Been a big fan of the individual projects of Neil for years, and after I found out how much of these were made by him I realised that it was a topic worth discussing. Hope you guys enjoy!
I bet Jahmas is waiting behind that door
what happened the first time it uploaded
RESPECTIN THAT DOLLAR SHAVE HUSTLE, FAM
I had to make sure that I hadn't left a podcast running. Is Blue Apron sponsoring the next one?
I thought black sheep.animated and upload it to UA-cam
Neil Cicierega's career can basically be summed up in "He did THAT?"
Ariel Needs Legs
I like lemon demon,had absolutely no idea it was him.
I had no idea Neil made "Bustin'"
*”HE did that?!”
@@l00pd3l00p HE DID THAT?
*Honorable mention:* He ALMOST made the Gravity Falls opening song, his version can be found on UA-cam.
holy heck, I remember hearing that version on Soundcloud. HE DID THAT TOO???!
also his sister, Emmy Cicierega, was a storyboard artist for Gravity Falls
And he DID make the song A Goat and a Pig and you can find a version sung by him. He also wrote a villain song for Bill Cipher that wasn’t used.
ight so neil is definetly some kind of eldritch god
HE ALSO MADE THAT "ITS GONNA GET WEIRD" SONG THAT ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE SHOW!
Neil "He made _that_ ?" Cilantro
Did you just call him Neil Cilantro? His last name is OBVIOUSLY cucumber
@@MarioGenerations smh no his name is Neil Carcinogen
no, it's Neil Cylinder
Neil calceate
neil cicis pizza
The David Bowie of the internet - you know his work better than you think.

Was he in a bad Spongebob episode?
@@MrPiccoloku yes!
perfect comparison
Hopefully Neil isn’t also a statutory rapist.
Nice shirt
When I was editing this I said to myself, "I bet Jenny comments the words 'nice shirt' and nothing else."
Mommy Jen, what are you doing in this neck of the woods?
Marvel: infinity war is the most ambitious cross over ever
Quinton:
this back and forth of these two commenting on each others videos is my favorite thing
Thats some super OP shirt
Nah I don't think I've ever seen anything by this guy...
"Ultimate Showdown"
Oh
"Potter Puppet Pals"
OH
"Brodyquest"
O H
"Bustin'"
OH COME ON
Everytime I talk about Neil Cicierega, this realization happens ^^
Mine was the same, minues the potter puppets, which I completely have not seen before this video's clips, though, now I know what to search on youtube when I get bored.
Trey Nantz ...really? Who did you think BUSTIN was made by?
Neil Cicierega is an omnipotent god, and rules over us with his iron fist, that has a puppet on it. Check out his other stuff, embracing our overlord is worth the while.
He's the Elon Musk of UA-cam
Not going to talk about spirit phone? Ok
my favorite album.
@@just-some-menace6138 Same
OML YESSS that is my fave album of his-
I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SONG IN IT
its so _damn _*_GOOD_*
Bro how could you forget Two Trucks and the Ariel comic?
mithrilbookofmystery bro i fucking love two trucks
@@inkystix5327 same. holy hell. Two trucks havin' sex.
Wtf he made the right legged Ariel comic too?!!
WHAT THE FUCK?
I'd swear that Ariel comic was by a different guy last time I checked.
THIS GUY WAS TWO TRUCKS???
he also made the legendary ‘ariel needs legs’ comic
Sangled Holy scripture
Sangled hey I’m subscribed to you aswell :)
Seven lasagnas.
Sangled he's just an omnipresent figure
His most important creation
There's no proof that Neil Cicierega isn't the originator of ALL memes.
Louie Salmon Right you are. And if people disagree they can shove it right up their jacksies.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Dolan Dark, Grandayy, HowToBasic, and pretty much all UA-camrs that don't show their face, are all just Mr. Cicierega.
All 4chan memes comes from one anon: Neilanon, Reddit memes? All Neil alt accounts, Ytmnd? All Neil Cicierga
Zero wing was one the first memes, with its shoddy european port. It was released in 1992. The same year 7 Grand Dad was released.
@@pokemonfan150TM12 Funny.com? Neil. Funny gif of rob schneider saying you can do it? Neil.
Neil Ciceriglycerin was also the genius behind animutations, "Ariel Needs Legs", the songs Goosebumps and Two Trucks, New Kids On the Rock (at least, part of it), Splendorman, Year of the Snake, and countless other assorted UA-cam videos. He has 10 non-mashup albums; 7 under Lemon Demon (as well as 2 EPs, Nature Tapes and I Am Become Christmas, plus all of his unreleased music), and 3 under Deporitaz (originally "Trapezoid"). This guy is an absolute legend. I mean, he had an article written about him at age 14 titled "All Hail Neil Cicierega". Not to mention, he looks like a 17 year old at the age of 33. I'm convinced he created the entire internet. Go give his albums a listen! (Pro Tip: start with Spirit Phone. You'll thank me later.)
-sincerely, a man who has no life.
thus proving neil slice of pizza deserves so much more recognition than pewdiepie
Man, I knew I was in the right place when I discovered Nail Carcinogen.
Neil croccicier is my favorite band 😍😍
I'm not entirely convinced that Neil isn't immortal just because he looks like a high school senior, or even a college student at most
I thank you for recommending Spirit Phone, I am now addicted.
Neil's sister, Emmy Cicierega, is also an accomplished storyboard artist! One of her most noteworthy contributions is to the storyboarding of Gravity Falls
She is also working on The Owl House.
They both are just extremely lovable and I can’t believe that they both sometimes aren’t even known by so many.
Holy shit.
@@pratima2209 STOP THE OWL HOUSE TOO?? :0
@pratima2209 AND the fiona and cake show too :3
The inconsistencies with the stickiness of the picture of Neil on the wall and the pronunciations of "Lemon Demon" and "Cicierega" adds yet another layer of enjoyment to this video tbh
Lemon Demon
Lemon Damon
Leemon Deemon
I had a moment when he said “Lemon D i m e n” and I searched it up, think I’d been wrong about the name being pronounced “Deemon” the entire time
Lemon Demon is actually God Tier, all 4 latest albums are 10/10
@@tombstonejones9581 leemon damon
Theres multiple different answers in the replies and I'm so confused. How. How do you say Lemon Demon. Wh
Neil has always been my main inspiration for everything creative. He's not in your face, nor does he lower himself with clickbait or any of that crap. Neil has made his success solely on his content alone, and you can't help but respect him for that.
Neil is the kind of person all content creators should strive to be. He's never prioritized relevancy over the quality of his content, and it shows. *A **_lot._*
Yes! Even something like "Conch" or "The Interrogation" is as hysterical today as 5+ years ago.
He does what he loves and does it for pure enjoyment. It's really admirable.
What I like the most about people like him and Jerma985 is how they always try to move forward with their content instead of just stay with their current level of production. It always gives you something to look forward to.
HammerMC Love jerma
This dude and his sister also made Splendorman. He really has created every single internet meme.
I didn't think I would have yet another moment of "oh shit, Neil made THAT too?!" but here we are

@@reneholly7994 unfortunately, i'm joking
@@AccountingDerek Oh. It does seem like something Justin would do though. ,
Usually with these kinds of videos I just go "Yeah, I know. I know this guy did this. Everyone does."
This video though, my jaw actually dropped because I knew all these internet phenomenons, but I'd never realized they all came from the same person. That's actually incredible.
same
The most shocking of them all in my opinion was brodyquest cause that video is fucking everywhere!
well, at least in the older days, I'm not too sure about now though
Neil is the founder of modern internet humor.
Right?? Like, how was I supposed to know the author of Harry Potter Puppet Pals, made brodyquest, and Daft Mouth.
He's also invented the Content-Aware Scaling memes.
Yep. Yknow those scrambled meme face gifs? That's him.
Doofus Wait, really? That's nuts! I can't find any sources on this - but I really wouldn't be surprised to hear that he at least popularized them.
Enlighten yourself my fool: neilblr.com/post/42948042669
Content-Aware Scaling already existed through photoshop, but this use of it and the script was invented by Niel. The script itself was probably used for discord photo editing bots like NotSoBot (RIP).
I don't think he invented the meme, he just helped spread it by making the guide. It started out on a thing on Something Awful around 2012 and even then it existed outside of that before neil
Jesus Christ...
Ive been a rabid fan of neil for like a year this is got damn news to me dkdjdjjdjej
He also made the “eight legs seven vagaínas” comic

Dang Zenigata
@@celestix_ I was born the year view monster came out... Much too late
Finally, my boy Neil getting some love. Seriously, check out some of his non-parody lemon demon albums, when he uses his powers for good he writes some damn fine music.
Attila The Pun Redesign Your Logo and One Weird Tip are just plain awesome.
Cabinet Man, Two Trucks, When He Died and Angry People are some of my favourite songs of all time.
Even some of the parody music he creates is amazing
Even his older stuff like Damn Skippy is really good.
Wait he does Lemon Demon? I had no idea! I seriously love Touch Tone Telephone, Cabinet Man, and Eighth Wonder. That’s so cool.
met him last summer at boston comic con. his wife, ming doyle, is a fantastic comic author and artist so he goes every year to watch her table when she has panels or leave for whatever reason. he's a chill dude, and really nice.
oh he also was the main writer and composer of most of the music featured in gravity falls. that's a big deal that you failed to mention.
Robert Long Actually, only one song that he wrote for GF made it into the show (Goat and a Pig)
Riley is right. Also his sister Emmy was a storyboard artist for the show.
On the subject of gravity falls.
"Its gonna get weird" something i knew very well in like 2016 when i was in the gravity falls fandom that i only recently learned was my favorite artist
HE DID THAT TOO?
That's actually a reason to watch that show too... that *is* a big deal. Why not mention it even in passing?
Edit: The comments in response answer that question.
this guy is well known for way more than I ever could've imagined, holy shit. I just really liked his Lemon Demon music.
he also made AC/VC. this man is the originator of every music based meme in existence.
WOAH
He made "Super hey ya" aswell.
Neil has been a huge inspiration to me. Not in the way that I based my content on his, but his creativity and humor has always just pushed me to work on something and pursue my projects. I respect him as a person and as an artist. Really enjoyed this discussion about him.
Also, d"It just screams: "I'm marching along, I'm doing it proudly, it's leading me somewhere, hope it's not off a cliff..." is very, very apt.

When I first found out that Neil Cicierega, the maker of Potter Puppet Pals, had also made The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, and that furthermore he also made All Star remixes, I realized that this was the most amazing man on the internet.
Fool, he IS the internet, and I don't know where I stole this comment from unfortunately
Neil is a figure I “rediscover” every two years or so, and I’m always renewed in my admiration. It’s also important to keep in mind that he was born in August 1986, which means he just recently (in November 2019, as I write this comment) turned 33. This means he was under 20 when fanimution was being developed. He was 17, freshly 17, when the first Potter Puppet Pals was released.
You don’t even really touch on fanimution in this video-which I understand-its a deep dive into Albino Blacksheep, and it really takes a lot of analysis about media and playing on how we interpret things (ie purposefully misinterpreting foreign songs with English lyrics).
I truly think that his media styles could be shown in schools. I went to film school, and fanimution and his mouth trilogy especially have thematic and stylistic consistencies that I think qualifily it as an experimental genre of media, and I’d be excited to see what experimental media classes 20/30 years from now look like, because I truly believe he deserves a place in them.
I wouldnt say he was the first one to make "animutation" but he kinda was.
His early animutation stuff was so iconic, Japanese Pokerap is classic
AND HE HASNT AGED PHYSICALLY SINCE PUPPET PALS
as someone turning 18 in less than a week, Neil is the only person who genuinely inspires me but also makes me feel like I’ve accomplished nothing
@@abbyejones do keep in mind that Neil was homeschooled from fourth grade on, and his father was a computer programmer!! doing weird internet projects WAS his schooling so it makes sense he had more time to make ultimate showdown and the like
he is literally just the dad of the internet, he literally made a song where he yells at you and expressly forbids things as your father
AS YOUR FATER I EXPRESSLY FORBID IT 🗣🗣‼
NO I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT WE'LL BE HAVING MACARONI YOU WILL BE POLITE!!!!
Word Disassociation is perhaps Neil's most brilliant, yet underrated work.
This is one of my favorites!
Know all the words
ENEMY LASAGNA!
ROBUST BELOW WAX!
I love Word Disassociation. It's brilliant. Amnesia Was Her Name is another good one, as well as the Pointless Machine (?).
Its just "The Machine" I believe
wow, i never knew that the guy who made ultimate showdown also made brodyquest...AND is also a "soundclown" masher
this guy is freaking amazing lol
He's a lot of things tbf. You should check out his proper music, his newest album Spirit Phone is my person fav and his brodyquest song is a part of his Nature Tapes EP which has six other equally bizarre songs.
He just doesn't flaunt it ("MAKE SURE TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON AND SUBSCRIBE BELOW ALSO MERCH LINK IN BIO") which is why I love him so much.
THE SoundClown masher
and also two trucks having sex lol
And he started this career AS A CHILD! His mashups came to my attention just a few years ago, so I asked Jesse Walker if he'd ever heard of Neil Cicierega, and the reporter said he'd reported on him as a phenomenon many years earlier in an article that I'd read and had simply forgotten.
"They help me dream"
Neil: *wakes up in cold sweat in the middle of the night*
"that's it!"
Lol true
This was a good summary and analyzation of Neil Cicierega's work. He was definitely one of the people who shaped the early internet. 👍
No love for spirit phone?
IKR??
It's so good.
eh, javabean is better
Lemon Demon in general
"Goosebumps",
"Vivid Memories",
and "As your father I expressly forbid it"
are some good entry points to his music.
He has a lot of songs which evoke or capitalize on childhood nostalgia in a new and interesting way, rather than just being memes.
A lot of his original songs have a lot of thought put into them, and often if you listen closely you can learn about their obscure, interesting, and occasionally unsettling real-life inspirations.
"Spiral of Ants", based on ant mills
"Redesign Your Logo", based on the bizarre (and publicly available) design process documents behind Pepsi's hundred-million-dollar logo redesign.
"Reaganomics", based on, well...
One of my favorite things about his songs is, when listening through a track for the sixth or seventh time over as many weeks, I'll suddenly realize what the song was about the whole time. Spirit Phone in particular is amazing, and delves into the supernatural in a corny, ufology-is-real, grainy-90s-bigfoot-video sort of way. And yet, when you finally figure out their inspiration, they suddenly become less silly and more... sinister.
no eyed girl is about a guy that simps so hard for a cthulu he dooms reality as we know it, soft fuzzy man is about a nice guy ghost
Obviously the objectively best Niel Cicierga's song is "When He Died"
that song is honestly so awesome. practically gave me chills
You’re at the Party or Fine is Neil’s best song
I agree
Tbh 90% of his songs are
Yeah, I guess the many human skulls found within his mansion made it a good song.
I've always looked at "Bustin'" as "Ghostbusters" with a pretty bad concussion.
Bustin makes me feel good!
"IN THE BEGINNING" > starts with like, Neil's *third* big hit, lol.
Potter puppet pals predates ultimate showdown by two years, and both of them came after his first megahit, Animutations, which you didn't even bring up.
Also you left out Windows 95 Tips and Tricks, What's Dylan Grillin?, The two video games he made, Ariel's legs, his more recent video project Guaranteed Video...You barely scratched the surface.
I was gonna say... that animutation with the Pee-Wee and Harry Potter heads, that's the thing I actually know him for.
lol i was gonna bring up animutations too. good shout
I mean, no.
Animutations in no way was as big a hit as PPP or Ultimate Showdown.
@@caesarin0 It was probably just as influential in its own way though. It created a whole genre of Internet video.

Neil is great, I fucking love his music!
His sister’s art is also awesome and has been long time inspo for me
Ohh! Who's his sister? I need to look this up immediately!!
Emmy Cicierega. I think she's worked on Gravity Falls and Ducktales. Also, Neil made a song to be used for the GF opening but wasn't used in the end. Mother. Fucking. Macy's. Sale.
his music is so gooooooood
@@scheddoc His singing is the worst singing the world has ever known.
it USED TO BE the worst singing the world has ever known. by his christmas EP, he became pretty good at singing. listen to spirit phone
I saw Neil in the title first thing I thought of was " LEMON DEMON!!!"
Remember the comic “Ariel wants Legs?”
That was Niel’s sibling.
It was Neil *AND* his sister
Still great tho
those silly "doris the housewife" comics were emmy's doing as well
Emmy also worked on Gravity Falls btw
@@sterlingdragon123 and now the owl house
absolutely ecstatic that neil is getting some recognition. guy is unbelievably talented, and so many people know some of his work but not enough know about him himself.
Another thing he accomplished was being mistaken for a cute butch
Ugh No fuck you mean mistaken?
or a twink
You're killing me not mentioning Emily Cicierega - I followed her before I followed her brother, and she's a huuuuuge part of all of Potter Puppet Pals, as well as later cartoons like "Ariel Needs Legs." She's a spectacular artist and deserves her credit.
Anyway thanks for mentioning the perfection that is Bustin'.
Niel was just a one hit wonder like a thousand times
I first heard of Neil way back. Like WAY back in 2001 when he was still doing these bizarre music videos set to Japanese Pokemon songs like Animutation. He was barely even a teenager back then, and it was some real art house mindfuck material that was somewhere between Monty Python and an acid trip. The highest quality example of this was Earth Vs. Funk, the final work of this genre.
Yeah I was kinda disappointed this video didn't go even further back. His animutation stuff was a true original meme.
My guy, Neil never made anything merely *like* Animutation. Neil is the originator of the style. Barely a teenager and he was already a cultural icon.
I thought Wizard Power was his last animutation.
Wizard Power was his curtain call. Animutation basically died about 9 months later. I still love it.
There was a decent sized group of people making animutations of varying quality all the way through 2012 and if you look deep enough, you can find a scant few still trying to make them today. Animutations are some of Neil's greatest artistic contributions in his entire time creating, despite him not even having invented the genre.
I've worked on and off to try and preserve as many great, good and even merely decent animutations as I can in mp4 video format, so that when Flash dies it doesn't take this incredible genre with it.

are we not gonna talk about Spirit Phone?
What's stunning is that you've barely scratched the surface. Before Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny he was creating animutations, which were a gigantic meme pre-UA-cam.
Sean Riley He's credited as having created animutations as a genre by a lot of people. I have no idea if that's accurate, since that whole meme was a bit before my time, but still - what an incredible mind.
It's honestly really amazing how Cicierega managed to jump from trend to trend over the course of UA-cam history, all without seeming like he was trying too hard to stay relevant. And (having not had access to Internet that wasn't dial-up until about 2011), I can't begin to comprehend how much he's modified and influenced the UA-cam content landscape. Great short essay!
I really want to know about the dial-up thing. question: how? Why?
Not sure what Aubrey's experience is, but I know I've lived in the country since I was 15 and there was no high speed internet until a couple of years ago. No cable. There was only dial-up.
He's been around since before UA-cam, yo. Newgrounds and Albino Blacksheep are where he got his start.
Samantha Port ok, that makes a lot more sense, but still, 2011? Dang.
Shahyah Darioosh I meant Neil Cicerega has been around since before UA-cam. Idk what's up with OP having dialup in 2011. They probably live up in the mountains/hills or out in the country where it's hard to get decent internet speeds.

I would say I see you everywhere, but then I realized that we have somewhat similar tastes so you know Neat.
Why. Do. I. See. You. Everywhere.
The crazy thing is that this only even gets Neil Cicierega's UA-cam phase. Even before that he had a massive impact on flash animations in like 2001 and basically pioneered the dumb 'animutation' style of flash videos that were basically the standard from 02-05. Nine out of Ten sociopaths agree, you've gotta see HYAKUGOJYUUICHI.
I was surprised to find out how far back his work went. I found this flash animation called "Captain Lou Albano's Steady Descent into Madness" from all the way back to 2002 and, big shock, it was done by Cicierega as well. This man is pretty much a synonymous of the name "Internet".
I haven't thought about that site in years. To be back in 7th grade, playing Counter-Strike and linking people his Flash animations on ABS (using AIM, of course!) On one hand, I feel very unaccomplished with his internet resume at the same age, but at the same time, my parents didn't homeschool me and let me pursue any interest as long as it was constructive, as apparently his parents did. And he came out a total weirdo, like homeschooled kids do, but in a good way. A perfect way.
Mashing “You Oughta Know”; a breakup song written about Uncle Joey from Full House; with the Full House theme is one of the many chefs kiss songs Neil has done.
Neil is a epic nerd and I respect him for that
Everyone should respect Him
oh, this is cool! I've ALWAYS wanted to do a similar sort of project of basically making songs with similar chord progressions and musical motives and just slamming them up against each other to hear how they warp and change.

You skipped over a whole huge part of Neil’s early viral recognition - hyakugojuichii and animutations
sometimes i remember popular songs wrong because ive listened to the mouth trilogy more times than i can count. notably i always expect "love shack" to be mixed with the psycho theme

I was hoping you'd also talk about his less popular comedy sketches. They deserve more love, as does his fiends who are regular collaborators in those sketches. He's done a lot of different stuff over the years, and recently came out with a text based nostalgia game called monsterbreeder which is super fun.
Splendorman still holds up to this day
year of the snake is a more recent but still good one
I love this man, I really liked They Might Be Giants and after listening to all of their best songs, I wanted more and then I found Neil and Lemon Demon, and he's essentially the modern version of TMBG
I believe that that's because that's one of the points where Neil takes inspiration from, you might also like oingo boingo
"Wndrwll" is the best piece of artistic expression ever conceived of by any species in existence and nothing will ever change my mind about that.
Gungywamp yeah too bad it keeps on getting taken down for copyright reasons (even though it’s fair use)

Having watched a few of his mashups the last couple days, I wasn't sure how much I'd actually be surprised by. The MOMENT he starts singing "The Ultimate Showdown," I went "Wait - HE did that?" Out loud. Just like Quentin said I would.
Ah, Newgrounds. The good old days. I've watched Neil much back in the day, he was truly a legend, at least to me.
I can't tell if your profile is Ruby Rosr or not
+Alexei Strife Isn't that a Love Live character?
Ruby Rose, or the profile picture? I was referring to the protagonist of the cartoon, RWBY, myself.
It *is* Nico Yazawa from precisely; Love Live.
Whelp. Thanks, you two.
This video dropped 3 days ago and since I've been bingeing Neil Cicierega's content. 10/10, the dude is a freaking genius.
Heck, you're right.
I never knew about this dude, but I remember all this stuff he did.
huh
If there was a bunch of famous people at the end of the world and you had to pick a team to trust with your life, I would pick Neil Cicierega in a heartbeat and our team would win. Everyone would be preoccupied with how amazing he is that we could easily defeat them in their distraction. Neil will become the king of the earth
Mouth Moods was the best album I heard in 2017.
It's a legit masterpiece.
No mention of Trapezoid/Deporitaz, his New Kids on the Rock days, animutation, or his sketches (mainly Slumber Party).
This man has done everything.
Animutation borderline invented YTP so it's probably the biggest overlook.
I see animutation and ytp as separate art forms but I see the similarities definitely, especially as YTPs became more advanced with animation, chroma key, masking and so on. I guess what I'm tryna say is that pre-spadinner seems like it came from somewhere else
TL;DR WMM =/= Flash
Technically Ultimate Showdown was Trapezoid.
Bustin' makes me feel good.
Neil is basically the human embodiment of the words "He DID that?"
I always thought his name was a Greek curse. Glad this video cleared that up
hey i love your videos
I recently heard touch tone telephone and it's been stuck in my head for weeks, love it.
Send help.
Jinzo Okami I thought it was only me...
Someone save us
Same, but also 8th wonder of the world (HELLO, I'M HERE, I'M LIVING IN THE WALLS)
Walko Talko cabinet man bb
Spirit phone has really claimed a spot in my mind.
Lemon Demon as a project is overall fantastic
About a year ago my friend introduced me to some stuff Neil did. I started listening to more of his stuff and then a couple of months ago I found out that my cousin is friends with Neil and they live in the same town, which is honestly one of the coolest things I've ever learned
I love Neil's work, I grew up watching all his videos with my mom. He is one of my favorite musicians, he makes wonderful comedy sketches, and potter puppet pals was one of my favorite things to watch in childhood even though I didn't like Harry Potter. I still follow him, and while he doesn't post often, he never fails to make my day better.
1:41 say the line, bart!
Quinton: old godzilla was hoppin around, tokyo city like a big playground
me: [cheers]
Knew of all his work except Ultimate Showdown. I was so confident I wasn’t gonna be a “oh shit that was him?” person. I’ve been a Neil fan for a while so I felt a little superior. Then Ultimate Showdown started playing and I thought “Oh shit that was him??”
You’ve humbled me, QuintonReviews.
Neil Cicierega is the best person on the internet.
I'd say he's the personification of the internet
Having met Neil several times, he is an adorable cinnamon bun of a human being whom I always want to carry in my arms to safety. Or just taxi him wherever needs.
"I'm marching along
I'm doing it proudly
It's leading me somewhere
I hope it's not off a cliff"
Honestly, some up-and-coming music artist needs to make a song with that as the chorus
Yes. Bonus points if it's Neil Cicierega.
The guy pioneered the concept of using jpeg cutouts in flash aka Animutations when he was 13 and put them on Albinoblacksheep i understand this is what you described as a "Cliffnotes version of his career" but that's a pretty big cliffnote to exclude
"They help me dream." Wow, foreshadowing
