[QUOTE=Duck M.;51165461]This is the fucking best dude Its been so long man... Having characters grow up with you like this is just mindblowing, its like seeing an old friend for the first time in years[/QUOTE] having grown up around the time Clint Eastwood was being played 24/7 it kind of wigs me out that Noodle's hot now

Man I just love the animation style on the gorillaz, always have. Hype

noodles kinda cute

[QUOTE=Clovis;51165950]This is pretty god damn cringey imo[/QUOTE] Does this word even have any meaning anymore at this point

[QUOTE=Clovis;51165970]its a bit more universal than saying a video made me feel disgruntled[/QUOTE] It's also vague as hell.

[QUOTE=Clovis;51165997]It implies that the video was awkward to watch. That's not very vague[/QUOTE] What about it was awkward?? That's what I was getting at. Sorry, thought that was obvious.

I thought that was a really fun watch. Doesn't hurt noodle is a qt.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;51166004]What about it was awkward?? That's what I was getting at. Sorry, thought that was obvious.[/QUOTE] probably the whole cartoon character in real world awkwardness dont get me wrong i loved it but i guess if you dont know much about gorillaz and some of their videos, its kinda weird to watch

Why does noodle look like masami hisamoto now.

Damn I feel old. not gonna lie I had a bit of a crush for Demon Days Noodle. I was like 11 so eh.

Book of Russell has begun [Media]https://twitter.com/gorillaz/status/784416852961169408?s=09[/media]

[QUOTE=Clovis;51165950]This is pretty god damn cringey imo[/QUOTE] Wtf does this even mean?

So happy everyone seems to be getting their own "book." It always felt like Russell was in the shadow of the other characters.

[QUOTE=Clovis;51165950]This is pretty god damn cringey imo[/QUOTE] how

What language was she speaking? I always thought noodle was meant to be Japanese but it sounded to my ears like an unintelligible mix of Dutch and Korean.

[QUOTE=Clovis;51166273]If you can't see the awkwardness in 1:20-1:30, then I don't know what to tell you. In fact I think you're seeing past it just like everyone else who is watching this video in the thread. It's called context. You guys only approve of this because you like a cartoon character involved in it. Do any of you really care about Jaguar or Jaguar Racing? No, in fact if it weren't for movies, tv and video games, you wouldn't even think about Jaguar as a company before you thought of the Animal. It is purely about the context. Do you think Formula 1 fans who saw the last part of this video would have a positive reaction to that? Probably not. You can even sense the awkwardness in the persons featured in that part of the video. Need more context of how cringey this is? Because I know what you guys are like when it comes to Noodle, it's very difficult to ever assume fair praise for anything involving it. It's a pretty okay assumption to make that you guys are only interested in the video because it has Noodle in it. And knowing people are watching and are so alienated, almost borderline fucking brainwashed into ~enjoying~ something they normally wouldn't give a shit about, sort of makes me sick. If it was anyone else in this car being depicted driving, none of you would give a single flying fuck. Do you guys really care about Jaguar Racing? Probably not. And I'm not summoning you to prove to me about your interest in Formula 1, because you wouldn't defend the 90% or so Gorillaz fans that didnt care about Jaguar Racing. I can make this bold assumption because: Gorillaz fans are (mostly) all milennials Formula 1/racing fans are (mostly) their parents; who wouldn't care about Gorillaz cause they developed This also plays into the "cringe" factor when wondering why the fuck they made the decision to feature a cartoon character that barely anybody knows the name of, (if it wasnt for overzealous fans pointing out Noodle all the time, I wouldn't know who it is, let alone the fact she is even Female), from a band that seems to continuously decline in popularity since its peak roughly over a decade ago. (I've likely missed a point but after accidentally erasing my entire reply I had to re-write it from scratch)[/QUOTE] This is pretty god damn cringey imo

Sure I love Gorillaz but it's just an ad for a partnership thing they hit up with Jaguar? WHat is cringy about that again?

[QUOTE=Whomobile;51166073]'Cause she grew up dude. [/QUOTE] ...grown up or not, any possible association with SGI, even if accidental, isn't a good thing. Below you will learn more on the arcane art of thread derailment.

This kind of thing happens all the time my merge fuck

[QUOTE=Clovis;51166273]all of this nonsense[/QUOTE] jesus christ you're taking this way too seriously lmao

[QUOTE=Clovis;51166287]I don't see whats so cringey about answering a question that I was asked[/QUOTE] Because you're taking something completely inoffensive way too seriously? You're basing your argument off of weird assumptions about millenials? You're taking offense to the idea that people that like a band are happy to see characters from that band in something? You're acting like people are faking some love of Jaguar and F1 because Noodle was in it, when NOBODY was doing that? You're just acting very strange about this whole thing for reasons I just plain don't get. It's cringey.

I can make this bold assumption because: Gorillaz fans are (mostly) all milennials, and well it's pretty well known that milennials like us don't really give a shit about formula 1 unless we have a family thats also into it, or we're gambling on it or something. we are in the 21st century and there are tonnes of other forms of entertainment we have to occupy ourselves Formula 1/racing fans are (mostly) their parents; who wouldn't care about Gorillaz cause they developed tastes before the Gorillaz were even a thing. They probably dont even know of the Gorillaz apart from hearing their songs on the radio or tv ages ago. This also plays into the "cringe" factor when wondering why the fuck they made the decision to feature a cartoon character that barely anybody knows the name of, (if it wasnt for overzealous fans pointing out Noodle all the time, I wouldn't know who it is, let alone the fact she is even Female), from a band that seems to continuously decline in popularity since its peak roughly over a decade ago. This clash in demographics just has my mind boggled as to who came up with the idea to go ahead with it. (I've likely missed a point but after accidentally erasing my entire reply I had to re-write it from scratch)[/QUOTE] "brainwashed" "makes me sick" Dude, calm down. You're being an asshole. Nobody's here claiming "wow i love Jaguar™ Racing™ now" - we're just excited to see the characters again.

[QUOTE=Clovis;51166344]I was literally asked what I was getting at, therefore I explained it[/QUOTE] your explanation is nonsense its just a fun little ad campaign and crossover that has people excited because its been over 5 years since we got a gorillaz animation, you're overthinking it

[QUOTE=Clovis;51166273]a reply that unironically has 2767 characters over nothing "alienated, almost borderline fucking brainwashed into ~enjoying~ something they normally wouldn't give a shit about, sort of makes me sick. "[/QUOTE] someone disagrees with me, better shit out a 2767 character reply painfully detailing what I think about them I thought it was a bit awkward too but Jesus stop. You're being a giant douche bag.

[QUOTE=Clovis;51166356]I was arguing my point. I'm taking my own view, idea, and the fact someone asked about it "too" seriously[/QUOTE] When a harmless cross-promotional ad makes you "sick", makes you rant about brainwashing, and you start making weird-ass assumptions about people, it's [I]kinda [/I]fuckin' weird dude. [editline]7th October 2016[/editline] Thinking it was awkward, or the subject matter is a weird match is one thing, what you said is something else.
