[Killerkl]

C12H17N2O4P xD

[Sm311yBaT]

:O he forgot to flush the toilet!

[BillHicks420]

Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope, Henry Rollins, Terence McKenna, George Carlin, Richard Dawkins. MY HEROES. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS? Cool to know that someone from Norway also share the same interests.

[clipophile]

I can't stop watching this...

[swayarrow]

this is critically amazing

[Bitmog]

Er det et spill?

[Metalomaniac16]

Beautiful. There's no need for words nor complexity to explain something as awesome, awful and simple as life. Great short. I totally liked it.

[Jokkboy97Ps3]

Dette her var kult, Telefonen min ringte kl 10.00 samtidig som videoen stoppet på 10:00 og så ringte deg på døren! This here was cool, my phone rang at 10.00 while the video stopped at 10:00 and then called you at the door! Give Me A Like For This Cool Shit*?

[mistel52]

One of the best ringtones ever!

[kingandrewapolo1]

the number of blow jobs is too damn high!

[Sky3645]

Because death is only a reset button

[Sonoskeakigawa]

Did you rig the 3D bits yourself? I'm new to 3D stuff, and wow. That humanoid model was nice.

[Scritergetamped]

E-P-I-C.

[zanes98]

Nok et fantastisk verk Lasse! Keep up the good work! :D

[LordLulox]

Getting married = $22?

[6471917]

This is just incredibly awesome and amazing. Every single aspect of it is artistic and meaningful, this needs to be seen worldwide. I take my hat off, Lasse.

[TopFunGhost]

One of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Thank You :)

[TheFreshBattery]

Needs waaayy more views.

[SirOblivion]

Noooo, i didnt want this to end! Its soo good!

[Kresske]

It's hard to describe how amazing this is.

[TheEoli]

This needs more than just half a million views.

[brunswickbass888]

I WANT THIS SONG IN BIT.TRIP BEAT! :( PLEASE!!!!

[MeatyMushroom]

Love this, awesome job :D

[schnager]

The way to really win at life is to NEVER stop enjoying all the beauty that is staring you right in the face, EVERY SINGLE DAY! If people would just slow down and enjoy life instead of worrying about the score, WE WOULD ALL BE MUCH HAPPIER.

[brunswickbass888]

@schnager The difference is how everyone scores...Do you just want to play how you're told? Do you want to sightsee? Do you want to win, what is winning?

Everyone's score is different, and we'll never understand someone else's except our own.

[Gauss247]

Awesome video Lasse, thanks for sharing your genious and emotions in videos

[26Felicitas]

Wow!! This is great! Good Job. But fortunately not the real life ^^

life is more..but this is close to it.

[arniixD]

That was awesome!! I really enjoyed. Definitely your best work yet. Very depressing though. It made me think about my future. What if something like that really happens to me o.O... :(

[schnager]

@arniixD What if it does?

[Djnes]

Amazing Video.

[G3H1Rn]

amazing video

[JohnNiner8]

Lucky! He didn't have to pay for his SUVs gas.

[DonSaether]

The only thing in this video that doesn't make sense is that the money is going up while he's with the hookers

[G0DB0Y25]

@DonSaether he's making so much at that point, nothing can make it do down.

[NoMoreNiceGuy1]

Thats life in a nutshell

[TheRavenseen]

nais



[schcon]

This is the best thing I have ever seen.

[Sm311yBaT]

du er den beste norske youtube-eren.

[Kimchikorita]

i found waldo! :D

[gregnezz]

That was class, had a couple of messages we should all listen to.... the main one being, if we really have one life we should make the best of it for ourselves... makes me kind of jealous of selfish people.. Do what you want in life but do it well and in 8x8 class..

[gregnezz]

[L4DWonton]

The way I see it, the first time he plays the game is how most of us play it: caution, confused, trying to make sense of what's going on, a life without a real direction, being pushed around by the world.

The second time around, with all the experience from the first game, the player immediately robs his old boss, steals his rival's car, and makes money the easy way. The way I see it, the drug overdose was intentional: like all games, it's simply too boring when you already have everything.

[VP3izz]

looks like Habbo! but nice work!

[Toralf080808]

anyone have a remix of the song? It's beautiful. The song and film.

[SangosEvilTwin]

that was just amazing . . . seriously

[donalduck6781]

dette var epic

[cornemuz]

It was very interesting.

[gematt7]

Waldo at 2:21!

[exenticmm]

Ew, he didnt wash his hands!

[melloe]

I love the music! But in his second life...he gets paid for hooking up with women?! What is this

[TiMthisIS]

Doug Stanhope recently played a loser comedian in an episode of Louie.  Nailed the part as he does his 8 bit part here. Great video and really enjoy the whole thing.

[Xaikar]

Most emotionally touching thing I've seen in a long time. I like the list of inspirational people/various substances. Respect. Jævli bra.

[kinkyjelly]

Did he really have to drive to his job?

[ClefvenHD]

@kinkyjelly Ya, think about the nature! Geez, 8-bit people these days...

[d809]

@kinkyjelly Not at all, but that's the basics of consumerism... buy what you don't need at all.

[gomabor]

Sometimes, when im at work doing static things, for example: filling up soda bottles, i get the soundtrack from this video going in my head... That makes me thinking that i need to do something with my life :P

[MadPyrotechnicus]

This is simply brilliant.

[Justamit2501]

This is fantastic. Simply fantastic. Great animation, music, storyline, and message. Little confused as to why he was making money while getting blow jobs, but thats a minor point. Also, anyone but me notice mario DJing?

[666999crosscut]

FUCKING HELL i wanted to spot waldo!!!!!!!!!!!

[Afrodisiac99]

This makes me hate the world.

[atria580]

The afterlife scenes and music are just... magic...

[matthiasfsa]

Lasse, I like your version of the afterlife better hahahaha way to go man!

[zero00tolerance]

Watching this making me sad...Ive seen guys that lost everything and live a sad life..while others live a happy wealthy life. Makes you wonder what is happiness..and what is the meaning of life...Why are we here guys ? is that what life is all about making money .. trying to stay happy ? or is it something else bigger .. i guess the answer will awaits us in the end.

[therayfai]

this guy makes a thousand dollars a day?!?!?!?!?

[GeRoIn86]

AWESOME!!!watching without any pause, graphics and music are awesome and REALLY sweet for eyes and ears, I've remembered my childhood with dendy...

[U2isthebestforever]

Very well done! I truly enjoyed it :)

[thezec]

7:03

REZ!

[Joselo1693]

the most simple explanation of life i've ever seen

[muzboz]

Wow. Genius. Love all the cinematic tenets applied to low bit animation. The way the guy ages as a bus passes in front of him. Etc. This is so wonderful.

I've got a blue SG guitar just like the one he buys in his second life! :)

[Artificialraven]

I also just stumbled upon this again. Great satire.

[Matnetify]

Wow man... Just found this, again. Started watching it, again. Had to watch it all - again. This is by far the best video on youtube! Thanks a lot for sharing it!

[thegreatMSG]

I don't like the 3D part... =(

[Brightfur10]

That's a lot of dick sucking.

[bkmelseth]

@TimmysHQ Just noticed your reply, 11 months later.. :P

Anyways, a quick google leads me to believe that you'd be correct if I was Swedish. However, as I'm Norwegian, I am correct. We don't use 'ovation' (searched a few Norwegian dictionaries just to be 100% sure

actually).

"A standing ovation is a form of applause where members of a seated audience stand up while applauding after extraordinary performances of particularly high acclaim." from the wiki. <3 from Oslo.

[MartialSlone]

@thriftwood2 the name you were looking for was Kurt Cobain

[CaptainMcMuffin100]

That was fucking awsome.

[HatsDownProductions]

how do you make these!!!! lol, i wanna make one

[thriftwood2]

better to burn out than to fade away

-bob marley

[bergice1]

@thriftwood2 Uh, thats Neil Young dude.

[kionay]

A strange game.

The only winning move is not to play.

[chreberle]

@kionay well, you cannot NOT 'play' or act... but in a way you are right - life is a zero sum game...

[accforzippovid]

@kionay no, you have to press button at the beginning

[zanes98]

@kionay thats life xD

[Squizeto]

This is a Fantastic Brilliant piece of artwork, Always a pleasure to view your material Lasse, And as of today Trygve Knudsen. Keep up the very inspirational, moving work!

[dimitar4y]

This is just so friggin beautiful and awesome. It always makes me cry when I watch it....

[TTecz]

This really makes you think, which path to take and what it might lead you to. Life may seem better than it is, and also opposite, very good video, 5/5 !

[soraroxas61988]

i finally found that son of a bitch

[QuelTwiste]

Moral: Never marry a chick you pick up at a bar.

[peptosxe]

Being good is bad. Nice film! Loved the music =)

[TiMthisIS]

Outstanding work. The heroine melt was a neat effect. And what a random place to see a Doug Stanhope reference.

[masacatior]

fuckin' genius

[poiuyrvsdg]

what i love about this video (besides the greeaaaaat music !!), is that it doesn't have any precise morality or message for all of us, it's "just" an amazingly personal creation that makes you think differently about life .... Plus, the fact that when he dies after his first miserable life he decides to try again as if he felt he missed out and regretted, and the second time he dies he decides not to try again to show that he doesn't feel any regrets. Truly a beautiful creation man...

[Kimarius2die4]

Okay... Soo.. This, is the best film you've ever made...

[nino210]

This was my favorite youtube video when I saw it the first time almost a year ago. After seeing it again with the annotations, I like it even more. Thanks Lasse. Keep 'em coming.

[DNseagull]

i dont get how he is making money while a bitch is blowing him and he's shooting heroin

[nino210]

@DNseagull As a normal person, you only make money while you're on the clock(like the guy working at the bike shop). Other people, however, make money hand over fist even when they're not at work(even while they're doing drugs and getting blown by hookers).

[DNseagull]

@nino210 ooo... thx :) I get it more now. honestly I ended up skipping a lot because while this was a pretty cool piece I didn't find it as direct as his others. but it's cool he tried to get a little deeper.

[realSOnoYa]

Life sucks.

[haakzyker]

wow! just... wow!

[Mogansss]

lol I recognized ron jeremy. wierd that

[qforkyu]

lassegg, thank you so much. very inspiring, touching, and of course witty! your magnum opus so far!

[SerjeTheRobot]

Mongo all the way at 8:44

[ariloulaleelay]

awesome

[sonicks96]

Thanx for that good work!

[AkuzameConTuHermana]

BEAUTIFUL u_u

[burnie222]

dette var en helt utrolig film Lasse! Veldig veldig bra gjennomtenkt. Du har jævli godt talent for dette her! stå på!! :D

[karimcm]

wow! incredible! :)

By the way: You mention a game of avoiding people. What is that game? XD That must be the kind of games that makes you get hooked on it hahaha :)

[TheGuyWithoutHead2]

du er et naturtalent!!!!!

[SOxxLegit]

best video ive seen in a while

[craigmoney2006]

5:37 URBAN CHAMPION:CHEATERS STYLE LOL



[1Burninhouse1]

[EpicAkensai]

Anything you would like me to add?

[tuningomanJAk559]

01:25 Super Mario mixing music

[MartiinCarrillo]

Awesome video!



[Video4Eva]

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rens243]

I took the song as ringtone :D

[maccasos007]

09:21 hahaha 

[Katruud]

This is truly amazing... It reminds me of Jason Rohrer's game "Passage", even if the two art pieces are different.

Great job !

[9snaker]

wow what an awesome soundtrack *.*

oh and nice film... i really enjoyed watching it :-)

has a good moral^^

[Bizzmark11]

This video makes me wish there was a 'LOVE it' button.

[JakupN]

is this some kind of grand theft auto??

[Klarthyn]

this is awesome a great showing of life and karma :) really great show

[jimthestuntman]

This is brilliant.

[ClanIC7]

How do you do that?????

[mrbreezyboy7]

a long 12 minutes well spent :)

[TheFreshBattery]

I hate youtube.

Not because of the advertisements or stupid comments.

It's because a stupid video about a baby who bits in someones finger get's more then 300 million views, and this super awesome video doesn't even get 1 million.

And no, you DON't need to thumbs up if you agree :')

[MajamiHiroz]

@TheFreshBattery It's not necessarily YouTube's fault - the people who watch videos are guilty! :D

Sad but true: if you talk rubbish / upload videos about cats / babies - you can become "famous", while the real talented ones find it hard to find recognition.

[ThisUserNameShudWork]

@MajamiHiroz agreed

[TRINZE4]

Man, what a film. I described these two possible lifetimes as two lifes possible to live: one life who takes it casual like any average man and a major event that changed him to a more depressed man, and eventually dies of old age. The other a more fast-paced hardcore typical start for a youngster that led him to an obviously major event that changed his life to a more lucrative and enjoyable lifestyle, yet tragically ends it foolishly. Makes you think.

[gm182]

This is fucking depressing. Way to portrait life as a "LIFE SUCKS".

[cyb3rp0nk]

This is why i still play 8-bit, because it's how life works... Good work man, another masterpiece ;)

[michaelwbell]

So so so good!

[byzohoe]

I'll call that a WIN :)

[NorwegionGamer]

10:30 LUCKY!

[drgeert]

And what will be his next stage?

I think the guy is going to make movies and songs, like berries on a berry bush. Over and over again, just because.

Thanks for the inspiration. You paved my way.

[jockynerd0201]

You're a genius

That is all

[6philjones]

Absolutely wonderful.

[4326441]

no me estrañaria que fueras sinestesico

[ilkbto]

@4326441 mmm. curioso que te atravas a criticar sin saber escribir. Existe "baya" ,"valla" y "vaya".2 faltas de ortografia en 4 letras no esta mal campeon.

[4326441]

@ilkbto jajajajaja usted se calla señor que no hable contigo, diga balla o mierda no es problema tuyo,

que tuviste que ir a traducir por pareces que no tienes nada que hacer cierto?

[ilkbto]

@4326441 miraaaa espabilao,no tiempo de explicarte todos los fallos que has cometido en estas 3 lineas.No se si es que no hablas castellano o si tienes algun tipo de dislexia que te dificulta el aprendizaje,simplemente intente mejorar tu ortografia,pero me parece que el problema lo no era ese. ale a cascarla porahi

[4326441]

@ilkbto yo creo, que el problema lo debes tener tu...ya que al parecer como que no tienes amigos..

y tienes que buscar conversaciones.. de otros para poder que te dirijan la palabra.

o te digan algo, pero no hacerlo mas cruel, escribe que ya no me voy a tomar el tiempo de discutir contigo, y menos detrás de un monitor, saludos espero que no te sigas metiendo en asuntos que no son tuyos.

[BillHicks420]

Bill Hicks, George Carlin, AND Terence McKenna. HOLY SHIT, that caught me off guard!

[Pyiotrich]

I almost cried at 5:40

[d809]

Tibetan book of the dead? anyone?

[Numba1boxa]

7:00



[nochenontubo]

Super congrats, it's just great. And you also wrote music for a 12 min long movie, which is just what makes this video complete.

[conorwilson1647]

Insane

[loki1702]

So sad @ 5:44 very nice film, I keep watching/listening to it!

[MrSuperhuhu1]

thats awesome !!!

good job guy !!!

[Kasotomic]

I am proud of my country now...

[Cheiz87]

OMG this is so nice

[5117sebastian]

fascinante, realmente eres un puto genio

[dahvisibleinvisible]

Why isn´t the bicycle shop a Pokèmon reference?

[Gruunldfuulk]

@dahvisibleinvisible

Because it could be a Earthbound one as well.

[idog98]

this is like a 10 min movie of a guy's life

[ALC96]

...he needs a car to go to work a block or two away :B ?

[matdej]

@ALC96 Yeah, he's probably American :p

[DrawRF]

It was very good but i hate that you give us skateboarders bad repetution

[moreex2]

say what? love the animation and the concept. He needed some acne cream as a teenager.

[mischkabunny]

Yay! I knew you would come back. I love this so much. It's really cool to know others out there have a similar perspective of some things. Or at least I'm guessing.

[kealzz]

128 people failed to "play again"

[MeetTheBeaf]

@kealzz harhar.

[zapperzone3]

awsome shit man

[TheBadboys35]

omg det beste jeg noen gang har sett dette fikk meg til å tenke assss

[AndreasFrancis]

Veldig bra! Fikk meg til å tenke på hvor kort livet egentlig er og hvor viktig det er å bruke tiden man har godt.

[FabianBajorat]

intriguing piece of work!
