[spikeb36969]

[7waterknight7]

hmm this video helps me understand the words better of the song.

[yjmoo31]

shut up coldshotkill1

[coldshotkill1]

super gay!!!

[theanimeawsome]

Awesome

[TheChrisPlays]

damn animation sucked in 2008 but you did good for that time

[xgamerx350]

lol heard this from space chimps the movie

[TheChrisPlays]

@xgamerx350 same and i LOVED IT

[xgamerx350]

@TheChrisPlays its actually good

[ExecutiveClearance]

Your video is much better than the official video! Much more true to the song.

[gothica202]

Omg this brings back so many great memories, when i was so little this was my favorite song, i miss being now im 15 and middle aged, but anyways this was my favorite song when it came out this was all that i ever listen to!!!

[LuigieatsBabies]

I think i could have gone without seeing the chimp in womens underwear XD great vid tho :D

[MsMadsquirrel]

This is awesome!!! you're really good !!  keep em coming !

[nick7305]

Sheldon Cooper made 21 accounts and didn't think it logical that chimpanzees could talk

[Mrpcwizzkid]

OMG This is true genius!!! how'd ya do that in flash? You should make a tutorial on how to do this in flash!!!

P.S: What version of flash did you use?

[iSketchFender]

@Mrpcwizzkid Hi, it was, if memory serves, Flash 8 (we're going back a couple of years) in which the bulk of it was made (the cartoon section). It wasn't that difficult, standard Flash keying etc, but I used a short key capture script to generate lip-syncing, which wasn't entirely successful lol. The rest was a 3D renderer, I dropped the exported Flash animation into that as a texture.

Not sure there's much tutorial material in there, don't really have the time either. Thanks for the kind words

[Stigmannetjie]

@Mrpcwizzkid How you know it's done in flash? O.O

[charleswerth]

I actually think this is better than the original video

[iSketchFender]

@charleswerth Shhhhh, don't let the band hear you say that! ;)

[Mrpcwizzkid]

@iSketchFender lol

This is AMAZING! Can you subscribe to me? I subscribed to you!

[AvgStop]

I LOVE THE ENDING!! Bet the whole world couldn't resist Thanks for the Animation!!

[runwolf]

I usually hate the "homemade" videos of songs.... But thumbs off to you! I like it!

You did an awesome job!

[justinbieberfan9314]

luv it!!

[longliverocknroll5]

this takes me back....good times.....random as hell song

[mountainwalrus100]

Steve Page quitting the Barenaked ladies is like John Lennon quitting the Beatles and having the Beatles keep going on without him. Yeah the Beatles would still have Paul and BNL still has the other guy but it's not the same. Both bands are really two people bands.

[eblckmn]

I actually like this better than the official video. :)

[footballamericana321]

thumbs up if you think he actually started getting chimp postcards after he made this song

[FeirceNessOnAStick]

this song is amazing

[penguins4cup]

the lyrics are quite interesting..

[PUR3DRFTz]

i had to play this song in my Drum Kit Exam! love it! :D

[mariehansler]

Again...You did a great job.

[hmcvirgo92]

This was my favorite song when I was 12 years old!

[horizonsaddict]

LOVE IT!!!!!!

[MrCopperhead1861]

This is great, you had me at the sunglasses lol

[Deadline63]

19 People Did NOT Receive Any Postcards From Chimpanzee...

[Crosseyedbadgerspit]

@Deadline63 Or they just hate chimps or BNL...

Nah...

[QueenReigns1]

@Deadline63

The song doesn't say postcards from chimpanzees, it says postcards WITH chimpanzees...meaning they have pics of chimps on them......fuckwit.

[coolkevz]

@Deadline63  LOL i guess not :o(

[AlamaramaDuck]

i thought it was british chimp in the bar, not bath...

[opinionatedprimate]

@AlamaramaDuck Nah, it's definitely in the bath if you check their lyrics.

(iSketchFender)

[sll2797]

Great Vid and i mean really great i thought it was the official at first

[silenceofart]

Very nice video.

[notablegoat]

This is my favorite video for this song, so I hope you'll understand when I say that I noticed one little problem in this otherwise pro video: the singing monkey seems to have a hard time keeping beat. His arm movement isn't on beat. Not that that's a huge problem, but after watching it a few times, I noticed! Thumbs up, anyway!

[opinionatedprimate]

@notablegoat Given the trouble it was to create at times, it's a miracle the arm is the only flaw you found! I had to sync as best I could in Flash, then record the movie as a video clip, then drop it into the 3D program, which renders a silent result that had to have the audio dubbed back on at the end! The postcard coming out of the mailbox at the right time was a fluke!

BTW, this is iSketchFender, YouTube's being a pain, won't let me sign in with that account. Thanks for the kind comments :)

[CebuLips9]

someone should make an amv of this with invader zim

[sheepdog2c7]

oh wow the last bit with the zoo is soooo cool! haha and an awesome song :D

[yellowXbrickXroad]

aww this is cute ^^

[21DieselBoy21]

Could you do a video for "It's Only Me"?

[madsoccer1]

Hey, what program did you use to create this? Its genius!

[iSketchFender]

@madsoccer1 The majority of it, the main movie, was created using Flash - that was then used as a texture map in the end sequence (mapped onto the TV screen in the tyre), which was rendered in a 3D program. That was pretty much it.

Thanks for the kind comment :)

[tazia37]

LMAO-ROFL!!! you're absolutely brilliant! thanx for posting!

[inmylife10465]

nice video bro,can you do me a fave and bring back steve to the band?(lol)

[TheHannahbear09]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! You have no idea how happy this video made me! Thanks for the laugh! =)

[bijm007]

Loved listening to this song while I was growing up

[NiamOfAsuras]

intro is just epic...

[Rohlan1990]

[ryoko65]

[lorddrewski]

[PKFlashOmega]

CHIMPS!

[artgirl276]

i actually like this music video better than the official one xD <3

[mattcol99]

Great video! I always thought it was "a british chimp in the *bar*"

[scholms05]

good job with the Flash work man! Also, the renders look awesome as well, how long did it take you to model everything for the last sequence? Did you use the UV Texture Editor and then load them into Photoshop to do the textures?

[Spencespank]

lol barenaked ladies tv

[lunadeoctubre1983]

cute!

[tehlinebeginstoblur]

Wow, this is fantastic! Usually when I watch fan-made stuff I have to lower my standards to really enjoy it, but this is insanely good; high quality! I think I actually prefer it to the official video (just wasn't a big fan of the whole King Kong theme yet not one chimp postcard!).

[NitroZeGold]

Dang this is really good if anybody didn't like this then they are not very smart. This is the best iv seen

[dorianiwan]

fantastic...

[poledancerz1]

woah! this is an awesome song! and awesome video!! this song is soooo addicting.

[kevinpr89]

[MysticBat]

This is a great job actually. Could have been the original video. Great work, I'm glad I decided to look up BNL today :)

[cornercob]

[tysdog6]

[tysdog6]

@iSketchFender i still like the song just not the animation

[richardthewriter]

@iSketchFender starskey and hutch chimps. THE BEST!!! (earings are a cool touch)

[Kornwolf]

@iSketchFender that had to be the worst attempt at trolling I'd ever seen. At least it made me laugh tysdog6

[HelloKittyGirl19891]

@iSketchFender hahaha yeah, right?? :)

[Anthonyk312]

@iSketchFender i don't like it either.

[iSketchFender]

@Anthonyk312 Well, erm, not a whole lot I can do about that. Can't please all the people all the time.

[skatewad]

@tysdog6 prob cuz youre a queef

[tysdog6]

@skatewad queef. really? who says that? feel cool now dont you

[skatewad]

@tysdog6 haha wow youre socially retarded

[tysdog6]

@skatewad coming from you. that means nothing

[skatewad]

@tysdog6 yeah i guess it really doesnt get much more classy then burning shit in your back yard with rednecks? bitches love that shit

[tysdog6]

@skatewad aaww. you went threw my vids. how precious. rednecks really? they are the inbreds who live in america

[Crosseyedbadgerspit]

@skatewad stfu

[skatewad]

@Crosseyedbadgerspit eat my dick

[Crosseyedbadgerspit]

[Crosseyedbadgerspit]

@tysdog6 stfu

[Hushpadkid]

wait you made this!? i thought it was the real music video...THIS IS BEAST if you agree thumbs ups

[iloveyousomuchTie11]

you guys should wach 789 so cool



[Notasthinkasudrunkim]

What software did you use?

[iSketchFender]

@Notasthinkasudrunkim The majority of it was created in Flash with the end sequence, in the zoo, being created in a 3D rendering program.

[123isuper]

OMG great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:

[SassyAngel411]

I remember this song was extremely popular when I was younger and then it totally died :(

[TwistedFok]

well you did a dam good job dude, props

[102alexandria]

i luv this song



[rockinbowler17]

The 90's were great...

[iSketchFender]

@rockinbowler17 Indeed they were, it was a great decade, but Another Postcard was released in 2003 :)

[Phelicity9]

@iSketchFender how in the hell did you not get paid to make this as the official video? absolutely brilliant! kudos. and god i miss the days when music was this good. if i see one more woman dressed in a scary costumes singing gibberish (ra ra ah ma ma) i'm going to write my state legislator. :) great job again!

[iSketchFender]

@Phelicity9 lol, it was a work of love for a song I enjoy, I'd have happily made it for free if they'd asked me! I agree about music, there's too much formulaic stuff around these days and not enough individuality like BNL. Many thanks for the kind comments, I'm glad you liked the video :)

[MegaPierosgr]

this song was soundtrack in a movie in what movie????

[iSketchFender]

@MegaPierosgr Hi. It was used in the film Space Chimps.

[MegaPierosgr]

@iSketchFender Helo ok thanks a lot because i saw that film today but i didn't knew his title thanks a lot

[smokestackkk]

What genre would this be considered?

Amazing video, by the way. Nice work!

[iSketchFender]

@smokestackkk Hi there. They'd be classed as rock or alternate rock. Thanks for the kind comment :)

[babybootsie]

This is a great video, well done! I agree greatest track by BNL

[travellarry]

You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! They are loving it. We are going to watch it a million times, at least!

[iSketchFender]

@jonicole8 Hi there. I'm really glad your kids like the video, it means a lot to me that people enjoy the result of the time I spent doing it - when I was working on it I didn't dream it would get as many views! Many thanks for the kind comments :)

[travellarry]

@iSketchFender

great video to go with the song...good work

[OuttaTheAshes]

Fun, fun video! I'm going to share this one around that's for sure.

[CrackaJohn94]

You should send this to BNL :-O If that's possibe... 0.0

[iSketchFender]

@CrackaJohn94 Hi. BNL had it on their favorites list, not sure if they still do - can't see it. Was amazing that it came to their attention and that they liked it enough!

[amq1979]

[runningfatman12]

[snowman5443]

[iSketchFender]

@papisdestroyer Well I can :oP

[keshisgay]

@iSketchFender There's not enough love to go around!!!!

[13sirius13snape]

This is rather good. I was slightly worried to watch it because I thought it would be lame but it is actually good.

[maxwerx440]

I'm teaching English in Taiwan. My kinders can't get enough of this video! great work, thanks!

[lilblueidevil]

funny video

[GenerationX1984]

Not sure what inspired BNL to write this song. Frustration over junkmail perhaps? Silly.

[ComfortabIyNumb]

deep down hope this is more or less true.

someone is obsessed with ed and monkeys, what else would they send to him?

Also its fairly well known that Ed is an animal lover

[ZombieNekoChick]

ZOMG!!!!! I LURVVV THIS !!!!!!
