"Bro I just had the craziest dream"
"Tell me bro"
**2 hours later**
"Holy fuck we could make a band out of this"
Man I wish I could remember those kind of dreams vividly. I never wrote them down
@@ShovelLettuce i write them down in a journal everytime i have them, it helps sometimes
And here I thought the fictional band started as a commentary on MTV...
Forgot these were fictional characters for a second
I was like, “HoLd uP, wHy ThErE zOmBiEs?” Listen, I’m not saying much, but I am saying I might have been as high as the creators writing this.
The fact that this is the only video that talks about Russel's past beyond "his friends got shot and their spirits inhabited him" is INSANE. It's an extremely important part of his character and no other fans talk about it
2D: vibing with 2 normal, functioning eyes
Murdoc: I’m about to start this man’s whole career
@@brodyshane9795 i give a shit. How tf did you do it? And why? I’m not mad or disagreeing. It’s fucking impressive!!
2D: has eyes
murdoc: im about to end this mans whole career
@Normies_are noobs no you woudn't get woosh'd. The joke is just terrible. Not even a joke, just a giant fuckin' turd.
@Normies_are noobs lmao. Well yeah. He just meant he was going to mess them up so eh
It sounds like you put a bunch of 13 year old wattpad writers in a room and fed them each 100 twinkies, gave them energy drinks, then said "here. Write something."
more like giving them shrooms, lsd, and 16 energy drinks each and tell them to write it within 15 minutes
Imagine Gorillaz having a live action film like Scott Pilgrim.
i love scott pilgrim and gorillaz so that would be so sick if someone did that
I don’t think that would look good but an animated movie would be cool
*snorts cocaine* "ok so its a band called gorillaz..."
*hits blunt* “and then this 10 year old Japanese girl was mailed to their haunted studio and _shredded_ this guitar....”
*literally ate a Cocaine Sandwich* "and there's this aggressive Horny pickle"
_takes massive bong rip_ yeah so then they all got lost in the ocean and shit..
*Drinks a liter of crack* and theres also a boogey man after them whos dressed like a school shooter
*Snorts a line made of penicillin and petrol* Yeah and then the drummer gets giant and people think it's Godzilla or some shit...
Beginning: small band tries to find success
End: Murdoc takes a big piss
"She heard a waiter ask for an order of 'ocean bacon' which restored all her memories, and her ability to speak english, and, in fact, every other known language."
Ah yes, of course. That explains everything.
Noodle is literally japanese Captain America
Captain America doesn't have 50 stars. So he is captain Puerto Rico
Someone: Ok how confusing do you want this backstory to be?
Gorillaz: *Yes*
Glad I'm not the only one who felt "confusing" was about the best way to sum up the entire Gorillaz lore and backstory!
Hows the backstory confusing in any way? 2D is a guy who had a car accident, murdok is the one responsible for this, russel is possessed by dead peoole and noodle is a female john wick.
They form a band, some bad guys apear, some bad guys disappear, the end.
Wow, very confusing
Murdoc: "you're in my band now."
2-D: _"okay."_
i love how it seems that murdoc just always has some acute awareness of where each member is at all times- like when he sent the person to pick 2D up after his gap year LMAO
I love how a lot of Gorillaz fans grew up with Noodle😭👏🏽
I'm just joining the fandom and I am so confused-
I just thought they were a normal band...
same i thought they were real people who were into anime so they decided to animate there selves.
"... and then Bruce Willis"
I died.
@@leocastrillo759 Bounty hunters don't normally try to kill. They prefer to take people alive because most bounties either require that or pay more for it. Assassins kill, or at least try to.
@@leocastrillo759 Actual bounties are almost never dead or alive these days. If a bounty hunter wants a bounty it is almost always required to bring them in alive. Actually killing the person with a bounty is usually considered murder and quite illegal.
So Gorillaz are basically one of the greatest anime never made.
Gorillaz are nothing compared to anime yet you people come in and say that
can we take a moment to appreciate Jamie Hewlett's art style and the way it progressed over the years with every phase... the attention to detail this man puts in every image is impeccable
I just realized the live tour fakers thing was a way for the actual band to go on tour, but keep the in universe lore intact. that's actually genius
I love how 2-Ds blue hair is natual, like boy fell out of a tree when he was a kid and hit his head causing his hair to fall out and it grew back azure blue. I swear I can't make this shit up
nah the meds that he was given after he injured his head falling out of the tree made his hair grow back blue lol
It happens in real life. But not permanent tho. Something relating to the sun. When I was 14 in school leaning out a corridor, my classmate told me my hair was blue, I refused to believe her n insisted she's wrong but turned out true
This sounds like it was written by someone on acid and I love it
It literally sounds like a comic book I would write in like 5th grade lmao
I like how it goes from: guy with messed up eyes because of a weird man who wants to start a band to a literal horror story, this is why I love Russell
This sounds like a darker version of a kindergartner's story
“Cyborg Noodle has a bullet hole in her head.”
Me: Oh Jesus
“They evade the police and then Bruce Willis-“
Me: ok wait wHAT?
Btw, love your profile. Your name, and your profile pic. I get the reference for the name. Haha.
2D : *has a good career*
Murdoc : hold my beer
Murdoc : wait *grabs beer*
2D : *looks up*
Murdoc : *chunks beer at 2D*
2D: cool older brother
Murdoc: crazy uncle
( young)Noodle: cute little sister
Russell:your dad’s friend from work
I love how he says "I'm'm not killing Noodle; she's Noodle." 🥰
WOW The gorriliz back story is cool and fucked up at the same time.
Jacob Morales lmao you never knew music groups had back story's ? You're a fucking moron.
Ok. If you say so. Damn thats savage but youre right. Some of my favorite Bands have backstories, Daft Punk has an amazing backstory (And Cameos and films), Anamanaguchi has a IRL backstory but its super interesting how they got the name Anamanaguchi, back when they first called the Armani Prada Gucci Boys, Hatsune Miku is almost pure backstory made by fans. I mean every group or Musician has a story to tell. Maybe some stories are more interesting than others but, it doesnt change the fact that greatness doesnt just fall into your lap.
Still doesn't explain why Murdoc's skin becomes greener and greener every time a new song releases.
he said he was born gray and it just turned greener and greener as the time went by
Coming back to this video and hearing Russell’s backstory once more, I finally realized something, maybe a little fan theory for him or something like that.
So in Russell’s introduction it was mentioned that his friends were killed in a gang bang drive by.
Russell mentioned that the people who killed his friends were in red hoods, that got me thinking about the new albums they made with cracker island and skinny ape (forgot the name)
In cracker island murdoc arrived in the hospital wearing a red hood and robe, most likely from a cult. Now back to what got me thinking.
What if murdoc secretly had something to do with it? Or what if he only found out about the cult/group after or before the drive by happened? We’ll probably never know but tel me in replies what you think about this theory! Even add some theories yourself if you want and I’ll read them too :D
That makes sense, but after all that he did murdoc needs to be closed up in a cage till he dies (even if he would escape, not even prison worked☠️)
Oh Murdoch, he definitely was in on the murders of Russ' friends.... In order to create the ultimate band. ... He will stop at nothing!
I have a few interesting ideas about how this is play out.
There's some shorts of him talking, on the Gorillaz channel.... He loves the spotlight! He loves to hear himself talk....
He will give himself away soon.... 😂
"Ocean Bacon."
Noodle: *Fucking remembers every spec and dust on every wall.*
Ok but is it a universal thing like if I say oceon bacon
*Remembers crap*
HOLY SHIT
Im just learning about this so you're telling me, a cyborg 10 year old Japanese girl, a pickle, and a person with 8 ball eyes are being chased by bruce fucking willis?
People who listen for music: 🌝
People who are in it for the lore: 🌚
Del is my favorite rapper/hip hop legend. I just love Deltron and the Gorillaz. Your cadence is awesome and I really dig the Sci fi/ anime aspect. Awesome quality original stuff.
Everyone: FNAF has the most confusing more
Gorillaz: hold my Feel Good Inc soundtrack
@@isnortashes3737 yea I made an oopsie and I'm too lazy to correct it
I cry a little inside everytime I remember they aren't real.
I’ve seen this Aiden dude say some pretty inappropriate and lewd things about Noodle before in the comment section of the Strobelite video... seems like he has a thing for Noodle.
Yeah. I don’t know if they have concerts, but if they do, That’s my dream
So I know that you'll probably never see this but I wanted to stop in and say thank you for introducing me to this fandom I've been in this fandom for 4 months now and I have met so many wonderful people and made friends because of this fandom and none of this would have happened if it wasn't for this video so again thank you so much
I never thought a band could have so much depth and story!
This band is so diverse you have
A British guy
A black guy
A Japanese girl
And a Pickle :|
It’s two British guys one black and one Japanese girl fucking idiot
I luv how murdoc literally ran a car into a shop, threw someone out of a car window, and kidnapped a possessed teen boy. He also happens to b green. He looks like some sort of mutant. He is super mean. Yet people still find him hot. No haye to murdoc. Lol I luv his character and personality in general. He also broke out of jail. Like bro
Their lore feels like It was written by a 6 year old on acid after hearing every kind of music genre around the world and seeing every episode of The Twilight Zone
*Ocean Bacon*
In a piece of art they got russle is reading a book titled sea bacon and that got my mind racking for two weeks and every time I see it my mind races like DID HE KNOW WTF!?!?
Then I realized that the ocean bacon thing happened already and my brain was like I just died inside my brain cells gone
Time gone
Sanity LONG GONe
Happiness ded
Sadness amplified
Noodle: if I had a nickel for every time I had been sent in a package I would have two nickels... which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
the fact that this entire story is made up by like 2 people.. very creative
“Things were going good!”
*murdoc fucks up*
“Things were not going good!”
2-D: (Has eyes)
Murdoc: "And I took that personally"
The way Murdoc hit some kid with his car twice, then decided to keep him 😆
This story sounds like something you could make into an adult cartoon on MTV back when MTV wasn't shity.
they did do a 7 minute vid for the NTV show cribs its on their youtube channel and its pretty funny.
I enjoy their music but wtf were they smoking when they came up with this story....
Gorillaz is the fnaf of the music industry
Taking time out of my day because i like their music to learn the lore.😍
anyone else think that the “wanker” sign that 2D immediately knew was for him is the funniest thing ever?
That is one helluva backstory if I ever heard one. What I got from this is that Murdoc is basically a kidnapper.
How many more times is Murdoc gonna get arrested.
Edit:Holy Shit i got 2.7k likes on this comment Damn
420 or 666 those numbers would be a good point to stop being illegal in my opinion knowing murdoc.
I used to think 2d was attractive. Please tell me I’m not the only one.
guys he’s still attractive obviously, but i used 2 be wayyyy more obsessed like 3 yrs ago******
I’m not exactly attracted to men because I’m a guy so I can’t really relate
7:11 is it just me, or does noodle look ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE 🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰
Words can not explain how much I love Noodle
I wonder what the FedEx employees do when they see Noodle in a package.
FedEx employee: oh hi again noodle , the usual?
Noodle: *Y U P*
THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY CLEARS IT UP
Enera Wilson Yeah this series is just as confusing and complicated as some anime's out there.
Enera Wilson All those stories have been around on UA-cam, fandom, etc. for years. You just gotta find them and read them mate.
I know it's not anime and yeah maybe that wasn't the best example to compare it to, there are somethings that are inspired by anime but really it isn't sorry my bad! .-.
This plot sounds like something I would write when I was 4
I like how the summary of gorillaz is basically just:
“Hey murdoc what the fuck did you do again?”
Well then....Is it weird how you could be sitting here and be wondering, “I wonder where they are right now...” Then you realize none of them exist
Well their existence is just the hyper reality super condensed version of the lives of the people that actually have made music for the Gorillaz with all the mundane bullshit cut out and a bunch of shit made into metaphors. The lives of the Gorillaz is determined by what happens in reality.
the lie that tells the truth or whatever.
just as any art reflects the minds and lives of it's creators. gorillaz exists in the metaverse of all fiction and is confirmed to even coexist with the PPG/CN universe.
Lindsey DaSavage *_Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo_*
This bring me back to when I was slowly becoming a fan!! Thanks for the memories (even though it was nearly two years ago)
I came back to this video after a good few years and after becoming a fan of your channel and JUST realized it's your video. Awsome video!
i just realised he read out word for word the gorillaz wiki for the backstories
Man, the lives of all 4 band members is fucking bananas
Crazy Maisy yeah you do realize this whole fictional band was all first created by one guy
Kong studio's: running rampant full of zombies
Noodle: *and i took that personally*
I just realized that Noodle is now 27 and Murdoc is 50. Yet people ship them...
That is sick and terrible... because it is not two men.
What kind of horrible world do we live in when men are not being shipped with other men?
IM SORRY BUT NOODLES GRAND ENTRANCE HAS ME DYING
AND YOU CANT BLAME ME
JUST IMAGINE IT
JUST-
random girl who showed up in a random crate: * busTS THROUGH CRATE WITH GUITAR *
* PLAYS A GOOD AF GUITAR SOLO *
* 20FT KARATE KICK *
n o o d l e
keira the animator nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodle
As a Gorillaz fan myself for 5 years, I would actually like to see a Netflix series about the band itself! 😊
Russel getting possessed in every music video is one of my favorite running gags in anything
"Murdoc had dreams of creating a chart topping band"
....and that's what exactly happened
They fr need to make a movie-
Love watching videos about the lore. I remember watching this one years ago when I first got more interested in Gorillaz since prior to that I had only casually listened to the music since my first exposure was Feel Good Inc. as a kid in the early 2000’s.
imagine just one day your chilling then your fed ex order comes. So you go outside and as you open your door a small japanese child flies at you shredding the guitar and then does a *20 foot* high kick upon completion.
*I M A G I N E*
ZF sounds like the best possible outcome for ordering something from fed ex.
I be wondering what the fuck did I order and was I drunk when I order it and why tf didn't fed ex check to see what tf was in the box
other celebrities: this young girl was bullied but now shes famous
gorrillaz: t h e b a t h
The Meme Boi your like a child...watch this *breath in* T H E B A F F’
I come back to this yearly, I love seeing how far they’ve come.
Nice video dude
All murdoc wanted to do was start a band
*Jesus Christ man*
Most. Complicated. Band. Start. Ever.
By the way, I had the same reaction, wtf is this? Guy just want to play music and be famous, gets embroidered in apocaliptic shit...
Thank you for compiling this. I was always curious about this fictional group but could never keep up with them or find the whole story.
"There's a lot to unpack here" doesn't even BEGIN to describe it
Moral of this story is.... DO NOT TRUST MURDOC......TRUST NOODLE...... LOVE 2D.... SMOKE WEED WITH RUSSLE
i love how random the line "cyborg noodle opens fire on the boogieman" is if you know nothing about gorillaz lore
i must say that this is one of the best and craziest stories somebody has ever came up with
jamie and damon are truly geniuses
1 minute in, and I’m already confused
Murdoc: "join my band"
2D: "please don't hurt me"
Russell: *drums*
runs over him the crashes him out of the car into the pavement then continues to hit him to keep his black eyes
*Breathes in Feel Good Inc*
Muahaha
someone: can you sup up murdoc and 2Ds relationship
any gorillaz fan: *this comment*
