All the skeleton wants to do is show someone his bone collection, but every time he tries they just end up dying. He's tried to keep them alive with cheerful music but nothing works, and the more people he kills, the more impressive and interesting the collection becomes. It's a viscous cycle that both the victim and the skeleton are trapped in :(
Lucas Henson Well you know those car toys where you pull them back and let them go, they drive off in one direction? Well the skeleton's car is like that, he leaves Earth, winds the car back for 500 days, and when he finally releases it it shoots off so fast it tears a hole through time and space and he gets back to earth in 2 seconds. It's simple science my friend.
The man becomes aware of the fact that he will eventually die. The car ride represents his life up to death, filled with the fear of the inevitability of death. The skeleton knows this, and is sad that it can't be changed, but he has learned to accept it. The skeleton is the main character all along.
Okay, lets get this straight. Real straight. Skeleton man drives a person to kill them every 500 days. I actually counted about 450 victims from his skeleton ball in space. 450*500=225000 225000/366 (again, counting leap year)=614.7/615 2014-615=1399 The first prototype for a car engine was in the late 1800's. He has been driving people. In a car. More than 400 years before cars were invented. what the actual flying fuck.
Vespite Well, you drive for what feels like 500 days to get where you're going... Crappy music on radio... Slowly going crazy... That's kind of what I meant....
Life is like a ride in a car, and we're merely the passengers who only get to choose where we sit. As kids, we have the chance to do anything, be anything. But when life comes along and we grow older, our pool of options slowly begins to shrink. By the time we graduate from college or join a trade, all we have left to do is be taken for a ride. There's no option left. If the path you choose after college doesn't work out, or your trade doesn't work out, then it still doesn't matter; the ride gets worse. You have to keep going or else it will be for naught, and to give up would mean to give up years worth of effort.
This is my favorite of seinfeldspitstain's videos. it shows probably the most emotion in them, even without dialogue. the father/son story was beautiful, but I felt that this had more emotion. you can see the sadness in the skeleton's eyes when he lays his friend down on the planet. all he wanted was to take him for a ride. they would travel the stars. they would explore nebulae. but the skeleton is oblivious to the fact the humans must metabolize. he just wants a friend, but biology stands in his way. truly, one of the most touching stories on youtube. bravo, Bryan Smithee.
Alright, wait just a second, if it takes him almost two years to travel with a skeleton to his skeleton hoard and back to earth, with a skeleton hoard that impressive, he must have been abducting skeletons since the dawn of humanity.
Probably the melancholic guitar and piano at the end. His deed done, the skeleton sheds a tear- this could signify that he realizes the cycle he is in is a futile one, though he doesn't know anything else; he has no other purpose to fulfill. He returns to that Blue Marble floating through space- we don't exactly know _where_ on that marble, just that he goes back. Eventually he disappears from sight, lost to the void, a figure out of time. Not unlike seinfeldspitstain himself; this was one of the last videos he ever uploaded. The kicker is that he is never coming back. The piano in this video leaves off on a bit of a suspended note; the suspended nature and question of the skeleton, but also of seinfeldspitstain. But the really sad part? The two minutes of this video are the only story that will be ever told of the skeleton. Never anything more, forever; just as the small selection of videos from seinfeldspitstain are all that will ever remain to his name, never anything more, forever. But that's just me. Whatever the reason may be, the depression associated with this video may be subtly the result of there being no spoken dialogue in this video, only ambient sounds and music.
When you really think about it, this whole video was an analogy for death. The skeleton represents the grim reaper, and the man in bed represents us, and the journey from earth to the ball of skeletons ultimately represents our journey from life to death. This video also raises a lot of important questions about the process of death: Why was the grim reaper crying in the end? Why would our journey from life to death need to take so much time? I'm sure all of these question will be pondered upon for years to come. Thank you seinfeldspitstain, you've change my outlook on life and death
This is actually a beautifully done metaphor for the loneliness caused by the varying perceptions of vitality. Where others see respite, some see lethargy. Where some see exuberance, others see vulnerability. The skeleton with eyes and cosmic-travelling car represents man as they once were: primal, adventurous, daring and ready to take on the world. The bald man in blue personifies the man of today: safe and sound in their warm beds, isolated from the insecurity beyond their walls. The skeleton attempts to prompt remnants of the blue man's inner vigor, but alas, the concrete asylum of refuge has had too profound of an affect on his psyche, and has suppressed his mental garden, leaving the fruits of his tenacity withered and neglected. He dies, and the skeleton mourns the loss of his inability to accompany him aboard the excursion. In other words, he just wanted to take him for a ride.
Get out of the proto-fascist cottage core 'they took this from us' instragram cocoon you've built for yourself. A caveman would shit their loincloth if you took them on an airplane ride today.
Its been 9 years since the comment was posted,a lot of changed in his life hes probably got a wife children etc man if ypu see this i wish you luck bro everything will be fine
I find it very amusing how it takes the skeleton 500 days to reach his skeleton collection, but it takes him like 3-5 seconds to get back to earth. Interesting.
Desmund Ranger I don't think that's what he was trying to get to. He was just taking the guy out for a ride, and the massive ball of skeletons are just all the people he's taken for rides. He just goes there to dump the body once he's all used up.
ChadtheDJguy That isn't what I asked. I'm saying that I found it amusing that the skeleton took five hundred days to take a boy to a planet made of skeletons and it took him mere seconds to return for more victims. I didn't ask what he was doing.
This must be how it's like when you die, a skeleton comes to you and takes you for a ride, then leaves your corpse on a planet filled with more corpses, just a thought
I understand it's a joke but there's not really any "wars"- it seems the skeleton has been softly abducting humans for probably decades, if not centuries, without them even knowing
Omnywrench The skeleton is trying to find someone who can survive, which you can tell by the tear that came from the skeletons eye when he realized the boy didn't survive.
I was touched by this... It shows, that even those who you might fear because of how they look, act or talk, might as well have feelings just like you do. Shout out to the Maker!
My guess is this is showing that he's lonely but everytime he gives someone a ride they end up dying and that's where he puts them until he can find someone that won't die? idk XD
That was so deep. Maybe I'm just a dumbass who's reading into this too much but I saw some kind of metaphorical inner meaning in this. I guess some people saw this differently, but to me this looked like a long unrelenting road journey to death. Very clever, you have quite the creative merit, laughed a lot and felt a little emotionally violated towards the end. Well done.
The skeleton represents death, and the car ride is meant to represent dying. It forces him in because ultimately, we cannot avoid dying (or our bodies at least certainly) His body eventually decays and is turned into a skeleton. That planet of skeletons could be kind of like a metaphor, such as saying; "An Island of the Dead" or simile rather. This reminds me of a story, or what have you, by Orson Welles called The Hitch-Hiker. It's also so completely horrifying, because any way of it when you are dying and you know it; You are completely scared. It doesn't matter if your a psychopath or anything, you fear for that last minute of your life.
This is actually a statement on how the fighting game community alienates new players. Players try to get them into it but they "die" because they can't handle the overwhelming learning curve.
so are you the skeleton in this or the kid getting taken away by the skeleton then dying? because im the kid when it comes to learning marvel versus capcom
Brothers and Sisters, as it is written in Ecclesiastes: "But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 9:4-6) Brothers, it is established fact that all of us under the sun will die, as we are but people in a world of hebel, but what could make us be unable to enjoy the life that The LORD has given us? In every waking moment, thank The LORD for your life. For this is his mercy at work, every moment you are among hebel he shows mercy and does not eliminate you from existence. But in your life choose not hebel, rather choose to fear The LORD for that will bring you out of hebel and into light. Brother, have faith in Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, for with him is a life without hebel, as in; a life worth living, full of joy and the Kingdom of God. -Ezekiel
@@YaboiMuggy It tells of the vanity of his action. First, The collection is just too far away for anyone who would potentially see it. Second, the amount of skeletons coupled with the 500 day process would mean that the skeleton has taken a lot of time to do this that he could've used for something he'd be more happy to do. Third, Ecclesiastes is all about how vanity (Or 'hebel' which means vapor or vain) is everywhere and in every action that can ever be done by the hands of man, though it also emphasizes that man should fear God and enjoy what the life that which God has given him: "Go, eat bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do. Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking from your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that He has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going." (Ecclesiastes 9:7-10) -Ezekiel
