“If I Was God” | The Screening Room | The New Yorker
Everybody in the comments are just saying “If I was a god..” but nobody is saying how amazing this video was done. This must have took forever. This is great.
Exactly.
there's literally a guy just below your comment saying that 1 month before you did
Your right we’re just pointing things out.........but yes I do feel sorry thx for reminding me.😁

It's not that good -that is why ! Not everyone shares your opinions you know ? Ok bye now
99% of people were probably thinking “Oh no he’s gonna shock himself.” But I was worried about how he’s gonna lick something that he just stuck into frog guts.
My response was "Oh God he’s gonna shock himself, and that's something that he just stuck into frog guts, not to metntion the
perservatants that were used on the frog. YUCK!"
I liked disecting, but the smell of the preservatants always made me nausous.

Omg sameee

That was sooo deep.
And of course, in your world of "OMG" and "weird" and "these sort of things" you could never even heard of Cordell Barker.
SAME.
He wanted to be God all way along and in the end he felt that moment of perfection. World's perfect with just the way things are. Everyone needs their moment of realization.
😅 wouldn’t call the world perfect but deffo here for those moments of perfection!
Ooh
The world isn’t perfect
@@Tristanbechillin yes

Just do it
As someone who went to John Henderson and is currently in the same high school Cordell Barker was in, (an alumnus plaque with his name is on the wall, right by the front doors) it’s so weird and cool to think that we shared some of the same classrooms. He’s one of my favourite animators.
"You see, If I was a god, I wouldn't only use my power to punish"
Me: how nice. he'd also use it for good
"I'd use it to get what I wanted"
Also me : oh
😂
Just like Yahweh.
If you went to heaven
But God said
You stabbed a frog

AANG!
Really every thing is matter

This was about kids doing stupid stuff and permanently damaging themselves and even coming close to death ( the process of what it feels like to die in a kids mind). This was pretty deep. Feels like it was inspired by psychedelics.
Are you implying kids doing psychedelics? If so thats a really interesting way to interpret it.
This has a strange, dissociative feel to it.. and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s nice, though scary in a strange way. I guess the style of art and animation only add to the eerie feel, if you ask me
@Rorschach yeah dude XD
True. Your vocabulary impresses me very much. I am pleased... You should use your intelligence for something more than UA-cam... Perhaps, maybe, better nuclear weapons for the soon to rise Soviet Union.

This animation is so cool! It's so fun and charming, and the claymation mixed with the 2D animation is so impressive. You took a very simple, very typical 12-year-old-boy concept and made it into something so bizarre and yet so lovable. I've just about fallen head over heels for this.
If I was a god, I wouldn't exist..
Wait! That's amazing!
4:40 sick 190° triangle there
Pomodorosan It isn’t a 190° Triangle it is an obtuse isososolies
I spelled that so wrong :(
MMDDoge NO A RIGHT ANGLE IS 90° AGHGGAGHAGGHAGAGHGAGHGAGHHAG it is most commonly shaped like this “L”
Pomodorosan hmmm. 40 instead 30.
A triangle can only have the sum of its angles to be 180 degrees. In the video its 190. That's the mistake.
IKR? It's needs to be a 180 triangle ;-;

How to become God:
Step 1: Invent a time machine
Step 2: Invent immortality and apply it to you
Step 3: Go back 2000 years
Step 4: Tell everyone you are god, and time passes they will start to believe you, and make a religion out of you
We can make a religion out of this
(Bill Wurts reference)
you would have to be eternal, all powerful and Holy. the devil tried, c where it got him. good luck buddy

Me too! Too much jumping around between different styles.
It's so strangely cozy at the end. I do believe the God simply heard his wish and helped to fulfill it a little. And that is great.
The animation is beautiful and I like it very much! The creators are great!

What does it mean by 'God'? What is this term's exact definition? We don't know.
The ordinary person will tell you that it is an all powerful and all knowing being.
The Religious person will tell you about his religion's God(s).
The Scientist will tell you that there is no evidence of 'God' or God-like beings.
The Dystopist will tell you that 'God' is a term for a higher but evil being, 'ascended' by technological or universal means that intends complete global wrath.
What is your definition of 'God'? Please let me know in the replies!!

Dont forget the basic ones
U don't have to be a 'god' to see perfection.its already here,with you.
There's a reason why we aren't gods. We're too easily corruptible. Easily blinded by our own desires. I'm glad I'm not a god. Too much responsibility, and too great of need to be careful. Too much to live up to, and would it even be best if I was a god? Certainly there would be someone more suited than me? I'd become a force of nature, but at what cost? Would I bring peace, or destruction? Riches, or poverty? Acceptance, or fear. I'd probably go into hiding eventually, or just become a spectator.
I'm not fit to be a god, and that's the honest truth.
Jacob Fritts God doesn't really exist. We can tell by all the innocent people being dejected b god even in need.
God is real, the earth and all that CANNOT MAKE ITS SELF NO ONE CAN BUILD A PLANT, AN ANIMAL OR YOU GOD MADE US SO WE WOULD WORSHIP HIM AND THANK HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE, are you Jewish?
Jacob Fritts luckily the true living God had a plan of goodness to save everyone!
In a way we are gods. We are creating a reality on this earth, as a mass of humans. We are at the top of the food chain and look what we have done to our world with all that power.
Its not bad being selfish. What is bad is not being able to see what you are. All beings are selfish, even god if there is one. He created life because he wanted to be happy he wanted acomplishment. When we help people we do it because WE want to feel good, that make the someone you are helping feel good. Just because we are selfish dosnt mean we are bad

Is this a stop motion video? This is so amazing! It is so meticulous and precise motion! I respect this! I also make stop motion. I hope I'll keep doing and make a video lile this someday! I am so shocked! Is this a company?
