They Might Be Giants -- "Where Do They Make Balloons?"

[Chaotic841]

i got this song from the movie mad world.. and that movie. is just an awesome movie. it really helps me understand why kids bring guns into school. fucking jocks aint shit

[FudgeCocoful]

@Chaotic841 same here, that taught me a lesson.

[Chaotic841]

@FudgeCocoful for sure man

[KristynFergie]

[Xfactorauditions1]

A well deserved 72 thousand views!

[brenan6]

haha this is great

[demonduck132]

I like how the "cars are from Japan" line is coupled with an American made car

[oli51]

Plebs.

[ODRodge]

That's a C- if ever I saw one

[inganeer]

Just an FYI, that was Big Ben you showed a picture of, not the Tower of London

[naturada137]

@inganeer

Oh what the fuck ever it says "London has its towers" not "London has the London Tower". It doesn't matter that much.

[smirams2]

@inganeer Hi. It's actually called St. Stephen's Tower - Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower.

[weckar]

@smirams2 Though most people make that mistake.

[woopsadaisy10]

@inganeer Big ben is the bell, the actual structure is the Great Clock Tower.

[MidnightSpeciaI]

Nice haircut, faggot. :D

[Ghostdude2]

@MidnightSpeciaI Lay off...

[Gabelsa]

When Youtube was a cool place to be

[mr1357989]

i may not know where they come from but i just looked it up on Google, they were originally animal bladders filled with water

[XxXsparklesXxXcutie]

LMFAO! That would be nice.. having animal bladders being throw at you filled with water and that someone posted it on youtube xD

[mr1357989]

Where DO balloons come originate from, England, China, WHERE!!!!!!!!

[megen1996]

bollonania

[fallingblack]

I like that you had a ford in the video when he sang "Cars are from japan".

[JeffOpon]

It's a chevy, fool.

[herbertowler]

lol

[regurgitatedlie]

What kind of school do you go to where you can make music videos about balloons for credit? o_0

[richslayerbc08]

the best school ever....thats where

[regurgitatedlie]

Wish I went there :)

[LollyPop407]

these guys are really weird and have a lot of extra timee..

[SmilezAtTheWorld]

Hmm...he kinda reminds me of what I think Edward, from the twilight series, looks like. Except the hair.

[majikboy2000]

watch "how it's made" on discovery :| :)))

[thechoochooshoe]

nice vid keep it up ^_^

[SmilezAtTheWorld]

Where DO they make balloons? where did they come from originally?

[tisaj92]

this song is just...adorable and amazing and chill at the same time. you just know that this band comes up with a song with epiphanies...AND THEN THEY PUT THEIR HARD WORK INTO IT.

great video guys.

[bubblesnbutterflys]

lolz

[mybestfrendsafrog]

awsum! poor guy getting beaten up by balloons lol

[cheesecake90000]

seriously tho.....where do they make balloons???

[FurubaYankee]

Umm...I dunno, maybe a balloon factory. XD

But hey, I could be completely wrong. they may come from Turkey, since turkies don't...Now my whole life is a lie... XD

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Were you using bluescreen or greenscreen?

[ceciliarob05]

Or a Chevy either way

[MasterP4NDA]

i like how they used a Ford for "cars are from Japan"

[ScottXC91]

It was actually a Chevy.

[pop0chas]

ye a like too, but the best part is when they use turkeys

[SPLEclipse]

i want your life-sized santa. NOW. :p

also, the girls are cute as hell. ;)

[supergooseberry]

c-c-c-c-c-creepy

[phoenixmoon3]

oh how cute!! I love this song to bits! thanks!

[qwertypluss]

Ummm my friend really loves this song, please dont see this as an affront, but what do people like about this song, cos I really don't know. Like I know its funny, singing is ok. Thats all! Sorry guys, please let me know, so I can start appreciating "real music" as my friend calls it.

[RonG40]

You like what you like, don't trust anyone who tells you what's "real"...I love TMBG and I love the song. Quirky lyrics and nice harmonies. ("Beatle-esque" maybe?) Whatever. Mozart to Mastodon, it's all good to me, but TMBG are exceptionally gifted.

[pop0chas]

a litle question

how old are you¿

[pinkpreppycutie]

i hope u got an "A"

[paper0bowser]

Awesome!!!!! I love They Might Be Giants!!!!

[bettablue1]

Thanks for posting! I can tell your family, like mine, has multi-generational TMBG fans, parents & kids! Except, I only have 1 kid, but she's very musically inclined and intelligent, and loves them as much, if not more than I do, recoginizing their uniqueness, intelligence, and humor!

[AlbinoFox]

Cars are from Japan That has got to be my favorite line. I love the video and hope to see even more in the future :D

[nivekeryas]

I love how it's an american car.

[orangeblueandlavenda]

where do they make ballons?

[corrie899]

lol great video A+ here.

[sugarbabi34]

I love this song! Cool video! <3

[robertinto17]

cool man! great idea!

[sgtpepperssalt]

Barking comes from dogs! That was an awesome video.

[BCadizzle]

turkey comes from turkeys they cant fly but they can dance

[MagicansForce]

No,no!

"Turkey's aren't from Turkey, they can't fly but they can dance."

[TeamElliot]

I hoped u aced that class!

[Iceheart54]

Ha. He got ambushed by balloons. I love this video. Best band ever.

[ImposingSnail]

Nice video, quick question though...

Why did you show The Houses of Parliament's Clocktower when it says "London has a tower"? That line's actually refering to the Tower of London.

It's a small unimportant issue, but then I'm a small unimportant person

[makoeyes7]

Ahaha! Cute!

[Wecatz]

One of the best fan videos I've seen!! Bravo!!!

[iggoramma27]

this is a really neat video!  good work!

[flytallerkin]

at the balloon factory!

[Tiggeralt]

I like how the guy is all "WTF are these balloons coming from??"

[otrapendejada]

weird and almost cool band

[Gabelsa]

this is the very first youtube video i ever saw

[ganonfan98]

Wow. Uhhh... Good first impression?

[Gabelsa]

Well... it's TMBG, so, yup

[LaynzPisces]

kawaii!

[drumminfox]

i agree ballons come from china

[kvnoble]

That was faboo! Good effort... looks like a lot of work. Toddler loved it. K

[BadgerDervy]

Errm, don't most balloons come from China, like everything does.

[didimarsh]

For some reason, I find the green screen bits really funny.

[roxyluver]

Me too xDDD

[GreenDucks]

lol, its good :P

great song made by a great band :D

[WoodchuckB]

They also make them in a factory in Wichita. I looked it up. lol. Say.... anyone else think a couple of girls in this video are kinda cute?

[whatmadeelmosnap]

if u read the balloon packages it says the following: "Made in China, along with everything else cheap and plastic/rubber-like"

[jreneesashay]

they make um n china

[jesusandknitting]

Liar ... I mean ... Konecheiwa O.o ^.^

[ashbashthrash]

made me smile - thanks.

[NoVaKaiNeProductions]

Hmm Turkeys aren't from Turkey...damn I learned alot from this video. Lol. Nicely done.

[megamastersinge]

good question

[tomharding]

Nicely done, sir.

[griffithstoby64]

are you scared of balloons or smoething? you look petrified!

[DarkHumorProductions]

I like how during the chorus the first time you just sit there and more and more balloons fly on you<3

Good job. Made me giggle. XD

[kb1686]

i really don't know why.. but i like this. nice.

[gothicducks]

I love this song. TMBG rocks!

[evilsmileyface666]

Where the Hell do they make balloons?!

[repku]

Circusland

[evilsmileyface666]

Probably.

[repku]

..The continent.

[repku]

Shoot.. evilsmilyface666's comment came in between the two comments I meant to include as one.. I wish my hand wouldn't slip like that.

[bellpei]

In the first few seconds I thought I'd be disappointed by the amatuerish style but you really made it work for you. You made low budget a style fitting to a good time which works with the song. Nice Job.

[WoodchuckB]

That video is the feelgood hit of the year.

[gamejunkie323]

W00t!!

[emilyisthesex]

woo i <3this song and this is an awsome vid lol!

[jsd23]

That was quite brilliant, surreal enough to match They Might Be Giants, IMO!

The WTC was shown, and your camera uses 'tape' - is this an old video then?

[Dropkicktims]

The video was made in 2004. Its green-screened... And filmed on mini-DV tape.

[e199sigma]

_ ? _  _

[ChristieQ]

EXCELLENT job! I really enjoyed that. Very cute.

[Darktheraii]

...Santa?

[Ronndawabbit]

what ugly hair. but the video's impressive.

[poopyhead25]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[tristheninjapirate]

very good!

[shammytat]

how many balloons did you blow up for this video?! lol

[ShowJumperVet]

You guys are my new best friends!

[lenskap]

Nice video, but I still don't know wher they make balloons. Probably China. ;)

[PrawnRR]

Nicely done.

[CORNSiLK]

Cute video, I especially liked the balloon fight at the end :)

[IncB]

Someone above commented on the slightly second rate look of this video, but I think that just makes it better. What are TMBG but oddly second rate? Awesome video!

[kimberoonie]

great video..... only thing i'll say as a proud Brit is that the tower they're referring to is the Tower of London not Big Ben

[scottandrewhutchins]

Pretty decent for a video made by kids.

[patinthehat]

Good ideas, but you need to practice where your eyes are looking, and not talk while you are shooting. Maybe even lipsynch.

Good Luck on your next video.

Good taste in music though.

[Iggeh]

Whoo! Much luff for TMBG.

I really like the opening shot, as well as the chorus.
