Ok, so I _understand_ it, like, I know what the message of the song is (excessive consumerism and a lack of quality in return for excessive speed) and I know why it's written the way it is (it mocks commercial jingles), but what the actual hell did I just watch?
"As described in the documentary 'The Making of Plastic Beach', the track is about consumerism and the mannerisms and habits of eating that society is developing, joking that we will eventually be having microwavable jellyfish for breakfast." Makes me now wonder what cooked jellyfish would taste like. lol
I'll do you one better. It could also be hinting at the fact that mass consumerism is damaging the environment in an unrepairable way. The way the lyrics mention the sea being radioactive and silent. That could be about the pollution in the ocean destroying the ecosystem to the point where it's killing the living creatures within it, and possibly us very soon.
@@Weirdgirl213Which also fits a lot with the album’s title. A plastic beach would form because of a “radioactive sea”, with “radioactive” being a substituent for whatever pollutant you can think of.
I always imagined the music video as a DHMIS style where the two rappers are on a stage making a commercial for "super fast jelly fish" and a jelly fish guy in a costume suit would force them to eat "super fast jelly fish" as it progressively gets weirder and evil.
Everyone here who does not understand this, let me sum it up. This is a spoof on a commercial substituting quality for quick money and a quick meal, like a TV dinner. They mimicked the sound of a commercial jingle to make this and whereas it is certainly strange, it has meaning.
A lot of music videos are like that. For example: Savior by Rise Against: How do I justify the atrociousness of war with my own morality Video: Furry street brawl
This is the most dystopian freakin' song I've ever heard, and while I know that's exactly what they were going for, it still unsettles me so much... And yet it's so catchy. The duality of man, I suppose.
It got made 3 years ago! It's amazing: th-cam.com/video/1-iPq3qWeQQ/w-d-xo.html He spent 6 years making it, and it's based on the story boards, it's pretty much perfect. (Gorillaz even commented.)
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 Have it in one of my playlists, along with an earlier attempt by another TH-camr using TF2 characters...and IT IS AWESOME! 😍 Damon, come on and make this the official video PLEASE! It would make the fandom proud to see one of our own become a part of the Gorillaz story and fits quite well with the collaborative nature of the project with fans completing a project which you were unable to complete on your own...and, you've gotta admit, the Stuart Van As version IS the definitive version, hands down! 😍☺️♥️😁
Plastic Beach is by far my favorite Gorillaz album, a lot of the songs are just insanely deep and well written. Including this one, idk I always loved it even though it got a lot of hate in its initial release. It’s just a fun song too, it doesn’t take itself serious either.
Rhinestone eyes: The perfect conclusion to the story of plastic beach, showing noodle and Russel after being gone for the entirety of the album Stylo: Shows Murdoc, 2D and Cyborg Noodle leaving to go to plastic beach, with the car turning into a submarine at the end Superfast Jellyfish: hehe funni fish ;)
Why Am I 11 years late to this absolute tune. Rediscovering Gorillaz after more or less forgetting about em after Demon Days and some of their tunes man!!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! ONE OF THERE BEST. Its like theyre doggin on all the main stream artists and how they come out with the next big hit 'superfast' while they 'come in last' cuz they take time with there music, its not just meaningless words. i love the gorillaz

Cut to scene with Damon and Murdoc both tripping off of some Superfast Jellyfish 😅😂🤣 Murdoc: Mmmm...not sure what the chicken's about...but yeaaahhhhhh... Damon: Look! Noodle has blue hair...
I was always so infatuated with the instrumental that it was only last year that I first heard “the sea has gone silent” and it’s now my favorite part of the song haha
For some reason this song reminds me of my childhood (along with the entire plastic beach album). I have pretty much no memory of hearing this song or any other pb songs when i was younger (i was 5 with this album came out) but for some reason they just give me a very nostalgic feeling and it makes me happy 😊

I showed this to my friend while he was high and told him that you can actually find the superfast jellyfish in the store. Soon after, he spent five hours scanning the grocery store for the damn things. Moral? THESE THINGS ARE FREAKING AWESOME
used to be me and my dads song, we'd always rock out to this in the car, at home, when we're alone after an incident with mom, they split apart nd he started another family despite that, he was a good man kinda grew up without a father because of it but i still appreciate his value
plastic beach is my fav album from gorillaz, so underrated. i mean, it looked that damon and hewl put alot of effort in that project. the visuals, the "story", the songs are amazing tunes, catchy and melodic, i love it. maybe thats why the new ones didnt got me that excited.
It took me a while to realise this... But the reason why verse 2 is repeated twice (once again after the chorus) is to mimic the trope of what this video is parodying - television advertisements. Advertisers will often repeat their messaging, albeit slightly different than the first, as frequency of a message will increase retention of the information and emotions being communicated. Similarly, this is why companies will use the same slogan, audio chime and visual branding for as long as it's deemed effective, until the cycle begins again with a change and newer ideas. Anyways, Happy 10th Birthday Plastic Beach! Don't drink too much saltwater - the sea is radioactive!! (And chubbyemu might have to do a video on you :) )
What... The... Fuck... Did... I... Just... Watch...? Am I.... Am I tripping balls? AM I TRIPPING BALLS!? DID I SMOKE TOO MUCH WEED!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
@scrumdidlly that and how manufactured all food is getting now as pointed out by the line "momma's homemade from scratch but not quite". It shows a view on consumerism and that there is no such thing as making food from scratch anymore because basically every food we eat now is made or grown at big factories and farms now.
I want a number 4, number 6, two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

the one and only. They're very strange.
Btw they used this song in some commercials.
i really like how the song lasts 3 minutes, just as long as how it takes to cook superfast jellyfish

WHY IS THIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BEST GORILLAZ SONGS THIS IS NOT OKAY

I always imagined the music video as a DHMIS style where the two rappers are on a stage making a commercial for "super fast jelly fish" and a jelly fish guy in a costume suit would force them to eat "super fast jelly fish" as it progressively gets weirder and evil.
Don't hug me I'm scared in a nutshell
This is genius!! I love both DHMIS and gorillaz. This is a collab I need in my life
Everyone here who does not understand this, let me sum it up. This is a spoof on a commercial substituting quality for quick money and a quick meal, like a TV dinner. They mimicked the sound of a commercial jingle to make this and whereas it is certainly strange, it has meaning.
i think that fast food is a metaphor for mainstream music and how they substitute quantity over quality

0:38
MOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I love de la soul lmao, and this video is crazy and i love it
used to be me and my dads song, we'd always rock out to this in the car, at home, when we're alone
after an incident with mom, they split apart nd he started another family
despite that, he was a good man
kinda grew up without a father because of it but i still appreciate his value
trippiest video ever
plastic beach is my fav album from gorillaz, so underrated. i mean, it looked that damon and hewl put alot of effort in that project. the visuals, the "story", the songs are amazing tunes, catchy and melodic, i love it. maybe thats why the new ones didnt got me that excited.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG😻
my mom played this song a lot when I was a kid 🤣 it always made me hungry
Fun fact: according to Murdoc, the original video was going to be 2D in just his underclothes, roller skating around with the jellies
To make the Jellyfish Superfast Play at 2X speed. Hits completely different and sounds awesome👍
Im CRYING because when I was younger and huuuge fan of gorillaz, I NEVER questioned this video🤣😂😂 but now that Im an adult this is fucking insane
This damn song Actually deserves so much more love, if anyone has heard this on lsd then you know what I'm talking about
This is definitely one of the best Gorillazs songs
The guy in the video I having WAY too much fun.
It took me a while to realise this...
But the reason why verse 2 is repeated twice (once again after the chorus) is to mimic the trope of what this video is parodying - television advertisements.
Advertisers will often repeat their messaging, albeit slightly different than the first, as frequency of a message will increase retention of the information and emotions being communicated. Similarly, this is why companies will use the same slogan, audio chime and visual branding for as long as it's deemed effective, until the cycle begins again with a change and newer ideas.
Anyways, Happy 10th Birthday Plastic Beach! Don't drink too much saltwater - the sea is radioactive!! (And chubbyemu might have to do a video on you :) )
“The sea is radioactive” is honestly a chilling line for how joyous and silly this song sounds
I have been accompanied by the visuals by this beautiful piece of audio.
I'm just curious though, what favours do the jellyfish come in?
Chicken.
Carrot.
But it tastes like chicken. 😅😂
@@christopheralthouse6378 *crunchy crunchy carrots

THE SEA IS RADIOACTIVE, THE SEA IS RADIOACTIVEE

THE JELLYFISH ARE SO CUTE

That guy is a HOOT!
@scrumdidlly that and how manufactured all food is getting now as pointed out by the line "momma's homemade from scratch but not quite". It shows a view on consumerism and that there is no such thing as making food from scratch anymore because basically every food we eat now is made or grown at big factories and farms now.
I want a number 4, number 6, two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
That ending of this song was on Kendrick's To Pimp A Butterfly and now I like both artist even more
