Stylophoniac: A Short Film by Brett Domino.

[Agogaraxis]

I took it all seriously because it was before my time!

[lemmontree1]

You're a genius!! :D

[3Deity]

What a lot of people don't realise it that if it wasn't for the Stylophone and the work of His Royal Highness Sir Rolf Lord Harris, the asteroid filmed over Norway in 1974 would have destroyed all life on Earth. Only the high frequency pressure wave of the Stylophone deflected the missile and saved us.

[clivedxb]

I was in a Stylophone band and appeared in the original 70's ads with Rolf.

[B4Bedoya]

Great video. Not only entertaining but also informative.

[alperloos]

This video is awesome. Kudos!

[illestxSTFU]

did you guys make this awkward on purpose?

[MrHalodude779]

I got the exact same stylophone for christmas!

[Dedamn666]

@MrHalodude779 amen, ive been recreating the theme song to eastenders to enhance my partners enjoyment of the television tv show while she watches it

[JMRK96]

this cant be for real, right ?

[MRdrummerkid12541]

I love how people think this is for real, Brett Domino isn't even his real name, guys he's just a character

[biffodio]

@MRdrummerkid12541 You're calling Brett Domino a liar? That's libel, son.

[kimildash]

The stylophone sent inspiration back in time to inspire the piano and pen.

[astroboirap]

what a lispin geeeeeeeeeeeeek

[TheHellothere6]

he got stylophony information

[0cool08]

I heard his voice and instantly thought Stewie... And yea guys this is a piss-take:)

[BENJOsf]

this is a joke right?

[Boujonzu]

Ummmmm, how are people not getting this is a joke.

[alperloos]

@Boujonzu I'm always shocked about how seldom people get sarcasm and/or irony.

[Boujonzu]

@alperloos Being on the internet long enough, Im used to it now I guess XD

[Mittau]

[Citation needed]....[CITATION NEEDED]! Oh god my inner nerd HURTS.

[roboticstardust]

The piano was created in 1739 and the pen in 1875, but nice try.

[TheComediatics]

@MaxxwellTheLegend Firebox.com, its british but there is an option to have it in dollars if ur american ... :)

[Parteque]

where in thew world do people speak like this?

[MaxxwellTheLegend]

WHERE CAN I BUY ONE OF THESE ?!

[5StarSwing]

I had no idea the ball point pen was based on a stylophone Ho de Ho

[roboticstardust]

@5StarSwing it wasn't the ballpoint pen was created in 1874, the stylophone was invented in 1914

[ManxLiam]

What a Geek!!!

[LordHillaryJoice]

@ManxLiam ... Don't ever talk about Brett Domino that way.

[TheMrSkittleism]

is that paul for mtv live? xD

[snotjello]

"Enjoy... it."

[snotjello]

"Invented by Paul Stylophone. Hence the name 'Stylophone'."

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[thefluffinator229]

"Effectively I can play with myself" Is this mean to be uber awkward

[TwasTheNargles]

This is a troll, right?

Oh, god, please let this be a troll.

[Sonik117]

@TwasTheNargles I'm sorry but how on earth do you not get this is a joke? In fact, how does anyone not understand that this is a joke? Are you all 12 or something?

[ultraye]

I liketh the way he thalk

[lovest1000]

He said the stylophone inspired the biro

[lovest1000]

Does he have a lisp

[lolsachichnur]

so effectively i can play with myself, right? :D:D

[nickel9696]

I NEED THOSE GREEN PANTS

[cocopops149]

@beepinhiemer That's the joke...

[appd0]

[SuperHamjam]

[Knutbsh]

[thing844]

You are great :D

[AlissaCollett]

[WhatTheFubarr]

He can play with his self!

[ablahblah54]

Anyone got WP7 here? Go look up "Grantophone" in the marketplace, to me, it's pretty much a software multi-touch (woo) stylophone with 4 octaves on it. LIKE?!

[superpizzaboy7]

he said play with myself lol

[PenguinCookies94]

what a great invention!

[jabes88]

his friend sounds like david firth

[LizisLOL]

:28 is James Monroe : )



[sshelle]

Ah, British humor, it so . . .

[kinkyspot]

The device is not made in 1914... and not made by someone called paul stylophone and no the piano was not made after it.. Piano was made in the early 18th century. Is this video some kind of joke or just entirely geeky done wrong?

Check wikipedia...

[BNSproductionsLTD]

@kinkyspot have you never heard of a sarcasm or joking

[dragonteeth2442]

Brett you're such a nerd and the good one at that

[TheLkvoice]

So that's what Gary Neville is doing now

[elzo2611]

such a nerdy video :L

[brw0044]

people are drab

[minigolfer101]

1:38 ha

[TheBrokenFrog]

the BIRO!! :D

[Fleskbit]

okey, i love it!

[Fleskbit]

restard

[EveryNina]

he lespers

[halloikbenbjorn]

I can play with myself xD

[Emza1007]

Point A- Kinetic energy cannot be conducted through plastic, and the stylus is plastic. Point B- It isn't kinetic energy anyway, because it is chemical energy stored in the batteries. Other than that, it was amazing.

P.S: I love Brett :) <3

[sugarrr96]

@Emza1007 plus ur hand moving is not kinetic energy its also chemical from the food u eat powering ur hand. but ur right, other than tht it was amazing :P

[sugoipop16]

@sugarrr96 actually it's an energy conversion from chemical to kinetic, thereby making it kinetic energy.

[sugarrr96]

@sugoipop16 :P my bad xD oh well, i was half right!

[DigitalCasm]

This is ridiculous.

[4angellic]

Did you just say that the stylophone inspired the piano...?

[keenly]

just ordered one for $25

[Cryonne]

Great! I think this old invention can well be a sort of main instrument

on electropop tracks today. 

[brw0044]

@Cryonne hahaha

[MrIcedVovo]

That wasn't a polyphonic texture. It was homophonic.

[brotherthew]

@MrIcedVovo If you listen from about 1:53 to 2:20, he adds successive composition, layering, and drops tones. Any one of these three definitions is fitting of polyphonic. Granted in modern culture, the use of simply dropping a tone by a fifth, octave, or whatever is considered monophonic, the simple fact that it creates a harmonic overtone, as the final note does, then it is closer in definition to polyphonic.

[brotherthew]

@MrIcedVovo

On a lighter note, most everything else in this video was a joke, and if you watch any of the Brett domino videos, I'm sure you'd notice that... Unless you are disturbingly like Simon Cowell anyhow. Saude mate!

[SamuelShandley]

I love it But your voice is quite irritating it sounds quite good

[domdom87]

@SamuelShandley the whole video was made amatuerish/nerdy on purpose

[SalPedi]

Wonderful!.....my question now is: I'd like to use this for learning guitar chords.

So, if you hit three notes simultaneously, could you then produce a CHORD?

Like, CEG ...or FACE ....or DEG ....

[oleary83]

"Enjoy...it"

[willplez]

Some serious knee-stroking at 1:28

[RockyBouldersmith]

haha Neat!

[MollyXD124]

[71sk8erdude]

The Stylophone is a miniature stylus-operated synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis

[SuperGibsonguy]

@71sk8erdude You obviously missed the joke here...

[Wilder941]

god this is awkward to watch

[buddude420]

hilarious...you should be in wes anderson's film.

[FirdausMalek]

1:40 "so,effectively,i can play with myself.is that right?"

then.."yeah"

[jacobblack18]

enjoy... it.

[AndyGadget]

Entertaining, but inaccurate.

The Stylophone actually originated before the Dawn of Time and was a sacred instrument of the Australian aboriginal people, along with the didgeridoo and the wobble-board.

These instruments were brought to Britain by the legendary Rolf Harris, whose name in the ancient language means "He who makes Strange Noises".

[MalquiLans]

It also inspired the development of the musical knitting needle. I don't know where I'd be without it, as I hate knitting

[meowces]

everyone should have a stylophone !!!!!!!!!!!

[westonj05]

What a guy!

[LaphroaigPhan]

Wow the commenters on here who take this seriously are as retarded as Brett acts on here. These things are cool you can get one for only $20 on amazon.com!

[kewlgai88]

Do you actually talk like that? Jus wonderin~

[TechXMarine]

@kewlgai88 Derp

[KayeRennings]

I need one.

[MeadowlakeRoad]

I love when Brett pulls a MisteryGuitarMan.

[GoodLookingLeo]

legend. brett and the stylophone.

[xoanix]

Brett can go back to wanking now!

[djaric]

I need one of these.

[Synapsenkitzler]

you rule! Great video. I don´t need any coffe no more now.

[4028151]

Who's a geek? don't be shy

[narson]

Brett what is wrong with you? All your facts on the Stylophone are completely untrue and your don't even demonstrate it well.

[tootshollie]

@narson Its a joke....?

[eilema4]

is there meant to be an image cos its just black throughout?

[psirou]

Irony. Not everyone gets it.

[waterfallsandrain]

The Stylophone also delivers babies, repairs roads, cooks both French and Inuit cuisines, and is responsible for the downfall of the Greek economy. Taken as a supplement, the Stylophone provides twice the iron and soluble fiber as raisins. The Stylophone performed live with The Kinks in Bolivia in 1951. The Stylophone is a registered member of the Green party. All our base are belong to The Stylophone.

[101wasa]

This guy says that the stylophone inspired many musical instruments known to us today including the piano, yet the modern day piano was known to be in existence by 1700, 200 years before the stylophone. I think Brett might be a bit off with his dates.

[waterfallsandrain]

@101wasa This is a humorous spoof.

[Sleystrongwe]

brett domino, being awkward since '08

[stylophonia]

Brett rocks!!!

[kaplanfx]

Oh hi, I didn't see you there, even though I clearly set up the camera and turned it on myself. Also you aren't really in the room, so I'm just talking to the camera... or really myself since there is no one else here.

[jumpingpanduh]

NEW MYSTERY GUITAR MAN!!!!!!!!!1111

[Feisty1967]

I used to have a Stylophone, wish I'd kept it.

[notyobs]

When I was a kid in the 70s, I plugged the earphone output of my Stylophone into the auxiliary input of an old Philips valve radio I'd been given. I played bits of music with left hand on the piano, right hand on my amplified Stylophone. Such fun.

[chironsynchronicity]

Sheer brilliance! 

[daniellassander]

lol funniest shit ever. nice video! 5/5

[mbrsart]

I'm pretty sure Bach composed for Stylophone.

[LimboShrimp]

@mbrsart

I'm pretty sure that is exactly correct.

[sarahfossey86]

I think i actually love you! haha mint :)

[raulisgay]

Haha Im sure half the people watching this thought they were for real. Stupid Yanks

[Fulltonic]

you stupid dumbfucks in the comments do not get the joke. they are pretending to be dorks.

[EpilepticElbow]

i want compilophone :O

[lullation13]

This is too good :)

[PoMpEy4p]

I bought a stylophone from hawkins bizarre today

[adam2009ftm]

@PoMpEy4p I did exactly the same thing! :)

[erinl400]

i went and told all of my friends the piano was influenced by the stylophone.... oh god

[ryanm100100]

@erinl400 lmfao you didn't actually believe that did you?

[Tha13iso]

this dude is so amazing :DD

[Tonage4]

wasteman

[samthehamcam]

wtf is he saying

[billtvshow]

Unexpectedly good intro, lol.

[Luhdishit]

Brett's foxy. and now I want a stylophone.

[Luhdishit]

Brett's foxy.

[kaiman99919]

1:39 lol

[kaiman99919]

[birdman3120]

@kaiman99919 He is acting.

[wakkarat]

Is he artistic or is he autistic?

[playerthe2nd]

Quality acting

[MFYFE4]

0:48 lets try that agian but this time on a elliptical

[PandaFlipz]

hahahhahahahahaha

[Tubbsterinator]

[EpilepticElbow]

LOLLLLLLL "Enjoy... it."

[Taderbaraeg]

i didn't know how to react to this video, so i just started to laugh my ass off! This video is fucking awesome, thank you Brett :)

[tiptophero]

the guy with slick hair is rubbing his knee 1.30

XD

[killer6468]

CURRENT TV i saw it on current

[Dicesofdarkness]

I bought a Stylophone, only because of YOU!! :D

[ThePesceman3]

fucking awesome ending

[lollylikestolol]

I love it. :). x.

[triclops8]

Does anyone know if there´s a difference in sound between the rebuild stylophone that actually can be bought in music stores nowadays and the old original one?

[Huzlijoe]

Maybe I got something wrong here but on many websites it says that the stylophone was invented by Brian Jarvis in 1967. ??

[birdman3120]

@Huzlijoe • It's a joke, which is why the dates are so badly wrong, the facts themselves are clearly wrong, they are acting badly on purpose, they have edited badly on purpose. Those aren't their real names, they are characters pretending to be nerds, hence the fake lisp. Brett Domino is one of Rob J Madin’s characters, part of the Brett Domino Trio.

[birdman3120]

@Huzlijoe I suggest watching some of their other videos, they are talented musically. Also have a look at Rocco La Bête, that is his other character that he has created recently.

[DjSeptimus]

@GGla45 well than you can fuck yourself. Fail troll has failed

[DrawDuster]

@DjSeptimus Obvious Man has pointed out the obvious.

[GGla45]

@DjSeptimus whoa, rude. Oh, by the way, you know that grammar thing you were on about "well than you can fuck yourself" isn't all too right... maybe you ment "well then..." but just a hunch... Happy Holidays Mr sad Clown....

[DjSeptimus]

@GGla45 yeah and maybe you meant "meant", this can go on forever and in the end you are still a loser

[GGla45]

@DjSeptimus maybe my 'a' doesn't work.... I certainly know yours is very busy. anyway I'm not a loser; the internet just told me I've won a pair of UGG boots, so HA.

On a lighter note, it appears someone else is researching '@Huzlijoe', to name and shame, what a douche.

[birdman3120]

@GGla45 Just ignore him; he is evidently a retard without the capability to understand humour. Arguing with him is like fighting an unarmed man. We all know how stupid he is now, thanks for pointing that out.

[GGla45]

@birdman3120 R.E.S.P.E.C.T

[Shazmanification]

best....actors.....ever....xD

[DjSeptimus]

@GGla45 I bet you fail at life just as bad as you fail at grammar

[GGla45]

@DjSeptimus you'd lose alot of money then...

[Fulltonic]

oh please, do MGMT!

[andybruv]

can you plug headphones into this?

[steviewo76]

Brilliant!!!!

Just looking down the list of comments and its a shame that some (thankfully for not all) of our friends across the Atlantic don't share our sense of humour.

Or are they really that fucking stupid they don't understand it. In fact some are so stupid I'm surprised they know how to put their socks on - let alone switch a computer on, log into youtube and post comments.

[ctpctp]

40 dislikes? I know that proportionally it's a small number, but what on earth is there to dislike about this video? It's completely brilliant!

[BDAShadow1]

sooo...do u play with yourself a lot. lol
