"I Feel Fantastic" animated video

[cupcake1012427]

i dont get y steaks would get harmed

[cupcake1022427]

well to all you people who hate this video you obviously DON'T feel fantastic!!

[Muznakh121]

... ._. Didnt like it..

[TheVindictiveVendeta]

i love how the contast was 4 years ago yet people are still hateing on you. I personally prefer this music video to any others because of the story line, it really fits the song perfect. When i hear the song i always see this video in my head.

[sheik530]

Did you forget your sanity pill?

[IFAPMN]

since when does cars look like eggs with wheels?

[anniekate76]

@IFAPMN In the not-too-distant future. (Next Sunday A.D.)

[tacobean420]

i wish i worked at Fantastech :(

[RhamanaChan]

This may not be the most 'technically advanced' animation but it has humor in spades. This video had just as much right to win as anyone else, she still put effort in in my opinion :) (and I say that as I've seen some terrible final year animation student's projects, that look like they spent 3 hours on it when they had 3 months lol.)

[MrCheeseWire1]

@anniekate76 I'm just giving my opinion. I don't care if you don't like what I said. I'm not a fan of stick figures. I have the right to post this. Haters gonna hate.

[MrCheeseWire1]

SpiffWorlds is so much better... Seriously? Stick figures?! WTF?

[anniekate76]

@MrCheeseWire1 Look, it's fine that not everyone gets the extra layers of story and humor I added to JoCo's already hilarious song or appreciates the stick figure aesthetic. But do you think Spiff would want his fans coming here to lob a little negativity bomb? Spiff, blackcatbonifide, and all the other contestants were quite gracious, and we all liked each other's work. So what does that say about you, that you feel the need to come post an insult? It's just gratuitous and mean.

[Spiderhoot]

@anniekate76 I accidentally thumbs-downed this comment when I meant to thumbs-down the one above it and thumbs-upped the one below when I meant to thumbs-up this one. =(

Anyway, I agree entirely. Your video is really cool. I haven't see SpiffWorlds' video, but regardless of whether or not it's better, saying that as a comment here is an asshole move. Sometimes I really have to wonder what motivates people like MrCheeseWire1 to be like that.

[roliasemina]

came back to watch this vid, it's been a while. Still love it!

[WagglyBean]

This video is brilliant, and is proof that creativity and style win over high-end software in producing something great.

Very very well done - some great moments in this little story!

[TheOneRebornElyrize]

awwww sweet :>:>

[MrWalkAwaySlowly]

"Uh... hi. It's me, Rob, your boss."

YES.

[LucyValentine]

How the hell did this win????

[jedihunter176]

@LucyValentine The votes were rigged. RIGGED I TELL YOU!

[MandaPandaAJ]

HOW CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 

[s0merand0mdude95]

Okay, I'm not going to deny that you put work into this, but quite frankly, this was not the best entry into the contest. Not even close. I know animation is harder than a live-action video, but this was not even close to what blackcatbonifide did. There were a few funny bits, but stick figures? Really?

[PinguimMarco]

"I'm in ur cabinet takin ur medz!1!!!" hahahaha

[Sanatra234]

I personally am not a fan of "drawn out" videos, but I do understand why it won. It may not have been a fancy realistic video with great acting but it certainly has thr artistic angle. Especially the transition from black and white to the rainbow chorus. Pretty much 100% defines tripping on pills.

[theromfreak]

that guy is high

[AndyRiotRed]

This video is awesome!

[sjulia1977]

i Hate your video

[xKatrinex]

I love this video and have watched it since you 1st posted it. I saw a few comments saying you shouldn't have won and blah blah blah. I love that you won - I love how you took the song and told your own story with it. The dialog between Rob and Mr. Fantastic was awesome. Loved yoga girl. You brought a lot to the concept and the happy ending is a totally winner! So YAY.

:)

[anniekate76]

@xKatrinex Thank you very much. :)

[unlimitedfunlol]

well, in my opinion, this is a really great video. nice job. i love the song too.

[anniekate76]

@unlimitedfunlol Thank you. :)

[Thegamergod2]

that was cool

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

umm no offense but how did this win the contest? this is the worst video out of all of them!!!!!!!

[eddiejc1]

This is a funny video, but I have to be honest----blackcatbonfide should have won that contest...

[california236]

@eddiejc1 Yeah

[cyberpsygen7]

@eddiejc1 i agree with you 100 percent.

[RitzsFTW]

i dont think this is the best at all. Blackcatbonifide's vid should've won. However, this is till ok. Congrats

[Iliera]

great video man :D

[BorisDaves]

I feel fantastic!

[PinguimMarco]

Good job!!

[psychophantom]

Cheaply animooted but the best video out there for this song.

[ST0PM0SS]

PILLS HERE

[GoferLove]

Fantastic video!

[LoveYouToDeath123]

only when i take my "Steak Tastes Better" pill

[VinegarEater]

Personally, I don't think this is the best video, but it's one of the best and this is probably the funniest.

[Shuda7]

good song but this vid sucks.....how the hell did this become the winner?!

[Fisaren]

you seem a bit parochial man

[spidermonkey54321]

i love that song!

[grizilflaven]

Proposal... Lol cats imn in canner teaming ur meds !!!!!1!!! Loloolololookllllololololololl­ollloloollolllpl

Lol

[Onlera33]

hee hee ^^ it's boring manager rob.

and i totally see why this video won. it wasn't about SFX, it was because of it's creativity, and, let's face it, the pure hilarity of it. joco appreciates that kind of stuff, so i'm not at all surprised he would pick this vid ^^

[omgEMILYlol]

this is over two years old and it still entertains me.

[MrBoboFace]

Nerts to the naysayers. This was cool! I especially liked the dancing (with the comments by adjacent reality) and the hilarious ending! :)

[mooseven]

Brilliant video - really well done!

[nova9731]

wtf...i think the other vid should have won.....itsin my favs if u wana c

[niyazi93]

awesome :D

[JazzyKitten13]

ROTFL! That was realy good. I love that song even though I hate drugs. lol

[TheGuyWhoCommented42]

I have read a lot of the comments on this video and, though it shouldn't, it is amazing how many people leave extremely rude comments. Sure this video doesn't have the flashiest look, but it is the most creative. Rather then sticking exactly to the song, storywise, like most of the other videos did, you added your own bits to it. For that I think that you deserve first place, so congrats and keep making videos.

-The Guy Who Commented

[olie266]

the wow 1 is better but hey u tryed gr8 work :D

[Ellduss]

GREAT JOB! I bet this took you ages?

[kiwilerner]

Okay, I don't know if you won (didn't even know there was a contest!), but IMO you totally should have! I don't literally laugh out loud at videos much, but this was hilarious -- the guy's expression as he's dancing, the comments from the pissed-off drivers, the "fantastic/fantastech/fantasti­que" names, and the happy hand-holding with the pharmacy girl in the ambulance. Adorable and perfect match for the song. (Extra JoCo points for naming the (boring?) manager Rob!) Loved this!

[tonyhawk980]

lol u lost competition im guessing

[anniekate76]

welcome to wrongtown, population: you.

[schwagcast]

This song needs to be a TV show.

[Artiqued]

Umm.. I can't find this song's the words of a song.. Do you know about this song's lyrics?

[anniekate76]

Sure, the lyrics are on Jonathan Coulton's site under "Music" -- click the magnifying glass next to "I Feel Fantastic" on that page.

[Bebster139]

If you don't find this video funny, they you are not paying enough attention to the detail. Great work!

[fight141]

either that or you didnt take your humeron meds today

[SasuNaruroxbetta]

i liked it ive watched it..um...dont no how may times and i love the song 2!

[anniekate76]

skullpanda777 finds blackcatbonifide's version to be better than mine, but cannot express that sentiment civilly.

[hawkmore]

Thats because of the fat cheeks

[Demotipper]

hehe i thought that was pretty funny nice work :-)

[Serekun]

Aww, cute. They finally got together.

[Elmegaard1]

This video is nice made, but the song is so grate, i could listent to it all day long !!!!! I listents to it over and over ! :D!!

[xo1AnimeGirl1xo]

you should post as a video response under me animation contest vid = ] you would most likely win only 1 person in it so far!

[ShellyLikesWafflez]

The video was great, don't listen to the others!

[Piddyx]

I think this is my favorite video of this song by far

[barkotron]

Very funny - great story to the video. To me it gets the idea of the song better than most of the others: like cdcdx2 says, everyone uses the pills.

I want a Steak Tastes Better pill now.

[Notmyrealaccount5]

Imo blackcatbonidifide's is better, but this one is still good :P

[yoshiboy456789]

OMG FUCKING HILARIOUS ENDING

[thelossbloodlock]

personally i think that blackcatbonifide's video is better just for the fact that it isnt animated and a bit better made

[rattylover159]

awsome vid! love the song

[Felritz]

This video sucks ass...

[LyricalRetrt]

This is cute [:

[SPQR8888]

great job andrea

[onoess]

omg ... this video is AWESOME! i dont agree with the song tho..xD stop hating !! stupid commenters

[cdcdx2]

I actually think it was a very creative video like with the people while he was dancing it actually had someone mention about a pill in the other videos it was only the main guy that seemed to know about all these pills it had a lot of small details that were funny.

[MrJohnCruz]

How the Funk did this win..its TUUURRRDD

yipee kai yay mother hubbard!!

x

[MrJohnCruz]

yeah i agree

[anniekate76]

Talking to yourself?

Did somebody forget his sanity pill today?

[hydey777]

your video is crap!!!!!!!!!

[SeipherusD]

I completely agree...I think Mr. Coulton took pity on the 6 year old because he "not dwaw so gud"

[Corona688]

If you think the art is half-assed, look closer. Simple art but very detail-rich.

[arewaykay]

this is utter shit and the fact that it beat actual good entries is a travesty

[dadragonlover]

omg, blackcatbonifide should have gotten first place! yikes!

[hirmunorsu]

one of bestes vodeo i've ever seen (or maybe exept lord of the rings)

[Allthingsgd19]

how do u animate it like that .. wow :)

[AcousticMonster]

Cute! :)

[Mr2718281828459045]

Quite honestly, I don't think this won. It's fun to watch, but it just isn't competition material.

[GreenRain5]

gay video, but good song

[xxRebeccaLouisexx]

Wow this video was really good!! I love the song as well!

[smartheart12]

awesome!

[ApesAmongUs]

My guess is that it won because there's more than a line by line regurgitation of the song. The video offers a slightly different narrative - plus you get the happy ending.

[dadragonlover]

yes, but its a tad repetetin (all he does is dance on the chorus) andyes its a frame by frame flash, but they're all stick figures... no offense but something this simple... sorry i should just shut up now, lol.

[togashiteru]

Me too

[aoiroxme]

dance on your OWN car! lol

[EbonMaster]

its kin of good but honestly, im still trying to figure out how this won...

[MascaraMadness]

cool!!

[johnchoson]

That tickled me in spots that I like tickled

[WennyMice]

nice

[antisdacoolest]

crappy video

[mikepent03]

u suck

[wowhelpme1]

its a slash program, its MUCH harder than spiffworld's, so if you dont like it, go and do some other stuff

[selkiemovies12345]

steak tastes better with a steak taste better pill

[dan022393]

Verry nice!!!

[bobhutko]

And kudos too on the names of the pills... Boviyum is my favorite!

(I can't stop watching!)

[bobhutko]

Awesome song and awesome video... I love the email scene and the sign in the yoga place...

[mothman6789]

Fuck yeah the sign in the yoga place!

[syatemofadown55]

I Feel Fantastic

LOL I LOVE THIS

[JeremyI7]

lol, i like the real video better, but this vid must have taken forever to make, so good job...

[ohilikeyou]

I feel fantastic after watching this. Like the day I did when I felt like the way I did right now.

[omgEMILYlol]

I think I'm in love with this video.

[ellisdone0]

nice animation ~ i get the impression you could do better than it though, with the circles it looked a bit... young? but you pulled it off, nice video

[pintsizecatastrophe]

Hah, gotta love stick figures. Nice work!

[twistedthreads]

I love it!! Great job!!

[treepeople13]

this one won!? im gonna go shoot myself now

[hobbes2904]

Oh swallow your pretentious bull. I'm guessing you're either a college freshmen still convinced that they are now independent (ahem....youre not)

or youre middle aged. in which case, go further the problem of over population.

[fubar66]

didnt deserve to win, sorry but its kinda lame, blackcatbonifie should have won

[AnitaBun]

Right; his video matched the song perfectly and had at least a tv quality...

This one's very good too because of the "extra details", but because of the drawings should be second place.

[HCtilltheend]

this one is nice..but i still like the played one more..just my opnion though..

[chronicremorse]

this deserved to win. sweet, playful style. your ending was delightfully unexpected.

[terradise1]

you know what everyone says the "real" one was better but i just went and watched it and i must say this one is way more kick ass

[johnmav]

This is a GREAT video!... ... CONGRATS! I'm an illustrator (with a much more realistic style...) but sometimes the world needs a great stick figure story... PERFECT!

[Iwantcandy112]

lol funny!

[anniekate76]

Thanks to all my detractors for keeping it civil.

[chronotriggerfan]

This one won? No offense or anything, but this one was probably my least favorite. Oh well. : /

[tainted111]

I have to agree. Its not bad, just not my favoite. blackcatbonifide entry is my favorite

[chronotriggerfan]

Same here. Again, it's definitely not a bad video, and I respect the time put into it and all, it just didn't deserve first at all.

[gigaman2003]

qft...

stuff should be judged on quality not effort.

this ain't high school :/

[anniekate76]

EVERYONE put forth a lot of effort. Check the other entries! Tons of work. According to the judges' comments, mine won because it also had the extra layers of original funny stuff added to the song -- the backstory and the gags you won't necessarily catch the first time.

[eBruce74]

Actually, this is Art and must be judged on more than the medium. Those of us not in high school recognize that ;-)>

[yipyipnopehmm]

I agree. I liked the live action one best.

[eBruce74]

Congrats on the popsci win. Visually simple but so much going on. Great backstory. Brilliant!

[Selkiematt]

I like the story, you could have done better with the animation, but you definitely have story telling skills, haha.

[Zacloud]

LOL, hilarious! Especially the cat pic. XD And you managed to have a cute/heartwarming ending after all that hilarity. Very well done. 5 stars ^_^

[Nydarovi]

LMAO Great! I always wondered why a song about pills suddenly adds alcohol to the mix like it's nothing...

[Fishy2shoe]

lol

[katydaqueen]

This is awesome! The line drawings just make it...

[mcr194]

AwW tHTs ClaSS oTS reLI cREaTiVE anD fUNY i REli ADmire The anIMatIoN iD luV to MAKe sumtHIn LIkE tHt !!! =)

[excalberx3]

lol nice... the song can draw people in like a huge light and moths o.o

[Corona688]

For but a few moments that was a completely bizzare image in my mind.

[Taighax]

NICE! This is how i imagined it happend, only no stick figures.

[porche12312]

This is an amazing animated version

[riversworker]

Great animated version. You had me smiling the whole way epecially after I watched the orginal. Great job!

[Kris1551]

I saw this when it won the contest a while back. I wondered the same thing until I watched it; it's got a really that makes it surprisingly addictive.

I really like reading lines I haven't caught in the past, and the happy ending with pharmacy girl + main character guy in the ambulance. :)

[bfsblinkbfs]

Hey I really liked your animated version. Good job! =]

[anniekate76]

I understand and don't mind that some people like one style better than another. However, I prefer to think of blackcatbonifide's recent feature as a plus for all of us. It gets blackcatbonifide's amazing Mr.-Bean-style video the attention it so richly deserves (now it's like BOTH videos won), it gets Jonathan Coulton even more publicity, and the extra views are trickling down to all of us who entered.

[anniekate76]

I loved Bonnie and Jim's video too. And there were lots of amazing, creative videos made for this song. Please check out the playlist I put together to see all the entries. (Link in the description.)

[jaiueorb]

wtf? this won? how is that possible?

[excalberx3]

easy it shows exactly what should happen! and if you got your had outa your ass you would see that! dumbass

[cheesydoodles]

Its good

But the Featured one should have one tbh

[Nemesis921]

lol loved every second good job

[SPRCOA]

This seriously won? Seriously? I don't understand how thats possible. I would have put this at dead last. I'm disappointed in whoever judged this, they must have been on drugs (and not prescription either)

[sllabnkcoc]

2:11/ yoganox...if spiritual oneness with the universe lasts more than 4 hours, see your doctor. LOL

[jakenos51]

aww how sweet. lolcats, that was funny.

[IxLovexJakexG]

that was really great lol

good job

[Nickikitty]

He gave the meditate girl the hiezman. xD

[EmperorLinus]

Pretty nice animated. :D

[jman4723]

what program did you use for mac??

[anniekate76]

The animation program is iCanAnimate, and some of the backgrounds were done with Photoshop Elements.

[acleansweep]

blackcatbonifide has more than ten times as many views so you LOSE in the end. And his vid is better, natch.

[anniekate76]

Why you gotta hate, acleansweep? Jeez.

[evbunke2]

acrually i think that blackcatbonafide's is much better, and that it should have won.

this one has the same animation over and over during the chorus line, and that dance looks so un-realstic, even for a cartoon.

[soupman2000]

i agree, not trying to be a jerk, but i like his alot better
