The Residents - One-Minute Movies

[oasisstereo1402]

First time listening to this band.... should I be scared?

[Jcolinsol]

1:45 masonic symbolism.

[gustavomolo]

Yeah..You should..!



[nightflyer1]

I feel like I should've taken acid prior to watching this to get the proper intended effect...

[SheriffOfaloaf]

What in the fuck.

[om3g4z3r0]

i watched the whole video ... when does the music start ?

[Flyssi]

@om3g4z3r0 ¬¬

[Elpeligrito]

Shouldn't the No Label guys be purple, and not orange?

[crazy19P]

what you see is what you get, people complaining about vevo or comercials are dumb retards

[Hamgammy]

these guys suck. being weird is great, being weird for the sake of being weird is just....ugh.

[pookievision]

@Hamgammy No Residents no Les Claypool....enuf said !

[IlFabbricanteDiFumo]

@pookievision No he's right, these guys sucks as much as Primus *wink*

[BenStillHur]

@Hamgammy fuck you

[nobodywilltink]

@Hamgammy Would you care to elaborate on that? What kind of weirdness is good in your book? Personally I think The Residents are the best kind of weirdness. Totally surreal and unpretentious.

[SirVladHarkonen]

@Hamgammy you are a fucking idiot

[TheFreeCoders]

R.I.P. 4:32

[t720745]

Whatever they took while making this, I'll take 2 of that...

[speaker3600]

my adblock isn't working wtf

[theoriginal72]

Jeff Goldblum's first role at 0:43.

[MegaCirse]

The Residents, formation cultissime !? Oui me semble t-il, quatre individus au génie grotesque : son dépouillé, chants psalmodiés haut perchés, voix de dessins animés, coups de klaxons et riffs de foire

[xBillyTheKidx]

not sure what i just watched/listened to, here.......

[rob16248]

I can't wait to go to bed and enjoy some lovely nightmares.

[MrluKetodj]

Horrible!!!!

[nalkurd]

On the back of the CD of this album, it says, "repeat any song on this album 3 times to make a pop song." hahahahahaha

[otacon17x]

Whoa, i just now realized that the guy in Perfect Love is watching Vileness Fats

on the TV

[ERICARTMAN92]

I'm glad I decided to eat my brownies, After I watched this.

[AcidAction]

vevo? the residents and vevo? THE RESIDENTS AND VEVO!!!!!!!!???

[Dillbob1]

@AcidAction this isnt vevo

[LDK47]

@AcidAction We're all VEVO.

[cinephilefromhell]

@LDK47 "We'll play forever and ever and ever..."

[theoriginal72]

@LDK47

Are we not men?!

[25zeppelins]

@AcidAction AND IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT???????

[workingtools]

ALWAYS amazing! Got to see them in the City (Mabuhay?) in 1975, after seeing them on VideoWest (does anyone remember that show?) :-)

[Gmonkey500]

@workingtools damn i wasn't even alive then so jealous. haha

[thebigdiegowski]

This is so fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zathusura78910]

I swear, if i ever meet a girl that keeps live snails in her purse ill marry her.

[FaMeTroll]

This shit is just underground enough for a hipster like me. Just wait for all the mainstream conformists to come along and ruin this song.

[grahamlaur]

@FaMeTroll I'm not defending mainstream conformists, but hipsters ruin a lot too. Anyone who listens to music for reasons other than that they love music threatens to ruin it.

[ROBERTyay]

And the commercials!! 

[Bram25]

The irony is amazing. They are songs from the Commercial Album, you need to sit through commercials. Full circle works! AWESOME!

[MoonCrashed]

What the hell are vevo ads doing plastered all over Residents greatness? Vevo related crap is the last thing I think of with something involving creativity and artistic expression.

[Quantumphysic]

is this Les Claypoole??

[HeathenaBot]

@Quantumphysic

Nope.

[rhombusskullvsteal]

the residents fucking suck, gayest band ever. explain to me how they have any talent, or why it's cool to look for the dark aspect of humanity. so uninteligent.

[synthem]

@rhombusskullvsteal well, if you say that a band is "uninteligent" and then actually misspell that very word, then the bulk of irony waiting at your doorstep will be doing the explaining you ask for.

[rhombusskullvsteal]

@synthem I wouldn't take time to bother worrying about correct grammar and spelling on youtube, considering it bares no relation to the message I'm putting out. on the other hand, this band did influence bands like primus and many many others, so they aren't all that bad. I guess I just didn't like the sound at first. I have a history of later liking things I at first dismiss, so idk.

[synthem]

@rhombusskullvsteal well, thanks for that nuanced comment. i quite disliked the way you voiced your original opinion (not your opinion itself), so thanks for setting things straight. you don't have to like anything in my opinion, i just found fault with the way you put things. glad you replied so politely. cheers!

[jesse41993]

@rhombusskullvsteal I believe this should clear some things up for you next time you make a comment /watch?v=0la5DBtOVNI

[rhombusskullvsteal]

@jesse41993 what's that

[musamoloch]

The voice sounds like Bobby Pickett singin' Monster Mash

[PONWEEMAN]

fuck vevo

[Vulca81]

hé ho l'industrie du disque . avec sa faut pas pleurer

non mais merde quoi on se moque de qui bordel

[sabalouie2000]

THIS IS NON COMMERCIAL MUSIC...KILL THE COMMERCIALS!!! stinkin normality.

[Jaildale]

That first song sounds like an Atari game...

[SeafloorReunion]

399? Am I 399, or am I 400? You know, the next one

[br00k39]

just saw these guys on their talking light tour. It was fucking amazing!

[creatornat]

I never noticed the man in the hazmat suit turning the pig before!

These are some of my favorite Rez songs by far. :) Love these videos.

[papagrateful]

a comment read me!

read a blank

[SatansBitchIsGod]

I am a kid. And I love the residents. They create the weirdest crap, but thats what makes them so good. THEY ARE ORIGINAL!!!!

[Ninjistic]

@SatansBitchIsGod faggot

[Theblogger96]

@Ninjistic Agreed.

[randomeditor]

thats my mom in the spacesuit with the pig!

[slowgtstang03]

only 13 dislikes really, i just wasted 4 and half minutes for something this fn stupid

[Goredosama]

@slowgtstang03 your brain is full of shit XD

[3lt3ponz3r]

@slowgtstang03 I see this is too deep for you

[MrManueleh]

Love is strange. The only constant is change  Always and forever and never again. Seeking the begining and finding the end.

[kathberry8]

I have no education and no training- a clean slate, you might say...that is why I know I could do stuff just as dumb...and that is how come I know it's just stupid.....

[666satan666himself]

ive recently discovered the residents so im still trying to understand their songs lol does anyone know what moisture is about i think i get the act of being polite and perefect love but i have no idea of the meaning of moisture lol

[geezerbill]

@666satan666himself, actually I try NOT to understand Residents songs! But my own interpretation of "Moisture" was that the description in the first verse sounded rather sexy, whereas the second verse reveals they were describing a corpse. Of course, I could be reading way too much into nothing, and/or be completely off.

[6Jupiters]

Como de costumbre en esas fechas, simplemente importante, sumamente importante.

La grotesca, aburrida y oscura decada de los 80 que me toco vivir, dio frutos indiscutibles como Divine, John Waters o en este hermoso caso: Los Residentes

[miceskin]

Oh man, One day when I am old I will look back on this memory and wonder if it actually happened. . . .

[r1cksd]

clock-work orange?

[Earthling100101011]

@r1cksd that movie is awesome



[MenNoHorses]

MEN NO HORSES

[MenNoHorses]

MEN NO HORSES

[tatunkha]

Wow, these guys are out there & brilliant for it. Plenty to think about & very very funny to boot.

[RabidWaffles]

3rd video is me irl.

[gorepoliceguy]

amazing

[conewells]

Oh, these ANNOYING commercials you have to sit through first.....

[Arorndulia]

@conewells abp

[theoriginal72]

@conewells

AdBlock.

[drabboo]

Looks like the mucinex commercial at first

[xf3n1x]

Já assisti a muitos videoclipes na minha vida, mas poucos se igualam a esse em originalidade! Um clássico!

[scbjgs]

nightmares

[DIMLOADER]

The very worst think about The Residents is they know where YOU live !!

[MenNoHorses]

MEN NO HORSES

[XSickPeach]

J'en ai des frissons <3

Magic !

[Viz731]

I an down right disturbed...I need to go curl up in a sock drawer....and sleep....for days....he-help me-e-ee...

[renerook]

I don't understand what you all are talking about, the video seemed totally normal to me.

[lcmb84]

this is simple!

[regenesisable]

Very weird, very best, the

[benjaminopie]

said it before, say it again: best music video ever. never to be topped.

[ElvenTigeress]

Mind fuck, pure and simple. I feel like I need to go detox my brain...but in a strangely good way...I think.

[thepassion10]

Would that be before or after they let you out of Prison and unchained you from the Chair. Mr Horror. You seem to have gotten your metaphors in a twist.

[expoonation]

Hahaha, in the 3rd song (perfect love), the TV is playing their unfinished movie Vileness Fats :D

[TheHorrorAnthem]

If watching this on repeat over and over and over while chained to a chair was a prison sentence...I think I would go commit murder. No..no...I know! I would go commit murder.

[acidflock]

my brother has talked to them there friends they gave him the name berkley sharpness

[odujejnas]

すばらしい！コマーシャルアルバム全曲分の映像は無いんですか？­是非観たい！

[mrfnknowitall]

yes!! this gives me the best "acid flash backs"...now can someone direct me to the windmills?

[eeyore1895]

What is that?

[CleansWithRag]

@eeyore1895

The Residents.

[upongod]

ill kick everyone ass if i see anyone with a the residents t-shirt on them copy and past this :p

[herp3]

on acid? thats the best time to watch it, the first time i saw this stuff and the other Residents videos i was like 18 tripping hard with my best friend late at night, i couldnt grasp what the hell i was seeing. but knew i liked it

[Gmancrap]

Don't be an idiot. Just because you are on drugs doesn't make any thing better. You will probably just get bored and find something else to do. 

[virlennenklein]

Exceptionnel, merveilleux: à voir et entendre les Residents, on se sentirait presque

anormaux d'être normaux!!!! et c'est très agréable.

[MsNudeli]

its really cool!!!

[ALXXMaXX]

Heh. I think I'm finally starting to understand the Residents....

If you have a crush on someone and they leave you somehow before you get to know them very well, your mind romanticizes them and makes them seem perfect--while actually they are just another imperfect human. Even if you do get to know someone well and they "get away"--e.g. die (possibly like the love of the man in the video), you tend to only remember their good parts.

"The only really perfect love is one that gets away."

[frizzlefry420oh]

@ALXXMaXX well said.

[FlightlessCoyote]

@ALXXMaXX

You're onto something.

[DontBeAPussy1]

@ALXXMaXX genious

[DuckVader64]

i like it:D

[Bram25]

The best decoration for your fishbowl:

The Residents!

[subbassmusic]

Messed up but brilliant



[hendrixbk]

cara naum tem base isso dai =/

como assim, trem de loko *-*

ñintendo D:

[NissanDriver15]

I watched this on full-screen mode and when it ended, I was given the option to "respond". I did not choose this option because I can honestly say I do not know how to respond to this.

[JonathanBones]

I followed a link here and have no understanding of what this is. I think I like it though.

*favourites*

[kikimito]

cómo es posible que no les guste?? ANORMALES!!  THE RESIDENTS RULES!! OBEEY!! (mmm... con este video se me antojó pulpo al ajiyo...)

[AndyKrone1]

we're having a little Residents party over here..thought you might like to join in!

[madahad9]

I got turned on to The Residents way back in the 80s when I used to watch Night Flight on the USA Network. I love how the music and images just get under my skin and make me feel weird without the need of drugs.

[TheLordSantiva]

This music video is a good supply of daily Acid.Remember Kids.Acid makes you want to watch the Residents!

[DeathShok]

lol this music makes me laugh..but i can't really say i like it

[MysteriousDrF]

All hail the guitarist at 0:45!

[Conkern65]

The animation remind's me of Pink floyd the wall

[BIGSOULMAN1]

Genius

[SK8wormtown]

@BIGSOULMAN1 wat are you fucking high? i could write a song like this if i did enough shrooms

[BIGSOULMAN1]

@SK8wormtown

yuk yuk, cool out bro :)

[ReferenceStudios]

@SK8wormtown no you cant because you have to have imagination or talent to do this fag

[ZizziHorrorshow]

Wow. That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen

[stomachlining]

the Residents .... a mailing address....to the strange of truth

[JustOneMeatPuppet]

I sometimes find people who listen to this music just to be cool. How can they live with themselves? The Residents are meant to be truly cherished, not name-dropped at a party to impress the snobby crowd!

[skinnydoggyz]

@JustOneMeatPuppet i think people who like the residents understand their artistic viewpoint, and artistic people are generally more interesting as opposed to snooty women and professional athletes

[JustOneMeatPuppet]

@skinnydoggyz That is the case, yes, but what I am usually experiencing is something like this:

Person: "Bla bla bla bla Frank Zappa bla bla!"

Me: "Ah, Frank Zappa? What's your favorite album?

Person: "Oh, no, I just have "Peaches on Regalia" on my Ipod"

So my real problem is people bragging about music when they only *know of* the artist in question, just to look good

[ZappaOwnsYourFace93]

@JustOneMeatPuppet hahaha thats true. then you'd have to be like what album is that from?? then they'd be like idk. juss got it off limewire. RIP Frank!!

[crazyedd123]

i think that once you listen to enough of this type of music it becomes easier to listen to. avant-garde is a great genre and more musicians need to explore it (whatever it is)

[Ajzu1985]

posrańcy

[LiamAndJackWhut]

Their songs are fuckin' freaky and make no sense to me... but so hard not to watch o_O AGAIN AND AGAIN

[carcinomatoide]

que tema mas terrible...los residentes son lo mejor!!!!!!!!!!

[rhinohouse]

Mommy, make it stop!

[jcdx22]

@sostav If I had to guess, you searched for "The Third Reich" and got a Residents video, thinking it was a neo-nazi outfit, you started looking for more things about nazis to learn how to exterminate people? Is this correct? Seeing as being Jewish is such a bad thing to you.

[forthelulz87]

@jcdx22

If you're jewish and you know it, clap your hands.

[RantVideoPhone]

@sostav This is so far beyond your narrow world view that you will never understand. And this was made 30 years ago. You might as well give up now and go live in a cave.

[benjaminopie]

The best music video ever. Created before music videos were music videos. I saw it in a club at a Snakefinger gig in 1982. Was blown away then and I don't think anything, except possibly the Renaldo and the Loaf video, comes close even today.

[rossarooney]

@benjaminopie I had showed these clips at Luis La Bamba's in Portland in '82.

[shootitup21]

@benjaminopie what to you makes it so fantastic.

[ToaGeckon11]

@shootitup21 because its not mainstream crap its unique and different from the normal stuff that's so generic now its just very interesting and fun to listen to that's what so good about the residents

[benjaminopie]

@shootitup21 1. I like the songs, the Residents were never this good after this. 2. I think they're funny. 3. It looks great. 3b. it looks great on an extremely limited budget. 4. It's very well paced, it's really good filmmaking in general. I hate most music videos because I think they're terrible filmmaking. This came before MTV, before the conventions of music videos became codified. I'd rather watch this than Michael Jackson's $7,000,000 "Scream" video any day.

[Alma889900]

I luv u RESIDENTS =}

[forthelulz87]

god damn it.

I should not have watched that while on acid.

[JackZeee]

@forthelulz87 LMFAo

[brandito1527]

@forthelulz87 I know what you mean....I started crying because I thought the eyeball dude was coming out of the fucking screen. I threw up and now I owe my buddy a new laptop....

[staunchy]

@forthelulz87 what, the annoying advertisement at the beginning??

[MrNobody425]

@forthelulz87 You kidding? That's when it's best.

[Lespapillons]

@forthelulz87 understable :)

[esca8652]

@forthelulz87 This'd be GREAT on acid! IMO

[Fatmanor]

What??

[Snoogans6669689]

Though all of these short videos shares a place in my heart, The Simple Song is my favorite. If not just for the message, cause it's fucking funny.

[neeltjeloserkid]

RESIDENTS FTW!

[glitchesandglitter]

"so this is rock n' roll! I like it."

[bloodrot123]

i love theas guys

[JedChrizt]

so trippy

[StrawberrySunshine34]

I don't understand what this is.....can someone please explain...it's kinda creepy!

[geezerbill]

>>I don't understand what this is.....

>>can someone please explain

The Residents (the anonymous band disguised here in their trademark eyeball masks) had an album in 1980 called "The Commercial Album". It consisted of 40 songs, each exactly one minute long. They took 4 of those songs to make this music video.

If you like their "creepy" sound, search YouTube for their "Hello Skinny" video. Also check out their website, Residents (dot) com.

[bandersentv]

@StrawberrySunshine34 The residents made a

'commercial' album when all the songs were about 1 minute long. these made trippy videos for some of them.

[forthelulz87]

@StrawberrySunshine34

smoke weed err day

[TheRealFrostJoker]

fantastic!

[silentx9]

i saw them live yesterday and i got a shirt from there i'll show it in a video responce

[the1whoSeesAll]

So this is avant garde.

[fraterlucifer888]
