I found a box of awesome toy plastic food items at Target for $2.50 and it was worth every penny

his sense of humor is always at least 10 years ahead
Even his work from 20 years ago holds up. Neil is a once in a century sort of creative genius
He did influence a lot of the internet's humor.
the only exception imo being ultimate showdown, that didnt hold up too well
@@littlesnowflakepunk855 i disagree
cool
Neil is an anomalous entity of the internet, he's remained relevant and low-profile for 2 decades, he's literally the longest-active internet celebrity as far as I can tell
this man is literally a god
he is a unpredictable eldritch god, even gaining a wife
next to the angry video game nerd
He's the They Might Be Giants of the internet 🤯
Neil is our benevolent lord

Why is this so catchy? it doesn't even rhyme.
+mrpunk327 If it fits with the beat, it doesn't matter if it rhymes or not.
Reaserch the creator and you will figure it out
In musical form rhyming is often used to create a way to stick in your mind but is not necessary. A strong catchy beat or endearing lyrics can also stick in your mind.
Also Neil cicierga songs are Catchy AF I mean Lemon Demon is straight up art
it's proof rhymes are useless
Well, Once in A Lifetime is catchy without ryhimg as well
"Pickle cookie niblets" is possibly the most uncomfortable string of words I can think of
Word disassociation
Ah boi have you listened to sweet bod? “Sexy Shrinking Tumors” definitely takes the prize for that
Type “pickle cookie niblets” into the RUclips search bar and watch the first video that pops up
You’re welcome

EDIT: I WAS an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) teaching English in Japan between 2016-19, and I'm happy to report that my 5th grade students loved your video. :) It was a great opportunity for them to recognize English names for foods we've been practicing, plus they enjoyed your quirky sense of humor.
Thanks again for sharing your creativity with the world.
I'm so thrilled that Neil is being taught to people.
The same dude that created music about a dude stuffed into an arcade cabinet has taught japanese students food through a silly music video. Amazing.
@@MisterAppleEsq my english teacher actually used one of neil's videos to demonstrate point of views, i believe? (like, in writing)
she showed us a bit of the haircut interactive video. i was so happy
@@catsoda huh weird. I once read about his song "Pumpkin Pie" being used in a english class for spanish speakers in a comment.

Why's there such overlap between homestuck fans and neil cicierega fans?
This man is married now.
+mobius Lucky woman.

+mobius All the funny guys get married :/ and I'm here left alone.
Norbert Tran Well, there are always exceptions :)
To a really lucky woman. Have you seen Neil recently? He's adorable.
Neil warned you not to eat toy food,
But you went ahead and ate toy food, didn't you?
NEIL WARNED YOU.
This is what happens when you speak to the wind
@@cursedfrogimages My grammy would always warn me, but I did it anyways.
You know what, Neil was ALWAYS THE BEST at fucking everything. I find it almost disturbing how long he's been going, and yet how he's kept it so unpredictable, eclectic as can be, and always unnervingly high-quality. Even back in 2005 on Newgrounds, (remember when that site was really big?), Neil was always there stealing the spotlight because of how overwhelmingly shareable and well-made all his stuff was and still is today, in 2016 on RUclips. He is a uniquely creative and technically skilled artist, and I hope he keeps going forever because we're all basically just onlookers to his genius, and I for one am still enjoying the view after all these years.
Pikminiman was?
Since 1998 if you think about it.
Reminder there was an actual article on Salon.com called "All Hail Neil Cicierega" that has an interview with 14-year-old Neil.

I vote him for the fourteenth doctor
I have been thinking he could be The Doctor for years.
How about sixteenth
Yam Borodetsky gross
hell yeah
Same. He looks like the 11th one, crossed with either of my twin cousins.
I like to think that Neil has a horrific condition where everything he sees or does he makes a cool techno song about, but rather than being a cool ability its literally all he can do, in his music videos he's just holding back tears knowing this is all there is. Or he just likes making quirky music IDK.
YES. He should make a video about his horrible condition
The cicierega effect
im like 99% positive hes neurodivergent in some capacity. neurodivergent teens are very drawn to him like moths to a light. im one of them lol. also nice pfp

Imagine coming back 11 years later to listen to this song. Oh wait.
Damn! I’m also watching this in 2020. I feel so old now 😭
You mean there was a time you stopped listening to this? I'm watching this video monthly if not more often...
I would be 2 years old, but I'd probably still enjoy it a lot lol
Couldnt be me
LMAO, just discovered this song my man, why am I always so late?
Most of those toys look exactly like the toy food I used to own as a kid. This music video speaks to me, albeit on a very weird level.
Same! Especially those hot dogs
the CRINKLE FRIES
Same lol
Sameeee
I fricking loved those things and were so satisfying to me
(They still are to me ngl I just dont own anymore now lol)
Mee too
They all say he’s from the 80s, but he’s actually 80 years ahead of us
Here’s what would happen if a grown man ate toy food
1. The food would start to deform
2. The plastic would start to break apart
3. The edges would become sharp and jagged
4. The lining of your gums would start to tear exposing the interior
5. Your throat would be flooded with dangerous sharp plastic and you will have massive agony
6. The digestive system will attempt to melt the plastic giving the lining a solid cut
7. You will have to crap out toy food because it isn’t digestible
This is an advertisement
> implying neil isn't immortal and indestructible
you underestimate neil's power
When you're happy, you enjoy the music.
When you're sad, you understand the lyrics.
"LIKE REAL FOOD BUT IS TOY!"
the lyrics are really deep man.

God, early-ish RUclips was fucking weird. This is art.
what's crazy to me is thinking about 2009 being considered early youtube. Time flies
lol 2009 isn't early youtube. It's when youtube was just going mainstream.
nah this is just Neil
Yes, I assure you Lemon Demon is still just as weird with their latest album. And Neil in general.
Necroceine Which one? Mouth Sounds, Mouth Silence, or Spirit Phone?
"like real food but is toy"
i mean he's not wrong
i mean you aren't wrong
Not real food do not eat
I love how the song itself seems energetic and happy, and Neil’s face is just done with everything...
Except when he says “hotdogs”
Dumb story:
I remember watching this in like 2011 or 2012 and wanting to show it to my mom because I thought that it was funny, but I couldn’t remember the name of the video. I think I ended up looking “Lemon devil” (it DOES sound similar to lemon demon) but if I recall correctly, all we got was like, lemon stuff recipes? My mom thought it was really weird and I never got to show her the video.
She probably doesn’t remember it now, but I still feel like I should show it to her now that I know what it’s called.
did you show her the video?
please show her
@@celestix_ late reply but yeah I did! I can't remember when but she thought it was funny :)
@@WhiteHank late reply but I did! look at my above reply :)

Well. It's been a decade. And not only am I still listening to this glorious piece of nonsense, I just introduced it to my children who adore it so.
Instructions unclear, am currently choking on toy food
im sorry i have a crush on this guy
Same and I'm a dude
back off
He's married already
I think a lot of us do.

This video gives me serious nostalgia, he was always with me. When i came home after a sad day of school bullying i would see neil's videos. Also, i was being bullied 'cause i was singing neil's songs out loud.
Thanks neil fore these awesome momments, dont ever die like other youtube channels, stay bright, and light the way to innovatoon and creativity!
its been four years, please tell me your still singing his songs out loud like i am right now.

Wholesome comment.
Yea..I'd of kicked your ass in school for singing it too.
@@wmkk73 and i would have kicked your ass for kicking this guy's ass!!!
0:06 thanks for clarifying, Neil.
1:42
IT WAS SPAGHETTI??? I went through my entire childhood confused on what tf that was. Also this was a weeeeird nostalgia trip because I had some of these exact same plastic foods.
It looks like maggots and worms
It looks like pizza with blueberries
I always thought it was some kind of pastry lol
I want to learn every word of this song.....my life goal is to sing this
We have the same life goals
Already done it!!
I'm putting it on my list that also includes Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" and R.E.M.'s "End of the World (As we Know it)".
*Did you learn all the words in 6 years?*
this but also word disassociation
The inevitable conversation of Neil being the father of a child now. "Yes! Daddy said not to eat the toys" ....."No, we are not supposed to eat toys, and Daddy should not have eaten the toys ....Don't eat the toys like Daddy"
His voice hasnt changed in 11 years holy shit
neil's humor some how perfectly encompasses gen z internet culture
Why did you eat the toy food? It even said it in the song to specifically not eat it :O
Please tell me that you are kidding.
People of youtube...this is another herp derp moment
Tommy Standley That was 100% irony for you.
***** Like real food but is toy food. K so it's catchy, and i kind of like it. But if this ever became popular i'll be mad at the internet.
Kugrox VIDEO HAS GONE VIRAL!
I love the expressionless face. lol
are we just not going to appreciate how smooth the transitions are when he eats the toy food?
i really like how neil just stares into the camera menacingly
LOL YEAH 😂
HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS VIDEO IN YEARS
Same
watch it again
I feel like I'm in an '80s workout video
ikr
this song fucking slaps and idfc if it’s about plastic food and from 12 years ago it’s one of my favorite songs of all time
TRUE
Bro when he said toy food? I felt that.
school_lunches.avi
i love how he fumbles with the tape, a truly humble man
The 'Helper' line after the hamburger part always gets me to at least smile if not chuckle, idk why but that was the cleverest thing to me before and it still remains funny to me.
I thought I lost this video and memory of it forever.
And of course it was Neil. It's always Neil
If it's charming and a little odd, good chance it was Niel. He's been making stuff since the mid/late 90s.
When I see recent stuff of his posted, I tell people its the same guy that made Potter Puppet Pals, and they're always super surprised.
Something about this song, is amazing
i agree.
my mans really just overdosed on toy food huh
I like how Neil’s songs are always so literal unlike other songs that have hidden meanings and messages. Like what he sings in his song is literally what he means.
With Neil it depends on song tbh
Frank Zappa songs are like this.
I like it.
1:38 - 1:47 has been playing in my head ever since I watched this video more than five years ago. It felt so good when I finally found the song.
We're all living in 2018, meanwhile he's living in the 80s

My youngest son turned 6 on the 6th, but when he was little, we watched this ....and I paused at 2:06 so he wouldn't get mixed messages.

This was my freakin jam when I was like 10
I love this guy. He writes about whatever he wants. Also I'm arranging this for sax quartet. I have to play this
I like to imagine that Neil looked at the box, saw the warnings, and started humming "Toy food, not real food, do not eat" to himself and made it into a song
I love how the same dude who made Sweet Bod made this. It's perfect.
1:33 Pause it when his face is in frame and it's a perfect meme template.
Thanks
*I wanna see that frame as a new meme.*
I appreciate that this has pretty much the same structure as Word Disassociation.

a crime of me for having not listened to this like a year ago ... or when i was like 7
I occasionally find myself mumbling "Like real food but is toy, not real food do not eat." And I'm growing concerned that one day I will say it out loud infront of someone.
i thought 'two trucks having sex' was my first lemon demon song, but apparently it was this one.
Imagine seeing this video without any context.
Look at this kid! He's like 23 at the time but I wouldn't have guessed that
"Hello. Today I bought a box. It's full of fake plastic food. It's not real food. I wrote a song about it."
What would you think that song would sound like? this? no
somehow i always eventually find myself back at this video
“Like real food but is toy” hit me like a bullet. I have been moved to my core by the lyrics and visuals in this video. I will never see real food but is toy, nor real food but is just real food the same way anymore.
this still goes hard 12 years later
During the flashing colors he looks so dead inside
Still great.
MorganPaigeLoves so very very great
absolutely
Yeah
what makes it even better is how hilariously dead he looks the entire time he is doing this
i aspire to one day have a discography that allows me to append mundane statements with "i wrote a song about it"
you savage that was vegetable stew not tomato soup
there was a lot of fudging the food

Ah, this was the first video I've ever watched from the magical human being known as Neil Cicierega. We should all be very grateful we live in a time where this wonderful man exists. Thank you Neil.
i am entranced
this is my favorite song
The song: Not real food do not eat.
Neil: I pretend to not hear that
Me and my 6 year old brother listen to this a lot. Thanks for making some memories Neil. I spent 5$ on a thing of toy food just because of this.
Neil is a big fan of They Might Be Giants and it really comes through in this track - the chord structures, arrangement, lyrical timing - it makes me smile every time. Neil deserves far greater recognition!
Ok but he looks adorable in this
2:17 he ate the wrapper on the fries and I am upset
"Not real food do not eat."
And of you do please do it correctly
Ah yes, remove the wrapper to properly eat your _P L A S T I C_
it adds flavor
