How the hell does a short horror film about a girl phasing through a floor turn into "this guy dresses up as a blue cat and eats clay because south african legend"
Its literally anything you can click or tap on a screen that leads to another existant or nonexistent LINK and since there's lots of those you've probably asked by now and if you have you're right....that's links
after watching the original short film I was like “ok how is he gonna spend 90 minutes talking about this” which quickly morphed into “oh my god how does he only spend 90 minutes talking about this”
The dad especially is such an uncomfortably good actor, it makes it seem less like funny nonsense and more like someone who's actually subtly unhinged.
How did we go from "Girl goes through floor, with occasional frames of a sonic ripoff and a monster" to "man dresses up as a fake sonic and eats clay and trash"
"don't pay attention to the back window, it's just Dennis the repairman being jumped by two people, but we'll talk about that later" because that's just a normal thing that happens
Coming in at a close second, is "Christian Chandler" and the "Sonichu" phenomenon. (I forget it that's his name or not, I know it has Chandler in it. Just look it up on youtube, someone made a documentary style video on it. it's a freaking crazy story)
i think the reason the mom texted the daughter asker her to not be in the bathroom for so long was because the ABC company can’t put cameras in the bathroom and for some reason she wants her daughter to be visible to the company. maybe the reason Madison was just sitting in the bathroom is because she doesn’t want to be filmed, and that could also be the reason that she avoids going home (leaving her mom in the parking lot to hang with her friends)
"What has spiky hair, is blue, has red shoes and runs super fast?" "Umm, Sonic the Hedgehog?" "No no no.. let me help you out a little more. It eats trash too." "AHHHH, it's Boomy the Cat!"
these people are really good actors, i feel like lots of ARGs are more obvious because of a little bit of overacting, but the dialogue between these characters seems to be usually pretty natural sounding and believable
Going off of the child neglect theory (which I find very valid) the pink monster could be the personification of neglect. hence why it torments the parents in particular showing them their failures through not providing bed sheets to their son. It also resides in the junk room where items are neglected.
And it makes sense that this "neglect person" wears the neglected child's bedsheets. It's something that the parents forgot/didn't care about to give their child. But the personification of neglect doesn't forget and it cares unlike the parents. Because it knows how much the kids suffer from it. And it knows how much something like not even owing a set of bedsheets means to the kid. So it wears it as some sort of symbolism maybe? And if we wanna go a little further it can kinda look like a cape. Like how maybe this personification of neglect is trying to act as a hero for these kids. Or maybe it's a character Jackson made himself, a hero that he wants to save them (His imaginary friend that the dad himself is something good for kids?). Based on the logs we know he's made his original characters before. One that was all pink as Madison described. One of the more interesting conclusions. Personally, I like the concept of it being the personification of paranoia a bit more. But then again, the many different perceptions is a part of the experience.
Not to mention, in two videos in the collection where the parents are talking, we straight up see Dennis getting beat up by two guys in the window behind them, when at least the wife could easily see it.
I keep coming back to this video but if you notice, the pink guy doesn't actually cause any harm. It just exists around the house. It doesn't attack anyone, it doesn't destroy things, but they're still scared of it. Just like Lynks
This project is so old but one odd note is the email mentioning Boomy and a "pink one", acknowledging Jackson being aware of the pink person. This short film is fucking bonkers
Oh my god you’re right she mentions that there’s no cat that’s all pink in the boomy franchise, meaning Jackson is drawing the pink person in his home and the others don’t know about it
@@ellieh.4297 I'm surprised I haven't heard this mentioned anywhere else, this is a big part of the puzzle missing and contradicts the notion mentioned in this video that the pink person isn't real.
even 5 years later, this video has some absolutely GOLD quotes; "Ignore any movement you see behind Tom, that's just Dennis, the repairman, recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him", “He straps on a costume and eats clay, just like a South African” or "This family watches a show on tv where a man with an imaginary disease praises a cure that is a metaphor for horse shit"
I realized something while watching this again: the way Tom and Ann barely notice things happening right in front of them, forget about watering the Christmas tree for a week, and seem to lose all their common sense at completely random times? That reminds me an awful lot of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. And towards the end of the video, the house begins to fill with smoke. Just something to chew on.
This makes more sense when you bring on the fact that carbon monoxide is invisible, it might be we only see because without it, we wouldn’t be able to catch it
@McFlickers you just described half the people I know. I’m over here planning for a future of homesteading on my small property and my husband is like “Why?! We live so close to grocery stores and a Walmart!” 🤦♀️
I feel bad but I couldn't help but wheeze at the sight of Dennis just getting absolutely wrecked in the background while Tom and Anne aren't even seeing it
i cackled at that part simply because the order of introduction made that so much wilder than it already was. like at first i couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not.
@@RyushuSuperCat i can see that being funny but for some reason when i felt a sense of injustice despite it all being fictional, i mean the guy got hit with a rock, a large one
When he said the definitive answer is your own perception I almost cried bc it's 3am and I have no ability to think for myself so I was really counting on him to tell me
The sims. Melting on the floor? Face against the wall? Bugs. Somoene getting the hell beaten out of them while people inside don't notice? There is a window and there is a wall, they can't see bc it's not interacting with them. The weird talks? Yeah
Dude honestly I felt the same, I’m really horrible at thinking for myself especially when it comes to things as complex as this😭 it’s always been hard for me to analyze things properly and come up with my own thoughts and opinions, which is why I watch so many videos about others doing it
Several words: obsession leading to neglect. A recurring theme is obsession, paranoia, and child neglect. I think the people and things being face down and stuck is an allegory for being "too far gone" into a delusion or trend, and that madison falling through the floor is symbolic of a descent into madness, possibly death. The pink thing is probably personification of the combination of paranoia and child neglect plaguing the family. This personally reminds me of an extreme religious household or something, one that practices home remedies over actual medical treatment and as a result, the children of the family suffer, believing that they are riddled with something terrible, and the parents punishing or neglecting them because of that, beit sin/"sinful behavior", or lynks. I don't think that's what this is and allegory for, its just reminiscent of it. There is a potential that lynks isnt even important at all and is a red herring, the real issue being the abuse and neglect of the children due to the parent's insanity and obsession, which is overlooked due to everything else going on
@@AlexReynardhey the creators of this piece of art want people to discuss and come up with original theories and interpretations of their work. You’re kind of crapping on that important part of media analysis and artistic critique
Okay f’real, like that scene talking about glasses feels so beautifully mundane and ordinary. A lot of ARGs have obviously fake acting in order to make it clear that this is a work for the audience to work with. This? Completely uninteresting. Totally realistically bland dialogue. I love it.
@@0404chrisjz I mean that they looked like normal humans, not like they were acting. They didn't even look like they were acting as normal humans, they just looked normal. How much I've seen is irrelevant. All I need to know is good acting from bad acting, and that was pretty frickin' good.
@@rockstarenthusiast Not to mention it adds to the atmosphere. Most of the horror we see is in the dark. And it gives us a feeling of the dark being unsettling. Buy when it's done in the light, it gives us that chilling feeling of "oh god this could happen to me too"
everyone talks about "ignore any movement you see behind tom, that's just dennis the repairman recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him", but not enough people talk about "maybe you're like jackson, who suddenly develops extreme mental processing speed and tries to hack into the government with 4 laptops on the kitchen floor". that took me tf out the first time i watched this holy shit
that super casual delivery of "Ignore any movement you see behind Tom, that's just Dennis, the repairman, recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him." Like it's something so routine it doesn't even warrant further explanation, it cracked me up.
I just watched Feldup's video on "This House Has People In It", his 100th finding. In the end of it he explains how you basically are the reason that he's making videos to this day. Thank you for being the spark that inspired him to be the creator that he is today, you helped with the creation of what is in my opinion, and i'm sure the one of many others, the best "horror" youtuber on the french side of youtube. I wish you the best
It's while he's talking to his wife in the living room. I think it's one of the conversations they have while Dennis the repairman is getting beat up outside.
Video: horror movie where girl sinks into floor Lore: okay so there’s this guy who dresses up as a blue cat and eats garbage and clay pizza, also there’s a pink person in their basement and wears bed sheets
Sounds like the backstory of a 2009 "faux edgy" deviant art OC drawn on ms paint and whos design changes each time its drawn because the ref sheet that was made was absolute horse apples
I know I'm six years late but I want to share my interpretation. I think this entire art piece is a statement on anxiety. Madeline is literally sinking through the floor. She's sinking down into anxiety about Lynkes disease, which is ironically manifesting her symptoms. This is common with those with anxiety, they often fear situations so intensely that they end up creating and manufacturing memories and events which didn't happen. Anxiety is all about perception, which explains the common theme there. Everyone in the family is a hypochondriac for Lynkes , and this ends up manifesting in their day to day lives, which destroys the family (as we see in the short film.) I don't think we're meant to take everything literally, I think it is a figurative exploration of anxiety and compulsion, and how it can interfere with people's lives. In reality, the true disease is not Lynkes, it's the fear of Lynkes.
as someone who has struggled with hypochondria this video struck a chord with me, from dennis touching his face all the time to the father struggling from symptoms he believes to be real to the mothers constant need to check up on a doctor this reminded me of myself a few years ago
I thought it was because he only ate pizza at first. Pizza is good, but the human body needs many diverse vitamins and minerals that pizza can't fully provide. Nothing can. That's why there is so many different types of food. Then, I thought, because of they clay pizza, it was malnutrition. At the end, I still think he lost lower mobility because of the lack of the proper vitamins and minerals a human body needs to survive.
As much as I wish I could bring myself to watch these art films and support such passion and creativity, the way my heart sank into my gut from the five second clip of pink man walking up to the parent's bed reminds me why I can't. Very glad to have channels like these to satisfy my curiosity!
Seeing that clip in the full chronological footage video (especially after sitting through the full 2 hours of relative “normalcy”, though sprinkled with chaos) is so much worse… Gave me serious chills and I’m normally not too bothered by horror 🫠
I know I'm HORRIBLY late, but aside from the overlying "Lynx Disease" sub plot, I think this video shows something A LOT more depressing. The daughter. The subject prone IN the kitchen floor. She'd been lying on the floor for 2 hours, but no one takes any notice. When they do finally notice, they try to blame this on her, first thinking she's crazy, then thinking she's lying and then thinking that she's on drugs. But they never blame themselves. So, we get the horror that ensues: The neglect of everyone in the house, including two younger children. The smoke alarm, screaming above in the kitchen and smoke filling the house. A daughter, trying to reach out to her parents who push her away and blame her for their problems. Parents who clearly can't raise a household pushing weird ideals and horrible teachings onto their children. Elaborating on this point, we can see the forced diet of clay and questionable TV shows "Boomy the Cat" and "Sculptors Clay Ground" that the children have learnt to live with. A more weird thing to take into account around the end are the seemingly meaningless scenes. The ones with a boy's birthdays involved. If you listen closely (or use the CC like me ;D), you can hear the phrase "but no present for the birthday boy" in one of the scenes. Combine this with the children all lying face down can show us another overlying theme of neglect; a child meant to be given attention and love not given any that ends with a situation no one can point the blame at. This video isn't just about insane parents. It's about child neglect, and how that can effect those around. Like with the repairman, trying to cut the daughter out of the hole, desperately trying to fix something already broken, before being pulled away by the abuser to try some other insane idea they have.
There's a thing about good horror getting at something taboo or uncomfortable and I'd completely agree that this achieves exactly that. He subverts our expectations of a household ('people' not 'a family'); then, to me, it is about dysfunction in the family unit and, as you say, the idea of not hate exactly, but the lack of love in the family and neglect on the part of the parents. I think when the film is explored from that angle, you get towards this abrasive, shocking final act where we Resnick basically says that familial lovelessness is an epidemic - we see everyone suffering in some form, but the grandmother, who (I think crucially seems more interested in the strange, somewhat inexplicable modelling lore) has apparently finished her parental duties, spends much of the film completely oblivious. Between this and Unedited Footage (where we are also in a very consciously domestic setting), I think Resnick is really talented at presenting family psychodrama in horror tropes.
Don't forget the young boy, Jackson. He has basically no lines and is ignored by his parents. His bed has no sheets and his room is basically just his grandmother's room. Unlike Madison there isn't anything wrong with him (except precocious depression most likely), but his family still treats him like metaphorical chopped liver. Same for the child who is allowed to run outside unattended. The name also plays some prevalence, as those in the house are so dysfunctional they are just a gaggle of people, not necessarily a full family.
You just turned on a lightbulb in my head. Perhaps this series is also about depression? A lot of the things the parents tell Madison are things many people are told when they try to open up about their depression (Ie. "You're crazy, you're on drugs, you're just looking for attention, etc.") And it would make sense with how Madison is sinking through the floor since, for some, depression makes you want to lay down and do nothing until you die. Her sinking into the floor could also be interpreted as Madison "Rotting away" until she "dies" (when she hits the mattress.) It also makes sense since recorded cases of depression have been rising, especially in our youth. Grandma's oblivious to it all because her generation didn't deal with that stuff at all. The parents, to me, represent current adults who are in denial of their problems and try to bottle it all up. Like how the dad was singing "It's Your Flag" and how the mom is frequently brought to tears "Because a character died." I've often said the same thing to dodge people asking me why I've been crying. Finally, you've got the kids who are hit the hardest simply because they're kids who still don't know how to handle their emotions. In this case, they are being emotionally neglected by their parents who would see their kids having problems as a failure on their part. After Madison falls through the floor, everyone outside the house is laying down like she was. If we do interpret Madison falling as her dying or possibly committing suicide, then everyone outside could represent how, after someone, especially a teen, kills themself, the community as a whole is struck by depression. Almost spreading like an epidemic. In this theory, things like The Sculptor's Clayground and Lynx Disease represent how society overall treats depression. It's a bad thing that you shouldn't have but no one can say for certain why people get it or how to 'fix' someone who has it. Like the webpage says, "You DON'T want to get it. You DO want to get rid of it!" The Sculptor's Clayground fits very well since taking up a new hobby, or using art to vent, is a common way people cope with depression. Admittedly, I'm a bit tired so my sleepy brain could be seeing things that aren't there or THHPII is so open to interpretation that you could come up with any theory and it'll work.
Thank you from France to have inspired one of the best French youtuber out there to make videos. Feldup will probably be the NightMind of another teen discovering horror and it's thanks to you
I went in skeptical as always but was pleasantly surprised to find that that house DID, in fact, have people in it. Thank you for not betraying my trust Mr. Resnick.
I was also very curious about this. Thoughts ranging from, "are these people really in the house?", to, "are they just a figment of the house's imagination?", tumbled through my mind. But, alas, these questions and more were clearly answered.
Amen to that, wow. I love this video as a whole, but he really tends to ramble on that point for far too long. The point is gotten across pretty quick-it’s bringing up the subject of pseudoscience spreading rumors, it doesn’t need a 10 minute recap making sure we understand it.
I love how in tape 05008 Night Mind just says, "Tom isn't doing so well, Observe" and then Tom just fuckin goes headfirst into a door and Iose my shit.
The title is so strong. "This House Has People In It" The implication feels like you can assume what you want from the title in a variety of ways, but at its base structure the most important thing the title tells us is they aren't calling the people in the house a "family". Its almost advertising a home but warning us its been infested with people, and at the end of the video one of those people escapes (baby) and we see everyone on the ground. This Earth Has People In It
Revisiting this so many years later- when I first watched this, it got in my head so bad that I couldn’t sleep. Props to Alan Resnick for creating one of the most inexplicably horrifying things of all time.
Feel the exact same way about this! Something about this that I can't even put into words freaked me out extremely bad I just lied in bed, frozen. About to revisit this wondering if my experience will be different
No matter how many times I watch this, hearing "after the baby escapes into the woods" always cracks me up. You say that so nonchalantly it's hilarious because the tone and delivery matches the content of the madness going on xD
Meanwhile the baby: Mother, father I am going on a journey with a group of middle aged man to economically devastated country, to put a golden ring into active volcano in order to defeat a fallen Maiar. Please do not wait with dinner, while you are uneffectively trying to save my sister.
Hey ! Yes i am another Feldup's french viewer ahah Thank you for your videos. Feldup is basically one of the most apreciated french youtuber, and the horror's ambassador here, in France. Plus, he is know as a kind-hearted and very funny guy. In facts, nobody can hate him, he is the best. I say all these things to let you know how good your videos have been on him and basically the whole french community. So, again, thank you for your videos, they created all of this :)
That either means 2 things: 1. It's another Easter egg, like the photos from Unedited Footage of a Bear. 2. It's more leverage that these people are very gullible in the horse apples being fed to them.
In the “forgot password” option on the surveillance website, it actually says “forgot pword” so perhaps that adds “ass” to the list of missing letters haha
Okay, so, there's one really important thing about Jackson that cat daddy totally ignores here. In the text message from Madison to a friend talking about Jackson's Boomy drawings, she says "I'm pretty sure there's no character who's all pink." All pink? *ALL* *PINK?* Where have we seen an all pink character in all this stuff? The bedsheet-wearing pink ghoulish thing, of course! And if those _are_ Jackson's bedsheets, doesn't it make sense that he might have seen it? Perhaps Jackson has a deeper connection to this than we think. His birthday party gets interrupted by his older sister and at the end of it all, the partygoers appear to be in rough shape. A kid would be awfully upset if their birthday party was ruined, right? It would be a SAD DAY. And his BEDSHEETS are missing. Pretty significant words, right? There has to be something deeper behind all of this. Jackson is more involved than we think. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
I think that pink creature plays into the theme of perception. Jackson’s perception is of his imaginary, play-pretend world with cartoon characters (like any kid has). That’s why Jackson thinks Boomy is real. Pink creature is a personification of the monster under the bed, because it stole his sheets
@@rubyjackson6861 this is why I love night mind his catch phrase is "I think" or "maybe" because he's all about making us think too and formulate our own ideas. I love his work and how he's never trying to make us think what he thinks he just shows the clues and leaves it to us while giving his own theory.
This probably won't get seen in the piles of comments, but to make an observation on the clayground subject: The host mentions an ex named Sam, who left him after he committed a crime. After watching the video back and some notes on the site, it's possible either this Sam was a gifted musician that he never felt good enough for, or Sam isn't really his ex, and Sam is attracted to a musician, that the host killed. "This here is a piano wire that a more musically gifted person could use to turn a wooden gourd" "Lynks gave me perfect pitch" It's entirely possible that the clayground host made up this lynks narrative to cope with the fact he isn't talented enough for this Sam (and the fact he's nuts)
Me: Wow I can’t wait to watch this video find out why this girl is sinking into the floor Night Mind: so there’s this guy who’s obsessed with boomy and eats clay Me: oh
the pizza thing is interesting from the neglect pov! not to get too into it but my sister and i were neglected by our dad and the only decent meal we'd get would be pizza on fridays. it was like... getting that pizza and everyone eating together and watching a movie, we could all pretend we were normal and doing Classic Normal Family things
Surprised this video contains no mention of the fact that almost all of Anne & Tom's phone calls to each other end abruptly with one or both of them screaming in terror at the top of their lungs for no apparent reason. Are they seeing the pink monster when this happens? It seems like they can't actually see it most of the time, but maybe sometimes they can, and it's so horrifying that their brain blocks it out after the encounter ends?
And another interesting thing about the logs: repeated references to something called "Room X". I don't think that room is ever actually shown, but it is reference numerous times, including a 1 second video we can't see where Jackson goes in there. Could it be the room that Tom can't seem to picture in his head? Is it the cluttered garage where the monster lives?
@@sam5389 I haven't seen references to room X myself, mainly because I haven't looked at anything other than the original 11 minute clip, but I wonder if room X might be where all the camera feeds are going to, the surveillance room.
Also, i love how the title of the project is so perfect. "This House has People in it" is literally the only objective, factual thing about the whole thing that is unabashedly true with no confusion or misperception.
Hey i come from the video of feldup and i really want to say you thank you. Thank you for giving feldup the chance to launch on youtube. he remade my evenings with his videos. And all thanks to you thank you
It's funny, I'm more just morbidly fascinated. But if you really stop and think - yeah, it's pretty sad, and...very, very strange. Everyone salutes. It's not just that the guy is doing something socially inappropriate, everyone else goes along with it at the end, as if it were...normal. They're all crazy.
okay this is gonna be a lengthy response but this is my take on the project. like this video says, lynks is not a physical disease, it's a disease of paranoia. once you've heard of it, you become paranoid that you've contracted it, and you start acting as though you have the symptoms even when you don't. it's the placebo effect. essentially you're a hypochondriac and because you've convinced yourself you have the disease, you subconsciously start to act as though you do. you hear about new symptoms of the disease - through the newsletter, for example - and then suddenly you happen to have those symptoms too. tom loses motor control of his body not because of any physical toll the disease has taken on him, but because he's convinced himself he has it and his body starts reacting accordingly. i believe that the point of the project is that us audience members become infected by lynks too - we get swept into the paranoia of trying to understand this disease. we get "infected" by watching the first 11 minute video, and once the seed has been planted, we start looking for answers. just like it sends the family members into hysteria, it sends us audience members scrambling to make sense of it all. the more we look into the clues, the videos, the audio recordings, the text files, the more confused we become and the more desperate we are to find an answer. each clue we find brings us no closer to understanding what is truly going on, and that's because there is nothing to understand, there is no answer or solution. this causes us, as well as the family members, to go insane as we look for "links" - or clues - that will lead us to understand what lynks disease is. alan commented something about finding an R. i believe the point of alan commenting this was to send us off searching for more clues again - clues that won't lead us anywhere. maybe there is an R somewhere, maybe there isn't. regardless, it won't bring us any closer to understanding lynks. and that's the point, because there is nothing to discover. lynks isn't real, it's just paranoia and the idea that a seed planted in your head can cause you to make something out of nothing. alan is trying to mess with us again to drive us further into paranoia. the thing that i think really supports this conclusion is the fact that all of the people behind this project included random easter eggs and sometimes the other people on the project wouldn't even know about them. if the people working on the project weren't aware of all the easter eggs put into the film, clearly they don't serve a significant purpose in helping us identify what's going on. i guess you could call the easter eggs / clues "red herrings." the easter eggs / clues are meaningless - they aren't meant to lead you to any sort of conclusion, they're just there to give you the illusion that there IS a solution to find, when in reality there is not. we've become infected by lynks disease because of our frenzy in searching for the meaning of it all and trying to understand what lynks is, just like the family members. just look at how much time this guy spent looking into horse apples! of course, this theory does lead us to some questions though. if lynks isn't real, why does it have material consequences on the family members' lives? why does madison sink through the floor into the basement? why is there a pink thing occupying the house? as stated in the video, these supernatural occurrences could all be a metaphor for the paranoia caused by the family trying to understand lynks and by their concern that this supposed disease will hurt them. and what about the cartoon cat? perhaps the ridiculous parts of the film are meant to symbolize the hysteria of it all. i don't have all the answers, but i'd love to hear what other people think.
the kid draws the pink person, and no one else knows about them, there is something else, maybe not deeper but it is there, just need to search for more clues
Merci à toi d'avoir donner l'envie et la volonté à Feldup de faire ces magnifiques vidéos ! je ne te regarde pas spécialement mais tu es une personne importante dans ma vie également. Encore une fois merci pour tout.
An interesting thing about the lynks in the water is that it sounds like the many conspiracies around water, esp tap water. One example is the worry about fluoride in the water (even though it’s super watered down and just helps your teeth).
There’s also the idea that I don’t think you mentioned, Tom not only loves Boomie just as much as his son does, he might dress up as him because he wants to be his son’s hero. Tom is a man who clearly is going through a crisis and who wants to rid himself of a fake disease as well as all of his imperfections. Tom wants to act out being his son because he wants his youth back. Though, at Jackson’s birthday party he is in tears telling him “I’m so sorry I really wanted you to have a good birthday.” Or something to that affect. He really worries for his son and he wants him to be happy. Maybe his obsession with Boomie was brought on by a desire to be a good father when he is clearly a bit to off of his rocker to be as attentive as a father needs to be.
I saw other people talking about how it might be about child neglect so maybe him trying to get rid of his imperfections is also him trying to forget about how I’m he used to neglect his son, maybe thats why he acts the way he does 🤷🏽♀️
0451 is actually a very common code used in immersive Sim games like Deus Ex and Bioshock. It's usually the first code a player might have to use on a vault or door, and is something of an Easter egg used by a developer to signify a game's design philosophy being that of an immersive Sim. I don't know if it was intentional at all here but I thought that was a cool detail.
1:11:03 After re-watching this video over the years, I think "head collapse" might be another term for a mental breakdown in this universe. It could be called this to give mental breakdowns a horrifying connotation in that they're more dangerous than they actually are. That's just my take on it, though. I could be wrong.
I think child neglect ties in as well. You've got Madison, left on the ground for two hours before she actually starts sinking through the floor. Then Jackson, the birthday boy, who is left alone or ignored for the majority of the video, has to share a room with the grandma, and who has no bed sheet. And of course, the baby, who--after being passed off to the oblivious grandma--is immediately forgotten and left to crawl out the back yard to who knows where. Like the parents are so caught up in their anti-Lynks mania that they fail to notice or recognize the very real issues facing their children.
I'm rewatching this, and I will never not smile at the injection of a stupid Sonic the Hedgehog parody in this otherwise completely surreal unfiction project. I love it so much. What Wham City Comedy made will never be matched, it is all so uniquely silly and weird with just the right edge of creepiness to make it truly absurd.
Well if we go by the video's explanation: At some point, Madison became convinced of something like "I bet I could phase through the floor and they wouldn't notice." The reality warping effect promptly made that happen.
Maybe as she has clay on her hair and also the baby on her hand, she was infected and being almost inmovil heavy (as the father before when he was trying to slide through the floor) and passing through the floor were part of the symptoms
@@Thomas_Winters the house is made of people because it has bricks in it so people die then get turned to dirt and mud that can be turned into clay that gets fired and then used in the house Thank you for reading my conspiracy theory.

Forming arbitrary associations that ultimately lead to a conclusion that creates a self-induced paranoia. Basically, feeling a little unwell, reading a Web MD article, and concluding that you now have a terrible disease. You're linking unrelated ideas together and coming up with a fearful conclusion that you ultimately obsess over. And that is the "Links Disease."
+Fyrsiel Maybe you guys are onto something. Just as "unedited" had a very simple idea or theme once you put together all the bizarre seemingly random pieces (antidepresants causing murder suicide) this one could be hypochondria and self obsession causing damaging introversion. I left the room for a bit and did some other stuff and the idea came to me, I was so bugged by how little sense the "falling through the floor" thing made. Then it just fucking hit me. I asked myself what we knew about that girl, since knowing SOMETHING would be a clue. We knew nothing. Why? Nobody seemed to talk about her, nobody seemed to have conversations with her. She could have been dead and the first instinct for several hours was that she was just faking for attention. She was phasing through the world because she was gradually ceasing to become a part of it. The boy was still the subject of attention, but it is clear he would be in the same situation eventually as the baby takes center focus and his neglect goes to an even greater extreme. It explains so much, like the otherwise weird "when she falls through, everyone tell her we love her" bit. His revelation was that they were losing her, so the last ditch effort was to make her feel validated as soon as the opportunity came. We see two possibilities (she falls through the mattress and then the world itself) or she lands on the mattress and everyone tells her they love her and she is in their field of perception again. Good or bad ending? No, both are bad endings. Clearly this is a metaphor for suicide, the family thinks she is "faking it for attention" until they are clearly losing her for real. How does the family react? They take the mattress (which already has no bedsheets) from their slightly less neglected child, in order to save the daughter. So if this is metaphor, it could be presented in this way, the family sees that her suicidal behavior is not an act and they finally focus on her and give her the love and attention she needs, but in the process take love and attention away from the boy. We already see him acting completely depressed and uncaring of everything. He will be the next to phase through the floor. Why the people at the party too? No fucking clue, makes about as much sense as the pink freaking monster. Maybe it's not suicide but "phasing out" of their lives. The daughter was "drifting away" but the entire affair or just the seeming rudeness and lack of interest in the guests causes them to start fading away from the family as well. Yeah, that one has a lot of holes in it too. Still trying to make sense of this. I can't help but mention this mind splinter that's bugging me. The boomcat thing. Obviously sonic, right? Ok maybe the actor playing the "thing" is the dad, but what if that is just because they had to reuse actors? Yes the dad's interest in the cat could be seen as a clue to this secret, and I find it the most likely, but it does seem worth noting that we know of another "alan" character who likes the color blue, who we have seen eat garbage, who we know could potentially be violent (the mother's concern of the cartoon being "violent" seems a little out of nowhere given the clues we have about the cartoon but could be a clue of the characters identity) and who is childlike enough to have an obsession with such a cartoon character. Yeah, you probably see where I am going with that one. I couldn't help having that thought as soon as I saw the costume, and this character roaming from house to house eating up all the garbage. But yes, the dad does make far more sense, but there is another thing that bothers me. First the kid has the interest in boom, then the dad has a slight interest (I remember parts of the song) which clearly grows, and then we see the wife start to build an interest even though she dislikes the character at first. The point? Maybe another example of this idea becoming flesh. Maybe that's what the perception theme is, our beliefs and thoughts influencing perception and our perceptions influencing reality. This explains everything, EXCEPT THAT CREEPY PINK FUCKING THING! But it explains boomy "becoming real" it explains the symptoms from this nutty disease crafted by this nutty guy becoming real, and then the disease itself becoming lethal for the people outside the home. It explains the researchers treating the disease as real and noting diagnosis even when doctors do not. BTW, why do the doctors treat it as a real disease at all? Are they in on it, or could the disease be real in this universe? But maybe the researchers are studying the effects of perception, of belief. Maybe that's the importance of the clay pizza. It's not that they are in some clay eating fad to cure the disease, they believe they are eating pizza......except that doesn't explain the spitting. Nothing really explains the spitting. Yeah ok, sleep time.
I like Night Mind's idea that the pink guy represents fear/paranoia infiltrating the home. And it apparently stole the brother's bedsheet...! I think the idea that beliefs eventually become, or possibly warp, reality is a good one. Our paranoia and fear can distort our perception of reality. And in this bizarre universe in this series, this could be very literal, and that might be the idea. Their fears literally become real as they grow and gain more emphasis. I'm not so sure that Boomy is Alan instead of the father. I think the father's obsession with the cartoon is representative of something. Either the guy is just strange in what he starts to obsess over, or maybe it's that sort of situation where the father figure in the family ends up being more childlike and not too great at maintaining responsibility as a father figure should. Or maybe the stress of trying to maintain a household is getting to him and he's cracking. Maybe he misses his childhood. But I do think the whole Boomy thing is the father. Just not 100% sure what it means. Finally, the girl falling through the floor. I think it is an excellent metaphor for suicide. At the very least Depression. As for all of the people outside who are also on the floor? Perhaps that is to say that everyone has their battles to fight with. And it wears us all down.
Hey from frqnce ! Here I am 7 years later watching your vid after watching feldup's explanation on "This house has people in it" you both make amazing content !

Because this is the internet.

No it’s when you play The Legend of Zelda non-stop and start cosplaying as Link.

This was my EXACT reaction lmao

Yes
Chris Chan is literally the tragic, real life Forrest Gump. He always ends up on TV and the news and shit.
i think the reason the mom texted the daughter asker her to not be in the bathroom for so long was because the ABC company can’t put cameras in the bathroom and for some reason she wants her daughter to be visible to the company. maybe the reason Madison was just sitting in the bathroom is because she doesn’t want to be filmed, and that could also be the reason that she avoids going home (leaving her mom in the parking lot to hang with her friends)
Yo!!!

@@theadchannel6888 I’m kidding lol
Especially Madison.
It has audio? It was silent for me
Going off of the child neglect theory (which I find very valid) the pink monster could be the personification of neglect. hence why it torments the parents in particular showing them their failures through not providing bed sheets to their son. It also resides in the junk room where items are neglected.
SMART
And it makes sense that this "neglect person" wears the neglected child's bedsheets. It's something that the parents forgot/didn't care about to give their child. But the personification of neglect doesn't forget and it cares unlike the parents. Because it knows how much the kids suffer from it. And it knows how much something like not even owing a set of bedsheets means to the kid. So it wears it as some sort of symbolism maybe? And if we wanna go a little further it can kinda look like a cape. Like how maybe this personification of neglect is trying to act as a hero for these kids. Or maybe it's a character Jackson made himself, a hero that he wants to save them (His imaginary friend that the dad himself is something good for kids?). Based on the logs we know he's made his original characters before. One that was all pink as Madison described.
One of the more interesting conclusions. Personally, I like the concept of it being the personification of paranoia a bit more. But then again, the many different perceptions is a part of the experience.
My name was Emma too
Edit: no longer called that
Not to mention, in two videos in the collection where the parents are talking, we straight up see Dennis getting beat up by two guys in the window behind them, when at least the wife could easily see it.
How about the fact that sonic was present in multiple frames? What does sonic have to do with this?
I keep coming back to this video but if you notice, the pink guy doesn't actually cause any harm. It just exists around the house. It doesn't attack anyone, it doesn't destroy things, but they're still scared of it. Just like Lynks
except something made Madison melt through the floor, and something made all of those kids go face down too
It flashed itself to the parents, that's at least kind of rude
i’m sorry but if that pink man showed up in my house unexplained, i’d be scared shitless regardless of whether or not he is violent or destructive
Pinkman is a hard man to find
Pink dude was even nice enough to mow the lawn for them
This project is so old but one odd note is the email mentioning Boomy and a "pink one", acknowledging Jackson being aware of the pink person. This short film is fucking bonkers
Oh my god you’re right she mentions that there’s no cat that’s all pink in the boomy franchise, meaning Jackson is drawing the pink person in his home and the others don’t know about it
@@ellieh.4297 I'm surprised I haven't heard this mentioned anywhere else, this is a big part of the puzzle missing and contradicts the notion mentioned in this video that the pink person isn't real.

That reminds me an awful lot of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. And towards the end of the video, the house begins to fill with smoke.
Just something to chew on.

This makes more sense when you bring on the fact that carbon monoxide is invisible, it might be we only see because without it, we wouldn’t be able to catch it

Well done, case closed.
Or.. just hear me out.. maybe that's just what AB surveillance wants you to think..
Quite literally.
Several words: obsession leading to neglect. A recurring theme is obsession, paranoia, and child neglect. I think the people and things being face down and stuck is an allegory for being "too far gone" into a delusion or trend, and that madison falling through the floor is symbolic of a descent into madness, possibly death. The pink thing is probably personification of the combination of paranoia and child neglect plaguing the family. This personally reminds me of an extreme religious household or something, one that practices home remedies over actual medical treatment and as a result, the children of the family suffer, believing that they are riddled with something terrible, and the parents punishing or neglecting them because of that, beit sin/"sinful behavior", or lynks. I don't think that's what this is and allegory for, its just reminiscent of it. There is a potential that lynks isnt even important at all and is a red herring, the real issue being the abuse and neglect of the children due to the parent's insanity and obsession, which is overlooked due to everything else going on
I legit was thinking of this.

Sounds like the backstory of a 2009 "faux edgy" deviant art OC drawn on ms paint and whos design changes each time its drawn because the ref sheet that was made was absolute horse apples
I know I'm six years late but I want to share my interpretation. I think this entire art piece is a statement on anxiety. Madeline is literally sinking through the floor. She's sinking down into anxiety about Lynkes disease, which is ironically manifesting her symptoms. This is common with those with anxiety, they often fear situations so intensely that they end up creating and manufacturing memories and events which didn't happen. Anxiety is all about perception, which explains the common theme there. Everyone in the family is a hypochondriac for Lynkes , and this ends up manifesting in their day to day lives, which destroys the family (as we see in the short film.) I don't think we're meant to take everything literally, I think it is a figurative exploration of anxiety and compulsion, and how it can interfere with people's lives. In reality, the true disease is not Lynkes, it's the fear of Lynkes.
as someone who has struggled with hypochondria this video struck a chord with me, from dennis touching his face all the time to the father struggling from symptoms he believes to be real to the mothers constant need to check up on a doctor this reminded me of myself a few years ago
Then what about the kids in the front yard that also start sinking into the ground at the end of the original video?
@@PhenomenalJecthe family not coming outside and the worry that something is going wrong
Ok but "Tom" struggling to control his body by the front door looked amazing. The acting in that scene was so creepy but so interesting.

I thought it was because he only ate pizza at first. Pizza is good, but the human body needs many diverse vitamins and minerals that pizza can't fully provide. Nothing can. That's why there is so many different types of food. Then, I thought, because of they clay pizza, it was malnutrition. At the end, I still think he lost lower mobility because of the lack of the proper vitamins and minerals a human body needs to survive.

Digitab no, he is god
I know I'm HORRIBLY late, but aside from the overlying "Lynx Disease" sub plot, I think this video shows something A LOT more depressing. The daughter. The subject prone IN the kitchen floor.
She'd been lying on the floor for 2 hours, but no one takes any notice. When they do finally notice, they try to blame this on her, first thinking she's crazy, then thinking she's lying and then thinking that she's on drugs. But they never blame themselves. So, we get the horror that ensues: The neglect of everyone in the house, including two younger children. The smoke alarm, screaming above in the kitchen and smoke filling the house. A daughter, trying to reach out to her parents who push her away and blame her for their problems. Parents who clearly can't raise a household pushing weird ideals and horrible teachings onto their children. Elaborating on this point, we can see the forced diet of clay and questionable TV shows "Boomy the Cat" and "Sculptors Clay Ground" that the children have learnt to live with.
A more weird thing to take into account around the end are the seemingly meaningless scenes. The ones with a boy's birthdays involved. If you listen closely (or use the CC like me ;D), you can hear the phrase "but no present for the birthday boy" in one of the scenes. Combine this with the children all lying face down can show us another overlying theme of neglect; a child meant to be given attention and love not given any that ends with a situation no one can point the blame at.
This video isn't just about insane parents. It's about child neglect, and how that can effect those around. Like with the repairman, trying to cut the daughter out of the hole, desperately trying to fix something already broken, before being pulled away by the abuser to try some other insane idea they have.
There's a thing about good horror getting at something taboo or uncomfortable and I'd completely agree that this achieves exactly that. He subverts our expectations of a household ('people' not 'a family'); then, to me, it is about dysfunction in the family unit and, as you say, the idea of not hate exactly, but the lack of love in the family and neglect on the part of the parents. I think when the film is explored from that angle, you get towards this abrasive, shocking final act where we Resnick basically says that familial lovelessness is an epidemic - we see everyone suffering in some form, but the grandmother, who (I think crucially seems more interested in the strange, somewhat inexplicable modelling lore) has apparently finished her parental duties, spends much of the film completely oblivious. Between this and Unedited Footage (where we are also in a very consciously domestic setting), I think Resnick is really talented at presenting family psychodrama in horror tropes.
Don't forget the young boy, Jackson. He has basically no lines and is ignored by his parents. His bed has no sheets and his room is basically just his grandmother's room. Unlike Madison there isn't anything wrong with him (except precocious depression most likely), but his family still treats him like metaphorical chopped liver. Same for the child who is allowed to run outside unattended. The name also plays some prevalence, as those in the house are so dysfunctional they are just a gaggle of people, not necessarily a full family.
@Izzy likes fnaf gotta thumbs up your own comment that's the rule
A perfect explanation as expected of someone with a Succi profile pic
You just turned on a lightbulb in my head. Perhaps this series is also about depression? A lot of the things the parents tell Madison are things many people are told when they try to open up about their depression (Ie. "You're crazy, you're on drugs, you're just looking for attention, etc.") And it would make sense with how Madison is sinking through the floor since, for some, depression makes you want to lay down and do nothing until you die. Her sinking into the floor could also be interpreted as Madison "Rotting away" until she "dies" (when she hits the mattress.) It also makes sense since recorded cases of depression have been rising, especially in our youth. Grandma's oblivious to it all because her generation didn't deal with that stuff at all. The parents, to me, represent current adults who are in denial of their problems and try to bottle it all up. Like how the dad was singing "It's Your Flag" and how the mom is frequently brought to tears "Because a character died." I've often said the same thing to dodge people asking me why I've been crying. Finally, you've got the kids who are hit the hardest simply because they're kids who still don't know how to handle their emotions. In this case, they are being emotionally neglected by their parents who would see their kids having problems as a failure on their part. After Madison falls through the floor, everyone outside the house is laying down like she was. If we do interpret Madison falling as her dying or possibly committing suicide, then everyone outside could represent how, after someone, especially a teen, kills themself, the community as a whole is struck by depression. Almost spreading like an epidemic.
In this theory, things like The Sculptor's Clayground and Lynx Disease represent how society overall treats depression. It's a bad thing that you shouldn't have but no one can say for certain why people get it or how to 'fix' someone who has it. Like the webpage says, "You DON'T want to get it. You DO want to get rid of it!" The Sculptor's Clayground fits very well since taking up a new hobby, or using art to vent, is a common way people cope with depression.
Admittedly, I'm a bit tired so my sleepy brain could be seeing things that aren't there or THHPII is so open to interpretation that you could come up with any theory and it'll work.

I went in skeptical as always but was pleasantly surprised to find that that house DID, in fact, have people in it. Thank you for not betraying my trust Mr. Resnick.

So I'm guessing by Dio's appearance, the house was some weird ass rejected stand.

I was also very curious about this. Thoughts ranging from, "are these people really in the house?", to, "are they just a figment of the house's imagination?", tumbled through my mind. But, alas, these questions and more were clearly answered.

Alan Resnick just wanted to show us his Sonic OC.
The title is so strong. "This House Has People In It" The implication feels like you can assume what you want from the title in a variety of ways, but at its base structure the most important thing the title tells us is they aren't calling the people in the house a "family". Its almost advertising a home but warning us its been infested with people, and at the end of the video one of those people escapes (baby) and we see everyone on the ground.
This Earth Has People In It

Also, the house literally had a person in it. In its floor.
I mean, people bury dead people in the ground, so you're not wrong
no, the people are in it because this bitch is noclipping
Damn right, this planet's absolutely infested with those critters!
Revisiting this so many years later- when I first watched this, it got in my head so bad that I couldn’t sleep. Props to Alan Resnick for creating one of the most inexplicably horrifying things of all time.

No matter how many times I watch this, hearing "after the baby escapes into the woods" always cracks me up. You say that so nonchalantly it's hilarious because the tone and delivery matches the content of the madness going on xD

@@deathryche damn speedrunners!

Okay, so, there's one really important thing about Jackson that cat daddy totally ignores here. In the text message from Madison to a friend talking about Jackson's Boomy drawings, she says "I'm pretty sure there's no character who's all pink."
All pink?
*ALL* *PINK?*
Where have we seen an all pink character in all this stuff? The bedsheet-wearing pink ghoulish thing, of course! And if those _are_ Jackson's bedsheets, doesn't it make sense that he might have seen it?
Perhaps Jackson has a deeper connection to this than we think. His birthday party gets interrupted by his older sister and at the end of it all, the partygoers appear to be in rough shape. A kid would be awfully upset if their birthday party was ruined, right? It would be a SAD DAY. And his BEDSHEETS are missing. Pretty significant words, right?
There has to be something deeper behind all of this.
Jackson is more involved than we think.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Manigeitora also he was the only one not saluting during the flag song
I hate that you scared me like that,
but it was wonderful.
I think that pink creature plays into the theme of perception. Jackson’s perception is of his imaginary, play-pretend world with cartoon characters (like any kid has). That’s why Jackson thinks Boomy is real. Pink creature is a personification of the monster under the bed, because it stole his sheets

This probably won't get seen in the piles of comments, but to make an observation on the clayground subject:
The host mentions an ex named Sam, who left him after he committed a crime. After watching the video back and some notes on the site, it's possible either this Sam was a gifted musician that he never felt good enough for, or Sam isn't really his ex, and Sam is attracted to a musician, that the host killed.
"This here is a piano wire that a more musically gifted person could use to turn a wooden gourd"
"Lynks gave me perfect pitch"
It's entirely possible that the clayground host made up this lynks narrative to cope with the fact he isn't talented enough for this Sam (and the fact he's nuts)
There was also a clay sculpture called SAMMY right? which kind of also feels like he’s obsessed with this Sam
Me: Wow I can’t wait to watch this video find out why this girl is sinking into the floor

T Thung correct.
Surprised this video contains no mention of the fact that almost all of Anne & Tom's phone calls to each other end abruptly with one or both of them screaming in terror at the top of their lungs for no apparent reason. Are they seeing the pink monster when this happens? It seems like they can't actually see it most of the time, but maybe sometimes they can, and it's so horrifying that their brain blocks it out after the encounter ends?
And another interesting thing about the logs: repeated references to something called "Room X". I don't think that room is ever actually shown, but it is reference numerous times, including a 1 second video we can't see where Jackson goes in there. Could it be the room that Tom can't seem to picture in his head? Is it the cluttered garage where the monster lives?
That was my biggest question!
@@sam5389 I haven't seen references to room X myself, mainly because I haven't looked at anything other than the original 11 minute clip, but I wonder if room X might be where all the camera feeds are going to, the surveillance room.

Equv .0 i can't unhear it
Dman009 EVERYBODY DO THE FLOP!
The flag scene made me more uncomfortable than some big-budget horror films. Something about it is so surreal and sad, and I can't place it at all.
I thought it was fucking hilarious
To me, it was all three, but mostly funny.
It's funny, I'm more just morbidly fascinated. But if you really stop and think - yeah, it's pretty sad, and...very, very strange. Everyone salutes. It's not just that the guy is doing something socially inappropriate, everyone else goes along with it at the end, as if it were...normal.
They're all crazy.
okay this is gonna be a lengthy response but this is my take on the project.
like this video says, lynks is not a physical disease, it's a disease of paranoia. once you've heard of it, you become paranoid that you've contracted it, and you start acting as though you have the symptoms even when you don't. it's the placebo effect. essentially you're a hypochondriac and because you've convinced yourself you have the disease, you subconsciously start to act as though you do. you hear about new symptoms of the disease - through the newsletter, for example - and then suddenly you happen to have those symptoms too. tom loses motor control of his body not because of any physical toll the disease has taken on him, but because he's convinced himself he has it and his body starts reacting accordingly.
i believe that the point of the project is that us audience members become infected by lynks too - we get swept into the paranoia of trying to understand this disease. we get "infected" by watching the first 11 minute video, and once the seed has been planted, we start looking for answers. just like it sends the family members into hysteria, it sends us audience members scrambling to make sense of it all. the more we look into the clues, the videos, the audio recordings, the text files, the more confused we become and the more desperate we are to find an answer. each clue we find brings us no closer to understanding what is truly going on, and that's because there is nothing to understand, there is no answer or solution. this causes us, as well as the family members, to go insane as we look for "links" - or clues - that will lead us to understand what lynks disease is.
alan commented something about finding an R. i believe the point of alan commenting this was to send us off searching for more clues again - clues that won't lead us anywhere. maybe there is an R somewhere, maybe there isn't. regardless, it won't bring us any closer to understanding lynks. and that's the point, because there is nothing to discover. lynks isn't real, it's just paranoia and the idea that a seed planted in your head can cause you to make something out of nothing. alan is trying to mess with us again to drive us further into paranoia.
the thing that i think really supports this conclusion is the fact that all of the people behind this project included random easter eggs and sometimes the other people on the project wouldn't even know about them. if the people working on the project weren't aware of all the easter eggs put into the film, clearly they don't serve a significant purpose in helping us identify what's going on. i guess you could call the easter eggs / clues "red herrings." the easter eggs / clues are meaningless - they aren't meant to lead you to any sort of conclusion, they're just there to give you the illusion that there IS a solution to find, when in reality there is not. we've become infected by lynks disease because of our frenzy in searching for the meaning of it all and trying to understand what lynks is, just like the family members. just look at how much time this guy spent looking into horse apples!
of course, this theory does lead us to some questions though. if lynks isn't real, why does it have material consequences on the family members' lives? why does madison sink through the floor into the basement? why is there a pink thing occupying the house? as stated in the video, these supernatural occurrences could all be a metaphor for the paranoia caused by the family trying to understand lynks and by their concern that this supposed disease will hurt them. and what about the cartoon cat? perhaps the ridiculous parts of the film are meant to symbolize the hysteria of it all. i don't have all the answers, but i'd love to hear what other people think.
hey you're vert smart
the kid draws the pink person, and no one else knows about them, there is something else, maybe not deeper but it is there, just need to search for more clues
holy fuck
that probably took you 2 hours to type that
Isn't there an R missing from the birthday banner? Maybe that's the R?

An interesting thing about the lynks in the water is that it sounds like the many conspiracies around water, esp tap water. One example is the worry about fluoride in the water (even though it’s super watered down and just helps your teeth).
There’s also the idea that I don’t think you mentioned, Tom not only loves Boomie just as much as his son does, he might dress up as him because he wants to be his son’s hero. Tom is a man who clearly is going through a crisis and who wants to rid himself of a fake disease as well as all of his imperfections. Tom wants to act out being his son because he wants his youth back. Though, at Jackson’s birthday party he is in tears telling him “I’m so sorry I really wanted you to have a good birthday.” Or something to that affect. He really worries for his son and he wants him to be happy. Maybe his obsession with Boomie was brought on by a desire to be a good father when he is clearly a bit to off of his rocker to be as attentive as a father needs to be.
I saw other people talking about how it might be about child neglect so maybe him trying to get rid of his imperfections is also him trying to forget about how I’m he used to neglect his son, maybe thats why he acts the way he does 🤷🏽♀️
Starting around 1:22:15 he does talk about how he doesn't want to get glasses because only "old men" wear glasses
0451 is actually a very common code used in immersive Sim games like Deus Ex and Bioshock. It's usually the first code a player might have to use on a vault or door, and is something of an Easter egg used by a developer to signify a game's design philosophy being that of an immersive Sim.
I don't know if it was intentional at all here but I thought that was a cool detail.
0451 is actually an easter egg referencing the book Fahrenheit 451, which takes place in a dystopia, similar to some games that use it.

1:11:03 After re-watching this video over the years, I think "head collapse" might be another term for a mental breakdown in this universe. It could be called this to give mental breakdowns a horrifying connotation in that they're more dangerous than they actually are. That's just my take on it, though. I could be wrong.
I think child neglect ties in as well. You've got Madison, left on the ground for two hours before she actually starts sinking through the floor. Then Jackson, the birthday boy, who is left alone or ignored for the majority of the video, has to share a room with the grandma, and who has no bed sheet. And of course, the baby, who--after being passed off to the oblivious grandma--is immediately forgotten and left to crawl out the back yard to who knows where.
Like the parents are so caught up in their anti-Lynks mania that they fail to notice or recognize the very real issues facing their children.
Wtf this is from the script of the video you idiot
@@mo0njelly lol I noticed that too

What Wham City Comedy made will never be matched, it is all so uniquely silly and weird with just the right edge of creepiness to make it truly absurd.
One hour and 40 minutes later and I still don't have any idea why the daughter phased through the floor.
Well if we go by the video's explanation: At some point, Madison became convinced of something like "I bet I could phase through the floor and they wouldn't notice." The reality warping effect promptly made that happen.

Forming arbitrary associations that ultimately lead to a conclusion that creates a self-induced paranoia. Basically, feeling a little unwell, reading a Web MD article, and concluding that you now have a terrible disease. You're linking unrelated ideas together and coming up with a fearful conclusion that you ultimately obsess over. And that is the "Links Disease."
brilliant
+Fyrsiel ye
+Fyrsiel the equivalent using tumblr to self diagnose yourself with headmates
+Fyrsiel Maybe you guys are onto something. Just as "unedited" had a very simple idea or theme once you put together all the bizarre seemingly random pieces (antidepresants causing murder suicide) this one could be hypochondria and self obsession causing damaging introversion. I left the room for a bit and did some other stuff and the idea came to me, I was so bugged by how little sense the "falling through the floor" thing made.
Then it just fucking hit me. I asked myself what we knew about that girl, since knowing SOMETHING would be a clue. We knew nothing. Why? Nobody seemed to talk about her, nobody seemed to have conversations with her. She could have been dead and the first instinct for several hours was that she was just faking for attention. She was phasing through the world because she was gradually ceasing to become a part of it. The boy was still the subject of attention, but it is clear he would be in the same situation eventually as the baby takes center focus and his neglect goes to an even greater extreme.
It explains so much, like the otherwise weird "when she falls through, everyone tell her we love her" bit. His revelation was that they were losing her, so the last ditch effort was to make her feel validated as soon as the opportunity came. We see two possibilities (she falls through the mattress and then the world itself) or she lands on the mattress and everyone tells her they love her and she is in their field of perception again.
Good or bad ending? No, both are bad endings. Clearly this is a metaphor for suicide, the family thinks she is "faking it for attention" until they are clearly losing her for real. How does the family react? They take the mattress (which already has no bedsheets) from their slightly less neglected child, in order to save the daughter.
So if this is metaphor, it could be presented in this way, the family sees that her suicidal behavior is not an act and they finally focus on her and give her the love and attention she needs, but in the process take love and attention away from the boy. We already see him acting completely depressed and uncaring of everything. He will be the next to phase through the floor. Why the people at the party too? No fucking clue, makes about as much sense as the pink freaking monster.
Maybe it's not suicide but "phasing out" of their lives. The daughter was "drifting away" but the entire affair or just the seeming rudeness and lack of interest in the guests causes them to start fading away from the family as well.
Yeah, that one has a lot of holes in it too. Still trying to make sense of this. I can't help but mention this mind splinter that's bugging me. The boomcat thing. Obviously sonic, right? Ok maybe the actor playing the "thing" is the dad, but what if that is just because they had to reuse actors?
Yes the dad's interest in the cat could be seen as a clue to this secret, and I find it the most likely, but it does seem worth noting that we know of another "alan" character who likes the color blue, who we have seen eat garbage, who we know could potentially be violent (the mother's concern of the cartoon being "violent" seems a little out of nowhere given the clues we have about the cartoon but could be a clue of the characters identity) and who is childlike enough to have an obsession with such a cartoon character. Yeah, you probably see where I am going with that one. I couldn't help having that thought as soon as I saw the costume, and this character roaming from house to house eating up all the garbage.
But yes, the dad does make far more sense, but there is another thing that bothers me. First the kid has the interest in boom, then the dad has a slight interest (I remember parts of the song) which clearly grows, and then we see the wife start to build an interest even though she dislikes the character at first. The point? Maybe another example of this idea becoming flesh. Maybe that's what the perception theme is, our beliefs and thoughts influencing perception and our perceptions influencing reality.
This explains everything, EXCEPT THAT CREEPY PINK FUCKING THING! But it explains boomy "becoming real" it explains the symptoms from this nutty disease crafted by this nutty guy becoming real, and then the disease itself becoming lethal for the people outside the home. It explains the researchers treating the disease as real and noting diagnosis even when doctors do not. BTW, why do the doctors treat it as a real disease at all? Are they in on it, or could the disease be real in this universe?
But maybe the researchers are studying the effects of perception, of belief. Maybe that's the importance of the clay pizza. It's not that they are in some clay eating fad to cure the disease, they believe they are eating pizza......except that doesn't explain the spitting. Nothing really explains the spitting.
Yeah ok, sleep time.
I like Night Mind's idea that the pink guy represents fear/paranoia infiltrating the home. And it apparently stole the brother's bedsheet...!
I think the idea that beliefs eventually become, or possibly warp, reality is a good one. Our paranoia and fear can distort our perception of reality. And in this bizarre universe in this series, this could be very literal, and that might be the idea. Their fears literally become real as they grow and gain more emphasis.
I'm not so sure that Boomy is Alan instead of the father. I think the father's obsession with the cartoon is representative of something. Either the guy is just strange in what he starts to obsess over, or maybe it's that sort of situation where the father figure in the family ends up being more childlike and not too great at maintaining responsibility as a father figure should. Or maybe the stress of trying to maintain a household is getting to him and he's cracking. Maybe he misses his childhood. But I do think the whole Boomy thing is the father. Just not 100% sure what it means.
Finally, the girl falling through the floor. I think it is an excellent metaphor for suicide. At the very least Depression. As for all of the people outside who are also on the floor? Perhaps that is to say that everyone has their battles to fight with. And it wears us all down.
