MC Lars - This Gigantic Robot Kills [HD]

[emanuel2cool1]

awesomeness

[LukeWarmHand]

This takes me back to highschool.

[GRDPNT]

Operation Ivy reference, heyo!

[thedddesert]

The amount of references in this song( and video) is worthy of ball tripping.

[PuddinPop100]

@OpenGatorade2Gerfers It's from MC Lars' album The Graduate.

[noodleX2d996]

This song always reminds me of equius and aradia lol

[PuddinPop100]

@kluddemon His name is MC Bat Commander. And yes.

[OpenGatorade2Gerfers]

What's the cat at 2:15 from?

[HighKingDubby]

What's that hand symbol mean at 1:08 ?

[heytherebrah]

@HighKingDubby it's for the Aquabats -- if you look up their mascot, it's face resembles that hand symbol a ton.

[whatupmaaan]

gwen stefani is still amazing. nothing wrong with branching out.

[datDSM]

I Love The Photo Of The Guy From Our Newest Album Ever by Five Iron Frenzy <3 :D

[HighKingDubby]

@datDSM I knew it was from FIF but I didn't know if it was originally made by them. Do you know? I thought that was cool as well.

[datDSM]

@HighKingDubby AT least I know it straight from that album cover but i mean maybe they got it from something else ya know

[TheSleepingSleuth]

I'm not a big fan of mc lars but I love ska.

This is fantastic!

[amhRUSHBAT]

You know, it's scary how I'm only 15, an I know most of these bands by heart. SKA FOREVER!

[Lars6448]

HAHAHA :D :D Look at my NAME!!! :D :D :D

[Lightavion]

I have the discographies of every ska band named in this song.

[Svochak78]

O.C. Supertones!

[MrMisseva]

PLEASE make more ska videos!!!!!!!!!!!

[kluddemon]

oh just read the description... yeah it is lmao

[kluddemon]

is the chorus the lead singer from the aquabats?

[ImHereForPie]

@kluddemon yep thats him!

[PuddinPop100]

Op Ivy reference from-the-get-go.

[bacon767]

nerdcore is music cut out for me mc frontalot and mc lars

[modemguy]

Bat Commander! Aquacadets assemble! :D

[bosshog7169]

I wish this guy wasn't opening for MC Chris. I guess I'll treat his set like an intermission between Megaran and Mc Chris. Have a cig. This guys voice is too annoying

[moviestim]

@bosshog7169 You like MC Chris and you think Lars' voice is annoying!?!?!?!?!?! Lmao you weirdo!

[aeroboss23]

@bosshog7169 are u high?

[iced1138]

I miss Ska, they hardly play it on the radio here anymore.

[leogray146]

fuck!....this is about my album collection:)

[weslee54]

That bassline at 1:15

[bartikusskaguy]

i love this song i started jr high in 97 it was a great time. i got way into ska in about 01. there was still a pretty strong scene in utah county at the time. it was fun i miss it alot.

[dediovnull]

I like the part with the giant robot.

[DeOhYouGe]

Ska, the most powerfull antidepressant available without a prescription.

[whatupmaaan]

since when was rapping with pharrell a bad thing?

[Je5s3r]

@whatupmaaan Since forever



[whatupmaaan]

@Je5s3r elaborate.

[Stateoftention]

everyone does

[Bhitch92]

God, I miss the 90's

[BEERnard13]

55962 views?

[fisherkyle91]

I like that the robot is a Animated Soundwave and that I own it.

[Sk8cait]

lol LOVE IT!!!! Ive seen 80% of the bands, this is great and makes me smile. :)

[thegreatjohnzo]

At 0m57s, the face is from a Five Iron Frenzy album cover. (Our Newest Album Ever)

[tridentextra]

this song is the story of my life.

[demoniccaller]

ska can't be killed

just try kill it and see how far you get

[TwoToneDolfi]

6 people think ska is ded.. It's not though.

[Zomboooy]

Dude, Tim! Your animation kicks ass! Your hard work in the "studio" really paid off bro!

[wsprog]

It was cool talking to this guy in the line at warped

[TheTolczyk]

Ska is not dead!

[dwesling]

brilliant!!!



[Eirots96969696]

I like how they put part of 1234,1234 by Streetlight at the end, but I am disappointed they didn't mention Catch 22 or One Cool Guy. >.>

[metalflame]

I miss the OC. I live here, and everyone's into powerviolence. Ska's still here, but it's more of a minority than it should be. Guess I'll build a robot to make everyone listen to my music then. Brb.

[CrymsonNite2]

Ska is awesome

[Shoyrcloud]

@TheSketchBat

I noticed that as well. Maybe they used it because it's got a really awesome cover. The album art for Floating Eye is probably my favorite.

[vzakrunk]

yup.

[mrkeny644]

hell yeah we got a robot wut dos r&b got?

a little guy with a bless :D

[AlienHunter9p]

Believe it or not but my name is Lars in real life so this is kinda AWSOME!!

[SoCalDork]

@CGrayArea Seriously! SL's awesome!

[SoCalDork]

LOVE this song!

[LongRangeBullet]

THIS GIGANTIC ROBOT KILLS

He's gonna come down the block, he's gonna fire at will.

He's got a cannon on his shoulder and a laser in his hand.

He's gonna win the day for Billy, make the city understand!

[tbcdymond]

Is that Animated Soundwave I see? Mad props!

[TheSketchBat]

I like how they used The Floating Eye Of Death instead of The Aquabats!'s Ska albums... XD

[TheSketchBat]

I am a Ska-Kid, and I approve this message.

[LeOverMayCash]

JESUS!!! that had to take forevery to make!!!!!!! someones got time on there hand!!!

[Terminator276]

I wish i had lived my teen years through the 90's.

[MEGAxBROSKI]

@Terminator276 music is shit now isnt it?

[freakomation]

@Terminator276 i know right. STUPID 2000's!

[danartbarn]

@Terminator276 Yeah, you really do. I miss them.

[mysterysk814]

@Terminator276 Yes.. yes you do! It was the shit

[inndica]

@Terminator276 i'm sorry. it was nice. love this song.

[AlphaAlec]

An example of how you don't need super advanced digital animation to make an excellent and great looking video!

[Sleepybooda]

featuring a cameo appearance by Soundwave!

[CGrayArea]

The greatest music video I have ever seen, not just 'yeah i like the music and the animations were cool.' THIS SHIT WAS BANANAS! Must've taken at least a month to get all of the pictures cut out and get the stop motions going. Storyboarding alone must've been a crazy process with all this wild shit going on. I've tried my hand at stop motion a few times. that shit is some HARD STUFF. Props to you Lars and to whoever you hired to help out with the video.

[moviestim]

@CGrayArea Thanks so much, your comment really means a lot to me and Lars!

[no1more1nicknames]

Anyone want to talk about the epicness of ska?

1 (307) 363-0574

[BigNorman14]

This may sound stupid to some folks here, but what is Ska?

[pspfreak1000]

SSSKKKAAAA IISSS NNNOOOOTTTT DDDDEEEEAAAAADDDD!!!! (loud screaming voice)

[Craiggardd]

@pspfreak1000 When was the last GOOD ska album released? Like 8 years ago. If it's not dead then it is in a coma

[CGrayArea]

@Craiggardd Check out Suburban Legends - Going On Tour. Came out fairly recently. If that isn't good ska music, I don't know what is.

[mygreenguns1]

Op Ivy at the start :D

[OddRobb]

Rancid reference?

[ryokomocha]

@OddRobb

"With it's black coat, white shoes, black hat, set to attack... "

Rancid, Time Bomb

[OddRobb]

@ryokomocha i like dat song

[pleaseflamemessageme]

I love SKA.. Less Than Jake Warped Tour 2011 here I come. Not to mention Mc Lars too :)

[MyVidsAreSUPERLame]

WHOOOOOOOOO!!! THE OC SUPERTONES!!! MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!! AND FIF! SKA'S NOT DEAD!

[MyVidsAreSUPERLame]

WHOOOOOOOOO!!! THE OC SUPERTONES!!! MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!

[plubbert]

Is the 90's coming back? With rad guys making music like this it deffinetly should! Pop-punk! Ska! Spiked hair! T-shirts with logos that aren't splattered all over the place!!! 

[xchodgson]

is the hand symbol at @1:08 a reference to something? I don't know enough about ska to make that connection...

[moviestim]

@xchodgson It a hand sign that Aquabats' fans throw up at concerts.

[MrNeelsun]

Ironic that MC Bat Commander is on a song about ringing ska back to california. The Aquabats bailed a long ass time ago.

[Sustanaelle]

this song makes me smile so much!!!!!!!!!!!! going to see mc lars at slam dunk if all goes to plan :)

[Sustanaelle]

this is not the greatest song i the world..... but its a damn awsome tribute!!!!!!

[BluShadesX]

this video needs 100000000000000 views

[ryokomocha]

I still can't get over how amazing this song is, and how even MORE amazing the video is. It is seriously stupefying. My only grief is that there wasn't a Reel Big Fish album cover in amongst the others, RBF being my favorite band and all, but seeing as how they actually get mentioned in the song itself I guess I can deal with the oversight, heh.

MC Lars is mind-numbingly rad.

[moviestim]

@ryokomocha I had totally printed out the cover for Turn the radio off but at the last minute I didn't use it. :( Sorry for not including it.

[ryokomocha]

@moviestim

Hey man, considering how absolutely INSANELY good this video is, you don't have a THING to be sorry about! You just be proud of it! RBF got an actual mention in the song, but you gave some other great bands their time in the spotlight in the video, and I actually think that's pretty damn cool of you. I just had to nitpick because RBF is one of my two favorite bands. You made really good choices with all the bands you put in, and I bet it wasn't easy. Keep up he AMAZING work! (:

[ryokomocha]

@moviestim

Also, the Operation Ivy guy you put in at the very beginning of the notebook is just TOTALLY RAD!  Little touches like that, Wesley Willis' face, and the lady from the Goldfinger album, are what make this video awesome beyond words. You shouldn't be sorry about anything, man, you should just be damn proud of this work of art (:

[moviestim]

@ryokomocha THANKS SO MUCH! :)

[BlackDahliaMurder214]

@ryokomocha Actually it was Super Rad if we're staying on terms of Ska

[ryokomocha]

@BlackDahliaMurder214

Excellent point, I didn't even think of that. Can't pass up the chance to use an Aquabats reference when it comes up! Good catch. (:

It wasn't just rad, it was Super Rad Super Rad Super Rad!!!

[brickfungus]

FIF!!!

[Sustanaelle]

luv the ska quotes nad the operation ivy logo !!!

[Jatc93]

Loved the Rejected reference xD

[TheProjectpenpal]

[LegendGHT]

Ska Isn't dead. but now the OC is.

[Albido100]

Very fucking cool. Props 

[tepochcalli]

@GromTastic Man, that's one of the biggest contrasts in music! One is depressive as hell, the other one the most cheerful and happy kind of music :O Care to explain how it happened?

[Miketavion]

Now if the ska robot could move over to NJ to kill the Jersey Shore kids, that would be excellent, I'm sick of all these people who are obsessed with that crap...4th wave ska revolution is needed now...

[milkboy94]

@Miketavion word.

[wfp4639]

hemroids

[mvetter]

Andrew baby I love you :>

[freakomation]

nice animation did you make it it is awesome

[shadowslayer876]

why does this barely have little over 22k views this is a really good song and video

[kmccarran]

This video is literally the definition of awesome. Look it up, they just changed it. It is the story of my life and it would be fantastic if we could all just make a giant ska robot to kill all the non-skankers. Many props.

[phsycicmonkeys]

"Ska is not ded"

[NintendoVG13]

Lol, they used Animated Soundwave in the stop motion part where the robot attacks the city.

[paxrock]

I miss the 90's now. The O.C. Supertones were a constant soundtrack for me back then.

[piperian396]

This video reminds me of something from KaBlaam. Now I miss the 90's even more.

[Boncomics]

1:51 better than Transformers 2 or GOZILLA 2000 (USA).

[StevenAteYourDogs]

this is the 27th best thing iv`e ever seen

[rickmassaCORE]

ilovethis :)

[TheZaneyman]

I love this song i had no idea they made a video its even better now xDD

[mrkeny644]

[ZachTheHedgehog]

The only reason I watched this was for The Aquabats!...

[Killerbabyseal]

goldfinger still rock

[compnerd2797]

SKA IS NOT DEAD!!

[StevenAteYourDogs]

@compnerd2797 actually it is

[OrgasmandTea]

This is the most awesome thing I have seen and heard in a while.

[Charge1305]

FIF

[cwilcox16]

lol, 4 people don't know how to make robots in their parents garage xD

[justapodcast]

he said im sick of the hills haha =) i member goldfinger.

[DonoNobody]

absolutely amazing my friend...i didnt believe this song could get any better...however adding the video made it that much more awesome...

[guitarsr0ck87]

it needs RBF though :P

[jwb4291]

Any chance of a Hurrican Fresh music video?

[JManHobbs]

I like a lot of music and my taste spans a bunch of genres but if I could only listen to one genre for the rest of time it'd be Ska, without a doubt.

[Indi91181]

LOVE ITS! nice on Lars. Glad you decided to release it.I promise before you come back I'll have my ink at least started. just had major money probs this year. xx

[Ikki1604]

I want one

[aaroncareymusic]

I love the animation! How long did it take to make? Awesome!

[Rudy4President]

Soooooooooooooooo awesome :D

[jazzfusionforall]

2:19 Don Hertzfeldt rejected cartoons reference. Awesome.

[CHEESEMONKEY92]

SKA

IS

NOT

DED

!

[ArchDuke519]

This is my new anthem, and takes me back to high school. Ska is not dead!!

[alakazam9891]

this video is the fuel to start the ska revival fire

[andyottito]

catchy little song. mostly love this for all the 90's ska references and for showcasing a little bit of my favorite, five iron frenzy!

[xabaras]

Love that it has MC Bat Commander.

[Joey31608]

Too much win for one video.

[GreenDirector]

Love skanking along to this song

[thepappytube]

Super win :)

[fallenhero9207]

If only Streetlight were represented D: However they were not a 90's ska band

[sangisan]

bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[intoxicatedninja]

wow best video yet

[bobjr94]

Excellent video & song. WIll it be on the new SL album or MC Lars album ?

[horrisrecords]

@bobjr94 It's out on my "This Gigantic Robot Kills" record. :)

[KingAlanI]

@horrisrecords well, your "21 Concepts" track is on The Graduate, not to mention Flogging Molly's "Swagger" (on Drunken Lullabies), and Led Zeppelin's "Houses Of The Holy" (on Physical Graffiti), so sometimes the title track *is* on the wrong album. Much love, Lars, still rocks.

[rickmassaCORE]

@KingAlanI 21 concepts is a song, the 21 concepts album is supposed to be the "failed songs" mentioned in 21 concepts.

[KingAlanI]

@rickmassaCORE I do know that, I'm just saying that even though it's a title track, it still made sense to ask what album it was from. :)

[CAMALANGE]

After catching all the ska references, I definitely caught the Don Hertzfeldt "Rejected" reference. MC Lars, you're a fantastic individual.

[Oglio]

WOW! MC Lars does it again. Nice work Tim Thompson. Love the Wesley Willis art and the Wesley cameo! Mesmerizing!!!

[moviestim]

Thank you! :)

[Oglio]

WOW! MC Lars does it again. Nice work Tim Thompson. Mesmerizing!!!

[bakukorg]

black coat, white shoes, black hat yeah

[20RH10]

This is, firstly, FREAKING AWESOME. It's the PERFECT video for the song, it makes you look totally cool, and therefore me (cause I'm so punk rock) for listening to you

CORRECT GRAMMAR IS NOT DEAD

[marissasuperstar]

YES!!!!!

[Oglio]

Total fun! Tim Thompson is amazing with these kind of videos!
