Round 3: GSM vs ThatDudeOverThere

Larlar

GSM
Lyrics:

Spoiler:

There was a dude like you and me.
Look over there and you will surely see
that he was happy as a king
except for one peculiar thing.

He had a clock that worked all right
it worked all right but not exactly quite
instead of going "tick" and "tock"
the crazy clock went "HI, TDOT!"

The poor old man just raved and raved because nobody could say
why his silly clock behaved that hicory dickory way.

Then one day he lost his cool
"This clock," said he "needs to obey my rule"
"There must be thirty ticks per tock,
or I'll just buy another clock."

The clock took great offense at this
and said "okay, I'll grant your stupid wish.
If you think there are ticks I've missed,
then I'll wear you upon my wrist!"

Spoiler:

Yes, hickory is misspelled IT IS UP TO YOU TO DISCOVER WHY

Okay, long story short on these: I had originally planned to get some folks to make some small, simple, stupid doodles that I could throw in as a "guest artist" sequence or maybe part of a video or somesuch but they all turned out to not only be better than I expected, but often better than the stuff I actually made. I can't submit them as part of my entry now (not in good conscience, anyway) but it would be a major dick move of me not to share these things people made for me, so here they are:

SolidBones: 1, 2, 3, 4

Squall: 1, 2, 3

Sal: 1, 2, 3, 4

NSFW Ruby Rhod sent me his butt. No joke. This is an actual butt. You have been warned. NSFW

Huge thanks and hugs to everyone who sent me something, and even the folks who at least offered to but didn't, and especially to solidbones for giving me the idea in the first place and literally spending her entire life putting up with my stupid bullshit.

GSM

Here we go again.

edit: Credit where credit is due. The song was sung by my good friend Stephen. He is a terrific singer.

double edit:
Who wants to take a look at my storyboarding and design sketches? You probably don't, but here they are:

NeoToma

ThatDudeOverThere

oh my goodness

GSM you have such a great voice

edit: okay your friend does

Kochikens

omg GSM that was adorable and horrible

Larlar

I've currently assembled a team of misfit scientists to determine why hickory is misspelled. We'll have the answer in about 1.5 to 2.5 hours* after overcoming funding woes and a primary one-dimensional antagonist.

*not counting previews and motivational montages in real time

Campion

Nogs

In the style of tdot's comics:

"Tdot's clock-hand-glasses look like the letter L.
FOR LOSER."

honestly when I join these battles winning is a secondary goal to having people make cool shit to fight me with

Macera

Voted for TDOT, because it's like a bunch of scrappy underdogs coming together to beat a smug flash master

Not that GSM is smug, but that's how it plays out in my head

Ten

I had to vote GSM because I love a well done song entry

But TDOT's was pretty great even before he got a million people to do extra shit for him

Synthetic Orange

laffo TDOT's youtube entries got reported and banned

Rolo

Voted TDOT because the comics and guest art made me laugh a lot.

EVEN THOUGH HE'S BEATEN ME TWICE

IN A ROW

THAT FAT CLOCKY BASTARD

Romanian My Escutcheon

TDOT.

Because copyright infringement is sexy.

Butler

TDOT for UNCE UNCE UNCE

Sal

I love TDOT's Dinosaur Comics parody

so so much

Crashmo

All of TDOT's entry combined is like the Mighty Ducks...in the first half of the movie.

alt post: Keep swinging, TDOT, maybe you'll give him a cold!

(This post turned out mean I'm sorry D:)

DisruptedCapitalist

I voted GSM because I liked how he showed us the "behind the scenes" storyboards.

Hahaha, man I liked both of these. GSM, you seem to make ridiculously good videos.

Man TDOT, I had an outpouring of ideas last night that I wish I had thought of earlier. Could have turned my butt into an epic tale! Now who to vote for: GSM or my butt?

ThatDudeOverThere

well strictly speaking your butt isn't actually part of my entry

I just didn't want to be a douche and not share the wonderful things people had sent me

ThatDudeOverThere

hey GSM is that song completely original or is it based on something?

FAQ

I voted GSM

Squall

I voted TDOT for making me laugh

I still liked GSM's approach and his animation was stellar

End

I didn't want to jinx TDOT, so I voted for GSM.

Also I liked GSM's entry better.

I know, I was just kidding. Of course by butt would win, but that wouldn't be a fair fight.

It's "The Syncopated Clock" by Leroy Anderson. The recording was trimmed down a bit and time compressed to feel less sluggish. The first verse's lyrics were by Mitchell Parish (with heavy modifications, of course) and the second verse is entirely original.

My goal with this entry was to make something referencing the style of late 40s/eary 50s UPA cartoons (hence the modified UPA logo at the beginning)
