The Curse

[001just4fun]

argh! noo!!!!!!!!!! damn it!

[FromUnderTheRock]

@001just4fun

yes...we all know this scene

[somedevil6868]

I was going through all your videos for the second time and stumbled across this one... right before stepping out the door to go to work. I think it's a sign, or maybe just bad timing. Either way I need to quit my job.

[FromUnderTheRock]

@somedevil6868

being unemployed is the new black

[somedevil6868]

@FromUnderTheRock I'm a big guy, so naturally, black looks good on me.

[DanOlooney]

do you need a laxitive or you inhaler, this would be great for you resume

[DanOlooney]

do you need a laxitive or you inhaler

[XXXPopeBenedictXVI]

That was most definitely worth watching.

[droidwarf]

Tomorow i have a job interview. So right now i have to shave my beard and prepare my suit for tomorow. Suks, but i kinda need the money to. But i'm just at the begining so i can dream i will be this sf writer that can sleep on sidewalks and smoke tigarets thinking about his next novel.

[cheesestr4wz]

Genesis 3 : 17- 19 epic !

[RyanXHavok]

this is how every monday morning feels

[001just4fun]

And I still laugh Buck..lol

[TeeAreify]

Such a great idea. Such a great video.

[BETonthisHORSE]

Buck, I honestly can't say enough about this piece. Seriously. 0scar worthy.

[benzone50]

This is so damn bloody good! On so many levels!

[BETonthisHORSE]

@benzone50 yes yes yes yes yes. this may be the single best video i've seen during my time on the interneck.

[BETonthisHORSE]

PURE. GOLD. *standing ovation

[justanovice]

Bob. Fucking. Deniro.

[CurrentlyDisconected]

wow i used to break out into a green double breasted myself tough times.

[missanthropic01]

W.o.r.k is a four letter word.

[megalisstudio]

dude---i hear ya- nicely said.

[prodigalfletch25]

Whattup Buck.?.? Huge fan of yours.  Any tips on my latest vid "P.C. is for Gaytards" would be awesome. latr man.

[xdsk0x]

good little short man .. fav'd it :D

[UrbanNinjaSociety]

[kidblood1]

timmy knows how to pick em,kewl vid

[MrTalgon]

FUCKS YEAH LETS KICK OUT THE MOTHER FUCKING JAMS!!!!!!1 nice vid by the way ^.^

[MSWmson]

Got up, got outta bed / dragged a comb across my head, etc. Nice day-in-the-life crank-up. Know the feeling.

[squirrly001]

haha you turned into one of them "Snakes in suits" ( interesting book)

[1111starseed1111]

That was the best video I've seen on youtube! Kudos!

[jujutubes]

Fucking Brilliant!

[SUBCOOLMUSIC]

fucking awsome

[irezumi]

Jobs are for suckers.

[DragonHeartMetal]

probably the best video on youtube =P

[PerennialLucidity]

RAD TIMES. 5*'ed.

[NUMBLIFEUSA]

awesome! somebody is not a morning person. great video

[Triozex]

Great video man :-)

[yellowdogger]

man ya hit the nail on the head there with this video.

[NiiObilite]

HAHA Nice,I think many of us can seriously relate to this video whether it's getting up for work, or in my case, school....Awesome video!!!!

[FromUnderTheRock]

yah...it's a universal theme....no one wants to don the monkey suit and dance for The Man.

[DominoGray]

1. What the hell happened to your trees! I live in Toronto, Canada, so I've never really experienced something like that, living in tundra as we do. Is that a windvalley or something?

2. Sorry dude, but that is a great looking suit.

[FromUnderTheRock]

The trees? They just look like regular ole trees to me....maybe a little gnarly. But I've neverf been to Toronto. I spent a short stint living up above the arctic circle....the trees there were pretty sad...they look like toothpicks leaning in the wind.

[robin9993]

looool xD

[garooziz]

Amizingly good for a completely independent short-film... and you totally made my day =D

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks for checking it out...we had a good time trying to be a little creative with the editing.

[motimuatit]

I feel your pain ...lol ... you look very handsome after all ... and your house is pretty ...

[bigbadpur3]

Haha I waited 3 minutes just to get to the "point" and it was worth it :D

PS Cut down on those brain washing roman letters, they're EVIL

[mvoir33]

Just get to work already..lol you look cute all groomed up. I enjoy working but only on work I enjoy.

[FromUnderTheRock]

I look like I'm ready to balance some figures....

Blaaaagth....

I think an indicator for an enjoyable job is whether or not you can choose the type shoes you want to wear.

[mvoir33]

for me it's the clothes... :D

[MSWmson]

Damned spot-on and very funny. Thanks.

[Racefreak1976]

Damn! You're my new hero! Btw. that's a pretty decent place you got there. ;)

Take care

[FromUnderTheRock]

Luckily, Camera Girl Lisa B has a very strong work ethic.

[Racefreak1976]

Art is also work, it's just the salary that sucks. ;)

[skbjbb]

That was absolutely perfect! Very well done!

[MiraFilth]

This video made my day :D.

[ShadeC4]

XD That was awesome. =) As for me... Well... I'm on disability due to mental stuff... So I don't work. Period. >_>; But I guess that's for the better. :| Boring, though... That's for sure. =.=

Did have a job once... But I couldn't handle it and all. High school never ends... And a work environment is too full of that crap. :|

[deathclaw700]

until the shirt appeared on your body i wasn't quite sure what this video was about. But then it all made sense. too true, but it is a curse we must all live with...well most of us. Nice vid. 5/5

[FromUnderTheRock]

It would have been truly horrifying if the shirt hadn't appeared...

Thanks for the 5/5!

[EvesUnderground]

lmfao...suits suck...would have been funny too if you had been sucked inside a church..almost thought that was were you were headed =]

[FromUnderTheRock]

Ha! I'm going to have to scout some locations!

[manpower125]

i hate work dude but you were lookin pretty sharp

[FromUnderTheRock]

I think I've worn that outfit twice this year...and one of the times was for the video, so that's pretty good.

[manpower125]

yea im have to wear this rotc uniform...

[kasmanbasman]

Hahah,, i couldn't have put it better:D

[ryanward87]

Oh man this is genius!

[CountChupulla]

scariest short film i have ever seen.

[FromUnderTheRock]

the scariest part is....that it could happen to YOU!

[somedevil6868]

yeah screw work!

[yurdamannowdog]

This was pretty good. I think you could cut a minute and a half off of it though. I like your tortured faces etc, but once the viewer kind of knows what's going on you should have sped things up to the climax.

[g15059]

i enjoyed the vid. the discription kinda gave it away though. very enjoyable other than that.

[alwaysaswish]

This was an alright video... I think it took a little to long to actually make it to his point... Like an overly exagurated scene... To the extent of quentin tarentino film is a bit to far... And not to be profiling lol which i am going to do... but find a younger actor maybe? just food for thought... Other than that the video did make me want to keep watching till i found out where it was going so in the end I have to say.... Good Video I liked it...

[FromUnderTheRock]

I'm trying to make myself younger, but the damn donuts are getting in the way. Maybe I need to try a new moisturizer...

[alwaysaswish]

haha... You know i have to admit that I am glad you could be understanding with my comment lol... It is good and frankly the whole way you did look like your growing younger throughout the video...

[craine40]

Bad breath.

[BeatDownReligion]

That was totally Sergio Leone man! It had that slightly crazed, over the top look, with some great overacting. At first I thought you were going to just see if your car was in the driveway after a night of debauchery, but it was even funnier than that. Nice one man, I got some real laughs out of that.

[FromUnderTheRock]

hey thanks...love this comment...and I love Sergio Leone (of course)....It might have been the banging guitar notes in the beginning that lent a spaghettiesque air to the thing...thanks for taking a look.

[BeatDownReligion]

Keep up the good work. There's a lot of crap on this site, and it's great to find an occasional diamond in the turd pile.

[StabbedlnTheKunt6I6]

You look more like an insane killer having a nervous breakdown. I thought you were gonna be wearing eyeliner and crying about your parents. Lol.

[StabbedlnTheKunt6I6]

Oh wait somehow i clicked on your oldest emo video and this came up. Never mind then this video is accurate to the description.

[davism97]

I go through this every morning ... sigh.

[ryanjfitz]

Why was I reminded of Pulp Fiction, or a Quentin Tarentino film while watching this? :)

[001just4fun]

Man, today was one of these days, I love this vid so much!!

[FromUnderTheRock]

Hopefully tomorrow morning will start out a little better :^)

[porridgeeveryday]

find that giutarist and smash his guitar to smithereens; he wont play that guitar no more and ruin your beauty sleep, i can assure you of that.

[FromUnderTheRock]

Cut me some slack, man....I've only been playing for a decade. You should hear me strum "morning has broken".

My version is soooo moving;  it literally brings tears to people's eyes.

[001just4fun]

My god I hope so too! LOL

I think Cyber was right. This vid is definitely award worthy for sure!

[SarahTheBaker]

LMAO at the beginning I was like "wtf is going on" then when I saw the suit and tie....I fucking lost it. Mad funny.

[EpifanesEuergetes]

What an accurate portrayal of the horror of a workday morning...

I've never had a job I liked. Not that all my jobs were particularly horrible, I just fucking hate to work. Eight hours of tediousness five days a week is just not what I call living.

[mrlowdangle]

fuck working for a living,theres others ways

rat race is for suckers,and i'll avoid it as long as i possibly can,even if it means putting up with that 'when are you gonna be a real person and get a job and get married?' look and tone of voice..im too stubborn to just give in to their bullshit,for now:)

[FromUnderTheRock]

I like how you say "for now"...

I think we're in the same camp.

[NinjaNumbat]

Here's my thought...

You're a pretty strange guy.

But it's the only way to be, right? Ha ha

Good job.

[FromUnderTheRock]

I had that same exact thought...

[popebenadict16]

thats funny man.

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks for sittin' through it. I write poetry and a novel here and there.  Most of my vids are reworkings of poems I perform at open mics.

[TheAncientWolf]

Excellent video and great idea :-) You made my laugh, thank you :-)

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks---I was inspired by real life experience, unfortunately.

[TheAncientWolf]

I can imagine... I am a student, but I can tell you, I hate to wake up and go to school at 5:45 am :-) But again, great idea :-) I will share this with my other "cursed" friends :-)

[SarahLately]

I have to admit I fast forwarded after the first minute. It was starting to sound like a really bad porno. haha

I liked it though.. :)

[FromUnderTheRock]

I hope you didn't miss the secret clue to the GRAND PRIZE. ---and someone else also mentioned a certain obscene nature to the sound--I have to admit, without the video, the soundtrack does sound a little distasteful.

[SarahLately]

I missed it.

[snaps fingers]

[Veronica4u2day]

I love it. And i love your look and your just as crazy" as i am :)))))))

Love

Veronica

[FromUnderTheRock]

Crazy=Special (that's what we crazies say, yes?)

[chrisnatti]

AWESOME!! So funny!

I'm subbing now.

[FromUnderTheRock]

glad you liked it---we had a blast putting it together--thanks for taking a look and subbing for more.

[Kaichita]

you're crazy.

[LoandaX3]

I laughed most at it was a response to "SICK OF TWILIGHT & SUSAN BOYLE!!! "

[sectoidcorpse]

lucky for me my job is sitting at work watching your videos. btw 5star

[fani5000]

Genius!!

[CupahNoodles]

Wow. The protagonist is an epic failure. haha

[FromUnderTheRock]

5 days a week---50 weeks a year....but only 49 weeks a year after 3 years.

[Nocturnuz]

Excellent :)

[FromUnderTheRock]

I can't not think of Wayne's World when I see that word, but it's still a very nice word. Thanks.

[I2itWELL]

You are well on your way to the top, Buck! Your acting skills are exceptional, and I truly think that your site should be based on your comedic short, yet funny videos. You could still throw in a blog from time to time. 5 STARS!

[FromUnderTheRock]

Hey...I appreciate it. I love making the "shorts". I'm hoping to get Lisa B. behind the camera some more in the near future---she does such a great job with the the little low-tech camera we're working with.

[g1Chase357]

Hilarious!

You've made a subscriber out of me.

[Rh1no1]

More than 4 minutes of WTF

[FromUnderTheRock]

wonderfully transcendent filmmaking?

I'd say watching the frogs, but I actually edited out all of the frog parts.

[bobsagi]

That was hilarious and very clever.

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks for taking a look...

[superchang847]

awesome

[001just4fun]

OMG, I so understand!!! LOL

Too funny man!!!!

[FromUnderTheRock]

Everyone gets the monday morning blahs now and then...if memory serves me right.

[001just4fun]

oh yes, and the damn Tuesday and the fawking Wednesday after that, etc...LOL

This vid was perfect. You totally looked like how I feel before going in to work. :)

[Erago575]

Its one of those days

[BuzzcutsFTW]

LOL wolfman in reverse

[FromUnderTheRock]

Yeah...we actually wanted to film this vid a few weeks ago, but I kept shaving for various reasons and couldn't seem to get into an appropriately scruffy state to start.

[Erago575]

How old r u?

[FromUnderTheRock]

I like to think of myself as timeless, but my drivers license reads forty-something...crazy license.

[jfeuiebf]

job=shit,

[FromUnderTheRock]

As someone who has held several custodial positions, I know this to be very true.

[linsplace]

you will always last longer and do a better job IF you enjoy what you do for a living... I have been a private caregiver for 21 years love what I do BUT the downside if any is when they pass away because you get extremely close over the years and it is like losing a spouse or one of your children but wouldn't trade my life with the richest because the greatest treasure is that bond and love that will never die=...)

[FromUnderTheRock]

The people you work with can make all the difference.

They say that if you find something you love and do and do it everyday, then you'll never have to work again. They say a lot of other stuff too, then slap a cover on it and sell it in the Selp-Help section. But I'm pretty sure that everything we need to know can be found in a Hallmark card.

[hamburglerz77]

That was great. Keep up the good work.

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks for the fav...

[hamburglerz77]

This captures perfectly how I feel everyday I get ready for work. This to me is art.

[Lukag121]

Dr. Redbuck and Mr. Seam Bowler... Nice transformation, good pace. I like it!

[FromUnderTheRock]

I started out with a rough cut around nine minutes long, and got it down to 4:38...it seems that the more I cut out, the better the vid gets. I could look at that two different ways, I guess.

[JamesCalico]

lol... I wish i had words for this... but you put it so well.... I don't have any

[FromUnderTheRock]

I didn't have much words for it myself....I thought about adding more dialogue, but the grunting, moaning, and screaming seemed to suffice. There are only 14 words in the the entire bit. Thanks for watching.

[Brainiac1056]

If I could I would still be a removal man but the body said no after five years and I had to resort to journalism.

Removal jobs can be heavy but in the right group of people it´s fun every day AND you get to meet a lot of different people wich is why I started as a journalist.

[FromUnderTheRock]

"...had to resort to journalism" --I like that. And I'm not sure what a "removal man" is, but it sounds kind of ominous.

And I definitely understand the body saying "no". I've done a lot of seasonal resort work, and love it. I'd like to do more in the future---visit some more cool locales---but my body might have something else to say about that.

[Eyepix65]

5 stars...sub...love my job too.

[FromUnderTheRock]

You seem to have a heap of musical equipment...so I bet you DO have a pretty fun job.

[Eyepix65]

We have fun jammin' in the studio... I work in healthcare. Great idea for this vid...keep it up.

[000theUnforgiven000]

where do you live?

[FromUnderTheRock]

I've lived a ton of places and hope to live in many more. At the moment I'm stuck in rural USA, but my goal is to get back to New Orleans, Seattle, Miami, Portland...somewhere with sidewalks where one can just walk out the door, walk across the street, and find a decent cup of coffee. And maybe a white russian in the afternoon.

[000theUnforgiven000]

:D good luck with that ^^

[Brainiac1056]

Ha ha ha! Great video idea.

You creeped med out at 0:40, when you turn from the window. :)

A little "what are you doing with that bat Jack?" From The Shining. :)

[FromUnderTheRock]

yeah...I was very happy with that shot...Lisa B did a terrific job with the camera, which is a sony cyber-shot the size of a deck of cards.

[a7xtiger]

i love you videos man!! this one made me laugh, simply because i related in such a way, that it really used to feel that way for me, when i worked in a mundane office full of A holes!

Now, i dont mind goin to work! :)

i think im going to start making your vids a regular thing on my facebook! i think alot of my friends would enjoy your vids too! :)

xo

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks...I haven't had a drone job in a while, but the memories are too strong. With this vid, I was thinking of Monday mornings after a nice weekend, how you wake up, look at the clock, and realize that the fun is over.

[jakluk4]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

hahahahaha

so brilliant! wow!

[FromUnderTheRock]

Fantastic in capps--I like that :^)

Thanks.

[darkandavid]

Great video I really liked it. I guess I'm lucky I don't have to wear a suit when I go to work. I would rather be a basketball player in the NBA or pro. poker player though

[FromUnderTheRock]

Thanks---and I'm with you on the pro poker thing...I love casinos...or do I just love places where you can order steak and eggs 24/7?

[ZMoulton]

Fantastic, bravo!

[FromUnderTheRock]

Ta!

Do y'all say "ta" down there?

(I'm pretty sure you don't say "y'all")

[ZMoulton]

Um...I have heard Ta from time to time but Y'all is never heard.

[onewomanandsomesongs]

For a true transformation at the end of your video, you need to cut your hair like Donald Rumsfeld.

[FromUnderTheRock]

That's actually a very good idea....I wish I had thought of it while making the vid. I carry a photo of Mr. Rumsfeld in my wallet, so it would have been easy to model the look.

[onewomanandsomesongs]

@FromUnderTheRock

Doesn't everyone carry a picture of Mr. Rumsfeld in their wallet? Such a great humanitarian and protector of the human race, that one. :)

[Starlababy]

That's how I feel, on pms week, then I thought you were getting married again. Then mabey going to church. Now I think to a job you don't like.

[FromUnderTheRock]

Yes...relationships, religion, work...very stressful stuff. And I'll trust you on the other.

[AZpugs]

Excellent!! You remind me so much of my son.

[FromUnderTheRock]

I'll assume that you have impressive genes...and thank you very much :^)

[Kaichita]

Oh. My. God. BRILLIANT! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

[FromUnderTheRock]

hey---glad you liked it....switched on the new camera yet?

[jima6636]

Very odd O.o

But odd is good :D

[HeidenHobbema]

..DUDE.

[failedassassin]

Jobs are a shitty thing. It sounded like you were taking one the whole video.

[FromUnderTheRock]

Yes....it was filmed entirely

in Depends-O-Vision!

"For that secure feeling when you're filming on the go!"

[failedassassin]

Hahahaha!

[colasound]

Glad to know it's not just me that feels like this before work. I like being between jobs best too....if I could just find a job that required me to sit around in my pajamas and play video games I'd be golden.

[FromUnderTheRock]

I spent one winter in Park City, Utah and did nothing but play Half-life and Unreal. I depleted my savings and gained about 50 pounds.

Ahhhh.....good times.

[citizenkong]

I have mixed feelings about this vid. I am unemployed.
