I spent most of the video being stunned at how DEAD SERIOUS they all were. Then I realized they were trapped in a theater with Shia LaBeouf, and they're performing for their very lives.
The way Shia is doing a standing ovation at the end makes me think he organized this whole thing for his own pleasure. They were singing for their lives.
It looks like shia new something about the hollywood industry and they made a demonstration of power to shut him up and get him on thier side again. Cool red shoes Rob.
I once played an entire D&D campaign which was just the plot of this song. We thought we managed to kill shia labeouf, but shia surprise got our cleric...
When SHIA SURPRISE happens and the Shia-head dancers all grab their Shia-heads, I 100% expected them to rip the Shia-heads off to reveal they were all, in fact, Shia Labeouf
My favourite part about this was originally not knowing Shia knew and at the end of the video going, “ I wonder how he feels about this” and then seeing him as the only audience member
It's been 6 years. He's had film and TV roles. A very public mental breakdown. a brief stint as a battle rapper. He's become a zeitgeist infused meme of a person. Yet still, after all this... I am still totally, utterly unable to refer to him as anything other than "Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf". That is the true power of this daring performance.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses I read somewhere that the only parts that got done on 1st take was the shots with Shai Lebouf. Love or hate the guy he's an A class actor. Granted his part was the least technically involved also 🤷♂️

I was the guy in the middle of the back row of singers that come in at around 1:50. Your comments made my day. A number of you commented on how serious we all looked. A big reason for that is the song is rhythmically complex and full of tongue twisters. I practiced "You can do jiu jitsu" over and over and over before I could get it right. Another reason is that it was very difficult to read the music because it was very small and the lighting caused a lot of glare. Holding the folders was mostly for show, and we were singing from memory. We sang over a recording we made a week before, and what you hear is the combined sound. I wasn't worried about Shia eating me because there were a bunch of people between me and him that looked much tastier, plus there were lots of snacks in the lobby.

This is probably one of the most expensive and most elaborated jokes in the history so far. Imagine how much rehearsal and practice has gone into this.

The way that they all play this entirely straight is the best part. It's so over-the-top and absurd, yet it feels like it's just a normal tuesday night for them.
The sign of a truly professional group of musicians is one where they can perform something like this without absolutely dying in a pile of laughter every time. Lol you know there were run-throughs and a lot of rehearsals for this to happen too lol
@@luthandomdadane Actually he says “and do it well” I’m pretty sure - which is still reassuring any doubts, because now you know you’re not just shit at it - you’ve got skills
This might be my favourite video on the internet, I've watched this so many times and annoyed so many people with how fantastic I think this is. Thank you for creating this Rob, this has brought so much joy to my life. Also mad props to all the involved people that created this spectacular performance (the freaking dance choreo is soooo good) out of nothing other than a desire to troll Shia LaBoeuf and to the man himself for showing up.
Genuinely though, it's a great musically and vocally, has great dancing (Which only intensifies as it continues), and is excellent comedically. Brian David Gilbert taught me the word Gesamtkunstwerk, which roughly translates as a "total work of art" and describes an artwork, design, or creative process where different art forms are combined to create a single cohesive whole. This is a gesamtkunstwerk.
I think the ending with Shia being not only present but actually the only audience, and giving a standing ovation, is at least half of this video's magic. It just wouldn't be the same without that.
Historical studies are going to be very difficult if the future cultures don’t understand the numerous styles of humor we have today. It’s pretty bizarre.
Debating? We all know about the veracity of it and if there were cover-ups, sealed court cases, redacted files, injunctions, and media suppression surrounding it. We need to be more clear so that there's no debating the facts in the future.
I love how dramatic it is despite its silly themes. I have heard this several times over the past 10 years and until now didnt know it was by rob cantor. genuinely legendary video.
My favorite aspect of this video is how it keeps getting more and more involved. It starts with one man talking with backing music. Then it reveals to have a couple of dancers, an orchestra, and a choir, then comes in more dancers and a child’s chorus. Then giant headed dancers and a bigger choir. Then comes in the ribbon dancers. And then Shia himself clapping. It just keeps upping the ante every chance it gets.
@@croissantsareaustrianactually eerytime i see a rob fan my fiests curl up in ANGER. hiw could anyone like robert hward CRUNCHY cantor. (his turkish wiki page actually says that)
I am ashamed to admit that despite having seen this fabulous video for many years now, I had not yet given it a like. I have now, everything is right with the world once again
I gained so much respect for him in that one moment. To actively participate in the video for a song that is taking the piss out of you is just fantastic.
Yea exactly so why is nobody talking about how they make actors do this kind of shit? This is why they get famous to begin with. Nobody is paying attention.
All these years later, I still come back, because as well as being a genuinely amazing and entertaining piece of surrealist art, it's an absolute banger.
Years ago when this first came out, my husband printed out pictures of Shia LeBeouf with the words "Shia Surprise!" and hid them around the house. There's still one in our bathroom medicine cabinet, which is great fun for guests who snoop where they shouldn't.
Omg. When this first came out I send Shia surprise texts and had a framed pic of him at my desk. I should probably put him up on my art gallery wall now.
this video was the first time id ever heard of shia lebouf as a kid and there was a short period of time where i genuinely thought he was a real-life cannibal and we as a society were just all fine with it because he seemed like a chill guy
That quiet kid signifies that the person in this person is a kid running from shia because shia is trying to kidnap children for the Epstein sex trafficking ring. Just open your mind and SEE.
I love everything about this: the music, the just DEAD SERIOUSNESS of everyone, the fact that they got a chorus of KIDS, the line “normal Tuesday night for Shia LeBeouf,” the EXPRESSION OF PURE FEAR AND REGRET on one of the close up shots on the chorus! I could go on for hours. We have reached the peak of theater
"Legendary fight with Shia LaBeouf!
Normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBeouf."

***** i know fuck this is twitter bio material
Gnawing off your leg quiet quiet 😂
***** Well, in the context of the song it is.
***** 'Shia surprise!'
"But you can do juijitsu" is the most interesting thing I've learned in second-person perspective.
Bodyslam superstar Shia LaBeouf
Severely underrated comment
I like the reassuring "you can do it" they follow with, as if to subside any doubt you understandably have
@@luthandomdadane
Actually he says “and do it well” I’m pretty sure - which is still reassuring any doubts, because now you know you’re not just shit at it - you’ve got skills
what about "you have just decapitated Shia LaBeouf"?
One "Like" is simply inadequate. This has brought me so much joy over so many years.
Imagine getting to say "My first singing job was in a childrens choir singing about Shia Labouf being a murderer"
A surprise, for sure, but a welcome one
Juan Rabson a Shia surprise
These kids are beyond bless for having such an experience bwahahaha
"with shia labeouf as the only audience member"
@@K1NG0FW0LV35 "The entire audience gave us a standing ovation"
I think this is the most high effort shitpost anybody will ever make.
Try "It just works!" By The Chalkeaters a parody song of Todd Howard its pretty good and is very catchy
Nah, shitposting specifically means low quality and trying to flood out the intention of a forum or site with garbage.
This is fine art meme status.
lift yourself-kanye west
@@fiyahspinnah true
nah someone made a shit post out of the entirety of Batman The Dark Knight
i love how its been 6 years and we are still here listening to this absolute bop
yes
Are you from the east coast by chance?
same
I needed to see this exactly now

This might be my favourite video on the internet, I've watched this so many times and annoyed so many people with how fantastic I think this is. Thank you for creating this Rob, this has brought so much joy to my life.
Also mad props to all the involved people that created this spectacular performance (the freaking dance choreo is soooo good) out of nothing other than a desire to troll Shia LaBoeuf and to the man himself for showing up.
This… this is art in its highest form. We’ve peaked as a society.
you are 100% correct
Genuinely though, it's a great musically and vocally, has great dancing (Which only intensifies as it continues), and is excellent comedically.
Brian David Gilbert taught me the word Gesamtkunstwerk, which roughly translates as a "total work of art" and describes an artwork, design, or creative process where different art forms are combined to create a single cohesive whole.
This is a gesamtkunstwerk.
You've clearly never seen r/place amogi.
I agree that this is art it its highest form, but I would argue that we peaked as a society with the advent of Memed Hams
I guess it only goes down from here
When I fell on a rake in 2015 and punctured my left lung, Shia Labeouf was there. He wasn't smiling or anything, he just nodded in approval. It hurt.
how did you escape?
@@Tulip_bip No sport.
clearly you werent at your peak and such, shia only hunting those worthy to kill him, left you alone
He was nodding to the rake not you.
The rake or the nod?
When you die your voice gets added to the chorus of this song
God, I hope so! 😇
Suicide rate rises to 100%
My favorite part about this comment implies that your voice is added to a gay mens choir when you die and thats beautiful
This is heaven, the afterlife of hell is being added to the Seinfeld laughtarck
it’s a gay men’s choir so i can’t wait
I am still impressed to this day. Someone wrote a musical/ballet and it’s just so unhinged and so perfect.
I think the ending with Shia being not only present but actually the only audience, and giving a standing ovation, is at least half of this video's magic. It just wouldn't be the same without that.
That's what makes it a "pay off" :)
It references "Citizen kane"
He looks certifiably insane, like he commissioned this
you now have 666 likes :)
Oh yeah I agree
Just imagine future historians debating whether or not Shia Labeouf is a cannibal or not
Debating artiefarties WOW❗
Historical studies are going to be very difficult if the future cultures don’t understand the numerous styles of humor we have today. It’s pretty bizarre.
Debating? We all know about the veracity of it and if there were cover-ups, sealed court cases, redacted files, injunctions, and media suppression surrounding it. We need to be more clear so that there's no debating the facts in the future.
@@Dan-ch8kv why did they worship a gorilla and stick their genitalia out for him? Hindu god?
No debate will be necessary. By then frensics should finally be able to account for all his victims.
"But you can do ju-jitsu" is the greatest line in music history.
and “stab it in his kidney”
‘Actual cannibal Shia Lebouef’
No its "Shia surprise!"
I'll raise you:
"Legendary fight with Shia LaBouef,
normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBouef"
"Wait, he isn't dead! Shia Surprise!"
I love how dramatic it is despite its silly themes. I have heard this several times over the past 10 years and until now didnt know it was by rob cantor. genuinely legendary video.
Why does the kid who said "quiet quiet" look like he actually saw Shia lebeouf kill someone
he did
he was told to keep "quiet quiet" about seeing it
He saw something.
I just got up to the door and I saw it
@@ZoeBateman He was so traumatized that those were the last words he would ever speak again.
The fact they made a children choir sing "You have just decapitated Shia LaBeouf"
The children need to know how to defend themselves from Shia LeBeouf, so this is secretly a blessing.
WAIT HE ISN'T DEAD *" S H I A S U P R I S E!"*
what an honour, right?
@@SeriousBusinessman. every kid should be taught as soon as they can walk. That's the ones he goes for anyway
My favorite aspect of this video is how it keeps getting more and more involved.
It starts with one man talking with backing music. Then it reveals to have a couple of dancers, an orchestra, and a choir, then comes in more dancers and a child’s chorus. Then giant headed dancers and a bigger choir. Then comes in the ribbon dancers.
And then Shia himself clapping. It just keeps upping the ante every chance it gets.
@@FunniIncrediboxFan what
@@FunniIncrediboxFan me neither i hate rob cantor ! he literally doesnt leave talent for anyone else :/ sooooo greedy
You forgot two aerial performers
@@hailtothethief2003?
@@croissantsareaustrianactually eerytime i see a rob fan my fiests curl up in ANGER. hiw could anyone like robert hward CRUNCHY cantor. (his turkish wiki page actually says that)
I am ashamed to admit that despite having seen this fabulous video for many years now, I had not yet given it a like.
I have now, everything is right with the world once again
This is undeniably a work of genius.
Scott, why do i run into you everywhere? You should be playing kerbal right now.
Jerky .Murky I'm at work. code doesn't write itself.
Apparently writing code also means shia labeouf, shia labeouf.
Brian Mandara Yeah Scott, no having diverse interests!
Scott Manley maybe it can or would it be a virus then?
That look on Shia's face at the end of the video...you know everything in the song is true.
it's a literal copy of Citizen Kane's clapping scene. An homage, I'd say
The look of a man who has been decapitated before
Little do you know that Shia is actually just a title, and the act of taking his life transfers the title to the killer...
I gained so much respect for him in that one moment. To actively participate in the video for a song that is taking the piss out of you is just fantastic.
Yea exactly so why is nobody talking about how they make actors do this kind of shit? This is why they get famous to begin with. Nobody is paying attention.
I feel like one of the more underrated verses is
"Legendary fight with Shia LaBeouf!
Normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBeouf."
Yup, true
that is what i noticed as well! you and I are the same!!!!
"That's a normal Tuesday night for you?"
"No doubt."
"You get hit in the neck with an axe and DIE?"
"Hell yeah!"
FR
The choir in the background is putting in the work.
Anyone else just randomly remember that this thing exists and come back to witness it again? This is what the internet was made for-
All these years later, I still come back, because as well as being a genuinely amazing and entertaining piece of surrealist art, it's an absolute banger.
Same lol. I wish therr was something of this caliber of production
Completely agree!
Bruh same
Same
Every time I find myself here I have to watch the video twice.
the fact they had shia labeouf in it makes it just that much better
Hey have u seen the interview Mr.un
ceriani1234 actually it is Mr. Kim and yes, its about two True Korea Genius Army Generals who satan obama has asked to do an interview with
At least your father made an excellent movie compared to it. _Pulgasari_ is a kaiju masterpiece.
Hello there great leader
General Admiral Alladeen i don't like how you've referred to me in the past but i'll forgive if you answer what you're doing here
Years ago when this first came out, my husband printed out pictures of Shia LeBeouf with the words "Shia Surprise!" and hid them around the house. There's still one in our bathroom medicine cabinet, which is great fun for guests who snoop where they shouldn't.
I love that so much
That’s hilarious
Inspirational ❤
Omg. When this first came out I send Shia surprise texts and had a framed pic of him at my desk. I should probably put him up on my art gallery wall now.
If I came to your house or someone’s house and found that I’d laugh my ass off because I’d know what it’s from
Just popped up on my feed and its been years. Time for another watch
this video was the first time id ever heard of shia lebouf as a kid and there was a short period of time where i genuinely thought he was a real-life cannibal and we as a society were just all fine with it because he seemed like a chill guy
I love the way kid's minds work.
@@renee8096THIS lmfao
NO THIS WAS MY EXACT EXPERIENCE
LMAO!!! That's awesome, that must've baked your noodle pretty good for awhile.
😮
It's always a good day when you remember that this exists.
good day
It's always a good day when I remember you exist.
I like to say hello and welcome you good day that is my name
Today was one of those days I remembered this exists, and yes, it was a good day.
I just did
The little kid saying “quiet quiet” is actually terrifying to me
The kid is my spirit animal
Where is he now? How is he doing?
@@plagueboi791 all i could find from imdb atleast, is he (Jack Thompson) was an actor for 'the mindy project' in 2015. nothing later sadly
this kid deserve a big mac
That quiet kid signifies that the person in this person is a kid running from shia because shia is trying to kidnap children for the Epstein sex trafficking ring.
Just open your mind and SEE.
Gotta rewatch this every year or so.
"He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint" I'm dying of laughter
he's gaining on you, and you're LAUGHING?
Now all I can see is the super-awkward Teen Wolf CGI of the werewolves in partial shift running on all fours... [crylaughs]
straight face gang 😐
2:02 The craziest plot twist in the whole story that nobody talks about.
"But you can do Jiu-jitsu" always makes me laugh super hard
Fucking thank you, I'm glad it's someone else's favorite line as well lmao
Especially with your bleeding stump leg
(you can do it)
"that nobody talks about" said after hundreds of same comment.
@@ryanatkinson8202 BODY SLAM SUPERSTAR SHI LABEOUF
I love everything about this: the music, the just DEAD SERIOUSNESS of everyone, the fact that they got a chorus of KIDS, the line “normal Tuesday night for Shia LeBeouf,” the EXPRESSION OF PURE FEAR AND REGRET on one of the close up shots on the chorus! I could go on for hours. We have reached the peak of theater
In an interview Rob Cantor discovered the term of this is bathos: the juxtaposition of serious and absurd. He was very happy to have learned this.
Quiet. Quiet.
You forgot about the SHIA SURPRISE!
How professional the dancers are...
@@therev2100 oh don’t even get me started about that SHIA SURPRISE
Whole video/music is awesome but that ending is what made this legendary.
