Gorillaz - Strobelite (Official Video) 

So you’re saying this is the same girl who sang about *”Shoe shine”* ?

Everyone talking bout the animation but I'm just sad Russ had basically no part in the video :(

I love the gorillaz bc they blur the lines between music genres and make music many different types of people would like.

Power of storytelling. It's not such an interesting video on its own compared to most of them, but as I've grown to know these characters through the years, I still smile all way through simply for seein 2D and Noodle having fun.

Everyone’s talking about how 2-D has become 90% legs, but have you guys seen how much his neck has grown-

Btw for anyone who didn't know, the guy that murdoc meets at the bar is not only his voice actor irl but also the devil in this universe, thus murdoc is literally making a deal with the devil...

The year is 2039, 2d is now 70% leg and 80% pant. Gorillaz has just released its new most experimental album, it’s called trousers it’s just the sound of 2d unzipping his comically long pants for 13 tracks.

I love how goofy the old 3D models of the characters are compared to the new ones. One of the best songs on humanz imo

random guy: *gets punched* noodle: aight dad time to vibe

Russell x Couch

2D might be 40 but he dances like he is 20 and and rocks out just as hard as noodle

I think Gorillaz is the only "band" that could make music in literally ANY GENRE and I, a metalhead, would love it all the same. Immense talent here, keep it up guys!

Can we just gather around and thank Gorillaz for existing

Producer: "How much autotune do you want?" Peven Everette: "no"

Can we just talk about how sweet 2-D's and Noodle's sibling like relationship is even from the very start? He's so kind to her.

I like seeing them just have fun. Every music video has some terrible thing happen

2-D's pants are higher than my grades

Why is Russel only being showed for like 2 seconds? #PrayforRussel

2-D: *dances* Murdoc: *wait, that’s illegal*

It would be so cool to make music for a living and be awesome at it.

Dude: **gets punched** Noodle: Cha Cha real smooth

Substitute teacher: *has a mental breakdown* The class:

Haven't seen Noodle dance like that since DARE

0:16 you can notice Murdoc's disappointment as his abuse toy goes to dance

Can we just appreciate how Russell was asleep the entire video

Side effects include: blindness, paralysis and death People in the ad:

*guy gets punched in the face* Noodle: THAT'S MY CUE

2d *engaging grandpa pants mode*

*japanese girl dances with her adopted brother/dad*

I love how they can both be doing the exact same dance and when noodle does it it looks super cool and when 2D does it I am reminded of my three year old sister dancing to a rock and roll version of the ABCs

this is the ''worst gorillaz video'' yet i absolutely love it. i loved it back when i first watched it when it was released, and i still love it now.... their dancing and the camera movements match the vibe of the song so well, the vibes are immaculate

anyone else realise that 2-D, Noodle and Murdoc are 3d animated, but Russel, just chilling and sleeping, is 2d animated?

I love Noodle and 2-D's relationship so much (like sister and brother relationship, I don't ship them)

Just noodle dancing with her mom

are we not gonna talk about how the guy murdoc was talking to was murdoc voice actor? 😭

Just what kind of peppermint tea do they sell in that club?

No one: The Oompa Loompas when a child is being brutally murdered:

Noodle and 2D dancing was so cute, I see it as a father daughter dance myself I don't ship them at all. Wtf is going on with Murdoc? Where was Russel? I miss him :(

i remember this coming out the day before my birthday when i was in a really abusive situation when i was 13. to finally have a day, let alone my birthday feel special at that time was a blessing and i will always hold it dear to me. Thank you gorillaz for everything you have given us ❤️

People with the flu: "I need to stay at home and recover" People with coronavirus at an airport:

how has noodle grown to an adult but 2D not growing anything but his legs?

i remember making fun of these models when this video came out, but honestly they look pretty good. also the lighting is damn impressive

Reading these comments makes me so depressed. People will find anything to complain about. Sure, I'm a Gorillaz fanboy so I'm going to be biased, but I still thought the video was pretty great regardless. For those complaining about it not being a two-dimensional cartoon music video, please keep in mind that we are getting an entire cartoon show with that art style in the future. As for the 3D models used in this video, I thought they were pretty damn good. I didn't have high expectations so I was surprised by how good it turned out to be. A very large improvement to that of Sleeping Powder and the live interviews. I mean hell, if I didn't know it was motion cap then I probably would of never guessed based on this video. Good work to everyone involved in the making of this video! Can't wait to see what's in store for us next! :)

Damn, can my boy Russ get some love??? Like he's not even 3-D animated....

Murdoc: *goes to le bar* legit murdocs voice actor: *gives card* Murdoc: *demonic smile* next thing you know he's in jail

i love strobelite, and peven everett, ive been probably listening to this song probably for 3 months now, never gets old. this is trurly gold love the murdoc jumpscares btw :3

I dont care, I love the 3d animation, its awkward little movements are too good to leave now

Me at 4 a.m: Take a piece of pizza for the last night The pizza in microwave: 1:52

*Passes out on keyboard* My Sims:

2-D and noodle: **chilling** Russel: **zzzzzzzzzz mode** Murdoc: 0:03: **angry child mode** 1:29 **selling his soul again**

my parents: *arguing about who drank all the alcohol* me and my sister in the 10th dimension:

Murdock is the original e-boy

They didn't even bother making a 3D model for Russel and that makes me sad

2D and noodle: *vibing* Russel: *napping* Murdoc: *shady shit*

remember the time when 2D was carrying noodle at the music video "rockit"?

we have: best girl haunted drummer photosynthesizing criminal p a n t s

So, you’re going to say that it’s the same girl, who danced in Dare?

The lyrics: Momentary pain Can be pleasure lain Will a second change? Magic lantern strange Are we just too far, to be as one again? Are we obsidian? Is this how it is? Girl, your life will turn Just like a strobe Because you're daddy's pain And your mother won't And your heart engages into heartless throes Are we obsidian? Is it how it goes? When you're drivin' night is dreamin' Livin' the strobe light And you will find the life you needed Livin' the strobe light Slide the light off you You may find some peace All will come to you If you come with me Are we just too far to be as one again? Are we obsidian? Is this how it ends? (Yeah!) When you're drivin' night is dreamin' Livin' the strobe light And you will find the life you needed Livin' the strobe light Oh yeah! When you're drivin' night is dreamin' Livin' the strobe light And you will find the life you needed Livin' the strobe light When you're drivin' night is dreamin' Livin' the strobe light And you will find the life you needed Livin' the strobe light And when you got it See it in your dreams You get hit by the strobe light You've got to find it, we all need it We get hit by the strobe light And when you got it See it in your dreams You get hit by the strobe light You've got to find it, we all need it We get hit by the strobe light

What's funny is Russel dose more in this video then I do on a daily basis

Seeing 2D smile as he danced brought me joy. I always feel the need to hug the poor guy

Not sure about the other members, but murdoc's animation is super realistic and fluid in this video, imo

I’ve been listening to Gorillaz for about 5 years now, and I’m not sick of them even 1%, everyone is, like,”When will you stop listening to Gorillaz?” And I’ll say, “Never.” Btw this is one of my favorite songs by them. Their music is ADDICTIVE. lol in a good way.

Theory: Ok. Murdoc is obviously up to something look at his creepy smile!! But the theory about him wanting to kill the others is dumb. He is a jerk, but he wouldn't kill his bandmates. He is definitely up to something, though, but idk what. I might know why though. Since phase one, 2D has basically been in an abusive friendship with murdoc and has never stood up for himself. Phase two was like this too, but in phase three, things got worse. First of all, noodle and russel were gone, so there was no one to stick up for 2D. Second of all, murdoc basically captured him and enslaved him at the bottom of the plastic beach. He also captured many collaborators to work on the album. Russel and noodle set out to stop him, and when they returned, 2D was given confidence. Keep in mind that the three of them have a close relationship. Russel and 2D are best friends and russel is very protective of noodle. Now, with a new found confidence, 2D sticks up for himself in phase four, making fun of murdoc in interviews and fighting back when murdoc insults him. In this video, he is dancing with noodle (DO NOT SHIP THEM) and murdoc is mad because 2D is paying more attention to noodle. Another reason why murdoc is mad could be that of all the members, he is the least useful on this album. Most of the songs on humanz are made with electronic synthesizers with drum machines, as well as 2D's vocals. So 2D sings, russel handles percussion which includes drum machines, and we know from the DARE video that noodle can play keyboards and synths. For once, murdoc is unable to show off because he doesn't do anything. That would also explain why he is mad. If you are reading this, then you took the time to read my entire theory. Thank you!! Consider liking it if you believe it.

2d in 3d animation Something about this doesnt make sense

2D has improved his dancing since sleeping powder!

2-D and Noodle’s sibling like relationship is really cool. They’re great friends and 2-D basically got to raise her and watch her grow into a fine young woman as her foster father. This music video showcases their sibling like relationship the strongest, as they rock out together on the dance floor.

Funny how nobody mentions Murdoc buying drugs at the counter, and then getting replaced by ace from the powerpuff girls for like A whole year.

This is just one of those bands that doesn't even need a genre to be good.

Does anyone else see this as “Japanese girl dances with her eyeless adapted dad”

I swear 2D and noodle are like siblings! I love how theyre just having the time of their lives while Russel is just sitting there and murdoc is doing who knows what 😂

This is my absolute favorite music video besides DARE, I love seeing them happy

I think 2D and Noodle were so cute in this. Not as a ship or anything. It just looked like an older brother dancing with his younger sister and I love it. I do wish Russel was in this more though.

"So what genre of music do the Gorillaz make, exactly?" "Uhhh..." *spins wheel*

One of those songs that you just can't get tired of.

this video gave me hope in the world. then i saw the comment section god has left us

Fun fact(?): 2-D taught Noodle some dance moves for the Dare video way back so this is twice as precious because they have like-- A dancing bond (I heard this from another fan and have been hoping it’s true. If anyone has a source or confirmation for this, that would be awesome)

I can just picture Noodle saying to 2d: "Mom, nobody will vibe with me!" "It's okay sweetie, I'll vibe with you"

Nobody: Oompa loompa’s when a kid dies: 2:10

when 2-D is happy, the universe smiles

Now here's the real question, do you like the music or is the dancing just amazing?

Man: **gets punched** Noodle: *Time to vibe*

Despite having seen this video so many times already, knowing the history of Gorillaz, I kept expecting to see something bad happen at this club. So glad the see 2D and Noodle just let loose and having a good time. Love it that they look so happy. They deserve the good times 🥰🥰🥰

They could sing the ABCs and my wig would be snatched.

All y'all talking about Russell sleeping and shipping 2D and Noodle while I'm trying to figure out what Murdoc is up to?!

Noodle: *starts dancing* Murdoc: I do not want to be related to you

No bc I wish I was noodle like bro she is gorgeous and has great dance moves and she has the coolest accent.

Guys, 2D is slowly getting eaten by his pants.

One thing I love about the gorillaz is that when they have a guest they give that guest the spotlight

How long until 2D is wearing nothing but pants, but they go up to his neck?

2D’s legs aren’t getting longer, he’s just wearing ridiculously high waisted trousers.

Daddy Long Legs putting those legs to use

You guys seem not to get it. 2D is wearing that pair of pants to make up for Noodle's lack of pants

Murdoc meeting up with his voice actor at the bar. And that's why I love Gorillaz.

I remember when this song came out, I replayed it sooo much it was the best thing I’ve heard in a while. God I love this song so much

I feel like Noodle has been the main focus lately, as if she is starting to take over. And I don't think Murdoc is very happy about it, because we all know that Murdoc likes being the one in control.

so we got russell sleeping 2d and noodle dancing and murdoc talking up a dude nice

Well 2-D certainly has improved his dancing since "Sleeping Powder"

2D & Noodle: Having fun like a total siblings Murdoc: Drinking while watching other having fun. Russel: Being like a dad.
