Never forget: In Phase 1 Murdoc spent THREE HOURS talking a kid out of suicide.
Raccoon Child omg really? That’s really cool actually! I feel like deep on the inside, underneath his hardened exterior, he really can be a sweetheart. He’s just afraid to show it.
He’s learned not to show it because of his upbringing. He thinks he can’t show that side because he sees it as “weak”. He’s learned to have that hardened exterior because he can’t show weakness or vulnerability because he’ll get hurt in the end like how he was hurt in his past. :( Murdoc is just a loser with a lot of emotional issues who acts all tough but really is just broken inside.
its 3 am and im crying over the fact that murdoc talks to himself a lot and truly loves his fans but pretends hes a hard bad boy and im. sobbing
“bluuuuue”
“uncle murdy”🥺
“i’m sure i’d love you if i saw you”
“there’s a love there”
“why are you talking into a pair of tights”
“i’m just talking to myself here. well i’m used to that”
“love you. k. love you. bye bye”
he
is
baby!!! omg🥺🥺🥺
Me: you know, you really have a 3 dimensional character at your disposal.
Gorillaz writers: Yo ain't 3D the singer?
The last
“Love you, okay, love you, bye bye...”
had me tearing up for some reason and idek why
Jillian Tavares - the people I think the Facebook live web chat he was hosting. He’s a complete bean in that web chat.
That's why I love Murdoc, and the other band members of Gorillaz. They sometimes feel more 'real' than real pop-artists do. With these characters they show a whole spectrum of emotions, characteristics, how they act, how they live. They feel like real, sincere people on moments like this.
i love that the circumstances of them being fictional allows them to have character! i think real life celebrities have to hide behind a persona to avoid being criticized or having a scandal.
They're real icons. Imperfect from the beginning, so nothing can exactly "expose" them. They don't have to be perfect, because they are inherently flawed, as people are.
I think, even though Murdoc can be abusive to 2d, their actually good friends. It's always been them two for the interviews. And I loved when they laugh with eachother.
Abusive relationships are usually built on good times. That's why it's so hard to leave.
In the Apex tapes interview, Russel says, "We all love each other, except Murdoc, who hates all of us equally, including himself." Murdoc confirms this, and in response, 2-D says "I love you, Murdoc!" and he just sounds so genuine and sweet when he says it it's hard to believe that this is the same 2-D who Murdoc abuses and insults on a regular basis.
I feel like he was the most abusive in phase 3 where everyone wasnt in their right mindset but before and after they're good friends
0:22 "uncle Murdie, thats nice thank you."
Me: OH
Yoo i love your profile pic! My crush that i do homestuck rp with uses the same one!
his voice actor is a friend of my dad’s (met him once when i was like 3) and he’s an absolute sweetheart.
That's amazing, I'm trying to be a voice actor myself I strive for things like this
"murdoc doesnt deserve to get out of jail"
me: *this video*
The entire Facebook interview (an hour long) where he compliments ErinPikichu and says that it’s nice to be called Uncle Murdy, as well as says “ok... I love you... bye 🖤” is literally the sweetest thing in the world and I love him for it. That’s all the evidence that *_I_* need to let him out, hbu?
Yeah I am so sad that he’s in his fifties and his face gotten skinnier but he’s still murdoc same personality still green same ass
can someone make a lo-fi remix of that last line? make me cry pls
Omg I’ve been planning on making more gorillaz edits but I suck at them and I wanted to use lines from murdoc’s chat
ua-cam.com/video/krzt5-Ig_Ng/v-deo.html that is what you asked for
I’M SCREAMING OVER HIS PURE LAUGH, SQUEALING AT HIS CONSTANT “I LOVE YOU’S”, AND UGLY LAUGHING WHEN HE SAID “I DREW THIS.”
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY IT JUST GETS ME EVERY TIME
his persistent “love you”s and his actual laugh i swear to god my acne is gone the sky is clear my crops are flourishing and everyone loves me and i love everyone
astro ikr. It's actually more meaningful when you think about it bc he's saying it to his fans, the only people in his life who've actually supported and truly loved him :( oof the feels
Honeymoon Hoe yeah it really kills how most of them don't even want him out of jail rn and they're just crying over 2D's rude ass like cmon Murdoc sold his soul for this shit I can't even
@@InactiveAcc208 OHMYGOD EXACTLY!!! AND MURDOC'S THE ONE WHO WROTE MELANCHOLY HILL SO HE'S THE GUY WHO WROTE THE SONG THAT SANG Y'ALL TO SLEEP
THE ENDING “Love you...Bye-bye.” IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY WTF
Fandom_Fangirl 100 yeah sometimes I don't know why I'm still in the fandom (since they haven't really started any new phases) and then I see this I'm reminded why I'm here
...Whell why did you join the fandom I'm just curious because I didn't know about Gorillaz until like 2 or 3 weeks ago
The way he said blue so enthusiastically like a little child is so adorable honestly awww
Murdoc: I'm moving on with 2D
2D: *Nods*
Then Plastic beach happens
i hope Murdoc becomes more like this when he comes out of prison.
@Vance Abadeer I KNOW it's so ridiculous. I don't think they actually killed him off but it's a weird thing to think about. You would never think that Murdoc fuckin' Niccals would die, yk?
Re-watching this all i think of is the part where 2D said:
"I gave him a kinder egg"
Murdoc: *WHEEZE*
Ugh I keep coming back to this. His goodbye at the end of the Facebook stream kills me now. I hope he gets back to us soon, and in one piece. As much as I love Ace, he's just not Murdoc, and i can't overlook that.
Murdoc's last "I love you"
ooH MY GOD I'M CRYING IN THE CLUB RN
I dont know if i should say "dont cry, craft" or "dont panic at the disco" even though im not in those fandoms at all but yEAH
Chili birb As a P!atD fan I appreciate this very much (also this is the OP, my phone just went to hell and now I'm on my mom's phone so I have to use her account RIP)
Protect our nasty green man. He never did no 'arm. (Ok yes, maybe he did o o p s)
i can’t be the only one that screamed whenever his voice went soft
2:23
There are times where I'm lonely and sad.
Times when my Parents argue with one another until they're blue in the face, if not yelling at each other, yelling at Me or my Brother.
Times where I miss Friends who've gone away and times where I miss the ones that haven't. Even times I think about my Great Grandmother and my Aunt in Heavan. Or the two classmates and lifelong Friends I lost in a car crash this year and the times I still cry in the night thinking of them.
When those times arise, when I can't do anything right, when I work my job until I'm dirt tired or when the world and everyone in it seems to hate me...sometimes I turn on my phone and listen to Murdoc quietly say *"Love you... ok, Love you... bye bye..."* just to hear nothing but pure love in his voice for Fans of Gorillaz like Me and everyone else on this channel. I feel loved and somehow... I keep going.
This comment is probably one of the most touching I’ve ever received. Gorillaz helped me a lot with my life and problems as well, using the fandom as a coping mechanism got me through a whole lot and it made me feel so much better to connect with other people who feel the same way. I want to remind you, even if I don’t know you personally, that you can get through this and you are loved 💕 Depression and life’s obstacles can feel like they can never be overcome but time heals and things get better. I’m here if you ever want to talk or get anything out :)
@@polyphonicprayer Oh my God I didn't expect you to read this 😭😭😭 Thank you ❤
Even though I don't know you personally either, I love you too. ❤❤❤ You have an amazing channel.
Gorillaz has always been one of my favorite bands, they dropped their 19-2000 album the year I was born and my older Brother and I have loved their music growing up. They hold a lot of memories for Me... 🙂
@@funtimebunny7856 This was super heartbreaking. I hope ur doing well! Hope things are working out for you. If ur going through something right now, remember out of billions of people in the world, I'm positive millions are rooting for you and I am one of those millions! I had a rough childhood too, but as murdoc would say "get on with it do you bird" days will get better. Might not be now might not be next week but I guarantee it will get better. 😁.
When him and 2-D started laughing it almost brought me to tears 😭
Edit: 💜Omg thank you guys so much for all the likes💜
Also 2:23 sounds like its coming from a voicemail, it’s so peaceful. I love it
@Jada Cat it was a livestream he was saying that to the audience cause he wanted to take a break and have some captain Morgan rum
He’s a pickled gremlin but he’s our pickled gremlin who has his golden moments.
In all honesty I do think he’s growing as a character, slowly but surely.
noodle said “get the cool shoeshine”.........I think this is the cool shoeshine
EMPIRE ANTS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND AND HIM SHOWING GENUINE EMOTIONS MAKES IT SEEM LIKE THE END OF GORILLAZ AND I WAS FINNA CRY THIS WAS TOO EMOTIONAL
SkSKSKSK Murdoc's real laugh cures my depression, clears my acne, and waters my crops.
Also this entire video cures my depression.
"Love you...
Okay
Love you...
Bye bye :)"
He has blessed the skies with turquoise, freed the suffering, ended world hunger, and cured depression and anxiety in that one comment
Galactic Pal I fucking nearly cry every time I hear it it's so precious kssksk I'm supposed to hate this nasty old man (this is OP btw, I'm just using my mom's account until I get a new phone because I'm too lazy to switch out of her account)
I now suddenly forgive everything Murdoc’s done
Murdoc laughing is my aesthetic
Doctor:you got 2:29 minutes of life
me: I put this video*
Me: I died happy*
Doyathing: *smashes 2d whit a shoe*
This vid : AAAA i'M MELTING
"I LIKE BLUE!"
Is that why he immediately thought 2D was beautiful after the second car accident?
I quote: "And when he stood up, wow! What an image. Tall, pretty, blue spiky hair..."
What really makes me hurt is the crippling truth that murdoc's voice actor is the sweetheart... the actual character is supposed to be mean and unforgiving for the most part with few soft spots ;-; but I love him anyway. He is my 52 year old son.
It’s true but it really adds layers to Murdoc’s already complex character. It’s like we see all these different sides of him and it makes me C R Y this mans deserves the world 😭
I'm pretty sure the pirate radio broadcasts show he cares deep down.
Nah, it's not that black-and-white... you sound like you missed 3/4 of the canon. I guess you just made this comment without thinking about it too deeply though.
Thank you! Someone sees it for what it is lol It does make me very happy to hear him like this but yeah.. It's not really real I guess. Even though nothing about Murdoc is actually even real what am I saying XD
murdoc's real laugh actually melted my heart
Thank you Eren Pikachu
I'm sure I love you,
GOD WHAT A HUNEYY
I like blue and I like green mix it together and you get an abusive relationship
I didn't even think about it until I read your comment.....thank you
I love how emotional this is. 😁😍😭
When he said "Mom used to do that"--
*FuckingTears*
This is actually making me cry cause so many nast comments on Gorillaz official posts is saying he should die, when he's just a fucked up guy who deep down is a sweetheart.
I miss him so much. I want him to be free so he can be happy and wild again and laugh with his best buddy 2-D.
And please shut the hell up about the abuse thing. He didn't do it in phase 4 which shows he got better and they were starting to have a more healthy friendship. People grow and people change, so why act like he didn't?
I miss him.
Aw omg this comment means a lot to me thank you 😭 and I AGREE, Murdoc’s fixing himself he’s changing and growing. He’s a feminist now, he now respects women, he feels regretful for his negligent behavior in the past, he’s not drinking as often, he’s being nicer to 2d and he’s making things up for noodle and Russel. He might be an ass but he still loves the band mates bc they’re the closest he’s ever had to a real family. He loves his band and he loves his fans. Yes he’s still causing trouble but he’s trying to be better and I absolutely love him for that.
He's still gonna beat 2D with in an inch of his life when he gets out of prison
Everyone has a soft sweet side
"2-D, look. I'm Ed Mitchell from Apollo 14"
"N-no youre not"
"Yes i am"
"Thank you... For calling me uncle Murdy... Nobody's ever called me that before..."
Murdoc actually being a total sweetheart. Did you mean, the *entire Murdoc webchat on Facebook video???* Murdoc was so sweet in the webchat, that it would give you cavities!!! ^-^
Nonnez IKR I WOULD PUT THE WHOLE THING IN IF I COULD but I think I got all the best bits
That uncle murdy voice was absolutely heart warming
'I love you, bye bye' HE'S SUCH A PRECIOUS PICKLE CHILD
“I’m just talking to myself here... I’m used to that”
Okay um can we please talk about that? Is maybe the reason Murdoc tends to act narcisstic quite a bit is because he’s lonely? D:
He’s a sad, lonely, old man who’s learned from his horrible upbringing to hide his emotions and insecurities behind a (somewhat) fake, over the top, asshole persona. I mean, he really is an ass but he plays it up a lot. Yet, it’s so interesting to see the real, sweet, but kind of fragile side of Murdoc in these interviews. Free my mans :(
"Love you, okay? Love you, bye bye."
WHEN I TELL YOU I LET OUT THE BIGGEST SQUEAL
This character has been around for more than ten years and his nicest or cutest moments are less than three minutes, to be fair I was expecting just a few seconds
God, his laugh is so infectious.
“Murdoc, what’s your favorite color? *_Blue!_* I like blue!“
_That moment was so fucking sweet I legit burst into tears_
Seeing 2D and Murdoc laughing together makes me happy Murdoc isnt a bad person he's just a idiot most of the time and sometimes pretty much crazy but i still care for this old pickle and Ace being his replacement im not bothered neither is Murdoc
0:05 "murdoc what's your favourite colour" "BLEEUUEEUUUuuueeeee. i like bLUUuee. i like blue n i like green eeughnuhh mixittogetheryegetturquoise"
"Love you! Ok, love you! Bye bye..."
Me: *Falls down stairs*
MURDOC IS THE ONLY MAN THAT HAS MADE ME HAPPY EVERYTIME I SEE HIM
This changes how I feel about murdoc
THE FUTURE *rocks in toy boat*
0:17
Murdoc: 👁👅👁 *ThE fYooChaH*
The haters of #FREEMURDOC that says "Murdoc is better in jail" "Ace should stay in the band, he is better than Murdoc" should see this video.
yeah he can be a good person and really nice but he can also be a real big jerk
hello I'm exactly the person you're talking about
there are aspects that I adore about him, but the bad way overrules the good for me.
This could have been called "2 minutes and 29 seconds of pure gold"
Murdoc's soft voice makes me feel safe.
why everyone is like "dOn't #freemurdoc hE's gonNa hUrT 2d" ?. In humanz Murdoc was looking very changed, more chill, he and 2D looked like something like friends.
Idk, ignore me.
To be fair, 2D did call him a Annoying Dinosaur so he may be annoyed by that.
It's quite confusing if you ask me. In the Now Now 2D says he didn't miss Murdoc and can finally emotionally grow without him being in the way! But when you look at the music for the Album It's almost like he misses Murdoc.
FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS ME D: in this fandom is either "i DoN't WaNt HiM T0 HuRt 2D UwU MuRDoC iS EviiL" or "LeT My BaBy G00". Geez, people are exhausting.
I love Murdoc, he’s definitely on the more complex side as a character but that’s what makes him more human(Z), I think he’s really just troubled and after Plastic Beach it seemed as though he was trying to put himself back together and before he went to prison he seemed really chill and not as angry and mean as usual
this is probably the best video i've seen in like the past year
thank you
my depression is cured
1:18 holy crap those puppets are terrifying! Kinda cute but terrifying!!!!
When people ask me why I think Murdoc is best boi I'm gonna show them this video
*_Murdoc's genuine laugh has added 10 years to my lifespan_*
BLESS THIS VIDEO
idk if it was because it was 3am but the “I love you” at the end sent me to tears bro
"Love you okay, love you. Bye bye." I am literally on the verge of tears because today nearly caused me to have a mental breakdown. I've always found comfort within fictional characters and that right there just honestly... Thank you.
Wow this is the cutest this ever
i kinda have a soft spot for murdoc tbh and it kind of sucks that he's literally eating through a straw in a shithole prison right now. like yikes. at first i wanted him to die in there but i feel pretty bad for the old man.
Honeymoon Hoe for all the abuse and turmoil he put 2D and the rest of the band through i was really resentful towards him but not as much now
The abused becomes the abuser :/ but he’s changing himself! Slowly. But still!
Dude same. Murdoc found a very fitting place in my heart after watching this vid ;
Honeymoon Hoe he's never said he doesn't care about 2D or his band despite all his chaos ridden upon them. I really think ppl should stop crying over 2D if Russ and Noodle don't even "save" him from Murdoc even tho it's proven Russ can smash his nose in. 2D's not helpless and I like their dynamic. The relationship is complicated and I've stated before that I don't see Murdoc being exceptionally abusive, even verbally, this phase. Maybe he's a bit insane but. He doesn't seem malicious, at least. He doesn't thrive from his band's suffering. I don't even think he internally enjoys harassing 2D, honestly. It's more like he's taking his own bottled up emotions and misery negatively on others. It's unhealthy and inconsiderate, yes, but not cruel. Murdoc is chaotic, not evil. Long live pickle.
0:18
is bulletproof
the aftermath is secondary
its time to do it now and do it loud
*Killjoys! MAKE SOME NOISE!*
Murdoc What’s your favorite color-
BLUEEEEEEEE
DONT TOUCH ME I'M SOFT I LOVE HIM
Man I don’t understand how people jump to conclusions and hate murdoc. when he’s actually such a sweetheart and just he makes me
c r y
💞💖💗
His laugh at 0:39 makes me so happy
Murdoc Niccals will always be my favorite Gorillaz member. "Ehh uh uh uh that's nice that's nice." - Murdoc and 2-D at the Apollo shows 😎😎😎😎😎
"Love you bye bye "
* currently crying on the floor *
*FREE MY BABY MURDOC*
Blue and green
Mix em together and you get turquoise
Omg this is insane...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 50k VIEWS!!! #freemurdoc
👋🏻
Thank you so much!! I’m working on more vids! ❤️
Morgan Westlund hello
