The Peanut Vendor - Len Lye 1933

[Camphibious]

buy a bag of peanuts... before you sleep

[Apocanaut]

slender vendor

[Tenome187]

Maybe this film was the reason why they ended the prohibition back then in 1933.

So the people would be able to withstand this horror...

[CaptainThunderWolf]

"Buy a bag of peanuts now before you sleep"?

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck the monkey is Slender Man and he's going to kill me if I don't buy his peanuts.

[meetredmeat]

btw, does anyone know who sang this version of the song?

[zacharymlunsford]

I love that :D

[UserRED13]

Am I the only one who kind of found this hilarious from the beginning?

I mean, its expressions, everything. Great.

[TheDarkarnival]

I don't find this scary

[6Gunner]

I know it's hard to believe, but I just finished fapping to this video

[Roxxzor816]

fake and gay

[jheit2]

@Roxxzor816 *headdesk*

[Gravidtron]

There must have been some sort of fad for a dance that mimicked drying one's butt with a towel in the 30s and 40s, I keep seeing it in stuff like this (at 1:18 ), and Dumbo, and most pop culture from that era.

[meetredmeat]

The song is really catchy, I like it

[VideosAMSR]

actually its a good stop motion work for that year

[xSephironx]

This isn't scary. It's cute! :3

[lupusdirus]

Okay, 32 seconds was enough. That monkey puppet is gonna give me fucking nightmares.

[Swartztikacer]

What... the hell... did I just watch?

[SlayerEndX13]

Slender Man. 

[TheSquizzlet]

@SlayerEndX13 That brought you here too?

[SlayerEndX13]

@TheSquizzlet

...Yes. Watching this has convinced me that either there is no God, or Slender Man has infiltrated our reality with the intent to alter all our mental and physical forms into equally horrific Eldrich Abominations.

[glassXmoon]

Did people at that time really think of this as normal? Did they not find this creepy compared to real lilfe? o.o

[space11tumblrblog]

not scary at all. don't understand what's so creepy about it.

[glassXmoon]

@space11tumblrblog It wasn't supposed to be scary, you really thought it was scary??

[space11tumblrblog]

@glassXmoon asking if i thought it was scary after i said 'not scary at all'..

no but look at all the other comments

[BOBMATIONproductions]

peanut vendor is gone?

feels bad man.

[gordonthefree17]

Why the FUCK was this made?

[LunescaZanJari]

Why do I keep ending up in the wtf areas of youtube...?

[ClubdelosVoladores]

Ta ta ta ta ..ta taaa!

[Agar4g4r]

D:

[lidlindian]

@TheDogod because I think you understood something wrong. I wasn't manipulating you, wasn't getting my payback or anything

[lidlindian]

you go and fiddle??

[lidlindian]

Because you're not the first neither will you be the last one who is thrilled by my rollecoasters, stupid things, analysis and LSD-stuff and yes of course getting rid of being alone. So you mess up real bad, then follow through despite all the warning signs and advice (err like forget me and stuff) of what may happen and then when I really try to make something out of this shit without making any accusations (because in narnia you can always use an eraser if there's a good reason for that),,,,,

[lidlindian]

Vendor Lol are you like 100% sure about this thing? Really? Well here's now what I think - there are people who can be bought and people who can't.When you use your beautiful words, it's also buying (don't get me wrong it's nice). Inside you think oh boy she's a slut, a cheap tart, a liar... And all you say is she's perfect LOL. Like I wouldn't know you're trying to be extremely nice in fear of being rejected. So you did 95% of pure buying and only 5% of showing yourself.

[bennythejet116]

I have the weirdest boner right now...

[13garo31]

this is creepier than davey and goliath

[darkprince909]

@13garo31 oh my god i remember that show!!!

[Cricetina8]

Help ._.

[Andokool12]

The end of this url says poo

[MySweetParadigm]

@Andokool12 lmfao

[lurrinen]

Creepiest is those crackle sounds, it feels like the vendor is touching my eardrums

[FuranKomori]

I still wonder how it was suposed to end...

[ApocalypseForFree]

Awesome, just impressive they could make such animation in 1933

[bazooka93]

Creepy as Tim Burton's film.

[Bloddyfriend]

@bazooka93

Tim burton's film are not creepy.

[USGE3000]

Wonderful 

[momopaintballs]

>mfw Ed Poo

[ar2110302]

Pretty good for 1933. Ofc now we have pixar and everything must look smooth to you faggots.

[xAiiRPLANES]

What the fuck is this? Some sort of monkey-slenderman mix? o_____o

[hxcpunkkidLong]

SLENDER MAN!

[thisissomeguy]

QYZPwEdPoo

its in the top

Edpoo <- WUT

[strutsandfrets]

Would fap again

[JohnPortfolio2010]

Slender man's earliest form.

[thisissomeguy]

@JohnPortfolio2010

o.o

i love how im attacked by slenderman AND yes he is very tall, but heck this is like, even worse than slenderman

[coolgosh]

... creepy

[Dimassik131]

:3

[stockpiled7]

I like this seriously!

[stockpiled7]

@ihatecards ikr?

[ZMJ01]

thumbs up for the crazy palm tree that can dance :O

[TheAmazingJoLuCo]

Oh my god ..

When the puppets face appeared, my elbow hit the Ctrl button and as I scroll up and down, the page zoomed out.

I shit myself.

[beaconmike]

@TheAmazingJoLuCo

Again??

[BOBMATIONproductions]

i find this hard to fap too....

[Madoculos]

That's a pretty awesome song. Seriously. I like it.

[stockpiled7]

@Madoculos It is.

[LuckierKmart]

Why....

[LittleAyaChan]

The monkey wouldn't be that creepy at all if the limbs were in proportion, and if it didn't look like it starved to death too. Other than that, it would of been a cute little video.

[N00B2THAMAX]

I want to punch that monkeyman thing.

[TruEviLuKki]

NOPE



[lostwingman07]

Did they just not understand the difference between creepy and endearing 80 years ago? Or did they intend to fuel nightmares in small children?

[AdorablyRotten]

This is actually way more impressive than creepy, considering the stop motion of the time. But if Slenderman were an Organ Grinder, this would be his Dancing Monkey.

[YonDoll]

slender man looks good in beach wear

[1337Tazer]

Keep pressing 4 on your keyboard every 1.5 seconds then keep pressing 7 for 1 second while watching this video.

Those are the sights you see as Peanuts the monkey is in your room late at night raping you, ripping out your organs for drug money and cramming your intestines with his feces whilst running from the cops for major broad daylight sex offenses

[Tochy1]

@1337Tazer

wut

[GoobDude1992]

Slender Man.

[multistaceyk]

am i the only one who wasnt creeped out by it?

[mmecharlotte]

@multistaceyk I thought it was more funny than scary too.

[jackel193]

@multistaceyk i didn't think it was that bad, i mean if i saw it playing on a tv in a basement in silent hill or something i would be freaked out but this is odd not really creepy

[alvicious]

this songs like a song from the marx brothers

[jjvictor66]

this is just FUCKING SCARING

[lastride29]

those fucking arms...

[LittleMormonThtCould]

@lastride29 slendermonkey

[TheLeggyredhead]

Well that was a bit bloody creepy

[phaasch]

Young Freddie Kruger was never quite the same after he saw this.

[andXsoXitXis]

Buy a bag of peanuts now before you sleep? How did you know I was going to sleep, SlenderMonkey?

NOPE.jpg

[liirus]

buy a bag of peanuts before you sleep! buy a bag of peanuts before you sleep!

peaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuts!

[Canadianroadvirus]

Let me guess, his audience just didn't "get him" at the time. It's always the artists that suffer.

[hollowXwulff]

I love this. So much.

[theonlyzaphar]

this is actually pretty funny

[troopergirl]

Buy a bag of peanuts now before you sleep...and never wake up.

[kassandraalyssa]

Troy keeps sending me to weird videos. :O

[alvicious]

is this for real? it is amazing!

[ilovsaw]

Wat



[Mirikajikaari]

Slenderman is selling peanuts.

[ZrazorRozenstrauch]

@Mirikajikaari Slenderman was a lot more cheerful back in the 30s.

[Theawsomepwner]

PEEEEAAAANUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTSSSS­SSS

[sirenanathalie]

AMAZING!!! Sorry all you limited people.

[sirenanathalie]

AMAZING!!! Sorry all you limited people.

[missReliance]

Oh sweet god no

[KisameOwnsYouAll]

What. The FUCK.

[comickrew]

thefuckamiwatching.jpeg

[AlphaKlams]

Looks like the Slender Man likes peanuts...

[Scraplstolemyname]

I found it actually cute. Yet at the same time I feel I may be having some twisted nightmares tonight.

[jakas1018]

not really scary imo but very unsettling and interesting nonetheless

[Spiwak003]

Strangely eerie...

[urmomlol1999]

this is catchy as fuck haha

[thatwasrandom77]

what

[pepecachetes96]

why experimental animation? and strange end

[KarlFrederick19]

little known fact: this is actually the pilot episode of Robot Chicken

[shamfyre]

This isn't scary. I felt kind of uneasy at :50 when he suddenly jumps back into frame, but other than that, it's fine. It reminds of those old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movies. You know, the one with the Abominable Snowman and the Island of Lost Toys.

[StonedBob3]

psychospongebob sucks dick?

[ProfessorDemetri]

O_O

[TheAnimeZombie]

SLENDERMUPPET

[Parsnipaplenty]

The part where he kind of just kind of freezes at 0:28 scares the shit out of me every time.

[YaRlykonfuse]

I think this monkey is creepy as... damn it's creepier than slenderman. This is somehow just wrong DX

I like the palmtree though!

Also Slenderman has to be a mix between those two. Tall like the Palm, Arms like the monkey and the tail are the tentacles or something.

The earrings... they used them to fuse!

[BunnaySango]

The Slender Vender :D

[jonilized]

If you like Len Lye, check my latest video out. Len is a big inspiration for me.

Ohoy!

[TidusAbes]

I sorta love the singin lol

[DevinTClark]

THEY CALL HIM CUBAN PETE

[KevlarMoses]

Why is this so fucking creepy?

[SpyChiick]

This is the most fucking scary thing ever!

[KneeHighLove]

I think the peanut vendor is a pretty cool guy. Eh stretches his limbs and doesn't afraid of anything.

[CryMoar]

Nightmare Before Christmas, eat your heart out!

[Nickwoodward5]

My favorite part is when he sings.

[LittleMissNeedlez]

it reminds me of the abominable snowman from rudolf:)

[CandyCockroach]

It's not creepy, it's adorable!

[IllegalFunWithWasps]

MONKY WAS PHONE!

[chiangui24]

Something about that crazy monkey reminds me of Ted Williams. Probably that golden voice of his.

[zoehannaz]

I can't stop watching this

[BCJEntertainment247]

Mr. Peanut, protect me from this shit!

[jdthunder]

Why do I find this hysterical?

[applecross96]

made skills

[the00000]

so, how is this creepy?

[mintspace]

i like the music but the video is just way off!

[TessaSchouten]

wat

[divinelily]

I can't stop watching this. WHY CAN'T I STOP?

[johnmcar]

little know fact. this is the earliest episode of robot chicken in existence

[Allandrover]

@johnmcar Yeah it's very simliar to the Robot Chicken animations

[RoosterCogburnPhD]

@johnmcar That explains why it didn't make me laugh.

[EgotistaElegante]

But then who was puppet?

[DeadOnContact424]

@EgotistaElegante OH GOD!! DON'T REMIND ME!! THAT "WHO WAS PHONE" WAS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MY LIFE!!!

XDD

[sirmenonot]

i want some peanuts now!

[Bamargeraa]

THIS. SHIT. IS. FUCKING. CREEPY.

[Snoeret]

Slendermonkey only drinks tears from children with cancer

[maartstudent]

Just brilliant!

[SKNETwalter]

Directed by David Lynch, age 5.

[lewazebragod]

Nightmarish

[nicepunk00]

And that's why I hate monkeys.

[47smithstreetseries]

The singing is too good; can't be creepy.

[mindofdreck]

1:37 CRANK DAT SOULJA BOI

YOOOUUUUUU

[PrancingCornmuffins]

Uhm...Is he a monkey? "By a bag of peanuts now before you sleep"??

[YouRk0ed11]

welp , i'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.

[xellos88]

I dont get what's so creepy about it

[checoto156]

End of URL reads "poo"

[JBfanforlife]

@checoto156 lmao!

[Kiba3Af]

@checoto156 Its sure is... it suuree is...

[KennyStrife]

@checoto156 POO COMES FROM BUTTS =D

[BCJEntertainment247]

@checoto156 'Actually, it says "Ed Poo". WORST... NAME... EVER.

[JamestheCheetah]

Buy a bag of peanuts before I sleep huh? What will happen if I don't? Will Slendermonkey get me?

[monkey12121312]

I lol'd



[ZombieSloth2012]

I almost didn't recognize slenderman without his suit and tie =p

[bwarrior83]

LOL he is a monkey peanut vendor that sings.

[maxwade97]

completly freaked out when i saw this.

i dreamed this thing was in my room watching me...

[D3STRUKT0R99]

Back during the Great Depression, Slenderman was desperate for money and resorted to becoming a singing peanut vendor. truly a sign of how rough times were in the 1930s

[killerx9009]

@D3STRUKT0R99 and grew a tail?

[xcvfr57]

this is really cute :3

[cannibalarmy]

I honestly found it to be pretty cute. 

[x0ticShwty]

...this is not creepy at all -__- poossys

[HereMays]

WTF is this? A snuff film or something? WHAT THE HELL? was the person who made this on crack?

[shmagaman]

This is really, really, scary.

[kedrick06]

O_O

[NeptuneNetwork]

Slendermonkey and The Slendertree.

Dammit, what next, a Slenderspi- no. Not gonna finish that. That would just be the worst.

[TGCid20]

@NeptuneNetwork Slenderman as a dungeons and dragons template...fuck yes,thank you.

[xomgeeitsemilyyx]

Hey, times were tough. Slenderman had to make money somehow.

[CloudFan346]

Slenderman needed money so he agreed to do this.

[SpinningSpades]

haha this monkey can spin staff!

[RamzesXIIIFPPMZ]

Those were happy times for Slendy. There's no place for talented singers in world of financial crisis.

[HaioHaoi]

so slenderman is a monkey...

[Sersathias]

SM will kill Len for this blasphemy.

[pillowby]

Buy a bag of peanuts now, before you sleep? NO
