REJECTED - with text commentary by DON HERTZFELDT

[joshmartin1998]

5 peoples anuses are bleeding

[Naurdagnor]

In the year 133713371337, after the thirty-ninth reich of bamboo baboons seized a very pixelated copy of this film, they realized the need for its continuation into the 'next existence', aka the forty-second eternity. Placing it into a fluffy-shaped container made of sillyhatarium (the most durable and strongest bowlterial known to bamboonians) they sent it off into the red-space of anableed, a place Don once frequented unconsciously, where matter stayed constant into the forty-second eternity.

[andrewjmiller92]

@Naurdagnor The cool thing is that most of these explanations of events are not strictly impossible under the laws of theoretical physics. In fact, according to modern theory, there statistically must be a universe in which that very chain of events does occur. Therefore, all fiction is in fact just a projection of an alternate reality into the conscious mind. Put your LSD on that and drop it.

[No0031]

This has been burned into my memory for 7 years. Time to watch again.

[AutstcB0n3r]

1:09 WHAT I CAME HERE FOR

[GothLoliInTheUS]

i thought i'd hate this because i find commentary annoying and distracting, but i guess i underestimated Don's humor, because they just made me laugh so hard! [my face turned colors!!!]

Don, you are awesome... and i mean that in an honestly sincere way.

[xCRMSx]

i cant even fucking see the show

[MrJusticeDispenser07]

I will never tire of this :)

[Gwensa]

I think that the film historian being so very disturbed is pretty funny!

[RizerArcain]

I first watched this film in 2002 and I could not control the volume of my voice. After reading you commentary, it reinvigorated some sick, evil funny bone of mine. I have but one question, however... what happened in 9999999999 and 1?

[HolaSoyRaul]

Grenthings form Argentina, i love this 

[gimubatulo]

@HolaSoyRaul Me too, greetings for Don.

[Pr0ph3tEatsBabies]

in 2663, the rylakian crab apes declared the film their glorious high leader and began beaming it directly into their exo-skulls while masturbating excessively.

[rherlitz]

nice to hear a swedish cristmas song in there

[heartsosavage]

My college roommate stole my copy of Rejected on DVD, needless to say we're not friends anymore.

[technicallyabsurd]

2:18 It works, don't worry.

[done10for]

jjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjj jjj jjj jjjj jjjjjjjjjjj jjjj j

[lustreboy]

utter genius!

[MrNapoleanMortimer]

"like watching mud burn" I honestly don't know why I laughed so hard at that

[YAMAHA2612]

I can't buy the dvd's, so thank you so much for uploading this!

[drakeTM1]

all his work needs to have commentary!

[thejamhole]

brilliant

[BigRedBootsFilms]

hahahahahah! "rob also performed the vacuum cleaner sounds with a bottle and a pear"

[galactic6262]

The ending made me shit my pants.

[omgshrimpz]

What's the song at the start?

[Wesley683]

YEH MONKEY POUR COFFEE IN MY MOOTS

[XxPunkerkittyXx]

do you like the letter n? it scares me a little... im serious

i like you... you are so... open... youre happy about the little things...

[wangtang32000]

lmfao you really know how to set up an acid trip for viewers.

oh and the comments were great XD

[philophos]

OMG THE ANUS SCENE HAD ME IN STITCHES. I'M SORRY I JUST HAVE TO SAY IT.

[Dr1nkToYouth]

"In 2663, the rylakian crab apes declared the film their glorious high leader and becan beaming it directly into their exo-skulls every moon cycle holiday while masturbating excessively."

XD

[DarkishArchon]

This man is a fucking genius

[CeruleanFilms]

Remind me never to take a vacation in Rylak.

[Tyrellethehedgehog]

i like the dances as he says "my anus i bleeding"

[fireflocs]

Apparently, nazi germany involved lots of wads of cotton bleeding out of various orifices.

[Firemarok]

and seeing how he does this commentary..its confirmed..he's absolutely crazy...awesome but crazy

[SeasaCleaus]

Don I love u XD

[tzaero]

the o's you typed at around 6:32 frighten me because I think they're maybe mute ghosts haunting me through closed captioning.

[FJK46]

I read all the commentary in the voice of the narrator from everything will be ok

[ipitythefu1]

MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!!!

[TaganasArt]

iY MONKEY PORK CHOPPY IN MY MMMMOOTS!

[DonMarkSaladbar]

I love you.... have my babies Don, have them now before I implode out of sheer stupidity!

[Nirgendsburg]

If you want to learn about sound effects production, take a foley artist to lunch. ;)

This is great stuff. I had to watch twice: once for the film, and again to read the commentary. If you want to see a hysterical satire of TV adverts that was made by an advertising production company, navigate to 'archive (dot) org' and search for 'Cliché Family in Televisionland'.

[Nirgendsburg]

"Ironic, no?" Nope! If they can't buy it, they steal it; if they can't do that, they sue in court (not necessarily in that order). Chester Carlton, the guy who invented the dry printing process used in copiers and laser printers, approached several major corporations for backing when he was still in development. They all turned him down. When he finally brought it to market, every corp he had approached filed suit against him. "Nothing personal, just business..." :P

[mas5003]

i actually was rolling on the floor laughing at 8:14

[oODajmarNOo]

the leter o is also a good letter

[MegaUglyface]

does anyone know what happened to "don't do drugs?" =/

[mandrellian]

I for one welcome our rylakian crab ape overlords

[nearfantastica]

I didn't think it was possible for Rejected to get even more hilarious, but the commentary has proven me wrong. Don Hertzfeldt, you are a genius.

[vipercccp]

i love how he forgets him self and begining ( in 2663 .... ) lool

[noutjie]

silly rylakian crab apes

[Garonyldas]

skreeeee

[Dune1884]

jjjjjj j j jjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjj jj jj j

[Brrdan]

I love the song at 4:47 xD I wanna know where i can find it...

[Wesley683]

LOL in 2663, the rylakian crabapes declared the film their glorius high leader and began beaming it directly into their exo-skulls every moon cycle holiday while masturbating excessively

[TwiliticHorizon]

So, I'm inlove with Don Hertzfeldt.

[gabriel1812]

2:20 DEFINITELY wokrs better with the card HAHAHAHA

[godbort]

I am a big fan , if you could one day See my video , i would be happy and die in piece with jesus christ thy lord of the falls

[berbank]

thanks for the honest and insightful commentary! very impressive work in sound and vision. Don't you wonder sometimes? 'bout sound and vision? Sound is endangered apparently. Scientists predict that in 2000 and twelvety-nine, there maybe as few as 700 sounds left in the wild, with as few as 150 breeding pairs. Vision on the other hand is in wild, rampant abundance and some believe that 80% of vision seeds have been genetically tampered with by monsanto creating a world threatening monstrovision

[AnthonnyAG]

"In 2663..." ¡Jajaja!

[argento4709]

"it is like he is now a part of meeeee!"

that's very graphic idea

[Darkone225]

I believe the letter o is a great letter.

[wiiconsole2]

The animation teachers at rmit always use rejected and billy balloon as examples to us about what we may one day create.

Its rather amusing to think were watching people pull others body parts off for school

[Bobofjudia]

I was drunk while watching this, and I laughed so hard I threw up all over myself. I'm going to have to cover my desk in plastic for weeks.

[suferable]

Oh Don Hertzfelt, you make me laugh out loud, alone, in front of my computer. Some day I hope to make a movie that is so funny that people will laugh until they puke all over themselves. Hopefully before I die.

[liphttam]

Some of the commentary reminds me of EVERYTHING WILL BE OK and I think that's really pretty.

Teachers always say not to use the word pretty but when Don uses it... it works amazingly.

[NinjaVlogger]

Thank you for that kind sir! made my day.

[nicolunacba]

Amazing! Thanks for uploading it :D

[Jaroon88]

great great commentary

[the2661]

:))

[dotman557]

the dvd made my anus bleed, and I feel fat and/or sassy.

Im buying more, because I am a consumer whore.

[colelinic]

oh man I wished it was 2663 right now...

[frado969]

I love don hertzsfeldt, i love him so much, and i dont even know the guy

[bballgirlsl981]

one of my favorite animated shorts of all time. love the fluffy things.

[iProd]

o is a terrible letter, you should be ashamed

[gakirat]

umm...how exactly were years counted after the sun exploded?

[zach2992]

I look forward to 2663.

[NiceGuy1130]

jjjjjj j jjj jj jjjjjjj jjjjjj

[Unnamed0909]

Don, next time you're asked to animate a commercial, say yes but then make it like one of these. No sense, no relation to the product.

[ProFunTampa]

Don I have found a whole new respect for you and I'm never eating Pop tarts ever again.

[bballgirlsl981]

@ProFunTampa that's where i recognized this style of animation! damn you kelloggs...

[overcastplay]

I am well

you?

[Zubzero120]

what is with the (german?) music at the anus-bleeding part? I always hear that when the puffy guys are around.

[willzyx23]

@Zubzero120 IIRC its a swedish nursery rhyme

[willzyx23]

@Zubzero120 wikipedia says it's a Swedish Christmas song, Nu Är Det Jul Igen

[ScabNainz]

@willzyx23 This is a song my dad plays on the piano every year for Christmas. It was just that more, um, meaningful seeing it used in this film in such a way.

I feel sorry for the Swedes who upload this song to youtube only to see the comments boards flooded with "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING"

The whole thing with the bleeding anuses is only slightly less disgusting than lutefisk.

[pickle84]

@ScabNainz I come from a Danish family and we sing the song at Christmas every year too- but this is the first time I've noticed it in the background, possibly because our variation is a little different. It will never be the same song now...

[Coldbrand]

Oh my God I needed this. I've been having the worst day ever.

[daysofclark]

Rob is a really talented guy.

[daydreamnite56]

silly hats only bitch

[CarlosJulio20]

4th COMMENT!! WHOOOO

[Erocku]

My spoon is too big!

[HoldTheMainstream]

LOL?
