[tinkerbellys]

[TheEclipselov15]

1:43 Neil, you look REALLY REALLY HOT

[faselblaDer3te]

"A deep, heart-breaking social drama from the creator of such classics as "YOUTUBE VIDEO" or "YOUTUBE VIDEO 2". It's a film that takes the viewer on an emotional journey, a journey through life, love and melancholia, utterly amazing. The movie surprises with stunning graphics, aureate music and a Neil Cicierega ("The Prognosis", "Umbrellas", ...) at his best!

Be sure to watch this Film. Expect the unexpected."

[Baronvonkame]

the sad thing is if i dont go outside soon this'll be my story...

[dontcarekid]

[THEDANBALAN]

Internet Love ^_>

[legomovieman94]

I bet he didn't even TRY to escape before now. XD

[TheCmworld]

Boarders sucks! We have one here and all they fucking have is twilight! They don't have anything good. I go to hastings which also sucks becuase where I live there isn't one for another 306 miles. (I live in Texas). Either way, ignore my mindless rant.

[Keeltsies1000]

THE INTERNET Wtf?

[queenandcorgis]

[SelenaPhantasmo]

Breaking out of basements and scraping ice off car windows. The only real use for those Borders Reward cards.

[spikn22]

subliminal advertising for borders? we don't know what you mean!

[LexyWeasley]

the fridge says butts!!!!!!!!

[Neverhooder]

Who needs the outside world when you can experience everything on THE INTERNET!!!! *0*

[debsillman]

That kinda reminds me of Trey in the Shadow Children series.

(Except for the internet part)

[RascalFlattsBaby8908]

[oqueestoufazendoaqui]

"...escapes from his prison and discovers the wonders of the outside world." The Internet - OUTSIDE world? HAHAHA!

[ignisia]

It's like an ironic and nerdy version of Plato's Cave.

[iamafanofjb1234567]

lol thats a borders card he used to escape lol lol lol i cant stop loling

[SapphireLovesTheSea]

im gonna escape.

[chordsandcolour]

neil...

you''re hot.

[HarmonicaPlayingTrek]

how did neil get a credit card to open the door if hes been locked inside a basement for his life?

it was a Borders savings card. they just pop up randomly for no apparent reason because of the fractures of time and space.

[happygrrrr2]

I never see it before but you have nice lips.

[terrier136]

how did neil get a credit card to open the door if hes been locked inside a basement for his life?

[lyserg0zeroz]

[emovampess]

[cuppycakespazm]

...

i'll never be the same.

[PoloAquaLink]

Hahaha, "tht was easy"... lol!!! :P

[MeWmEwDoMiNaTeS]

just wondering, why do you have "butts" on your fridge?

[plainbond]

beware the internet niel

though it has many great things, it comes with many dangers such as viruses, stupid pop ups and youtube's garden-variety assholes

[animeluver810]

I love you.

[sevenamigops]

Yay! I have the Borders Rewards card too!

[WhistlexClapxLeader]

Ahahaha! I love the Tin Hat Trio! XD

Daisy bell is the best

[piropersonsunite08]

you should've done that 20 years ago

[nastybutler16]

Nothing like a little old school neil to keep my mind of that 4 page essay.

[zusjeszondernaam]

The Internet :p

[SimoneSi63]

THE INTERNET lol

[nickjoenkevinluvr]

omg, i luv how it says BUTTS on the fridge. how did u do the scene where u were walking up the stairs.

[bubblegumbum87]

i love you neil!!!!! *this is kinda borin.... im gonna escape* xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[MiyraLoelle]

Neil: So, I'm um trapped a dark room - in a basement.. um, yeah I know that sounds weird, but I'm used to it. It's been egh, twenty years?

LOL GENIUS

[LimaAvideoluva]

LOL I LOVE this vid!!! Apart from Neil's total hotness, he was "trapped" for like 20 years and did not escape until just then! That was so funny when he saw the internet lol and he was trapped by the internet! BRAVO!!!!! BROVO!!!!! UR SO HOT!!!!!

[WyvernFlames]

I love how BUTTS is spelled out on the fridge.

[abrightside]

Lmao besides his lips, the main thing of this video is that he escaped from the basement only to be caught by the internet. He "discovers the wonders of the outside world"... XD

[kellkweezy]

Very clever.

[cadaverkid7]

i love the last song

[damnregrets13]

oh neil.

ur so cute in this vid!

[PirateElleWench]

I've been here for twenty years.

So now I'm going to escape.

what?!?

[Efronlover14]

Wow, you have sexy lips. haha. THE INTERNET. haha

[dougiedannyluv]

i think i'm in love with ur hair...

<3 lol

[Lendm]

Oooh, adorableness.

[swercluap]

ha ha ha lolling refridgerator butts

[bigburritobob]

Nice hair.

I love the walk up the stairs, it's kinda Johnny Depp-ish.

[Ungeniusman]

Hahahaha, BUTTS.

[StachaHof]

The magnets say butts. =]

[ninjakitty88]

"immana escape."

[fuglydouche]

Borders Rewards card... Best part. You keep me in a job.

[TakeAGuessIfYouCan]

Is it just me, or in the last 10 seconds (the closeup of Neil's face), he looked kinda like Ryan Ross?

[ninaicuhi]

He has nice lips....XD LOL

[TakeAGuessIfYouCan]

Mmm.. VERY nice lips. xD

[GaaraLaTobiSpaztard]

No it isn't just you, He really does look like Ryan Ross. Lol.

[sallyfishkin]

this will always be my favorite of neil's videos.

[thehefercow]

lol, your fridge has butts on it!

[darkincinerater]

you know wats werd ther r actally people locked in basements in the world

[ElderKingpin]

the door wasnt even locked lol

[HeartnSoulSong]

I know! I've said it before and I'll say it again. While most people agree on their opinion on NC (yeah, sure, he's not hideous) it is so NOT necessary to talk about it that much. Besides, it is way freaky when people are arguing over who's going to have his babies. Hello? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HIM? I seriously doubt this.

I advise Neil to put on the comment filter. Where you have to read the comments first. Also, can the YouTube monitors do some, uh, housecleaning with these things? Just saying...

[themattsta94]

anyone else notice that the letters on the refrigerator spells butts? lol

[dhwcda]

hehe

[eeveerocks101]

i noticed.

[AkioUyoku]

I noticed too

[greendayrockdude]

THE INTERNET

and 'the wonders of the outside world'

... tartar sauce. XD

he does make me giggle, that neil. :)

[JessieMeteor]

B-but....I like nails! :O

[HeartnSoulSong]

I feel as though someone else must agree with my next statement. While pretty much every girl on YouTube (fine, I'll admit it; myself included) thinks NC is better-than-average-looking, must we say so in every comment? I assume (even though it's dangerous to do so; it makes an A-S-S out of U and M-E) that it boosts NC's ego and he probably likes a) being called "SOOO HOT" and b) comments referring to his lips, I just...um...feel awkward about it. Does anyone else agree?

[jlrinsc1995]

I comletely agree.

NC is better than most, but we don't have to shout it to the world.

[KittyKatKeeper]

I love Neil. Especially his lips, I wish I was the Internet ;)

[animegrl5]

hahaha you used a borders rewards card lol!

[briandaRAWR]

hahahah, funny!

internet is lovee(:

[ccalmsunset]

Hahahaha, that was funny. Especially the part where you fall in love with the internet and you aren't supposed to know what it even is. xD

[whyizat]

Good use of a Borders Card. xD

[abaltovtin]

Hahahah...Why was that so funny?!
