I love how COPPA gives these two an almost dystopian universe, they can’t say certain things and need to deflect, saying someone was removed for “unrelated performance issues” cannot express certain things, they have to keep their conversations easily understandable and mundane, it’s almost like animation with COPPA is an actual dystopian future

Imagine being such a talented storyteller that you can properly convey Existential Despair through a grey box with a monotone TTS voice

The way Perry replied "Of course, Carl" to Carl's request, I actually heard legit emotion. Looking forward to more of Perry and Carl.

Note there is only one lane in the road. This symbolized that in the world of Carl and Perry, there is only one truly acceptable path for society and its civilians.

TerminalMontage started a critic to COPPA and later produced an entire lore about it, Simply amazing!!

More than the animation, I feel that the most important thing is the message of the video, since many times labor relations are complicated in an environment where a lot depends on how you behave and how you react to certain people.

1:30 I absolutely lost it when I saw the car behind them take off! And seeing it still in traffic at 2:08 in the air made it even better

I want to hug them both... life is rough

I like how when Carl says he's been inconsistent, the buildings behind him break continuity.

This man took a rectangle and a cube and is currently making lore about these 2 characters in a seemingly dystopian world, bravo.

The amount of empathy is strong in this one. When he said "INSERT QUOTE HERE", I felt that...

Oh god that “Of course, Carl” felt so real for an a text to speech

Won’t lie, this felt like a cross between a peace of surrealist art and an uncomfortably familiar episode of the twilight zone. Brilliant work, as usual.

I will forever be amazed at the fact that Jeremy took what was quite literally the most bland, uninteresting concept that a human could think of in history and made it intriguing enough for us to beg for more. Never change.

Only TerminalMontage can breath life and personality into characters that weren't supposed to have it in the first place

I love how there is still a surreal sense of humor despite how lifeless and consumed by bureaucracy the Carl and Perry world is. It’s like playing paper fold football in an office cubicle when the boss isn’t looking.

Just bland enough to destroy my mind, but eventful enough to keep me on the edge of my seat for the drama.

This is actually an adult conversation that a lot of people can learn from. Even as I look at it, supposedly self aware as I am. Have to look at this and myself. It's a good exercise to do generally

the "would you assume custody of my (nothing) if i lose my employment", followed by the long pause, and then "of course", actually broke me. It's like they're self aware of the world they live in, yet still have lives/personalities that expand past the limits of Coppa

Damn, this really hits different. It seems familiar since it hits close to reality, but also a sense of dread even tho it’s an animation, kinda caught me off guard and it really shows how amazingly done this entire video was. The narrative puts so much personality in literal geometric shapes

That part about "assuming custody of my [NOTHING]" really kinda hit hard for me. After toiling away in this job for god knows how long, he still has nothing to claim as an important milestone in his life. I seriously think that's a nuanced line - he says that as if it's *expected* of him to have some sort of thing to ask his trusted friend to look after should he lose his job, but the grim reality is that besides his job, what _does_ he have? It's clear his life has fully formed around being a just another "block" (hence the character designs) in the corporate world. Or maybe I'm doing that thing literature teachers do where they look for meaning where there is none, lmao

Despite being deliberately vague (or maybe specifically because it's vague), these stories feel relatable in the most uncomfortable sense. This sensation that we're meandering through our lives, our concerns occupied with the roles we must fulfill instead of personal enrichment, becomes a scary reality as we grow older. Yet despite the cynical flavor, there's a little bit of comfort found in Carl and Perry being good enough friends to support each other in this dull time. And all of it because of the idiocy that is COPPA. All the hats off to you, Jeremey, for creating such a fascinating little series!

I like how the background kinda describes how carl is feeling without any emotion in his voice. He is obviously stressed, this is really nice work Terminal!

I recently finished reading 1984 and I’ve actually noticed this series is so similar in concept from what I’ve gathered. A dystopian world where the people above control what civilization does, say, or think and if they were to do anything that steps out of line, they would disappear and erased from history. If Carl and Perry somehow goes down a similar route, I’d love to see them become aware of the situation and try to tear down the messed up society that they live in and was caused by the higher ups/COPPA and they become their own people and be who they wanna be. Heck, I’d love to see what the two would look like if they no longer had to “obey” COPPA’s standards.

Honestly, as much as I love Something About... I'm way more appreciative and excited towards Carl and Perry. It's a really good way to help filter out the viewpoints and perspectives. You ever heard of the whole gimmick, where you flip a coin to help you pick between 2 choices, and while the coin is falling and is close to landing, in that moment right as it reaches the end, you figure out what you really wanted all along? Or rather as the coin falls, you find yourself realizing what you're secretly hoping it lands on? And how the coin lands is irrelevant because you're using the coin as a way to figure out how you feel? Carl and Perry is sorta like that for me. As I have to fill in the blanks myself, it helps me become more clear of my leanings and gives me the opportunity to reassess if these feelings are one to be held or challenged. It's a good mental exercise and these videos help spur that along. I honestly hope for more of these over time rather than such strong focus on Something, but alas I know better lol. Keep up the good work brother.

"Welcome to the World of Progress and Adult Conversations with Carl and Perry." Sometimes, it's refreshing to have something down to earth on a wacky, meme filled channel like this. Keep up the good work! 👍

I've said it once and I'll say it again, this is actually kind of terrifying in a way. The last video made me feel that way, and this video made me feel the same. The random instances of the world glitching, such as the car that randomly starts floating in the background at 1:31, and the appearance of color for a split second during the scene with the advertisement in the background, and not to mention the end credits scene. All in all, the world that Terminal Montage is creating actually feels like a proper horror/Dystopian setting, and I can't wait to see more. My new favorite series lol

I work in the pharmacy. Seeing that sign about health insurance then hearing Carl’s dilemma hit too close to home. I hear/see this almost every day.

I've become more attached to these characters than I would like to admit.

It's good to know that Perry has Carl's back when it comes to his [NOTHING]. Hopefully Carl can get through these hard times soon.

These two grey rectangles are more charismatic than the vast majority of politicians today. Love em!

There is just something so relatable about Carl and Perry. They invoke a [insert feeling here] into me, and make me ponder about [insert life issue here] without going over the top or over staying their welcome. [Insert gesture of gratitude here], Terminal.

If anyone should tell me that this is greatest Adult Sitcom I have ever seen, then so be it tell me because this is truly a masterpiece.

This is definitely a Adult conversation classic!

I love the use of “redacted” words. It’s feels like a sort of balance where you can just barely understand what they’re talking about, but it’s never specific enough to feel comfortable. It’s loose enough that you can interpret it in many ways.

I don't know how many times I've come back to this video. There's something so... familiar and captivating about it, specially with "Work Performance", that I find strangely soothing. Plus, I love Carl and Perry's friendship, it really feels genuine and wholesome.

This just keeps getting deeper and deeper. Poor Carl and his [INSERT PRESCRIPTION DRUG] addiction and his need to keep working as a [INSERT PROFESSION HERE] just to keep him alive and well. I hope Perry takes care of his [NOTHING] if [SOMETHING] happens to Carl.

He asks Perry to take care of his "nothing". In the first episode Carl was going to show Perry his pet. But since pets weren't allowed on "adult content" the pet disappeared and Carl amended the word pet to "Nothing".

I love how the car floats up, but still waits his turn in traffic. Also Carl has a great friend, I wish I had someone to look after my [nothing] after being removed from my position as a [Insert job Role] due to [insert un-realated Performance issues].

I feel like a special niche has been hit here. In a world where it's so easy to feel alone, seeing Carl and Perry, unique yet not unique, in a world where they are not quite alone... It's oddly comforting.

One ticket please to "Adult conversation with Carl and Perry".

This is an interesting series. As time goes on, Carl and Perry's world starts to change and convert to a more colorful point of view

you don't need complicated character designs to tell good stories.. well done!

2:07 The casual airplane that’s actually a car sneaking into frame is so genius. The fact that you somehow found a way to be creative while following COPPA to the absolute letter is just amazing.

Even though this entire animation is supposed to be bland and unmoving, only using grays and whites to show the neutrality of the environment, I love this. It’s very well animated and the creativity of just two bricks talking about adult life works so well.

This man made a heartfelt, introspective, funny, and genuinely wonderful piece of art, all from some grey cubes and some text to speech dialog. This man has talent like I have never seen.

Who knew that I could relate to two grayscale boxes on so many levels? I feel that’s what it’s like trying to live a sustainable life. You’re just apart of this existing fixed world, staying in your lane, trying to just make ends meet, and you’re just stuck in this greyscale world trying to find some color/meaning to your life.

2:34 Glad that Carl’s -pet- Nothing untroduced in the first COPPA vid is doing well and being well fed.

TM has always been known for his hilarious comedic setup skills and animation style, but damn he's a master at setting moods and maintaining a tone throughout his videos. Everything agrees with itself thematically and it's a simple technique but it gives so much to the content. Edit: the best example of this being that everything in this particular installment is made to be very rigid, flat, and mundane. Lack of color, everything being made up of sharp-edged polygons, even the music being a dead ambience with no other significance than it filling the silence. TTS voice generators, this is as plain as it gets. And that fact is what makes sequence breaks so much more impactful. I.e, the flash of color about 2 minutes into the video. Cool to think about.

This is distressingly accurate, it even gave me the kind of existential crisis that work gives me every time I realise I'll never make it out of working class or be able to afford a house.

It's really interesting how things slowly have started getting more bizarre and interesting in a world forced into dullness like this one! from the flash of color on the billboard, before quickly being overtaken by the dull blandness of advertisement, to the floating car that is still refusing to break from its ever-marching path, despite any physical thing to stop it from moving as it wishes. Finally, that giant all-seeing COPPA-eye on the skyscraper is both foreboding and could be wonderfully meaningful! Imagine if Carl and Perry start showing emotion and care to the point that this eye fully notices them, and they have to push back to the point that they become truly unique, turning back into what they truly were (Carl returning to their existence as Kirbo, and Perry perhaps becoming someone new? maybe Luigi, considering how close the two are connected, as well as Perry's greater height compared to Carl.). Maybe the two will remain as they are, yet still let themselves... be themselves. Nothing to truly hold them back, but not becoming someone else entirely. Carl would truly become unique and separate from the Kirbo they were made from, rather than a blanded down facsimile of a person they were forced into being.

Wow Perry is such a chad, willing to take custody of Carl’s [n o th i n g]. That’s a big responsibility to take on. How adult.

Everybody talking about how profound our bois in grey are but nobody mentioning how Perry is the real homie for being willing to take custody of Carl's [nothing] if he ever loses employment

Wow this is one of the most interesting and beautiful animations ever made. There is so much color and ummm… goodness. This is such a sad and amazing story, it is so creative, I have not seen a single animation better than this. And the sound design is on point, the fun bopping tunes just in the background that quickly turns intense yet still cheerful during fight scenes. And the character evolution is on point, it is perfectly paced. The characters voices are just great as well they just fit the characters perfectly. Overall this is literally the best animation that I have ever seen… EVER!!!

I can’t explain it; I’m captivated by this video. You’ve always made awesome content, but this is the one singular video you made that I’ve had to rewatch immediately after seeing it the first time, and then rewatched again to see if the magic was still there. I think it’s the blanks you left that drew me back, as the first time you watch it, you’re just observing the conversation of two people talking about work stress and problems while remaining very vague about all the details that mattered, but after watching it again, I just replaced those blanks with things that would apply to me personally, and as the conversation went on, it became more surreal and dreadful, as it indicates that this is the road that ALL of us are going down. That this is a conversation that is going to happen, if it hasn’t happened already. The line where Carl mentions his superior, where it’s a distorted sound effect rather than a blank hit me especially, because I’ve had bosses that I never wanted to think about during and outside of work, and that even their name was enough to instill dread for me. It’s so apparently dark while still holding on to the comedy of two shapes talking about apparently nothing. Good video, dude.

This episode of “Adult conversations with Perry and Carl” was rather informative. I would love to see more of these in the future. Also, this seems to be set in a dystopian world similar to that of “1984” where you are always being watched. In this case, the giant eye looking down from a high-rise building.

This seems serious. I’m glad Perry is such a good friend to help Carl.

whatever happened to that coworker must have been very bad, because their name was completely censored while perry and carl are allowed to use their names freely

This is absolutely amazing, from the tension of the music to the subtle little breaks in continuity.

Thank you for listening.

Carl making me scared with his adult realism. He's scared of losing his job and everything spiraling out of control from there on out, and unfortunately that's a very real thing that happens nonstop. This is truly a very adult conversation. Not meant for kids.

That hit hard. For me especially the part where camera slowly transitions from busy highway to the stars. It makes their dull, boring life seem insignificant compared to the infinite unreachable and beautiful stars.

Something i've noticed and really like is how VERY real these conversations are. Even in this dystopian world Carl and Perry are trying to talk around their limited dialogue and they've even managed to make it work but like the video shows in its expressions of color on the billboard, zalgo text and [censored] individuality, its almost as if that individuality or at least Carl's atm, almost wants to violently come out. I'm really curious to see what will happen in future episodes!

Man this is super funny for adults, I love this show!

Unironically, I really love this series. Good way to keep the audience on their toes :)

1:30 the car behind carl and perry just ascends to heaven bruh...?

I'd honestly like to see more of these. It really helps to broaden my thought process's on these kind of subjects.

I’m loving the hints about a dark side to this universe! Also the pet nothing, lol

Carl and Perry are my two new favorite characters of this show. I mean this is the peak content that nobody else could see. I mean who wouldn't want to see two blocks talking to each other in a car? Its brilliant.

This is really good, hits too close to home too. It’s oddly comforting being able to see them discussing tough topics that can apply to the real world as well, and I also really enjoyed the music too, it added to that dreary outlook when the camera panned to the empty sky. This is really well done considering it’s a massive difference from the something series.

I can't believe how much this helped me see a different perspective in multiple situations in my life. Carl and Perry is so mind-boggingly odd, that my brain tries to relate it to so many things and I end up learning something where there is nothing. It's incredibly intriguing. You're mind is a crazy place TM. I ponder what it'd be like to see and experience those crazy, awesome thoughts in full ^^ Thanks for making so much amazing content for us over the years! Stay Hydrated and Have a Great Day!

I love these so much! Interesting to see two blocks drive around the block!

I’m invested in this world now. The friendship between Carl and Perry, the eye that watches from above. I want to know MORE! But seriously though, this is really cool what you’ve done with your rectangles that weren’t even supposed to be characters who are now in an interesting dystopia with their own problems.

idk what it is, but something about this video... It's simultaneously soothing and comforting, and eerie and creepy. Like it hits a weird gap, in more ways then one, it's indescribable, and almost unreal. And though this is just an animation, consisting of very basic ideas, shapes, and speech, it feels like anything but that. Bro this thing gives me chills in ways i didn't think were possible, like a glitch in the matrix, a broken piece of reality, almost as if I have ascended in some way. Bro idk what I'm even on about, but I find this series of pictures and sounds to be enjoyable, please continue to produce, as I would like to experience more.

This just hits super hard. I look forward to Carl and Perry at the same length I await any other video you make. Deep in the land of funnies, you still have the longing need of SOMETHING to make sense. This is one of those things that does. Thanks for that, Jeremy.

Oh boy oh boy, I sure do love watching the adult conversations between Carl and Perry

I really love how your able to talk about actual ideas and opinions that adults deal with on a regular basis but not make it come off as overly condescending or annoying. Good work as always.

Carl and Perry feel like people who have lived their whole life in a brutal dystopia, and although still having human hearts, speak entirely in newspeak as a matter of course

I really love when [insert character here] was all like [insert dialogue here]! And that ENDING! It was so [insert strong emotion here]!!! Great job guys!!!

2:08 dude, I burst out laughing seeing the car having noticed it earlier 😂😂😂 oh I love your videos! Also very happy to be able to log meetings on timesheets and factor them into my workloads.

What a riveting conversation between these two people, I can really tell that they’re the life of the party

Jeremy, I’ve studied dystopian literature for over 6 months now, and the world of Carl & Perry feels like a love letter to my soul. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this.

I just realized when Carl asked if Perry would take care of his [Nothing], it's censored like that because he did have a pet in the first episode, but because COPPA didn't allow conversation over pets, it disappeared and he referred to it as nothing.

I must say it’s nice to see things outside of the something series for a change (not that I don’t love it) I’m really looking forward to what’s arriving in autumn! Good luck with any future animations.

Thank you Carl and Perry for another insightful conversation about being an adult. I'm sorry to hear that they live in such a place where medicine is not affordable.

So ridiculous and fantastic at the same time! I love this content and that you've created a world for this specific niche. You are a wonderful artist and KZfaqr. Thank you for your content and please keep it coming!

I very unironically love Carl and Perry. I am so happy to see them again.

Our first thought seeing this in our notification box: "Oh, sick! New Carl and Perry!" Was not expecting to get so attached to this silly shape joke, but something about this just... *Works.* We guess. Also that stinger is. HOUGH. Is it bad to be... Hyped for these? We don't feel like it's intended, but these genuinely rock. Nicely done!

Some good fun with these two!

After rewatching the first one, I think Carl's "nothing" that he gives Perry may be referring to his -Pet-

If this was the completely original content Jeremy had been alluding to, I really wouldn't be mad. It's the limitations that COPPA provides that act as the crucible for unusually deep and relatable drama. An unexpected and refreshing juxtaposition to the Something About Series. Whatever y'all are doing, I'm here for it.

These videos are so satisfying, the simplicity and music is so calming

So you are telling me that Carl's Nothing still exists and did not just cease to exist in the first COPPA video? And he cares to keep it well even if he can't bring it up in conversations unless just to mention it? Carl is the best

Your Something Abouts are some of this the greatest entertainment that I watch… but Carl and Perry is on another level. By far one of the coolest things you do. You are the only person creative enough who could make an entirely COPA compliant video that is also one of the most unhinged and best social commentaries I’ve ever see. KEEP MAKING GOOD STUFF!!!!

Dude, this is the DEEPEST Terminal Montage video yet, and that is AFTER I've seen the multiple parallel universes theory. Great work with this video's presentation, TM~

Really liked how at 2:41 the TTspeech for Perry gave them a slight inflection when they agreed to look after Carl's [NOTHING] if they lose their job, almost like gaining something akin to soul after doing that. I'm really loving this and I legitimately hope you make more of this soon!

I impressed by how you're able to make an understandable and intriguing story dispite following COPPA's """guidelines""" of making everything either unappealing or ambiguous. And I've got a feeling that someone is gonna break a guideline at some point...

the end genuinely made me smile, the way he says “of course carl” hit my heart

I'm so glad this series is continuing! It's so creepy and unnerving yet so funny and interesting
