What an interesting feeling it was, to see a new Not Stanley episode in 2022. This has to be my favourite series just due to the sheer amount of golden lines to quote.
IM STILL crazed over how i thought about coming back to this channel for not stanley, and after i had searched not stanley i saw he had posted this video 4 hours prior to that moment of me searching it. so i says hey boss, WHAT GIVES?!
@@KingKiloOfficial Actually, I believe it was her grandfather, not Uncle. And it wasn't exactly a matter of everyone finding out. He'd lead a very interesting life, and it made for great bedtime stories for the grandkids, but was so interesting that they assumed he was making it up. Then they grew up and found out his adventures were a matter of public record, more or less.
Sometimes we all just get a bit too close to our microphones, and that's ok, we just need to remind ourselves that sometimes this happens to us and we are not alone in this world, whether our microphones are out of reach or firmly planted in our grasp. Just go with the flow and don't let the microphone get you down.
I could never figure out why but Not Stanley has always been my by far favourite thing to have ever been created by David. It's funny, charming and still somewhat uncanny all at the same time.
For me, there is some indefinable property or mix of properties in Stanley's voice. That is, I think that the character's voice is inherently amusing, and his delivery that approaches shouting somehow adds to the hilarity. This voice actor, whoever he is, could read out the lines of one of my computer programs, and I would likely be on the floor with an unstoppable fit of violent laughter, until someone calls an ambulance.
I remember watching this original series in my twenties when it came out and not knowing wtf was going on. I now appreciate it all so much more. Thanks for sharing this lost episode!
David your work is so influential to me! For example, I want to buy a Christmas card to put in my house now because of this! Thanks for everything you do!
Great to see new content! Glad you pulled it out of the ether. Your content has been a major inspiration in my horror videos. Thank you for all the entertainment and inspiration
Same. I hear his quotes run through my head all too often. My favorite is "YOU-MFER! You better have learned something, d***su**er!" Goes through my head at appropriate situations.
David, I love you and I thank you for doing this. You have inspired me since I was a kid to become an animator. Only this year have I realized that I can really do it, I don't need anyone to tell me I can.
I can't tell you how elated I was to see this episode pop up. I've been waiting over a god damned decade for more not-stanley and my patience has finally been rewarded. Thank you Mr. Firth. Thank you.
the happiness within me you caused with this, good sir, is indescribable. I absolutely adore these and this new one brought so much nostalgia yet it feels so fresh. thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️
“I don’t mind any of the names but I rather they call me Gurshwin.” 😭 I seriously need more Not Stanley content. I need new obscure quotes and phrases to say awkwardly to people I meet.
Hell yes. I lost all hope of ever seeing Not Stanley again. As I understand, you lost the ability to make them. Well then go out there and GET yourself some focken abilities
Just looked up the old Not Stanley videos because of some quotes living in my head rent free for years and find out there's a NEW ONE? Thanks for this meal for the mind!
To all the people suggesting he make more of these, from my understanding there is a reason he hasn't and possibly may never make more of them. All of the voice lines were improvised and recorded in a single session that he then took and created animations for afterwards. He said that when he recorded them he was like in a trance and all the nonsense he was spouting came to him naturally, or something along those lines, and since then he has not been able to reproduce that state of mind. This was made from leftover audio from the original session. I don't anticipate to ever see more of Stanley except in my dreams.
After so much time you can tell the subtle improvements in David's animations, there are more subtle movements, more fluid transitions and the characters look less static than in the original Not Stanley episodes. Call me petty, but I actually prefer the stiffness of the old Not Stanley episodes, it just fit the theme much better imo.
I love how it's just extra audio and it makes the same amount of sense as a regular Stanly episode
firth did confirm that the entirety of not stanley was simply a random stream of consciousness he did
That's the strength of the format. Stanley could tell us a story about rats and a blue toothbrush, and it'd still work because it's a strong format.
It fits the disjointed "old man can't remember what story he's trying to tell" theme of the series.
It's not extra.
It's original.
David Firth is a Prophet

YOU BETTER TELL ME SUMTHIN!!
I AM SMOKING; INSIDE
So this guy comes up to me, THERE'S ALWAYS A GUY COMING UP TO ME.
YEAH I GOT BALLS! I GOT FUCKIN HUNDREDS OF THEM!
YOU WANT SOME CITRUS FRUIT?
The chaotic story telling is what I stay for. It's all so lovely.
yea :3
What you STAnleY for.
@@scaathreykr now that's a streeetch! kudos

Go tell it to The System.
The 10-year-old story arc of Not Stanley fighting the system has finally concluded!!
This is only the beginning. This is not the conclusion. There was never a conclusion.
@@feralcyborggaming1531 you can conclude a couple a' times but five's pretty excessive in my view
@@TheFaceSoapim not interested in your view!!
This might be my favorite series of yours, though I can’t explain why lol. Thanks for the hours of entertainment!
It's the nonsensical fever-dreamish'esque dialogue which makes a wholesome experience.
it feels like an accurate description of how americans talk from the outside looking in
I guess it's because it's one of the few David Firth stuff that isn't creepy or too weird
@Don't Read My Profile Photo
Don't worry; we won't.
That's so lame.
It isn't a series. He made a few of them, but they were one-offs, there was no series.
Not Stanley is my absolute favorite series of yours. It’s so chaotic and off the cuff but you can still see a line of logic to it.
line of logic
Glad to see that Gershwin's still not a serial killer. This series deserved a continuation.
He killed a lot of people but they were one-offs, there was no series.
And about the people he did kill, he just let them go... released them into the world
He made a bunch of episodes but they were one-offs, there was no series.
Stanley is that one uncle that's done it all, lived it all, seen it all, has a story for everything; but you know it's all bull'.
ha we think alike , we love this mans creativity
My partner had an uncle like that, and then the bull all turned out to be true.
@@hughcaldwell1034 Damn, how did ya'll find out?

@Andrew Ballard
Some stay dry, and others feel the pain. Either way, pulling back to breathe is important.
Breathing is, paradoxically, both necessary and irrelevant.
Stanley's eternal battle against The System is one of my favorite conflicts in fiction
I could never figure out why but Not Stanley has always been my by far favourite thing to have ever been created by David.
It's funny, charming and still somewhat uncanny all at the same time.
David is finally back with another quality video as always as a Christmas gift for us, so proud of him.
Oh hey I know you
Quality video is a stretch.
Truly never thought I'd not-witness the not-day that Not Stanley returns. Bravo David, thank you for the many years of entertainment.
Not-returns*
What a man full of life.
And contradictions.
The artstyle you do is timeless, it never gets old watching new or older content like this. It holds up so well!
I've been missing Staniel. I'm glad you found him.
Damn, I was all about Stanley for a period of my life. I still quote it to this day
Love everything you do brother
Agreed 💯
Tots
He kicks puppies
@Don't Read My Profile Photo balls
You can never predict what’s going to happen next but it’s somehow still all connected
The moment we've all been waiting for
Yes❤️
I understand why a lot of this was cut, but it's still really cool to see this kind of behind the scenes look into the Not Stanley series.
For me, there is some indefinable property or mix of properties in Stanley's voice. That is, I think that the character's voice is inherently amusing, and his delivery that approaches shouting somehow adds to the hilarity.
This voice actor, whoever he is, could read out the lines of one of my computer programs, and I would likely be on the floor with an unstoppable fit of violent laughter, until someone calls an ambulance.
Ha, I was just thinking of rewatching this series, and then this appears, like a gift from some mad god.
I remember watching this original series in my twenties when it came out and not knowing wtf was going on. I now appreciate it all so much more. Thanks for sharing this lost episode!
The not stanley videos were always my favorite ones. So cool you put this out! Thank you!
David your work is so influential to me!
For example, I want to buy a Christmas card to put in my house now because of this!
Thanks for everything you do!
When David uploads you know it's gonna be a good day
That blink exchange at the end made me laugh more than it should, good job daddy david.
Great to see new content! Glad you pulled it out of the ether.
Your content has been a major inspiration in my horror videos. Thank you for all the entertainment and inspiration
Ah yes, finally more content for the series which for some reason became a foundational part of my personality
Can't believe I found this 7 minutes after u guys uploaded.... feeling special. Is this what Christmas is about?
hahahahaha the fourth-wall break at 2:32 is perfect
I'm so glad we got another episode. Not Stanley is one of my favourite series David Firth does.
DUDE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS YOU DO.
Can't believe there's a new one.
Same. I hear his quotes run through my head all too often. My favorite is "YOU-MFER! You better have learned something, d***su**er!" Goes through my head at appropriate situations.
@@Kehwanna it's such a wacky cartoon!
Now this is some real character building with our favorite 1940's lad Not Stanley. Maybe someday he'll get that shit he always wanted.
I feel like this educational video made me significantly smarter. Thank you Mr. Firth.
The colonel may have got the better of him with the golden jewel business, but at least he was able to tell a cop when to sit
Yes this is plenty weird enough to make us all happy - thanks Mr Firth!
I love Not Stanley as much as I love Stanley. Absolute legend.
David, I love you and I thank you for doing this. You have inspired me since I was a kid to become an animator. Only this year have I realized that I can really do it, I don't need anyone to tell me I can.
Return of a classic
One of my favorite series and that’s saying a lot considering every series is amazing
New Not Stanley is the best Christmas gift I could have asked for
I can't tell you how elated I was to see this episode pop up. I've been waiting over a god damned decade for more not-stanley and my patience has finally been rewarded. Thank you Mr. Firth. Thank you.
Was not expecting another installment of this series, love you for this man
I wish there was more of Stanley but I'm glad we got what we've got
It's great to see Stanley again
Too normal, but okay. I'm glad you're uploading anything.
I can't believe I get to see this with my own seeing eyes before I un-exist
This is one of my favorite series of yours, so pleasantly surprised to get more of it!
the happiness within me you caused with this, good sir, is indescribable. I absolutely adore these and this new one brought so much nostalgia yet it feels so fresh. thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️
This was always my fav series, and idk why, I think just the "train of thought" story telling gives it a pacing I enjoy lmao
oh man, one of my favorite ever Firth series-es!!!!!
to this day i still quote the "YOU MUST KNOW SOMETHING" one lmfao
“I don’t mind any of the names but I rather they call me Gurshwin.” 😭
I seriously need more Not Stanley content. I need new obscure quotes and phrases to say awkwardly to people I meet.
The visual of him eating question marks was FUCKING BRILLIANT
2:32 The detail to peak animated films at its finest.
Hell yes. I lost all hope of ever seeing Not Stanley again. As I understand, you lost the ability to make them. Well then go out there and GET yourself some focken abilities
Ecstatic to see a new Not Stanley in 2022, thanks big man.
Holy shit!! My favourite series gets a new episode, never thought I'd see a new Not Stanley.. Love it!!!
The best of the Stanleys was lost but now its found and time to be thankful
this makes me want a new new not stanley episode so much
Not Stanley is one of the best things ive seen on the internet. And this is the best one ever. And boy did i need this today
Didn’t expect this today.
Always wanted to see a revival, I will 100% take a some of the old stuff, editing is as top notch as ever
hell yeah, Not Stanley is my favorite series, glad to finally have a bit more of it, although it is the end.
It's such a great thing to see another episode of Not Stanley. Not Stanley is one of my favourite things you did
Just looked up the old Not Stanley videos because of some quotes living in my head rent free for years and find out there's a NEW ONE? Thanks for this meal for the mind!

Wonderful! Thank you David for being an Artistic genius.
I'm absolutely glad to see my favorite artist still active.
Please make more Not Stanley episodes! I know it's been years but they're some of my favorites
It’s an old excuse alright , it’s one of my favorites
David- you are making my month with this.... idk how id get through Xmas without this art

Wow, I did not expect to see another episode again. I've always loved this series. Some of the lines are lodged deep in my brain. Thanks David!
1:46 Me describing my best friend:
this really shade a new light on this character everyone love.
Good to see a post from you! Hilarious video, good content as always :) !!! Love it
Another Not Stanley episode?! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
You been doing good at editing I was stoked to see that you made another not Stanley episode
I never thought I would see another episode of Not Stanley. It was really my favorite of your stuff.
THIS GUY WALKS UP TO ME
loved this episode. I WAS BORN WITHOUT A NAME
Not Stanely is easily one of the interwebs finest moments!... 😀
I love this series so much. Thanks for uploading them.
Been watching your stuff since high school, you’re by far my favourite animator. Going to buy some prints and a plushie when I can afford it, cheers.
I'm not calling him gershwin. You gotta earn that name.
YES!!! This is my favorite animation of yours. I am so glad to see something new with Stanley!
I didn’t realize I needed this in my life but thank you
I've waited years for this
I am so glad it's here
I am EXTREMELY thankful for this extra video.

this is definitely my favorite series david. very happy to see another one
This video is the greatest thing to happen to me this entire year.
*pays $20 bucks for a pack*
"i felt like a millionaire that day i felt like I'd beaten the system"
I would have never expected this but I'm so happy
Damm I love not stanly.
Very cool to hear some more from the old recordings

Really love the Not Stanley series. Just have vivid memories of being baked and absolutely pissing ourselves at how he walks.
