr. Select rocked Boston a few days ago. Thanks for giving us that sweet rendition hot cross buns too. Definitely earned a new patron!
I saw you perform this live in Helsinki and it was incredible to hear you voice in person! It was also a great pleasure to see your sexy hip thrust gyrations, so big thanks for the amazing show :)
When I was 6 i was obsessed with the blue color from weezer’s blue album. So I had a “weezer blue” themed party and the cake caught on. Fire because I wanted the fire to be blue and we lost the table because it got charred badly.
I've been singing (and listening) to this song like every day for the past two week. It's lyrically hilarious AND musically excellent! Also, I'm now realizing that when the trumpet comes out of his head in the Hadron Collider it's upside down. :P
I love the dolly zoom shot of the mugger passing the knife inbetween his hands that keeps in perfect time with the music, right as the "perfect time" line is sung :)
clearly Funkbot was sent back in time to prevent some sort of disaster at CERN. (as we all know, scientists are soothed by the sound of Funk) Once his function was completed, however, Funkbot was left without a purpose. he wandered around, trying to help, but unable to. such a tragedy.
This is absolutely my favorite song from you i think. i just cannot stop listening to it. The beginning part and the "dont fret on taxes" bit kill me everytime
Funkbot, to the common eye, is a simple one-off character who's hilarious and kinda creepy in a cute way. However, upon analyzing the lyrics, we can kinda gleam Funkbot's past. Or as I _hope_ to prove, future~! Funkbot appears from a hydron collider at the science doer company "CERN", whether CERN is a government facility or corporation isn't exactly specified, but what is specified is that Funkbot 10,000 (shortened to Funkbot from here-on out) appears from "time and space" (presumably time travel) SPECIFICALLY after all the scientists begin fighting. This establishes that Funkbot seems to be driven by a need to help and calm down situations where there's problems. This continues on, as Funkbot attempts to stop a mugging, help somebody financially and fail to help somebody dying from rib and spleen injuries. Funkbot, instead of being useful, plays the marimba. Has saxxes in place of his genitals. Plays a funky riff. But that's because we're thinking of it in OUR terms of "useful". Funkbot clearly comes from a time where issues of injury, violent robbery and capitalistic taxation is no more. Funkbot comes from a Utopian society, one where the idea that somebody could die from rib or spleen injuries is a thing of the past, or can be remedied in mere seconds on the spot. One where capitalism doesn't exist, where the idea of people needing to steal to live or get the upper hand in the system provided just doesn't exist. One where - since capitalism doesn't exist - taxation fails to exist as well, meaning that Funkbot's creators clearly are thinking in purely Utopian ideals before sending the poor robot back in time. Funkbot isn't stupid, Funkbot can CLEARLY tell there's a situation that's giving somebody anxiety or downright upsetting for somebody. It's the fault of Funkbot's Utopian creators who, in their hubris, think that a funky lick can save a man. That a sexy riff will somehow stop a robbery. Funkbot's only true good being that they stopped a bunch of scientists from fighting one another with a sick trumpet sound, but the scientists were squabbling over something inconsequential on whether it was pronounced 'guidance' or 'guidance', and even then I can imagine that they chose to stop fighting out of curiosity from Funkbot. Funkbot is a soul we should not laugh or jive to. Funkbot is a robot we should pity. For all the good this robot wants to do, its Utopian ideals force it to fail in its attempts to fix life for others. Can it stop a robbery? Well robbery doesn't exist, so here's a funky riff key in perfect time~! Can it help you financially? Well capitalism and exploitation of humans doesn't exist, so here's some saxxy genitals playing a sick lick~! Can it save your life, when you need it most?? Well, pain doesn't exist. So here's a funky jam and a marimba~! While it's never confirmed, and while Funkbot seems jolly on the outside, I do believe that there's a part of it that feels awful that it cannot help the poor folks who blame it for their pain. Funkbot cannot help. Funkbot can only play to the tune of life. And currently, for all of us at time of writing, the tune of life is in F minor.
The tasty licks that both you and funkbot are laying down always bring me back, but the song reminds me so much of the Purple People Eater. Not sure if that inspired you at all, but I love this funky take!
A warm Wednesday wish to you all - Funkbot 10,000 is now live on streaming platforms! open.spotify.com/track/4zshoFyr7RB7oOItKUQYtT?si=2458fb887fab4b1c
Consume with caution. They say his smooth scatting causes a threat to the fabric of space-time itself.
I love you
it has been added to the jazz infusion playlist. funkbot 10000 shall bless my mornings
I am SO okay with this, funk robot!
REUHBLEUH
This song is hilarious and awesome and SUPER well made!
Your humor reminds me of Filmcow, the creator of Charlie The Unicorn and Shadowstone Park!
I highly recommend that you check out some of Filmcow's stuff! Especially Ghost House and Merlin's Deep Sea series.
It's now a dream of mine to see you two collaborate in some way!!!!
They also stream!
They do The Video Game Valley streams and they oddly remind me of a streamer called VuloLives even though VuloLives is in no way similar even by really distant happenstance.
*Epilogue:* Funkbot was found dropping buttery-smooth bops at the scene of the crime and was falsely assumed to be responsible. He elected to represent himself in court and after a moving sax solo in place of his closing statement he was sentenced to 48 consecutive life sentences.
you don’t want to know what he did in prison.
He made everyone groove out to his funky robot jam
Then they beat the shit out of him
Haha he is a funky robot
@@en--9881 he started the funkiest prison gang, this side of the galactic supercluster!
Fun fact:

thank you for the info
Total boss of science
are you suggesting that funkbot actually came up from that collider and scientists started playing instruments?
he's funkbots dad for sure
Wow, my Dad's the precise opposite. He started a civil engineering degree, dropped out to focus on music, then got a degree in applied physics, then dropped out again to be a jazz guitarist! And it's weird because he's also a British man in his fifties, and he would have killed to work at CERN.
It should be illegal to be this Funky AND Funny
God damn, wasn't expecting to see you here! Always love when one of your favourite creators supports another!
8johh8
I don't agree. Everyone should be at least this funky. The world would be a better place.
I'm in love with the delivery of "two wicked criminals, doing the unthinkable" part
"robbing a civilian, the pinnacle of pitiful" its so goooodd
He ’s acting tough, but they call his bluff
Saying give us your stuff or we’ll kill you and stuff
Saying "give us your stuff or we'll kill you and stuff" XD
@@francoiscedriclalonde1543 saying “Give us your stuff or we’ll kill you and stuff.”
“Give us your stuff or we’ll kill you and stuff”
This is the pinnacle of music
I just love the 'obey the funk' part after
Just conveying the bot just standing there as those thugs beat up the civilian
I love the scientist’s expressions when they start dancing lol
It's especially perfect because it's what follows the killer line: "two wicked criminals doing the unthinkable, robbing a civilian, the Pinnacle of pitiful".
"I'm the muthaflippin"
I love the scientist clearly saying gueeeeedance in the most Italian accent possible
As you can see from their varied appearances the scientists at CERN are highly international.
I mean I cant tell them… ahem … CAN tell them apart
@@jtpiano4937they’re easy to disCERN
@@kainevins9927 oh wow is it too early to tell you I love you?
When funkbot said; *'bwah da bwah ba da bah'*
There was a stirring in these loins, I cannot lie
Better than a stirring of the lions. At least at the zöo
@@yesand5536 fr i thought he said lions and got hella confused
"Do you have any kind of medical equipment?"
"I'm a funky robot."
*Produces "marimba"*
I HOPE there's a funky robot at my side with a marimber and an EWI when I go
"Thankyou funkbot that lick was nice but do you have any actual financial advice?"
LMAO I'm dying from that one
Just like that poor guy on the floor.
@@nolanchill LOL
I WAS READING THIS AS IT PLAYED LOL sorry i left caps lock on lol
"Funk....Funky"
I think I'm on "Team Gweedance"
The whiplash I received from "funk funky funk" to "a man lies dying on the floor"
ah so this is the new song that'll be stuck in my head for the next month
was it
@@SpuddyPotato yeah, now that you replied I gotta listen to it again lmaooo
It's still in my head months later... I even played it in the car.
Months? This ear worm digs itself in for a millennia
Yes yes indeed
Particle physicist here. Sent this to my pals working with CERN, and we were all overcome by the jam. Left the LHC unattended, and now something appears to be grooving from inside the beamline. Will investigate.
Did you ask the boss of Science to look under the hood?
Wasn‘t there a rap performance at the inauguration party? Saw that in a doc
For some reason the one that gets me is the funk robot just saying, “…funk…funky…funk.” There’s some compelling storytelling in the way he acts; it’s uncanny
FunkBot is the father figure I’ve been looking for
"and I'm a funky robot!"
I don't need a marimba!
I have a father figure for you: dad 8. Use it well, use it wisely
He’s the funk daddy!
The little thumbs up after he brings out the marimba is a personal highlight.
Funkbot was programmed to bring only the positive vibes.
But no medical equipment
@@emilysmith2965 positive vibes and positive vibes ONLY
You can see his pupils dilate when they look at the dying man
Funkbot has alterior motives
Funkbot financially advised me to invest my life savings in electrical saxes. I should've known his advice would be funky! Now I owe big bucks to Big EWI.
We all know that the corrupt insaneintherain is the mogul at the head of big ewi and anyone dumb enough to invest in that criminally funky scam deserves to lose their FunkBucks™
Eccentric Wheelbarrow Industries?
this was my FAVORITE song you performed at jacksonville last night!!! it had everybody moving!! blown away by the delivery of your music live. thanks for spending the time to find a marker for my CD :))
When I die, want funkbot to just gyrate suggestively when people deliver their eulogies
Or have Funkbot give the eulogy, and everyone else move their hips.
Shoutout to the caption “POTENT sexual thrusting”
"Yes, hello. I want to speak the boss of science, please."
Only makes the people at Cern hang up on me. Idk what that's all about.
Yeah, well obviously. The boss of science is a very busy person.
CERN is in Switzerland. Have you tried french?
You can tell he's the boss cause he wears sunglasses. 😎
Funkbot may not be able to practice trauma medicine, but he certainly can funk my trauma anytime he licks that bass, if you know what I mean.
1:03 this part, OMG, this is like, the catchiest shit in the world, how do you come up with this stuff?!
obey the funk
I even love the "rhyme" saying give us your stuff or we'll kill you and stuff. Classic JE
"Give us your stuff, or we'll kill you and stuff" You're a genius, I am hysterically laughing. Can't help myself.
I was laughing at this too, it’s such a bold move to rhyme stuff with stuff
The reason funkbot was allowed to time travel was because his presence makes no impact on anything important so the timeline doesn’t change
So that’s why he doesn’t save the dying man
Me: Hello, nice to meet you.
Funkbot 10,000: [UNTRANSLATABLE]
Absolute bop of a track. I want you to know that this was worth every minute of effort you put into it
i love the part where Funkbot 10000 says "[untranslatable]"
'boss of science' is such an amazing phrase, i love it
The real villain here is the narrator who puts far to great expectations on that poor robot, forcing it into situations far outside its musical wheelhouse.
help I've had this on loop for days, it's too funky
I guess we all learnt something here didn't we?
Don't project your expectations onto others, Funkbot has always been transparent, "Im a Funkbot." Why do they expect him to have the expertise? Why don't they help themselves?
Stay true to yourself Funkbot, much love and respect.
Mfs be asking a robot that plays music to stop a robbery, like tf was it supposed to do?
I finally get the lick joke towards the end of the song, after so many years.
Saw this live yesterday in Tampa. AMAZING show
Funky Robot be pullin a Bully Maguire standin over this dying dude
Every time his eyes point towards the camera I feel compelled to maintain eye contact just to make absolutely sure he stays in the screen.
Ok but why isn't this masterpiece on spotify and shit??? D:
it is
@@SpuddyPotato Oh shit it is haha. (It wasnt when I posted the comment tho)
This is criminally underviewed o.o
hi
These tones just instantly settle my nerves and transport me to a state of pure funky bliss. The entirety of my town could be flooded with toxic waste with funkbot idly standing by, and I’d still be dancing as my skin slowly boiled off.
Funkbot would understand
Tue true purpose of Funkbit is moral support
Funkbot's financial advice is that ʰᵉⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵒⁿ should take the offer from Johnstone Bennett.
shouldn’t be the first to appreciate the brothe reference
The first two lines have become one with my brain. Soon there will be nothing left between my ears but those god damn lines and the great question of whether its pronounced guidance or guidance.
Late comment, but it's 'guidance'
How this dude hasn't blown up is honestly baffling, this is better than half the songs you hear on the radio
2:18 is my favorite bit
So, we're looking to mix things up for next year's eurovision?
I like to imagine that the "untranslatable" bit was a series of vile slurs in funk robot language
Bada bada bada, badabadaba bada baaa >:(
Masterpiece, how has that not got millions of views already 😯
The Boss of Science is definitely one of the greatest titles a person could achieve.
Funkbot once saved my cat from being trapped on a high tree limb. He’s legit.
I love "the boss of science". Very underrated
you're too good wtf
the guidance bit is funny as hell
idk what he said for his verses, but his hook "I'm a funky robot" hits perfectly every time
truly outstanding
It seems future humans have become so advanced that they've fallen out of touch with how prehistoric humans used to be. So they sent back the only thing that still makes sense. Funky jams.
I keep coming back to this video it’s mesmerizing
The spiritual successor to "She blinded me with science!" I bet Emu would kill a cover of that song
Exactly.
Definitely a needed survey into the utilitarian efficacy of funk.
Saw this fucking legend in Manchester last night, absolutely unique display. Brilliant.
your so lucky bro 🥲🖐
I can't believe you got to meet funkbot himself, you're so lucky
I've had this stuck in my head since you and Mr. Select rocked Boston a few days ago. Thanks for giving us that sweet rendition hot cross buns too. Definitely earned a new patron!
Bro, this is exactly the energy I needed.
Unlike that last guy I want Funkbot to play at my funeral
I need this to be on Spotify! It's too good
You’re never gonna believe this
Honestly, this guy's voice just makes me grin whenever I hear it
I love the rhyme scheme of this song. rhyming stuff with stuff spoke to me on a level I didn't think could have been real.
I feel like this is the prequel to WKUK's classic Sex Robot sketch. The funky tunes, the thrusting, the disregard for human life, it's all there.
I saw you perform this live in Helsinki and it was incredible to hear you voice in person! It was also a great pleasure to see your sexy hip thrust gyrations, so big thanks for the amazing show :)
Value Select brought me here and I could not be happier
When I was 6 i was obsessed with the blue color from weezer’s blue album. So I had a “weezer blue” themed party and the cake caught on. Fire because I wanted the fire to be blue and we lost the table because it got charred badly.
I've been singing (and listening) to this song like every day for the past two week. It's lyrically hilarious AND musically excellent! Also, I'm now realizing that when the trumpet comes out of his head in the Hadron Collider it's upside down. :P
Seriously - Funkbot needs his own little EXTRA funky album!! :)
Bacon bot has been real silent since this came out...
This is a masterpiece. Gotta be my favorite work I've seen from you so far. I hope we can expect more work of this level of funkitude
10/10 a funky tune 👍🏼
My husband and I dance to Vibe it Out in our kitchen all the time, we think we’re pretty funky too!
I love the dolly zoom shot of the mugger passing the knife inbetween his hands that keeps in perfect time with the music, right as the "perfect time" line is sung :)
clearly Funkbot was sent back in time to prevent some sort of disaster at CERN. (as we all know, scientists are soothed by the sound of Funk) Once his function was completed, however, Funkbot was left without a purpose. he wandered around, trying to help, but unable to. such a tragedy.
I believe Funkbot was built by the resistance from the Dahrntz video to stop the AI before it takes control
This is absolutely my favorite song from you i think. i just cannot stop listening to it. The beginning part and the "dont fret on taxes" bit kill me everytime
0:09 goes through my head EVERY TIME I see the word guidance
MAKE IT STOP.
I'm so mad I haven't found your channel until today. We need your funk all over the internet.
i listened to it once because it's hilarious, then i started bopping it in my regular playlist because it really is 10,000 funky.
funk. funky. [ 8) ]

Can it save your life, when you need it most?? Well, pain doesn't exist. So here's a funky jam and a marimba~!
While it's never confirmed, and while Funkbot seems jolly on the outside, I do believe that there's a part of it that feels awful that it cannot help the poor folks who blame it for their pain. Funkbot cannot help. Funkbot can only play to the tune of life. And currently, for all of us at time of writing, the tune of life is in F minor.

You do know that CERN is real right?
@@infinitytower8957 nuh uh the hadron collider is from Star Trek dummy
CERN is a real research facility in Switzerland, mostly underground, that houses the Large Hadron Collider. That part of the song is factual.
@@emilysmith2965 I've no clue what you're saying, personally I'd never spread misinformation on the internet. *Tsk!*
someone sent this without context, needless to say i am not disappointed
So far out!!! lmfao… definitely put a smile on my face after a long day. Epic content man keep up the good work.
This might be one of my favourite songs ever
The Saxnut has always been my most favorite instrument.
Still thinking about the 'guidance' dilemma
Will this be on Spotify anytime soon? Bloody hope so
Update: it is now, I'm happy
Funkbot's greatest power turned out to be trapping me here for hours on end.
I just saw this live and i loved it.
your so lucky!
This is my new favorite channel on TH-cam. Thank you, Jazz Emu. Thank you so very, very much…
this song is EVERYTHING
And thus the sequel to “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath is born.
The only guy that can rhyme stuff with stuff.
Literally my favorite jazz emu piece. Funk on funkbot
man, i fuckin slept on this, u made so many godamn gems and im truly glad to have found u, keep up the amazing work!!!
This feels like it should have like 5 million views
It is an absolute classic TH-cam video
I'm not gonna lie this is the most funky set of beats I've ever heard You sir deserve the Internet
I've listened to this far too many times and I'm not going to stop
just met your channel, i'm amazed
Hot damn this dude needs to drop a serious track I'd buy an album.
Ughh the pinnacle of pitiful part is just mwah 💋
My dyslexic ass thought this was going to be VERY different type of robot
I mean… 1:42 1:57 you still weren’t wrong
The tasty licks that both you and funkbot are laying down always bring me back, but the song reminds me so much of the Purple People Eater. Not sure if that inspired you at all, but I love this funky take!
