Johnny the Homicidal Maniac ~ Mad World

[TheMedusa1998]

i want it SOOO BAD

[CitlalliMcCartney]

why?...... yeah!!! this is beautiful!!! *-*

[ViewWatchGori19]

I write comics, too.

[combichrist19]

i love those comics and i love this song an the movie it came from donnie darko yey!

[killbilly701]

wow he resembles Dib allot

[KacieLuffsYou]

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful version of "mad world" I've ever heard.

[EmiriCapa]

Wow! Some of you people are just like a totally screwed, messed up antagonist who draws Happy Noodle Boy and has arguments with himself in the form of two Pillsbury Doughboys! DId i mention he kills his past girlfriends out of fear of relationship failure? -_- well congradulations.

[jena9956]

@EmiriCapa Sorry,

I meant to say:

So....

That's...

Good...?

That we're totally screwed, messed up antagonists...?

Cuz, I DO in fact have arguments with myself, just in the form of me, and my conscience.

[EmiriCapa]

@jena9956 not so much YOU as the people that go OMFG I AM SOOOOO MUCH LKE JOHNY I WANNA MARRY HIM and all that crap. I think you're cretive for jim-e.

[jena9956]

@EmiriCapa Thank you.

No one's seen her yet, i actually havent even told anyone about her, but i have notebook after notebook, and sketchbook after sketchbook, of drawings and fantasies.

[RandomOneOhOne]

@jena9956 we all do dont worry its not insane at all

[jena9956]

this is my favorite song. im like nny in a way. i have my own revenge fantasies, that i put into comics and books. her name is jim-e.[jimmy] shes schitzophrenic[spelling?], and her voice is her inspiration, for her elaborate killings.. shes very small, no more than 4 feet tall, and shes 13. jim-e enjoys playing with peoples minds and emotions, so that instead of directly killing them, they kill themselves. and she gets caught alot. but she doesnt care. shell escape soon anyway. right?

[OmgAKittyy]

@jena9956 you should make tht into a comic

[invadermiafuckyouall]

@OmgAKittyy

WUT?!?! this IS a comic. jthm! *facepalm* my god....

[perrottafamily1]

@invadermiafuckyouall He/she was replying to another comment...........

[invadermiafuckyouall]

@perrottafamily1 i rly gotta read this sh*t....

[perrottafamily1]

@invadermiafuckyouall Lol :P

[jena9956]

@jena9956 My grammar is awful in that, so sorry I didn't have enough characters:(

[invaderyama]

poor guy. i have no sympathy for anyone. just admeration becuase he gets up and walks out into the world. thats courage dude i admire courage.

[rakatanttttt]

actually if you read the comic i feel sick , i understand, that, the reason why nny kill is the same thing that want impulse devi to kill, the "nightmare" or crazines or whatever .that thing had a omnipotent power if you let it grow, and it try to releases somenthing much bigger ( the monster behind the wall ) that actually is nny himself, his own darkness , or, is a part of nny released to another entity much powerfull, that causes nny insomnia and it means the monster growing in you.

[xSallySkellingtonx1]

I loved this.I found it to be extremely beautiful.I can't actually describe how this made me feel.I had a dream once I was going to die.I didn't feel as concerned as the others I've had where others were going to die.Part of me wishes for insomnia,to avoid these dreams and to have a whole lot more free time on my hands.I wish for this,but alas,I know I need sleep.I haven't been getting much lately and I'm feeling strange.*sigh*I wish I could sleep right now.

[jena9956]

@xSallySkellingtonx1 i dont usually sleep.

its unimportant, because i can just sleep during math, if i need it.

[scottforever100]

WOW I FELL NNY PAIN IM EXACLY LIKE HIM GONE OBSEST WITH HOMICIDALS,NEVER WANT TO BE HERE,AND LISINING TO MY MIND

[EmiriCapa]

@scottforever100 don't we all listen to our minds? that's called thinking dude.

[BlackMagic8520]

Does anyone know what the Z? is from? I always loved that, I don't know why. Anyone know why he wears that?

[petegotyouatoaster]

@BlackMagic8520

it means question sleep, which is also the name of jhonen's website

[BlackMagic8520]

@petegotyouatoaster Does it really? that makes me really happy becuase i love that Z, and I also have insomnia :D thanks for sharing that with me

[TheMonsterAndy]

I just LOVE how much I'm like Nny. Running in circles. No where to hiide.

[OrangeParkaVideoz]

I'm pretty much just like Nny... Fucked up on the inside...

[ChozoBoy]

Live action JTHM trailer!

youtube. com/watch?v=qSF9VHxdJCA

[RockerChic997]

Actually signed in to respond to this video (Hadn't signed in, in months).

Defiantly one of my favorites, had always thought of Nny listening to this song.

And, indeed, we are all mad here. Mwahaha.

[lillyfrogpritchard]

definitely one of my favorite JtHM videos

[castielsangel19]

I only found out about JTHM a few weeks ago but I am in love with it.

[Moxiegirlsophie]

nice vid. i dunno how i got here tho, one minute i was listening to sonic rush music, and now i am watching jthm vids! :O

[Gal1up]

Where can I read through the comics; all of them? I really wish to, but don't know where to find them

[Legionfan454]

@Gal1up  You can get JTHM Directors Cut Graphic novel from Amazon,. You might also want to hunt at local or nearby book stores & comic shops

[Cynnthh]

we're ALL mad here.

[lillyfrogpritchard]

@Cynnthh :D

[xXAuthorAngelXx]

i adore this song...

i adore Nny (not in a fangirl way)...

i adore this video...

(I love Nny for our similarities(im not faking)I feel like him a lot... so depressed and lost... scared... I am making this my theme song.) (so many people cal me goth, but i am emo, emotional.)

[VibrationPeace]

I feel so bad for squee and Nny!

[44trinity]

You've gotten me obsessed with JTHM again. I love you <3 -cuts u up into pieces- now i eat xD

[derfpo]

what jthm issue was that @ 0:14 and 2.28?

[derfpo]

what jthm issue was that @ 0:14?

[Dsi25]

have i forgotten to tell you all that... we're all sick in our own way :(

[Dsi25]

yeah or ya can look up the soundtracks and stuff like that

[hinagreenhidared]

what is the comic at the end were he is shot by the phone?

[Dsi25]

17 people are going to be in Johnny's torture rooms

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

Did...He die at the end?

Does that happen all the time?

[Dsi25]

@Ipunchbeezintheface no he did not die but im spoiling you

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@Dsi25

How would that spoil me?

I don't know the comic really well.

And though it looks funny as hell, it also made me piss myself.

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@Dsi25

How would that spoil me?

I don't know the comic really well.

And though it looks funny as hell, it also made me piss myself.

Glad he's not dead though =D

[Dsi25]

@Ipunchbeezintheface ohhh i know what you're talking about, sorry. look up metal arms its awesome!

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@Dsi25

K thanks =D

[Dsi25]

@Ipunchbeezintheface hey dude have you looked up metal arms yet?

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@Dsi25

No not yet I can't find it, it's a website right?

My computer's dumb too but Idk.

[Dsi25]

@Ipunchbeezintheface just look it up on youtune and wikipiedia.

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@Dsi25

Aight.

[Ipunchbeezintheface]

@Dsi25

Yo is it supposed to take me to a video game glitch in the system walkthrough?

[whoLOVESgir]

Nny knows living will just end in death so why suffer another minute?

[cataleana76]

awwww i would give him a hug ^.^

[AnthraxProductionz]

every time I hear this song I cry :(

[13kruel]

I think if you'd ask for a hug. you'd have a chance of atleast getting a response.

or you'd just get knocked the fuck out by a blunt object. I would hug him, so many times in the comic I would just be like, "AWWW~ Nny! ):" I'd hug him so much.

I wouldn't wanna be killed tho. but... still, I'm a nny fan, so whaddaya expect.

[stazanshe]

Very well made! The "old film" effect adds to the feeling of the song.

[Dsi25]

Hey, Jhonen... i just wanted you to know is that i love your comic books, especially this one!!! i feel sad for Johnny. i wish i could help him. i mean he was so insane because of his forgotten past. being called Noodle Boy by childhood bullies for his skinnyness and his parents being killed by an evil man. Jhonen should make a second series showing us how Johnny finds this man and kills him in the end. oh my god!!! i thought of a story myself and i hope it goes that way

...i like grapes

[lilshawty814]

Shit, the best thing I ever did was buy the collective book.

I didn't even know what it was, I just saw it and said "hey, that looks cool" and WOAH.

Best, ever.

[4242564deathsdoor]

awww... :(...i love you nyy, don't kill yourself...kill me instead ;D

[squrrelscanfly]

i got the book!!!

[molly1002]

That was amazing! :3

[squrrelscanfly]

i want that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[squrrelscanfly]

i freaken need that comic

[ZaveWolfyWolf]

57,999 view o_o

[whoLOVESgir]

I feel like this everyday.

[Sufferingheart4life]

i love Nny!!!!!!!! And anyone know where i can buy the comics i've read a few but i cant find anymore online and idk if u can buy them at borders or get them at a library or book store. all ik is that i need to figure out where i can buy them at.

[xblackraccoonx]

@Sufferingheart4life I got JTHM Director's Cut, Squee, and both I Feel Sick s on Amazon. Try your local comic book store. You could probably find the individual comics there.

[ZaveWolfyWolf]

@Sufferingheart4life

Order them online. It's hard to find physical copies.

[blacknicktoonanime]

i like watch this vid every day i think jthm and this song are awsome you rock

[xblackraccoonx]

I feel like Nny constantly, except I haven't actually done anything. I've become a monster, obsessed with homicide, pyromania, and suicide.

I'm not evil,

I'm just messed up.

[chanchan773]

@xblackraccoonx We're all messed up my dear, it's all just a matter of who hides it the best.

[TheGorgorothSpire]

@xblackraccoonx Could you possibly have an obsessive personality disorder?

[whoLOVESgir]

@xblackraccoonx We all feel that way.

[theheretic133]

@xblackraccoonx you are not the only one

[xxkittyscratch496xx]

@xblackraccoonx ......heh..... and for a while i thought i was alone...

[Diffomega]

@xblackraccoonx Same here, except I accept the fact that I AM evil, that I AM a bad person, that's the very reason I hate myself, and that's the very reason I ain't suiciding, the dead can't feel pain.

[Dsi25]

@Diffomega if the dead cant feel pain then how come suiciding is bad. not that suiciding is good but ya know.

[Boolglunk]

@Diffomega Nobody is truly evil.

[Diffomega]

@Boolglunk I wish that was true...

[Boolglunk]

@Diffomega Alright then, what's so evil about you?

[viva9626]

@Boolglunk You're right. No one is truly good or evil, just neutral, and that's perfect.

[Menddraeda]

@xblackraccoonx me too ....my mom and her bf drive me INSANE and i dont even no my real dad and i just almost slit my own throat one time >.<

[ethanrb]

@xblackraccoonx i feel you

[Gal1up]

@xblackraccoonx You've become obsessed with the idea of Nny

[traxxassummit1001]

@xblackraccoonx Since when was Nny a pyromaniac? o__O

[raccoonpunch]

@xblackraccoonx I get what your saying. Nice name btw raccoons rock

[jena9956]

@xblackraccoonx i would thumbs up but theres 69 thumbs up an di dun wana ruin it\

XD

pweez escuz my perviness.

[southparkrulez15]

We all are in a mad world me you everyone is in sick twisted place we call world were if you cant make it ur basically fucked.Once in a while you feel like you just cant live like this were you just wanna give up.Nothing wrong with that its just a thing called life and we just have learn do deal with it.

[TheGIRROX]

Nny is a beautiful character becuz hes the symbolic tortured child. he was once an intelligent and promising individual but he was corupted by the evils of humanity and society as a whole and transformed into a murder machine,and his brain was transfigured into a psychological warzone

[NativeAmerican4Life]

I just bought the book yesterday and fell madly in love with it. Seriously, great comic. Love how thought-provoking it is =D

[ThunderthePoodle]

@NativeAmerican4Life

did he live or die?

[RiusLove]

@ThunderthePoodle He sort of did both, lol, either that or the whole thing was a dream. You have to read it to find out :)

[darkrose7797]

poor nny,damn you doughboys!i hate the fact that i know how he feels and through out everything i always seemed connected...-cries-

[HomicidalRavin]

i love Johnny for he speaks the truth we are all mad inside.

[MrERN777]

JHOHEN VAQUEZ FOR LIFE !

[BlackCatMew]

It's amazing to see what kind of thoughts videos like this can generate - especially in relation to a character that while violent also has a lot of deep reflections on life.

You know, sometimes I think people really write down some smart things on here. A lot of relfection and thought goes into some of these comments it seems. Yay intelligent discussion!

Kudos for this video. Very well done and thought provoking. =)

[jonthybond]

this isnt rhythm of love

[phantompersian]

This is like the theme to JTHM

[kimxraifan]

i love this. i was thinking about this then i got a question in my mind. what would happen if JTHM and Gaz from invader Zim teamed up. We would be screwed. O.O i have no clue why i was thinking about that during this video just thinking.....

[yalinegurl1]

@kimxraifan ha ha....We would all die

[rainbowchewynuggets]

it's very appealing one of the two strings in johnny's head. the one johnny's that isn't violent. the half that really contemplates existence and purpose. i've got a string like that in my head, too. but it breaks so often that i don't bother to tie it back up again.

[WildTopazCoyote]

I almost forgot that he played tic-tac-toe using his blood. XD

[OfficialJtHM]

This shows how Sad my life is.

[IQuestionSleepI]

Still surprised at the kind of feedback this has gotten. I was so young when I made this, but the comic really does still speak to me. I love reading your debates and opinions, so, keep it up.

[Gagerama]

@IQuestionSleepI perfect match jthm and mad world it is put together like a orchestra making a tribute to someone they care about i love these comics love this song, great vid. 

[iWiLLrEaChPeRfEcT]

@IQuestionSleepI I've liked JtHM since I was 13- and am now 18. I think this comic is timeless.

[819slayer]

@IQuestionSleepI how old r u

[hichixichifoeva]

You know... despite the fact that Nny brutally maims people there are a few who he wouldn't harm.. Devi may be one of them, Squee/Todd is deffinately one...

It's not like Johnny's competely heartless....he has one somewhere...deep, deep, deep, deep down inside of his skinny little 116 lbs body...

[yalinegurl1]

@hichixichifoeva

Yeah...even though he's a murderer, I sincerely doubt he's completely evil.

[WildTopazCoyote]

Wow, I'd thought that I would never say this about match ups but this song does fit together well.

[BLUYES422]

lulz he kill people

[WaxedLegs]

Man, I thought of doing something like this. But Mad World by Tears for Fears would've worked way better.

[LulsParody]

Well, Nny..... While he may brutally maim people... Is the victim here. Dont cha think? because his victims... asuming, in this case they arent going to hell. (if there was/ is a hell) are escape this shit of a world. But Nny, gets to stay behind. and be slaved to his addiction...... Its not as if he does this because its a hobby people. i think while no-one should attempt hugging the fellow. He is a good target for your sympathy.... unless your grandma's dying or something. if so, go be withher

[SadLittleMuffin]

Donnie Darko + JTHM = This beautiful video.~ :D

[lilshawty814]

These comments make me wonder what Nny would say if he ever saw them. He'd probably kill us all and feed our blood to Moose.

xD

[LulsParody]

Although you do feel sorry for the chap, especially with this touching music.... You would be murdered.... i hope you know that.... Infact he'd probably murder you just because your a You-tuber. To much gossip involved in this world online

[Cobainfreak18]

greatest book ever jhonen vasquez is the most brilliant writer on the face of this planet

[musecalliopeia]

Time for something different.... over the stars.

[musecalliopeia]

@Catyasha The first time I tried to read JTHM, I couldn't. It was too much. The second time happened fairly recently, after I was assaulted (no need to go into the graphic details), and I found myself angry in a way I'd never felt before - not hot-angry, but cold and almost dead-feeling inside. I picked up the book (the Director's Cut version) and read the foreword, and it *clicked*. I've read it several times now, and it's a fabulous cathartic experience.

[ExclusiveCheese]

Brilliant. You get a million dollars.

[BurningBlaze100]

Does he kill himself in the end? I`ve never really read the comics.

[drzignot]

@BurningBlaze100 Yeah, he totally does, but then he totally comes back to fuckin life! its sorta left up to personal interpretation. And remember, dont cry, he probably would have killed you!

[BurningBlaze100]

@drzignot LOL Man I really have to read those comics I've never read them before but they look really cool

[rudyardy26]

I think that if Nny liked you enough there would be a possibility of not being killed if there was some chance of meeting him cause if you do read the comics he has tried to kill himself out of plain undeniable depression from solitude. I myself would take the chance if I could.

[drzignot]

@rudyardy26 Ok, does the name DEVI come to mind? Taken in context, id say that the more Nny liked you the better your chances are of bein killed in a really really bad fuckin way! As a fucked up human worm baby who just sorta kinda likes bein alive, id recomend avoiding fictional characters who love wielding knifes with smiley faces for hilts!

[rudyardy26]

@drzignot Yes of coarse I do admit that the conclusion of the whole Nny and Devi relationship did take a turn for the worse he did as well try to say his regrets for what he did later on in the comic if you have read that far into the comic. And this maybe a spoiler but once he was released from the servitude of that monster behind the wall he did change in a way into a nicer disposition. And of coarse there is a very possible chance of dieing he still is a very admirable character in my books.

[RenaRyuguuChan]

@rudyardy26 Yeah, because he didn't like Devi or anything!! Not one bit! ;)

[AliciaClarkeArt]

this is the video where i first found out about JtHM...and now the video that made me buy the books! xD

[rudyardy26]

This to me is one of the saddest songs you can find but I still love it.

[SatanisaBeaverShark]

I heard this song and thought of Nny.

[tazira1]

@SatanisaBeaverShark me 2

[ZettyZetZet]

eppiiiicccc........

[ZettyZetZet]

epppiiiccc....

[blink182LIVES]

I give it 5/5 stars.For because the song fits Johnny,I love the comic,and I love this song so much

[gabivampire3]

@blink182LIVES really? he is 20!?

i think he was 17

[blink182LIVES]

@gabivampire3 well thats According to some people that hes 20

[tarjay35]

KICK ASS

[AerislovesCloud]

Bravo <3

[XxMindBrokenChildxX]

"i find it kinda funny i find it kinda sad i find dreams in which im dying are the best ive ever had" //_^ great song

[empop2014]

how old id johnny? i mean like he cant be any older than a teeager right? like 17ish maybe...?

[oOxXMoNIcAXxOo]

@empop2014 Most likely cause I think Jhonen, the creator of Johnny, said that most of it is of his high school experience and how that is how his life was, well not the killing part but you know, the teasing thing.

[Arokeya]

...he has to be old enough to have bought a house and to be on his own...maybe 21 or so

[SammyIsRandom]

@empop2014 At the time, Jhonen was 19 when the first comic was published so i would say Johnny would be around the age range of 19-21. Seems a bit more right, I think...

[6Miss6Talent6]

17ish... well either that or under 30.

[Tazer430641]

@empop2014 His age is indeterminate at best. . . he could be an immortal for all we know. Wouldn't put it past Vasquez. . .

[musecalliopeia]

@Tazer430641 Actually, Nny himself tries to kill himself several times, gets seen by cops performing all sorts of hideous things, but somehow never gets caught.... Then he accidentally kills himself "Dear Diary - I appear to be dead", goes to heaven, then to hell, then comes back to Earth.

[kishuismine27]

He's in his early 20s. I saw that somewhere (forgot where *WHY IS I SO DUMB!*)

[oOxXMoNIcAXxOo]

This video always makes me feel like I'm feeling Johnny's pain it isn't the best feeling but I can't help but look at the video everyday...

Love song btw I have it on my iPod.:]

[BotchStoleMyRamenDX]

Jthm is amaaaziiing.

So is this song. I've always loved it. :3

<3

Dangit. I've been acting like such a nerd lately. DX Oh, well.

[ragdollchan]

awesome vid :3

[Joby1980]

yea, and Gary Jules can thank Frank the Bunny for his fame

[Moocow42495]

hey ive heard a version of this song by tears for fears

[malteq]

The song is REM's cover of Gary Jule's Mad World.

Good cover.

Great comic.

Awesome times..

Thanks :)

[cdowg187]

The cover of a cover.... lol

[meshumekha]

Gary Jules' cover of Tears for Fears' Mad World. REM never touched the song. Gary Jules didn't write the song. He's a folk artist.

[InkVirus]

This isn't REM's cover. This is Gary Jules singing. and Gary Jules didn't make Mad World, Tears For Fears did :]

x

[blink182LIVES]

It's the version that he said for the Donnie Darko Movie.

[InkVirus]

Huh? Yes I know It's from Mad World I mean thats one of my favorite movies lol.

[AliceCure]

who sings this song?

[BellaChloe3]

Whoa, stunning video. And the song's beautiful too.
