I had so much fun composing the music for this animation! Thanks again so much for having me on board, Bridgette!
thank you too!! it wouldnt be the same without it haha. check out robbys channel, he's got some bangers over there :v)
love the usage of in the end notes when he presents the linkin park tickets
@@RunnJake for real, that was a really nice touch
It was almost as good as my line delivery!
@@RunnJake Yes, I was chilling feeling those toy-story vibes.. Then I read "Linkin Park" and I start to mumble the same song in my head... AndTHENtheDARNGsONgStAARTsPLAYING
The ending makes more sense when you realize that he didn’t even plan anything for the anniversary.
Omg you're right! He probably didn't even call
Exactly. I was confused why she showed up to his house upset. But it was 4 pm on their anniversary and he was Photoshop pictures of himself shirtless for other women 😂😂
Who cares about anniversaries? The ending was cruel.
@@okay_olha the anniversary things matter because it's a sign that the ending was going to be rude and cruel. He didn't actually care about her enough to plan anything for their anniversary, so when he realised she wasn't perfect he didn't care about her anymore
@@cassdraws06 if you put it that way maybe he never cared about her at all, he only cared about not feeling cut off from the adolescent romantic experience, therefore starting a relationship not based on the need to love and be loved but on the need to be part of that elite of people who carry the status of "boyfriend" or "girlfriend"
I could go on and talk about the moral of this but you and I have probably already read double what the author actually intended, which was a five-minute bullshit comedy story.
He didn't want love, he wanted a girlfriend. Mans gonna be lonely even if he manages to find someone that likes him.
Maybe he did want a girlfriend. But think about it this way: he even despises HUMSELF for being ugly. Why would he suddenly refuse to judge his gf on the base of looks?
Just a thought I beed to check btw, nothing nore :)
Pretty much. Especially since the only reason the gf went to his place was because he forget their anniversary, not to mention that he only asked her out in the first place because she was pretty.
"male loneliness epidemic" in a nutshell
@@paulamarina04this comment pretty much sums up the amount of empathy people have for mens problems. But no when a woman has a problem everyone rushes to her aid
@@snsnshhhs663 isnt the "mens problems" in question just "getting no bitches" tho
Gotta love the accuracy here, its obvious she was trying hard and invested in him as a person by how happy she was that they had a chance to be vulnerable together. Then he proved why he was single. Plus you see him photoshopping whats obviously a dating profile picture while she's excited about their anniversary, I love all the little details.
The kid did the "Bully Maguire" dance when he wore the hoodie for the first time. That should've been a red flag.
At 0:59 he also has a “Regular American” poster in his room of some dude in a suit holding a knife. It’s a parody of American Psycho… he idolises Patrick Bateman too??? 😭😭
Bros a true sigma 🤑🗿🐺
@@prettyrat. the red flags were there. he also has a collection of anime figurines and girls. not as bad as the others but its still not very good.
@@irainrocks Technically, they were keychains.
He’s an alpha male dude
the girl was genuinely prettier than her "girlfriend material" version
Honestly
Well in a way I'd say so was the guy, after he took shower though.
In a way the flaws a person has in their looks, thougfhmainly ones they can't really control can actually be more appealing than the generally considered attractiveness.
In the same both have things that aren't generally appelaing.
Boy has meh facial hair and wears glasses.
Girl is chubby and freckles.
Even though those things aren't iherntly bad in much of a way, I believe of part of it is despite the flaws the person continues on, they add varity.
SInc you don't need a six pack you just need to be strong, you need perfectly groomed facial hair, you just need clean hair.
Glasses are what you make of it.
Freckles, I don't even like those thing are one cutests aspects of the skin, like Black people with ther varition of brown, they make the perosn a different kind beautiful.
So flaws or things aren't actually flaws and more so just a different thing can be eandering because they're unique.
I mean even for understandable things like the girls' chubbyness expressing a lack of care for personal health isn't that bad, like sure she defintly isn't keeping track of her calories however is isn't enough to be ashamed over or really ashamed that much, just work on it and be better because Healthyness gives more ability to control your actions.
I personally are into chubbyness and its appeal its is warmness, that is kinda why isn't that bad, aslong you ain't obese or more accurately you can actually enjoy moving, there isn't a problem.
Flaws or extra aspects out of the norm add varity that gives a character or a person a certain appeal, as not everything in the norm is good for a good reason.
Still personally i feel the flaws should've been extended further with the character designs, like for girl she'd have a condition where some of her teeth are missing, boy's small blindness is enough actually, these are things that actually do affect the person and can be made to make them seem ugly.
Well the teeth thing I understand actually, though it is merely an aspect.
Flaws add varity basically and actually even if a perosn is actually ugly, who they are can make the uglyness be beautiful in a way despite,
THey will be still ugly but it won't be the only thing they're.
Now ur just tweaking
Actually tho like she was so adorable 😭
@@alexcat6685She's chubby? I didn't even notice it
Now we see why he truly wasn't "boyfriend material".
Fr
It’s pretty much implied everyone else had a relationship because of that hoodie.
Because he was wearing long sleeves with sandals
BRUH I WAS LIKE "YESSS" BUT THEN NOO HE HAD TO KICK HER OUT
@@vault-tec8601 because he was a dick to the girl after he did the same thing
This animation always makes me happy because it reminds me that no matter how awkward I am, I could never fumble as hard as this guy
SHE’S SO MUCH CUTER WITHOUT THE HOODIE WHAT???
why would you throw her out like that she’s beautiful :[
I think the details of the Animation don't really matter to the story.
Because probably she just draw her that way because it was easier or whatever. It doesn't seem to be "in universe" for the Story.
The story is obviously supposed to make them both typically unattractive.
Bro has standards
Yeah, but she was way prettier than him, I wouldn't have done it.
@eliasvonbrille But what is defined as "unattractive"?
@@c00k13z-by6kk Doesn't really matter for the Story.
For me, the real heartbreaker is how happy she was when he was revealed to not be perfect and handsome. The fact that she was overjoyed and shared in the moment of vulnerability, only to be punished for it is so sad, but at the same time that delivery is so funny bruh.
She's wouldn't have even looked his way if it wasn't for the sweater. Also it's her fault trying to win people's attention when you look ugly under a magic sheet of makeup and clothes. They're both extremely shallow but it's irritating not seeing anyone point that out.
The end shows who was actually shallow LOL
@@breklaberif7553también la chica es superficial, aunque lo que importa es la reacción de ellos: ella no se enfado, lo cual pudo también haberlo hecho y el si lo hizo.
Este vídeo muestra como muchos jóvenes ponen filtros falsos para eso
I think she started to have that epiphany sooner. We at least see it start to happen. We’re led to believe that he’s inside continuing to photoshop and deepening his monstrosity, but for all we know he’s horrified at his behavior and apologizes the instant the video ends. But then he probably says something dumb like “Anyway, I don’t know why your magic sweater got rid of your adorable freckles and made your boobs too big,” completely missing the point.
It's also excruciating projection.
I hate him sm she looks adorable without the hoodie 😭
Ong bro fumbled so fcking hard😭
Fr
This is very much an incel documentary on the side
i think in her world she’s ugly even if in our world we think she’s cute
edit: I think i worded this wrong, I saw another comment making this point like 6 months ago, but instead of “ugly” i should’ve used the word “conventionally unattractive” (coming from someone who has been bullied my whole life for my looks)
@@indigovioletiris nah, i think it was just he who found her ugly with his unrealistic beauty standards not realizing that almost everyone wears makeup, so his reference point is extremely skewed
bro had an American psycho poster, the signs were there
I think the tonal shift at the end was clever, but it also made me sad because if I were in that situation, I would have loved her even more.
What if she was like 3x her weight from before
@@tsunami870id want her even more tbh

@@stevefan69 Hell yeah brother/sister/sibling, ur so real for this
went from a cute intentionally cheesy love story to a genuine social commentary in two seconds. loved the ending, very real.
@jonnytayves2915 It hurts because of the crushing reality for me. If I had to summarize the lesson, it’d be “Shoot for the stars, and if you miss, you’ll land on the Moon!”
but the sad reality is that he didn't even want to land on the moon lol.
@@Mo-hj8el nah man he would've been forever stuck searching for a supernova when the only thing he will be stuck within the end is a reflection of himself; a black hole.
"genuine"
Lol
Lmao even
@@GADGETX0 the point is a certain archetype of a guy, the same archetype in women isnt as common. there are a ton of women who are with a guy bc "she loves him" even if he is an ugliest douchebag youve ever seen
yeah there are women who "will take only 6'4 with 200k salary" or whatever there are in your americas, but thats a loud minority. they are loud bc they are infuriating and annoying and probably wouldnt know if a guy idk is 5'9 or 6'2. also they will end up as alone as guys who mirror them
He wasn't lonely because he was ugly, he was lonely because he was a reclusive, judgmental person
Damn ugly on the outside and inside
Incel in a nutshell
An incel 👌
And also because he was ugly
Real. I'm a 4/10 at best but got asked to prom last week because I'm open and funny and cool and probably 10 other things (or something, I'm awful at reading myself lol)
Will nobody talk about the sneaky reference at 0:25 of Sonic and Mario making out?!
No
Yes and it's me or the ones on the left look like Shima and mitsumi from skip and loafer??? 😂
@@tigercub4929that's definitely them 😭😭
Well, I'm sure the majority have never noticed this in first place
I knew one of them looked familiar...
the end is short but packed with punch bc it really goes to show that they're on different planes: she wants a connection and he wants a status. I like my happy endings but also love me a realistic end that describes who people are in their state of mind when it comes to relationships.
The end caught me off guard, while I was so ready for them to accept each other without the sweaters and walk together romantically to the sunset, I liked how unexpected it was, the whole animation was catching with a charming style
Welcome to reality kiddo
@@MrAnderson2845i love the reality. I will change that reality.
Much more realistic like that.
Actually, this ending is the most realistic ending, because he likes wearing that hoodie and he doesn't care about hoodie turns him into other guy
of course, usually the one who do that are mostly womans 😅
Couple observations here: first off, I really like how it's clear that the girl would still be perfectly fine with dating him because she clearly enjoyed (what she saw of) his personality rather than his looks. Secondly, it's interesting all of the foreshadowing for the REAL reason this guy can't get a date: He gets angry at everyone being in love instead of looking for someone himself, he edits a 6-pack onto a picture of his BFM-sona, he forgot their anniversary even though it was clearly important to his girlfriend, who he'd been dating for long enough that she HAD THE KEYS TO HIS HOUSE. Overall, I hope this girl doesn't spend too long crying over this guy, because he is TERRIBLY shallow.
great analysis, it got me thinkin bout stuff i didnt think of before
Don’t forget the advertisement of the e-shop. The founder of the company is named Chad and the sweater is advertised as “made by alphas, for alphas.”
This is a red flag most of us overlook on first viewing.
Exactly, Great attention to detail
😿👍
Ah yes, because we all know there's no such thing as a man who struggles with dating. After all, every woman is a perfect little angel who has only one standard for dating, be a good person. If only he was actually a good guy, he could have any woman he asked.
Bro didn’t even look that bad without the jumper, it’s pretty obvious he was the problem
the Linkin Park motif playing at 1:55 killed me
In the end it doesn't even matter!
I thought I was the only one who noticed haha
Seriously 😭
I saw "Linkin Park" and heard this motif and literally screeched like a damn pterodactyl XD
Wanted to be her so bad 😵💫😵💫
I feel so bad for the girl, she's just sitting there at the end like "Wow, I dated a douche bag" Loved this little short though!
She only liked him in the first place for shallow reasons. I think this video is fairly problematic even from the girl’s perspective. It’s a hard topic to handle with no easy conclusion.
@@baboon_baboon_baboon I don't think so. It's true that she was attracted to him because of his 'fake looks', but eventually she fell in love with who is (or how he showed himself to her), that's why she smiled when the sweater comes off. She didn't mind him being different. She remembered their anniversary and was serious about their relationship while the dude forgot about it.
Nothing would have happened without the guys fake looks. Looks are the number one thing in relationships and life in general
Men never want a woman who looksmatch with them because men have unrealistic standards
@@chillout8320no, it was more about the fact that he was confident and charming thanks to his new looks
She liked him even when he took off the sweater and wasn't as attractive. He dumped her when she took off the sweater and was equally attractive. There is so much wrong with him.
She wasn't even bad looking either. A quick brush through that absolute mane of hair and a change out of those dingy clothes and she'd be plenty good looking. I'm biased though because I like long hair on women.
Do you think it was projection?
@@sparkstudies1675 yes
So much wrong with that guy
i wish the ending was a happy ending and embraced it
Bro missed out, she looked amazing even without the hoodie
And what if she wasn't
@@m00nalien beuty is in the eye of the beholder, just cause everyone else things she isn’t doesn’t mean I do aswell
I don't think i've ever felt this mad at a fictional character before
Remember, characters we find cute outside his universe are still considered ugly within their universe.
that's the point
The characters we find cute in our universe can be considered ugly within our universe too.
Beauty's a very subjective thing, and sometimes people are into something *because* other people aren't.
People's standards for what is ugly vary a whole lot though. They seem like they could easily be considered just below average.
Still I would think the girl would be more attractive than the guy in their universe because of personality.
If that’s the case I would be a real life version of The Thing in their universe
Some people may not like the tone switch but I fucking loved it lol
It's realistic about how double standards are, and how "ugly" people want to be accepted unless it's another "ugly" person accepting them.
The tone switch was also just comedically perfect
Beautiful animation too, and great build-up to us thinking he was a decent guy. 10/10 loved it!
I'm just confused lol
Yeah, but kind of ruins the initial point for me. The fact that everyone is under societal preassure and faking themselves (or at least that's how I interpreted it).
@@PhilosophiceRetardari for me that's what makes it good, there are already hundreds of animations about it on RUclips, what makes this different and special for me is this inversion that happens at the end.
@lololp we don’t see him trying anything at the beginning so we can’t really say that she was ignoring him. It’s not like the guy would’ve hung out with the girl is she looked “normal” anyways so your analogy goes both ways and now both of them are kicked out
@lololp- my guy, the nice guy look is not a flattering one for you. It wasn't that deep in what the story was about. We all do things to try and look good, which can hide our true "ugly" selves. It was just poking fun at how some dudes get turned off when they realize the girl was coming from the same situation
honestly both of them look good without the hoodies
that girl deserved so much better
4:01 okay now I get why he’s single
Are we not gonna talk about how cute she was without the hoodie because she was totally my type when she took it off
Agreed I literally said aww when I saw the real her
@@weirdrpro922while I understand the sentiment. I think it's genuinely hard to represent an "ugly" character in a simple stylized art style without going crazy with their features which would seem pretty out of place in this short film. We can't see all the flaws the person would have in the real world due to limitations of the art form. It's the same way that it's really hard to make an "ugly" character in anime/manga without going super far outside of conventional body shapes and face structures.
Seriously! I can’t believe he would do that to such a nice girl
How to be attractive: be a woman
That's the whole message.
So your type is a 2D animated girl. OK. UNDERSTANDABLE. BYE.
It does suck since she is very pretty without the sweater. Like the freckles and the messy hair is adorable. But as other people have pointed out, the point is the double standard and the true reason he couldn’t find someone was probably his attitude.
Edit: 0:59 The foreshadowing here with the website’s text about the sweater being for alphas and being made by Chad is clever.
*growls*
@lololp who said she actually knew the normal him before hand tho?
@lololp- Ignored his normal self??? Going by the short animation, she didn’t seem to have any idea that he looked completely different, and only felt comfortable to reveal herself when she found out he was doing the same thing. They both weren’t being true about their looks, and instead of talking about it after the reveal and where they could go next, the guy immediately swore at her and kicked her out.

Jokes aside, the animation, voice acting, and music was all so very lovely! Great work to everyone involved!
an appreciator of high art i see. my talents were not wasted in this performance, and i say it is up there as some of my best work. glad to work with my esteemed colleagues to give an emmy level voice performance.
Voice acting is top notch.
This reminds me of how there are a lot of guys who want “nerdy” girlfriends, but only if they’re also hot.
Edit: Jesus christ people, Stop fucking replying, it's just a joke.
i'm so desperate i'd settle for the ugly ones

@@maxmcelhannan7477that's quite pathetic
Don’t lower your standards you’ll regret it.Some ugly people out there are way more fucked up than the average good looking people. What we not gonna do in 2023 is to date ugly people with wack behaviour #DoBetter
@@bckzz856what? I feel like golden retriever bfs are specifically attractive? Whereas nerdy gfs can be ugly or hot since nerd doesn’t include looks whereas golden retriever bfs are almost always buff and blonde?
THE WAY I COVERED MY MOUTH AT THE END?? THE ONE LINE HE SAYS IMM GIRL YOU DESERVED SM BETTER
My reaction the whole time : 😊😄
My reaction to the end : 😟☹️😥😞😠😐
I like the messages and metaphors that this short has.
Both parties weren't entirely truthful in their appearance, but the difference between them is that one learns to accept both of them for who they are and the other doesn’t whatsoever, and becomes a hypocrite.
Ironically enough his “true self” didn’t come out when his hoodie was taken off, but when the girl was, showing itself to be far uglier than any physical trait.
EDIT: You can even see that he doesn't accept even his "perfect" self when he is shown photoshopping abs onto it when the girl was visiting. It shows he directly values appearance/vanity over everything else, compared to the girl who probably only did it to have people treat her better as a person, as seen when she doesn't devalue the guy for his true appearance.
@@o340 Valid interpretation. I was looking at it in a more "literal" sense, where the sweater physically changes you into something you wish to be but ultimately aren't.
Though on second thought the changes caused by the sweater are minimal at best, especially for the girl. They could probably look like that with exercise and makeup, something available to everyone. I am now leaning more on your side, I thought it was "wrong" because the sweater fundamentally changes you into something you aren't, but it isn't like they are really "lying" on anything too serious, like for example past relationships, their biological sex, etc.
I do see the point you have. It isn't necessarily looking "better" that is the problem, it is the heavy emphasis on how those looks don't directly value a person. Someone who is conventionally attractive shouldn't get better treatment than someone conventionally unattractive.
The only thing I would say I have an opposing opinion on in regards to the story/message is that the boy accepts his appearance as well as others without the clothes. The boy demonstrates that he doesn't accept anything except what other people look like with sweaters. Even with the sweater he has, he still wants more (as seen when he is shown photoshopping abs onto his sweater-changed self). With others, sure he is nice with the girl when she has the sweater, but as soon as she takes it off he sees her as lower in importance when compared to her "perfect" self.
In other words, he is flattered when she accepts him at first, but as soon as she reveals herself to be less attractive, he values her flattery a lot less.
EDIT: I changed the comment to reflect this thanks for the insight.
"Ugly" girls are treated far worse than any "ugly" guy
@@o340the boy is definitely wrong for throwing her out and calling her a b!tch
But yeah it is a social commentary, i just dont think theyre equal in "wrongness" or lack thereof. But there is something to say about how society creates insecure boys, not only insecure girls. Everyone's insecure and it sucks
So many languages, and you decide to speak FACTS 🙌
Notice he also forgot it was their anniversary, as shown as she's looking at her phone/ calendar showing its their anniversary
Edit: To clarify what I mean, I don't think she is hypocritical as when she realized that he had the sweater she admitted to having one too. If she had broken up with him then she would have been hypocritical.
I literally yelled NO at the end. That caught me so off guard. What a beautiful animation and great subversion of expectations as someone who is so self-conscious to buy something like that would of course be that hypocritical.
@lololp-when da fuck did that happen?
Urgh I've watched the video twice now you troll. Damn it.

@@NeoCreo1 trolls my dude. They do it cause they think it's funny how people get aggitated by their comments or are seeking attention. And I fell for it.
Don't feed the trolls! They want your attention!
I had a gut feeling that the ending was the way it is (a quite old trope tbh), but it was still uncomfortable. Lots of similar scenarios happen in real life, sometimes even unbeknownst to the ones involved.
0:27 I may be a lil late 4 this video but THAT SONIC AND MARIO GIF REF IS WILD HDHSKNS
I feel bad for the girl. That could have been a good ending for both of them where they both show their true selves.
I was about to send this to my gf like a cute “us” type thing then right as I clicked the share link I saw the twist and holy fuck I think that extra second I took saved my relationship
Are you still in relationship with her?
Nice save
Tbh if she's reasonable she wouldn't break up with you over that lol, if my bf sent this to me and said "us" I'd laugh
My brother in Christ no sane person would break up with you over an animation
Ur overthinking it too much man, she wouldn't have dumped you fort this.
Absolutely love the tone-shift. It really shows us that it wasn't his appearance that was the issue. He wanted a girlfriend for the novelty of having a pretty girlfriend, like a status symbol or something.
When it's revealed that the girlfriend isn't super hot, we see that double standard come out.
It's very funny, because the guy probably thought no girl wanted to date him because they're all shallow and only want hot guys, only for him to immediately dump his girlfriend the moment she is no longer pretty 😂
Honestly? Really good reflection of that weird manosphere culture with incels and such.
This was actually a really good analysis of the quick ending, I think this idea in mind really makes the ending a lot more impactful with the message people vaguely saw.
I feel that they could’ve done the ending better to further push the ‘Incel Behaviour’ ideology it had the potential of pulling off perfectly
@lololp-why do you keep commenting this on everything? It was obvious the guys had wack ass vibes the entire short.
@lololp-Maybe he avoided her because of his low confidence.
Yeah I actually really loved the end
@CShellHeartthey are both caricatures created by the author. Men are already well aware of how much women lie about their appearance, from make-up to body-shaping clothing to wigs/weave/extensions. It's ridiculous that y'all honestly believe men are the ones dumping women for lying about their appearance.
Her smile with her reaal face... HER SMILE!!! 😭❤❤❤❤❤ SHE'S SO CUTE BRO
3:21 was the most hilarious part the way he's standing there like 'oh wow, i didnt know you were so forward'
I love this. The omen for me was when he photoshopping himself instead of remembering their anniversary. By that point I was ready for a tone shift.
It didn't click for me until someone else pointed out that it was about alpha males (look at the website), and then it all clicked for me in like a nanosecond.
Mine was when I saw the parody American psycho poster 😬
@@rinawinston815 Oh I totally missed that! I've watched the movie and read the book and it is NOT poster material
Love how the film is supposedly silent, but in the end it just surprises the viewer with only one harsh and insulting line.
A person's beauty is not determined by their appearance.
May she find happiness.
Damn bruh that ending made me so sad but also is a great lesson. Loneliness is about character more than looks. Brave girl, def deserves better. Wishing her the best.
The part where he shows the Linkin Park tickets and some of “In the End” mixes with the original music is so clever! Also, I love this short!

How can y'all not like the "tonal shift" at the end. That shit made me bust out laughing. The music stopping, the sudden use of voice acting, and of course the fact that the guy was a hypocrite provided the perfect subversion of expectations
Right? I didn’t take it to seriously and just found it funny

We need a part two where she actually gets a nicer guy.❤
And he regets but can't get her back
Or a nicer woman. Or several nice men and women. Or becomes a happy single with loads of friends and doesn't need a "Girlfriend Material" hoodie.

i loved the tone switch at the end since it WAS foreshadowed HEAVILY and some of y’all who don’t like the end did not pay attention 💀
My favorite aspect of this is how it was totally silent until he cusses her out at the end. Really sells the jarring nature of the tonal shift amazingly.
Great ending! He was an incel all along!
I just feel bad for the girl so much
@@aldranzam3456 he's not an incel if he got a girl in the first place. (Still an asshole tho)
watching this again and seeing the american psycho poster in his room….yup….checks out
Damn,I didn’t expect that ending,the double standard is crazy 😭
3:33 That could be a happy ending, but I understood the message:
If we know that we aren't perfect why we want to find someone who is?
She clearly accepted him the way he was, but he was too selfish to accept her.
Exactly!!!! You put it into the most simple phrasing possible, good job 😂 I felt the same but didn't know exactly how to say it.... guess English as a second language failed me there 😅
@@madeniquevanwyk Thanks 😄
I'm also improving my vocabulary, and your English is quite good.
She was willing to accept a narcissistic liar with poor self-confidence and even poorer hygiene. Sounds more like she has no self-worth, which is not something we should be affirming.
@@rathalomaniac6212 y'all throw around the word narcissist way too easily
@@rathalomaniac6212Here is the thing, there’s no reason she had to know about how shitty he was, from the time we see them spending together, for her he would seem like just a chill dude.
That dude fumbled the hardest Bag
I dunno who said it, but *_"we are the architects of our own misery"._*
I don’t understand, she was somehow even cuter without the hoodie. My gasp at the end. 🤬
WHAT BUT SHES ADORABLE?!
I love this! :D it also perfectly represents all those guys who whine about not being "hot enough for women" and then when a woman actually likes them they still treat her like shit because she doesn't fit the generic beauty standard.
Yeah I used to hang out with nerdy boy's and because I was considered attractive they would literally talked s*** about other women in front of me and say thank God you don't look like that . The friendships didn't last long . Only one out of the four of them was traditionally hot . But even the traditionally good-looking one should have kept his mouth shut because it was rude . They would go on about how ugly one of their friends wife's was . They would say they can't believe their friend married such an ugly woman . Meanwhile the friend was morbidly obese with acne balding and overall just not traditionally good looking . They were both very very happy and I don't know why they had to hate on her looks . They should have been happy there friend was happy instead of talking smack about how the wife looked .
@@southpark3903BRO, THE LAST ONE. It's literally because he never pulls, it's not even finding her ugly. The dude is just jealous because someone less attractive than him is happy and loved.
LIKE??
@@southpark3903i had this same situation and i have to say, they speak so poorly of the women around them that i wonder, “wow, women are doing them a favor by even talking to them” 😂😂

1:55 i love the little detail here, the ticket says "linkin park" and you hear a part of the music, such a detail i didnt realize at first! I really love this, and you can tell if was made with love ❤😊
Finally someone who noticed it too!!!
They also put in the end which actually is a song about a love story too
and the song itself was foreshadowing its so good
@@Womoisreal "In the end, it doesn't even matterrrrrr" 😫😭
@@cynical_chai8922 "I had to fall to lose it all"
This is a really good social commentary. It really highlights how important it is to differentiate a person “wanting to find love” and a person “wanting someone to love them”
Love the American Psycho poster in his room👌 Maybe it was foreshadowing him being a psycho😮
I love at 1:56 how you can hear the Leitmotif of "Linkin' Park - In The End", which was also foreshadowing the ending. ("In the end, it doesn't even matter.")
I didn't even think of it that way, I was just excited about linkin park
i had to FALL, to lose it all
OMG THAT IS SO CLEVER
Rock in Peace, Chaz
I literally said, "hahaha, **now get out of my house**" jokingly before he actually threw her out. I was rooting for the sweet ending though, broke my heart a little 😂
This happens unironically to a lot of girls now.
Especially younger girls.
It’s a good way to open the eyes of those not knowing what is going on in todays youth.
@@_Chessa_It's not a gendered thing, it happens to both men and women equally. Not just with physical appearance - the hoodie is obviously a metaphor for all the ways we hide our true selves. Many people hide who they are because they're afraid their true self won't be accepted. When they finally let someone in enough that they take the mask off, they find out they were right - their true self
gets rejected.
@@_Chessa_uuh I don't think it's common.
@@_Chessa_ The fact that you made it gender specific is actually really disgusting. Turns out men and women are both capable of being shallow, who knew? /s
Also, it's *genuinely* not "unironically", come on people.
she fr got better without the sweatshirt what was bro thinking
ive finally found the video where shimamitsu and sonic n mario were in the library😭😭😭
"...you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole." - Erica from The Social Network
So true. Nerds are hot, like what's not to like about a person that's not only a type of smart, but is both ambitious and has a desire to educate themselves about things they don't know?
They only like nerds who are hot
Lots of assholes get girls though. Murderers, abusers, rapists, racists, you name it. Only the socially incapable ones can't. Social competence is the actual deciding factor.
@@bluebird1914who said she was a nerd ☠️

Loved the tone switch because it just goes to show that a lot of people wondering why they're single are single for a reason.
or maybe they just got unlucky

@@comonhaze8940 ignore this dude, he's been popping up around the comments section giving similar takes that don't really apply to this specific video. I think he's just desperate for attention.
The fact she was cute with and without the sweater
The implication that they never had sex for a whole year is kinda crazy
Relationships don't need to involve sex in the first year, or in the second one or the third one or the fourth one... sex isn't necessarily a vital part in relationships
@@weirdcatkid It is not necessary for a relationship, but most relationships would have had sex within the first month or two of the relationship. And the guy was pretty toxic at the end, he seems like he would be someone who would get angry over not having sex.
@@shermanthebear963well, if just for this is a girl good, then I can remain forever alone!!!
I mean... neither party would want to initiate for obvious reasons.
@@shermanthebear963 Fair enough, but even then i can see why either of them would initiate intimacy you know? And that'd be fine... in any other circumstances that don't involve the hoodies and all that.
I FUCKING LOVED THE TONE SHIFT, personally it would've been cool if she shrugged and threw away the hoodie behind her as she walked away.
Eh, she was naive and the real world doesn't work like that. Chances are she would need to keep the jacket.
@@maximumforce8275 I mean I don't think she would "need" to keep the jacket. Of course it might help by making her more traditionally attractive, but I don't believe anybody has to (or should, for that matter) physically pretend to be something they're not to find a healthy, loving relationship. I know reality isn't ideal at times, but to imply that someone who isn't particularly attractive needs to be prettier in order to achieve happiness in "the real world" is simply absurd, and I feel as though this kind of thinking is dangerous in how it perpetuates both unrealistic beauty standards and the power that such standards hold over the lives of people who don't meet it.
@@maximumforce8275 She wouldn't, she's a woman, women have it easier in dating, while guys, it's just brutal for em.😢
@@AnonymousGamer-rr4xmim a guy, but even I can think that the hoodie could be useful when She is in a Rush for a date or Something idk
@@danielsurvivor1372 ah yes, it is so much easier to be surrounded by men who don't want anything except to get in your pants and then call you a whore or bitch when you don't let them than to [checks notes] have a hard time finding women to date...?
Woah-hoah-hoah, I knew a tonal shift was coming esp after I accidentally glimpsed at some comments, but that was unexpected.
Sadly it's true that while somebody is insecure of their flaws appearing,some tend to not accept others either, and I think it was encapsulated pretty well here.
I really love the artistyle! It's so cute!
Yeah. And honestly I know I'm a toxic person but I also know that there existed a time I wasn't in the slightest.
And now it's like I live on with two of those different personalities
The ojamajo doremi reference at 1:15 unexpected and really funny haha
Whenever I see this video it serves as a reminder that no matter how awkward I am, I could never fumble as hard as this guy. Thank you, person who animated this
I love how the cute art style lured you into a false sense of security only for the ending to completely surprise you. It is a pretty good message on how guys resent women for always dating "the hot guys" but get upset over women being even slightly out of their standards.
Except that's actually not true, most guys are annoyed by women who go after dudes who have a lot of money. They completely understand going after attractive dudes.
@@trentdavis3304 are looks and money the only two things that women can possibly find attractive in men in your world?
@@trentdavis3304
Of course. Since you types of losers think it's "biological" for women to like "objectively" attractive men.
Guys love to simplify everything and perceive the world around their horny minds. They don't take into account anything beyond surface level in women, so they think women do the same for men.
And I love how they always say women are "money hungry" as if that were a bad thing. If you had the option to have a lazy life with your partner providing everything for you, you say you wouldn't take it? I've seen teen boys make the "5 dollars are 5 dollars" joke more than I've seen girls gush about riches
It’s vice versa, not just men, just typically it is more common with men.
A point completely missed by many commentators is that she WAS dating a hot guy. When the asshole was nerd-looking no one wanted him, but the moment he got the sweater he got a hot girl. First impressions do matter, and you are unlikely to find somebody if you are a man at the bottom of the social hierarchy. True message of the cartoon wasn't "le men hypocrites", it was acceptance of the fact that we all have our ugly sides inside, and the guy was too shallow and immature to comprehend that and love his not-so-perfect girlfriend.
He may not be bf material, but the girl IS girlfriend material and definitely deserves better. Now give her a hug the cutie deserves it 😢
yeah, that was the bad thing... she stayed pretty
Bro FUCK i was not expecting that ending 😭 I genuinely feel BAD bro
This is so good, hope it gets more views. Specially the fact that the end is realistic instead of idealistic.
Cute animation. Not a fan of how this ended. The tone shift was off-putting for sure. But in all I could see how it relates to how realistic the double standard is for people. Nice work!
I think that was the point to be honest
I was so sad I wanted them to be together 😭
Even though I understand what the message is I still want there to be a good ending, a continuation that leads to something better... :( It's so painful tbh
Agreed I mean tbh it gives me energy of people who dated online in the late 90s/ earlier 2000s.
Like I wanted them to be together too cuz that how they kinda met up.
@@pixelzebra8440 she was too good for him
I was like “awwww” when she took off her sweater and then I proceeded to joke about how he’d probably point out the door and say “get your ugly-ass out of here”
AND THEN IT HAPPENED WHICH MADE ME FLABBERGASTED AS HECK BECAUSE IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GONNA BE ALL CLICHÉ AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER AS A COUPLE.
I love this animation tho, the characters look so adorable and the animation is just so nice. And I also love the fact that pink hoodie didn’t really get bothered that she got kicked out and just excepted it. 💖💖
Oh no, maybe it's happened before and she's just used to it😢. She can't just hide her true self forever
Of course she expected it. So many modern young men are just terrible, fundamentally broken individuals who are getting their advice from manosphere-adjacent incels who have never had a healthy relationship in their lives.
0:26 MARIO AND SONIC IN THE BACKGROUND?! 😭
At 0:27, there are literal copies of Mario and Sonic kissing in the background 💀💀
Nice story, even if the ending was sad. Very realistic. I dare to say the girl was even cuter without the sweater. Too bad he couldn't see past her physical appearance.
Well, his loss. Hope she'll find someone worthy of her.
