Aquaman's Lament

[jnklee]

The video is great, but the side characters (wonder twins, flash, green lantern, etc..) are what makes it awesome.

[Nnelg9111]

Love your vids

[floop2011]

I still think your out there spiff I miss you come back :(

[TheVolders]

Lol this song makes me think Raj Koothrappali from tbbt. "But Aquaman sucks.. He sucks under water"

[MrSoggyTissue]

I want more vids from you :(

[Iwannapopy]

Will you never put out a new video?

[477dv]

wow dont need superheros

[Roach1593]

people seem to forget, Aquaman has super strength too, he could kick the crap outta anyone

[SinisterDirector]

Spiffworld, I love your videos to death and I understand you want to stop making them and I completely respect that. But I have one request: Please, please, please put up a video, even if it's a block of text, explaining what happens after your video "Live". I know it's a sequel to Skullcrusher Mountain and I would really love to know what happens to the scientist and Igor and his new Bride-to-Be. Please! I must know!

[spiffworld]

@SinisterDirector Heh. I can't post that information because it doesn't exist. Those two songs weren't made to be sequels of each other. But they seemed sequel-ish to me, so I made my videos as if they were. Until/unless someone makes a third song about a socially maladroit mad scientist who just wants to be loved, I'm afraid that story will have to remain unresolved.

[SinisterDirector]

@spiffworld Well, I'll keep an eye out for a song like that and let you know if I find one. Thanks for all the wonderful videos :] You have a real talent for making these pieces of art.

[DarkestElemental616]

Oh, poor Aquaman...

[youraverageevilpoet]

Lol, Batman is gay? Since when? First off, the creator Bob Kane says he's not, secondly, Batman was married to Ras' A Ghul's daughter at one time, and he's constantly messing around with catwoman (I think they even had a daughter that starred in the spin-off "Brids of Prey"). Batman is just called gay because Robin runs around in queer little shorts. That's they way heroes looked back then. They looked all bright, colorful and weird. Don't get me started on the old Mr. Freeze...

[DarkestElemental616]

@youraverageevilpoet Four little boys running around in tights, and his one girl sidekick didn't last four months. Not to mention his relationship with Superman in every issue of World's Finest ever. He might not be gay, but he's hardly 100% straight.

[youraverageevilpoet]

@DarkestElemental616 Lol, what happened in the World's Finest series?

[DarkestElemental616]

@youraverageevilpoet Try miss-mgann and schwarbage on Tumblr, and check their World's Finest tags. You'll see.

(Basically, lots of Batman and Superman practically FLIRTING for decades, up to and including creating sons for themselves and running lots of simulations about all of them.)

[DarkestElemental616]

@youraverageevilpoet Oh yes, and then there was the time he and Superman hanging out produced so much love that they attracted space tentacles.

I wish I could say I was joking, but...I'm really not. This happened.

[RawkCSSable]

i miss all theese awesome songs =D

[runefar1]

You guys notice the reference to his her videos

[PenguinsRule1395]

@spiffworld will you please make a video for 'Jonathan Coulton - Furry Old Lobster'?

please!!! i love your videos so much!!

[oren385]

Ahhh brings me back to the days when WoW used to be fun until that cataclysm came and now the pandaria shit

[bartolojr20]

2:24 xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[MrDestroyinator]

Sooo... Batman and Robin ARE gay?!

[luddeTHEbunny]

You dead?

[DeathBlazeProduction]

Lol. Bats are gay.

[joshuasiu98]

anyone noticed he stoped posting videos? D:

[bartolojr20]

@joshuasiu98 I, yes :(

[BryManInc]

this was awesome



[VirtualVikki]

Really nice!



[ninjagrl809]

i think green lantern is in there???

[chubz007]

@ninjagrl809 hes the glowing green guy :)

[ninjagrl809]

@chubz007 oh XD

[BHargoman]

Spiff, you're lovely.

[oldtimesmusicfan]

hey soterios johnson is reporting, lol go soterios johnson go!

[piemaster3425]

doesn't aquaman have superstrength?



[FallenToHome]

@piemaster3425 No he can talk to fish and breath underwater :L

[BathrobeKeck]

@FallenToHome actually he DOES have superstrength, and his orange chainmail shirt is bulletproof. he gets his streangth and stamina from his atlantean heritage, his body has a denser structure to live at the bottom of the sea. it's true that while on the surface his power wane, but as longas he'sproperly hydrated his strength is comparable to Superman's and underwater, in a fight he's easily beaten supes before.

[rthompson39]

@FallenToHome He also has super-strength, mind control and the power to vaporise whatever he points at. He's one of the most overpowered heroes around.

[Givobe]

superman! :D

[TheZacula]

Cool song, well done. Didn't think you could reproduce the characters via WoW so accurately, but they were.

[Chiefsplayr17]

Where's Spiff been anyway?

[CharlieMash]

OMG batman is gay with robin? but robin is a child and that means batman is a pedofile!

[TheSoulbeak]

It's been over a year now and I miss Spiff more than ever.

I can't force you to make videos and I wouldn't even if i could, but hot diggidy damn i miss your brilliance.

[MrBo7amed100]

Isn't Robert like more than 10 years younger than Batman.... THAT MAKES BATMAN A GAY PEDO!

[DrNaviii]

@MrBo7amed100 depends which robin, oldest robins are in 20s now, youngest is about 12 and his son

[MrBo7amed100]

@DrNaviii i ment the when he was 12 years old

[chubz007]

@MrBo7amed100 first of all nothing wrong with being "GAY", but being a "PEDO!" yes, technically thats in-moral.

[FATHINTERO]

Wherever I look, Batman and Robin are still lovers. :)))

Hey no offense, I love superheroes. xD

[MasterrangerABR]

@FATHINTERO The new robin is batman's son

[FATHINTERO]

@MasterrangerABR What? Seriously? What a freaking spin-off... xD

[SteelChains]

@FATHINTERO And they love eachother aswell, apparently.

[nsonger]

Batman, you do know Robin is a boy right? Just checkin

[chubz007]

@nsonger of course he knows! where have you been, robin always in some from of skimpy tight little clothing, we all knew what was really happening. just glad spiff knew that also lol

[Wrightshire]

Dear Spiff,

Thanks for introducing me to the awesome music of Jonathan Coulton, the free downloads of his music on your website (I'm cheap!) and the hilarious, awesome videos you've made.

- Wrightshire

[pacificbeauty]

i love this

[spiffworld]

That's the best way to do it. Better than finishing with a string of crappy videos then limping to a stop. :)

[Silkbeardable]

@spiffworld Wait, so have you stopped making videos altogether?

[AnDvMajinsWOW]

@spiffworld dudeee why have you not made anymoree?? i loveee your videos D:

[never0ending0faith]

@spiffworld You're videos are phenomenal and extremely entertaining, are you going to make more?

[never0ending0faith]

@never0ending0faith Your* hehe sorry

[spiffworld]

@never0ending0faith Thanks! Nope, no more. I'm pretty much done.

[CPUgamecentral]

@spiffworld I won't ask anything more of you, as you have already made my life that much more fun. You are phenomenal, and I thank you for the years of awesome that you gave us! I hope you move on to something new you enjoy!

[MrMadkujo]

@spiffworld aww i always enjoyed yours 

[SexBurgers]

@spiffworld But... :( Artificial heart Q_Q

[spiffworld]

@SexBurgers I hate to admit it, but I'm not a big fan of Artificial Heart. None of those songs make me want to jump on my computer and make a video for it, which is sad.

[MineCartable]

I dont like how you quit making videos as soon as you hit your prime with making videos.

[Jackiethepeapod]

Spiff is the king of wow videos. Amazing. We got to meet him at the last joco concert (crazie zombie girl screamer) nicest guy ever. Thank you for the awesome entertainment and keep up the good work!

[RinRanThatWay]

OMG AQUA MAN -dies in the best way possible-

[megatobby1991]

at 1:54 i was laughing so hard when i saw hawkgirl... untill i realised taht is hawkman... Always forget about him :P

[ThatUndeadGuy666]

I knew robin was gay..I mean his outfit showed that but Batman to!?! NOOOOOO!

[Shumankingsnake]

except for the robin bit it was good

[MathiasKiljoy]

This video should be remade now with the rogue tier 13 coming! Batman! XD

[xmaneds]

great job with the animation -- this was terrific !

[katisayinprodutionz]

lol

[mickeydubbeldekkers]

APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD :D

[spartan187100]

i knew batman & robin were gays!

[taigalovexx12]

@spartan187100 who doesnt? lol ;D



[starcatjewel]

Another good song for Aquaman fans is "Arthur Curry" by Ookla the Mok. There's a good video set to it, but I can't link in a comment.

[Gabonicman]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww. Batman and Robin are gay

[1995JWard]

I like Aquaman just because of this song.

[willmandude]

Poor Aquaman. Not one year after he became a White Lantern they reset the universe

[bigjavo36]

@willmandude and he has to watch namor get his own comic and join the x-men

[Martmeisterpaladin]

Hang on; doesn't Aquaman already have a wife?

[vuumbleman]

@Martmeisterpaladin Mera is her name and she's a hottie. There's little reason for him to want any other woman. One of her more notable feats, at least to me anyway, is being able to use a Red Ring competently and take it off without dying.

[joshuabear15]

wtf batman is gay? oh hell nah

[Traslogan]

Didn't Aquaman have a beard?

[LordManda2]

@Traslogan The one from Justice League does. This vid is reffering to the old Aquaman of "Superfriends" fame. That Aquaman was far less badass than the one your thinking of (the one from Justice League).

[georgelunna]

wuat



[We3Noobs]

Dude you shoulda sped up the credits u would have had at least one more verse

[DarkTider]

WHAT?! It didnt make it to the finals! B-but it's frigging brilliant!

Oh, and yes, Aquaman really really sucks as a character XD Really, why do both Marvel and DC comics insist on silly altateans. Only really seen him shine in Flashpoint as the evil dictator type.

[toonsmyth]

DUDE ! Phenomenal work! I don;t know what the other entries looked like, but YOU SHOULDA WON!

[Bonja82]

It's funny cause Green Lantern looks exactly like that :P

[We3Noobs]

@Dracowrath1 green lantern dude

[coffeeboy16]

OMG awesome song and video. Fabulous! And a hilarious ending...

[Dracowrath1]

I freakin lol'd at the end where Batman and Robin were in their own boat with their own floaty hearts. What I didn't get though, is who was the floating green guy? It can't be hulk, he doesn't float.

[drapa25]

1:52 Oxhorn reference.

[MrDeathbyzombies]

Batman is fucking awesome. Then right after him is Terry McGinnis.

[Traslogan]

With this recession and all, its amazing those heroes can afford such a good TV screen ;)

[Dracowrath1]

@Traslogan Bruce Wayne's a millionaire, remember?

[Odisiaru]

@Deyyhayederaned not really if you think about it, after all WoW is full of po-culture references, im personally more disturbed by the fact they havent made Lex Luthor into a raid boss

[UltraAnimaniac101]

You take away Batman's Batmobile, Batplane, and Utility belt, You are still left with the mother fucking Batman!

[AnDvMajinsWOW]

Why arent you making anymore vids i used to look forward to when there was a new spiffworld vid out :/

[EpicG8merProductions]

Batman was always my ultimate favorite and i hated superman for some reason.Aquaman was always my second favorite.

[TheDrMiles]

Aquaman is nice, Batman ain't bad and Superman is good. Bit no one can be better then The Green Lantern.

[jakobogg]

will you do want you gone?

[moonlightgirl31]

always knew Batman was gay. Lol Aquaman ftw. (LOL'd when Green Latern and Superman dropped down with the hearts )

[jcorle00]

It stinks that no one outside of comic readers know how awesome Aquaman is. He's the super-strong, bulletproof, telepathic Warrior King of 75% of Earth's surface!

[ipodxdude]

aquaman:dont worry guys we could use the whales!

batman: who let aquaman back in?

[VerielleandDacier]

I've seen almost all of these videos and WOW, I'm in love with these singers and songwriters. Continue to keep up the spifferific work!

[Diamixen]

Dude, ive been subscribed to u for ages now.. How come ur updates are so incredibly slooow? x_x I know its a complicated process and all but srsly.. what the hell?

[Brandenl0l]

lol @ 1:39 if you take all that away hes still a multimillionaire marial artist XD

[TheInsaneWombat]

Actually, Aquaman used to be pretty badass. :\ Not sure why he turned into a loser hero recently but the original character would kick more ass than batman.

[Dogsoldier22]

Aquaman is useless..but he can summon up one hell of a tuna sandwich

[ThatUndeadGuy666]

If you take away the batmobile the boat, belt AND butler you'll still have the multimillionaire

[MythikInk]

When are you doing another song? I love all of your videos =D

[TheIflame]

Wow i must say Mr. Spiff i am really impressed with the suits and set pieces you've got for the Superheroes, it looks almost 100% like the real ones

[pivotman20001]

do want you gone

[JohanFromIndonesiaTM]

I miss spiffworld and his vids, whenever I rejoin WoW again (cuz sometimes I quit 1 year or a few months and come back) I always watch his videos to get in the mood :D!

[Traslogan]

Omg superman is everyones favourite genius from The Future Soon! Looks like those nuts and bolts really did the trick

[Jaxicul]

Aquaman's a legend :>

[Azarune]

Is it possible for you to create the version with the full song? Or would it take too much time? Either way, I love your work and have been a huge fan for a long time, I wish you well!

[Wildmuff]

Aw, it worked out for everyone! How sweet. XD

[pongsacha]

at the beginning how do u make a whale shark to looks like it in the water and how do u make aquaman to look like he really jump into water? im trying to make a water scene on my machinima too but I have no idea how to do it

[spiffworld]

@pongsacha The trick is to split the clip of the whale into an upper and lower half, and then to make the lower half transparent so that the water shows through a bit. There are a few other tweaks you can make in After Effects to make it look a little nicer, like feathering the edges of the split clip, but that's essentially how you do it. Remember -- when I make these vids, every element in the shot is on its own layer (whale, Aquaman, Batman, beach) so I can affect each one individually.

[th3nxtman]

@spiffworld Might it be easier to split the water and make it transparent? Then you could make the whale seem to be bobbing in the water. (If I understand the theory correctly, which I might not.)

[spiffworld]

@th3nxtman you could do that, however the water is part of the background, which includes the sand and sky, so those would be affected too, in your method. I found it easier to modify just the whale since it's the smaller clip.

[FiestaFanLok]

@spiffworld i like the gag at the end with having the green latern and superman holding the things lol

[mabgamer6407]

I'd love to see a star Wars video like this. Man That make my Day. maybe Have the Old classics with obi-wan and Luke skywalker and the cast. Or do one explaining Darths from jedi to sith any one agree?

[Caiomhin98]

@ 0:58 "Draw me like one of your French girls..."

[lucasMhewitt]

lol



[BubbleHeartFilms]

Love it how both of them get the "girl" in the end *gg*

[zeldafreak000]

"I DONT WANNA BE AQUAMAN! HE SUCKS!"

Free cookie to anyone who knows the reference

[tehpal00za]

@zeldafreak000 BBT?



[zeldafreak000]

@tehpal00za *gives Tehpal00za a Chocolate Chip cookie*

[DrNaviii]

@zeldafreak000 Ironically BBT sucks a hell of a lot more than aquaman

[zeldafreak000]

@DrNaviii dude,thats your opineon....

Aquaman actually sucks(water wise)

[Morethanicouldhandel]

@zeldafreak000 Im assuming you mean the big bang theroey, but its not just that, its kinda just a given that everybody should hate aquaman

[gameygamey90]

@zeldafreak000 the big bang theory it's raj.

[MrBirdylove]

LOL

[Loadabullfilms]

6 words can summarise this video's coolness :).

Beats Rocket Of Love By Miles

[DJxJustJur]

Aquaman (spiff) I really understand that you love vicki vale she's one hot lady.

Really I would marry her to.

xDDDD

[Loadabullfilms]

I'm pretty sure The Flash could get really annoy zipping around like that all day lol

[Vashthestampdee]

True, but you should see him do any job. One hour and bam. He'll be done.

[mabgamer6407]

I Think Spiff should Try a Star wars Song an Plot thing is I don't know aGood song. Something about Darth I kno that one. Any Ideas?

[Dartyus]

What armor did you use for Superman's Costume? I have this thing I do on the Halloween event.

[spiffworld]

@Dartyus The pieces for all the costumes are listed on my site: spiffworld . com.

[flarescarab777]

@Dartyus im not even into wow and i love the medevail jla (shame we diden see any vilains exept luthor)

[Bonja82]

DC Comics FTW!!!!!

[v8wr]

lol batman's gay. i always knew!

[silverleaf7878]

if your Aquaman, what does a toliet look like in Atlantis , and after your done, where does the poo go? Huh?

[Sporeadam]

I'm glad things ended well for Aquaman, but he's still as useless as a bear trap hanging from a tree

[Supdogification]

spiff, have you ever considered making wow movies instead of/as well as music videos?

[spiffworld]

@Supdogification Music videos are so much easier. By using someone else's great song, I automatically get a great soundtrack, great characters, a great plot, etc. All I have to do is provide a couple of gags and the visuals. :)

[quaidanator]

@spiffworld work smarter not harder am i right ;)

[pheniks0]

super

[malaxvor]

lol the credits music is histerical

[Thijz]

Awesome, great job on the costumes! :D

[IAC3I]

Marry me Spiff? :P You inspire me so much. xD Through a game I don't even play. anymore ;o

[Aozame32]

Fuck yeah, Aquaman!

[MrSPARTANLORD]

HA BATMANS GAY WITH ROBIN I KNEW IT!!!!!

[Chiefsplayr17]

@MrSPARTANLORD Think about it! Grown man in a rubber suit, running around with a young boy! You don't need xray vision to see what the hell's going on there!

[MrSPARTANLORD]

@Chiefsplayr17 haha



[darkshogun00]

2:35 Who cares if your the second choice it still means your picked

[Merrymakerz]

No matter if batman saves the world, our hero can drink gin and tonic!

[blue214]

lol

[AndyPVale]

I get like that when I'm drunk.

[AlkaponX57]

if aqua-man was a jealous alcoholic i would love his comics so much

[ZerkaiGG]

Alot of people don't seem to realize that Aquaman and his people live on the ocean floor, and have super strength and durability as a result of living with in the high pressure environment there. One of his first comic issues show him stopping a artillery shell with his bare hand on the cover.

[SGVMWM]

Aquaman is the most useless superhero (not trying to hate cause I love DC but it's true)

[SirChaosS]

great vid. love how u did everyone's costumes. awesome work.

[Beachedwhail]

HA batman's a fucking qweer lol
