The ending is perfect imo. Life for the happy, popular people went on in a happy party with music and sex, and the non smiling depressed one was discarded and forgotten so he wouldn't bring others down. If you're not conforming you're just a drag to them.
God this is so true -- an artistic exagerration of course, but still an accurate point.
When I'm out walking around, I ALWAYS get people I don't even know bitching at me to smile. It's like for fucksakes, leave me alone, I'll smile when I goddamn have something to smile about. It's not like I'm a depressed person -- I just have a naturally pouty mouth.
WOW he really must hate smiling ah well idiots die and the world moves on fuckin retard should of smiled i know my comment doesnt appear to be deep and artistic but it makes sense he should of smiled he saw a sign which blinked SMILE! it took 2 spikes in the body before he learned what to do hell most people would of learned atleast after the first sadly a retard would just stand there and have no idea of whats going on and i laugh at that hahahaha
@Jeo1245 Yeah but it's kind of about the world wanting to *seem* happy, and perfect vs. how people actually feel... It's kind of about how people expect you to pretend like you're happy, even when you're not for whatever reason. If you're unhappy, no one really gives a shit, they just try to force you to LOOK happy... Out of sight of mind, right? No one looks disatisfied, then everyone must be happy, and then there's no problem to have to deal with. =)
My fav flash of all time! Gives me goosebumps every time... truly an inspiration... never stop your dark Nihilistic style... there's not many who can pull off serious satire in short animation form... you are a rare talented artist!
This kind of stuff really freaks me out, simply because it's coming to close to reality =/. Thinking these kind of pressures on people are really being used by our "modern" society.
I saw this a while back ... prbly on newgrounds...but I dn't remember that ending... it doesn't really go with the rest of the vid... any ways love it
No, it does. Pay close attention to what exactly they're doing. Go watch Polsupah. Wasilewski, like Kubrick, has mastered the form of making the audience question themselves as to why they're laughing at something so sinister and dark. (Like Full Metal Jacket) The reason why it doesn't seem it fit is all the more reason why it does.
tough tough tough one, this one. How many get killed in the name of justice, protection of freedom, "self-defence", "god & Co", love, etc etc..all good happysmileyfacesthings, right? right??How much differenceness can a people handle? questions..uncomforteable questions..Cool animation, thumbs up!

On the technical side, it's some sharp animation, too.
