Oxygen Not Included [Animated Short] - Anything for a Laugh 

My guy literally shot himself into the vacuum of space for a laugh. Now THAT's dedication to the craft.

Honestly, these are the only game trailers that directly make me interested in a game. I’m now thinking of picking this game up. Great work as always!

Never thought I'll be ever scared of someone trying to make others laugh by hitting themselves

Hilarious and yet sort of disturbing at the same time!

I love Klei and Oxygen Not Included so much that you can't even imagine. This game is a masterpiece)

Well then, from a lore perspective: Some duplicant personalities have certain triggers that seem to cause them to go... well, *i n s a n e* . And apparently in the dark twist of it all, if one of these duplicants happen to get destroyed or disposed of because of a mental disfunction, they simply print a new one. While the video is fun to watch, the lore implication is definitely a little messed up. 😅

2:20 I love how you can hear his footsteps getting faster after he goes off screen to show that he started running away, and his voice becomes more high pitched and drawn out to show he started screaming. The attention to detail is great

now I understand what Ari's profile means. "Aris tend to space out from time to time, but they always pay attention when it counts." this means IT happens again and again.

Learn from this short: Some jokes are better when it's on accident than when you do it on purpose

I love how Klei is making these beautifully animated ONI shorts just for the hell of it, at this point. Would love to see the appearance of other dupes like Nisbet, Max, Nikola, Bubbles, Etc.

At the start, that is 100% a dupe in your average colony Hey guys, look at me hurt or get myself into danger. *LAUGH* -please-

Apart from the fact that Ari may or may not have some issues, these characters only speak electronic noises and have more character depth than most Hollywood movie characters nowadays

Finally another oxygen not included short, super excited!

I love how this and the last ONI short ended the same way, of a duplicant being sent to space through a air lock

The expressions in this one were hilarious! These animations are always the best, Klei!

I don't even play O2 not included (I play DST), but I still watch the shorts purely for the animation. I love it, and I have a friend named Ari who is honestly exactly like the Ari in this animation. Makes my soul happy that there are still some devs not just in it for the profit out there :)

The shift from humor to horror was sublime and the animation was delightful as always. I'm looking forward to seeing what the team does in the future!

No Loot Boxes. No NFTs. No PTW. Just fantastic content from a fun company. Every penny I have spent on Klei has been extremely well spent.

3...2...1...blast off! The brand-new Oxygen Not Included DLC is launched and available now on 🚀 Steam: klei.gg/SpacedOutSteam & 👨‍🚀 Epic Games: klei.gg/SpacedOutEpic The Duplicants are back, and this time they’re ready to rocket into space to rebuild their colonies on a whole host of strange new planetoids! To celebrate the new DLC release we have a new animated short to share. Enjoy! When Ari stumbles upon the intoxicating rush of comedic stardom, they're hooked. But making others laugh isn’t as easy as it seems. Their desperate attempts at entertainment take them-and their helpless fellow Dupes-to some unexpectedly dark places. 🛰More info about the new SPACED OUT expansion here: klei.gg/SpacedOutLaunch

5 Cycles at Ari's The new horror game I didn't know I needed. Even if you guys didn't make games I would support you just for these amazing shorts!

Oxygen not included’s art style reminds me of a high budget tv show, it’s so unique and the animation is perfect. Klei you guys are amazing

I find this so interesting to watch. It has a classic horror plot with a moral aspect and it highlights it really well with all the comedic subversions of horror tropes. V gold

Oh yeah, we want it, and we want more! Psl Klei, make something like this with Don't Starve too)

bro give him a garland

Ari has always been my fav dupe! I literally screamed when I saw this was starring them! :D

just what I lacked mechanics of insanity in oxygent included

I love their voices...

Man I love these shorts! :) "Ari was not the imposter"

Why are these so satisfying to watch?

Leave it to klei to pack so much character into characters that dont talk also its funny how they dont even attempt to save Ari when they get sucked into space lol Its not like they are dead why dont you go build a ladder at the very least?

The whole time watching this I was getting heavy "Ren & Stimpy" vibes, and I loved every second of it. Nostalgia always wins.

Its times like these that reminds me that duplicants will quite literally DROWN if you don't tell them to just not be in the water.

3:25 love that little special animation you did for the portal! Keep up the good work!

new trait: masochism increases walking and working soeed if they were hit in the last 1/4th of a cycle

This perfectly shows the average amount of stupidity duplicants have in ONI, and yet i still love em. Good job, Klei! Can't wait to seem more ONI shorts like this!

Honestly this is better than some cartoons with the animations. You guys deserve some props

Love those! Dear klei, that should be a series! Literally a gold mine imho!

This is now my most favorite short. I just love how expressive the little dupes are

And just when I thought they stopped making these awesome animations, they came out with a horror masterpiece 😂

Love these so much, charming as always

You guys are quick with these great animations amazing

Literally my favorite gaming company, always gives amazing animations and amazing games. I love how much they interact with people too

I like how the start its like those cartoons

I love that you guys give each of the dupes personality in these.

Ari: Appears. My Heart: It's to much.

Yoooooo, more oni shorts. Much epicness.

Absolutely hilarious! Reminds me of the many times my dupes would try to commit suicide by walling themselves off somewhere inhospitable or somehow get themselves entombed in a random piece of terrain. It's not a bug; it's a feature. ;)

Oh my stars. Klei - you stay at the top for me. I do my best to support you all financially (yes buying your games and dlc and telling others to do the same, lol) so that you can continue to make these wonderful animated shorts. As an avid fan of your work(s) I am truly astounded by the creativity. I mean.. this one.. THIS video just had SO MUCH to unpack and I laughed of course. You folks are great. I wish you all a wonderful winter season (if that applies to you) and a fulfilling start to this new year :)

Always a pleasure to watch these ONI shorts! Especially when Ari is involved, that dupe is a barrel of laughs!

How much until they add these airlocks I wanna eject my dupes into the endless void

1:45 I turned myself into a mush bar. I'm mush bar Ariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely adore these animated shorts, just so much personality without speaking a single word If yall made a full movie/show of this i'd happily support it on patreon or something

Mini-story time. I started to play this game during Oil-Automation Upgrade (like, I just bought the game and Automation patch was released, it was somewhere in November 2017 I think?), and in my first successful (the one that lived more than 100 cycles, RIP to other two before that) colony there were one Ari. And this Ari was goshdarn MVP of the playthrough. They were the best builder, digger, researcher AND farmer. Need something to build ASAP? Ari will do it in no time. This other dupe is about to suffocate cause they trapped themselves? Don't worry! Ari on their way already! Others don't think fast enough to research the thing that'll probably save the colony? Good thing Ari have such high learning skill! (I think it was their original job btw, but don't really remember). This one Ari saved other dupes so much times that me and my friend (to whom I streamed the whole thing) started to call them The Boss. The Boss then became a colony-saver in all next playthroughs as well, and to this very day each time Ari don't spawn within first 9 cycles, it's usually Really Bad Omen™. So seeing this animatic, where Ari just trying their best to cheer everyone up but ends up being forgotten in space, is heartbreaking to me. Thank you, Klei, for making such a wonderful game and no less wonderful animatics.

PLEASE MAKE A LIL SERIES, ALL OF THESE ARE SO GOOD

I recommend you keep making these animations, it's a great desire to play

Honestly sometimes this animation is so true. Every now and again i have a dupe that just wants to find any way to hurt/kill itself.

I love these shorts. x3 Kinda wish there was a whole show, though I know that'd be hard to pull off. xD

I love this game so much you guys have no idea how much joy and frustration you brought into my life.

I love that I recognized the schedule changed sound effect that I knew exactly what why they ran off. Love this stuff so much guys, thank you. Its like a present for the holidays.

This is a 10/10 short and I’ve barely ever played the game. I think I might give it another shot!

Can we have a dupe cartoon? I would watch a 30 minute show of this every week

I'd love to see animations exploring their relationships according to the lore. Like how Bubbles absolutely despises Banhi. That'd be fun.

2:06 We do a little trolling 🤏

The game is lovely, but the shorts are amazing! I could watch this every day.

Still my fave game. Thanks for that guys and merry x mas ☃️🌲

They just waltz away like they didnt just witness a suicide

Oxygen Not Included short!! Ari, no!! oh. I immensely enjoy these shorts! They're so cute and fun! Thank you so much for these!

2:34 the way, she just sort of fades out of the darkness always gets me

Feels like Klei has been putting out more animations than usual lately, guess they wanted to give us a holiday feast!

This is a good representation of how you cant force laughter, it only comes naturally

Beyond amazing work, as always!

Aw, poor derp just wanted some appreciation. Well, wanted it THIS bad. Anyhoot, thank you so much for wonderful Christmas gift to the community!

I would watch an hour of those outro shots it's like watching fully functioning colony through security cameras.

Never before have I felt so concerned about a fictional character's physical and mental health

we need a full 24 episode series. we must have more dupes.

My characters in literally every colony sim be like:

"Did Ari just die?" "Meh, I'll fire up the printer"

lmao love these animated shorts. Hope to see more added for all the duplicants

Why does this make me want a ONI-DST crossover where the Duplicant becomes a survivor and Wilson becomes a Dupe

REALLY freaking cute. Great job everyone who worked on this!!!

Awesome! Keep updating the shorts please!^^

I always love these shorts. They are so fun to watch 😅

yesss i love these animations i love seeing more of them!

I loved the scream, it's like wAaAaAaA

He quickly became a masochist.

Wow, I've waited ages for Ari's animation since you started producing these shorts.

i love how these animations follow one simple concept relating to the game and make it really cute, nice work klei and the animators

These animations breath life into the dupes. That some refined moral material!

Well this is the most adorable thing ever...

Recently got back into playing ONI and I forgot how much I love these animated shorts, adds so much character and story to the game 💖💖

Even though I haven't played these games yet, I can surely say these are So interesting to watch as just regular animated videos with certain rules I don't understand yet.

Suddenly, I'll think twice about printing my Ari options 🤣 Keep it up Klei, entertaining as always ❤

Marvelous. Klein Entertainmen you put a huge effort on this videos. The result is sublime.

Dude this was amazing! I love the art style and everything, gives me huge nostalgic vibes of IZ! ♥ ^-^ I am thinking of getting the game cause of this animation. :3 Great work to the animators, very inspiring. ♥ Also the sounds and reactions are freaking adorable.

I Love the animations of Klei, always awesome!! i love Oxygen not included!!

the animation... this is so beautifull!

Klei making top animations as always

a minute and 30 seconds in, just, that face, that fuckin face made me laugh so hard.

i may be a bit late to the ONI train, but i could do a 20 minute analysis of Ari on just these 3 minutes.

casually adds sanity to oni
