- Where's the money, Lebowski? - Uh... it's down there somewhere, let me take another look... 0:36

Lyrics: Mirror Mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small Your vision is electrical Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to see something On the 3d plane Without knowing anything A world that we see Will show us what we dont know (he makes me know he makes me show us what we know) Oh mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small You knowin' that you want more Ding ding ding ding

My running theory about this is that the TV is the mirror cause shows and advertising is meant to show us what we "SHOULD" look like. What we "SHOULD" want. Showing us more "exciting" versions of our lives but in the end just being lies of unattainable dreams to make other people money.

Everyone is like "EXTEND THIS" and jack is just like ha ha mirror go ding ding

That last sequence of the guy gasping for air underwater showcases Jack's improvement as an artist. Please keep making wonderful, weird shit

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Lima Bean Man was having an existential crisis and Sabrina just carried on grooving.

Theory this is opals dad but young

Mirror Mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small Your vision is invisible Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to see us all Taking up the 3d plane You don't take up anything But when you sing You show us what we don't know (Did I say don't I mean you show us what we know) Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small You're not one then you are them all Ding ding ding ding

watching a jack stauber vid as its released feels really weird, like you dont know what to expect and you watch it and you cant understand a thing he is saying but you can sense a message but you really cant fully grasp it.

Jack’s voice sounds like silly putty in this song.

My theory: I think this one's about being insecure. The mirror/tv stands for how he views himself. At the beginning you can see that he's kissing someone on the tv. At that moment he is viewing himself as someone better and more confident than he actually is. After that (0:08) we see his true self, sitting on the couch being lazy and being a normal person. At 0:13 you can see him freaking out over being shown on tv. Maybe at that moment he's viewing his true self and reflecting on himself. In the song he's singing "What we see can show us what we don't know" which means that he was unaware of himself being uninteresting. This guy is not very confident and gets anxious, for not being special. Now he's feeling small, as implied in the song and at 0:21 where he's looking at a small tv (=little confidence) At the end (0:28) water is coming out of the tv, (standing for self doubt) which he is swimming in a lot a moment later. In the last shot we can see him drowning in it. (Sorry for bad grammar I'm not a native English speaker)

This man has more creativity in a toenail than I do in my entire being.

Mirror after being asked what it’s like to be so small: “it’s alright”

Getting addicted is like listening to this a few minutes ago and already wanting an extended version to listen for days.

0:06 will be the next Micropop cover, mark my words.

It used to frustrate me that I couldn't understand his songs and videos but at the end of the day I can get the basic point as long as I don't overthink it. I get the emotions of the song and the sentiment even if I can't understand exactly what it means, just goes to show how good his work is

I think this is about how a guy wants to be a perfect reflection of what he sees on television. For instance in 0:18 he sees a happier version of himself and feels anxiety about not being able to live up to that. So then in 0:23 he literally inspects every fine detail that exists ever within this televised world looking for an ounce of meaning within himself. But trying to be like fiction (that is, unrealistic but great), he finds himself alone. I imagine the goldfish surrounding him (0:32) are just the people he sees as simple-minded (goldfish are known supposedly for not being smart and having a terrible sense of memory). The real world is known for being dark and bleak, like the water around him, and the goldfish are perfectly suited to this environment, unlike him. The image of the drowning face at 0:39 possibly represents the guy's emotional state as being drowned in a neverending feeling of expectation and overwhelment. The world of the TV is drowning him, literally and metaphorically.

This is probably the most visually impressive thing he's made so far imho!

"What we see could show us what we don't know". It's fleeing to escapism (TV, movies, games, fiction, even reading this comment) thinking that you're going to find something that can fill your insecurities and flaws. "Did I say don't I mean you show us what we know"; as in, you know for a fact what your insecurities are, you know for a fact how to fix them. The problem is that the escapist fantasy is far too enticing, flashy, and spellbinding to detach from, even if it doesn't actually solve our problems. Eventually it comes to a point where you're drowning in your own loneliness and isolation.

Ok I saw a theory that this is the past version of Opals dad, at first I thought it was insane, but hearing the mirror bit and seeing his face being shoved in the water, seemingly not by him (possibly the mother), made me think it could be a possibility

"Mirror mirror, on the wall, There's no reflection here at all." -Dr Dog

Foolish Mr. Stauber, that is a television, not a mirror.

It's been 2 years jack, we need the extended version

Mirror Mirror: drowning in a tv New Normal: 2020 in a nutshell Back: he’s back

*Plot Twist:* Jack Stauber's videos are just the lower levels of his insanity

I have a theory: Jack is literally just vibing

My theory is that this guy is addicted to watching his tv and sees an idealised version of himself reflected in a tv show character. This tv guy has a girl and a life whereas the guy in reality is just trapped watching tv and living vicariously through this distorted mirror image version of himself. As he becomes more and more unlike this perfect tv character, he spirals downwards more and searches for a way to live in the tv. He looks into the cables and eventually breaks the tv screen - only to realise there’s nothing behind it. He’s stuck in the real world and he’s drowning in his own fantasies

My theory is the people in this world are so sucked into TV. 'being sucked into the tv' is a term used to say people are addicted to screens,but in this video it litterley shows people being sucked into the TV. We are shown a life on TV that we will never grasp,and the kid in the video realizes what in front of him and hes trying to swim out of this fake world,but yet we are all still drowning in what we will never have.

Theory: I think it’s about how we see ourselves (and by extension base our expectations of ourselves) on television. In the video the television is constantly referred to as a mirror, and the protagonist sees himself inside it.

Theory: nobody’s asking for an extended version because we all know this is like one of the first things he’s gonna extend next

Theory: this is Claire’s grandpa in his youth, the line “ your vision isn’t on the wall” Represents the grandpa being blind, and the guy gasping for air at the end is the grandpa breathing because in his song he is gasping for air

I love how he blends 2d digital, real life animation, 3d digital and claymation together so well

0:05 look at this and tell me this isn’t a Micropop cover

Watching adult swim as a kid be like.

jack just eats paint and makes song about what he sees fr

When my mom puts P in google 0:18 but its P of pokemon

Ah yes, my favorite genre, Jack Stauber.

0:36 that was such a cool effect holy jesus

I do have to wonder if this is the dad in "Opal."

This looks like a concept version of opal but like way different, think about it watch it again.

Jack: **uploads a new song** Animation community: (´⊙ω⊙`)

My theory: Jack just made a new Micropop

0:14 POGGERS POGGERS

THE ANIMATION ON THIS ONE IS INSANEEE

Alright, I'm wearing floaties next time I watch TV

Lyrics: Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small? Your vision is invisible Oh mirror on the wall What's it like to see us all? Take upon the 3D plane But don't take up anything What we see, Will show us what we dont know (did i say don't I mean you show us what we know) Mirror mirror on the wall what's it like to be so small? You're open and you want more Ding ding ding ding

Theory. He is both the dad and the grandpa of opal

I’m saying it, the tv is the next album mascot. And we’re getting extended versions of baby son adoring us, mirror mirror, and more.

My theory for this video is that... *w a t c h t v, d r o w n*

It’s symbolizing having addiction, wasting his time with screen time, and getting caught up in his emotions, specifically sadness, and realizing he made this so much into a habit that he can’t get out of it, and it’s become an addiction

Jack as the type of stuff where I see in my dreams and I can’t describe them

Jack Stauber's music feels like hearing emotion

Me: *looks in mirror* Reflection: *drowning* Me: I look pretty good today

My take on lyrics: Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small? Your vision is invisible Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to see us all? Taken in the 3D plane But don't take up anything And what we see Will show us what we don't know (Did I say don't? I mean you show us what we know) Mirror mirror on the wall What's it like to be so small? You're knowing that you want more Ding ding ding ding

Nobody will understand Jack Stauber except him, he knows himself and nobody else will unless he, Jack, tells them everything.

Theory: This is about Mirror Man right after everyone turns him down. He sees himself as a successful man on TV or in this case the “mirror” when in reality he's a depressed mess. which is the same thing that we see in Opal; We see him as a “successful” man with seemingly pleasant facial features but as soon as we stop seeing his view of himself we see a disturbing ugly man. And at the end of the video we see people getting sucked into the TV or the “Mirror” in this instance implying that Mirror man wants everyone to see what he thinks of himself.

Never ceases to amaze with a new catchy song. As always, EXTEND--

My theory is that jack knows how messed up in the head and nuts we all are which is why he makes these to try and make us come up with theories and he’s just sitting back and enjoying, possibly laughing at all the things were coming up with and none of this really means anything. Or could be the complete opposite and that we haven’t even scratched the surface of what he’s trying to communicate. either way his creations are beautiful😌

Let's just appreciate the cute "ding ding ding ding" at the end

“What kind of music do you listen to?” “It’s complicated”

Ещё одна прекрасная анимация от Джека...💖

Ngl, that drowning animation at the end is both absolutely amazing and terrifying at the same time

The similarities between this vid and Opal are really cool

Opal prequel

this sounds like the kind of song that would get extended, especially because of the few frames where there is a tv with big eyes looking at the screen just like the other cover arts, I’m calling it right now

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the wonderfullest of them all? It's Jack Stauber

This feels like it was meant to be some sort of prequel to So Easy To Breath on Opal.

I'm calling it, this one's getting extended and the cover for it is gonna be the TV with eyes

Here's what the small text on the TV appears to say: "My sincerest apologies, I hope this clears that up. For more, look inside the spring! Remember to always hold your breath!" Not too sure about the spring sentence, but that's my best guess right now.

0:38 8 year old me in the public pool

am i the only one to thought this dude was the dad from opal??

the guy in the thumbnail: 👁👄👁💧

*when you're early and there's nobody to explain whats going on*

hey does anybody know how he managed to get the screaming underwater effect at the end? like the lips are moving that way which is already amazing claymation but the water bubbles look like they're moving in real time??? and on top of that the clay model is clearly underwater u can tell by the little air bubbles on the face. i'm like mind blown can anybody explain how he did it? (another amazing project btw jack great work💞)

The best part is the “ding ding ding ding”

Can we PLEASE get a full version of this song? Its too funky, I can't stop listening. My finger is broken from hitting replay

0:37 POV of someone getting shoved in a toilet.

0:35 almost looks like the cover to Finite Form

"Cindy, the TV's leaking!" 0:28

jacks music reminds me of the smell of rain, musty carpet, potato chips, heaven, and the 7th demention. it would probably sound like thunderstorms and br sinks with a hint of candy wrappers being opened. idk why thats just the vibes his creations give off

It's middle of the night and i'm trying to sleep: This video: hey Me: hey

I love how Jack’s videos start so happy and suddenly it can change into something dark real quick

Sick! It shows how famous people, TV shows or News see their viewers and control their emotions. That's why the phrase "And what we see Will show us what we don't know (Did I say don't? I mean you show us what we know)"

Serious Ariel pink vibes. LOVE it

0:33 Oh that's actually.. kinda nic- 0:37 ooOOH MY GOD WTF?!

No one: My dysphoria: *MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL*

oh my gosh! the water spilling out of the tv at the end... and the face screaming underwater! so well done!! everything you make is just such a treat... thank you for the wonderful content!

I rlly like his music bc like, its just so cool. You can interpret your own meaning to it, theorize about the meaning itself, or just vibe. Jacks music is just truly special

i love this work with art

Seeing jack's stuff always makes me wanna draw

This and "Those Eggs Aren't Dippy" have a strange resemblance to each other.

These videos can either be weird or wholesome like some of the 30 second ones. No imbetween

when you're so early that there's no one to explain the video

Theory: His TV was an aquarium this whole time. He stared at it so hard that it broke and there was so much water that everyone died. The end

I know he's dipped, don't know if he's coming back, again. But if its not pressuring, I'd love to hear a full version of this

0:18 the lyrics are "did I say don't I mean you show us what we know"

Jack Stauber Song: *Exsists* Meme Animators: _It's free real state_

I think the theory behind this is the song is straight up facts. A tv is small yet has so much control over our lives, and when we don’t control our own lives it feels like we are drowning. 🤷‍♀️

That 3D part really makes me wish Jack experimented more with low poly models.

your videos make me uncomfortable... but I love them
