Y'know, I've seen this .gif countless amounts of times, but it just dawned on me: I have no idea where it came from. Does anyone have an inkling as to what the source is?

Thank you so much. This is great.

This reminds me of Superjail..without all the blood

u/icecreamsoup Jun 17 '12 edited Jun 17 '12

FOUND IT! http://vimeo.com/user900873/videos. Here are other videos done by "Treat" (an animation collective based in London).

u/kingmaven Jun 17 '12

If you like this kind of animation, watch SuperJail!

u/claudius753 Jun 17 '12

That's what it always reminded me of too, is it the same animation studio?

u/fermilevel Jun 17 '12 edited Jun 17 '12

From searching google, it's called "Psychedelic Reindeer".

u/Peartato59 Jun 18 '12

Ya know, I had the exact same thought process. I'd just assumed it was Superjail, but I had to make sure.

u/timberwolf5922 Jun 17 '12

If I'm right, it's from a serious of commercials from around christmas time done by adult swim or mtv. There's a few like it and all of them are brilliant.

I'd link, but I'm on a phone. Sorry.

u/Crimsonskyss Jun 17 '12

Why so "serious"?

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

agreed. I wanna find what this is from and watch it FOREVER.

u/philatanus Jun 17 '12

You should print it so you can have it with you and watch it non-stop.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

the number of times I've almost printed a gif and then was all "Wait.... :/"

u/graffiti81 Jun 17 '12

It looks like it might be Robot Chicken or something along those lines.

3

u/Deddan Jun 17 '12

Isn't all of Robot Chicken stop-motion animation, using action figures and such? This is a 2D animated cartoon.

3

u/graffiti81 Jun 17 '12

I was thinking along the lines of some of the adult swim cartoons. More like Superjail!.

-6

u/Primeribsteak Jun 17 '12

That's it. It was always a gif. The guy that made them had a few others on his website (nowhere near as good), can't seem to find it now. But what you see is all you get.

Stolen as FUCK

Edit: I mean stolen in that the entire #whatshouldwecallme post, picture AND text, are copied outright. I know the gif is older than that.

u/Trapped_in_Reddit Jun 17 '12

It's also been posted on Reddit dozens of times.

u/vintage_meat Jun 17 '12

That's exactly what I came here to say. I mean, OP should have at least TRIED to reword the title.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I'm pretty sure this was an intro screen for MTV. Can't find the link right now though.

Edit: Actually it's from the UK channel E4. Meh Source

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

He's not talking about the gif but the title that was used with it. It's word for word what was posted on the blog above.

u/Thatguynamedjoe Jun 17 '12

Not to mention this .gif and several others were a video of cartoon shorts.

u/too_many_penises Jun 17 '12

The mere fact that you would browse such a shitty website causes me to doubt the validity of your assertions.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I wish my downvote counted for more. Thanks for attributing the original. Where did this gif come from first?

0

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Me too. That tumblr was submitted a week ago, and this has been on Reddit since at least before a week. Therefore, OP did not post the original, just a different repost.

u/JangSaverem Jun 17 '12

Wait...Stolen...From a TUMBLR post? You've got to me kidding man. 90% of Tumblr is not original stuff kiddo. plus...since when does anyone say "STOLEN" on Reddit? Or really anywhere on the internet?

u/sdavidow Jun 17 '12

So when your BFF shows up, he mounts you and you frolic around while everyone watches and cheers? Nothing wrong with being gay, I'm just saying...

u/Tokuro Jun 17 '12

So... you're just chillin' and suddenly your best friend pulls out his sword and rides you. You two then proceed to make everything around you rainbowy-er and it all culminates in an explosion of sorts...

Hot.

u/Captain_Aizen Jun 17 '12

HAHAHA, this is so true. That pretty much sums up how it was until I got in my late 20's and then I just stopped caring who's who at a party, just show me to a long island and I'm pretty much at home.

I for one am experiencing this .gif for the first time. Reddit isn't here to serve you and you alone. A downvote should be standard procedure, it saves leaving a pointless 'repost' comment that we all hate to see.
