  • nice! totally love the fun they have with good jams and they never ruin em'.

  • ahhhh 240 p such a pleasure

  • whata nice song 

  • i swear the boy @0:23 right after the girl is the guy fron the black keys music video: Tighten Up

  • why was I not informed of the existence of this song before now? I want answers.

  • You've got some fucking talent. Some better equipment and funding this video would have looked as impressive as any.

  • god this is crap!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is the coolest warpigs cover I have ever heard!!!!

  • I like this because you could actually imagine CAKE making a video like this

  • mejor no hablar de ciertas cosas

  • great black sabbath cover

  • Great video.

  • my brothers in this video! shorter kid on the far right :P at 1:00

  • Im gonna kidnap him!

  • yea well my cousin is the director :P

  • why this b/w behind- the scens- cuts?

    they don`t add anything to that story.

  • The director is the politician. The guy watching all the kids is the general, and all of the chess players are really the pawns.

    If you watch the cuts and listen at the same time, it makes sense.

  • Canada won

  • It would have been rrrrreeeeaaaalllyyy cool if when they started fighting and the table cloths got pulled off the tables they were playing chess on turned out to be coffins instead of tables.

  • This is really amazing. It makes me want to get into film. x3

  • Very nice camera work. Someone suggested it's a little repetitive to watch people play chess for the length of the video. What I propose, to mix it up, are shots of the band performing the song. I know this is a contest and therefore not a realistic recommendation. But it would be so so so awesome.

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! very nice!

  • very nice

  • ...during eight years of the G. W.Bush fiasco this very song replaced Hail To The Chief...

  • The little boy does sound rather mature in the end, doesn't he?

  • The chess idea was hilarious at first, then the video got boring. Wish I could offer more constructive criticism.

  • The video was honestly pretty boring for the most part. I understand the "treating people just like pawns in chess" theme, but it needed something else to keep it from just being a yawner. Maybe a dual plotline - another story cut between scenes of the chess tournament, paralleling the two, showing what the chess represents. Because the video is pretty weak until the end (which, by the way, was great. Wonderful ending.)

  • They Cake-a-fied this classic. How do they do it?

  • You guys know its the actual song, not another person singing, right?

  • i LOVE this cover! Then again, I just love CAKE! Nice work on the vid Mike.

  • thats sweet

  • Ozzy osbourne(black sabbath) wrote one of the best songs ever but i have to say he got as raped by cake this cover is 10x better !!!!

    lol.ozzy got beat up by a 10 yaer old chess player!!cake-Kickes Ass

  • dude i like this cover, its not as heavy and badass as the original but its a pretty good cover, atleast it wasnt made by the fall out boy queers

  • yeah, lol

  • Yo I was in this video, and I got into PCVS for the drama program. Rock on.

  • ok i go to that school where it was filmed....and all i have to say is...WTF WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!?!?!?

  • Since when is Cake not a band? Dumbass

  • Off-topic, but you're lame.

  • your sir, have won.

  • and who said watchin nerds fight isn't fun?!?!?!?

  • Just wondering, is this an actual movie, or is there just the music video? (if there isn't already, this'd be really cool as a film.. all be it its chess)oh, yea, 5/5

  • Im diggin the gold chain on the chubby kid! He's cool!

  • My son would have made a perfect addition to this video!!!

  • Awesome video! 5 stars fer sure!!!

  • I thought this vid was AMAZING! I was so upset to hear i did not win! My fav part is at the end when Connor is about to punch Ned in the face...and BAM! check mate. Loved it!

  • WEll... to tell you the truth I was very bothered by the fact that it cut out to the director person. It pretty much ruined the video.

    I think I see why - He is the "Master Person" behind it or something. but I dont agree with it.

    I think if the video was complete without the stupid cut outs it would be about ten times better.

  • No way, it makes the message. It's saying that we are all just pawns to the Director, or the figurehead of a country. We may feel like we are in control, and that we are moving the pieces, but even if we are moving the pieces... he is moving us, so do we really have any power?

  • 1)i was featured in that video

    2)i am the curly haired kid

    3)i am only in approximately 3 secs. of this vid. as i unfortunately had to leave early

    4)it is, i find, quite entertaining

  • Hey, That 3seconds was very entertaining, you were the one who playing against jackson? cause that one part is my fav of the whole thing lol

  • This is a great video, for one of the greatest bands in the world. Bravo Bravo MikeMoring!!!

  • Not that I doubt you or anything, but you look really young for a 27 year old. ;-)

  • Oooh... the last couple of seconds confirmed for me that this was indeed a Very Good Video. Great work!

  • did they pick a winner yet?

  • oh man, that was awesome, mike!

  • I detect a little sarcasm.

  • Hey! Kay i <3 this video and think it should win! i rele like when the curly guy takes out one of the blond guys rooks then goes like "ha" and then blonde dude wins the game and makes the funny face. very nice. also that ones girls snarl at the beeg. teehee made me alugh. also very good look from guy who was gonna get punched at end.

  • As always, Mike, you blow my mind. Spectacular job by all involved.

  • This was really cool. It was great to see someone actually going out and shooting something, well done. Presumably, the behind the scenes stuff was some kind of commentary on the fact that recent war efforts have been fought as much in the media as they have on the battlefield, but it did interrupt the narrative of the video for me. The eruption of violence toward the end came at just the right time, as I was starting to get a little bored. One of the best I've seen so far, without doubt.

  • The kids were cool in this vid, well done for actually getting out there and making something. Didn't like the behind the scenes bits, I can see why they're there but I think it would have been more interesting without them. Nice ending, apart from the 'Checkmate' line.

  • Ohmygosh I loved it. You did a great job! I love the different angles with the pieces and such. It was amazing.

  • p.s. ZotzOnABagel- can't wait for you to see that a competitor himself gave Mike a great compliment.

  • sorry if you don't agree with my opinion, i just didn't like the video. I take it you know nothing about the contest. If you did then you would KNOW that i didn't make a video to enter into the contest. Sounds to me like you are close to the director or you wounldn't have gotten so PISSED by my comment.

  • I've never posted a comment on here, but I guess there's a first time for everything.

    Between this video and Will's Examiner article, I think I can safely say I have EXTREMELY talented friends. Excellent, Mike, as always.

  • I can't stop watching this video.

  • Very good job from everyone involved. I think everyone was great. Lots of good character from the actors. The whole thing is so witty. I wish someone can explain to me why the end went back to the guy saying checkmate. Send me a message and tell me Mike.

  • I like it!

  • Let them eat CAKE. I'M BLOWN AWAY. Hope this wins. So happy my camera was part of this. WAY TO GO Mike.

  • waste of time & money

  • The competition is beginning to heat up...

  • I had to figure out YouTube's whole account system just to say this, but it was so very much worth it:

    Incredible!!!

    (and you deserved every single one of those exclamation marks)

    I would detail my favourite moments, but every time I watch the video, I come up with two or three more. Suffice it to say that it's all brilliant.

  • ya i was in this. The song is awsome to. I am one of the hockey people in it and im also at the front of the line as we walk in and then we play chess.

  • ya i was definatly in that. I was on the hockey fighters and the person at the front of the line walkingin

  • and this video and its maker rock.

  • this video is destroying my will to compete at anything, as it should.

  • Unless someone comes out with something pretty damn good... this could be our winner here.
