Kimmy:deceased Timmy:deceased Jimmy:alive He's the last one

Imagine if a little kid looked up how to ride a bike and got this

"A guy like Timmy will pass everyone." Timmy: *proceeds to get hit by two trucks** Me: Yeah, he'll pass everyone in the afterlife.

5:22 In the film The Seventh Seal, the game of chess acts as a metaphor for life; no matter how well the knight plays he cannot beat Death. His only option in the end is to disrupt the game, in the hope of distracting Death long enough for someone else to escape unnoticed. This implies that Jimmy also failed to escape the Slump, but by his brave and disruptive act of defiance empowered others to try. The video also refers to Jimmy becoming a man, so perhaps Jimmy is the man at 5:27 who has to watch all his hopes and loved ones float away, because now he is the only one unable to leave the Slump? In this way, is Jimmy not a modern Christ figure, sacrificing himself for the good of all mankind, until that time when he must ascend from this mortal plane, as depicted at 5:37?

"Don't be surprised to find your dad lying dead on the floor."

Instructions unclear, climbed a tree instea- WAIT NO

4:45 This is actually really inspirational.

This makes a lot more sense when you know tipsy used to do drugs

Jimmy and Timmy huh? No Kimmy I see...

“Don’t mind him. He probably had no father to begin with” made me laugh

I just realized this is a clear metaphor for life. You start without knowing what to do, but with the help of your parents you start going forward. But as you go you go far from them and they might in fact abandon you, so you'll be on your own. Then you'll need to learn to go on with life without getting hurt and you'll meet strangers that might be nice or bad. And if you take a wrong turn, like Timmy, you'll end up with all the people that aren't accepted by society. Timmy lost his head after becoming a drug addict because the drugs made him lose his common sense and perception of reality.

4:56 Boom. Headshot.

Yep. Still went dark but not as fast as "How to climb a tree".

He’s nothing like Timmy he wears his hat backwards and his name’s Jimmy

The line “Screw luck! I’ll give you something better than luck, A BIKE!” Is more tense and emotional than anything I’ve seen out of a major motion picture in years

My interpretation of the story being portrayed here: Timmy was attempting the leave whatever hell they were trapped in with the help of the Narrator, but something stopped them, so the Narrator had to resort to using Jimmy to be free. He almost got away with it, but like Step 56 says, It's all just a cycle of torture.

That moment when Narrator started encouraging Jimmy was inspiring

“Well, that escalated quickly”

2:58 "If you were from where I was from you be fucking dead" basically a manifestation of this line

4:35 why does this part feel so weirdly motivational? Like he’s encouraging you

"The man began to think that, like this balloon, he too was full of helium, because all his hopes and loved ones kept floating away" Beautiful

Timmy and Jimmy *They didn't know anyone named Kimmy*

2:26 TIMMY YOU ABSOLUTE FOOL he told you not to stop for anyone!

Kim: *Was murdered in an AXEident* Tim/Timmy: *Was hit by a Truck* And what will happen to Jim!!?!?

The fact that you never see scout's face full-on adds a lot to the alienating vibe.

The story from my point of view: This takes place after "How to climb a tree". We start by following Tim(my) as he tries another fun thing that life has to offer, but like the time they tried to climb a tree, this story turned rather grim... Tim tried to ride a bike with his dad (who never knew about Kim's death) but was hit by a truck on the streets, after having to put down his own brother and getting severely paralised while trying to have a normal day Tim resorted to using drugs to fill his pain, this made him die of an overdose and leave only Jim(my) left. Jim was always just watching everything happen, being only part of the crowd while the important things happened, he practically didn't do anything to help Kim or Tim. Jim had enough of being just another regular person on the planet and decided to act, making the right choices in his life and having a family of his own, but Jim didn't get to live his happy life because the cycle repeated itself with his son being the one getting ran over by a truck. I believe that The Slump is just a methaphorical way to represent Jim, Kim and Tim's mind, the man with the balloon would represent Jim after having all his loved ones taken from him by destiny... *I guess this story really was rather grim, right?*

3:40 amazing music at this part

3:56 I like how it says "mostly communist" and looks at soldier the most American person ever

"how to ride a bike" (TF2 related animation) me : ah, this seems nice! *sees the creator of the video* me : nevermind

What to expect from Tipsy Duck: -Good animations that lead from 0 to a Thanos snap in a number of seconds

5:23 There something about how Claire de lune sounds here I can’t get over. I can’t find anything that captures it, maybe it’s my imagination or the context of the video? But it just feels different and perfect

Subtitles: "BECAUSE TIMMY IS NOT TIMMY". Me: oh... Okay...

I feel like the order of lore for this would be: How to climb a tree A funny And then this one Timmy is mentally unstable after killing his friend, Kim. Thus starting A funny. At the end, Timmy rides into the path of the truck, correlating to this one. Why do I think this? At the 1:26 mark of a funny it says “every forty seconds someone ends their life.” 2:06 is how long a funny is. Timmy eventually died after his unsuccessful attempt at suicide by a drug addiction. Jimmy sees this. After going through the slaughtering of his friend, (there was a reference to this in how to climb a tree) likely abuse from his father, and his last friend dying, Jim decides to get on his figurative bike and tries to be successful, gaining hope in himself to “be a man.” With his effort, he enters back into a normal life, having children. However, when teaching his child to bike, his kid is run over, thus leading Jimmy into a inevitable spiraling depression that would eventually lead him to climbing a tree, and, wishing for Timmy to put him out of his misery.

I just realized... Whenever somebody gets hurt on screen, Ravens fly across the sky in the background. For example, At 0:23 Did anyone else notice what also flew across the screen when Kim was " Hurt "?

6:30 they grow up so fast

5:38 the 2021 NYC heaven's stairway incident

"Oh boy, time to watch another completely normal youtube vid-" Uploader: T I P S Y D U C K

Dad: creator of you, superhero, BETTER THAN BILLYS DAD

2:23 As many times as I've watched this I never noticed the bird snatching up that rabbit until now.

I like how no one is talking about how at 6:09 that's not Jimmy, but Billy

I swear all this guy does is make dark sfms using scouts.

Well. At least I know how to ride a bike.

6:23 the what

"A DAD!" DAD: Creator of you. *superhero* Absolutely

After watching this for the 5th time, I noticed that "Timmy" starts out with his hat on forwards, while "Jimmy" puts his hat on backwards. In the end, the person that looks like "Timmy/"Jimmy" has his hat on sideways. I see Timmy/Jimmy as two sides of the same person. Timmy goes through life without a supportive father and is rammed by the metaphorical truck into "The Slump". He turns into "Jimmy" to get himself out of the Slump. In the end, he is a combination of both Timmy and Jimmy, sending off another kid to go through the same trials as him before.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scout 2

i just realised something about the line "follow me and billy and you'll be on the streets in no time" takes on a hole new meaning once you've watched the entire film and it's metaphors for drugs tipsy duck you've done it again

1:31 I like how the bicycles doesn't have shadows

Roses are Red Bikes are fun Then what happened? A hit and run

"Get yourself a dad" *laughs in no dad*

I came back after 3 years 'couse i still remember this masterpiece and the bit with a baloon stuck with me. I also take the part "jimmy is not timmy" as a kinda desperate hope, like in david bowies "heroes"

That was a turn 4:10

After dealing with the death of Kim and the fear or his dad breaking his legs, Tim tried to find a hobby in biking to make him forget the pain. Then, after his dad died, he turned to crack cocaine to give him a façade feeling of life, after he became so detached from his life.

“Because time is a hoar who won’t stop sucking” -this guy

I just realized that "The Cycle" (Part 56) has two meanings - either riding a bicycle, or the story cycling around (the kid gets a push on his way much like how Timmy got a push form his Dad) - and that's the joke.

“better than Billy’s Dad” The kid at the end is named Billy.hmmmmmm....

How to climb a bike

Is this Tipsy's way of saying he just got over a crack binge? Edit: This isn't the first time I've watched one of Tipsy's videos, guys. I know his stuff is dark and most of it is very likely an allegorical representation of his life/views.

How to ride a bike : 1. "Act your age." 2. "Get a car."

Thanks! I’ve been struggling with riding a bike for a while, but this helped a lot!

So kim died in the first one, tim died in the second... when does jim die?

I can confirm this is exactly how I learned to ride a bike

My man just went from the kind narrator of a family movie to cave Johnson having a rant about lemons

this video was an actual deadass work of art. the slow yet sudden descent into madness and then the leap back to reality was so goddamn fun and i love the touch of no one ever showing their faces aside from the little breaks we take.

Can we have a tutorial on how to ride a tree next?

*Boy howdy I sure did learn a thing or six about riding a bike today*

me: i hope it's not horrifying as the "how to climb the tree" video.. Horrific stuff: bonjour. actual tips: adios.

Show this to a kid as a dont do drugs commercial and those kids would never get close to drugs

This is ART! Innocent start, Nostalgic view, Dark twist, Badass flip up and Epic commentary. Kinda reminds me of Lemons

Reminds me of the Stanley Parable

probably one of the greatest videos of the last century. I come back to Tipsy's channel at least once a year and re-watch some of their videos, because these videos always manage to either make me laugh in some way, or make me learn something. Thank you, Tipsy for these beautiful philosophical questions that pop into my head after watching these videos.

This made me feel a very appreciative feeling. Thanks a lot for your art Tipsy Duck!

*DAD* Creator of you, superhero, Better than Billy's Dad

"mostly comunists" proceeds to cut to soldier

I keep coming back to this video whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed by depression and obsessing over my failures. Idk exactly why, but it always helps ground me a bit. Something about the pure bizarreness of it is just so relaxing and comfortable. Maybe it's just nice to hear the perspective of someone else who seems to paint such a detailed picture of what I'm feeling, and have inspirational messages sewn in saying that it gets better, and it's never too late. Anyways, thanks Tipsy.

"If you feel like things are spiraling out of control, you're probably right" What a note to leave out on.

I like how the intro to Timmy’s Dad said “Better than Billy’s Dad” at 0:38 and at the end Jimmy pushes Billy only for him to get hit by a truck, symbolizing that Jimmy is Billy’s Dad and that he got Billy killed in 7 seconds and Timmy’s Dad died in 7 seconds.

Every time i watch one of these videos its crazy high quality and insanely good writing surprises the hell out of me. I tried to find the slump bit online, but its totally original, like damnnn

what a journey

Man that is amazing i love horrors and creepy disturbing things and you do really great animations with this theme

This is the equivalent of laughing at a comedy movie about how you mutilate a corpse.

How to ride a bike! Part 1- The basics Part 4- Timmy is a crack cocaine addict

Imagine a little kid looking up how to ride a bike and he finds this.

The philosophy behind every one of your videos is fascinating, I can't stop rewatch this videos to understand them better.

This actually touched me. Surprisingly resonant with my own bad experiences as of the past year. I watch your vids expecting strange humor. I get strangely potent messages. Thanks for your good work.

I think this can resemble Tim Trying to start life, his dad helped him get started, but he died afterwards, just like most parents do. And then afterwards, it shows different people going through his life. Then, it shows him exploring different things, but he still continues on with life. Afterwards, he hits an end, he went and got into drugs, aka, the slump. That's the dark end of his life, getting into drugs, surrounded by people who also do drugs. He lost his head, meaning he's no longer mentally stable. Then Jimmy, he's the healthy one, he avoids it all.

This actually helped me through hard times. Thank you.

this actually has a meaning , the DAD , helps you on your childhood , once your off , its your choices , Timmy chose the wrong path , meanwhile Jimmy did , and the cycle repeats.

The fact that there are so many parts between 5 and 56 leads me to wonder just how many people died between those. We go from Timmy to Jimmy and Billy at the end. How many did it take?

I will have permanent respect for Tipsy Duck simply because his works are deep af.

This somehow is very motivational whenever I inevitably come back to it every few months or so.

Everything is connected, Tim and Jim, Timmy is helped with his dad, Tim fears his dad. *everything is connected*

I remember the first time I rode a bike without training wheels. My dad helped me pick it out at Walmart, and we went to the cemetery for me to learn. He pushed me off and I started peddling!! I turned to see his face, hoping to see him proud, but he died, as I should've expected... but he did what he wanted before he died, cause if me as much trauma as possible, and he knew that teaching me how to ride a bike was the right way to do it. He was a clever bastard

4:05 "Crack Cocaine" Well that took a turn.

3 years later and I'm still coming back to this. Something about this...it sticks with you.

I love how every vehicle in this city is either a bicycle or a box truck

Yeah pretty legit

"I hope you learned something riding with me and Billy here" That is so Dark! That tells you that Jimmy dies as well

This video to me is about failing as a parent and I'll explain how I came to that conclusion. In part 1 when Timmy's dad at the beginning dies, his stepdad, the narrator takes over as the father figure in his life. Part 2 is about the stepfather trying to teach Timmy the lessons he needs to know in life. But the man on the bike telling Timmy that he was glad his dad died represents Timmy still trying to get to grips with losing his father and dealing with a new stepfather in his life. As the video goes on and Timmy starts to go down roads that go nowhere it means that he's starting to fail in the endeavors his stepfather has him attempt, however the stepfather keeps pushing Timmy to succeed and between the pressure and him missing his original father it all becomes too much for him causing Timmy to have a breakdown (The car crash). Part 3 is about Timmy turning to bad habits and going nowhere in life, which leads to part 4, him developing a drug addiction and dying. Afterwards the narrator has another son, Jimmy and does everything in his power to do better with this child and get him to succeed in life. But the clip with the man and the balloon shows that somewhere along the way the narrator drove away Jimmy too. And part 56, The Cycle shows that the narrator has another son, Billy and is beginning to fail that son too, as he says that when you think things are spiraling out of control, you are probably right.

Does that mean that: After the death of Kim in the "how to climb a tree" video, and Tim in this one, Jim had to witness the horrors of his two best friends dying a gruesome death, along with the strong possibility of an abusive father, leading to insanity where he'd go to be the main scout in the "a funny" video? If so, that's a deeply disturbing, yet an incredible connection. I give you my props
