Damn not only the animation is awesome but also tthe backstory!

Bruh he legit went like: *You are not a clown. You are the entire circus.*

1:04 THE DEAD FLOWER DETAIL

The bandages on the middle of his forehead are such a good detail. I didn't even notice them at first, but once you realize why they're there, it just perfect characterization.

THE COLORS- THE FLOW- THAT WAS SO GOOD WHAT

This is literally the sentence: "you're not a clown, you're the entire circus"

I love how instead of killing him for revenge the clown just puts him in jail. like even if this man murdered him for some kind of money reason he still abides by the law and instead of killing him he puts him in jail. beautiful

Am I like the only one who is literally obsessed with this animation and watches it again and again?

Theory: The clown is actually his guilt made into a person, it’s just a hallucination. In this whole animation he’s beating himself up for doing horrible things

This is SO sick!!! 🤡🤡🤡

There are two types of clowns 1. spinning around in circles until my little feet fall off - spellcasting 2. THIS (ngl this is amazing i love this sm)

I’m just honored to say the creator of the animation is my friend irl, and I’m proud of how much work was put into this animation. 👏👏👏 Super proud

0:20 *T-poses with malicious intent*

Finally, a KFC VS McDonalds animation.

THIS is art He doesn't kill his friend because he is not like him, there is a 100% bad and 100% good, that's why I've been watching the animation for 4 times a day minimum

After a few years I came back to watch this, still very cool! I appreciate that he locks his ‘friend’ up instead of killing him

Redhead is so pure even as an undead clown back for revenge. Like, “haha, remember me, the best friend that you murdered? Well I’m going to PUT YOU IN JAIL BECAUSE I ABIDE BY THE LAW”

Smacks video: this baby can hold SO much back story in under 2 minutes!

This animation is amazing! Paired with fitting music, smooth and enticing animations, and incredible story that draw the viewer in. Now to rewatch it for a 3rd and 4th time

The plot in this animatic is just amazing. The characters are wonderfully designed. This is the e best animatic I’ve ever seen. Greta work

“I may be the clown here, but you’re the whole circus!” Edit: I genuinely forgot this was my comment and my dumbass went “lmao that funny” Anyways I can’t stop watching this I think I may have a problem

I love how the white haired guy just feels so small even though he is very tall and in contrast the clown feels like such a domineering presence even with his short stature.

Wow... This is frickin amazing! Everything from the animation, the characters, and the ability to tell a complete story in a minute and 23 seconds. I love this. Also, you did something not very many people can do. You made a clown look way better than a regular person.

STAWPPPPPPP HES ADORABLE. I LOVE CLOWNS SM THIS IS LITERALLY GODLY.

The way the clown waves his hand over his face to change expressions with the beat was awesome

Sooo epic 💛

Even a year later, this meme is still on my list of favorite videos.

I adore this no matter how many times i watch it, it's just so fun and a big inspiration to me

Omg this so amazing At Lojart so much love for you for making this 😊

I just...I just cannot stop rewatching this. sometimes I like the colour sometimes I like the plot sometimes I like the pacing sometimes I like the animation itself sometimes I like the art style sometimes I like the character designs right now...I love _every single goddamn thing about it_

the art is so CLEAN AHH. Also the storytelling is amazing (chefs kiss)

i could never think of such amazing designs tbh, you're talented!!

This keeps popping in my recommendation and every time I go “lol sure why not”

Moral of the story: Don’t kill a dude you know cus they’ll turn into a clown and throw you in jail or something.

Dude I have seen this video over 100 times because of how good this is

The clown actually looks kind of cute.And love the animation.

Fun fact: I have no idea why I genuinely want to see them as a team.

Nobody’s gonna talk about the clown casually T-posing in the ceiling??

Это настоящая НОСтальгия.) Помню как по-много раз смотрела, пересматривала, засматривала этот мем❣️

Kudos to this person! the art, the characters, everything about this is perfect.

i love how the clown have a reason of why he's doing this and a backstory

I find it interesting that the Clown has rounded corners and the man has pointed ones, which line up with the fact that the man is the only one who hurt anyone and the clown was rather merciful in comparison (points and triangles are usually associated with danger and rounded designs are seen as friendly)

The art style. The characters. The animation. The colors. EVERYTHING Omg

i love how fluid the movements are good job!

Wow that clowns a nice guy. Gave him a free makeover and everything.

I really like how for James you used pointy and straight lineart, and for Miles you used more round curvy lineart. It really helps their design stand out even more from eachother and just another part that makes this fun to watch! 🤡

When I clicked on this half asleep I thought this was McDonald's vs Burger King

I can't be the only one obsessed and visting this routinely and also hungry for the lore! Like I just gotta know the actual story! What is exactly the jesters dirty deals? What is the relationship between them ? Give me them juicy deets! I'm so hooked, what incredible world building insuch a short form wow !

Artists doing animation memes of unpopular songs be like: "I'mma start this mans whole career"

you're *so good* at the rule "show, don't tell."

this is truly an absolute masterpiece i absolutely adore the characters and colour palette

ive watched this five times and still love it, it's so smooth and colorful

The art is absolutely gorgeous and the animation, *chef’s kiss* Flawless.

Rich man: NOOoOooO you can’t kill me I’m still trying to get rich off other people Clown: haha hammer go brrr

James was probably a spy or an assassin. Since on the piece of paper that James' friend was holding in the flashback, it was visible crossed out, as if there was a photo of the person he killed. A friend found his papers and saw that he was either a spy or an assassin. James had to kill him, or they would have killed him. And the clown is a symbol of his guilt, well, or he just went crazy. but this is unlikely. I'm more surprised that James didn't resist. The clown dressed him up and threw him in jail. But James didn't even say a word to him, apparently he was aware of his guilt. I still think James was a spy and he needed to do it. 1:18 this is probably the moment when he confesses to the world that he killed him. There's a lattice of eyes, it means everyone is looking at him. There is a loud trial at the end of which he finds himself behind bars. And in the end, the balloon bursts, as his guilt bursts and disappears.

I didn't realize I'd get this invested in a 1 minute 40 second video- good job

“I may be the clown but you're the Jester and that makes you the punchline.”

0:48 THE HANDS ARE SO GOOD OMG

this will for ever be one of my favorite videos on youtube

I personally love the way clowns are portrayed in shows and stuff, because they're always very fun and interesting characters

I love how he has bandaids over the bullet wound.

This is like a whole tv show's worth of plot in less than 2 minutes.

OOMG THIS IS SO GOOD! A while ago I would watch this on repeat over and over but then I lost the vid. Happy I found it! I saved and liked the vid this time.

i usually don't comment on youtube videos but i've been watching this for 1 week straight every morning because i like the animation so much and i also just wanted to talk about how much this motivates me to draw

wtf i cant stop whatching this why are the characters, expressions, colors, animations and everything so perfect

"the world is a stage, and the stage is a world of entertainment"

Help I can’t stop watching this video

I clicked this expecting some snazzily-animated little snippet of a catchy song (and hey, I Absolutely got that and it's Great, love the Color palette n art direction in general!) but I didn't expect a whole STORY packed into such a short snippet, and so well conveyed with just visuals??? Great work dude!

I feel like he's specifically a clown because the guy in white made a fool out of him or made him feel like a clown. So once he came back from the dead he made him feel like a fool via humiliation and literally dress up- then at the end he had to look at his sad reflection in the balloon before having it pop- That would be the last time he saw his face too goddamn edit: OSNWJDO WHAT TYSM FOR THE LIKES IVE NEVER GOT MORE THAN 5 😭💀

They always ask "What's Updog?" but never "How's updog?" :,(

The dude just sits there and accepts his fate. Sorta respectable in a way

this keeps coming up in my recommended and I KEEP WATCHING IT. over and over

How I see this: The white haired dude betrayed his companion in their business plan, and he probably became corrupt and made a scheme out of everything, excluding the friend. The friend finds the files, and confronts the protagonist; because of the corruption and greed, the white haired dude shoots his colleague. As the years go by, he starts seeing him and feels guilt and judgement. The illusions of his seeing his old friend lead to the white-haired dude turning himself in.

I like how Miles’ eyes gradually appear because it’s to show how J doesn’t really think too much of a friend but the more the memory of him killing him brings up, it’s to show the eyes of his victim.

It's just so good I can't help but watching it over and over and over again

2 years old, yet a masterpeice

The Fact that the "rich man" doesn't do anything to fight back the clown aka his old pal seems to kinda shows his guilty feelings and his acceptance to what comes next towards him. Edit: thanks for 1k likes guys!

Did anyone notice the design choices? (S)Miles design is round and curvy, even his shoes,hair and eyes. While JJames is pointy and sorta like triangles. JJames costume is mostly white while (S)Miles is mostly read. Heck even their noses are different. The animator did so great with the designs and I love how they made them different but alike at the same time. Good job! Edit: And I just noticed that their heads are different too!? This is getting better and better.

I love how Ghost before attaking prepare a perfect dance or dialogue or idk before they attack so its more creepy. Its art

I just wanna say you single handled inspired one of my favorite OCs thanks!

At Lojart: THIS IS AN ORIGINAL MEME! Animators: ahem ahem, let me introduce myself-

Not enough people realize just how fucking amazing the scene at 1:11 is. Deadass a prime example of premium directorship.

I love your art style! It's so smooth!

Your character design and art is always OTHERWORLDLY

Clowns name: *Miles* White haired guy: *JJames*

Pretty sure that 80% of these views are from me rewatching this over and over bc im obsessed with it. /j

So happy updog has been getting so popular lately! I found them a few years ago from their song hurt, haven't really listened to any of their other stuff but everytime I see a meme with one of their songs I'm like "that updog??? No way, there's so many of these now!" :33 Edit: okayyyy haha this was uploaded a year ago 💀💀 maybe yt is just now showing me these vids

That clowns design has an amazing design good job :D

I would love to see more of this story line! The characters colour palette fit so well to the theme making it pleasing to the eye and the characters themselves are just brilliant. The plot is very interesting to look into and the animation is smooth and well made. I loved the video, keep up the good work!

Most People: Shut up and enjoy this animation Other People: You can draw better then me Me: The fact that the clown survived with 2 band aids is amazing 👁️👄👁️

the clown at the end looks so cute🥲

0:25 THE BEST PART OF THE SONG THE BEST PART OF THE ANIMATION :D

The clown was just chilling on the ceiling

Nobody: The clown on the ceiling: Hiya buddy! Remember me?😁

I'm rewatching it for the fifth time already.. THIS IS WONDERFUL!!

I feel like this is kfc man and mcdonald's fighting who has better food E-

I cant believe Colonel Sanders would shoot his friend like that 😞

this guy could easily make a whole tv series

Story is fun and interesting, story telling is easy to understand, animation is smooth and pleasing in an aesthetic way. I would definitely watch a series created by you.
