Speaking of nuts, I played Thunder and Lightning for a friend of mine tonight, who works in a hospital. And when the song started talking about nuts and junk, she cried out in alarm, and remembered she needed to tell the doctor about a guy's recent screening and how he was diagnosed with scrotum cancer, in preparation for his procedure next week. So, no joke, your song Thunder and Lightning, saved a man's junk tonight. 👍
Apparently it's a famous quote misattributed to Plato that apparently came from the 1920s and popularized in Black Hawk Down. At least based on a quick search
I loved the behind-the-scenes shots at the end. It really shows the amount of work that went into it. Along with the video on Instagram with the timelapse of the animating. Y’all are amazing!
Digging all the Avi Love on this amazing video! Nice to hear him and Debbie in their son’s songs! Phenomenal stuff from Dan, Brian, animators… *BRAVO!!*
Wait really? It sounds absolutely nothing like any of the other times we've heard his voice. Even accounting for the distortion from it being a voicemail played over speaker... Idk if I buy that actually being Avi. If it is, he was definitely "doing a voice" and not just talking the way he'd normally talk.
Avi Avidan really nailed it in his role of "Dad." I hope that guy gets featured on more tracks in the future! ❤ Crazy how he has the same last name as Dan. What a weird coincidence! 😂
This is definitely one of the NSP songs that was written based on the title, and I love that it evolved from that to "ONLY THE DEAD HAVE SEEN THE END OF WAR"
My favorite thing about NSP is you can tell the 80s-90s musical vibe is 100% authentic, while keeping a beautiful unique spin on every song. Incredible!
Arin Hanson: You should write a song about something stupid the internet would love, like Unicorn Wizard. Suzy: yeah, thats stupid. Danny: UNICORN WIZARD. --------12 YEARS PASS----- Danny: you know what? not stupid enough! GALAXY HAMSTER🤣
I love how many of the songs in that list of titles that never worked DID become songs, or at least partially. Like it's sooo clear Party All Night became Mansion Party, and a few others are that same "this evolved out of your efforts to make this didn't it"
"Only the dead have seen the end of war!" is such a metal line. Also had to watch the credits, shout out to Avi for making a guest appearance! lol thought it was Arin doing an impression at first.
OMG! This was awesome! The Bionicle spliced with other toys, Galaxy Hamsters transformation with the Kamen Rider and Ultraman styled posing! And the glasses that look like they're straight out of Gurran Lagan! Absolutely loved every second of this!
there are so many kamen rider references, galaxy hamster does a rider kick, wears a red scarf, and his transformation sequence is straight up takeshi hongo's
The world wouldn't be able to handle NSP if they were writing non-comedy music. They make me tear up and give me chills as they are. It's certainly supernatural, and I love it so much. THANK YOU NSP!!!
At long last we have Boo's backstory before meeting Minsc. On a more serious note. As someone who had pets as a kid the line about Galaxy Hamster's death pulled tears from my eyes. Bravo for having created a long that fills hearts with both laughter and sadness. The range of emotions your songs bring out is incredible.
I'm absolutely floored at how gorgeous the stop motion is, the amount of time and love that went into this silly song about a hamster is truly incredible. Massive props to everyone involved ❤ (Also the cameo from Avi was awesome!)
HOT DANG the stop motion was freaking INCREDIBLE! Huge shoutout to the animation team! And love this song, sounds exactly like an 80’s animated show theme with extra JUICE (and sadness)
This song is brilliant and funny! This whole song lyrically sounds like old NSP (Rhinoceratops Vs Superpuma, Manticore, Unicorn Wizard) and the added instruments and composition is such a new but yet familiar and welcome version of NSP's medleys! It's no surprise that Avi sounds JUST like Dan impersonating him lol! Brian's piano towards the end sounds good enough to be included in a sad mopey scene in a Hollywood film. Cannot wait for the new album! Love you NSP and love the community!
At first I thought this was going to be a long instrumental piece. But then it kicks in with some rockin' lyrics that go so hard you immediately want to headbang. This song is a mind melter, and you learn Avi actually did his voice in this is pure gold.
Everything about this was amazing from beginning to end. The music, the lyrics, the concept, WE GOT TO HEAR AVI, the video, and the quote "Only the dead have seen the end of war." That I am going to obsess over for weeks
Listened to it on Spotify. The instrumental intro is amazing, and the periods during the song of only vocals sounds way too good. Love the song. Musically and lyrically, "only the dead have seen the end of war" is phenomenal. It sounds incredible Edit: nooo this was way too awesome 😭
how dose this not have a million views yet? should be the most viewed thing on youtube. absolute banger of a song, funny af, excellent example of stop motion and wonderfully directed and designed. a song about a hamster has no right to go this hard.
I'm always happy to hear some more NSP! So excited for this one, and can't wait for March to get my signed CD and hear the rest of the album! Love you guys! 😘
Apartman D Films... you guys are fucking awesome for adding in both Kamen Rider Black's henshin and the Ultraman rise sequence in this MV. Props to you from a fellow toku fan.
this was FUCKING AWESOME! absolutely phenomenal job by the animators and i legitimately almost started tearing up before seeing galaxy hamster LIVES!! and i must assume the inspiration for this amazing song was a certain group of Four Dark Devas of Destruction...
The Kamen rider Henshin and the superhuman samurai syber squad bit right after it are way too amazing of references for anyone to not get to know about.
I've watched this countless times and listened to the song on repeat since first hearing it yesterday. I am currently planning a DnD one shot based loosely on the Galaxy Hamster music video
Checked the frames on the images reflected on Galaxy Hamsters glasses during "slain." Rhinoceratops, Superpuma, The Kraken. I believe the reasoning is obvious.
was not expecting to click on this and see Kamen Rider and Ultraman references front and center, a beautiful tokusatsu inspired video paired with a good song, absolutely oustanding
Loive how Ninja Brian uses his middle finger to Instant Transmission of the way. :D I also love how he made like he was about to give the finger to GH, only to throw up the horns.
Don't forget to grab "These Nuts"! Signed Vinyl and CD's available for pre-order at ninjasexparty.com
Speaking of nuts, I played Thunder and Lightning for a friend of mine tonight, who works in a hospital.

@@happyninja42Good old NSP, saving lives and saving junks!
I know the vids are totally different, but I immediately want to see Galaxy Hamster team up w/the Starlight Brigade.
Hey, big fan! Just curious, the tour link doesnt seem to be up, is that intentional?
You guys are not ready for this one
I love you.
After reading the lyrics, you might be right. I don't know if I'm ready for it
I am Excited for this Excellent Exceptional ExHamster…wait
Oh... I'm ready alright... just... No dad, don't come into my room!
It's gonna blow your mind to shit!
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Gasp! The Gooning Overlords have graced us with their sticky presence!

“Only the dead have seen the end of war” is such a hard line from an NSP song lmao
For real, dude. I was wondering if I heard that right
It goes so hard. Why does it go SO HARD?
Apparently it's a famous quote misattributed to Plato that apparently came from the 1920s and popularized in Black Hawk Down. At least based on a quick search
Mainly because it was initially written by Plato, and later stated by General Douglas MacArthur to the cadets at West Point.
I was coming down to say the same thing, such a raw line for a song about a hamster lol
Only NSP could make a song with both the lyrics "Ever since the battle of Gerbulon 5" and
*ONLY THE DEAD HAVE SEEN THE END OF WAR*
Dropping the quote "Only the dead have seen the end of war" and then immediately after saying "galaxy hamster" twice is the hardest shit ever.
Thank you everyone for watching! We had so much fun animating this and are so glad everyone liked it! 💜💛🫶
It’s amazing 🤣 Thank YOU ❤
@@yangdarkrest y'all went so hard on this one!! amazing amazing video 👏👏👏👏

You did an amazing job! Thank you for your hard work!
Fucking phenomenal once again. Thanks for your hard work!
Actually hearing Avi's voice in this made me so happy.
Digging all the Avi Love on this amazing video! Nice to hear him and Debbie in their son’s songs!
Phenomenal stuff from Dan, Brian, animators… *BRAVO!!*
Wait that's actually Avi???
Yeah, the one who voices the dad is really him. It says in the description too. :)@@poofballoon
it's wild how it sounded like dan trying to be his dad and arin at the same time xD we love the avidad

Idk if I buy that actually being Avi. If it is, he was definitely "doing a voice" and not just talking the way he'd normally talk.
“Only the dead have seen the end of war”
That line goes WAY too hard
It’s from a Spanish philosopher named George Santayana, but it’s been misattributed to Plato
It’s a historical quote lol not from Danny
@@b00psn00t And who said that it wasn't? It does go hard regardless of origin
Immediately followed by yelling Galaxy Hamster, that's right on brand for NSP!
@@b00psn00t Ackshually.....no one cares sweetie lmao
Avi's NSP debut is perfect 🔥
Dan’s impressions are dead on 😭 he sounds more like Dan doing an impression of him now 😂
Wait was that actually Avi’s voice?

He can finally listen to himself on Spoofy
You think Mrs. Avidan calls him Daddy Sexbang?
If she doesn't, I will.

This is definitely one of the NSP songs that was written based on the title, and I love that it evolved from that to "ONLY THE DEAD HAVE SEEN THE END OF WAR"
Nah this was 100% because of Gundham Tanaka and his 4 dark Devas of destruction from Danganronpa.
FR@@OmegaGamer1989
Such a metal 40k esq line
@@Blackmage169 It's a Plato quote.
was more in reference to the tone than actually attributing it to 40K, but still good to know the origin!
"ONLY THE DEAD HAVE SEEN THE END OF WAR" goes WAY too hard.
Holy Moly, Jack Lengerich???? One of my bestest friends? Here in the NSP comment section???
"Only the dead have seen the end of war" goes so HARD. Amazing video!
Fortunately (unfortunately?) it's not like "I will face God and walk backwards into hell", in that a funny internet person is not the source of it.
Thematically, since the hamster died at the end, this part could have been seen as foreshadowing
It’s from a Spanish philosopher named George Santayana, but it’s been misattributed to Plato
It’s a historical quote
It wouldn't sound out of place in a Sabaton song
I appreciate how Ninja Brian scrolled out of screen and back around the other side so he could give Galaxy Hamster a solemn fistbump.
What a bro.
And to think that 10 years ago he would have crushed the hamster in his fist instead. (see the end of the Best Friends Forever video)
@@birdofgrey6542 Not to mention exploding two tiny dogs with his mind.
(RIP Tinkles and Gary)
Galaxy Hamster doing the Kamen Rider henshin is easily one of my favorite parts of the animation
My favorite thing about NSP is you can tell the 80s-90s musical vibe is 100% authentic, while keeping a beautiful unique spin on every song. Incredible!
Galaxy Hamster is the greatest hero of our time!!! o7
Hearing Avi’s voice makes me realize just how spot-on the Grumps’ imitation of him is!
@@speurtighearnamacterik8230 Camaraderie, adventure and steel on steel...The stuff of legend! Right, Boo?
@@speurtighearnamacterik8230You presume Boo would not get along with Galaxy Hamster, but who do you think is the Hamster King of Gerbulon 5???
“DAN!!!”
At 2:10? Isn't that Arin?

Arin Hanson: You should write a song about something stupid the internet would love, like Unicorn Wizard.
Suzy: yeah, thats stupid.
Danny: UNICORN WIZARD.

Danny: you know what? not stupid enough! GALAXY HAMSTER🤣
Which ep was that in?
@@user-kv2vc3is8h Katamari, I think. There's a compilation by Sassbear as well.
So true 😂
I love how many of the songs in that list of titles that never worked DID become songs, or at least partially.
Like it's sooo clear Party All Night became Mansion Party, and a few others are that same "this evolved out of your efforts to make this didn't it"
@@DarthquackiusI'm still waiting for the day "I Bet I Can Eat More Pancakes Than You" finally becomes a reality.
i love how dan's play world is stop-motion toys while the "real world" is 2d. amazing detail
True, I also loved that Avi got to be in a NSP video. The music, animation, everything was awesome.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war!" is such a metal line.
Also had to watch the credits, shout out to Avi for making a guest appearance! lol thought it was Arin doing an impression at first.
OMG! This was awesome! The Bionicle spliced with other toys, Galaxy Hamsters transformation with the Kamen Rider and Ultraman styled posing! And the glasses that look like they're straight out of Gurran Lagan! Absolutely loved every second of this!
i especially loved the Gurren Lagann glasses/ vibes!!! Kudos!
Gridman's rise sequence, looks like.
HELL YEAH!!!!
They really overclocked it with the Toku tributes/Refrences
there are so many kamen rider references, galaxy hamster does a rider kick, wears a red scarf, and his transformation sequence is straight up takeshi hongo's
It's so cool seeing a stop motion animated music video of this caliber!
RIP Galaxy Hamster! May his cheeks be forever filled with seeds and berries!
The world wouldn't be able to handle NSP if they were writing non-comedy music. They make me tear up and give me chills as they are. It's certainly supernatural, and I love it so much. THANK YOU NSP!!!
Good news, Danny has at least two other non-comedy bands! Skyhill and Shadow Academy both have done stuff relatively recently
NSP, Hamster, Bionicles, the ULTIMATE crossover.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war!" Did not expect the RAWEST line of 2024 to come from NSP of all places
At long last we have Boo's backstory before meeting Minsc.
On a more serious note. As someone who had pets as a kid the line about Galaxy Hamster's death pulled tears from my eyes. Bravo for having created a long that fills hearts with both laughter and sadness. The range of emotions your songs bring out is incredible.
Minsc: "Boo! I didn't know you were once called the Hamster of Gale-isty! Your legends truely know no bounds!"
Boo: *Squeaks in galaxy hamster*
oh my god i got him in my party yesterday, you're phenomenal for this joke
Gundham would be so proud to see some hamster appreciation.
Dark deva appreciation
Oh look, Big Ham.
He would also cry at the ending
I'm currently rewatching the DR 2 playthrough and all I can think about is Ghundam lol
Fret not for me, my Four Dark Devas of Destruction
I'm absolutely floored at how gorgeous the stop motion is, the amount of time and love that went into this silly song about a hamster is truly incredible. Massive props to everyone involved ❤ (Also the cameo from Avi was awesome!)
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LFG!!!!!
Dude even Ninja Brian started crying. That’s how you know it’s serious.
I feel like meeting Gundham Tanaka and his Dark Devas has done irreversible things to Dan's mind, and our lives are now all the better off for it.
I was thinking this too!! Hell yeah.
Omg a whole song about Boo, Miniature Giant Space Hamster!
Let's tell Minsc, Boo is finally getting recognized for all his accomplishments.
Beat me to it
GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!
Damn you rolled a higher initiative than me and I missed my opportunity attack to say the same thing lol
Was checking to see if any one had mentioned him yet
This is by far the best stop motion I've ever seen 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
HOT DANG the stop motion was freaking INCREDIBLE! Huge shoutout to the animation team! And love this song, sounds exactly like an 80’s animated show theme with extra JUICE (and sadness)
THE ANIMATION IS INCREDIBLE👏👏👏 Seriously the song slaps, the animators deserve huge praise, and AVI!!!!
It's a quote from George Santayana
DUDE THE ANIMATORS FOR THIS ARE SO SMART! They're action figures cause that's what they're playing with that's so smart
This song is brilliant and funny! This whole song lyrically sounds like old NSP (Rhinoceratops Vs Superpuma, Manticore, Unicorn Wizard) and the added instruments and composition is such a new but yet familiar and welcome version of NSP's medleys!

Ah yes superpuma the cybernetic death kitty
The “No dad, don’t come in my room!” always gets me every time I listen to this
I got major Kamen Rider vibes when he came in on his wheel. THEN HE ACTUALLY DID THE POSE!!!
Then he did the Ultraman rising sequence right after! It was too good!
"Only the dead have seen the end of the war!"

Happy to see the legend, Avi Avidan credited.
I can not wait for this and especially to actually hear Avi’s voice in this 😆
"Watching as society all goes to SHIT" idk why but the way he says shit gets me every time.
0:55 The movement of Danny alone looks like it was from robot chicken, just goes to show how talented Apartment D is.
Cannot overstate how cool it's been to watch Danny grow over the years. Rock on, my dude.
Dammit, how the Hell did NSP just make me suddenly tear up over a fictional hamster...
Everything about this was amazing from beginning to end. The music, the lyrics, the concept, WE GOT TO HEAR AVI, the video, and the quote "Only the dead have seen the end of war." That I am going to obsess over for weeks
I do love the consistency of some form of The Manticore being a villain in most NSP videos that require one
NSP do not miss.
Of course, impeccable work too by the animation team.
The use of bionicle brings my inner child such joy 🥹
This song is a perfect ode to those like epic fantasy rock songs, including one random super raw line, being "only the dead have seen the end of war"
The animation in this!!! So many different types, and so good!
The stop motion in this is fucking insane. Top tier work people. A thousand times harder than just animating it, and it shows. Well fucking done!
This is beautiful! Bionicles, the pointy Kamina glasses, Avi. Like just pure beauty!
Don't forget the Enel face!

Always love to see references to Kamen Rider and Ultraman in things. Outstanding as always guys! I listen to this song almost everyday on my commute.
Commenting so this does better in recommended because this is awesome!
I have never seen such intricate stop motion this is a work of art holy shit
It's not a hamster.
It's a miniature giant space hamster.
Hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice!
GO FOR THE EYES BOO! GO FOR THE EYES!
BUTT KICKING FOR GOODNESS
There was so much work put into a song about a Galaxy savior hamster and I love it. The insanity I'd expect from NSP, and it rocked.
There was a time on RUclips when a video like this, creative and impeccably executed would have gotten millions of views. 😢
There's no doubt in my mind that NSP creates some of the most amazing and artistically driven music and visuals on this site today.
I love the change from animation to action figures. These people are too crazy with art styles lol
Apartman D Films... you guys are fucking awesome for adding in both Kamen Rider Black's henshin and the Ultraman rise sequence in this MV. Props to you from a fellow toku fan.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war" is the most raw fucking line I've ever heard
these guys bring so much nolstalgia... i remeber all the way back to cool patrol!!! these guys are legendary
This video combining my love of NSP with my love of LEGO
this was FUCKING AWESOME! absolutely phenomenal job by the animators and i legitimately almost started tearing up before seeing galaxy hamster LIVES!! and i must assume the inspiration for this amazing song was a certain group of Four Dark Devas of Destruction...
The "Neon Pegasus" vibes from this are huge, and I'm HERE for it. Fantastic work everyone put into this video and song!
Love how the animators basically went into business for themselves and went "Yeah, fuck that. The Hamster doesn't die."
I LOVE the "Most Special-est of Thanks" section of the credits. I concur - every adorable animal deserves a kudos
Just bought my signed pre-order vinyl. So excited for it to arrive. Love you guys! Congratulations on the new album!
The Kamen rider Henshin and the superhuman samurai syber squad bit right after it are way too amazing of references for anyone to not get to know about.
