SLOW BOB's FLYING CIRCUS-S-S-s-s-s!!!

[dryice100]

this is amazing.

[wickedfeylady]

This is the most awesome thing ever.

[madahad9]

There are a multitude of reasons to dislike MTV but give them their due that at one time they had aired Liquid Television. Whereelse would see such diverse examples of animation. Slow Bob has always been a personal favorite as well as the early episodes of Aeon Flux before they gave the characters voices---a bad idea in my opinion and what made me loose interest.

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

I'm watching the MTV30 special on VH1 classic right now and they just showed this, I see "music by The Residents" and I just had to watch, it made absolutely no sense, but it was awesome

[madahad9]

I caught this the first time on the late and very lamented Liquid Television and absolutely loved it. Too bad there was never a seqel made as the ending somewhat hinted at.

[RetroToledo]

@madahad9 From what I understand, he eventually got called to work on "The Nightmare Before Christmas" so that's why he didn't pursue this one further.

[ZeroZak24]

My brain is full of fuck...

This kicks ass. X] I love the director so much.

[MsFlooPeR]

This reminds me of me and my twin sister :D always having a shushing contest.

[CatLives9]

I remember seeing this on Mtv way back in the early 90s when I was only 4-5 years old.. I didn't know what it was, but I clearly remember the animation and the twins and lizards in the attic. Nobody seems to remember this when I explain it to them, but finally I found it!

[legomyeggopls]

I bet Henrey Selick is a fan of Eraserhead, this short really reminds me of it in terms of atmosphere. Both take place in a sort of sinister dreamworld.

[catie103191]

BEST. EVER.

[seveNGus]

It has been some years that I've seen then on MTV Brazil =)) Thanks for posting... this is weird and nice! I like it! hahahah

[mngarrison]

My jaw is on the floor and I get to see him speak in Ottawa this weekend, hot damn!

[comradevodka]

Only in a truly mad world a television producer can turn this down but greenlight "The Hills" and "My Sweet Sixteenth".

[TerreLovesTivaRepeat]

I'd give you a million thumbs up for this comment if I could my friend!

[stupidopium]

That is the sanest thing Ive heard all week. You couldnt be more correct. What an insane planet we occupy.

[underserf]

Indeed, there have been SO many examples of self-indulgent twaddle in animation on the cable networks, it makes ya wonder what their point is in encouraging it >:^/

=US=

[RetroToledo]

@underserf It's more like, where does the art end and the commerce beings that orchestrates most of those decisions.

[Dimensionalhopper]

I always loved this brilliant piece! Thanks for posting this!

[solotasq]

Thanks so much for posting this; here we see the brilliance of Henry Selick in its purest form, in collaboration with The Residents no less. Was watching Coraline earlier, many parts of that film reminded me of Slow Bob. He's come a long way to get back to what he does best.

[RedIV]

a pilot for what would've been a series. Glad this shit was scrapped. It was creepy as fuck, and made NO sense.

[1acroyear1]

"Watch out." Oh, okay. I get it. Very clever.

[mradamcooley]

this is the real reason i love youtube

[TubeofDestiny]

Trippy dream, lizards, b&w photos... Perfection :D

Tim Burton didn't take the credit, THE STUPID OLD MEDIAS gave him all the credit because "Burton" was more "hype" than "Selick" !

Burton and Selick are friends, they don't give a shit about what media/people think, all they want is making good films.

Please stop saying bs about that, we're all getting sick of the "omg listen me!!1 I need attention!11 Burton is an stealer !", OLD MEDIAS ARE STUPID, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT, so enjoy or GTFO.

[Czeppelin]

Burton doesn't take the credit from Selick. Burton wrote and imagined visually TNBC (he also made the look of the characters), Selick directed it. And they are still friends.

[aaaabbbbccccghhhhhhh]

like a lucid dream in many ways I have some very trippy dreams like that

[PhyscoZombieChickie]

omg i loved it so much its so much like a dream

[HysteriaPictures]

Tim Burton is an idiot for taking all the credit for nightmare before christmas! almost 90 percent of nightmare was Selick's sweat and labor.

[dapadau]

Wow.. Very trippy.. And music by The Residents, fantastic..

[geoffryb]

fabulous

[WildHoneyPie4]

Ah, now it makes sense....I watched this once before and I thought "This makes no friggin sense....but it looks AWESOME!!" hehe Animated Slow Bob moves kinda like Jack Skellington :)

[TechnoDevotee]

i saw this as a kid :)

been wanting to see it again for sooooo long, thanks!

[slagit]

Wow I have not seen this is a few years! So cool and trippy as ever.

[keyman15]

that was really weird.

[acceptthis01]

This would make a great feature-length film. Hopefully if Coraline's a hit, the further adventures of Slow Bob could be made.

[Strideo1]

Wake up Slow Bob!

[jbphburg]

The Residents should be in the Rock 'n Roll HOF :)

[dryice100]

interesting.

[doktormeow1138]

This is SubGenius alright, it smells like a subgenius film

[RevDrFaux]

Very odd...very very "residents"...also rather "subgenius" maybe, bob?

[VodeoJMC63]

henry selick worked on the animation for tim burton's movies, "the nightmare before christmas", and "james and the giant peach".

[SukinaShinji]

Henry Selick didn't just work on the animation for those two movies. He directed them both. Nightmare before Christmas was based on a story Tim Burton came up with but he didn't have much to do with James and the Giant Peach at all. He only co-produced it. They are really Henry Selick's movies.

[NVK542]

I came here because I looked up Henry Selick and lo and behold, The Residents did the music. AWESOME

[SantaDog]

I wonder if this got picked up, would the singing Resident's voice be that of Bob's...

[batdude247]

Fucking creepy.

[Strideo1]

Awesomely weird! Weirdly awesome!

[UberMan5000]

That's pretty awesome, but it's not surprising that it didn't get picked up. When you have the awesomely bizarre Residents doing your background music, you know a series with mass appeal isn't what you're after.

[Outlander11]

and people wonder why I ended up the way I did?

[shmevman]

Hmmm. Weird. Very fitting that he's doing Coraline. His macabre style should compliment Gaiman's writing very nicely.

[VampiressLive]

this was one of my favorite shorts on L.T.

[SoylentJesus]

Eraserhead is wholesome entertaimnment.

[theledzeppguy]

The Residents did the music?! That is awesome!

[USFella]

Thanks for posting this. It's been years since I saw the whole thing.  Still wonderfully strange and surreal.

[ctdsnark]

The two-headed girl makes a cameo appearance in Nightmare Before Christmas,albeit in "shadow-that-falls-across-tomb­stone-in-opening-montage" form.

[WildHoneyPie4]

Oh! :D Great connection, I never thought of it that way! :)

[Nightshade4711]

cool! i'll have to look for that next time i see "NBC"

[luizcadu]

This movie was aired in MTV (Brazil) during the intermissions, in three parts. Real trippy

[niburu89]

did you know........ the woman who directed this skit played as an infected in I Am Legend?

[moldie13]

f*ckin' awesome... now if someone wouldn't mind pointing me to where i can see "the census taker", i'll be all set...

[necrofinger]

I have seen the census taker a few times on cable.... terrible, suburban, mundane movie and the great residents music is totally out of place. You will be very dissapointed.

[moldie13]

what's a couple hours lost out of a sleepless night to me..? hahaha

i'll reserve judgement. it couldn't be much worse than eraserhead, eh?

*shrug*

[WOMP2007]

wow is all i can say, i never thought to look but i have this on laser disc but i don't have a laser disc player. i can't even believe i finally get to see this, i've wanted to see if for about 8 years. thanks, i'm not even going to watch it right now. wow

[MephProduction]

Excellent, been trying to find this for a while..

:)

[Daskillz2paydabillz]

I only partially remember this stuff..I was usually stoned out of my mind...but some of it is coming back...some of the trippiest shit I've ever seen..

[Savagegun]

wow

[toonsis]

This was great, so was The Angry Youth...I didnt like Winter Steele

[SexVampireBite]

This is one of the most intriguing things I've seen. I really miss Liquid Television!

[addprisoner]

this is amazing! where can i buy it or download it?

[lohiau]

I was hoping that I would see this on You Tube. I haven't been able to see it or find it for years.

[UFOIST]

SENSATIONAL! I love this kind of twisted animation, I can't get enough of it. I've just watched all 8 episodes of the magical Winter Steele. What next........how about AEON FLUX?

[mstock626]

I really wish they'd put Liquid Television out on DVD. Ideally, it would include ALL the Stevie Washingtons, plus Doktor Zum, The Egg and the Snake, and Sizzlelean.

(sigh), if they see a demand they'll release it. But there probably aren't that many people who appreciate this sort of brilliance in the buying market. Let's face it. We're the elite

[Nightshade4711]

Check out my channel i have a lot of old Liquid Television stuff, The Egg and the snake and Sizzlelean not to mention a lot more :D

[zosynx]

what the hell was that???

[bebopbabe]

WOW!!!! This is GREAT!!

[ryanstrader]

great video..and i love the residents

[madsketcher]

Oh GOD, I used to have this on tape! I totally forgot about it.  This was so utterly odd/creepy/weird to me - love it!

[isayni]

Thank you for posting this. Henry Selick is a genius, I can't wait to see what he does with Coraline.

[DoctorScissors]

Oh so Selick.

[NowhereMan1966]

Great! God Bless you! I've been looking for this video for years since I first saw it on MTV's "Liquid Television."

[Blue5Clu]

This is really weird!

[furbearingbrick]

Factoid: Laika Studios used to be Will Vinton studios. Yes, THAT Will Vinton!
