The Residents- The Gingerbread Man

[TaoDuckie]

When Christmas rolls around, I think I might stay away from Gingerbread. 

[EffingL]

I... I am the weaver.

[designermite]

Where were The Residents when The Brothers Grimm needed them?

[vaf88]

this sounds like the stuff my burmese friends listen to

[plasticjesus108]

FUCKING AWESOME! I should just quit trying. Everytime I post something 1000 people have already been there and done that! HAHAHA. You bastards! Thanks again, Wonderful post.

[FlametopFred]

i think this is one of their best

[moldvox]

one thing I don like about these posts is... peoples opinions.

[malditeloki1]

was this the whole video on the CDROM? because there are several characters missing from the actual CD listing.

[bigboxbobby2]

The Residents should make a full length movie.

[EverDownward]

I would watch it. No doubt. I'd pay full price to see a movie completely directed and written by The Residents.

But God....think of the nightmares I would have later on that night! Sounds freaking amazing!!!

[plasticjesus108]

FIND ESKIMO by the Residents

[Jcolinsol]

Brilliant

[77TalkingHead77]

That was actually amazing.

[hewscook]

i very much enjoyed that

[EverDownward]

The Gingerbread Man

No longer for children, comes in Adult psyches, now!!

[3LliOtTD0GG123]

THIS IS CREEPY AS FUCK

[MrMonsterstiffy]

@3LliOtTD0GG123 as it should be...

[sexycoollevesque]

... wow...

[catrileo68]

Thanks!

[catrileo68]

hello, which album is this song from?

thanks

[playgroundslug]

That was fucking disturbing.

[BlackRose13579]

i watched this baked.

I. Met. God.

[humdrum99]

who's singing? is it Kim Deal? Benalyn Dennis Moore and the Vulpine Lupines??

I will die if I don't know.

[toztizok]

Laurie Amat

Diana Alden

Todd Rundgren

Molly Harvey

Isabelle Barbier

Mr Skull

[Sreyam1986]

Only hours away could be a man with a million dollars, only minutes away could be a guy with a gun, only seconds away could be a love that will last forever, but if it gets away.. there might not ever be one.

[Wintenton]

distorbing video..

[stongej]

Take acid and listen to the residents. You will hear the seceret of life. I have done it, but i would only recommened doing it once.

[vegetablepatches]

dont know if thats a good idea mate. i drop me kecks listening to these on weed and salvia, nevermind acid. watch the of being polite if you havent already and youll see what i mean

[c1k3]

that would be WAY to intense, i think. the music is scary enough.

[65jazzmaster]

"Thelma! Somebody's been puttin stuff in my crack!"

[ThrobnWood]

Been years since I had acid but if yer going to have a trip night at home then it's well worth getting the movie 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas'. Awsome movie to watch while tripping.

[virminlord]

Its also an awesome movie if you're sober.

[metric1977]

Eraserhead would be better though !

[SharkBoytnaFan]

omg so fuckin weird but in a good way

[chtulhugod]

try listening to this album on a heavvy dose of acid ,it took me someplace only the residents could!!! its awesome if your sober too, but on acid look out man

[thelibertineguy]

This is so fucking good

[highrpm92]

interesting

[b2j31e5]

As sure as flies can vote..i just love eating gravy and slashback porkchops while watching this..i be freaking and laughing too much..so i spill my iced tea(just a little)..Rock out with your trouts out my brothers..sho be Kool!

[rhcp00001]

i like their music its really unique but they kind of scare me lol

[alleyghost]

And you are...?

[explosionsfrommybutt]

Then don't watch it asshole.

[bumaja989]

lol, judging by the video you have created, you have no fucking right to claim anything else to be retarded, that'd make you a hypocrite you pop culture bitch. just another little whore for the jonas brosephs, fuckin fags.

[Schwejk]

Great stuff - as usual by the Eyeballs..

Residents for presidents.

[11spike7]

Brilliant...possibly their best video.

[mikalb41]

Disturbing--love it!

[archaist]

I'm obsessed with this video

[DeanSatan]

I <3 The Residents.

[strykermeyer]

GO FOR IT LIZZY

[ospididious]

... freaking subgeni... Love em to death.

[rurouni248]

it makes you think what the hell

[Kodalo]

WHERE IS THE REST??

[Beerlejuice]

Really fucked up

[buckdichfurzven]

I like the way the Residents videos glue themselves into your skull forever and scar your brain with the complex messages and strangely detailed art accompanied with the rather catchy music.

[Rensra]

Something about this makes me want to cry and rip my skin off

[fakebastard]

sometimes i think thats how youre supposed to feel, if youre supposed to feel anything at all.

[poopla707]

MOMMY NOOO!

[GolumTR]

Who's the chick singing at the start?

[Pr0jectWeird]

One of The Residents

[noceur]

Molly as seen on tour several times mmmmm!

[hedgehogpoker]

Well, whadya know! My partner inflicts long sessions of Residents music on the whole family from time to time. Three of the gerbils just flat out died in June! However. I actually enjoyed that! Like the idea of some tortured teacher making the 6 year olds in her class watch the alternative "Gingerbread Man" Anyway. the message at the end about salt....are they getting at Kelloggs?

[Gunth0r]

plain weird

[daggereyes1]

Plain flour actually. Plain flour, syrup, some shortening, an egg, cane su... oh look theres no one way. We all have our own recipe in life and that serves us up to a point. But hell, we all gotta run in the end. And that ole' fox 'Death' is waitin for us all Dagnabit. Hell, I used to be English.

[daggereyes1]

There are a number of different ways to make gingerbread. I won't list them all here.

[ShawnMichaelE]

Insanely cool.

[daggereyes1]

That woman weaving is a bit of a munter. Still, I wouldn't say no.

[daggereyes1]

I too am ginger. And I too am forced to run. I bet the residents are ginger also which is why they wear big eye balls to cover their heads. Sing on brothers. The world will, the world must, learn of our pain.

[damiongringe]

lmao

[daggereyes1]

My, what devastating sarcasm.

[hel0m0t0]

creepy...

[AZFlatbiller]

great video thanks for posting, love the residents!

[eckerbat]

get the hell outta here

[digalobien]

paranoia

[Emmie04]

Brilliant! I love The Residents! You never know if you should scream or laugh. Perhaps a bit of both. Where is the rest of this video?

[zillizzy]

I thought it was pretty good.. did any one else get it. come on cookie cut people just use your noodle.

[fedithpiaf]

I don't understand the theme yet, but the music was good...

[SykesMacab]

It's either you like this or don't. GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!!

[valavektin]

<font face="papyrus">i don't get it.</font>

[captainmystery]

This is really messed up. I'm the kind of person who laughs at horror movies, and this is creeping me the hell out. And not in a good way either, it's just BAD.

[halloweenhavok]

I really don't understand how you guys can manage to trick yourself into thinking this is good. The Residents are the worst band I've ever heard, they're wannabe dadaist bullshit is not making a statement and every song they make is terrible. This is denial on a scale I didn't think possible

[steamboatwillie]

There's no tricking involved. Many people, myself included, genuinely like their music. But it's even more than the music. It's the visual, the multimedia art forms, and the image they put off. I can see how you might not connect, or like the music in any way. But don't assume we're all tricking ourselves.

[Skyhawk432]

Ah, funny.

Oh my, again, it's Dazamaru being a fuck nut. Wow, this is the third time I've seen you, same technique and no class to keep your troll tactics intact.

Seriously, why did man waste such a precious fertile egg to hatch a pretentious faggot like you?

You complain more than most lynched coons.

[damiongringe]

Honestly, he's dreadful at it. Is it his first year on the internet?

[GolumTR]

Technically, only the un-lynched are capable of complaining. I like when they play the vocal riff on the synth sax (or maybe it's a real sax, I don't care). I like simple riff driven songs, especially when they are really widely arranged like this. At least it's not like a piano sonata where they play EVERY OVERLONG THEME IDENTICALLY FOUR TIMES. Some people wonder why I like Webern, it's because he doesn't repeat everything a million times like that fuck face Mozart.

[robertronics]

hey whaat´s the problem with mozart?!?!

he was a cool musician, and he was very innovative in some aspects of music

anyways, the goal is to learn how to listen and enjoy ALL THE SOUNDS

[CapriciousCapricrn]

Looks like the Pillsburg doughboy gets to play the heavyweight, huh? This one gets mighty pretentious once it hits The Weaver. Sorry Residents.

[KooolBand]

jeeze! this is some of the best writing and music there is! how could you say that?

[dazamaru]

what the fuck was that?

these dudes are really vomit. chunks.

[hippobitch]

Would you like some more monsters in it, or perhaps some heavy metal men with long hair looking moody, or maybe a jackass style skate dude saying fuck, or a hip hop star talking misogyny and how much lovely money they're going to make. Would any of these hackneyed images make you feel better you vomit chunk you.

[dazamaru]

Hippobitch..

Yes. I would take all of that.

Anything but this depressing, alienated, video-tech school posing.

It, like the most of Residents music, has no point, other than "let's weird out the industry"..nothing more than that, no musicial interplay, no decent live performances, no philosophy, just random buffoonery.

no wonder no one knows who they are.

Some people will accept any type of crap, as high art.

[shavadavadava]

you have no taste. you probably listen to subscribed pop and shit like that.

[dazamaru]

shavadavagah, my dear alphabet-named person,

wrong, "i dont listen to subscribed pop and shit like that"

"taste?"

you call this simplistic, mono-chord nonsense, "taste?"....LOL

I guess that girl you know with the pimples and bad breath is "taste" to you?

this is the musical equivalent.

[ResidentMich]

I know one of the guys who made the video. Maybe you should check out the 'more up to date' version (music only). Visually The Residents cannot be called inept.dazamaru Are you sure you're not Homer or Hardy?????

[dazamaru]

Residentmich..LOL..im not either Homer or Hardy.

Skyhawk...i know your type. Im not black, but that "lynched coons" remark tells me what type of loser you are.

daimongringe...sorry, my "dreadful" comments has actually made a few friends here...you know, the type of people who have real content in their responses.

Oh..you wouldnt know about that. Friends or content.

[steamboatwillie]

Art is expression. Weather you like it or not is irrelevant. Sure it's bizarre. Sure it's different. Sure, to you the music sounds like shit. It's not your thing. That's too bad. But to all the fans of The Residents on this page, you saying "What the fuck was that?" and calling shit upon them is a grade A offense. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it shit.

[dazamaru]

And just because they call Residents "avant garde"...genius...post-modern(­the most ridiculous one of them all)...revolutionary"

doesnt make it all that, either.

i thought we were done with this.

[steamboatwillie]

Haha, yes, post-modern is one even I don't get. I'm not argueing thay they are all that. I'm argueing that you shouldent be pissing people off like this, for reasons that nobody seems to know but you.

[dazamaru]

Steamboat...

SHADDUP.

Enough already. Stop with the weak attempt at psychoanalysis.

Trust me, playing this at your house, will not get you pussy.  You will be scarred forever as a noodle-headed pseudo-art poser, a weakling and a anti-social weirdo. Like the rest of these old dudes in here.

Save yourself. You're still young.

[RichSNYC]

Ignorance of your culture is not considered cool. You are an unmitigated ass. Why are you even posting here? If you dont get it, move on.

[dazamaru]

i do what i do richsnyc.

since i wasnt talkin to you...

who is the real "unmitigated ass?"

mind ya business, fuckwad.

[amarval]

i think you are a little wierd too, spending so much time with a thing you don't like,...bah,...

[dazamaru]

amarval

*shruggs*

anyway.....

oh, great song by the way....great singing...

sheeesh.

[KoolBand]

lol im 13 and i don't plan to start listening to other crap like whats on mtv anytime soon

[eggman6]

ironically when mtv came about they played alot of the residents since they were one of the few groups with alot of videos.

[ospididious]

I'm so glad to hear that. Good choice. Try some Primus and Gwar and Infectious Grooves. They're excellent today!

[cassiesouth85]

fantasically done

[HomoAnarky1958]

SUBLIME!

[StickyWaffles]

Can't believe i stopped a good song to have a look at this.

[captainmystery]

Oh dear god...no...no,no,no,no,no.

[insomniabelow]

what the hell, what the hell

[mikalb41]

getting under the flesh--yes. That's what's it all about. Scary at times. You go Homer!

[blondegoth69]

Does anybody know where I can get the lyrics to this, can't find them ANYWHERE

[bellyflavoredcandy]

This song gets under my skin. I don't know if I like it.

[rpppolyp]

Didn't they make this into a PC game?

[d1rosenberg]

Yes. Pretty sure they had a Mac version. Not really a game. You press different keys to make verious visual effects. Kinda primitive now but in 1996 it was da bomb.

[Saxkrig]

Gottalovetheresidents!

[diebritney]

I wish it had the whole thing

[diebritney]

AMAZING!

[Narzedie7001]

i love this flick

[PoeticReverie]

CREEPY!

[templars83]

meeple and robbie - i always laugh over and over at your comments when I watch this.

[RavenousMedicine]

haha!that,my friends, is the residents....

[robbiejohnson2001]

This is a fucking nightmare. In the good sense.

[Gubbstruttarna]

Fantastic!

[riotribunal]

I don't know if scary is the term, but I find it weird. The end of the video in which the father is in a weelchair in his last days of life made me feel sad for a while...

[meeple]

why is this the scariest thing ive ever seen in my life?

[Paulie88]

BUY this video on The Residents' Icky Flix DVD!

[noceur]

I did I bought a copy at the iky flix tour show I saw in Vancouver Canada. Now if I could only find it???? I really miss the aging Musician if anyone has it...

[sitjar]

excellent
