David Firth - Alan

[MrDaithi240]

@MrMudslap I hope you fall down your stairs and break your neck.

[MrMudslap]

@MrDaithi240 I love you too, I hope you get raped by a pack of muppets.

[indigopocky]

How is this weird?

[theomnomnomplatypus]

I think it may be the meaning of that Alan is a superhero, superheros are expected to save people but really all he does is try his best to . It's one murder after the next . Do you know how many people get murdered a day?!? Really he's a hero because he caries the burden of even trying to save them not because he never gets there in time. It's a simple message but I'm sure there's a deeper one beneath it all

[MrDaithi240]

@objectableapparatus fair point man haha respect.

[DobsBomber]

Ha. I really feel this video is trying to stress an extremely simple point... *Hint *Hint... Sarcasm.

[ObjectableApparatus]

@bauhaus2 milfeater

[SlingerMarshall]

maybe alan should buy more time!

[shroomanox]

does anyone know the name of the song at 4:15

[MrDaithi240]

David firth is a fucking freak of nature. I hope he breaks both of his hands or gets them chopped off so he can't write or draw anymore ridiculous shite like this. Its not our fault ya were raped as a child and molested. So fuck off polluting the Internet with this garbage ya cock master.

[confoozled3737]

@MrDaithi240 I'm sorry that this doesn't appeal to you, but it is art in its purest form. Are you of the opinion that if you don't like something, it shouldn't exist? I hope not. Art is meant to evoke thought and emotion in the person experiencing it. It is very subjective. Also, if you consider the pattern set by most famous artists, their work was much more appreciated in the mainstream a considerably long time after it was created.

I encourage you to view unfamiliar art without bias.

[ObjectableApparatus]

@MrDaithi240 i hope you die of a slow and painfull death, and i hope you get your hands chopped off so YOU cant write pathetic and stupid comments like these

[Smonjirez]

@ObjectableApparatus I like that.

[MrMudslap]

@MrDaithi240 I hope David Firth reads your comment and makes a bunch of cartoons about you just to fuck with you, which is obvously very easy. :)

[pearlreferencelover]

mc devo init

[andwhatfire]

violent crime usually breaks out suddenly and unpredictably, when a person boils with desperation to gain control of a social situation. It happens because of the frustration and hopelessness caused by lack of resources. Striving for survival erodes civilization.

[edgarallanpony]

word, where the hell did he find that aphex track in such good quality...lest he was one of the original tape holders. which wouldnt suprise me

[silirus]

I dont understand why it says "Maybe if he experienced the sensation 30 seconds prior to the event he might be able to save a life" When if his vessel hadn't broken down he would easily have made it in time. Maybe there is a hidden message there, but i'm not creative enough to understand :(

[mcgstudmuffin]

how did david get such a high quality version of this aphex twin track? I can't find a version this good anywhere ._.

[musicman9881]

do i hear sigur ros in the back ground?

[LadyGxxxx]

Is that David Firth? 3:37 

[mypantsarepointing]

Fucked up...

[xjustin523x]

2:25 its devvo =)

[SOADafi]

and Brian Eno

[SOADafi]

I love how David Firth has such great music in his videos like Godspeed You Black Emperor, Aphex Twin, Sigur Ros, Boards of Canada, Animal Collective, Nurse With Wound, etc...

[Viterkim]

3:37 if you pause at the right time it's so fucking disturbing

[snowballeffect]

@Viterkim lol i paused on a head in a toilet

[AkenNichols13]

"A weird cartoon by David Firth"? As opposed to a normal cartoon by David Firth? Right...

[XboxHackingTricks]

The guy who was buying the gun.. Devvo?

[LadyTigerLily]

Is there Sigur Ros in this video? Oh David Firth, how I love you.

[DrRob1989]

Alan's hand-crafted flying machine would be a lot more efficient if Alan perhaps... had hands?

[SlingerMarshall]

...well i don't think i want alan to be my super hero...mainly because he has no arms or legs and moves really slowly.

[thegreasytoothpick]

Trippy as hell!

[mahligros2]

the message this time?

probably something about gun crime.

[SmashHits000]

dubstep

[cptnheartless]

this is so amazing.

i <3 Alan.

and aphex twins.

yepoooh

[oldschoolvescan]

@cptnheartless what song is this?

[frogman254]

[oldschoolvescan]

@frogman254 this is not 4:|

i refer to the song starting at 0:05

[punkymunky23]

@oldschoolvescan It's Track 6 of Melodies from Mars, an unreleased album by Aphex Twin. And the song at the very end is Track 7 from it. =]

[cptnheartless]

@oldschoolvescan it's from the Melodies from Mars Soundrack by Aphex Twin ^^ if you're talking about the last one... there's three different songs, which song are you referring to..?

[oldschoolvescan]

@cptnheartless i already found it.thanks anyway man

[cptnheartless]

@oldschoolvescan i'm a girl .___.

[oldschoolvescan]

[cptnheartless]

[xXsunnydayslaughterX]

[cptnheartless]

@xXsunnydayslaughterX did you find out what song it was..? D:

i can't findz it.

[boltesesion]

I love when David Firth use songs from Aphex Twin in his animations the result is very Great !!!

[alanquest1111345]

Oomph watched this because my name is Alan

[finnrocks7]

david firth listens to some awesome music while he makes his trippen cartoons

[46Liv46]

1:31 haha little white boy:)

[owurmoshingonmyfoot]

2:25 It's devvo lol

[Conkern65]

Did anybody else notice a black and white photo of to people at 1:30 and then a toilet?

[supercol1]

@Conkern65 I did :)

[Conkern65]

@supercol1 I just realized There is a Man's head in the toilet.

[AZproductions117]

You got the title wrong, it's:

"Alan- the alternative superhero."

[monkeylx1]

The message I get is that the law can catch people, but it can't stop the crimes, since it takes them over half an hour to respond.

[nerdyxpanda]

Now I'm very depressed

[xxawsomedeathxx]

i just like this

[spankosaurus]

FUCKING CREEPIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN. but very good. when alan's eyes go purple and spin then he starts thinking the pictures that flash up are disturbing...

[18deathknight]

Sick ass begining music

[decheater64]

Alan saved my mom

[mrmeerkatesquire]

That is really creepy when he says "A small child is about to be shot in the stomach" :0

[NefariousDreary]

this video really speaks to me! poor Alan. I think it's grand that he keeps trying no matter what.......

[HFGHFGGspooxBGGFGDSI]

lol at devvos voice used for the chav!

[MrPmj1979]

Alan = Cassandra Complex

[CarlLewenski]

It's funny. When I am sober, I like these videos. When I am drunk, they are boring.

Either way, keep up the good work David. That is, if you ever visit bunysnails channel and see your video there to see this comment.... Do you have your work copywritten? Oh, that's right. I am replying to a video on another persons channel. Welp, bunysnail, nice job being a theif.

[WeibchenOfDeath]

@CarlLewenski

idiot, he is spreading the word and is crediting david also...

[thewiteguywithdreads]

@CarlLewenski

what the fuck???

[Kevwa451]

pause it at 3:37 seconds and check that shit out, love david firth

[dhedarkhcustard]

That song playing in the gun shop scene is Svefn-g-englar by Sigur Rós

[CB836]

where can i get that sound track at the start of the clip

[MrSkaterc10]

alan soundslike microsoft sam.

[fyckah]

David you are my Hero !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phobia017]

Godspeed you black emperor at 1:00. Fantastic.

[sartisohn]

God Speed You Black Emperor w/ Alphons Fear on Trumpet. Find it.

[spoonradar]

"A small child is about to be shot in the stomach."

That'll be my new ringtone =]

[wheelyplankz]

devvo's voice.

[kelsxrunsxthis]

perhaps if he experienced the tingling sensation more than 30 seconds prior to the shooting then he would actually be able to save a life....

[AbbottoirG]

haha i love david

[lolerlolloler]

..wtf

[XxXrainbowsharpieXxX]

david firth and weird....no way i never wouldve thought XD

[saftydance2]

I think Alan is a police officer that lives in a city like Chicago. He gets calls and reports of people shooting. He tries to get there as fast as he can, but he is always a little bit short of time. Alan wonders what if he was able to have come 30 seconds eariler. Would he have been able to save a life? Of course he is an officer and will never stop tiring.

[MrOcskai]

@saftydance2

Nah bro, he's a fucking vacuum cleaner with a head that sucks ass at saving the day.

[punkymunky23]

Holy fuck, Sigur Ros. This video just got TOO fucking awesome.

[TheAaron87]

haha the chav character at 2:25.... DEVVO!!! (i know these guys all work together for the same site Fat-Pie)

[angiebaby506]

@TheAaron87

Lmao! So distinguishable! Sayin hes dole ant come thru n that! lol

[babyxerv]

i wish the first song played in my head and never stoped i think of it all day until i come home

[RollDeep1000]

pop out Glock gloooock ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!

[Fahstudios13579]

but his cartoons are so disturbing that it is actually funny and he does it with little technology and it comes out great, like imagine if he had more use of other advanced editing and graphics software. but its bizarre how he thinks of things case theyre crazy and fubar and just freakin cool

[Fahstudios13579]

whats the that calm music after aphex twin??????????????

[burrrntUP]

@Fahstudios13579 Sigur Ros

[Fahstudios13579]

@burrrntUP but like what song

[olivierpil]

@Fahstudios13579 i think "Sven n Englar" or sometin in that field....

[Fahstudios13579]

@olivierpil wow thank u for actually replying, yea i like theyre music sorta well the background music not the vocals

[Lynxtro]

lol its devvo

[xVoodeedoox]

the songs are called "track 6" and "track 7" by aphex twin off his Melodies from Mars album, which was never released. it's here on youtube though. good stuff though.

[cptnheartless]

@xVoodeedoox i love you D:

looked for motherfucking hours, couldn't find it T^T

i praise <3

[xVoodeedoox]

the song is called "track " by aphex twin off his Melodies from Mars album, which was never released. it's here on youtube though.

[YumYumYoMum]

sigur ros = nice

[LimesNorrlandicus]

There's much hope for the future I think. If we can implement sustainable development and no longer be oil-dependant...In any case in say 50-60 years countries like Iraq will be far better off than today. As religious fanaticism will die out, even though its currently on the rise. Technology, education, democracy and free speech spell the end of idiotic reiligious fantasies.

[LimesNorrlandicus]

Oh I forgot that "countries like Iraq" should've been amended to: "countries like Iraq and everywhere like such as".

[plasticnapoleon22]

lets hope..

[SingYAYfourEd]

one of his best imo

[Sneakysmrzy]

The song when he is in the gun shop is a beautiful song by Sigur Ros called Svefn-G-Englar. They are Icelandic.

[Locustx925]

@Sneakysmrzy what about the one when they introduce alan? what song is that.

[Sneakysmrzy]

@Locustx925 I'm not really sure who it is that plays it exactly, and I don't know the name of the song, but I do know that it is either Aphex Twin, or Godspeed. It definitely isn't Sigur Ros. You can try scrolling down all the comments to see if someone else knows, but you might have tried that already. : /

[Locustx925]

@Sneakysmrzy yup found it 4 minutes after commenting. what a dimwit i am. oh well. thanks anyway.

[Sneakysmrzy]

@Locustx925 no problem.

[luigiK1]

is that devo in the gun shop?

[jarosikzero]

Certainly is. Christian Pickup doing the voice acting, and sounding very much in the character of Devvo.

[LimesNorrlandicus]

@scheiSSkind77 Aphex Twin, Melodies from Mars Track 6.

[Kukident1]

this most ironically just cheered me up when i felt sad and hopeless

[LimesNorrlandicus]

It would be hilarious if someone switched this music on (first song in this vid) during the olympics, instead of say the russian anthem when they're handing out the medals.

I would love to see Putin's reaction if it were to happen :P

[sexykeenan]

YES!

[Jackass5892]

I just love the music.

[killermiller1011]

Does any1 know the song where the kid is in the gun shop?

[x0xDarthWyylokx0x]

hmmmmm.. minority report anyone O.o

[madijaz]

what kind of art is this?

[Guilmon470]

XDD Bloody head in a toilet during one of those quick flashes.

[MrDutton94]

well basicly mate im jus gonna like start shootin people like ya know like proper shoot place up like in like this westen lor sort of a day like kinda ya know like glock glock

[Nooblolftw]

@MrDutton94 *Like this western i saw the other day

[MrDutton94]

@Nooblolftw haha sorry, kinda works either way :)

[Nooblolftw]

@MrDutton94 People from my hometown actually soeak like that - .- Imagine that on the street every damn day!

[MrDutton94]

@Nooblolftw i know what you mean man, it's ridonkulous.

[PatchCornAdams721]

No matter what the law does, crime will always be one step ahead, and will always exist.

[trashface123]

@PatchCornAdams721 Bet you copied that from somewhere

[PatchCornAdams721]

@trashface123 No, actually, it just came to me when i saw this, and it's true.

[temptstress666]

@PatchCornAdams721 That`s why I am a criminal

[XTripleXCrossX]

@PatchCornAdams721correction. people dont steal in the middle east because they get their hands cut of for a punishment. greater punishment eliminates the desire to take action in crime.

[13garo31]

@XTripleXCrossX sure....

[13garo31]

@PatchCornAdams721 it is law that is the anomaly crime is natural

[shakezulathemicrulah]

Haha I love it

Its like, even if he got there in time how would he stop it? He has no arms or anything.

[Pellkot]

I would like to have a poster on my room with Alan on it! He's my hero!

[GildedtoCrash]

I'm straight...any other irrelevant comments you would like to make?

[bernierulzu]

what is your favroite color?

[LindseyyVicious]

I'm a lesbian

[piratepig100]

I'm sure that's devvo's voice.

[DEMODICK35]

no shit. its not even hard to tell

[piratepig100]

fair play

[usedfanatic1988]

yeah definetly

[Macskafogo]

Am I the only one or does anyone else think that Alan's face looks like that of Vladimir Putin?

[the0lurking0shadow]

so he never atualy saved anyone ....lol

[manu0whu1]

Damm the music gets to me still awesome 5/5

[littlemisspenguin1]

WE NEED MORE HEROS LIKE ALAN =D

[Lehearthos]

stop at the 1.31 it is mans head in the toilet. brilliant.

[mankeymunkey]

when he's in the gun shop sigur ros is playing in the background... : /

[mankeymunkey]

oh nvm it says in the credits

[illspirit1965]

huh funny that just today i got addicted to boards of canada bit offtopic yeh, david firth is indeed a genious :)

[Guilmon470]

XD Head in a toilet as one of those quick flashes.

[TheKimsho]

David Firth is a genius not recognized by many.

[itsCRACKf00]

And it's no surprise he likes Aphex Twin.

[TheKimsho]

No, def not a suprprise cuz they r grrrrrrreat....... i will eat your soul!

[Prayermad]

he's recognized by plenty

[Nopartyforme82]

@TheKimsho

What so genius about this?

[TheKimsho]

@Nopartyforme82 if you don't know i'm afraid there's no hope

[killer6468]

@TheKimsho i love his work but it disturbs me... and to be honest im quite disturbed myself

[Defenseman619]

@TheKimsho I would compare Firth to Lynch. Very dark, very... just amazing on all fronts. It's not just a creepy character or music in his cartoons... its everything. Atmosphere, surrealism... genius as you say.

[oldschoolemo93]

i'm david firth's number one fan!

[RockBirth]

Are you crazy? >:{

I AM David Firth number 1 fan.

[maandac2]

1:33-1:37 the warped Voice sounds like Luigi

[THEHADO45]

There are some pretty disturbing pics at 1:30 and 3:30 and I'm talking mutilated bodys and shit like that!

[XsnowboundX]

all of david firths videos are fucking brutal

[bassthump1111]

i had that chill song on my iPod I had no idea I would see it anywhere else

[CharlieScene667]

this cartoons reminds me of MARILYN M.'s paintings

[TheVideoCat]

david firth is a genius. He can see what others don't see

[Cransnatch]

David firth's cartoons are an acquired taste really, I like them, but there are naturally many people who don't.

[oldschoolemo93]

i liked his shit the second i saw it. AMAZING

[john1234567869]

I dont see what so fucking funny!! I mean i feel sorry for this guy.

[odogc]

there are some pretty interesting stills chopped into this video 1:45 theres some army guy 1:32 head in a toilet
