This is scarier than 98% of today's horror movies. Just the thought of having my body and brain bring taken over by the watermelon disease is terrifying.
Yea😢
Oi Jô GT c vc de HD k me DJ só se😮
Cringe
I don’t know why you have to exaggerate things. The video was amusing at best, not a heart-attack-inducing horror movie.
True
This is the most realistic animated short film I have ever seen. It really show the reality in my life. God, I hate turning into a watermelon and being eaten by a ton of children!
I know, right? It sucks
Same bro i feel it...
Huh my friend is missing I just gave him watermelon... I think it was expired
it’s absolute TORTURE UGH :(((
I know this is sarcasm but it's not suppose to be realistic... I mean like it's an animated story not a real life story so idk why you guys are being sarcastic--
4 years later, and it’s somehow become even more terrifying…
Yeah the kid eat watermelon the kid dies and the kids eat his watermelon corpus.
😨😱😭😭🍉🍯
I was fucking traumatized by this when I was only eight years old.
5 years now

@delta YT ur a F*cking cling clown 🤡
the fact that the kid literally turned into a watermelon and none of the kids cared or even looked at him like he is weird kind of tells me this is a common problem in this world. it kind of worries me the other kids literally saw their friend turn into a watermelon, didn't care, didn't ask where a random watermelon came from, and just ate his corpse without any remorse is kind of scary. also what would it feel like to be slowly turned into a watermelon, just your organs growing and turning into plants and eventually your brain would be completley transformed and you would die. also i know this story about a guy who was eating peas and a pea went into his lung and grew inside of it
He got his revenge since they will all have the same fate as him.

Moral of the story: don't eat watermelons unless you know where they came from, you may be commiting cannibalism.
It's Real?
i ate a water melon that was in a river once 0_0
it was just foatin down, didn't know where it came from. just cut it up and ate it
@@WaffleBreakfast wait wtf
@@WaffleBreakfast wait how did the watermelon end up in the river
well it's only cannibalism if it's STILL a human...he turned into a watermelon, the children aren't watermelons (yet) so it wasn't cannablism.
Very terrifying, especially at around 0:33 (when the seed went in the stomach) and a few seconds afterwards, I can see after images of the seeds!
I remember watching this when I was little and being scared for 6 or 7 years thanks CGMeetup

Since I watched this when I was 6 years old, I did not eat watermelon for 8 months, and every time I saw watermelon, I would cry out of fear.😂
Literally this is what our parents told us when eating watermelons.
NEVER. EVER. Eat the seed, or you'll have a watermelon in your stomach, or maybe... turn into one.
maybe they are lying to you
I love how, of all places the plant could grow, it does it in a pool of acid.

who cares??????? obey to your parents, kids!!!!!!!!! lol

Seeds can grow inside of you but you’d have to inhale them into your lungs. It’s not a very likely thing though
That was honestly kind of horrifying.
I know I think I'll have nightmares

Wait... *worming*
Actually, when you eat a watermelon seed, they move through your digestive tract without being digested, so watermelon seed are perfectly safe to eat.
broo it's a joke
@@markrober6969 No its a cautionary tale
🤓
@@ImNotRoad ok furry
That's only half the truth. The shells of black watermelon seeds are not just indigestible, but also hard and sharp. That can cause injuries if you ingest too many for the body to surround them with softer matter on the way through the digestive system. With Watermelons being almost entirely water and hardly any tissue, that's easier to do than you think. It's not a smart move to risk getting half-digested feces and intestinal bacteria into the bloodstream.
However, if you chew them properly, Watermelon seeds contain valuable nutrients that would be a waste to just flush down the toilet undigested, or toss into the garbage.
This ain’t a animation , this is a horror movie 💀💀
Agreed😖
We really going to ignore the fact that he ate almost an entire watermelon slice in 2 bites.

As someone who eat watermelon in pieces and without the seeds, I am relieved
What's even more terrifying is halfway through the animation Jimmy begins to embrace it, which means the watermelon disease not only directly changes the victim's cells to plant cells, it eventually starts to manipulate the victim's brain.
Jimmy:*Slowly turns into watermelon*
The other students:I'm gonna pretend that I didn't see that

So wait a minute: does that mean the first watermelon in the story was once another disobedient child?????
Yes
But eating watermelon seeds is good for organism
deer child you will know later in life when you brain turns smooth like mine
Is this COVID-watermelon? How it started, because the children at the end ate the kid from the beginning...Then they spread being watermelon...Or zombies...Because the kids at the end ate a ‘other kid’...yea

It seemed that the infection took two days to complete. And after it seemed that he infected 5 other people. If thoughs five people infected 5 more kids each after two days. It would take 24 days for humanity to be eradicated. Let that sink in.
I dont eat watermelon
@@RiedCarloCLibao well, you’d be one of the last people left in a dead society

i still remember when i was a kid ( 5y/o )i swallowed watermelon seeds and then freak out if the seeds will grow in my stomach and my mom says "No, the seeds can't grow in ur stomach cuz they don't have oxygen and sunlight ."
And try growing in literal acid
also unless you get the seeds right from the farm, the stuff is gonna be frozen which is gonna kill the seeds!
Or dirt
Your stomach has acid and in one day the watermelon seed would be eliminated
@@haydenpresident1233 no they are supposed to be eaten, then you walk around take a dump and voila that's how watermelons migrate.
Why did my school make us watch this as kids?
Maybe they wanted you to know what watermelon body horror is like or something
I have a feeling this caused a lot of kids to refuse to eat food with seeds if they saw this at a young age
It all started when Jimmy's mom made a watermelon
*Now Jimmy is dead*

He looks like hes 4 years old
@@notyoshikagekira7374 He had a short life 😢
his mom i guess cut a watermelon
He respawned, don't worry
You know the most horrible part is that the other kids ATE HIM
What makes this worse is that they will become watermelon as well, most likely leading to their destruction. We can also assume that the "man-melons" have some sort of mind altering affect that causes people to want to eat them, why else would you eat watermelon you know for a fact to have once been your friend? this means that more and more people will eat the melon, be destroyed, and be eaten. The growth of this melon plague will be exponential and will likely lead to the death of the human race, and possibly all multicellular animal life.

So technically, Jimmy ate a man melon before he turned into a melon?
:OO
He didn't die because he ate watermelon seed, he died because he didn't listen to his mom
if only jimmy listened to his mom he wouldn’t start a life cycle.
When he opens his mouth... I feel uncomfortable
Me too

i mean, what so scary ? is it really disturbing to watch ? honestly, i just feel normal, lol idk why, sorry.
Agreed I do too he has a watermelon mouth

Imagine if everyone was insane and they saw Jimmy become a watermelon when really he was a human and when he fell off the swings that was his injured corpse and the kids devoured actual flesh and bones.
