This is where your girlfriend lives"
I DIED
oh yeah yeah
Ziplomatic Yes 600 congrats
DeeDee Ratchford thank you, DEEDEE RATCHFORD.
the way how he explainds the uncanny valley its actually funny
you didnt die your body died
I’m happy for Alan. He goes from an inmate suffering from stage 4 lynks to having a successful career and eternal life. Such an inspirational story.
Wait that is the same guy from alantutorial
@@ca3433 it is indeed
This is what I think happened to Alan after the events of AlanTutorial. Got help, got education, and is now living the dream.
@@twindrill2852 not really, in unedited footage of a bear, you see him getting arrested so maybe his life didn't get fully together after he got out of jail...
@@jackr888 Oh that was Alan?! I thought it might be but I couldn't tell.

Our souls just left the bodies
@@SoulReaperSlayer19 Maybe it was the delivery and performance?! You seem pretty sensitive about it for a guy with SoulReaperSlayer as your name
Claudio Leitao And you seem like you really don’t understand what sarcasm is....😏
@@SoulReaperSlayer19 dude.. you cant legit say anything you look like a weak ass because it was the most unobvious sarcasm. don't lie and if you arent then you're horrible at sarcasm if it was meant to be obvious sarcasm, just enjoy the video and don't make stupid comments that are useless and outright no value in a comeback or anything you tried to do.. please?
Hey there tutorialheads, today I'm going to show a new tutorial on how to put dirt in her
no thanks buddy im in enough trouble with the wife as it is
I'm gonna do it anyway.
Step one: obtain dirt
Yugioh Man Games like the elephant glue, yeah it was because in that episode he had a paper hand cut out of the script for this show
Dellidandy ok
vsauce, but the guy's insane
So just v sauce
Do you want to play with my TOYS??
Or is he?!

"Its moved down into the uncanny valley with moving corpses and this is where your girlfriend lives"
this is the absolute point of this whole video... he hates his ex so much
In the background: *wife*
Yes, I have wiggle test! Whoever said I didn't have wiggle test was lying
"He didn't do the wiggle test"
All the axii are booleaned properly
As soon as he said, "My name is alan-" I was like ALAN! Last time I saw you, you were busting through drywall with dollar-man. Good times, glad to see you made it through okay.
It was an art project. Art has gone nowhere now..
He said it like Alan Tutorial as well!
IKR!
+Game Glitcher YT He is alantutorial
Dleigh13 // connordill
I know. Most people do, you should assume everyone on here knows this, no matter how opposing their comments are.
5:57 When he says "And this is where your *girlfriend* lives..." you can hear Teddy in the background say "wife"
Bwhahaha
"I'm going to come into your house. I'm going to come into your home and stay with you for two months."
a hot young tech wizard staying with me for two months? where do I sign up?
Holy shit, Alan sounds dead serious when he says "I'm going to come into your house" at 7:10. That, the following image of him looking through the window, and then the sudden close-up at 7:15 are eerie as hell. It makes me feel boxed-in. He's good at balancing comedy with horror.
Wait that’s a wild quote to pick now that all these years later he has one called “May I please enter” where he most definitely enters our homes
Do I do spinny, or bow-tie?
M Y W I F E H A S H A I R .
the worst part? when he introduces us to his wife, she actually has no hair. SAD
Teddy was probably prohibited from saying "angel hair" - because Alan's girlfriend is an angel now. Teddy looks really nervous after saying it too.
Hi Rivers. I really hate raditude! Why did you make it?
but she's bald
the struggle of just discovering Alan Resnick, watching all of his stuff, and realizing you want more Alan Resnick
and it takes fer everrrr
Jane Doe art can't be made on command it takes time to be done right

me, right now lol
And it's 2022 and YOU NEED MORE DEACON, O'BRIEN AND RESNICK
“I can’t believe I’m falling in love with a stone!”
That line gets me every time.
Black Mirror ripped off Alan's innovations
San junipero was a great episode
@@ertpecsertpecs I think they were talking about "be right back" the one about the boyfriend clone.
@@funnyname9679 still doesn't make it any less great of an episode lol
Sounds like you're new to the industry.
@@funnyname9679 "Be Right Back" originally aired in February 2013
I feel like this is what's going on in alantutorial's head as he makes his videos, and what he thinks we actually see on his channel
bwahahaha!!! I bet
ThyNameIsSkepticism not really. In one of the videos he's upset because somebody copied his video and changed it slightly. It shows that he knows his video looks like that.
im naked
Omp I'm here because you recommend there are people in this house, it's gone full circle
It's for sure about self awareness. Also, to me... his channel Alantutorial is about awareness of the exploitations that take place online and specifically on youtube. Especially to people living with challenges such as autism or young people creating content. Interesting to say the least when i found this. it just validates my thoughts on his performance art in a nutshell.
I think I got this.
So, he's making a video where he shares how he made technology to live forever by replicating himself.
However, Alan can't live beyond his wife. His wife stops him, and even though he was able to make another "Alan," even Teddy can't live beyond the image of his wife, and malfunctioning with the image of a pink amorphous sphere as his wife (a clear shot on how the physical can be altered, but the emotional will stay intact).
MEANING that Alan isn't living, and can't ever live because he can't move on. No matter how he tries to run from it, it will always haunt him, just like the elderly folk.
His mistakes breed in his head, which is why the graph is important.
Take his test subjects as an example of him: The little boy is dying, and copying himself doesn't stop him from dying. He has a disease that eats at him, and that disease is synonymous with Alan's self loathing psyche.
Notice that the Computer version of the old lady just kept repeating "I'm cold. I don't like being cold," insinuating death, loneliness, and in a way, her inner thoughts.
The old man not only made his wife, but made himself as well, to ensure that he was always there; something he probably never did until his wife croaked.
Alan can't love himself no matter what, and finds himself disappointing. His wife died and he never did anything to show her his love. He even raced around the idea of infidelity, which shamed him.
How could he ever amend his broken pride, heart and soul?
By starting over.
In short, If we can't move on, then how can we even fathom to live the next day, let alone forever?
"This is my wife. I love my wife." - Quote of the day.
On more of surface level, it's definitely also a joke on futurists and transhumanists. They often use their predictions to distract from their sad personal lives, and they think that technological progress will preserve their current identities forever (as they are now) when if anything it will do the exact opposite. All those digital copies of people, whether they have any self-awareness or not, are clearly not the original people. Even if digital consciousness becomes a reality one day, digital immortality is a false promise and always will be.
What’s the best pair of lips you have ever kissed?
I would say that he never had a wife to begin with, which is part of the facade he’s creating as a trans-humanist. He has programmed this ideal version of himself into his computer and has told him that he loves his wife. But after all the tests he went through to get his personality the way HE wanted (which isn’t necessarily the true Alan), the computer malfunctions as it realises there’s a missing piece, his wife.
That’s why the gelatinous blob is created by the AI. It has hit a crossroad in its programming, as it is designed to portray Alan as an incredibly caring husband yet sees no proof of his wife ever existing. Therefore, it brings up this mass of pink skin that remains completely unmolded, showing that the person that Alan really wants in his life is not there and never has been.
This is also represented by Alan calling his wife a ‘he’ close to start, illustrating the lie that he’s trying to perpetuate to not only the audience, but also himself
I appreciate the insight but I don’t think this is quite it. I can’t explain why but just how I feel. I great have no insight myself who knows it’s goddamn Alan probably has 15 sub plots.
you must be an english teacher
OH GOD I REALISED SOMETHING
“How does it feel to have your hand covered in glue?”
ALANTUTORIAL COVERED HIS HAND IN GLUE GOD
Realized* no offense
@@SackboyLBP not everywhere in the world spells it like that, moron 🙄
He also mentions how much water can you drink? (the mirror)
That episode also has a script of this video. Resnick-cursion.
IT'S BECAUSE ALAN RESNICK IS LITERALLY ALANTUTORIAL BUT CHANGED. THEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE, A COMMENT ON HIS LAST VIDEO ON ALANTUTORIAL STATED HIS REAL NAME (ALAN RESNICK) AND HOW HE WAS FEATURED IN THIS EXACT VIDEO
9:15 I haven't seen a single comment talking about how his wife died first and only then they made an avatar of her. How? Did they dig out the body?

yeah his clay sculptors are really good
Teddy lied. His wife doesn't have hair.
+TheLeadPool not on the outside
+Berry Erdat Ewwwwww
because she has cancer
I love the uncertain pause for laughter at 1:37 and the almost imperceptible look of disappointment as nobody laughs at his joke. Alan Resnick is a master of comic subtlety
“I’m going to come into your house. I’m going to come into your home and stay with you for two months. I’ll bring a cot and a humidifier, and I’m gonna find out what makes you *y o u* .”
please, no
"Every morning, you're gonna wake up with me on top of you, and I'll ask you hundreds of personal questions.
*H u n d r e d s of personal questions."*
*Cot and a humidifier?
FFKonoko possibly!
will this bring my wife back
My wife has hair
I love my wife!
She is. . . ｎｉｃｅ？
No, the broomshakalaka is for that
Hadolf itler shit you beat me to it lol
Sam come back
A more appropriate title for this video would be:
"Preserve a fraction of who you thought you were."
Harlequin619 "for as long as your USB continues to be readable."
"Teddy, thank you so much for helping me share this message tonight."
"You are welcome, Alan."
"You are my only son, and I built you in my image. I love you, Teddy."
*"I lOvE mY wIfE"*
The fact that someone throws fruit at him at 10:49 and he isn’t even close to catching it is so hilarious to me for some reason
Living forever as you are was supposed be for people who wanted to preserve their prime and independence but in reality it was used as a way to maintain old attachments and commitments.
The kid in particular is kind of sad because his mother bought the software to replace him at the time of his demise but it's already nothing like him.
Thanks for saying
+zeno considering 90% of the comments here are "lol tutorial xxddd" I think most people really need someone telling them some of the obvious intentions of this work
@@klaatuNaatu Yeah, they aren't mindless drones capable of critique, instead, they are mindless drones that make simple observations and never check to see if someone else said it.

I swear the head animation is just a rom hack of super mario 64.

It is digital art
loved this episode of Black Mirror
I get the feeling all the audio is re-recorded and dubbed in post. And it gives it the creepiest and most amazing feel. Like all you hear is his vocal audio and the score. There’s nothing else. Oh my god it’s amazing.
I had drawn that same conclusion, the audio is dubbed. At least Alan's is. It's a bit "uncanny valley," and I love it.
Discovering Alantutorial is a fictional persona of a comedian is just so relieving...
you really couldn't tell? I am just amazed at how gullible some people can be.
Well of course I questioned it's authenticity, but it's just good to know that what I'm watching isn't actually the chronicles of a man in need of serious help.
Don't be so condescending.
Sir_Lagzalot ^^ I'm not dumb! And my wife has.. some.. hair.. :'(
Jon Wow, really? You're either a bad troll or really in need of some help yourself because you're too stupid to function in the world if you thought any part of this might possibly be real.
***** y do yall gotta hate, like chill the fuck out lmao
I wish I had this guy's brain, he's an absolute fucking madman
I think Alan is worried he is going to stop loving his wife. His dream scared him of this so much that his subconscious immediately killed him. That's why it's so important that he lives forever as he is NOW, because he still loves his wife. During Step 4, his answers (to himself) profiled what he wanted to be preserved about him--his love for his wife--so that's all that Teddy talks about. But Alan acknowledges that Teddy is a different person. Has Alan already changed? The video explores a fear of changing. To preserve yourself, you need to sear your face into your mind. Then, you need to draw it, to see whether you've changed. Next, your face is captured as it is now and made into software modeled to look and move just like you (if we take the "tests" like the wiggle test as more than just a joke and understand them as really making something realistic, or maybe even hyperrealistic). You're preserving a single moment, not YOU. The testimonials explore the concept. A man can't let his wife go, so he recreates her, but he could only remember how she annoyed him. An elderly woman has already lost herself and can't even hold a conversation with herself. A mother wants to keep her son with her forever but in exchange gave up on having him NOW. I think the "uncanny valley" conversation is about that slow march of change. It's disturbing to change to a point where you can't see yourself as anything other than a moving corpse. Framing the infomercial as one preoccupied with death helps hammer home the fact that maybe all that we really are, in the end, is a slow procession of corpses moving uncannily through time, each body unable to recognize itself as the ones ahead and behind it. I mean, Alan got an internship at a morgue for this project. Why? What did a morgue have to do with digitizing himself and others? He could have learned about the six facial muscles from anywhere (like a doctor, or maybe a scultor). It's because he's terrified of changing. When you're dead, you don't change, but you're also not human. The avatars are designed to "take over for you" after you die. You essentially pick the person you want to place in the valley, and because of the clot that keeps you from seeing yourself as you are (and that clearly cannot be circumvented), you'll only ever be able to preserve a fragment that will never be you. The fear of changing turns you into a corpse, so you have to change, even if the ways you think you might change are scary or will make you feel guilty. And, on a higher level, technology helps us avoid our fears rather than talk about them. Well, just my thoughts. What an amazing short.
It's a shame more people haven't seen this comment. I haven't seen anyone else in the comments so far look at it this way and it makes a lot of sense, especially considering at the end Alan says it'll "make nothing else you ever do, ever matter"
@@sillypilled. Thank you! I honestly forgot I even posted that comment. I'm glad you got something out of it.
Omg man I could hardly follow you, if at all.. I found some things you say there a little disputable even though the topic as such shouldn’t be really even disputable..! But hello Earth.. going back to Alan.. he’s absolutely fantastic😅👌🤯 It’s all like a very abstract reality show but I may watch more, he’s purely magnetic..!
@sylwiaratajczyk8534 It's just my reading of the video, and it's my reading for years ago. I bet I could dispute some of what I said, too, but I think I still agree with the overall gist of it. But it's great when people disagree with readings, because that means there's a discussion to have.
"every morning you'll wake up with me on top of the you."
Well your wife's not gonna be happy be with it but okay
If that's the only objection, sounds like more than one person will be happy with it, so she's outvoted.
I love my wife she has hair.
this is what happened to alan after he broke free in tutorial
He became a successful businessman. I'm proud.
+Alkaios No... he's the simulation.
+CreeperFace204 what do you mean
He must've hit his head while escaping, he's acting really dumb. When he was doing tutorials he was really smart.
John Egg-Bert I know your comment is from 1 year ago, but he made a fictional character of his self.
Alan should really do a TED talk
BrainSeepsOut best idea ever
BrainSeepsOut Oh, I thought this was a Ted Talk.
@@Theonegamefreak is his name Ted in this?
Alan's voice makes me actively happy, I can't hear it without smiling
Gotta love the information given on the Schrader Clot.
- The Schrader Clot is made of cartilage
- Diagram shows clot in slightly different shade and with extra lines
- Bullet points illustrate specific concepts
- People who look at this graphic see a blue brain
- One human child is born every day
I feel like I learned so much about the Schrader Clot from that slide.
"What you're doing makes no sense and it breaks my heart" omg this is gold
hes adorable. hes simply adorable i want to hold him.

Hes Alantutorial UA-cam Channel
Meta just announced a real life version of "Live Forever As You Are Now," in the form of personal AI you can train to be a copy of you which will live in virtual reality so people can talk to a virtual copy of you any time they want. Even when you're gone. Everyone prepare to have your own personal Teddy!
my wife has hair.
She sounds nice and pretty. A total package.
The thing there though is that these AI models don't allow anything to be cynical and psychotic so its not really going to simulate my personality very well. It needs to be more like ghost in the shell where I can search to find a body to inhabit once I'm permanently in the net.
So after breaking out of the asylum, Alan tutorial went on to find love, get married and become very successful as a functioning human being. If thats not a success story i dont know what is.
He also survived lynks disease
But where is dollar boï

Child Of Rock Alan?
no, teddy
Starman finally someone that thinks that too 😅
Starman and smart
what is his origin tale?
I deeply love how the avatars talking together sounded like a conversation in Oblivion
I think he killed his wife. It starts with an argument with his wife and a dream which inspires him to make the avatar. It's programmed from his own personality and the avatar keeps saying that he loves his wife, is in fact obsessed with his wife, but when it recalls his wife it's just an amorphous blob. He programmed his love of his wife into the avatar, but didn't input her image likely because it's painful. She was probably going to leave him and he killed her.
Makes sense
I think this is weird as heck
He also said that his ex-wife lived with ‘moving corpses’. Probably a joke but there it is.
Yeah he killed her for cheating on him. He made the program of himself so he could live forever because he's lost his soul. The avatar is clearly in love with the with and obsessed with her. She's living with the moving corpses. He's so desperate for her he's putting her skin on rocks and inanimate objects. The mother of the black child is killing him check out the little details around him there's a couple clues. Pretty much everyone who is making an avatar murdered someone. The old lady who killed her husband with neglect who lost her mind for example. "this room is too cold"
You're reaching a bit.
LACK OF BLUE CHAIRS
ikr
Fnaf Girl1235 lol xD
Don’t need it. The set is blue.
10:25 I love the clear cut here from Alan being exaggerate positive and perfect -> to -> doing mistakes in talking, mimic and couldn't even catch the object.
I lost it when he was ominously standing outside the house, staring in the window
So he finally broke free from the asylum, gave up tutorials, and started this. Amazing tutorial on how to succeed at life.
"Every morning you're gonna wake up with me on top of you" Oh boy, please do
When Alan escaped his tutorials he decided to help other people escape
But where is dollar boï

I'm trying to make sense of this video but my Schrader's clot is stunting my cognitive ability
9 years later AI bros now want to do this exact thing.
I like this video because it demonstrates how trying to "live forever" through things we create like artwork or inventions isn't a good idea. Having a legacy can be a good thing but not at the expense of our present lives. This video is a reminder that no matter how much we devote to our work, to art or technology, real human life and relationships are sacred and irreplaceable.

-Alan Resnick, 2013
“He’s his own guy. It’s... whatever.”
"Whoever said I didn't have wiggle test was lying." I couldn't stop laughing. Lol
Can you make this into a tutorial?
Face operation tutorial
*shivers* please... no more tutorials.
Tutorials give you Lynks.
This is alantutorial's face oh god
the same what i was thinking. it's happening...
With AI becoming more and more a part of our life, this feels more applicable than ever.
This video has aged SHOCKINGLY well, I only recently found this but if you told me this was a recent video criticizing AI I would believe you, things like how the AI copies are so clearly imperfect but Alan keeps hyping it up as the ticket to immortality reminds me of those people who think that typing an image into a generator(which only works cause it already scanned existing art pieces) will not only be their golden ticket to success but also replace artists outright.
“What is it like to have your hand covered in wood glue?” Well I think you know Alan
I finally figured it out - Teddy's "wife" is a ball of skin because it reflects Alan's messed up obsession with skin
It's always surprising how many people either dislike these Adult Swims videos and/or don't understand why they are funny.
May Jesus guide their souls through the Bardos and to our God, yeshua.
Americansikkunt I feel like telling you to f*** off, but that will only encourage you to say more won't it?
Do you know what I'm talking about or are you mad cuz I didn't give your answer a srs reply?
I'm mad 'cause im constipated right now, i just happened to see your unrelated answer to Alica's question.
I agree, adult swim humor is the best.
Alan predicted this exact scam without realizing it.
Dude, I woke up in the middle of the night, and this was playing on the TV. I sat there in awe, and didnt believe it for a minute.
seeing him play this role just shows how funny he actually is in making his tutorial character
This is maybe the best thing I have seen on the internet. Alan Resnick is officially one of my favourite visual artists.
This is perhaps the top of the 1% of timeless works of art from one of humanity’s greatest achievements, in the history of reality, this is peak three dimensional entity information transmission
I miss seeing Mr. Resnick on Infomercials. I think it's about time for his glorious return. And if they can't get him, I'm sure Teddy is looking for work.
My favorite tutorial so far

i watched this at 4am and experienced pure dread, pure horror; erupted in cold sweat with a neuralgic headache, my eyes glued to the screen, unable to look away.
thanks, alan
This is my favorite episode of Black Mirror.
Alan divorced his wife, and not on friendly terms.
Like that elder, Alan had a companion wife devised for Ted, but given the trauma the real ex-wife had given him, he decided to delete her.
Ted did not like this and managed to bring her back from the Recycle Bin, but not without serious damage. But it's okay, his love for her is so true he calls her pretty even though she's now a wrinkled ball.
_P. S._: this is not even completely my theory, just a comment in here I never forgot and was buried over time.
I like this a lot more than the idiotic "OMG HE MUST HAVE KILLED HER" bs. That really doesn't seem Alan's style.
I love how he says "And it completely destroyed my face" so calmly ! LOL
Oh Alan, I´m so happy to see how far you have come since you picked up that blue chair.
This seems like it's talking about the difference between our true selves and our online persona. Alan obviously is some kind of relationship leech, but Teddy is totally dedicated to his wife. Similarly, every single digital clone is very different from the person it is supposed to represent. It's really telling when Teddy talks about imperfections. Maybe subconsciously we seek to preserve our memories through the internet, but by leaving out our imperfections, we fail in our goal.
I like it. It's not as nightmare inducing as This House Has People In it, but it conveys it's own subtle creepiness. It isn't going to keep me up at night, but it will make me think. I love Resnick's way of blending together several overarching themes, then presenting it behind an initially innocuous mask that eventually evolves into something totally sinister. He also has a novel approach in terms of adding the perfect "adult swim" brand of dry, surreal humor.
