    Grass: "So you finally did it, what did it cost?" Grassman: "everything"

    To those who don't know, Monty Oum was a mind-blowingly brilliant animator who inspired a lot of other animators. His fight choreography was like watching professional dancers breakdance get the plot of a story. He died suddenly at 33 because of an allergic reaction during a routine procedure, and it was a sucker punch to a lot of people. 7:38 I'm choking up again. I never knew you Monty, but your art was so beautiful.
  • I remember showing this to my film making teacher in high school when we started work on silent films. He now shows his class this every year.

    The "Well, that escalated quickly" meme was invented for videos such as these.

    This is the strangest fucking thing, man.

  • Astonishing how the most simple sentence can convey such a deep meaning. “Keep off the grass” is only four words, yet the implications are infinite. Absolutely a wonderful piece of art. Thank you.

  • i've never seen anything like this era of rocket jump, online or anywhere else. for a good few years freddie and his company made these wholly original, seemingly pretty high-budget sketches - completely unique ideas, everything. i have no idea how this was sustainable for rj for even this long, honestly - but i'm so glad we have these. they're weird, they're funny, they're super entertaining. whatever they're doing now, i hope the rj crew is doing good. they left their mark on internet history for sure :)

    The chemistry between the two characters is better that most multimillion dollar big budget movies today.

    The dedication to Monty made me tear up a bit!

    That was one of the most epic things ever made on YouTube. Except the end part, when it became one of the saddest. Rest in Peace, Monty.
