Song by Neil cicierega, Mouth Dreams - Ribs: • Video
(btw it's not actually 4k I just rendered it as such for the improved bitrate)
This one took a while to make. Half being just working away at it, the other being my procrastination and aversion to long projects. Think I'll be a little less ambitious next time. Can you decipher the plot to this fever dream of an animation? Good luck!

A modern SFM masterpiece
Cheater
Same as it ever was
Looks like we got competition
Wow! This is coming from the person who made G-Man - Once In a Lifetime.
Shit posts and masterpiece have become intertwined in recent years.
God is it beautiful.
Only SFM could represent the pure insanity of Neil Cicierega's mixes
I never thought about it until now, but it makes so much sense...
so true
What about @ThatGreyCartoonPony or @Eltorro64 ?
Good I still miss the wndrwll sfm
@@wingedfish1175 I mean, it still exists, just not the original video and it's in 360p. Just search it up and it should appear
Ellis in a Cowboy Hat singing that one part of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" feels like the natural evolution to Big Enough
It's what he was born to do
I am really glad to find the name of the song again.
You mean the part where he goes "Heeeeee" right?
@@Archibaldh1pp0
Yep.
also Nick with the hunter's hoodie as Marilyn Manson is pretty good. not as good as Ellis though.
0:42 seeing two Coaches harmonizing with eachother over babyback ribs warms my heart in a way I cannot explain
Glad its not just me
Same
I feel like I'm getting brainwashed lmao
The music blends together so weirdly well.
The simple human joy of food, combined with the simple pleasure of singing. Both creating something for consumption; A meal and a song. The world, for a moment, was right! And you sensed it. Good on you, my pal.
That's Coach's brother, Chef. His whole family's names are just their professions.
Somehow just finally found this today. Amazing work. 💓
This is what your brain looks like when you're trying to remember a song that shares a similar rhythm to other songs so when you start trying to use the lyrics to remember the initial song you end up mixing up the lyrics from the other similar songs.
my head is just a dj table sometimes, so I get it
That's just what the music of Neil Cicierega is like.
It's everybody wants to rule the world, tears for fears
@@SignalRaptor_ I got Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Baby Back Ribs, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Beautiful People, and Dream On but I'm sure I missed a few more songs mixed in there.
@@neolunaticus For real, how dare he describe Neil Ciceriega's entire discography like that? Excluding some original masterpieces like "Two Trucks Having Sex"
How the fuck did it take me a month to find this masterpiece?
That's what I'm thinking. How has this not blown up!
This was my exact thought watching this pooping this morning. Also congrats again on the recent milestone
bruh same
the algorithm works in mysterious ways
I know right?
...rinsing machine
That was actually barbecue sauce dripping down his chin.
for real the idea is that he's not even a zombie he was just coming back to eat his ribs and saw coach stole them so he chases him down to get them back to share.
@@googleygareth yelling Manson lyrics is symbolic of his disappointment at not getting to eat baby back ribs
Capitalism has made it this way, indeed. What profound commentary on
upper text
S O C I E T Y
bottom text
That's how I interpreted it anyway
That's exactly what I thought it was supposed to be interpreted as because it's the first part of him we see.
Legend has it, Marilyn Manson had a few ribs removed so he could smell his own knees.
Fun fact: If you look at the order of the songs from the Mouth Dreams album (which this's from), this song is directly between "Get Happy" and "My Mouth". In other words, the only thing keeping my mouth from getting happy is ribs.
@@zachariahmerry2396
Ah, so that's why Manson got his ribs removed.
i can smell my own knees without doing that
I just know realized it was a Mason song...and ribs. Now i get this video.
I don't even need any ribs removed to be able to do that
It’s almost criminal how well these songs mesh
there are quite a few songs that shouldnt but do, im glad this is one of those pairings
TAKE IT AWAY
@@DanPDGyt pairings?
There's like 8 songs stuffed in here and NONE of them should mesh as well as they do lol
*four
Literally any song ever made by Neil
The inspiring tale of one man learning to share his rack of delicious Christmas ribs with the local grocery store clerk. This is going to be a certified holiday classic!
Despite it clearly being a shitpost, it has the ideal story structure.
There's exposition, the introduction of a conflict, rising action, the climax, and finally the falling action.
I meant .5x
@@Pillboxing something being a shitpost is not related to its quality
@@itsjdjen That's literally the origin of the term.
Exposition: Coach trying to enjoy his ribs. Rising action: The introduction of the hunter, who's motives are currently unknown. The hunter is chasing coach, causing us to believe he is the antagonist. Climax: Coach taking a leap of faith off the cliff, and being saved by his amazing ribs. Falling action: Coach, in a last ditch effort at bargaining, gives the ribs to the hunter, resolving the conflict.
@@ajaxtaur And? The origin of "goodbye" is "god be with you", but I hear plenty of non-religious people saying it. Words change, quickly too in this online era where people are communicating more than ever before. The word shitpost, to me, indicates the type of humor more than the quality.
This is peak SFM. Literally nothing can surpass this.
ruclips.net/video/sK5bFV6tNQQ/видео.html
I dunno man, that one SFM about the pizza is pretty damn amazing. ruclips.net/video/ARX3TQBdfng/видео.html
Edit: I just realized, the irony that the only thing to rival Ribs is Pizza. It's almost poetic.
@@wolfenstein652 Pootis enguage still got me fuked up
If ribs doesn't isekai you into a diner singing a mashup of a restaurant and diner as well as other songs off a fever dream. Then those ribs weren't good enough and demand a refund.
pootis engage. or the second pootis engage
Something that I loved about this vid is that when Coach runs to the saferoom, he does it like a football player and Nick runs like a felon running away from the cops.
It was a neat detail.
Running animations that highlight their past, God I don’t know why valve didn’t think about this
2:22 Unironically the best part of the SFM. Everything blends together so well, and the animation completely captures that essence. Ellis’s singing in the background in the icing on the cake.
Nah, the best part is 1:34 when they run in the most ridiculous way possible but also perfectly to the beat
Incredible. Never thought I'd see another perfect Neil Cicierega SFM, but here we are. Wow.
What was the other one?
is this Andrew the Lark? Good ol' monkey Cup Lark?
@@DaglessMc pretty sure.
also I wonder if you're thinking of the deleted wndrwll one or another?
GIVE US THE OTHER, FATHER
He’s talking about the two trucks video with scout I think. He showed it on stream.
The facial expressions and body language are the best I've ever seen in an SFM, holy shit
Yeah they did a very good job on the body language. It really works with the vocals.
The lip sync is perfect.
A deranged memefest shitpost, that has better facial expressions and lipsyncing than a lot of professional theater-release movies.
@@CheshireCad Yeah I was just playing the Last Of Us DLC where they retconned Ellie to make her gay (personally the DLC is where the story died to me) and the animations in that DLC, although very good, have NOTHING on what's going on in this music video.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 - Don't try to shoehorn me into your whining that gay people exist. Go be mad somewhere else.
I'm going to be thinking about the animation on the "can't smell your own KNEES" sequence for days...there's just something perfect about it.
YESSS
It's like a Joker meme
imagine not being able to smell your own knees, the distraught look and frustration on that poor guys face was heartbreaking.
Yeah the way that the maddest I’ve ever seen Nick (or hunter i guess) ever get in any SFM or official animation is him lamenting that he can’t smell his own knees gets me every time
Honestly if I couldn't smell my own knees, I'd be frustrated too.
compared to the extreme joy that Coach had with his baby back ribs was very comedic
Coach's face is possibly the most expressive of all Valve's models. It's freakin' perfect.
“You can’t see the forest from the trees, and you can’t smell your own KNEES”
Hot damn that line is perfect.
Even more perfect since the songs chosen are a reference to the rumor of Marylin Manson removing his ribs to perform ... *the succ* on himself. Doing so would also allow one to smell their own knees easily.

Perfection.
The fact google translate thinks this comment directly translates to “A” is pretty funny
@@hunderslash came here to comment 'A'
I've lost track of how many times I've watched this. You really managed to capture what makes SFM such a wonderful, diverse, funny and even beautiful medium for art.
Well done, thank you for sharing this with us...
As of right now, it's possible that you've seen this 367,000 times.
Are you happy with your life choices? Hahaha!
@@insanejughead No, because I could make that 367,001.
Me as well brother video is just that good
Because sincere effort is what made this shitpost into true art, I felt sincere warmth at Coach sharing with Nick at the end. Nick seemed frustrated and angry at his lack of sensory enjoyment (one might say he couldn't even smell his own knees), and Coach readily handed over some delicious food when Nick indicated he was just confused and hungry ("hey, you, what do you see?" read to me like Nick genuinely didn't know why Coach was enjoying the plate of ribs so much). The broomstick in the boat even feels like a red herring for Coach to fight Nick off, but... nope. Sharing food with someone is what resolves the tension. Love it.
It kinda says something about Coach's character that, even after both options were considered (he definitely glanced over at the broomstick as he looked to his ribs,) he still opted for the non-violent of the two. Even if they run out of Chili's Baby Back Ribs on that aimless boat ride, before they run ashore and grab seconds, there won't be bad blood between the two. Just barbecue sauce
excellent take but I think that's the hunter (zombie) (l4d2) I can see the nick though
@@herculesbeetle Thats just Nick in his Pajamas with BBQ Sauce on his Chin
@@herculesbeetle The body belongs to hunter but the head has been replaced by nick. The hunters real face is... disturbing to say the least.
Something beautiful
The free-spirited random ass of Googley Gareth's artistic comedy combined with Neil Cicierega's juxtaposed harmonic musical absurdity result in nothing less than a beautiful gift to the internet.
Fuck a zombie apocalypse, Coach is getting what truly matters in life.
Lmao
We can only hope to be this zen.
Ladies, find yourself a man that looks at you with the same affection Coach has for a plate of baby-back ribs.
Remeber when SFM shorts were all quick jokes and janky animation?
Now we've got stuff like THIS masterpiece!
The SFM community has come a long way, it's actually heartwarming haha
The quick jokes & janky animation is still good; but to be able to have both ends of the spectrum is infinitely better.
From about 2:16 onwards, this genuinely triggers real insane emotion in me
Coach straight up threw himself off a cliff to protect a rack of ribs. Truly iconic
When I saw the giant cowboy rise from the mountain range I was expecting a different song than the one he sung. I guess each cowboy has his own
Every rose has its thorns man.
Dude, now you have no choice but to animate the other Mouth Dreams tracks. This was beatiful
nah, he has a choice - just hope he makes it c:
shh
The whole album as a SFM movie
"You can't see the forest for the trees and you can't smell your own -Knees-!" Is my absolute favorite part. The pure frustration. XD
The running at 1:33 is amazing
my favorite thing about the end of this video is the classic 'sail into the sunset', but its being accompanied by the introduction to dream on. Such a good touch to the original song
This is perfect
Obligatory reminder: On the Mouth Dreams track list, "Ribs", which mixes in Marilyn Manson, is between "My Mouth" and "Get Happy."
A popular urban legend claims that Marilyn Manson removed one of his ribs so he could give himself fellatio.
Thats such a meta joke holy shit
It all makes sense now. Thank you random commenter, your deed did not go unnoticed
Oh my god
Neil is just insane enough that this makes complete sense and is totally his style.
Huh, I would have thought it was a joke about ribs being tasty
"are you trying to be me"
signifying that the act of eating his ribs is akin to identity theft.
Apparently according to Googly the ribs were actually his but then stolen by Coach.
@@fenrirsrage4609 that is what I implied yes
Makes me wonder which of the two would be the one who would end up paying the restaurant bill then lol
2:25 - God this entire moment is just so perfect.
This is hands down my favorite SFM to ever exist. Thank you so much for this creation
Bruh took ya long enough😅
Coach is god
Dude same
2:25 there is just something about the character being animated so well singing this part of the song with so much passion that puts a smile on my face. My day is now so much better thank you.
I love Neil Cicirega songs. It feels like he takes you on a journey and this video does that so wonderfully. I know this must have taken so much work and it shows. Truly impressive and a treat to watch. I look forward to whatever comes next.
can you recommend any other songs as great as this
@@Crackalak Bustin' , Time, and The End are some of my favorites of his. Just look up his name and go through the "Mouth" Albums. See what strikes your fancy. They're all wonderful works of art.
@@Crackalak Touch Tone Telephone, Cabinet Man are epic songs by Neil.
I was watching the video and thinking, "wow this guy edited the video so well and made a fantastic mash up" then I saw Neil and realized why it was good lol.
This the best-animated running I’ve ever seen in SFM, hats off to you sir
Only effective chilies advertisement i've ever seen
2 years... and I'm just now seeing this. 10/10 ultra dope
1:46
This is the moment that this surpassed the realm of shitposting, and became art.
This aged well.
This perfectly encapsulates the surrealism that this album was so focused on creating. Neil's stuff is always surreal, but Mouth Dreams made it a motif. Thank you for making this, you absolutely nailed it!
The way Coach looked... I could really smell the tasty ribs from his expression. Great work man, great work. This must have taken so long to finish, but it was all worth it, a true SFM masterpiece.
I love how unappetizing those ribs are. Literally just gibs.
Chili's Baby Back Gibs....!
These animations are way too good for a shitpost. Im gonna cry over here, it's so beautiful.
This has absolutely NO business being as good as it is. Yet here we are, with absolute perfection.
Coach does seem like the type of guy to enjoy a good plate of ribs
I just realized he's the typical football coach .
Ok, don't get me wrong, this animation looks fantastic, but does anybody else think that zombie nick actually works surprisingly well?
I made the face retexture so that's good to hear thanks
@@googleygareth Must have been hard to do, I respect it
@@Pumpkincolonthree oh yeah, no zombie Nick looks tooo good, Gareth, you're pretty impressive
Holy shit you just made me realize that. That's AMAZING detail and I swear I've seen this at least 100 times
The first time he yells "Hey you what do ya see?" the facial animation is so fucking smooth it's insane.
2:25 I showed my older sister this frame and asked her what emotion it makes her feel, and without missing a beat, she said “A feeling of longing”
I like to think the hunter sings "My Mouth" afterwards on the boat because he needs a drink to go with the ribs
Nobody talkin about nick tho
I haven't been captivated by an animation to this extent in a long, long time- it's genuinely, utterly beautiful. The sheer expression you were able to put into each expression, the slow build up of the music and tension to the climax, everything.
As long as you enjoy it, please continue to do what you do, this kind of art is what makes life worth living
It might seem silly for such a silly video but yes unironically this
Its absolutely fantastic to watch this video in 0.5x Speed and see how well each and every single facial expression is done so meticulously. This is on level with Valve's TF2 SFM's they made. I have honestly never seen that much detail in a SFM since those videos until now. And what better then one of Neil's songs to go along with it. Absolute masterpiece, I really hope to see more like this.
It really is. It’s super impressive! This is like something a whole team of people would make!
Makes me curious about trying SFM out again (this time on a newer, more powerful computer), but it’s so difficult to work with.
2:53 A Cool Detail Here!
Nick Is Primarily Shown In Blue Lighting Throughout The Video, But Once Coach Gives Him A Rib, He Loses The Lighting And Is Happier Now :D
1:32 the way he immediately grabs the ribs and just starts running will always crack me up. Zero hesitation, get the rib rack and start leggin it
The ambition and audacity to to add to Neil’s work is astounding enough. Delivering on seemingly every level and then some? Words fail me. Outstanding work, my guy! Keep up the amazing work.
Something that I learn since the Anonymoose videos is that in SFM you can bring a musical video of such a song in a goofy or cool or beautiful or strange or *all of them* way
*And this fella is a great example of bring it such a piece.*
that run animation at 2:35 was a thing of beauty
How did this exist for two years without me knowing about it?
I've been unironically listening to this once a day since it came up in my feed. Such a banger.
Ugh, same. This and that "medieval serf listens to promiscuous girl" video
he didnt make the song it's from mouth dreams
@@turtleboi456 I didn't say that he did, just that I've been listening to it 😉
Those ribs have got to be tough as hell to handle all that journey through crackhead-land. Good ribs have the meat fall right off the bone.
Clearly you don't know coach. Man keeps it together, no matter what.
A rack of ribs is never tough, nor is it loose. They fall off the bone precisely when they mean to.
tbf, coach might be lying, and those are actually St. Louis style ribs, not baby backs
Technically ribs that fall off the bone easily are overcooked. They should be tender but still stay attached to the bones
i was thinking the same thing!
Just describing one scene of this sounds crazy:
Suddenly a giant cowboy raised from the mountains and began singing the lions sleep tonight and at that moment the ribs grew wings and the man was saved
this was wonderful. 1:35 had me rolling though. i love highly detailed weird animation like that.
I like to read this as a story about a zombie who really sucks at asking his crush out.
One of my buds lost his aux privileges when he played this in the kitchen at work. It was fuckin worth it he said. Bless him.
He truly is blessed. Unfortunately, it seems not many these days have it in them to appreciate energy like this.
There was a part of me that didn’t want to listen to Tool music because I labeled it “hippy music” and thought “what would the bros think if they caught me with this”.
I very quickly saw how limiting that was for me and I learned to appreciate the energy given and learned to determine what was good and bad for myself more.
I know people that carry themselves governed by other people’s expectations like “what a man should do” and it blocks them from appreciating things.
I wanna see more people make SFMs of Neil's mouth music's because they have so much potential to be amazing. Right now it's just this one and wndrwll
Don't forget about "Aaamoooreeee"
This SFM is pure art with the perfect music blending and all of the emotions portrayed perfectly through facial expressions
It's an honor and a priviledge to be alive during the time this work of art has been released.
How? what.... This is art. Im not even fucking kidding. These people expertly utilized multiple forms of media to tell a compelling, evolving story in about 3 minutes. Bravo.
What a mad lad animating all 3:11 of this to such a high level! I really liked the animation of them running in time with the music at 1:34!
I was not expecting a full Niel Cicierega music video, let alone completely animated in SFM! Well done, my fellow cultured sir!
"Food is love, food is life. Also, the belly rules the mind" - Ratatouille
I'm 99% sure that isn't a real ratatouille quote.
@@ameteuraspirant no, ratatouille definitely says that.
I love how I was introduced to all these animators during the SBFP days and seeing how far they’ve grown since then
If there is one thing i've noticed across your animations, its that you are very good at surprised faces (like 1:29, and the zombine video)
Thanks!
This is fucking fantastic and horrifying all at the same time.
And it ain't even spooptober no more!
spooptober is a state of mind
This is actually how I hear music in my head. Multiple songs getting stuck in my mind, in harmony, all at once. Great video!
Gorgeously done, fantastic animation and non-nonsensical story, lol! 💖
OK but why is this genuinely one of the most beautiful things made in SFM, that mountain scene was STUNNING
As a lover of Mouth Dreams, Left 4 Dead, and SFM, this was pure cocaine for my brain
This is an absolute masterclass of something so perfect; yet so silly- in the absolute best way possible. I have watched this more than I am willing to admit.
I've wanted this song to have a music video for so long, I just never thought it'd be this good.
that fucking run cycle is fucking killing me
I've made it a tradition to always watch this video whenever I eat ribs.
Everyone mentioning the animation, which is amazing, however the cinematography is even better.
Stunningly well put together segments for a mashup this ridiculous.
the running animation is incredible holy shit
0:15- Shaq eating ribs
0:50- blade 2 vampire singing beautiful people
1:54- Ellis am i big enough lion king
2:58- Dream on
"Dream On" at the end always gets me 😆
I want my baby back riiiibs~
🎸🎵
A true work of art. Im never going to get the animation out of my head when listening to this
L4D Hunter with L4D2 Nick's head doesn't exist, it can't hurt you.
L4D Hunter with L4D2 Nick's head: 0:56
God damn that's ambitious as fuck
Coming back a year later cause the image of Coach booking it from the diner table in like 5 frames (1:33) with shit getting strewn everywhere still gets me smiling randomly throughout the day.
Ok….but why does this actually go hard? Him screaming with the zombies sprinting past was cool af
Words cannot describe how much feeling this gives me. It is so interesting and unique. It feels like a 2016 sfm memory.
You avoided the words good or bad there, what are your true opinions of this film?
