  • Yeah I agree with most people here that race wasn't meant to enter into this at all. This makes a lot more sense to those who watched dollhouse I think. Mostly race is being questioned simply because there is an Asian actress in it. The racism here is that people need it to be about Maurissa's race rather than the story for it to make sense.

  • Love the fact that the girl is also a Doll on the Dollhouse. She is also Joss Whedon's sister in law, and the techie girl in Epitaph Two: return, and Kilo of course..which happens to be one and the same but i just noticed :P She was part of Victor's gang. I too am a big fan of the show Dollhouse and feel there should have been a lot more seasons to it

  • This video reminds me of manga's like Doll, Absolute Boyfriend and even Chobits. The doll is there to serve, but there is much more to them than just that. Love the show Dollhouse too!

  • FRACK THAT BLUE DRESSED DOLL, I'LL TAKE THE RED DRESSED DOLL, HER "IMPERFECTNESS" AND ALL! Sorry, I raged a bit inside.... Oh and FRACK the guy that throws the red dressed doll away!! The man at the end really found a keeper.

  • As a Dr. Horrible fan I watched this :]

  • I was going to troll this..but I honestly cant find anything wrong with it!

    This is indeed a very good video!

  • O my gosh, I just realised the girl Fran tries to kiss is the girl from "Tomorrow when the war began" she was on the show "Neighbours" with Dichen and she's gonna be in lust for love

  • I`m sad

    

  • This song still makes me cry. Awesome work, all of you. (On the song/vid, and on Dollhouse). Lots and lots of love from Holland! Jo

  • fran showed us this song at a con. had never heard it untill then. i like it :)

    IIRC dichen told us the girl that fran tried to kiss, but turns away, was her friend and neighbour

  • жестоко...

  • This roboticist cried.

  • Totally reminded me of Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend). Freaking LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEDD this. <3 Dollhouse!

  • this is so sad.

  • Wow I really like this, Its pretty cool to watch as a Dollhouse fan, great job everyone! xx

  • Aww that's so sad God bless everyone!

  • YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

  • Come back to us Dollhouse!

  • This song haunts me. o_0

  • I love this video, it portrays the "Dolls" more as inanimate objects than people, which is more or less how they are treated on "Dollhouse". The concept of the show is awesome, I wish it had more seasons, it was a show worth watching.

  • @musicchic24 yea I loved DollHouse

  • love it :)

  • I frickin' miss dollhouse. So frickin' much.

  • Seriously! when i read the comments the prevailing topic is race issues. personally I think we should stop perpetuating stereotypes and see it as being a story about a man and a women and the truth of many relationships. whether one partner is bionic or not.

  • YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

  • So beautiful.

  • Gosh that video is painful. I kept thinking about the little mistakes I have made in past relationships. I was wondering if those mistakes were what caused the relationship to end. When my husband and I got married we talked about how we were both smart to keep each other mistakes and all. We see the value in each other. That is love.

  • its so sad and it shows the thing that people take for granted that the capacity to love is in all things

  • oh my lord, thisis beauitful

  • @seaj1290 Have you ever even watched Dollhouse? This symbolizes a bit more than your closet racism. This in a nutshell is everything that is fucked up with the dollhouse and the exploitation of people. Watch the show from an ethical standpoint or at least think of human rights and then get back to me.

  • @seaj1290 The reason the actress who plays the robot is an Asian actress is because she's the one who is singing this song. Also, she is married to the guy who wrote the song.

  • @seaj1290 You got it all wrong! The message is the complete opposite to your analysis... And if you watched anything from the Whedonverse, you would notice that they don't care about race or religion or beliefs (the use of the Chinese culture in Firefly!).

    It's nothing about racism here, and honestly, I didn't even think of that before you pointed it out. I think YOU might be a little racist, I don't say that as an insult, but as in "you're a bit too focused on races".

    This is just Art.

  • @seaj1290 Guess what? The Asian woman who portrays the "Doll" is the writer and singer of this song. She is also an accomplished television writer. SHE was the one with the concept, so leave your knee-jerk, narrow-minded reactions at the door.

  • @charlottewaldo Thank goodness someone said something!! We watched this video in our Comp. Class for an essay, and the Koren boy was blazing pissed because this woman was an Asian! Kept saying this was about racisim and not objectifying women, and love that was lost. Pewh!! Thank You!!

  • @seaj1290 Normally, I would be critically thinking the fuck out of this video, because it's problematic on its face; sexism, racism, classism, etc. (and her marriage to him is not the point at all, guys). However, in the context of The Dollhouse, in which people were actually programmed to serve, this makes sense.

    Yes, that entire premise is problematic as well, but that issue is addressed pretty much constantly in the show. Probably okay to let this one go, considering the facts.

  • Hello, Kilo.

    I miss Topher Brink.

  • Comment removed

  • what a depressing vid...used and abuse

  • I loved this show. Wish they would make some more seasons. And ain' t that the guy who was like the tech spec guy on the show.

  • A lot of meanings behind this video.. love tried and lost, one man's trash is another man's treasure.. sigh.

  • It's like Chobits! Thumbs up if you know what I mean!

  • @sweetsakura0587 Thumbs down even though I watched chobits

  • Where can I purchase one of these?

  • wtf is this...

  • 2:13 so sad :(

  • oh dude im high but the tinhg of her being a robot is wack

  • Somebody threw away a perfectly good Asian girl?

  • At first I thought, what a lucky man,then when he put her in the closet what a jerk! then he had two beautiful Asian women,then he put one in the dumpster I thought,what a ASSHOLE! but she found someone to love her even with her scar,and yes he was Black!

  • I see the good intention behind the video as far as relationships but was anybody thinking about the misinterpretation it can have? It's an asian lady being mailed to a white man. White woman replaced by an asian lady. Asian lady disposed of cause physical image and replaced by another Asian lady in the mail. And then a homeless man comes and takes her way. As a woman, this doesnt come off very respectful at all.

  • Aw, this totally made me cry

  • another asian is taken by white so miserable

  • Q_Q

  • 1:31

    watch his chest !! O_o

    

  • @Riyadh990 WHOA WTF LOL MAN BOOBS

  • Omg. That was amazing.

  • Fembots is the answer to world peace… think about it. Population control leads to less recourse consumption, better environment and more food for everyone. A real sexual revolution takes place where ones sexual habits have nothing to do with your appearance/work/social interaction that leads to more direct and efficient communication. Manual labor like sandwich making is taken over so humanity turns to education and creativity as its purpose.

  • @kuhioffxi Your last sentence is the most important.

  • @kuhioffxi Sounds like you hold some anger towards women.

  • This is such a beautiful song and video.

  • this is so sad. that guy was so rude to the other "girl". made me cry. but i really liked the ending. it was beautiful

  • Thats where all things made in China go. And then the bums get it on with them.

  • I need to get me one of those things. Damn they look like good sex slaves.

  • Its about a guy that orders a sexbot from asia. Great video LOL

  • why was the robot an asian?

  • I just watched this video without the music on and it still made me cry :')

  • YOUTUBE/REGGIEWRITEOUS

  • boring ... im just sayin

  • the climax of the video is when..he had both em in the bed..LOL....stupid asian girl robot...

  • @proudstr8 because you can't

  • beautiful song and video. loved it

  • @proudstr8 when you came out off your mother's vagina the doctor said "hell no that's one ugly motherfucking baby" and threw you at the wall with force and as you grew up your dad used to hit you with a hammer to fuck your brain up and one day he got arrested and you got some money for winning the case which you used to buy a new computer made from a toaster and then you realized there was a thing called internet and you decided that was a good ground to release your hatred for your father.

  • every robot come with life time warranty

  • Topher!

  • i love this video. i added it to my favorites. i m in an interracial relationship for 10 years and we had ups and downs. my videos on you tube reflect this - YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT

  • it's really good. people need to stop hating, i read an article the other day were they talked about how insensitive people can be on the internet and not realize that on the other side there is a person with feelings. i can take criticism well and people can curse me all they want because ive been on the internet for so long that im used to it, but some people don't. remember that the next time you make a stupid comment

  • So he bought a mail order bride?

  • @CAZPERsayz Its his or her first video, give them a break. It's just a film WHO CARES? Who's it hurting?

  • @CAZPERsayz Retard.

  • 好卡啊

  • i lyk it yoh

    

  • 1:32

    uhh, what is that bulge on the dude?

  • omg.. Dollhouse... I miss it...

  • Wow, this is deep AND awesome! Brilliant music video O.o

  • I've been watching Dollhouse with a friend who is a fan of the series. The closing song just made that moment in the story more poignant, and was an absolutely perfect choice. I spent the last few days with that song haunting me, as aliciarf2003 was, and was stunned to learn it was written for the episode. The official video complements the content of the song while paying tribute to the series. What great work from all involved.

  • The guy who finds her is a veteran. He too has been discarded by society after serving his purpose.

  • Wow! I love seeing things like this, not sure how I missed it! Truly a great show and quite possibly the best thing that Whedon and crew have molded into greatness.

  • @WhySoSerious55 Sorry, but I can't leave that comment without asking, how can you think Dollhouse is better than Buffy or Firefly? It was nowhere near as good. I love Whedon, but Dollhouse was weak. It had it's moments but it was not his finest work, in my opinion that will be Firefly, or it would've been anyway had it not been cancelled. But each to there own, Dolhouse wasn't bad, it just wasn't up there with his best, and his best is pretty great.

  • @Browncoatt22 No, you are right to question. Firefly is right up there next to Dollhouse, but naturally there's that unsatisfied feeling due to it being cut short. Dollhouse, to me, was one of those awesome art pieces that was pretty much allowed to flow front to back with little filler. Though Buffy was also awesome, there were a lot of "Monster of the Week" episodes. Even the most basic Whedon stuff, however, is far better than a lot of the garbage out there now.

  • @WhySoSerious55 The moster of the week episodes were my favourite ones, the little morality tales. The main plots dragged sometimes. I think in it's short run Firefly was still the best written and acted piece he has put together. I miss it the most, but that might just be beacause it "died young". Dollhouse lead actor was a bit poor i felt, sorry Eliza. Thing I love about Whedon fans is you always geta smart thought out reply, never a trolling angry response. Aren't we all a lovely bunch? :D

  • @Browncoatt22 You jerkface! Haha just kiddin. :-D I think part of what made Dollhouse more special for me was the well placed soundtrack and how much it kinda made me compare that world to this one. (Along with Miranda in Firefly.) Too much prodding and tampering.

  • @WhySoSerious55 It did have a great soundtrack, Firefly had a beautiful score though, the funeral music in "The Message" was impossibly beautiful. I notice no one ever has any love for Angel as a show, I guess it gets lumped in with Buffy, despite being quite different. But yeah I love the whole idea of tampering too much with human nature and seeng the horrific results, I loved the epitaph episodes of Dollhouse, and I can't help but feel they were helped by Dushku no longer being the focus.

  • @Browncoatt22 I think I had the effect of "I loved everything a little bit more than the last thing." Buffy was great, but Angel was better for me. Firefly trumped them both, and Dollhouse just kinda edged out Firefly. I've been known to switch order of things over time, however. haha Right now, I just look forward to the next bit of genius.

  • @WhySoSerious55 I can agree there, I always look forward to his ideas. I am excited about The Avengers movie, I really hope it wont be pants!

  • How freaking amazing was THAT.

  • oh my gosh that was so sad :(

    @DroneBzzz that was exactly what i ws thinkin too !

  • I would be happy with one maurissa robot

  • So sad video....

  • 2:15 breaks my heart </3

  • Love the video. Brings all the feelings back I had while watching Sierra's Dollhouse episode and also tells a new, beautiful story ;_;

  • Topher playing with dolls again...sigh. Great song though

  • Okay so great vid, made me cry. Dunno why but it's extremely sad. In the good sense. Anyways, 2:37-2:42 looks like Topher is doing some sorta rap move. Heh.

  • Wow. I was moved by this, it was amazing, I love the emotion behind it. I love these characters, I felt the robot was like the love bot in Firefly.

  • ummmmmmm why would he throw the whole thing away when i accidentally (ok not accidentally) burn or claw my realdolls during rough play i just send them off to get fixed only takes a couple of weeks and doesnt cost that much just seems like a waste of money to me im sure they can fix his doll for cheap i get a discount for being such a dedicated customer

  • HE GOT GREEDY, BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE?!

  • *sigh* when life-like robots become a reality, I really hope people treat them better..

  • Love It !!!

  • I miss dollhouse a lot as well as Terminator TSCC & Jericho O and also Legend of the seeker. anyway where is echo Eliza Dushku the head doll lol

  • I like the ending. So sweet.

  • Damn i wish you really could order multiple Maurissa ' dolls '. I'd never leave the house again!!

  • That guy has bigger boobs than the chick!

  • I'm always shocked when I look up and realize that nearly four minutes have passed.

  • Dude, how did she fit in that little box?

  • 10 people are trying to prove that the dollhouse is real.

  • @thatguyfromthething 10 people are trying not to prove Dollhouse is real :D

  • nice work anton :)

  • I think my heart just broke.

  • @weaping11reaper are you serious?

  • @thetruesora As a fuckin heart attack...Never fails.

  • this is some good shit right here. It still bugs me that Dollhouse got canceled while tv is full of garbage.

  • All the dollhouse songs leave me sad. But i just can't stop listening.

  • Still creepy...but still amazing...

  • i miss kilo she was my favorite

  • i miss kilo she was my favorite

  • aaand now she gets revenge!!! lol But seriously beautifully moving song and great video to go with it.

  • It is people like the Hobo at the end that give me hope for humanity.. Great song

  • @SpadeAlchemistify i bet in reality he just wants to fuck her. i know, harsh, but i can honestly say that as a man.

  • @MineMoreFish really mature little kid

  • Great song.

  • This was absolutely wonderful! This song haunted me for months after they showed it at the end of season 1 and I can't believe I'm not finding this until now. I would be Topher's doll any day...just saying.

  • this song makes me think of Terminator TSCC and this show a lot I miss this show this terminator & jericho. man dollhouse did not strike me at first but when I bought it on dvd I then saw how good this show was I hate that it got canceled fox sucks why tscc and dollhouse were why I went to fox to watch what fox had now I hate fox I don't care much for glee or american idel they are kind of boring to me.

  • where is echo in this and all the other people who were on dollhouse this is cool but echo is missing. I loved this show at first I thought I hated it like I did terminator TSCC but I gave both a second look when I bought them on DVD and miss both shows now fox sucks I hate gle.e dollhouse and Terminator TSCC were my favorite shows, only show I watch on fox is american idel all the other shows suck.

  • @Mastersun88 Hey, your forgetting Fringe. That's awesome.

  • @Mastersun88 my thoughts exactly, in fact i'm kinda glad that i hated dollhouse first because i got to watch it at my own pace on netflix. Though I totally agree that fox has the worst timing for pulling shows off the air. TSCC was freaking awesome btw

  • @Dacurath yeah fox is not my favorite channel I barley even want to watch american idel I don't care too much for that show if there is nothing on when american idel is on then I watch american idel but it is boring I just wish dollhouse and tscc never got canceled hay did you know syfy is airing a rerun of tscc on april 7th even though I have it on dvd I am going to watch it when it comes out because I am an overall terminator fan from when arnold was in it to the show.

  • @Mastersun88 Yeah I know, there bringing back a couple others too. SGU is getting the final episodes out in about 2 weeks. I'm not sure what else is coming out tho, I'll surf around and TIVO anything that sounds good. I don't think fox will care either way. Fox has left many tv series with me so disappointed that I'll wouldn't expect TSCC to stay on for more than one more season. I can be hopeful tho.

  • Right, and the homeless dude = The Internet

  • reminds me of chobits

  • Alex Day did this first.

  • COOL! NIce story and song! It suits toegether! I Want to make these kind of videos one day. ;D

  • great job!!!

    Maurissa you are so pretty in this.

    you and jed look awesome!

  • this is a great video, except for the end. would have been more poignant if no one ever found her discarded. or when the man found her, her face should not have healed, but he accepted her anyway. either wouldve made better endings (prefer the first)

  • @anrina Thank you for the spoiler.. lol

  • @TmeCAxPb haha! sorry :X risk of reading comments before you're done with the video ;)

  • @anrina

    I think it's meant to say he was weak, and he couldn't deal so he left her. there was nothing wrong with her, it was him who was broken, that's why she got her second chance and he remained in another flimsy relationship.

  • Such an incredibly beautiful song. Anyone who likes this should also check out Jed Whedon's record. It's incredible.

  • 8 people work for FOX

  • Wow. That was amazing.

  • this song makes me wish songs could make me cry

  • Comment removed

  • This is beautiful, and haunting. It really proves just how much people treated dolls like disposable and easily replaceable. They become who you love, but you never really love them.
