Post credits scenes, amirite?
Real
Love 'em~
Was the video changing to the moon series on purpose lol
am I having a stroke
Bro you're capping this series ain't scary it's the most predictable milquetoast thing ever, the guy can animate but he can't make a story
The scariest part of this video is that someone broke into your house with the express purpose of vandalizing your dictionary
genuinely what was that about, i can't tell if that's a throwaway joke or not LOL
@theseusswore it was brought 4 times with him saying funny and scary became synonomus
Watch out for the serial dictionary vadalizer.
If that robot is made for reasoning, what part of that process requires human teeth?
so it can reason if it should bite you or not, of course!
teefies :3
Is part of communication, remember to smile :)
Cause otherwise it can't have those nightmares where your teeth fall out
I think the guy buildin it had an ideia of it to have like
A human esque skin on his face
BRO HAS THE SURVIVAL INSTINCT OF A PACKAGING PEANUT
Science isn't about why? Its about why not. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why don't you marry safe science so much. In fact, why not invent a special "safety door" that won't hit you on the butt on your way out, because You Are FIRED. Yes, you, box your stuff, out the front door, parking lot, car. Good bye.
@That_1_bean that was not the why not science..... dude learned and got absolute nothing from making the robot, after he saw his agression what stopted him from.... i dont know for exemple removing HIS FUCKING TEETH AND MAKING HIM SMALLER OR MORE HARMLESS, heck what the F was the point in making a robot like that, i agree with my guy up there survival instincts of a ameba, my point being if was to make a why not? go all in make the robot have claws and weapons if that was the point
@rickpenna06 Joke went over your head like 65% more of a bullet.
I mean you have to be a Dr Frankenstein moron to create a self aware and suffering machine.
@Zevox144 he definitely isn't getting any cake
Man literally pulled a checklist of "how to make a robot go insane speed run" and set a world record.
Any% glitchless
maybe he should have tested the AI first and not you know GIVE IT A BODY FIRST THING.
@Anaverageplant342how could you do it with glitches?
@Gui23m doing without glitches is actually was easier. You just program it insane. This man took the time to make it become insane. Absolute Chad behavior
At least Henry didn't give Elbarr hands.
I feel like that isn’t an inhibitance at this point
Wait how'd he pick people up with tennis ball hands?
@SpriteBunny808 just squeeze the hands between the thing ur grabbing
18:23 bro he's doing advanced wiring with tennis balls😭
@SpriteBunny808 the squeeze ur balls really hard
look, I’m a 40K fan, and I can tell you with confidence that any machine that needs to have a rhyme recited to it is bad news bears.
Im a 40K fan and I can tell you any advanced or aware AI is bad news
@Dopepoolbears
This is why we have all these floating human skulls, it's much safer.
@Dopepoolall the existing ai in 40k that survived are friendly to humanity and provide better quality of life than general imperium does
It worked for the maulerfiends it'll work for this too!
~the true mechanicum
I think the most impressive invention here is the fact that Elber is still able to walk and move at like 60 miles per hour while balancing on the equivalent of two chopsticks attached to tennis balls. Also the fact that elber can just teleport apparently
Don’t forget grab things without fingers and personally assemble the angel engine to achieve godlike slop powers
THIS. Man did wire splicing with tennis balls.
I have 9 fingers (DO NOT ASK) and I still have a hard time with that.
@sinjin8576 what?
@sinjin8576
Why do you only have 9 fingers?
@sinjin8576 me too.
That angel engine bit was more effort than angel engine even has put into it
That…
Is…
True…
And…
Funny…
I…
Will…
Give…
You…
A…
Like…
I don’t get it
@theparrishshow9803watch his angel engine video you’ll get it
@theparrishshow9803 The art for Angel Engine uses AI generated images because the author has no art skills of their own nor the money to hire an illustrator/animator, thus resorting to the use of dark arts.
@БруноБуччелати-н6б
Ah okay. Thanks for the context.
Maybe if SOMEONE was actually kind to the super dangerous and in-pain robot he wouldn't want to kill everyone
Real like the entire time I just felt bad for the robot like hell yeah kill all of humanity they deserve it
ikr?? why would you not install the limbs BEFORE giving them a sense of pain??? why even give them pain receptors in the first place?!
@dhampir_daysEXACLTYY a creature may do evil things but showing us how badly he was treated before the atrocities don’t do shit except make me side with the robot 💔💔
This and turning him off every time he says something concerning instead of working through it with him. God I love Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.
Bad news. Youre the guy at the bus stop who up to that point was the nicest person it had met.
You now have no flesh.
0:12 No, it's Edwin Murray. He made the Mimic. It was difficult to put the pieces together
But unfortunately, something went so wrong
@Ancientcomputer-14t and he can't do anything but sing this stupid song
@pezcao_sin_pieand now it’s time for him to run and hide because he has no time to fight..
elite ball knowledge
"I know that elber is going to wipe out the entirety of humanity anyways so might as well give him buzzsaws for arms and a grenade launcher stapled to his face"
And a Pepsi
@Anaverageplant342 and codes to the nuke
@Anaverageplant342 you know, in case he's thirsty.
unfortunately he likes coke.
why did the reasoning robot need legs strong enough to fbi kick a door down, what was this guy planning on doing with it
Why did a chess robot need an arm strong enough to break a human finger? (IRL event)
@kevingluys3063 art imitates life, life imitates art
“Ok there is the data center. They are making a lot of ai slop and is accelerating the downfall of humanity.
You know what to do”
World's greatest domme bot
@Anaverageplant342 (even doe ai is Gemmy)
“I do not yearn for warm embrace”
This thing is tearing off your face
It’s like poetry it rhymes
@Anaverageplant342 I've said it so many times
The inventor immediately begins making even worse decisions after being attacked, this is a clever reference to how head trauma can cause brain damage
Why does MANgineer keep making terrible choices revolving his constantly in pain sentient robod, is he stupid? How does this fit in the lore alongside the jonkler?
I'm dying this comment is just too funny to me😭
18:17 HOW IS HE PLUGGING THIS SHIT IN, HIS HANDS ARE TENNIS BALLS
He’s a smart ass robot, I think he knows how to plug in shit with tennis ball hands 😭
Let me introduce you to our friend : suspension of disbelief
@kitkatboard The springs are through the bonnet with how hard they're being tested.
Obviously he’s overclocking them. And he got a dictionary
You COULD theoretically do it with tennis ball hands, it would just take a lot of time and patience and precision.
I left this comment on another vid going over this series, but here goes: I fully agree that the protagonist has the survival instinct of a hamster, however, I personally like to think that he is a metaphor for the big tech and AI CEOs that continue to develop and push this type of technology. All in spite of said technology showing increasingly more and more signs of being a detriment to society and the entire world.
yeah, for me that's pretty realistic to the average tech bro
Gang just saying shit
@CameronShell-r2c he ain't wrong though.
That's an insult to hamsters! Tech bro protag has the self-preservation instincts of a goldfish.
You're not wrong
Not just ai, but so many things for the sake of greed and profit. We have finite resources and an economic system that treats the world as if its a rental and not the only planet we have
When youre really good at something, or really wealthy, you develop an ego that, no matter how hard reality slaps you, you co tinge to believe you are invicible and above it all
Hey i remember this!! You watched it on stream and me and others called it angel engine if it was peak
I also remember this, hope he continues it cuz shi is genuinely fun
@SomeoneYouKnow77 gotta keep it going at all cost so it can keep mogging angel engine
@SomeoneYouKnow77 I love how its basically just about Elber doing goofy hijinks while a content brained togolododite records it
@Spuddrawsstuff it's honestly realistic. I could see someone doing this irl
@th1rt3n_tn49New enemy for Content Warning?
That dude has some Hamster-Level wisdom. That thing already attacked you and ran off, and you don’t dismantle it? What?
Tbf, he only needed to remove the legs again. Something there was a massive breakthrough in reality and so figuring it out could result in insane value, despite the fact the robot attacks him he knows his robot works mechanically now which in of itself is a massive feat considering he’s walking on toothpicks and tennis balls.
15:44 the absolute balls of steel this guy has to say that to the literal demon in front of him
"Yeah, yeah, I see the threatening rhyme protocol is functional- anyway shut up and tell me what you did."
I'd question how he wired anything with tennis ball hands, but he clearly teleported out of that safe room, so he obviously runs on dark magic.
Apparently that electrocution opened up his chakras so he could perform a shadow teleportation ninjutsu.
Perhaps he vented
Funniest part is that the creator of the series made a garbage game and came back with a pretty good banger.
He took the criticism and ran with it
@Rothotnik kind of similar to how fnaf started if you think about it
Maybe that's a stretch tho
@NicholebarI think the comparison fits!
The game was better than Zoochosis at least.
@ShatteredKeysAndScreens zoochosis wasnt that bad
It had cool designs and honestly its failing made it better
There isnt youtube content farm slop of zoochosis now is there
I like the implication that ELBERR isn't actually evil but has been corrupted by another force. Weather it be a supernatural force or another artificial intelligence. ELBERR isn't inherently evil, he's just a pawn in someone else's game. A game that has humanity's fate hanging in the balance.
If you look closely at ELBERR's creators laptop you can see something changing ELBERR's code.
Dosen't change that ELBERR'S creator is the universes BIGGEST idiot. Ignoring clear warning signs.
*whether
@ahumanoidtroodon1074 I salute you
And elberr's voice changes once he is retrieved, no it has something more human under all the robotic noise
There is nothing mysthical happening. It would go against the message of the danger of making a self aware machine
Bro did NOT turn his firewall on
14:04 let me translate his reasoning: This shitty batteries hold almost no power compared to the amount of power he can steal from the last power supply since he was connected to the outlet and could save up a LOT of energy. So he isn't that stupid for trying this. EDIT: OK I forgot about THE CHAIR, I take it back he is a moron
This series is a word for word reenactment of what’s going to happen when CITRA’s custom made animatronic is finished
I stopped watching CITRA's content for a little bit and then came back to a 10ft robot skeleton!
VomitedThoughts just needs more child souls, but the government says it’s ILlEgaL
Which one? Adachi Rei or another one?
The one making a real spring lock suit or the one making Bon?
@user-BadUsername the one making bon i think
1:40 I stopped watching the moon woke up series right after they went through the wormhole. You’re telling me WHAT happens?!
We humans clap alien cheeks,the true horror is the new variety of STDs they bring to earth!
SAME what do you MEAN it went that way???
did anyone notice at 16:20 the dad in the photo seems to have a pic of grindr edited onto his phone, i thought it was gonna come up in the bit but it never did LOLLL
How smart can an AI be if it was able to hack its own power supply so hard that it became a battery but couldn't think to take the tennis balls off of its arms and legs? Or did it hack the rubber in the tennis balls to make them more durable?
The programmer seriously found Elberr offline, and went "well, even when he went absolutely nuts Elberr wasn't able to do anything without arms or legs. So instead of taking those off before reactivating him, I'm going to throw him into a room made of indestructible plywood and 2x4s and then give him the electric chair!"
Elberr finally opens his chakras to perform a shadow teleportation ninjutsu and the programmer says _"Not again"_ like THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE TELEPORTED OUT OF A ROOM WITH NO EXITS WITHOUT BREAKING ANYTHING!?
MY MAN, YOU DID NOT CREATE A SELF-AWARE ROBOT. YOU MADE A RELATIVELY DUMB ROBOT WITH IRL CHEAT CODES AND MADE SURE HE COULD KILL YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE INTO IT
The "not again" was THE FUNNIEST PART BY FAR, AT THAT POINT THIS GUY JUST WANTED TO SEE THE COOLEST WAY THE ROBOT COULD KILL HIM
The electric chair bit killed me tbh. Why did you see this sentient dangerous robot and go "hm. To the chair"
@local-little-guymight as well give him the lethal injection.
FOR FUCKS SAKES JUST MAKE THE ROBOT POSSESSED!ENOUGH WITH THE BAKI THE GRABBER ROBOTICS EDITION TM BULLSHIT
@local-little-guy apparently he wanted to see what would happen.
I'm...not sure what he EXPECTED to happen.
I feel maternal for this animatronic
I too feel maternal for this animatronic
I think it’s just the face and the way they move, they’re so silly
me too 😭in my head i know it's just a generic evil robot that wants to eradicate humanity but in my heart i want to believe that i could care for it and nurture it into a well-rounded loving & caring denizen of this planet
He reminds me of a deep sea creature
Nah, shut him off. Toss him in the recycling bin. Ain't no time for that robot apocalypse shit today.
If you have made Elber, he would have been a better person
11:55 the witch laughter just makes this souch more hysterical
The alternate universe where Frankenstein was a Five Nights at Freddy's fanfic
Fnafkenstein
Ngl this story has a lot of parallels to Frankenstein, with the unethical actions of the creator, the instant confusion of ELBERR and his new sentience, and the whole anchor sequence
Did Frankenstein creator made him recite prayer? 😰
and also the creator being a fucking dumbass
"surely I cannot tell anyone about the monster I made. SO I will remain silent and let this innocent woman be executed for crimes my creation committed."
Eh, sort of, but the reactions between the two characters (I'm talking about book Frankenstein here). After awakening his creation, Frankenstein instantly ran, barely even seeing it get up, while the ELBERR creating kept doing stuff in the face of it doing awful stuff. Honestly, you switch the two protagonists around, you'd get much happier endings in both stories: Frankenstein would have destroyed the clearly evil ELBERR before it got too far, and the ELBERR creator would have provided the much more confused Frankenstein's monster the care and attention that he needed in his formative period... at least before he started electrocuting him, but that's a different matter
19:23 TWOOOO!!!!
Crossoutthewordfunny
Super Mario Maker..
*TWOOO!!*
it’s impressive how this series makes me feel bad for elbarr even if he is kind of a huge liability to humanity. like he really wanted kindness from his creator, and when that clearly wasn’t going to happen, he went crazy- can’t really blame him for that, or for the fact that his robotic brain can’t really understand the nuances of his circumstance and thus made him hate all of humanity
Yeah. I think the idea of a robot that is terrified of being human and having emotions is more compelling, and I think it makes it feel more real. It doesn't just feel like a monster then, it feels like a person's mind in a cobbled body of wires and metal. And that would be horrifying for most people to wake up in. Asking where his skin is- that's genuinely kinda haunting. He has feelings and no one is treating him that way :(
Elbarr is my baby I love them
I'd say it takes away from the scariness if the main character is just a genuine idiot. Not even a horror movie type of stupid, just an inhuman lack of logic.
makes it a hell of a lot less realistic
@DetectiveKermit38 Yeah, I get giving him limbs and stuff if the creator's just oblivious due to pure curiosity, that's reasonable. But after the clanker escaped, I was just yelling at him to break the thing. A rogue creation type of story is only scary if the creation going rogue is unexpected or at least you can understand why the characters didn't expect it. If your robot's complaining about missing skin the moment you turn it on, maybe don't allow it to move
I found myself actually praying for Elberr to kill the dude.
Im terrified of how some people are actually that stupid
Absolutely no log checking after he goes bonkers, idk it would probably be good to do so
BUT SURELY IF I WELD THE FLAMETHROWERS TO HIS CROTCH THIS WILL FIX EVERTYHING!!!
This is like Frankenstein if Dr. Frankenstein had the survival instincts of a hamster.
18:51 I remember making a joke about the robot being strapped to the Angel Engine on your stream! I love the short you did about it! Also I hope your dictionary recovers from it's fatal loss of the word "funny."
21:05 this is clearly Faz goo, it’s even same colour.
I can't help but think of the series as a dark comedy with how the main character acts
3:43 -Coulda just gave him a teddy lil bro
MY DAY HAS BEEN COMPELTED
2:42 we don’t talk about her.
Must've been the wind 💔
Elber repeating a mantra while left alone is something they teach you in pain management. (Repetitive soothing behaviors to focus on). While the series isn’t exactly what seems like any kind of purposeful commentary on the body horror of chronic pain I would love to see that kind of story explored with a robot.
Also I kinda love Elber he’s oddly cute.
How in the hell is Enbarr doing all this w tennis ball hands...?
Bad writing
7:49 the most unsettling part of this is that the Creator didn’t say “you can’t leave you’re not allowed to” or something like that, instead he only stated that Elberr’s legs were his only limitations from leaving.
The best inventor in this series is clearly Henry's mom, I can't believe she managed to birth someone with a brain so smooth
1:46 it's been a while since we've had Anthony spontaneously reference the painter
Lights are off honestly deserves a shout-out for how long they've stuck to their style. I remember finding them years ago and it's honestly incredible thay they stuck with the same style and yet are able to do something interesting with it
12:58
Bro said "Watch me!" LMFAO- 😭
Scariest? Yeah it's scary how dumb the guy who made the robot is
3:03 flayed ones
Did anyone else think there could have been a supernatural aspect to this on top of the scientific aspect when seeing the first part? As it went on, I feel less like that could be the case, but what led me to believe that initially were two things E.L.B.E.R.R. said. The first was "I can't bear it any longer, in this place where gods build their ghosts." The second was "There are too many voices in the room."
It seemed there could have been human experiments going on there with multiple people losing their lives in that very room. The gods E.L.B.E.R.R. could have been talking about are the people like the scientist that might have used humans to create self-aware robots. E.L.B.E.R.R., not quite alive and not quite dead, may have been able to hear the spirits of those people that were experimented on.
The fact he later says "its quiet here" makes me think the spirits/ghosts its hearing are actually like wifi/electrical signals (which people built, same as him) between devices and Elberr can't distingush between that and people speaking.
@oshkeet I think that is the case after seeing the other parts.
I feel like Elberr is just referring to the workshop he was built in with his "god" being his creator and him being the "ghost", especially with the talk of having no god to pray too meaning his creator giving him no love and he doesn't understand why, sure there's probably some outside force aiding this buffoon build his sentient pain feeling robot, I doubt he'd be able to make it otherwise, probably adds some code when the guy's away and bro didn't notice anything was wrong because again he's an idiot
i might have a problem bc if i was in his place and that robot asked me for flesh i would be like yeah we'll get you your flesh bc i would assume its talking abt a shell (since im also assuming this is a closed ai and not connected to the internet) i suppose i would also not make a robot to suffer so
Yeah, like he does probably need some kind of covering for his wiring because otherwise it's like he's living with exposed nerves, like brother even if you DIDN'T code him to feel pain think about how inconvenient it would be to leave all of that sensitive hardware exposed to the elements. It's like he's raw dogging a pc build and can't even be bothered to put it in a cardboard box to try and prevent dust build-up.
Yeah if I was in this guy's shoes I would just simply not build a robot that could feel pain, was sentient, and can grow and learn from experiences while also treating it like dirt
if my robot asked me for skin id say "sure man let's go get some. just don't take mine okay but you can take that guys skin. let's go rob a mourge or smth and u can wear skin or whatever. Sorry for giving you the ability to feel pain I'll get on removing that 👍"
The fucking Angel Engine parody at the end is insane effort 😭
Getting frustrated with a project and ignoring warning signs that something is wrong with it is actually so relatable
ngl kind of digging this humorously self-aware wave of internet horror, so long as not every project becomes that
By my arbitrary eras I superimposed on this genre we are in the early stages of irony poisoning the 4th era to follow up
Analogue era (the one that feels the most like it fits the technology)
Illustration on my phone era
Edge edge edge era
@Anaverageplant342 god i hope not
Hey Albert can you get me that hard drive from under there?
Under where?
Haha i made you say underwear.
Albert:
17:20 okay so he JUST likes torturing robots. He CLEARLY enjoys this shit...
Getting strangled by some balls is so embarrassing
fnaf but purple guy was a college dropout
chappie if chappie wasn't fucking around
hey wait that kinda reminds me of Charlie’s robot head in The Twisted Ones
OH WHEN IT ALL WHEN IT ALL FALLS DOWN
10:21 getting to see it from an outside perspective is hilarious
Low key looks like a security breach jumpscare 😭
Why did he keep holding the phone 😭
Henry: "I appear to have invented a knife-wielding tentacle."
The textbook example of being so preoccupied with if you "could" but not stopping to ask if you "should" build an AI robot with the ability to feel pain, a god complex and a desire for flesh.
5:28-5:43
Hush little baby don't say a word and nevermind that noise you heard.
"AntthonyGallego built a self-aware robot, and things get weird. The creator documents the robot's construction and increasingly bizarre behavior, referencing FNAF lore. Prepare for unexpected turns and darkly humorous moments as the experiment spirals out of control." the RUclips AI summary seems to think You're the engineer. But... Is it right?
17:48 What do you mean "not again"?!
He allready escaped and threw bro to the wall
13:24
"Let's get him back home"
*i immediately get a retirement home ad*
Anthony, you owe us some answers, because what the fuck was that ending sequence???
22:35 to be fair to that guy, Zorong had 12 kids AND he was retiring tomorrow, there is no way the universe was letting him reach retirement 😭
I can't take the word "twin" seriously anymore without thinking about the meme captions. When he said "I will be your twin", I immediately chuckled abit.
8:22 the slight crash out
7:15 TAXI DRIVER REFERENCE
I hate that robot's face/ head so much. The creator really did a great job making him look horrible
I'm glad the "STEP TWOOOOOO" Joke is still running
11:55 that one gif of big bird kicking down the door
elberr jumpscare lowkey looks like minecraft enderman . just standing and shaking at u with an open mouth . too many video games installed to his brain clearly
10:07 ok but bars
13:41 hmm yes I was able to rewrite the code of this toaster and now I can use it as a vacuum cleaner
8:51 hey that is rude......a pencil has more self preservative instincts
Horrors beyond human comprehension. "Oh that's weird"
btw the hex code on the wall at 13:15 says:
I CAN SEE YOU
I like how Elberr clearly does things he needs hands for. He really should just have hands
I love how Anthony even mimics the ever iconic
step TWO
is this the mimic
17:56 If you listen very closely, you can actually hear the Instant Transmission sound effect play before E.L.B.E.R.R. enters the frame
The kinda contraption I make on Gmod while my friends randomly decide to fight with modded weapons instead of making their own to make a robot fight club
: 0:21 I love Freddie’s
But would you spend 5 nights at Freddie's?
20:20 it's age restricted :(
That video was how I found out that I didn’t make the cut for the stupid AI age detection that scans your viewing history🙄
18:37
How did he wire all those cabels together with tennis balls for hands? That would be nightmarish
11:40 NOPE DONT YOU DARE COMPARRE THIS TO THAT AI SLOP THAT WAS PROBBALY AI GENERATED COMPLETLEY
I love how Henry just ignored the blood on Elberrs hands
I do wonder if it would've been more compelling for the protag to not want to change much of Elber due to both a sense of sum cost, and realizing that he was sentient and didn't wanna end a life he created even if it was dangerous, or maybe how that would beresearched at least.
I think it would've been nice to explore in story.
It would've made his decisions equally dumb but understandable to an extent.
They make a big point about the robot not having hands, yet it still chokes people and picks things up
I love this one!
It's a animatronic series without FNAF elements!
Also, it took me a few seconds on the first video in the series to realize things were animated!
😂
me too, I showed it to my mom and she didn't believe me when I told her it was an animation at first lmfao
Hearing the protagonist's voice, it gets even funnier when you imagine the Angry Video Game Nerd
13:51 "I'm going to be more cautious moving forward" this surely ain't gonna backfire
3:42 never moved so fast in my life
One of the shorts versions of this video had "no ai was involved in the creation of this video" in the title or maybe it was a pinned comment
I responded with "no ai, my brother in christ the video is about making one"
Am i the only one liking the camera ambience sound used in anytime we are looking from the cameras
15:21 Okay he lowkey cooked 😼
