When Cartoons Depict Classical Music Better Than Real Life Movies 

2:05 “tom’s head is like 360 degrees.” *And that’s why they met at math tutoring*

Alternate title: Saturday morning cartoons with TwoSet

Beethoven: Are You Ready To Rock?! Audience: Yeaaah! Beethoven: I Can't Hear You

Fun fact I'm sure you're aware of; These cartoons aren't called "Loony Toons." They're called "Loony TUNES." This was because it was essentially the Warner company's way of displaying the music they owned the rights to. These were genuinely made with a ton of love, specifically to highlight the music, which is why it's so good :D

Fun fact: That tom and jerry and bugs bunny episode was made on the same year, both has the pianist being annoyed by a mouse. After both cartoon being shown on the oscar that year (1947) mgm and wb sue each other for plagiarism. The case is unsettled, the similarity could be pure coincidence. But my man tom and jerry won the oscar for that episode.

Ling Ling in Pre-k Teacher: Okay everyone let's sing the alphabet! Class: a b c d e f g Ling Ling: c d e f g a b c

Tom and Jerry and Mickey mouse shows got me into classical music when I was a kid ❤️🐭🐈

that kid: *yeets the clarinet on the floor* me: *attacked in clarinetist*

Music used in the cartoons: 00:23 Liszt - Hungarian Rapsody no. 2 02:03 Strauss - Die Fledermaus Overture 04:05 Beethoven - Symphony no. 9 4th mvt. 06:25 Mozart - Clarinet Concerto 1st mvt. (kind of..) 08:25 Schubert - Symphony no. 8 1st mvt. (more or less..) 09:32 Beethoven - Symphony no. 5 1st mvt.

The most realistic part? When conductor Tom is rolling off, the orchestra keeps playing without a hitch. They all just followed the concert master...

Squidward even composed his own symphony.

I don't know if people remember but the classical tom & jerry was full of classical music, and in the early episodes there was no talking and every action was expressed by music and the soundtrack. Tom & Jerry was full of well-known pieces and it was so well done and accurate.

0:34 he really just tried using vibrato on a piano

Tom and Jerry uses their music extraordinarily well. It's AMAZING. This kind of dedication is born, not created.

What about the other joke in that last Simpsons clip? As everyone leaves Marge tells the crowd not to leave because the next piece is a medley by Philip Glass then everyone runs out of the concert hall, including the musicians.

10:02 As someone who's not a classical musician but has listended to the fifth symphony countless times ... This hurts. Any other twosetter who's not a classical musician?

Twoset (in their late 20s): we’re old Me, and others in their 40s: Are we a joke to you?

The Simpsons were God tier when it came to roasting the arts. That's what you get when your writers are STEM graduates and engineers.

I remember Little Einstein's, such an educational show about classical music

the clarinet squeaking is the most accurate representation of clarinet playing i've seen in cartoons 😂

You guys should really react to the scene from the danish movie "The Olsen gang sees red (Olsen banden ser rødt) where they break into the royal theater while the Ouverture to Elverhøj by Kuhlau plays. It's probably the cleverest use of a classical performance ever put to film.

In an interview, Lang Lang said he watched the Tom&Jerry’s piano scene (Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Liszt) as a kid and that inspired him to work hard in order to play as well as Tom😋

- Music stinks! - He hasn't watched Twoset yet. I mean... Brett has a point.

Tom and Jerry : *have some random orchestra scene* Eddy : This is the OG... Brett : Why they don't have pants???

The guy in Arthur: Squeaks horribly Me: Cries in Clarinetist. I feel that pain. Then he throws it Me: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

9:50 When the clap was on beat . Music to the ear. 👌👌 Props to Editor San !!!

I understood the pain when Binky squeaked on the clarinet. But I legit wanted to punch him when he threw it. DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THEY ARE!?

Fun fact: the term is "Mickey Mousing" when the accompanying music syncs perfectly with the actions on screen! If it's done in anything except cartoons it's usually seen as gimmicky -- but then Baby Driver came out which was so cool.

Forgive me Ling Ling for I am about to not practice in exchange of witnessing two Ling Ling wannabes react to my childhood.

I think the funniest about this reaction at 9:48 is that Debussy himself was actually like that ! He listened only the introduction of Beethoven's Symphonies then left right after because "development is just filling" So... Non respect completely accurate in this case... And in concerts please don't be a Debussy 😂

Tom and Jerry actually won because they actually played the correct keys on Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 by Liszt Bugs bunny just did random keys which me, a pianist, is making me triggered

Everybody gangsta Until bugs bunny hits a low note on the right side of the piano

Ling Ling is actually the person who is playing all of these pieces, but struggling to play them wrong just for your entertainment.

5:46 FLAT BRIDGE SOCIETY

Here's the piece of music by the way, 0:24 F. Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 1:58 J. Strauss II Die Fledermaus Overture (The Bat) 4:07-7:20 L. van Beethoven Symphony No. 9 4th movement (Ode to Joy) 6:30 W.A Mozart Clarinet Concerto 1st movement 8:27 F. Schubert Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished) 1st movement 9:34 L. van Beethoven Symphony No. 5 1st movement

When I was in jr high (before you two were even born!) my choir teacher would use those notes from Beethoven's 5th played on the piano as a notice for the class to quiet down and pay attention. One day, while prepping for a concert, we had a pianist (usually our teacher would play). The teacher played those notes on the piano and walked away, so the pianist (knowing it was a signal) continued to play the rest of the movement much to the amusement of the class and the teacher.

4:10 1: Nonexistent clarinet fingerings 2: Excessive squeaking, probably due to bad embouchure or a broken instrument 3: Keys are missing

5:12 So TwoSet wants them to record the sound of an actual clarinet being thrown on the ground?

Brett: I don't know what you kids are watching these days Me: Anime! Eddy: Tiktok Me: ...

10:04 some poeple even go "yeah I know that one. I really like Mozart"

Me, pianist, seeing Jerry mastering a piece that I'm desperately trying to learn: Ah shit, here we go again.

At least the cartoons are way more accurate than the movies 😂

1:25 Honestly the struggle is real... when your finger nails are too long and they sometimes get stuck for a moment between the keys, especially when playing fast pieces.....😂

1:04 it was actually a scandal between MGM and Warner Brothers studios--with MGM suspected of plagiarizing it.

Y'know, I've seen a Tom and Jerry episode where Tom was playing the piano, and he actually played the right keys for the piece! I was definitely impressed. 8:32 My school's orchestra was *WAY* worse. They tried playing an orchestral version of "Uptown Funk."

You left out the best part in the last one: "Don't leave now, the next piece is an atonal medley by Philipp Glass!" *entire audience and the orchestra runs out screaming*

0:37 that awkward moment when you think about how they had to get a person to eat making that sound affect 😂

"Your as bad a Beethoven near the end" Me: sooo Triggered Beethoven was amazing period.

"dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun~" Audience: That's enough. So true.

5:07 When binky threw the clarinet as a clarinet player my heart just stopped dead. That clarinet is gone. Binky why u gotta be like this respect to ur instrument pls :((((

Hey guys clarinetist here! Gonna give some fun facts and corrections on the clarinet part if anyone is interested. 1. The clarinet is one of the most challenging and rewarding instruments out there, and many refer to it (with the flute) as a violin of a wind orchestra (or band if you're in middle school). 2. The clarinet is in fact a instrument made out of wood, and sometimes plastic although wood sounds better, and if dropped which has a lot, will sound like hollow stick (kinda). 3. Squeaks are very challenging to a beginner, but it is actually quite hard to make one playing in lower octaves, and the octave that the clarinetist was playing should not give any squeaks (unless his reed is damaged) 4. The metal ligature (the silvery thingy that holds the reed in the mouthpiece) isn't convenient, since leather ones are ore practical and are less expensive 5. The clarinet is not "anatomically" correct. The fingerings on the clarinet and the holes are also incorrect since he plays with all fingers down on the upper row and 2/3 up to down, which is incorrect, but some higher octave fingerings require that but you don't push down all the holes 6. there is no button to make the A, Ab, and G# notes as there are some in the upper part of the clarinet, above the upper row of holes (search up a clarinet and you will find it ;) ) 7. his fingerings and technique are not the best and not recommended. 8. the audio constantly plays different notes when the fingers are not moving 9. the clarinet usually becomes easier when you get the right technique, so don't give up kiddos! Fun Facts: The clarinet has a very big range of notes The clarinet is usually portrayed as a woman's instrument, though it is seen that more boys are starting to play it now (such as my brother) In my opinion its beautiful, but regardless of which instrument you play, don't give up!

Thanks for making my quarantine less intense haha a bit of laughter is what I needed and you guys were just the right dose. My tummy hurts bad though its too much xD

After the video i went to listen to the full beethoven's 5 th symphony, its really really nice, and it was the first time i ve listened to the 2nd 3rd and 4th movement, they were really good, i wonder why i had never listened to them before ( sorry for my poor english, im french)

"cause it's actually good content... y'know.. unlike some uh.... tv shows..." "so you're saying wrong note is jazz?" *goddamn Brett and Eddy back at it again on their **#twosetroast*

In the animal show ahem that clarinet fingering is very sacrelegious as I'm a Clarinetist and I also play the Bass Clarinet and that fingering that binky was doing is all fake.

1:13… Brett : Why would he do that! Kids are watching this Also Brett : We are watching this

Tfw when your clarinet squeaks in rehearsal and everyone turns and stares at you

We’ve gotten over the mic stealing the show, but now we’re on to the tilted camera...XD

"Music stinks" TwoSet: so you have chosen... death

3:07 "The music and the visual storytelling come together" That was the whole point of these older shorts. Merrie Melodies (and later Loony Tunes) started as a way for Warner Bros to advertise their wide library of licensed music. Audiences would watch an entertaining cartoon before a feature film, and hopefully go and buy the recording, or sheet music.

You guys should review the sacrilegious violin playing in 'a series of unfortunate events'

Brett looks like he genuinely enjoy today's episode. So precious 😩💗

When you said “sports” it was like you both remembered a rarely used piece of technical jargon simultaneously lol

“Don’t bring your strad to school” So i brought my guarneri

0:56 Bugs did it in 1946, Tom did it in 1947. Just in case you were wondering.

7:36 can we just say how Brett sounded very like the cartoon

The lighting is really good

Make a video about La Corda D'oro too please! This anime introduced me to the world of classical music and i've never been more happy because I fell in love with the violin 😊 thank you!

5:20 sadly I can confirm from experience, that's not how a clarinet sounds if you drop it....

twoset is uploading so frequently that it’s scaring me....

You guys went so hard at the end lmao

I got into classical music through my elementary school teacher. Kindergarten through grade four she taught us all about different musicians and had a bunch of instruments that everyone would get to play. I learned so much from her, she's why I got into piano

Tbh yall my history is full of watching their past videos. P.S I'm a new fan 😊

2:10 Jerry holding Gergiev's toothpick.

9:52 the part were it sounds like it jumping and intertwining is my favorite

The clarinet being thrown to the ground, as a clarinet player, it hurt.

This is another way of saying "2-D > 3-D" Just TwoSet's version of it.

I am making my debut with the Mozart Clarinet Concerto in May. Hopefully I'll do better than Binky. RIP EDIT: Thank you so much for the support everybody! I've never gotten this many likes before lol Edit 2: Guys the concert was cancelled. I'm just now getting back to this comment but the concert was cancelled due to the virus😢

Can we appreciate how much more difficult and expensive it was to time animation with music? No luxury of keyframes moving a bit more forward or backward.

The Tom and Jerry cartoon brings me back memories to last year’s performance of Die Fledermaus, which was my very first opera performance (trumpet player in the pit orchestra).

“I guess another way to ask this question is who is the first violin and who is the second.” “The first violin and second violin sometimes switch.” hummmmm...

I'm a Clarinet player, I really took the time to look at Binky with his Clarinet. I was about to cry when I saw how he played and handled his instrument.

5:02 *him playing random notes that dont make sounds* me: *STARTINGS TO EARRAPE AND SCREAM INTO MY CLARINET*

omg PLEASE do this for og barbie movies. like 12 dancing princess, rapunzel, swan lake, etc bc i can't tell u how many times i've played pieces in symphony and gotten flashbacks to my childhood

Two set: let’s upgrade our setup Everyone liked that Two set: let’s downgrade our setup Everyone: *confused screaming*

5:07 love their reactions when an instrument falls on ground even it is just a cartoon scenario where zero instrument receives actual damage :D also 6:16 a fake strad being plucked XD

Being more accurate in cartoons than on real life representation is easier cause you don’t need to teach bugs bunny to play the violin

Yay another motivation to practice.

Wow Saturday morning cartoons with Twoset 😄 it's like we had a sleepover (Edit: in the US at least)

10:12 We kids are watching TwoSet these days

Tom and Jerry: In a huge concert Me: Where is The Cat Concerto?

Ooh yes I love this series!

9:50, wow editor-san good job on the clap sync to the music!

10:21 oh my god, dads you’re embarrassing me! 😳🙄

I know this Video is 2 yrs ago. From 7:44 (Beethoven) He CAN hear himself humming and talking but he CAN'T hear THEM or anything musical that is very low unless he's close, very loud or on the object. Like when he was younger. He put his head on the foot pedal to hear/feel the notes and melodies. For example: Me. I'm 100% deaf and I study music. Anything I put into my ear, it vibrates like a tuning fork ( I can feel the tunes. Mainly Bass and somewhat melody in the range I can feel. Higher pitch = I cannot feel that). As Beethoven put his head on the foot pedal while someone playing, same thing but on his temple that vibrates directly to his ear. When he hums, his throat (Same way) vibrates to his ear. Anything that is near the ear that is on or in, you can feel notes tuning in.

Please make more of these kind of videos👍💓

TwoSet agrees with the notion that 2-D is superior to 3-D

...why is the camera slightly tilted? This is going to bother me for the whole video

“Wrong notes is Jazz” *me, a Saxophonist:* Don’t you be hating on us Jazzy people because we can actually chill out for once. (This is not meant to be hate. Just a joke) Wait, I know the rest of the *DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNNN* One. Can’t remember what it’s called but I remember it at least

okay but lets appreciate how two set actually has subtitles in almost every single video bc sometimes i can't understand their aussie so blesss
