Devin Townsend MTV Commercial

[VinMetal666]

Devin Townsend had to both be an actor and hock The Osbourne's shitty TV show just to get on MTV. Seriously, fuck everything about that. Heavy Devy for life.

[nilanium]

lmao 0:10 haha "at least we have one true music fan in here" so fucking true

[GaaraxChopstickx]

I WANT HIM AS MY TEACHER!!!!! <3

[hardcoremetroid158]

I want music on mtv, not reality shows and crap

[TMF58]

Devin Townsend on TV? My god, if I ever saw him on TV even for a few seconds, I would shit myself with happiness.

[romulusnr]

@TMF58 He's done voices on Metalocalypse a couple of times, if that counts. I had a total nerdmetalgasm the first time I recognized it.

[fuzzykitty441]

Be it The Osbournes or even Paris Hilton's New BFF, I'd watch any TV show if Devin told me so.

Also, totally woulda been the single shouting fan in the audience.

[billnmish]

@fuzzykitty441 - the last thing he would want you to do is be a sheep. Make up your own mind and like your own shit. Liking people a lot is cool, basing your decisions on them?  Not so much...

[Pequenno54]

mtv is to much little to devin townsend

[kuningaskosmos]

My name is Mr. Townsend, I'm your children's 4th dimensional guitar hero.

[rkvv7]

YOU ROCK, MAN!

[ChaosMaster7]

Very awesome till i realised what this was for

[THX256]

Now THIS is MTV...

[FellishBeast]

10 people.............are stupid.

[quj0r]

He's a natural for social studies; For that was the song that was AFTERMATH!

[noisemaker111]

Devin townsend, tell me your secrets.

Teach me how to sing and scream the way you do.

[BradTheProducer]

Thank you, sir.

[therealfatass]

for he was the teacher that came, aftermath

[p1ckledude]

Lucky kids, I wish Devin was my 4th grade social studies teacher :(

[jhbonarius]

hahaha, i sure miss the old MTV....

[MikeC26GH]

Devin Townsend changed my life.

[darkmaul007]

@MikeC26GH Me too

[dragondevel5]

@MikeC26GH devin townsend changed my life.

[Mikeyroteuthis]

@dragondevel5 devin townsend changed my underwear

[dragondevel5]

@Mikeyroteuthis well I'm jealous.

[Kohllikesnachos]

Woah dude. Devin is a sweet actor. I LOLed my ass off.

[SashaTheBrit]

i don't remember this commercial! what the hell.

[DemonicTurtle66]

Sadly when this commercial aired I didn't know who he was, but I did think he was hilarious. Now I'm obsessed with SYL and anything Devin touches.

[gibbsies]

i hate seeing musicians advertising things :(

[SouLZeroY]

@gibbsies Hey, he was advertising The Osbournes featuring 'Ozzy Obsbourne'.. not stupid Lady Gaga shit. And not to mention he executed an awesome scream at the end!

[gibbsies]

@SouLZeroY Hmm, last time I checked Ozzy was doing commercials with Justin Bieber...

[SouLZeroY]

@gibbsies Yes.. very disappointed about that actually. No one saw that shit coming, hahahaha.. ehhh.. =(

[007Pogo]

The way he leaves the set is just hilarious.

[cutsmania]

Is that John DiMaggio who yells "you rock man" ?

[drogado1]

Devin should do more comercials. This is awesome!!

[Mutant1994401]

Thank you, sir.

[MetalHeadMat666]

How he runs off the set is just hilarious.

[Geddylee2000]

he may not be one of the most "popular" artists in music today but he is genius

[theblackpacomurder]

99% of theOsbournes Fans have no idea about SYL or Devin

that's sooooooooo sad

[Sticksandstones32]

@theblackpacomurder ...but there's always that one true music fan out of a hundred Osbourne's fans. :D

[TheHorrorNetwork]

one true music fan in there... millions out here man

[verynice420]

people who listen to metal know who he is

[KyrahJay69]

Though I like Devin, he needs to pull his head out of his arse and stop producing shit like Ziltoid and The New Black or The Hummer. They all sucked, especially in comparison with the two masterpieces Ocean Machine and Terria. Terria is probably my all time favourite album in the world.

[WrathofVishnu]

@KyrahJay69 Don't be h8in on mah man Ziltoid. The other two I'm not too as big on though.

[SoderberGMusic]

@KyrahJay69 Are you fucking kidding?!?!

The New Black is one of the best albums of all time ffs!

[DissonanceEngineer]

@KyrahJay69 - So according to you, things you don't like = garbage? Because most DT fans love Ziltoid.

[ChrisXDumbass]

@KyrahJay69 How can you say any of those albums are shit, Ziltoid gave birth to hyperdrive, and was an amazing album, The New Black was just fucking amazing as well, and as Devin said himself on his website, The Hummer wasn't meant for everyone, you need a certain taste, if you will, for that kind of music, I loved it though.

[Aniland]

@ChrisXDumbass He's going to be mighty pissed when he finds out about Devin working on Z2, the sequel to Ziltoid.

[ChrisXDumbass]

@Aniland hah yeah, I can't wait for that album!!

Its gonna be soo good!

[thomaszgardzinski]

@Aniland ZILTOID FTW

[TheBeccab23]

@KyrahJay69 What?!? Ziltoid is Epic, man! You're wrong. Ziltoid is fuckin' awesome. Don't be dissin' and hatin'.

[TheAby800]

YOU ROCK MAN!!!

[MADness323]

Oh my Satan, I never saw this on TV, I probably would have exploded. Devin is the greatest human being alive.

[lasoogneypubes]

Fuck I wish Devin would've been my 4th grade social studies teacher. Instead I got stuck with a tree hugging queer. Oh well

[ecaepevolhturt]

Ziltoid reminds me of Invader Zim.

[XIDarkFearIX]

I like how he runs offstage xD

[guy158]

Did anyone else realize that Devin Townsend just transitioned flawlessly and instantly from speaking to screaming ..... 0.o

without even losing any volume or projection.

legendary

[Ruttomieli]

@guy158 Well, he DID have a small pause before the actual screaming part. But regardless, he's done the marvellous thing you described in many songs, so you are theoretically correct!

[elburabure]

@guy158 sorry to break it to you, but tv comercials (and most shows) have ultra compressed dinamics on the voices.

devin is amazing nonetheless

[phaelasnightbreeze]

@guy158 This is exactly why I love the guy, he can make a perfect transition when singing.

[bfish420]

@guy158 True. But don't forget they probably had to do a bunch of takes. But still. He's a fucking boss

[0waggoner]

@guy158 yeah. because im sure that there was no audio editing of any sort done in this nationally televised commercial.

[countbleck35]

@0waggoner you're a fucking idiot.

[Megamaniac610]

@guy158 to be fair the volume and projection was probably fixed in post production :/ That said I don't doubt that Devin could totally do that.

[twiistedfatee13]

Seriously, the way he says "final season" runs chills up my spine. I love this maaaan <3

[proaudiohd]

hahah devin rocks

[VietHetzer]

Devin reminds me of Gollum when he growls FINAL SEASON then creep-runs off the stage. lmao

[neuroelite]

you remind of an emo who clicked on the wrong video. lmao ftw

[gruffbean]

i know devin he is my guitar teachers best friend ive meet him a few times hes crazy..!!

[Kristoffa80]

@gruffbean No he's not, and no you haven't.

[lasoogneypubes]

@Kristoffa80

You just really hope he isn't and he hasn't, 'cause it would make you really jealous. Trust me it makes me really jealous too if it's actually true.

[dty06]

I want Devin Townsend to be my kids' social studies teacher. They'll learn more from him than the rest of their entire scholastic career combined.

[guitarness69]

FINAL SEASON!!! He has a great voice

[babathhh]

LOL

[stoutmeister91]

I remember watching this commercial I was in like 7th grade I think, funny haha I didn't expect him to be this awesome musician that long ago but now I know :D

[Hellview12a]

Probably the last great MTV commercial ever made.

[UnsureBunny]

did not expect that ending

[acnepus]

"you rock man"

[7SethMurrant7]

@acnepus "...Thankyou sir"

[celticprincess01]

*single tear* Gawd Devin is cool

[SOADMETALLICA323]

lol "you rock man!"

i bet when people were watching this commercial they were like "who the fuck is that"

[macewindex]

Jesus, I LMAO'd.

[mustasparta]

I love his voice

dear science

[helloweenarctico]

Devin Townsend

[6disco6stu6]

that man makes me fucking proud to have the last name townsend

[musikfreak44]

Such a fucking champ.

[acnepus]

you rock man!

[acledmaiden]

keep clicking at 0:25 it looks so wrong lol.

[ChimChimandChimaira]

Back...Way, way back in the day.

When MTV didn't suck complete cock.

[TerrorNightOfthe]

...4 years ago is "way way back in the day"? WTF

[ChimChimandChimaira]

lol Sarcasm, man. Sarcasm.

Just how MTV went from making commercials with DEVIN FUCKING TOWNSEND in them, to regurgitating corporate bullshit like Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, and T-Pain astounds me.

But I guess not everybody can be happy.

[picapepino]

Mr. Townsend

[lexagon]

I remember seeing this the first time and I just cracked up completely :D Devin is awesome.

[ww2gamer]

"You rock dude!" "Thank you sir"

Hahaha

[Kadzait1]

92,804 view!!! :D

Thats got to mean something.

I love Devs body movement when he does the voice.

[MICKADETH]

i love how he runs off stage at the end like that.

[gear2345]

You Rock Man!

[HiTechJesus]

Thank You, Sir!

[Hippiemetalhead123]

haha! love this guy! Osbourne can be the king of darkness while townsend can be the king of crazyness :D

[korward]

I love the way he said: "final season!". The best voice in whole fuckin' universe :)

[7SethMurrant7]

lol social studies was his favourite subject

hence aftermath

[thecrusAde88]

I love how he changes his voice from normal to metal growl in this. Devin is amazing.

[drrampenstein]

I remember seeing this commercial and asking myself "who the hell is this guy?" A couple of years later, I got into SYL and his solo stuff. Now I know :-p

[Jack8the8Ripper]

yep same here

[demskullz]

devin would be the sickest teacher dam he is the SHIT

[TheLobotomist]

I could totally see Devy as a 4th grade teacher while doing Strapping on the side.

[boogerman888]

I could totally see Devy as a singer while doing 4th graders on the side.

JK

[TheHappyFaceBoxMan]

Hello Devin, my name is Chris Hansen.

Why don't you have a seat right there?

[DarthBleh]

This is the coolest thing ever.

[imgandhi]

you rock man!

[bokma7]

...thankyou sir

[helheimer]

Haha, I love how he exits, Devin is the man.

[helheimer]

Osbourne's are such tools.

[7blak7panther7]

badass scream at the end dev.

[Mokumbo]

YOU ROCK MAN!.............. thank you sir.

[metalhead90210]

that guy that said"u rock man" sounded like odures urungus from gwar when he talks,and he is good friends with devain townsend

[dnthatem3cuzipwn]

sadly the people who watch the Osbornes are prolly like "who the hell was that"

[6Iron6Whore6]

@dnthatem3cuzipwn True

[Maddolis]

@dnthatem3cuzipwn Hah yeah the people who watch the Osbournes wouldn't know that Ozzy sung in Black Sabbath.

[Chisholm342]

@Maddolis *sang

[Maddolis]

@Chisholm342 Come on, you didn't just try to correct a month-old comment that was already grammatically correct, did you?

[Skoojoo]

"At least we have one true music fan in here tonight" lol

[ChimChimandChimaira]

Is there anything Devin Townsend won't do?

[thepissflap]

fuck no.. if it gives him free shit and money, he'll do anything.

[decemius]

I think the formula more is if it gives him a chance to be batshit insane and get paid for it, he'll do it.

[SaturnineXTS]

i would give head to learn to scream like devin in this commercial..

[Bananentosti]

that can be arranged

[SaturnineXTS]

i'm a dude -__-

[Bananentosti]

I don't mind ;)

[isair81]

This...is...pure...fucking...w­in!

[morbidanjel44]

Great commercial. Too bad MTV no longer stands for Music Television. If you can find 24 hours worth music on MTV within a 7 day time span, you're good.

[dvd21]

this commercial was made, when MTV aready aired everything except for music

[9Diamondsoul]

what are you talking about? I was watching music videos on MTV in 1994...

Oh and man my school sucked, WTF? All my teachers were just blah, too bad Devin didn't sub in my town....

[sanchetti75]

Devin's off his nut lol

[DamienNeverwinter]

I had some apple pie last night with ice cream. I was really good but now I'm not so sure I should have eaten it and gone straight to bed.

[Sandwhaler]

That was a pretty random story you shared with us there. You have something to say about this commercial or anything? btw: was the apple in the pie sliced or smashed because I think that information is essential to your story.

[DamienNeverwinter]

It was sliced but I kinda chopped it up in lil pieces with the ice-cream whilst I listened to Devins 'Almost Again' and feasted my greedy face =)

[wonderfoam]

Nice!

[DamienNeverwinter]

I don't know if God made apple pie haters, but I know he said "all tree bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire, wherefore by their fruit ye shall know them" Matthew 7,19-20 and so far what all people think of apple pie haters is evil.

[AutumnCymophane]

ah ah ! I think you deserve the "best repartee award" seriously, that commercial made me laugh, but your awesome conversation is priceless..thank you sir :)

[MetalXTool]

Devin is God.

[demollyon]

He's god. 5*

[jesusknowskungfu]

What the fuck is a god like Mr Townsend doing on fucking MTV? Like they would dare play any of his awesome shit for the delicate kiddies ears. Maybe if this was back in the early nineties when they were still playing Headbangers Ball, i could understand him coming on this, since he'd be supporting a channel that caters to his audience, whereas this was just a money grab if I ever saw one.

[Jagguar20]

Yeah this was back in the days I think, when MTV wasn't all about Jonas Brothers and shit.

[Mumblefood]

yeah, why would anyone want to be paid to say something on camera for 30 seconds? i would definitely turn this down because i prefer to be an idiot.

[homenucleonic666]

you rock man !

[joserpm]

thank you, sir....lol

[KINGKAI41]

That was fuckin' awesome. I laughed when he ran off the stage.

[HenBanKeN]

"FINAL SEASOOOON-AH"

I'd listen that part over and over again. Great voice!

[HarlequinDisease]

MTV Sucks

Yet, great voice Dev

[HenBanKeN]

You suck. xD Harlequin, que gusto de verte por aqui! Así que al fin has visto este video xDDDD

La voz de Devin es genial, no importa lo que haga este desgraciao, sigue siendo genial porque es música \m/ .

[HarlequinDisease]

I don't understand shit you're talking bout..learn some english god darn mexican..

Lol bueno no xDDDDD Que casualidad siepre atneto a los comentarios este hen

Es una voz inhumana, esta poseído lo sé xD

Y si, estuve paseandome por l amayoría de los videos de don Dev por acá xD

[SSHGL]

I think he's basically saying that Dev sucks and he's not important and there's mucch better music out there. Which means that cunt must die. :-)

[HarlequinDisease]

I don't think that better music = MTV..

[ducadimantova91]

Nah, SSHGL is wrong. An approssimative translation might be: "Devin's voice is great, it doesn't matter what that motherfucker does, he still remains great because his music rocks". Something like that, but wait...You two are both cilean?????? Something isn't quite right...

[himskater26669]

i would love to have Devin as my social studies teacher

[joacojoaquinjoako]

"YOU ROCK, MAN!"

"Thank you, sir. At least we have one true music fan in here tonight."

[JackLeonardoDaVinci]

lol, his scamper at the end is great

[BlueBarrier782]

god his voice is amazing

[Hank4real]

thank you sir...at least we have one true music fan in here tonight ;-))

[pinkozzzz]
