SO SO SAD I CRY

[Interrater]

You have a very Man or Astroman feel to your music. Love it.

[maraseea]

this man is an amazing song writer/singer

[CodeDragonDM]

I discovered this song last year when working in the middle of the mall, I tried to play it from my kiosk at least once a day as it made me happy. Everyone thought it was so cheery, and that gave me the biggest grin.

[SuperMrButtons]

He sounds like Weird Al Yankovich

[BlueBunny01025]

Soooooooooo cool. thumbs up if you pressed the restart at least 2 times. (or more) and thumbs up if when you first saw this you were like ;O; omg. lol

[marcrsoto]

@BlueBunny01025 I certainly did!!! Even more, I've added this song to my iPod's "Christmas songs" list to hear while we're having dinner tonight! :) (BTW, apologize for my English)

[drunkenhousecat]

great, dude. very nice.

[91732kim]

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUU SANTA!!!! ;'(

[Stealth496]

ITS PEOPLE! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

[PyroGothNerd]

@Stealth496 just looked that up, and you're right. It's from a sci fi movie from the 70's. Disturbing.

[InfernusKnight]

@PyroGothNerd How can you call yourself a Nerd if you have to look it up?

[PyroGothNerd]

@InfernusKnight I don't know how to reply to that one other than LOL

[Maurbel]

@InfernusKnight how can you NOT?

[Turbo852]

My grandpa had a Santa doll with glowing red eyes. It was scary!

[LolzSTL]

@Turbo852 cool



[jra5126]

I want so badly to give this video a thumbs up, but it has exactly 1000 "likes" and my OCD won't let me lol

[xCautionx24]

@jra5126 Now it has 1001

[ElNerdoLoco]

Why is Jingle Bells still a thing? We have to stop letting Jingle Bells be a thing when something like this is virtually unknown. I'd hope a robot counsel would demand this.

[MarkD87dk]

Love this song! I was so happy when they played it before the Wakey! Wakey! concert last Sunday ^_^

Oh and just so you know, that mine is very focused on human welfare... Was that good enough Mr overlor, I mean, protector?

[delorean225]

Soylent Green??!! Yummy! THE PIE IS PEOPLE!!!

[jpoon071893]

OMG YOU BASTARDS, YOU KILLED SANTA! D: 

[ixSTRAFExi]

wow look at all the unoriginal comments below me -__-

[DarthKain0]

@ixSTRAFExi Whatever. I thought it was funny....

[ixSTRAFExi]

@DarthKain0 I mean its funny to an extent, it just gets sad and annoying when there's a top rated comment and then 50 other people write comments almost identical to it.

[DarthKain0]

@ixSTRAFExi WHAT? I thought I was being original! D:

[imtheonlysane1here]

IT'S PEOPLE! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! AND I'M SCREAMING THIS VERY IMPORTANT PLOT TWIST IN THE PROMOTIONAL TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE! WHAT KIND OF SENSE DOES THIS MAKE???

[DarthKain0]

We're working in a mine. For our Pony overlords. Did I say overlords? I meant PROTECTORS.

[zoeandcallie]

32 people are working in a mine for robot overlords. did i say overlords i meant protectors.

[NinjaMarshmallows]

Last time I checked, soylent green isn't actually green... Ewww.

[angryrusski]

Could not describe the North Korean situation better myself

[Azriel637]

1:46 Engaging Santa-vision!

[raptorbean]

One of his best songs, and one of the best videos for them.

[takanabanana]

32 people have been bad, but at least they tried.

[Zoronii]

Noooo! Santa!!!

[XxPunkerkittyXx]

this song makes me so damn sad... this family cant spend christmas, the time of love with the others, even the kids must work, santa is dead... i would kill myself :<

[mrjoshhenry1]

soylent green gets me every time

[maintoc]

@mrjoshhenry1 It's always nice to have people for dinner. :p :p :p

[chandlerj333]

[rkt739]

haha I just noticed how the robots stand closer after he says the "overlords? I meant protectors" line

[rozar142]

YOU KILLED SANTA CHRIST MOTHER FUCKER!!!

[tightman56]

32 people r jerks,help and make it quick before they.....message detected.>___>

[tightman56]

32 people r jerks,help and hurry before they.....message detected.>___>

[Sirenhound]

@tightman56 not detected, redacted, derr!

[tightman56]

no detected

[tightman56]

detected

[Sirenhound]

@tightman56 you better tell JoCo he got his own lyrics wrong then.

(unless you are just making your own stuff up on purpose, which doesn't make much se... message infected)

[niceshot11]

@Sirenhound lawl.

[NiceHotCupOfBro]

@Sirenhound It's [MESSAGE REDACTED] if you look at the video.

[Sirenhound]

@NiceHotCupOfBro Are you implying this song has conditional lyrics?

[NiceHotCupOfBro]

@Sirenhound Hah. "If you need me, my name is Sarah. If you don't, I'm Mike." I'm assuming you're a Demetri Martin fan, too?

Anyway, yeah. It's "Message Redacted" if you look at the video. Otherwise it's "You're a faggot." Of course, you wouldn't know. Reality influences you to watch the video at that point unless you have very strong willpower.

[Sirenhound]

@NiceHotCupOfBro Either that, or you could read my full conversation with tightman56 and see that I was arguing that very point with him... and you're accusing me of being ignorant?

[NiceHotCupOfBro]

@Sirenhound Jesus, man, I was making a joke. Calm down. I wasn't accusing you of being ignorant.

[jedihunter176]

@tightman56 Detect means to find something. Redact means to take away.

You are 10 years old.

[tightman56]

actually 32 people are robot overlords...did i say overlords,I meant protectors.>__>

[t0ta11yd1sturb3d]

32 people got raped by a polar bear with a sombrero!

[NCRAssassin]

I think santa is in the pie

[RhapsodieNE]

Message Redacted. 

[MrFrosteh]

[Matrixcompy]

[piro632]

Funny

[rpmrpms]

Did they just kill Santa?

[Evachan2010]

Why hasn't this been recognized as a christmas carol yet?! I'd actually have a reason to go singing in the freezing cold! =o

[aQuaSPLaSHLoVe]

lol i was expecting a hand to pop out of the pie, because soylent green is disguised human flesh

[Thedoraify]

<3 pie...*barf*

[MJJWDS201167]

ZELDATHON!!!

[yUT2ube]

[yUT2ube]

[SamuelSlowMotionTV]

So THAT is why I didn't get any presents from Santa Claus since 2006

[SakariNy]

32 humans were banished to an asteroid.

[gmosphere]

[Sammichez1]

@gmosphere

GET YOUR CLAWS OFF ME, YOU DAMNED DIRTY ROBOT OVERLORDS! I mean, uh, protectors!

[HazelCarter287]

Then someone came, and taught us how to fight, taught us how to mash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He brought us back from the brink. His name was... Coulton. John Coulton..."

[wannie822]

That made me sad :(

[TheVooDooTaco]

Why does everybody goe with the "nice" version?

I want to see a santa getin nailed to a cross infront of an audience!

[elvenyola]

ah it makes me want xmas to come

[makenna88]

Santa! NOoooo!

[jicty]

best. Christmas. song. ever.

[volcunman2000]

fuck robots just use the pick axe and no more robots

[EmeraldSky33]

They look like Cylons. :-) <3

[goldenlover606]

@EmeraldSky33 le gasp! that's exactly what i was thinking! =D

[DocRossim]

Excellent animation, very fitting to the song, although I've noticed something -- Anderson Jr. has brown eyes, but his parents have blue and green eyes... and brown is dominant genetically over both blue and green... so OMG! Anderson Jr. isn't really Mr. Anderson's son!

[phopojijo]

@DocRossim He could have been forced-adopted by the robot council.

[ScottZirpolo]

He has such an interesting sense of humour!

[sparkish808]

Yay Tom Ellsworth! YAY!

[jocopro]

Actually, the best way is to go to Jonathan Coulton's website and get it as a mp3 or FLAC.

You can even get it free if you want to look through his old blog posts (hint it wasn't released at Xmas)

[hagenisse]

Wished Santa survived... >..>

[wowbigfannilud]

@hagenisse he dose he turns invisable and sAVES THEM

[piro632]

@hagenisse lol

[vincentvchaos]

@hagenisse He did! He rode a little parachute down to the asteroid and is hiding amongst the people there. He got out right before the ship exploded.

[fahq8484]

[mauralix]

I like this Song, mainly for UltraStar.

[Tobacc0]

Its got a very nice ELO feel to it.

[DigiMonkeyPoke2]

1:06 just listening to the song I visualize giant chrome santa statues with glowey eyes and an antenna that zaps people :D kinda different but still! 2:03 theyr SO going on the naughty list >:(

[thekingodzilla]

bitches killed santa =0

[abcdepp666]

lol xD

[HabboGuy111]

The dad look's alittle like chuck norris.

[ChibiHoboProductions]

Not possible. If that was true, the robots would be sending out distress messages.

[darkprince123]

the wow one was better in my opinion

[plazmamonkrylord]

Most of them are wow ones

AND WOW SUCKS play eve its better cos it has lazers and gratuity

[StereoA]

>implying there are no casual mmorpg players

[Alokue]

someone has some brains. :D

[vurtualboy]

@froggernewbie yes of course frogger, cuz everyone knows playing any other type of game isn't wasting your life at all

[PhazonShooter]

@froggernewbie its just like any other game its just to kill time

[noregrets92]

@froggernewbie

what if its their source of income? without it they wouldnt have a decent standard of living, and its something they enjoy doing which, to be honest, sounds like a pretty good use of their time. do you get paid for doing something you actually enjoy? think before you criticize...

[vurtualboy]

@plazmamonkrylord what are you talking about? everyone knows eve sucks, that's the only reason people play it, look at any forum, as ironic as it sounds

[brownboom]

that just sounds stupid

[PhazonShooter]

@plazmamonkrylord nobody really cares

[otakuploader]

The video's awful, but the song's amazing xD Go JCoulton!

[pandora6666]

hahahahahahahaha! this is great!!

[newername]

When the Christmas songs on the radio start grating on my nerves I pull this up.

It sure beats hearing about hippopotamuses again...

[Barrettfloyd82]

God I hate that hippopotamus song.

[ctrymaus]

This is one of my favourite Christmas songs!! Great video accompaniment!

[RAEIVET]

im gonna play this during the christmas party this year

[yore5]

i heard this on audiosurf xmas 08

[conal19844444]

same here ;)

[bsubassbaby2]

this song makes me giggle

[blibbit1]

Yay! Santa sploded!

[arhoptt]

SANTA N000000

[TotzthePlaid]

AMAZING video. One bit of constructive criticism, however: I wish you had used different animation the 2nd and 3rd times on the chorus. Seeing the same thing thrice is a little repetitive, but it's still almost 100% win, so...

[EccentricWolven23]

Santa D:

[Killacats119]

Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime

Where we are working in a mine for our robot overlords. Did i say overlords? I ment protectors! Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime

[shoezomaku]

[Danman429]

[natetechboy]

They carry weapons and they know if you've been bad or good = gold.

[lillich2]

this is a happy song (: full of joy

[R4Akai]

nothing cheers more up than christmas

[XxXEmoReaperXxX]

Great video dude, plus, santa coulda took those rockets :o

[warnick150]

[demonkid991]

remind me to cross this off my vacation spots

[blitzboi99]

nooo!!!!! santa

[agband]

I need to a mash up with Met My Wife In a Birmingham Supermarket. He stole my chord sequence!

[polarbeard2]

Oh my god they killed santa!

[unearthlyminionofgod]

those basturds!

[Firefoxred]

Nice video but I agree Spiffworld's WoW version is better.

[bigfatjerkoff]

>:( i love the one by spiffworld

[Rockandmetal45]

he is definately better than wierd al

[sirzerj]

You cant really compare them since they make 2 different kinds of songs.

Weird Al= parodies

Johnathan Coulton= own songs

[WuggaWugga00]

Weird Al doesn't just make parodies. He is just known for them.

[weirdaljedifan2]

@sirzerj

Actually, some of Weird Al's songs are original. His most famous one being Dare To Be Stupid.

[TheMonkeylad]

@sirzerj weird al is know for his parody work, but also makes his own songs, though those often are a tribute or parody of a style or band, i will agree they are different styles and enjoy them both

[DrSmokeTrees]

@sirzerj

Thats not 100% accurate. Weird Al does write a few original songs per album, though most are parodies.

Besides that their vocal styles are very similar, and so is some of the instrumentation to that which Al wrote.

[Alokue]

@sirzerj weird al makes lots of original songs. just because you've only heard "white and nerdy" and not any of his other stuff doesn't mean they aren't there.

not to say that half or 60% of his stuff isn't parodies...but...it's not all parodies.

if anything, when arguing how they're different, i'd say because joco is largely nerdy stuff, and al is wacky stuff.

[sirzerj]

@Alokue tbh i have a few of his cds and i like the older songs more than the new ones

[MvuaNdege]

@sirzerj Weird Al has originals, too. He just makes more parodies than Jonathon Coulton does.

[sirzerj]

@MvuaNdege thats pretty much what i meant

[ghostmaster24]

@sirzerj weird Al makes is own songs too. and Ive seen a few joco parodies as well, pod-safe Christmas for example.

[Kenpokid4]

@sirzerj True, but they're both very humourous songwriters :P

[sirzerj]

@Kenpokid4 i do agree with that =D

[SykoFox]

@sirzerj Actually, Weird Al does have quite a few original songs. But still, they're not really comparable. They're both great in their own ways!

[sirzerj]

@SykoFox I agree with you on that they both are awesome =D

[Niktok]

@sirzerj Weird Al makes just as many of his own, original songs as he does parodies.

[sneakyomni]

@sirzerj Weird Al does a lot of parodies but he does make his own unique songs as well. Everything I've heard from Johnathan Coulton has been unique and fantastic.

[Tappowasara]

this was not as good as spiffworlds WoW version

There isn't one better than his :P
