No, you should be doing whatever it takes to survive. Including laughing at funny things that don’t remind you of every stinking time you ever messed up in your life. Seriously. When your brain tries to kill you, whatever helps you survive is worth it.

Nothing personal, but if this answers all of your questions about life, you really need to start questioning things around you. There’s a lot to be said about constructive cynicism.

I agree! I’m surprised at the variety of responses it got from those who find it funny to those who find it depressing. I guess a lot depends on your frame of mind. I found it hilarious but in a quiet, making-me-smile way. So glad I saw this. Guess I like off-the-wall, dark humour.

LOL you’ve just described my thought process on an average day. So what was the movie about again? Oh look, something shiny …

I tend to steer clear of this graph website as i find is unfunny most of the time but i thought what the hell, i’m bored. So glad i came across this now.

Even if it has made me slightly depressed it kept me captivated

That’s really clever. Not exactly funny, but amusing and kind of true.

Most of it is true. I used to be a loner 15 year old with no social skills, and was constantly made fun of and tormented by my peers and society.

Then I discovered beer.

Now I’m a 15 year old who couldn’t care less!

so by that reasoning you cannot appreciate an anthology of love poems because it was not compiled by the authors of those poems?

Enough about the message already; it’ll be different for anyone who approaches it, and it’ll be liked or disliked according to knowledge of aesthetic history, cultural background, etc., etc. I find this vid remarkable. I’d like to know more about the medium. How’d they do it?

omg, you think Dan Quayle put this thing together?

Hmm. So do you also not appreciate books that are turned into movies since the producers didn’t write the book? Or jokes that people tell that they haven’t made up themselves?

Oh well. You’re entitled to your own opinion. I would be thrilled if I had written the text and some guy with a cool accent had read it during a graphilicous video.

There’s a lot of subtle humor in the video. The whole thing isn’t necessarily a joke. It’s kind of a Royal Tennebaums type of humor, at least, well, I think so.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one that noticed that! They are used incorrectly and therefore have ruined the whole meaning of the video.

That was great! Depressing at times, hilarious at others.

This was well put to together and the French voiceover dude added the perfect surreal tone.

So what if it is a montage
“..even rocky had a montage . . ”

Still a fine piece of work nonetheless

So, crediting someone else’s work that you put to moving pictures and narrated is fail because it’s not 100% original, but coming to a macro site where people just republish already published pictures and put some words on it–that’s totally ok?

You draw a pretty crooked line through the grey area there, Hoss.

I loved the voice!! He reminds me of the philosopher clan leader in the video game Alpha Centauri

By: Sam

Sam — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:19:14 +0000

So according to your statement, anything that is not completely and entirely original is fail. Therefore, you FAIL by being a human (if indeed you are human).

On a lighter note, I can appreciate the effort that went into creating that video. WIN !

Love it even more with a voiceover that sounds like Schwarzenegger!

I can’t appreciate this piece since none of the writing was done by the makers.
It’s irrelevant that they credited the people who really made the graphs.
