    It's so tragic that it's the unfinished exit door that tipped Kaufmo over the edge into insanity, seeing as Caine was building it specifically to make the Circus members happy. In fact, Caine was trying to actually let them out, he was attempting to the best of his ability to build a real exit, and only failed because a reality outside the Digital Circus is something beyond both his comprehension and ability to access. The false exit was constructed with no malic, rather indeed out of a desire to bring comfort and felicity to the humans in his care.
    The door was built with nothing but good intentions, but it took Kaufmo straight to hell.

    • @TheScarletSlayer
      @TheScarletSlayer Місяць тому +305

      There can never be an exit unfortunately.
      To be able to exit would be to somehow convert their code into a physical 3 dimensional being in another plane of existence.
      It's like us playing in a sandbox game. From our perspective it's just a simple game. But from theirs we mine as well be a god.

    What's really tragic is if he had participated in the Theme song he would have met Pomni who also saw an Exit and having another person see it would confirm that he isn't crazy, that he isn't losing it.

      @@MeloniestNeon I believe the rules of abstraction were revealed early on to add more stakes from Pomni's end. If she doesn't remain sane in her new digital home, she could end up the same as Kaufmo.
      This could also set up some narrative parrallel between the both of them if the future episodes plan to reveal more of Kaufmo's story later down the road.

    I really love the contrast in the lighting at 3:00 it feels straight out of a film and I always theorized Kaufmo was only second to Kinger in terms of time spent in the circus and I this shot just showed how different they were, one who managed to come to terms with the fact he was trapped and lost his mind and now ignorant but in bliss while the other one is still desperately trying to escape and cling to whatever sanity is left as he knows far too well what will happen if he doesn’t leave. It’s also the only time he ever directly speaks with someone else as Kaufmo was pretty separated from the rest of the group and I love how his voice sounded in that monent

      Now hold a sec, I wondered if someone had abstracted and got sent to the cellar, wouldn’t the game “logically” emit the player out of the computer screen so they would return into the real world (I think I found out that The Amazing Digital Circus was a fictional 90s-2000s computer video game) We all also know that Pomni got sucked into the game due to wearing a gaming vr headset. So we know that she was playing the video game which she got sucked into

  • @Fleshdothboiled

    I think Kaufmo's main problem was that he took his new body too seriously. Just because he's in the body of the clown didn't mean he has to be funny, or push himself to be funny. Jax dosen't eat carrots, Gangle dosen't tie things together, Pomni dosen't make silly performances, Ragatha dosen't get punted around like a...
    My point is, Kaufmo could have been anything. He had infinite time, after all. I think to survive in the circus, you shouldn't shape yourself to what it tells you to be- or to the body you're given. You should shape yourself to what you want to be, and what you can do with it.

      Yeah. Also Jax might have been in the Circus long enough... Who knows for how long? Either way. Jax might have never finished his puberty. And now the lack of anything truly is a remarkable thing to check. Because he has perhaps self taught himself that chaos is fun. But he truly isn't driven by testosterone anymore even if his body may believe it. He can be unhinged, he doesn't feel afraid because he knows the contextual part of his reality well, but he is not going to feel satisfaction for real, he can't cry.
      And I think Jax could cry of anger. Because he is really angry. Because he doesn't want anyone or so may he shove in his mental programming, but he can't truly not have eternal fun, so when he becomes frustrated enough... How will he find relief? What if Caine has to pause Jax or straight up ban him?? Leaving him back on the level select only to have a lake or a carnival where there's nothing to be had other than sterile entertainment.

    What breaks me is the fact he doesn't smile AT ALL in the episode. Not even when he's abstracting (plus it actually makes it less cliché horror!) It's filled with dread, doom, depression. Please, care about the people around you who you see struggling. If you are struggling, call a hotline. It's not a weakness to reach out - it's a great strength.

    Dear lord you captured the essence of it so PERFECTLY!!
    Kaufmo having social anxiety also seems pretty likely on my opinion, i know from experience what stage fright is like
    And Kinger comforting him, although not in the best way, you can tell he really was trying
    And the ending with Kaufmo abstracting, how he just sat there an accepted his fate, showing perfectly how he had given up all hope right Than and there!!
    Truly a masterpiece!

    The animators that worked on this should be hired by Glitch. This is the best fan animation I’ve ever seen! I really loved how you guys envisioned the abstraction of the exit being a hallucination and not real and then all the chaos when he was writing exit. I saw all the joke pun lines like “clownfish” but also “why aren’t you good enough?” and “what’s wrong with you?” and other similar phrases that the others may have told him. I also want to say the voice actors did a great job on doing the impressions of the cast, especially Jax, it’s very hard to do a Jax impression and I’ve seen no one do it as good as this. This fan film deserves WAY more attention

  • @SpaceChannelJules

    ok first things first THIS WAS SO GOOD! BRAZILIAN ARTISTS FOR THE WIN!!
    second things second now I totally headcanon Kaufmo as someone who struggled with social anxiety (or just being in the spotlight/center of attention) in real life- but because he ended up in the clown avatar Caine forced him to do comedy performances which is basically his worst nightmare. He tries his best not to embarrass himself and be at least somewhat entertaining but he was never the "funny guy" irl and no matter how hard he tries those things really don't come natural to him.
    Also whoever voiced Kinger was so good!!! Wow!!!

    On top of this already being a masterpiece, the music capturing the mood (as well as the lack of it) is IMPECCABLE. Silence to pure cacophony when he realizes he’s going to abstract, and the reference to the theme song at the end.. amazing work!!

    I have a feeling that even though Kaufmo is dead, he's going to be one of the most interesting characters.
    I doubt though that he just abstracted by himself, and it's actually one of the other characters series that's been messing with his mind so much with led to his abstraction, in some sort of twisted experiment to figure out how the game works so they can escape it.

      @orionyxe 3 місяці тому +14

      I think you’re right. I have a feeling that Jax, while possibly not directly intending to, contributed to Kaufmo’s abstraction. After all, Gooseworx said he deserves to be in the circus the most of all the characters. Maybe that’s why he didn’t go to the funeral, but also looked upset at the mention of it. There’s some underlying guilt there. I also feel like Jax might be the closest to abstraction in TADC tbh, but that’s just a theory.

    There is a theory that everyone in the circus if there to face a fear or get over some kind of Unhealthy obsession, like how Zooble in the real world might of been obsessed with the way she looks so in the circus she looks all jumbled up and such. So my theory is that Kufmo is actually pretty shy and has terrible stage fright that's why he is shown as the funny on stage clown

      Yeah, that actually was the most vicious thing about all this. There wasn't a steady slide down into the abstracting: he was lucid, at the very end.
      The way the scene is presented, it seems like it's saying he might have been saved if he hadn't been alone.

    Even though this is not official and is something made by fans, I must say that this Fan-Film is well made, every time I saw Kaufmo having panic, fear and despair, I felt very bad for him, his desperation to find the way out. It led him to become abstracted and turn into what we saw in chapter one.

    This somewhat reminds me of the Spiderverse Short Film. The eerie environments, the shaky camera, the small sketchy boxes. Everything in this film reminds me of the Spiderverse’s style in a way, and I love it. The voice acting is also phenomenal! The way everyone sounds, it sounds exactly like all the actors of TADC. I wish I was recommended this earlier.
