The Animator and the Seat

[ShadowHeartsVeteran]

Creepy, but hilarious; nice job! Impressive work on the facial expressions.

[FutureMillennium]

Incredibly professional looking. I'm impressed

[Artelmis]

Dang Eric. nice work.

even from 2007, it manages to not look overly dated. I'm impressed.

[MrSmiley258]

Duhhrretos - love your stuff Eric, miss the old school Mall Monkeys. Blacktastic!

[kiwisonlegend007]

lol the computers name is DUHH

[jimmyfoo3000]

Outstanding voice work! The vocal expressions were hysterical! "What do you want from meeeee..."

[EricDrobile]

@jimmyfoo3000 Hey thanks...most people tell me they hate the voice ;)

[xindy90]

lol the chair reminds me of some kind of rapist : D its great!

[moninblue]

love it, typical animator with belly and working at night :) i kind of know how it feels

[JuangaPro]

... i dont get it.. is the chair sexually abusing the annimator?

[erailea]

if you were an animator/studying animation you would understand XD

[mikopop]

Needs moar bear looping

[wulfnstein1985]

@mikopop agreed, a nice long loop of the dancing bear would be awesome :D

[realcatgirllover]

excellent work!

[usaexpressmoving]

That was quite funny and entertaining.

[Sindrijo]

rofl... "raped" !

[AGRACUTA]

From one animator to another, I sincerely say GOOD WORK!

Take a look at my reel and tell me what you think if you don't mind.

Keep it up!

[RetardsandDynamite]

Good job dude!

[1shakey1]

That! was gay.

[liam552]

the ending is a little lame...so he sits there for eternity clicking...?

[ABFan19]

i bet Drobile got top marks for this piece!

[Coatchawa]

Chair rapes him after movie

[madjidboss]

[croc97]

LOL XD Raep!!!!!!!

[katgirl7]

[xethulium]

What a great animation, i wish i had a chair like that so that i could finish my animations too lol

[h92801]

[videomakerz45]

that seat is gay

[xXHARRISONXx89]

this is way cool

[TeddySea]

Very good!

regards

[Erev0s]

Nah...he is raped by the system he is in. The chair just symbolizes it. Work Work Work....

I think that is what i understood from the video. Nice work.

[DaDude9211]

That's totally it man.

[blankityblank12]

Was he just raped by a chair???

[sorariku09x]

what...what was the point of it? it was good, but...

[rujikin]

The point was to pass a college class

[sorariku09x]

oooooo

[sorariku09x]

oooooo

[jolle4real]

it's a funny thing to imagine an animator - "tied to his chair" in order to do some stuff at the computer - workin on that movie :D

kinda "the action (making the movie) explains the movie"... dunno if i'm dead wrong, but it seems to me there was an animator asking himself "why?" - and the answer is the movie...

[sorariku09x]

okay..

[chrisbob0]

1:54) lol that chair is really getting it on :D

[thegreasytoothpick]

lol

[thagreatzadenko]

what...tha fuck...was that?

[tomasino747]

oh ok, well if thats the case then my bad...i cant really be bothered to repost my comment so...nice animation, i guess :)

[tomasino747]

Hmmm...i made a comment on this video yesterday, but now it seems to have mysteriously disappeared...

c'mon now, if you can't take constructive criticism then what's the point of posting up a video where thousands of people can see it?

[dissinitbig]

Youtube messes up sometimes.

[OnkelFrame]

lol, very nice!

[TheExiledLeader]

Its like chair rape...

[darkmachete]

I feel sorry for the guy. It was funny when the chair smacked him >XD

[madamepeabody]

hahahahah I like when he cries

[Jaylawtheman]

Ah, animating late at night. I know how that goes. ;)

[eridtg]

i dont like the guys voice

[LordEmilous]

ROFL at "I used to like bears" and than the dancing bear on screen hahahaha xD

[anrina]

that was adequately creepy! gj

[1TheEdiot1]

MAAAAAN!! i'm afraid of chairs now :(

[LightAge2007]

I would just smash the computer piss off the chair

[DesertP4nk]

cool :)

[SexyOmaru]

hah thats funny

[KatepRules]

OMG! I'm gonna have nightmares now!!

hahahaha

[BrianShaneRushton]

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

[1957Rotu]

I rwad about this cartoon in Variety magazine. Apparently, it's a metaphor for Mitt Romney's atruggle with the American voting public in the recent primaries.

[pilgrim57]

Um -- Mitt never cried as far as I know. Are ya sure Hilary wasn't the inspiration?

[tomamil]

i need such a chair

[V1ND1CAT0R]

very cool, pretty funny. I feel sorry for the animator, being held captive my chairs.

[EasytoonGuy]

Haha, lol. Great idea! I enjoyed it.

[sardynox]

wow lol

[TeeDub2005]

haha that was awesome!

[banion5]

Lovely, Eric! Great work, top to bottom. I hope you were graded favorably.

Not to say anything against your voice work (you're quite good ;), I'd like to offer my services in that realm if ever you should need them. I can't wait to see more!

[Spiralworm]

lol. This was hilarious.

[nelcome]

i like it. it is funny and i hope that very person who see this will like it.

[Zacks0Lil0Pixi]

uh, it makes me want to burn my nice soft comfy chair...cuz i don't want that to happen to me. SCARY

[nickmusic12]

[sunshinex14]

[onimoleb]

[ComputerGeek3310]

[obefiend]

i've been following this animation development for quite sometime on DA. well done sir

[SpikeTepes]

zOMFG!!!!! that chair fuck that guy!!! since now i sit in the floor

[lerinnenatalia]

what the hell does this mean?

[lerinnenatalia]

ok after trying to learn MAYA, it makes me sick watching this becuz everything looks so good. lol! I gave up after one semester, so im sticking to traditional animation. Hey check out the magic paintbrush on youtube!

[UnholySavagery]

I use Maya all the time it's really not that hard...

[lerinnenatalia]

yea okay how long have you beeen using it. If ur a computer nerd with no life then I guess its not that hard. I however dont want to spend all my time trying to rig models and shit. Im sure you know what ur doing but that doesnt mean everyone else does, or even cares that much about it.

[UnholySavagery]

Only good things come from hard work. You can't just expect it to do what you want using brain waves... I mean how did you think it would work? do you really think theres a better way to do it? or did you just think Duhh me want make pretty things.

[ajperezjillian]

im so green. . . .

[blindcacophony]

OMG! I remember the original short in 2d! I can't believe they've finally brought it round full circle. Yes!!

[a1drac7]

ROFL PURE GENIUS!!!!!

[dennislyon]

very goodddd

[B3457]

"I used to like bears...."

*Ridiculous bear dancing on screen*

Bahahah that was pretty awesome.

[cheeztrap]

LOL!!! LOL! That's riiight! Get to work! lol. That chair is really giving him a lesson hehe. That sounded like Seth Green but it's probably not. Whatever company did this one is very talented, as we can all see.

[NintendoArielle]

Heh, I thought it was pretty funny! I liked the style, too!

I've always thought those chairs were up to no good!

[SOMENAMEOK]

.... the position the chair + him were in in the last shot was kinda icky :p...

[invis648]

Eric Drobile?! Dude... You killed Mall Monkeys! That was an excellent piece of work! I always looked forward to reading the new episode. <3

[YousefAB]

[jagman24]

I love the voice. At first I thought it was Jim Gaffigan. Great animation but the ending could've been better.

[DarrkHammer]

that guy got raped by a chair

[waldoman7]

yeah that was just fucked up. Maybe if I was an animater I'd take some meaning from it, but it's freaky no matter how you look at it.

[doggymanner]

:| Really gay

[Ubershield]

The last 5 seconds... s'prize buttseckz.

[colochemist]

my money is one this guy being a complete disgusting loser that will ultimately pay for any sex he ever might get. poor hooker...

[Xandaman]

*looks at own chair and says silent prayer*

[MooCartoon]

Congrats on the front page Eric! I watched all your progress on this project on DevArt, the end result is really amazing! Great job.

[Ch4osSh4dow]

[megagamer777]

[HipHopBandicoot]

[JGTaveras]

Rape!

[humilde7777]

[JGTaveras]

It's "Bon" dude.

[GeneralAnimator]

lol! "you can' escape from the work"

[briankloc]

Still amazing after seeing it a million times. Great work.

[lbpmc]

chair rape LOL

[scorpioTNT]

!if your the one i think this is!!! you came a very long way. your hand drawn animations were and still are one of my most favorite on newgrounds..and the first one that always comes to mind first. is parasite betty:). im proud that you managed to make this animation from handdrawn to 3d!!!! very great!

[mideno]

maybe I don't need a new chair in my office

[llydecke]

GO ERIC

ringling misses you.

:)

[Baldino92]

00:20 - 00:30 = WIN!

[niiidar]

so true. The best in the whole video!

[jimmyrabbitte]

The thing with a lot of school animation projects is that there's no dialogue allowed. This short demonstrates why speech can enhance film immeasurably when used correctly. I couldn't imagine Chunk without that voice. The rest of it was a lot of fun as well, especially in the mocking of the always-there bear animation.

[Oratles]

nice work

paradoxal

[billybobby800]

lol the chairs a whore lol and the guy turns out to be the victim rofl

awsome job too

[bonkernator]

lol

[Ronni430]

Omg weird short clip animation the funkiest i ever seen :/ but actually pretty good 4 stars rating from me.

[Lisergik]

very good work!

[C05488]

disturbing...

[jaimebakulic86]

this video is slightly sexual.

[IPunchaUInTheFace]

ERIC! I didn't know you had a YT account! D:

When I visited RCAD, I just HAD to sit down and wait for your animation before I went on the tour. ^__^
