Gimme the Mermaid

[ruleram1]

Teacher played this in class, awkward moment. I was surprised I was the only one dying of laughter.

[nakedrabbit]

@ruleram1 SUCCESS AGAIN!  Well, at least you and the instructor are on board! Can't help the dull ones.

[ProtegeTuype]

Wtf is that crap?

[Scyle92]

This is fucking blowing my mind.

[92451721921892113]

Craig Baldwin owns

[92451721921892113]

this is like over 10 years old now isnt it?

[TelevisionTrash]

This video is great, I especially love how you sampled a Black Flag tune. Excellent!

[Anything2bCool]

The lip synching on Aerial is really good

[Demendred1605]

So you made this then? Damn great man! Kudos' all around

[Sandypantsthegreat]

You are a swell guy. I wish I could be your friend.

[AwesomeAnnabelle]

WHAT THE HECK!!!!!

[wargasm58]

OMG this reminds me of doin mushrooms

[arch331]

Quite possibly one of the best copyright send-ups.

PS,

I recognized that anti-drug PSA on 0:25

[LogSNES]

I love this shit

[darkbit1001]

Smoke this video. WTF? Am I still sleep?

[wickedfeylady]

Way to push the envelope i love it

[ryubaks]

Ariel is gonna sue your ass.

[StudentLoanGestapo]

For Anything.

Forever.

[tryburger]

I can't believe after a couple of years I finally realize you had this video here. I didn't even know you were part of it.

I haven't seen this since it was on the Illegal Art website.

[FrankRabbit600]

I saw this around the time it was uploaded. Seeing it again, I gotta admit, the weirdest video on Youtube.

[WingedVampireWolf]

P.S., 0:32, WHER THE HECK IS THAT FROM?!?!? it looks SOOOO familliar!!!

[WingedVampireWolf]

please dont take offence from this, but this reminds me A LOT like the daydream i had when i stayed awake for 1 week stright. XD lol 5/5 + Fave.

[oogaboogan]

please dont take offense from this?

what the fuck is there to be offended about?

your pussy-footing has offended me!

[WingedVampireWolf]

wtf is ur problem! im just tryin to be polite, much unlike u!

[odalisca08]

Excellent as always... quality and innovation

[bangthatdrumb]

will this video help me get girls?

[SamIamb]

This video is an effing brilliant rendering of Negativland's sound collage.

[nvalidscreename]

i just can't see how a world that makes such wonderful things... could be bad

[topchris]

What the fuck

[visentin4]

Is this a Youtube Poop?

[nakedrabbit]

What is a YouTube Poop?

[coprographia]

baby don't hurt me

[guidotnb]

Read the video description.

[92451721921892113]

@visentin4 this was made before youtube poops

copyright nightmares own

[ksol1460]

If this is your first taste of Negativland, imagine an audio-only version of this and if that appeals to you, tune into KPFA (has an internet audio stream) Thursday late nights. Now then -- Who is the unpleasant looking guy running around carrying the smaller unpleasant looking guy?

[ChatterMic]

Such an awsome group.

Maybe He's Right

[ChatterMic]

Have to love Negativland.

[SamIamb]

That was a DAMN FINE video. I'm impressed.

[mattkayecomedy]

Yes.

Yes, thank you.

[speedemon6]

Great Video, i just didn't like the ending so much, too musical.

[fifthaingel]

sorta concur

-hero

[chappie624]

Whats this about? its wierd. I don't get it.

[Screwhammmer]

Lawyers have taken away many more rights and freedoms than they have protected.

[UberBeavis]

BEST VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!

[Yamamanama]

Do you know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?

[dhatudharma]

this sentence is self referential

[nueve26k]

Very weird and random.

[hodgepodgebuddhajoy]

This is incredible. Go media activism! :D

[visentin4]

With wich program did you made it?

[nakedrabbit]

Lots of software, but chiefly Adobe After Effects.

[Pikapoo1]

This is so weird. This was made with disney equipment when noboy was looking? Wow...

[lookoutbeeeelllooow]

Dude, I used to love the little mermaid... but I'll never see her the same way again now, lol

[evilstuffs]

so, im gonna have some nightmares tonight:)

[redflags123]

Who said you need acid to take a good trip? Excellent use of cgi, gifted work of editing (both video and audio) and lucid story line. This is brilliant satire.

I loved the talking Indian deity! The little Mermaid deserves an Oscar for this perfomance.

[brahmancurry]

ahah

[rexnotorious]

tuly amazing!

[kingdomheartsprinces]

this scares me...O_o

[jamesdt1980]

then you're essentially scared of yourself. right?

[54spiritedwill54]

This is really rather brilliant.

[vladxtheximpaler]

Trippy. So much better than Drawn Together.

[chichigirrl2]

my brain jus melted

[felixdekat]

The lawyer is a jew. Ive argued with jewish lawyers before and they know how to argue. And dont argue with me, or Ill sue your asses!

[SLYchvillian]

Acid + Disney = fun

[Dremeli]

Ariel is sexy.

[Gollon666]

negativland is so awesome

[zerolohland]

dude this is the most awesome video on fucking youtube

-hero

[KABOODLE562]

Wtf?

[psychicbooty]

I'm trying to find out who the guy is behind the voice saying "I'm going to sue your ass." Who's the older man's face singing "Gimme Gimmie Gimme".

Long live N(C)!

[nakedrabbit]

The "singer" is David Wills, AKA "The Weatherman," a member of Negativland. The lawyer on the phone is unknown to me, but Negativland know who he is.

[tackynonsense]

the consequences of drugs + pretentiousness.

[zabbydoo]

wicked dude, wicked!

[chickpantsareforguys]

hahahaha i love the Gimme Gimme Gimme cover

[RapSpecter40]

i love random nonsense

[RapSpecter40]

Fukin spammer

[henryyork]

an inane visual orgy. and i kinda love it!

[maxbeachguy]

This is really rather brilliant.

[mukaikof]

this is cute, thnx for the video

<3

[geoffos42]

Why do the god-botherers have to pitch in all the time? Listen guys, if you want to go around talking to your imaginary friends, then do so; but don't you dare try to impede upon my freedom of speech with your "religious" rantings. There is no god or God, so wake up and smell the fucking roses!

[filmzRcool]

awesome,great collection of images!

[inuyashakag]

I am a strong believer in freedom of speech, expression of oneself and sharing knowledge. But I also believe in respecting other people's beliefs even if you do not share the same point of view and I dont see this video that to me appears degrade a belief system doing that.

[s1nful]

I disagree, this video does not particularly demean any religion. Freedom of speech is paramount and because of this, in my opinion, many people have already said many demeaning things about many religions. Comparably speaking this does not stand out as offensive.

[inuyashakag]

i find this video inappropriate. why are religous figures being used. it is demeaning to whole group of people.

[richardmartinezfilms]

I find you inappropriate.

[veryverybadwolf]

It's called freedom of expression you should try it sometime.

[dfrydendall]

Why don't you go hide in a hole somewhere. You won't be affended there.

[adamy]

Amazing. Also i never imagined i'd hear negativeland cover blackflag

[mariana2006757]

♠_♠

[pinksh33p]

crazy

[scorpiooooooh]

This video is so freakin wierd, a mind job, kinda like a hand job for the brain. The amount of creativity and editing that went into this is amazing.

[mrcroft300]

??????????what the fuck

[TheCircusFolk]

Wow...just wow...

[yourworstnightmare51]

That was just.... Weird.

[psyctor]

very interesting video i must say!

[pasquali23]

i like the opening and closing sequences the best. mostly

[rafaelnoexiste]

that's the best video on youtube EVER

[aquaticmermaid]

u can say that again! (to the comment below)

[CRSCMBNTN]

That is so wierd...

[pissysteve]

Here is a fan-made video for "The Bottom Line".

Copy & paste this into the youtube url:

watch?v=6J5JVQkBQdw

[Mrbrat]

I saw this at a small art show in Massachusetts

It was quite amazing

[superkungfufetusman]

I saw the Negativland guy give a talk years ago and he showed this video, among many others. Thanks!

[cupcakes99]

COOL dig it daddy o!

[InuyashaFanatic13]

O.O I actutally understood that. I dunno why...

But all that awesome graphics could be put to better use.

[arieldepp]

witsh program did you use to make it ???????

i love this !!! it's sick

[nakedrabbit]

It's mostly After Effects.

[Fullhousefan0]

Strange but good video! What made you name is Gimme the Mermaid and who was the voice of Ariel on this video? Why was he yelling and being mad? Send me the answer back please! Great Video!

[MarlantheGoddess]

Ah...at last. Crazy Wisdom. The movie. "Mermaid" improves on "F*ck 'em if they can't take a joke"! It helped turn my pain into gold. Brilliant. Genius. Thank you, Tim.

[jordinyc]

WHO IS THE SMILING HEAD DUDE WITH THE GLASSES! Does anyone know? It's been bugging me since I first saw this weird clip years ago. Is he in Negativland? Is that the face of the lawyer yelling "I own it or I control it!"? Is he some random guy from a tv clip? It's driving me nuts.

[plutodrvv]

I love your Bizaar! Je suis trez echante mon petit frere! Look into my eyes- wrangler wrangler... and the white knight is talking backwards...

[botchbud]

reminds me of larry carlson

[CoopDawgpwns]

uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....­.....huh?

[MissMerlyn]

i dont understand

[cupcakes99]

It's like art for your soul.... (finger snap) dig it dady! like coolsville! I like it!

[CmdrCryptOS]

God, that's just messed up! But I love it!

Now I know what its like to see things if i were insane.

[deeshedee]

The letter "U" and the numeral "2"

[Gaaraheart6575]

WTF WHAT ISTHIS? FUNNY BUT WEIRD.

[athiraa]

...WTF?

Meanie

[rottencakes]

i'm brainwashed O.O

[sorvea1]

it's like a train wreck... I don't want to see it yet I can't look away...

[joshlee1090]

There is a thin line between a genius and a mad man. You sir, are a mad man. Let me learn from you.

[MEthePHANTOM]

god the mermaid is a slut she is wearing like nothing

[xXCricket15Xx]

WTF is this??? I'm lost

[jasin95]

the skeletons and sum of the other ppl look like they're the model for skating in video-games

[hulkpowersam]

BLACK FLAG GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE

[KitsuneOokami]

WTF?!

[McSpooner]

Ok, what in the name of God does this have to do with anything? This is completely retarded.

[fastair]

yeah baby!

[Zunabi]

WHAT THE F IS THIS??

[maggielockard]

whaa???

[Papanel90]

Funny!!

Drougs!!

[anandanaga999]

I wonder if Howard Stern thinks this as funny as we all should. HA!

[harpdiva59]

This is great. Along the same lines is the Mickey Mouse head silhouette and crossbones, with the words 'avoid monoculture'.

[bapyou]

Whoaaaaaa! Holy shit! What the fuck was that?! Show that to someone on acid. FUCK! HOLY SHIT! WHAT WAS THAT? Hoo!

[shereehill]

Loved the sound design.

[Barbarowemissu]

It wouldnt get past friggin' loading on my computer

[anandanaga999]

OOh La La That's the Good Shit.

[Tanuki11]

Wow, good. Is it about you wanting a copyrighted character or something?

[lawnwin]

i dont know what to say. Ariel is hardcore

[133tn00b]

you are doing way better here than on google. congrats.

[EddieAPoe]

whoaaaaa tripppy! thank god i'm not on drugs!

[coolhotlinks]

WOWzanola!! Great work.

[ReverieNightengale]

O...my.... That was quite creative and different. Loved "The Little Mermaid" when I was a kid, and that gave me some...different perspectives. Nicely done video.

[ReverieNightengale]

Wow. I loved "The Little Mermaid" when I was a kid...so that was...strange.... I think I officially know what it feels like to be on drugs, without ever having been on drugs. Wow.

[Crosisborg]

very strange

[RKZED]

totally freak..i love

[mdwallin]

haha thats cool

gimme gimme gimme

[coolhotlinks]

Wowzerz!

[brandynbaldwin]

the guy who made this used to work for disney as an animator and they wouldn't let him use his own cartoons.

[nakedrabbit]

I'm the guy who made it, and yes, I did work for Disney. It's not true that they would not let me "use" my own cartoons! I directed for them for three years!

[drpinky]

oh,you little sneak.

[dfrydendall]

HAHAHAHA... WRONG!

[Chivopuro]

This video... i don't know if it's supposed to have any meaning whatsoever. But what I seem to read in it, is an expression of the Western world's obsession over copy right and the pricks that are turned out, again and again in result of capitalist greed. Not to say that I'm some sort of crazy radicalist lefty or anything who just likes to say that Capitalism is evil over and over again with nothing to back hin/herself up. This is just how i interpret the video.

[BeccaBoopeh100]

How exsiting :]

[BNInfoSource]

this is twisted artistic genius

[ferryferret]

I don't get it. At all.

[VampiraAma]

very...disturbing....and confusing..I LOVE IT!!

[ellekitty89]

that's orrible!You don't understand nothing!!!

What is this shit???

Naked Rabbit...Please stop with this shit!

[marginallyclean]

You don't understand anything, either.

[Lady4699]

This video is great!

[sharkitty]

It's like a bad acid trip

[emeraldgal3600]

this is... strange... yet different. the oart where they start singing "part of yur world" and ariel gets pissed makes sense, but nothing else really does. its really good.

[monnie110]

What didn't you understand? The cats teaching about copyright. The sample from Blag Flag's Gimme Gimme is pretty self explanatory.

[SailorHaruka66]

And I thought this hppy new year thing I saw was bad....but this is just sad.

[japanesekittenmew]

horrible why did u make this stupid thing

[pinchetta]

Alphakid has it right! these motherf---er corporations and there over-reaching copyright laws must be turned back!! & the law is screwing us all

[alphakid42]

This is a brilliant vid. This is exactly what intellectual property has come to. Global corps have patentent ancient remedies from India as their own and the human geneome as well. Corporations are simply out of control. F*ck globalization.

[aelita909]

nakedrabbit reely is the best hilarious moovy makr out there (at leest in youtube)ive seen *so far* 3 of their moovees and ther awsum!

o yea PERFECTO ona theesa one miamora!*italian* <33333

[ellekitty89]
