I love the fact that he got so many diseases and injuries, but the one thing that killed him, was himself. It was only when his own willpower was broken, that he danced with the grim reaper.

Y'know, this animation really helps one to understand just how many injuries this man got during his life. Like we use "Rasputin" as an allegory for people who keep surviving despite life-threathening injuries, and yet here's Hemmingway collecting physical trauma like they're pokemon! Also that wide-smiling Randy at the end has to be one of the most adorable things you've ever drawn.

My favorite little bit was the “couple more car crashes” becoming a pileup and the “three more concussions” being three weights dropped on his head. Had a good laugh at those!

I wrote down the whole transcript of this, word for word, on my English Literature notebook in case I ever need to study this almost-immortal man for school.

Not only did you illustrate an already amazing story perfectly, but you added a load of comedic bits to it as well that make it even better. Fantastic work!

Seeing tiny Morgan when Barry Bee Benson appeared sent my sides to orbit.

Man this guy lived one hell of a life.

The Video Game Journalism dig did not go unnoticed. XD

One thing Randy left out: Ernest used the same shotgun his father used to commit suicide. And soon after his granddaughter would use the same gun to do the same thing.

For those of you who want to recite this: You’re welcome. Born in Chicago in 1899, son of a physician and a musician, reasonably uneventful childhood, decided to study Journalism. Enlisted with the Red Cross during World War I, got BLOWN up in Milan and spent 6 months in hospital with severe shrapnel wounds in both legs. Fell in love with a nurse, they decided to get married. He came home to prepare, she stayed there and ditched him for an Italian soldier, which initiated a life long pattern of him rejecting women before they had a chance to reject him. Got a job as a foreign correspondent, fell in love with his roommates' sister, married her and moved to Paris. They hung out with Gertrude Stein. They kicked it with Pablo Picasso. He started writing in earnest, no pun intended. Moved to Toronto, had a kid, moved back to Paris, published a couple of books. Cheated on his wife, got divorced, married the other woman. Converted to Catholicism... Cut his head open after pulling on a cord thinking he was flushing a toilet and instead ripped a skylight from the roof and smashed it onto HIS FACE! Moved to Kansas City, had another kid, his dad committed suicide, he shot a lot of bears for some reason. Had a car accident, had another kid, went to Africa to kill some wild animals and got dysentery karma! Published another book, moved to Cuba, SHOT HIMSELF IN THE LEG WHILST AIMING AT A SHARK! Cheated on his wife, got divorced, married the other woman. Published "For Whom the Bell Tolls," sold half a million copies in a couple of months and got nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Cheated on his wife, got divorced, married the other woman. Became the self appointed leader of a band of village Militia outside of Paris and was subsequently brought up on charges for contravening the Geneva Convention, and GOT AWAY WITH IT LIKE A FUCKING CHAMPION! Got pneumonia, moved back to Cuba and spent most of his spare time on his boat _tracking Nazi U-boats with a machine gun and a pile of hand grenades I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP!_ Had a few more car accidents, three more concussions, got CLAWED WHILE PLAYING WITH A LION... Got depressed, drank. Got fat, published a couple more books, went back to Africa to shoot some more wild animals, and barely survived two separate plane crashes in the space of 24 hours, winding up with a fractured skull, internal bleeding, cracked spine, ruptured liver, first degree burns, and a paralyzed sphincter muscle karma! Won a Nobel Prize, had a file opened on him by J. Edgar Hoover, left a bunch of shit in a safe in Cuba and moved to Idaho, paranoid that the feds were following him which they were BECAUSE HE SPENT MOST OF THE 1940S WORKING FOR THE KGB, AGAIN _NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP!_ Suffered from hepatitis, nephritis, hypertension, hemochromatosis, anemia and impotence, karma. Got committed, received way too much electroconvulsive therapy and came out all fucked up, started hinting at suicide so immediately got recommitted, received another couple of months worth of electroconvulsive therapy, got released, put both barrels of his favorite 12-gauge shotgun into his mouth and BLEW HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF! _WHAT A GUY!_

This is great, man. I wonder if one day you can animate the entire Randy Writes A Novel special.

I love Randy’s storytelling but it’s a lot in the span of 3 minutes. I’m glad this all was literally drawn out now so I can follow it better in real time

I can just imagine death him self is just in the background and is like so annoyed on why the hell this fucking guy still alive by the end of it is just disappointed that despite surviving all that bullshit commits suicide Just Him whistling angrily like seriously that’s how we end it

I thought it was gonna do 1 frame of a bloody explosion and Randy’s face to show where his head was in the 2nd and so on frames.

0:48 Ah I see you are a fellow Scott Pilgrim Enjoyer

I bought KZfaq premium awhile ago to deal with ads and I downloaded your Gumtree animation just to have it when I don't have internet. This one's getting downloaded too bud, aces on it.

2:18 this is what I pictured Ernest Hemingway to look like before I found out what he actually looks like.

YEEEEES this is what I subbed for! Okay, imma rewatch this and note down all the little things I like 0:01 The orchestral intro is really fitting for this long-awaited masterpiece. 0:17 I've never seen an animatic with the subtitles being part of the drawing. They have so much character, too! 0:21 Love that you've even done your own resaerch on Hemingway's life XD 0:24 If you wanna be famous, become a gamer. If you're bad at games, opt for journalism 0:27 The "BLOWN UP" bit is so funny to me 0:39 The "ditched him" text looks like a monster in a horror movie 0:40 Morgan will get his revenge... 0:45 Morgan just scribbling and playing Tic-tac-toe on his self-guide to dating 0:47 You included all the details about Matt's life! 0:52 Her T-shirt literally says "I'm the sister of a guy whose roomate will become famous one day... maybe" 0:58 Omg the K in kicking is kicking a ball. Genious 1:11 Ernest is looking real snazzy in those clothes 1:12 Because I love looking into small details :) 1:26 YT thinks "aliven't" would be a better word 1:28 Poor bears :( 1:40 This entire scene is golden XD. The shark eating salt (as they do in the mint-blue water). The bullet being reflected with a mirror. The leg bone being in a very... scary position for a bone. 2:02 He just looks so proud of what he's accomplished 2:06 Is the judge an angry puppet with a hammer sticking out at the end ofhis arm? If so, brilliant 2:19 Hemingway is gone now. Bandana-Hemingway is here. 2:27 Love the timing, the words being inside the cars. Just love it 2:29 Oh look, Randy's here! XD 2:20 The cast on his arm could have been signed either by his mother, or by a friend who does too many "yo mama" jokes 2:46 Goodness, the guy hasn't even put out the flames yet! 2:52 I now know what a Sphincter muscle is. Thanks 2:59 Those files were very funny 3:10 Noone ever asks "How is life", or "How is anything?" 3:21 Okay, I actually feel really bad for him now 3:35 It's finally over.... Or is it? **Vsauce music plays** 3:37 I love the little "fwing" near the book. It wasn't necessary, nor was going to be seen by many, but you put it there anyway. I LOOOVE these little details! 3:39 No, thank YOU for this! This is the best part of my evening :D

I now want to see Ernest Hemingway on Epic Rap Battles of History Who’s with me?

That “s” in Ernest took me right back 😂

Now see, THIS is the type of guy we should ALL aspire to be! Well, I mean, minus the whole sewer slide bit, but y’know.

the original gumtree bookshelf compilation is leagues more coherent and readable than any set of shapes i could try n put to paper (drawing application i guess in this case?), and this is an improvement by like multiple orders of magnitude. such a fuckin treat to look at with my human eyeballs

These have got to be the best animatics I’ve ever seen. New sub

In our country we have "Maturita" which is an exam you need to take after high school if you want to go to college. I have this exam in 3 days and one part of it is literature. Hope this video helps me with my preparation :D

The drawing when randy says "what a guy!!" Is just too funny to me lol this was really cleverly done. I love this comedy special too, good choice on a segment to attempt to draw.

The wait, was infinitely worth it

0:46 Solid Scott Pilgrim reference fella

Also lived in Key West for a couple of years. Forget to mention that. And he wrote a play while Madrid was under siege in the Spanish Civil War. Forget to mention that, too. I've been to his house on Whitehead Street.

Oh i love every single one of your animatics!

This was awesome! It was worth the wait.

Awesome. I thought I wasn't going to like it because I enjoyed the original so much. What could you possibly add, eh? A LOT. You added A LOT to my enjoyment - like a champion!

LOVED IT, Great work, Can't wait to see whats next!!!

That’s a great adaptation for this story. Well done good work on it!

Totally worth the wait dude!

I absolutely loved everything about this animatic, its amazing!! Keep up the good work!!! 👍

I love it when people animate stuff like this. Good work mate!

Took a while but it was definitely worth waiting for. Awesome job! Loved it!

I fucking adore this skit in particular, and your drawings for it are top-notch. Not only are they illustrative, but you really capture the frenetic SPIRIT of the entire thing through them. Very well done!

0:46 "Why are you reading this?" Because you took the time to write it!

Worth the wait

This is true art, love it!

“That is all true! What a [bleep] unit!”

The additional info on the "reasonably uneventful childhood" really adds the sprinkles to the cake.

Hahaha haha, randy looked so happy about the whole blew his ducking head of situation in this animation. WHAT A GUY

Love the work that went into this, even the words have little jokes tied into them, I love it! Though small quesion, is it just me or does it seem like theire is an audio shift that happens at GO and then shifts back midway through the vid after the bit with the shark?

I love these drawings.

IT IS HERE!!!!

The OG Floridaman - a man so fucked up that the only thing that could kill him was himself xD

HOLY SHIT YES

What a guy

If you ever need some more Aussie comedic material (I say for myself), there's the Chaser's war on everything, Mad as H-ll, and Clarke and Dawe. A lot of it's local politics though and might not make sense for an international audience, but there are lots of funny highlights.

This story makes me thing Electro Compulsive therapy doesn't work.

Talk about a wild life 😅

this is so well done. i needed this thank you

damn it's so awesome I'm sharing this with my sister

You are the BEST

1:13 feel a bit meat(L)y

He was THE Florida man

YES! YES! YES!

That shark is having none of it and I love him

He was rejected by the nurse when he was between 15-19, so yeah that would color your ideals of love pretty hard.

We ALL know Hemmingway's personality was a first draft

i just noticed the "made you look" at 1:59

That was great

I thought he was saying coma not karma but they sound very similar

That was fucking epic! Well worth the wait! So what's next for animating Randy Feltface?

Lmao the best intro ever

Well at least he never ate blue

Here’s an idea for the next Randy video My Uncle Got me into Comedy

This frame is both creepy and cute somehow 3:38

immortal, until he chose not to

The universe couldn’t kill him so he had to do it himself

1:40 smile you son of a...(bang) oww

I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP!!!

You are cool ! Can you do Theodore Roosevelt in 3 minutes ?

"He shot a lot of bears, for some reason." Considering what Randy said about sharks that eat people, this isn't a shocking comment.

he did it

WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Decided to come back and say this... This whole skit gave me an answer to a Fibbage question. Who would have thought watching comedy would be useful for storing useless obscure crap?

0:39 Morgan traveled back kn time to kill Barry's grandpa, That's why he was never seen again

GOD DAAAAMN! lmfao that dude was fkn HARDCORE!

Loved. this. One suggestion. When you reuse frames make sure your spelling is correct. "Oter" woman- either add the"h" for "Other" woman or add an extra "t" for "Otter" woman and leave us all baffled but still laughing.

WHAT A GUY!!!!!!!!

YEEEES

I'd watch this movie if it was told by Randy and animated in this style.

i see who valve based the entire lore of tf2 on

Well done 😂

The ULTIMATE Florida man!

I will study for my exam from this video It's so funny😆✨️ Thx bro🌚✨️✨️

WHAT A GUY

Bro's life was a movie 💀

Cheated on his wife Got divorced Married the other woman

Whys he keep saying karma i always never realized why

Some people boohoo over a broken toe . What the hell was with this guy ,Stay home!😂

At last

How the fuck did he survive for so long?

Of course youtube don't want people saying suicide

Had a file opened by Hoover? So a man who was terrible to women in his life was investigated by a man who liked wearing women's clothes. I can't tell if that's appropriate, irony or appropriate irony.

What is it with you and Barry bee benson?

Can’t wait for Lin Manuel Miranda makes a rap musical about this mf
