love you guys ❤️
As an aside, I love the theory that Trevor only being able to speak in beatbox represents how bad he is at communicating.
thats definitely what its meant to be
A reference to gumball?
I love how after the breakup, they each have broken parts on them to represent the scar left by the relationship
@bobbuzza Omg this is exactly what I thought
Imagine if he becomes a better person and finally starts speaking normally and they become boyfriends again...
(I'm too naive for this world and not mature enough to accept fictional characters breaking up)
it's so real, this is exactly the representation we need. we need the cute fluffy stuff, but we also need the realness that comes with any relationship. not everything is sunshine and rainbows (ha, rainbows) in gay relationships, because they're just relationships and there's nothing different about them
I completely agree. A relationship is more based upon feelings, communication, interactions, etc. One's relationship preferences doesn't change the fact we all can encounter these troubles.
ong fax
rainbows is rainbows
Even lumity has some bumps in the road.
Bro you are talking based (I guess like Trevor)
When trevor said “bOOmsickitaboom-chh” that really made me emotional fr
Real 😞
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTRRR4RRRRRRRRRRRRRRW6R78W6Q3875R17!!!!!!!!!
That made me sad 😔
I mean, it was incredibly clear from the start that they weren't good for each other. Navigating that kind of thing, especially in queer relationships can be really difficult. Things don't always work, and I'm glad that Bloo was able to recognize when the relationship wasn't healthy. I see a lot of queer-centric media falling into the trap of either "everything is perfect", or conversely, "everything sucks". It's nice to see something that acknowledges and even explores the complexities that are inherent to relationships.
This feels like a breath of fresh air to see this. When gay relationships in shows are portrayed as flawless and never having any problems or arguments gets really annoying after a while. Real relationships have bumps in the road no matter what type it is or what sexuality either partner is. And it takes a lot to realize that may you weren’t meant for each other and when it’s time to break things off.
boyfriends ahem ahem
Yup… happened to me, just wasn’t going to work out.
Yeah, as much as it's great seeing LGBT+ couples together, sometimes grounding ourselves in the reality of relationships is something that needs to be shed light on too.
Arguments, conflicts, fights.
Every relationship, even platonic ones, will see this happen. Some of them move on, some of them don't.
And with that, this film does not an excellent job in showing what I mentioned above.
(I'll be honest, I have a feeling a homophobe might accidentally watch this and even LGBT+ couples have breakups too lol)
true
@@noitby nah thats a disgrace
I actually went to school with the guy who voiced Bloo and I'm proud to see him doing well keep up the good work Dustin.
Yooooo thanks Kenny!!
@@dustinvuongnguyen omg senpai notice me!!! I love ya man ☺️
@@Yoboy_Kenny
Is that really him or just another impersonator?
@@user-nf1bz3sn4z no that's him alright my friend Dustin i hope to make it to his status and do voice over project as well I'm really happy to see him make it cuz it gives me hope that i can do it too
@@Yoboy_Kenny cool,
you two boyfriend?
I love how as the channels change, Bloo follows aswell in certain aspects such as tone and appearance relative to the context. Whereas Trevor is just...TREVOR. Well, most of the time. He does change in appearance aswell, but he mostly just stays the same throughout.
what about 4:04 ?
People say opposites attract, but it's actually really hard to maintain a relationship with someone you have little in common with. These two have very different tastes in friends and fun activities. Trevor doesn't compromise, and Bloo tries to change Trevor, to the point of using verbal and physical abuse. Bloo is petty and will bring up everytime Trevor messed up, even the accidents. That makes Trevor dislike being around him even more, which leads to him ditching Bloo, who is insecure about being left alone and will try to change Trevor again. And the cycle continues. Break up is hard, but it was the only way out for these two.
"*Beat boxes in Spanish*" had me in my grave, lol
I laughed too hard threre
And don't forget "Beatboxs in Italian" too 😂
DONT FACK WIT MEH
Jaja y el "¡no me joda!" Fue épico
I really loved this animation as someone who has been in a relationship like this. Trevor probably doesn't mean any harm, and it's clear he cares, but, it can be emotionally exhausting to be in a relationship where someone feels so emotionally distant or careless. Bloo's realization that he kept lashing out because he wasn't happy and finally putting an end to it was one I could really relate to.
Super well-done animation that showed the complexities of these relationships really well.
all Trevor wanted to do was open tp industries with Ron
Had the same. He just wanted his fun and was just like Trevor. Didn't mean harm but also didn't care when i told him i would like to spend more time together without drinking. And even during our bar visits he was always with other people, so I also had to talk with different people. After 2 years of this (the relationship was 8 years long) i more and more began to lash out in frustration cause i felt lonely but nothing changes. Even after a year, the breakup hurts but this relationship went in a direction that could never be repaired.
That ending song! Dam!
They were both just not right for each other. Trevor seemed distant and distracted precisely Because of Bloo's narcissistic personality, always calling him dumb, maybe even attracting a guy like Trevor because he enjoys feeling intellectually superior, it's super common. They both had their reasons for acting the way they did, but it didn't excuse either. So in the end it was best to just part ways.
@@SpriteWildyeah bloo's narcissism came out in some of the jokes. I hope they can both have healthier relationships with other people.
I was emotionally invested in the ending and the pain of breaking up with someone and then it just hits you with “sorry about your balls” gotta be one of the worst mood killers I’ve seen.
AHHH I AGREE QWQQQ
Fr tho
I mean it represents the awkwardness involved in real life breakups pretty well.
the exact definition of "we'll never work out in any universe."
4:13 "Local twink" has to be my favorite part of this video 😭❤
He is the local twink tho
you just unknowingly made a homestuck reference
@@EZEKIEL-j9h thats just about the saddest thing i ever heard get said
@@whact im not sure you can hear stuff through comments on UA-cam, but you do you man
I love the commitment to the appliance head character designs; like when the waffle iron guy would talk by flapping his mouth, Bloo literally turning up the volume to yell, making one of your protags mute because he's a boombox??? It's all genius. There was so much care and thought put into how to make this world feel alive and make sense
i mean he kinda does still talk. bloo can understand him
he’s just… a boombox. and he sounds like one
Yeah and in the toilet scene the people outside waiting, the Tomagatchi person has a crap icon on it’s face!
@@siggymilfordjigutzpilgrid The hair dryer was smoking too
WHAT?!?! THEY NEED TO COME BACK, THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE ANIMATION IN THE WORLD 😭😭😭🙏🏻
this was so cathartic for me as someone who recently went through a heartbreak just like this with an emotionally unavailable, terrible communicator. as bad as it sounds, i was really hoping that they wouldn't get back together and i was so happy that they didn't because i really felt comforted and validated by bloo's feelings and experiences.
You're too self centered to realize that Bloo is a narcissistic manipulator here. He's not the hero, he's also a problem, if not THE problem. It sounds bad because it IS bad. You wanted to see them fail because you can't handle the idea that maybe you could've evolved as a person, but you DIDN'T. You CHOSE not to and just put it all on your S/O. That's on you.
@@warweasel2832Wtf? Dude, someone doesn't have to relate to Bloo to a T to relate to this.
@@SkylarThompson-mu1qs There's "relating too" and then there's "cheering on".
@@warweasel2832Forgive me for interjecting - but you know nothing about anyone in this comment section, lest they be someone you know IRL. It’s unnecessary and foul to be so hostile for no reason - especially to someone who was voicing how they related to an ASPECT of a character. They don’t embody Bloo to a T, nor are either Trevor or Bloo innocent in this situation.
Trevor is a horrible communicator, and often neglecting his relationship with Bloo.
Bloo is overly clingy, often twisting things so Trevor appears at fault.
Relationships are a two way street, and its important to not only respect freedoms and boundaries, but never ignore your partner either.
Stop being a dick, man.
@@warweasel2832 It's unfair to put all the blame on Bloo when it's clear that Trevor is not a good boyfriend either
Have you ever felt exhausted from just watching an animation? Yeah, that's what it was like for me watching this video. Being that I've been through this exact scenario, it was draining to be reminded, yet it's exactly the kind of representation we need. It's a beautiful film that reminds just about everyone that it doesn't matter who you are or what you might be, heartbreak is the same emotion we all potentially share
I'm aromantic so I can't really experience love or heartbreak. Art like this really helps me understand what it's like for most people.
I feel it is only natural to share heartbreak. I feel it may be something we may all go through
I mean this is a video I’m glad to have seen, but I never want to watch it again
@@DrBepis-jo7qt I'd keep watching you bro
"it was draining to be reminded, yet it's exactly the kind of representation we need."
1.- Why do you say so?
2.- And why do you say that it's exactly the kind of representation we need?
"it doesn't matter who you are or what you might be, heartbreak is the same emotion we all potentially share"
3.- Well, so true, man.
I'm enamored with this film--the character designs, writing, everything
I honestly didn't know this was a student film until I checked the description, yall did amazing!! This deserves way more attention than it's gotten
glad to see others supporting their own kind
It actually looks like your persona could be in that universe!!! 👏👏😂
Well it’s only been a few days of being out. Nearly 200k views in two weeks might turn to 5 Million eventually, you never know. Just leaving positive comments, sharing, and rewatching will do lots for the algorithm.
FR I expected millions of views!! I hope it reaches there!
same
i absolutely love the uniqueness of this, the main character (bloo) using a remote and turning the volume up for trevor (the beatbox person with aux written on his chest) to hear him, the DVD screensaver reference, the electronics that reference nintendo, apple, and more, the references to sitcoms, movies, shows and VINE BOOM.
I've watched this three or so times now, once when it came out and twice more recently and it really sticks how much I love this short. Not all gay partnerships are sunshine and rainbows, and showing two very flawed people who obviously do mean well for eachother to some extent, just fall out and realise they're not right for eachother. One thing I did notice though is a lot of people siding with Bloo. Trevor is uncommunicative, a bit selfish, brash, and doesnt think before he acts, but Bloo is dramatic, judgemental, and someone who will drive it into your skull how imperfect you are for your faults, acting as if he himself is perfect. And it really is a great thing to me. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has a crutch to keep themselves sane, but Trevor trying to take that crutch away was really hurtful to me, someone who has his own vices. But Bloo's constant talk of imperfections and mistakes would drive you insane.
In the end, the two weren't good for eachother, and in my headcanon, may have gotten together out of "necessity" because they were both just two gay dudes. I went through the same thing in highschool. It sucked but i learned a lot from it.
I love this short to bits.
Plus, pipi making a cameo was real sweet.
Awww that was so fun in the most sad way, haha. A surprisingly nuanced view of a failing relationship, with incredibly interesting and creative presentation!! Bravo!
Seconded!
it was funny, but in the end I cried a lot

This somehow encapsulate everything I love in animation, character design and storytelling in one 9 minute short, this is some next level stuff. GREAT JOB!!!
yeah i agree
GREAT JOB!!!!
9 minutes? it feels like 1 minute for me!
i like how finding you in the comments of a good video is how i finally find your channel lol
This is the gay rep we need.
i love how they are making a reference to The Office and at that precise moment 4:41 he says that he is not a drama queen, and the character that he plays is Dwight Schrute, one of his characteristics is to be a dramatic or be a comical dude.
As much as I love a story where two disconnected partners try to work things out, not everything and everyone has a happy ending. This is a great example of that in such a creative and chaotically beautiful way. The one who didn't want to break up and tried everything to keep him and his lover together realized that what he was doing wasn't good for his health, so he had to drop him. It's a great storyline in 9 minutes and the ending original song is an excellent wrap-up to it all.
I hope everyone has a great day and an amazing pride month!
This was absolutely brilliant and insanely creative!! I love how they went into a bunch of TV genres and films, the voice actor for BLOO do a splendid job and I like how at the end he realises that he was acting toxic in the relationship and decided that moving on would be the best thing! Great job to the whole crew and everyone else who made this possible!
I'm the voice actor for Bloo! Thanks for enjoying the movie!!
@@dustinvuongnguyen you rocked the dubbing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They were both toxic to each other.
7:57 me telling my gf I’m gay at a ramen restaurant:
woah..
@@nyan_katzimma tell you the story :3
So I told my sister I was gay and didn’t want me and hopes relationship continuing and so I gave her hints(my gf/ex gf) and my sister, Jaylen said “remember the cute guy we saw earlier” and then I said “bro you should’ve told me about him” and my gf, hope was like getting weird about it like “Uhm..”
And then later I told her “I’m gay and I’m trans masc”
She ran away and cried I ran after her telling her we can make things out but yer friends were like pulling me back saying random questions “why were you with a girl when your gay” which is a reasonable question actually but later like 5 days after valentines we broke up but we’re still friends just distant
Oh dear lord I never thought a short film would resonate so much to me. I have a brother with a boyfriend in a relationship like this, it's actually pretty bad. But they both fail to realize their relationship is unhealthy despite breaking up twice. Never seen this person before but my god this is wonderful, kind of wish my brother was more like Bloo here, accept its over and move on
I was bloo 😭
@@avocadoguacamola7872i was the barrel 😭
@@Barbantescolol
Man espero que tú hermano habrá podido darse cuenta en la relación que está y que lo habrá podido superar
@@giopotatoz i felt very offended when he threw me like that 😭
As sad as this was I liked it, it was a great change of pace from the usual “oh and they get over everything and nothing bad ever happened” is disregarded for a more real and understandable outcome cause sometimes it is just better to move on rather than trying to save somthing that’s already long gone fuck I loved this
It’s about being strong enough to make the choice of separation in the apex of the drama they don’t reflect on past moments well loved and remembered rather bloos own inability to stand his ground in the face of abandonment and it’s beitiful fuck
Personally If there is a continuation of this beutiful world and story I don’t think bloo should get back with the beat box dood cause of his literal inability to communicate with bloo along with everything before if they would get back together it would invalidate everything else entirely but yeah I’ll stop rambling I just really fucking loved this
@@bigecheese9039 I AGREE W ALL OF UR POINT SO BAD, I love this short film so much !!
I guess imo
(4:20) i love how he made a reference to 90 day fiancé’s or something.
As a person who absolutely loves object head characters I absolutely loved this animation!! 🥺😌
Not only did I like the designs of the characters (the side ones r also so incredible! I just had to pause to look at em), but the colors and sounds are so good! Besides how well executed was represented the different types of television programs, it was really fun to watch!! ✨️
Bloo basically suffers from a disability where he replies on a device to stay alive and without it he has a stroke. But in this case his pase keeper is OUTSIDE his body where it can easily get LOST. Great representation and honestly a really fun concept to play with!
oooo I like that interpretation
There's this device that prevents seizures.. This concept is realistic.
I don't think it's that. I think it's Bloo literally losing emotional (remote) control, like Bipolar or such. He flies off the handle and starts chewing out Trevor in a bathroom at a party. Trevor wrestling him for the remote is him trying to steer Bloo back to being emotionally stable, but in an unhealthy way (like "just drop it").
@@warweasel2832Finally someone who acknowledges both are mutually bad people and bad for eachother! I'm sick of people villainising just one of them.
Remember kids, just because your SO is the same sex as you doesn't mean you can zone out of the relationship and act like a man child. Love takes work.
Also watch where you step, or you may be trapped in an endless nightmare of cable television.
And always remember to keep spare batteries
Also, being introvert dont give you the right to act like an asshole to your extrovert partner.
@@evgeniblanchard675 Thats true.
I burn people who dare try to make a relationship with me
It's sad to see how people call this animation "another LGBT victory" and only look at the presence of gays, and not at the development of their relationships, good plot, beautiful character designs and smooth animation. Great project
this giving off serious tawog vibes, and also making me cry
"Happy Pride month"
"They broke up lol"
Why you have to hit us with that at the end😭😭😭😭😭😭
Because that's pride. You have to have pride on who you are individually, not you being an item with someone. Both are still gay but now fred of a toxic relationship, that's why this video was needed
Your pride comes from you not only if you're with someone else
@@nothere3982 I was a bit wary reading through this, but...that's actually a damn good point-

@@makemecryy *clapping noise*
What I find most interesting about this film is how the TV channels represent the stage of their relationship
80s sitcom: the "honeymoon" phase. They were joyous and carefree, with Bluu loving Trevor's airhead and "cool as a cucumber" personality, and Trevor finally having someone who can ground him. Even at big problems, they laughed it off and treated it like it was very silly
TLC channel: The problems were starting to get more dramatic and noticeable, but it was over silly things, and Bluu probably just thought these were small, when in Trevor's mind, he felt as though they mattered AND was constantly interrupted in favor of Bluu's solution, which in the end, made him bottle up any negative emotion
The Office: This is where the issues with Trevor start to present themselves. No fly list, vacations gone up in flames, and while Bluu was overdramatic, Trevor's reckless lifestyle was start to hurt the both of them, but Trevor didn't care, based on his annoyed expressions.
The news: Just to recap what happened in the first scene + show Trevor's at his breaking point
Telenovela: Their problems are now at the point where they're screaming and yelling at each other, and it's getting to the breaking point for Bluu, while Trevor's trying to keep things afloat. Bluu, at this point, is giving up on the relationship and has decided he would put his own needs beneath him, if it means keeping Trevor. As for Trevor, he ignores these problem and probably uses his partner's investment on their now toxic relationship as a way to make himself the victim, which leads me to:
BTAS: This is how Bluu sees their relationship. Trevor is always being the "hero", saving himself from Bluu, even when Bluu's mental health is deteriorating. Bluu is becoming more angry at himself and Trevor, believing this is all Trevor's fault and "How can Trevor let this get so bad"
Game Show: Bluu's realization. It wasn't easy, but it was important. He needed to realize that while he loved Trevor, their relationship is beyond saving and he must take control back of his life (which is shown when he uses the remote).
This is where we circle back to the 80's sitcom, where Bluu realizes that he shouldn't have been laughing at these problems, but instead taking them as red flags, but what are red flags when you're wearing rose colored glasses?
Love this!!!!!
I mean if you're wearing rose-tinted glasses, every flag will be a red flag.
@@enalosloqia6422but if every flag is red than what makes it stand out?
@@gilbertgoosey it was a joke because "What are red flags when you're wearing rose colored glasses?" is related to obliviousness of telltale signs (red flags) for things. I think.
Apparently, "When you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags."
Also notable is that the return to the 80s sitcom is the first instance in which the reality that they’re “on TV” is acknowledged in the boom mics and the cameras falling in on them. Suddenly, Bluu realizes the level of toxicity in their relationship, and thus there’s a illusion that’s been shattered, as is illustrated.
Thank god this wasn’t a “ooh they fucking hate eatchother but they come back together oooh” type story
it's been 2 years, please I need them back together
As an aromantic, I really appreciate art like this because it helps me understand what it's like to experience love and heartbreak.
I get u but this video doesn't show it the right way like from the start
@@503pm9 | Yes, but rarely does media focus on this part of a relationship, and since I'm unable to experience it, I appreciate being able to share in every aspect of the experience through art. Even the bad parts.
🟢⚪️⚫️
Being aromantic is a superpower.
Same
It's nice to not have to feel heartbreak, but I'd really like to be able to love. Feels like I'm missing out on the human experience
I think what’s also interesting about this is that it’s the “twink” breaking up with the buff guy.
At least in my experience(or self esteem whatever) in the gay community,buff guys are usually assumed to be the golden spatula of everyone wanting. So when you date someone who’s conventionally attractive or you perceive as more attractive than you. You have a almost toxic relationship of wanting to “keep going” cause you’ll be having to find another diamond in the rough type scenario. But in this the tv guy had enough self esteem to begin with and leave by his own choice.
Yesss, I was thinking the same
Problem with my relationship is we’re both twinks
Don't put a quotation on twink
5:46 THE SIMPSONS
The fact they both ended up broken 😭
Wow. That was certainly a lot of emotions to go through. I already watched this 4 times already, and MAN, is the ending emotional every time. First off I just wanna say MY GOD, THAT WAS SO AMAZING! I LOVE THE ART STYLE SO MUCH, IT FITS WITH ALL OF THE PARODIES BLOO AND TREVOR ARE IN, the designs of the cartoony object head universe, MWAH, perfect. Props to the cast and animators sticking true to the style! The story was incredibly fast paced, but NOT in a bad way, despite bloo and trevor literally traveling through every show parody every 3 seconds, it still tells us how they feel and how their relationship works out. It all works out in the end though, well certainly not their relationship lol. The pace slows down a bit, making that last moment with them, really beautiful, accompanied with the lighting, music and all, that’s probably why I teared up too lol, cause I as the viewer also knew what was bound to come, like how bloo knew in that part. It sucks, I know if they stayed together, it wouldn’t be good and/or they would’ve had ALOT of making up to do, it was for the best. It just hurts cause how hurt trevor looked, and that we don’t get that much MLM representation in animated media. But again, not every relationship is peachy keen, or works out in the end, and that also counts LGBTQ relationships. So the breakup also had a good message. 9.5/10. CONGRATS to everyone that worked in this film and with the bronze award in SCAD. You did a good job! Can’t wait for other people to find this film, it’s important to see, by all means. 🧡💜🧡💜

This was greater then most movies and tv shows combined.

5:35 the shinji ref that’s so funny 💀
I like the story a lot. Sometimes, I enjoy when couples try to better themselves and work on their relationship to be healthier, but I let out a sigh of relief when a fictional relationship is going to be worse and the partners recognize that they aren't capable of fixing it.
And when the people in that relationship acknowledges that and breaks it off, it makes me feel some kind of happiness. Knowing when to break it off when it's not working out. It's okay to quit something that's not going to be good for the two of you.
Had they stayed, it was probably going to be worse and wounds from fights/arguments can damage them even more. It's not easy to fix a dysfunctional relationship. I hope those two men move on and grow as individuals.
Believe it or not, Trevor is the victim here. Bloo has this stupidly overly inflated sense of self importance like every narcist does and sees himself only as the victim. Heck, when it went into TV land and gave Bloo the room to actually talk he didn't even attempt to do it. The world revolved around Bloo. We can only see and hear only Bloo's perspective while we can only understand an interpretation of Trevor through Bloo. Trevor dodged a damn bullet and judging from those tears, it was the first serious one he had. Only a true heartless bastard would have zero emotion ending a relationship like that; otherwise that relationship had zero emotional ties. Trevor crying says otherwise though.
Both of them are bad boyfriends, there's no need to side with any of them
@@pedrocamara885 That was blatantly obvious though. Neither side had the emotional maturity, but it was only Trevor who had the drive to grow.
What I was doing was making a more important observation; Bloo is a shit person.
the cat he was petting in one of the scenes looked like pipi from the legend of pipi
CLICKER REAL!!! This turned out fantastic, the whole team really did fantastic work and the story was amazing, great job!!!
Welp, time to have the urge to make fanart of a student film’s characters once again
Y’all did wonderfully on this and it’ll probably remain one of my favorites for a while
what was your first student film fan art??
God, same
I do really like that this portrayed Gay relationship as having the same tribulations and difficulties as straight ones. It helps people understand that the 2 aren’t so different and that not all gay relationships will be perfect, because no relationship is no matter was sexualities or genders are involved.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE CAT BLOO IS PETTING IS PIPI AT 4:28 This is my fav cameo I never thought I was going to see LOL
Cishet white guy here. I appreciate this fairly grounded depiction of not just the LGBT community, but relationships in general. Real life is far from perfect, and sometimes there just isn't a solution to problems like these; plus, all the little media references and gags were pretty hilarious
What the fuck is a cishet

@@vincentmayhem6158 W answer.
Why do you preface your comment with cishet white guy? It has no bearing on the rest of your comment.

OMG finally!! A gay relationship is being treated as an actual relationship! Any relationship can go downhill! There’s no such thing as a ‘perfect couple’ it’s very refreshing to see that people get it. I always found it strange that they make those relationships perfect when I was taught that there was no such thing as one. I just thought that they were lucky at first.
The ' trapped in a tv show ' portion of the story was a perfect way of useing a story mechanic to trap the characters in a change of scenery for them to reconnect while simultaneously world building!
I love this. I was thinking they would try to work through everything, but we definitely need more stories where the relationship doesn't work out. Especially queer relationships. I love a functional relationship as much as the next person, but sometimes it just doesn't play out. Things go wrong and people aren't a perfect fit. This was beautiful in such a sad way.
Agreed! I love how it actually shows each characters flaws, even if Trevor can’t speak. It’s so expressive and I’m happy it took the turn of a break up. You don’t see it done well in most media. The film felt so real even with the weirdness and surreal attributes
4:15 I love how it says local twink XD
"*beat boxes in Italian*" HAHAHH LMFAO
Ikr😂
This is incredible! I could genuinely see this as a series. The characters are unique and super engaging
Agreed
petition to force them to make episode 2
@@user-nf1bz3sn4z ha, that’s a great idea.
Maybe Netflix might pick up on this one.
This reply chain upsets me deeply because I know it will never be a series
This short I wasn’t expecting much from but it was really good!
it’s really relieving to see a romance without the it being not overly perfect and mushy but also not too dramatic. bloo and Trevor aren’t bad people, no one was the villain, no one was the innocent protagonist. They where just people and It’s absolutely beautiful.
This was such a wonderful experience, hope we'll have more of it
The song at the end hit different
I think my mind transcends time because I swear I watched this five years ago.
Same bro!!!! I swear to fucking god
I had been looking forward to this short for months after seeing the production progress over at Instagram and I was not disappointed. This is one of the best animated shorts that has come out of SCAD in recent years and as an alumni from 2018, I am glad that more students are experimenting more with storytelling and art direction with their thesis films. Congratulations to everyone in the Clicker production team for an amazing work!
5:21 IM CRYING NOT WESTON BEING A VOICE ACTORRR
I love it hsjshjshs
The object show community is gonna go wild when they lay their eyes on this 🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥
I always enjoy watching two boyfriends arguing
Our professor showed us the film on our last day of class and it was amazing! Everyone was laughing and loved it so much, well done to everyone involved you guys did incredible!!
6:34 i wish there was a little ost for this part, its so good and bittersweet just like the ending. hits the feels hard
that one boombox character from the amazing world of gumball has really changed over the years
You had absolutely *no right* to make me feel this sad
5:12 I did NOT expect to hear the vine boom sound effect 💀
Me neither👺
I like beans
I just found this and I am obsessed with these characters!!
HOW DARE YOU WISH ME A HAPPY PRIDE MONTH AFTER THIS, THIS WAS ANYTHING BUT HAPPY!!!! (anyway love this animation, it was really cool and original and i may or may not be crying)
The 'The Office' reference was so good man, this was such a funny, relatable video, good work!
WE NEED A SEQUEL WHERE THEY BOTH FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR THEMSELVES🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
i had a friend tell me about this a while back when it was still in production and now seeing the final product im amazed with the production value, this is a project with time and care put into each and every part of it and i applaud everybody who had a part in the making of something so wonderful
This is an epic win for the gay community
and an epic loss for trevor's balls
RIP trevor's balls 😞
I was always unsure about bloo’s gender. Personally, I think bloo is TV-Gender.
@@SalemsRising Poor guy, he didn't deserve this
I felt so much emotion throughout it, I felt so bad for Trevor
Vox before Val 😂
Can someone like interpret this or something? I'm autistic and having Trouble getting the deeper meaning, i see a boombox and a tv argue between shows and break up but I'm struggling to understand if the remote or the whole labyrinth mean anything. Can someone yelp please?
What I feel the deeper meaning is is how not all relationships are perfect. It’s very common to see misrepresentation in gay films or shows, and this changes that. It really puts out the fact no matter what sexuality you identify as, it won’t change your relationship. It won’t always be perfect, so sometimes you need to just end it. In the film, Bloo and Trevor are seen constantly arguing. Trevor, in the first half, attempts to leave Bloo and get back to the party after Bloo says “If you’re really gonna ignore me, just leave me alone.” Bloo tries to retract his statement and want’s to talk about what’s happening with them. Trevor basically says he doesn’t want to talk about it, which leaves Bloo a little off guard. He doesn’t realize his remote fell, and Trevor accidentally steps on Bloos remote, while trying to tell Bloo off. They end up going into different shows or worlds, constantly arguing about everything. They clearly can not stand being around eachother anymore.
Until the last bits of the film, we don’t see them calming down for a second. They’re constantly picking at eachother. They finally find the remote that was lost, and fight over it. Trevor and Bloo both want to go back, but they don’t understand how to do it together. They eventually loose the batteries to the remote, and end up in a space full of all of their memories together. If you look closely, all of the scenes on the TVs are just them arguing. That’s when Bloo finally realizes, “Maybe being together isn’t something we should do anymore.” So Bloo breaks it off.
The remote was basically what broke them apart the entire time as they searched and argued. Seeing themselves suddenly surrounded by memories of them just complaining and arguing about eachother finally gave Bloo the courage to simply stop trying to salvage what they dont have. He was the one who wanted to talk about it at first but realized it’s just not gonna work out. It was toxic. Trevor wanted to try and change Bloos mind after realizing this is a more serious situation, but Bloo knows it’s not gonna get anywhere.
Hope this helped some of you who can’t really understand it, it’s a true work of art.
the jokes, the pacing, the colors, all of it. this was so good. a fantastic way of representing a breakup and going through various medias. shoutout to the twink!
Uh, did you notice that the twink is an abuser? Emotional and physical? Probably don't shoutout him.
This was so good!! I love how you begin feeling bad for bloo but eventually realise he is worse than trevor
That’s true
I disagree, I think Bloo was the mature one in the end who saw that the relationship wasn’t going to work. They had all their fights played on all those tvs, and Trevor holding onto Bloos remote and fighting for it signified how he desperately wanted control the relationship but was selfish about it and didn’t compromise as a team. They were just simply wrong for eachother and brought out eachothers flaws.
@@gints2766 I agree with you
@@gints2766 but everyone has their own opinions, but imma agree with you-
Yeah I think that bloo saw that this relationship was only gonna see them becoming more hostile and so ended things before it got there
"local twink" made me chuckle
Beatboxes in Spanish hits in four dimensions
I dont normally comment on videos but god damn this is my favorite short film ive ever seen. Everything from the animation to the dialogue to the character designs, its all so beautifully done. It portrays a toxic relationship so accurately and breaks it off instead of keeping it going with bloo’s empty, half-assed apology. So much of the symbolism is so smart and interesting, correct me if im wrong but i saw the channels flipping as a representation of all the times theyve tried to repair their relationship but it stayed the same. And god their expressions when they were exposed to all their problems. Trevor has a look of fear and slight guilt, like he knows its been like this but has put up with it because he cares about bloo. Meanwhile bloo has a look of confusion, like he had no idea how toxic he was being throughout the relationship. God damn this is so good, i could talk about it for hours. Super well done!
i think you got it mixed up, Trevor is radio guy and bloo is the tv dude, from my POV Trevor was being emotionally despondent and neglectful and bloo lashed out after being knocked out (which is never okay but fight or flight reactions) and started making excuses for Trevor's neglect cause he's clingy and overly invested in a relationship that's falling apart. then the tv magic happens and bloo finally realizes there's too much damage and Trevor wont change so he walks away, IMHO Trevor isn't crying cause the relationship is over, he's crying cause bloo woke up and realized how bad things were and that he was better off alone and it didn't end on Trevor's terms it would also probably help if we knew wtf trevor was saying with subtitles or somethin
@@ryanharris2341I think they were both toxic. Trevor was clearly reckless and neglectful, yes. Bloo was condescending and equally neglectful. Neither of them were putting in the emotional labor to make a healthy relationship. This made both of them lash out and be toxic. The whole relationship was unhealthy.
@@ryanharris2341
No, they were both toxic
Not to mention bloo resorted to hitting Trevor a lot, which is often looked over in both gay and straight relationships if it’s the smaller partner doing the abuse.
@@ryanharris2341 They're both broken at the end. The breakup hurt them both. Bloo is anxious attachment, Trevor is avoidant attachment. They're both emotionally draining on each other because their communication is not compatible (Trevor is literally speaking a different language).
5:19 IS THAT WESTON KOURY? I adore this short film, its genuinely so hilarious and creative, the animation runs so smoothly and the artstyle is beautiful in aesthetics and creativity. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!!
i came to the comment section just for this “KALYNN KALYNN IM ON TV” i love it😭
I THOUGHT SO TOO
how the hell a buncha students did this is beyond me but everyone who worked on this should be very proud. well done! 👏👏
i personally loved *beatboxes in italian*. truly an inspiring line from Trevor
