"But I hate the number 8!" Eighth Wonder: We all make mistakes in the heat of passion, Jimbo.

the fact that 12 years ago this was considered movie quality editing is pretty funny to think about

This feels like a 2008 youtube video pretending to be a 2000 youtube video in disguise as a 2020 video with hints that it's probably a 1980 show

the part where he says "ive been making songs since before some of you were born" is actually fuckibg terrifying because its been like 12 YEARS and there are now lemon demon fans who are younger than this video holy shit im gonna cry i was FOUR WHEN HE SAID THAT WHY HAS HE BEEN ON THE INTERNET FOR SO LONG

Oh my god I can pronounce his last name now

Dare I say it, the best haircut Neil's ever had.

"what the hell was that??" "i like that one:(" "you would, you WROTE it" "aw, thanks :)" for some reason makes me laugh every time

This trailer was ahead of it's time

I can't believe that in a few months this album will be 11 years old.

Knife Fight is going to be my favorite. I can feel it already. OH MY GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT AND LISTEN TO IT AND YAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111oneone

It's nice to revisit this and remember when I was a small 9 year old with a shitty computer from 2001 getting excited over the new album. To this day I think it's still my favourite album of the entire Lemon Demon discography. Not to say the others aren't good, but this one just has a particular vibe or feeling that has unrivaled charm. Also, I've always loved the ending instrumental. Never found it anywhere else though.

"Hi, I'1m Neil Ciciriega, I play with puppets, make their voices, and make movies and win KZfaq Awards. " lol

Only Neil could make me hyped for an album 14 years after its release!

I love the transitions in this album Also, KNIFE FIGHT YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR LIIIIEEIIFE

Thank you Neil Cicierega for inventing music

Can't believe Neil Cicierega had an object head OC

The fact that Neil had this level of editing in 2008 is really impressive! For 2008 this level of quality was unpresidented! Neil has always been ahead of his time but the fact that this was made in 2008 and feels like it could have been made yesterday is really saying something.

This is one of the best/most creative videos Neil has ever made and it deserves much more notice; not only because it was created for the good and/or just purpose of promoting Lemon Demon's finest album to date, but also because it reflects Neil's ever-growing ability to disseminate sounds/visuals to prove a point well-worth the audience's time.

The Ocean is still my favorite track

my god he looks younger than my 17-year-old brother

"And you can listen to it and YAAAAY!!" you're funny :D

"...Expect you know I'm also in a band called Bran Agreement and I make music?" I just realized how beautiful the transcribe audio feature is.

Your music is actually really good Neil - Very unique. It possesses the same enchanting / eerie feel that your videos always have. I think it shows that you are a film maker. Anyways , good luck with this - 'Being a rock star' sounds an awesome track

"I've been making music since before many of you were born" was probably said as a joke back then but is literally true now

The remaster is releasing soon. Im incredibly excited and this video honestly makes me excited for it too

ive memorized the first minute of this video for some reason? i can recite it all with the hand gestures, tone, everything

I love "The Ocean"!! It's a truly beautiful song... A MASTERPIECE!!!

Make a new one! Hate the number 9 like you hated the number 8! Please, your albums are all like musical cocaine.

i like how the view monster is basically just what the average hater of lemon demon was back then

3:50 Wow, that sounded like something out of "Gravity Falls"!

i got a view master, you aren't ready

The Machine is the best song of the album. and all songs are amazing!

Neil is honestly so underrated He invented a lot of things that had marked our lives

Lemon Demon will always be my favorite band. You're the greatest Neil!

Poor View Monster he lives such a tortured existence.... oh well, New album! Yaay!

"the repulsive number" this video was uploaded on july 18 2008 neil was born in august -> (8) 1986 view-monster was released on august 1 2008

"ive been making music since before many of you were born!" neil, you made this video before i was born

I just got view-monster in the mail 2 days ago. as well as dinosaurchestra! lovin it.

"it'll be shipped to u and u can listen to it and YAAYY!" XD

thank you neil cicierega for inventing the universe

who up viewing their monster

the view-monster is one of the most prolific object-heads in the whole object-head community

It's so strange seeing comments from over a decade ago and comments from a couple months ago all in the same place.

0:37 this clip is exactly why I credit neil for making weirdcore before weirdcore was a thing

happy birthday view-monster guy, ily view-monster guy!

Seeing all the comments from the past decade is lowkey terrifying and weird but truly beautiful in some way lol

"I've been making music before you were born" Damn

Little do the viewers know that the sound you make at the beginning isn't a joke, it's the actual sound you make when you drink. And it sickens each and every person who knows you.

AARON CARTER'S HERE WTF

15 years later and this album is still my favorite

view-monster my beloved

I'm so glad that view monster was made by Neil and not a real thing

THIS IS HOW YOU PROMOTE YOUR ALBUM MORTALS. Excellent and comedic trailers, that is how. This is legitimately my favorite Neil Vid. I watch this very often

i often forget how old these songs are, they just sound so good

The albums in order are: Lemon Demon: Dinosaurchestra Lemon Demon: Damn Skippy Lemon Demon: Hip to the Javabean Lemon Demon: Live at the Haunted Candle Shop Lemon Demon: Clown Circus Trapezoid: Dimes Aaron Carter: Aaron's Party (Come Get It) Trapezoid: Outsmart Not mentioned ones: Deporitaz (Trapezoid): Circa 2000 Trapezoid: Microwave this CD So, there were actually 10, but, Neil can do what he wants.

i like to think the lemon demon and the view monster are friends

That intro music kinda sounds like Spiral Of Ants a little

Niels acting skills are off the roof, idk how he does it so well and balance all artistic traits so well, I never get bored looking at him acting.

Just realized how the whole video and transitions simulate it actually being recorded on a view master, jeez

I bought this album a couple of weeks ago, along with "Damn Skippy" and "Hip to the Javabean". The whole album's great, but Knife Fight and Bill Watterson are my favorites.

I still remember when this video first came out. My sister had already gotten me into Potter Puppet Pals and Lemon Demon. I think I had Hip to the Java Bean, Damn Skippy, and Dinosaurchestra already. I pre-ordered View Monster and was super excited to get it. Took quite a while to arrive and it was an expensive CD, but worth every penny. I ADORED the album. Think it's still Neil's best work period, yes, even better than Spirit Phone. I have to go back and listen to it in full every now and then. The interstitial tracks really fill out the album and make it a unique experience; that they're heavily edited down on Spotify is a load of shit.

0:00 "Gulp Gulp Gulp Gulp" I agree.

“I-I liked that one!” “You would, you wrote it” “Aw, thanks”

This is possibly the best commercial spot for anything ever.

i refuse to beleive any of this mans work was made more than 3 years ago

Glug glug glug

The view monster guy was weirdcore before weirdcore

"It'll be shipped to you and you can listen to it and yaaaay!"

Omg. I have no idea how I ended up finding Neil and his group, but ive been bingeing the puppets and short videos and everything for the past 5 hours...instead of sleeping. crap. Lol. Anyway, because of the Satirist's Love Song, I'm buying that album!

I’m crying how is this a married man

this is unironically one of the best videos on youtube, i dont know why but it really is

i love this video

can't wait for August for this album to drop!

Finally know how to pronounce ur last name haha

When I first got into Lemon Demon, I decided to watch this video because I thought the thumbnail was cool, and whatcha know View-Monster ended up being my favorite album. :D

I like how its timed when he puts down the phone 2:31

i love view-monster!!! i've been listening to lots of your music, and by the time i went to listen to the album itself, i realized i had listened to the whole thing already lol

I never knew that I needed an abstract distorted music video for every song on this album

Actually, I first knew you as a musician. Ah, nostalgia... "Maaaybeee.....this was a baaad iiiiideaaaaa....ohhhhh nooo." :D

my view monster vinyl arrived today and i am surprised my mother hasn’t enrolled me into an insane asylum yet.

I love this man so much. He's so funny and creative and unique

I remember being 12 and getting excited over this album.

"that was track five, the man in stripes and glasses." "can i hear some more of it?" "no. it was terrible."

im just realizing now neil says "thats like, eight songs so far" meanwhile he only went over seven

happy 13th anniversary View-Monster, youre the best Lemon Demon album out there

0:19 8-ball approves

I hope everyone knows this is the genious who made The Ultimate Showdown song.

2:44 spinning crab spinning crab

View masters bring back memories. I had an elephant one that is so cute.

As someone who got into Lemon Demon pretty recently, it's incredibly surreal watching this and seeing how much things have changed

this video makes me feel many things

2:13 little did 2008 neil know his fanbase was gonna call that song homoerotic

I so can't wait :'D I'll roll in the hood with 'Knife Fight'! And I love how you always wake up fully dressed...

"Can I hear some more of it?" "No. It was terrible." damn

this is my favorite album, I listen to songs from this album every day. The number eight is my favorite number, I don't know why you don't like it... I love you, Neil.🤖❤️

i memorized this video help

There’s something really wholesome about this video that I find quite charming.

I'm going to be the first to pre order!
