Possibly THE greatest animator ever. If you don't know who he is, here's one of his most famous works:

clicked link, scrolled down, saw youtube comments, closed window

All YouTube comments are garbage. It is actually entertaining, if not old.

Reading YouTube comments is a great way to see what the people scoring in the bottom 1% of IQ tests are like. You can meet nearly all of them in one place.

heh · 09-25-2008, 07:52 PM

yeah i know comments are retarded, but the point was the quote.

Okay, click link again, but this time don't scroll down. Watch video.

And remember, "I am-a banana!"

I once commented on a 30 Seconds to Mars video on Youtube. Someone had called the band Emo, and I tried to explain why they were not Emo.

I was then assaulted by a colossal wave of angry 30 Seconds to Mars "fans" who were absolutely certain that I had called the band Emo fags. I'm really not sure how they came to that conclusion, but it's entirely possible their minds exist in some sort of perverted reality where I go out of my way to insult bands I like.

The rejected clips are pretty great the first time you see them. I like the balloons one the most, though. If you've ever seen "The Oblongs", you probably wouldn't think as highly of him in particular.

I like Don Hertzfeldt, but greatest animator ever is pushing it.

'Everything Will Be OK' is really good--not on Youtube, though. Meh. I'd advise you all to watch it if you ever get the chance.

***Booyakasha*** · 09-01-2009, 09:23 AM

Just saw 'I Am So Proud of You', the sequel to 'Everything Will Be OK'. Excellent, frightening work. I recommend it highly.

Out of all of them I saw, Billy's Balloon is my favorite.

Boo, that was a mighty bump. Here, rest a while. Regain your strength. Some mead, perhaps? A whole spit-roasted venison?
