I don't blame /pol/. They are a symptom, not the cause. The cause is that all the creative posters left or got forced out for various reasons (such as overractive moderators only concerned with keeping things "on-topic" deleting all the good threads) leaving only the raw unfiltered trash that had always been there but now is all that remains. That is what happened on /tg/ in any case, don't know much about the history of other boards.
I like to think that this was their motivational song of triumph during their fight against reddit in the Tribes:Ascend battles. 3-2 never forget the day /v/ kicked ass at 140 ping.
Reddit: "Let's create a finely-tuned near-perfect team to dominate Tribes:Ascend." 4chan: "Hey, any of you bitch ass cucks ever play this game?" ....and then they won.

I only discovered The Protomen about a year ago. But I've only discovered this last month and I am incredibly jealous I was involved. You guys did a stella job. I wish I could arrange something like this to show The Protomen love.
"Stu, what are you doing?" "Saving my city..." "It's four o'clock in the morning, why on earth are you saving the city?" "Because there's no more pudding."
"Stu, what are you doing?" "Singing Protomen with a 4chan board." "It's 4 in the morning! Why in the world are you singing Protomen with a 4chan board?" "Because THIS CITY'S SLEEPING LIKE A SOLDIER TRAPPED INSIDE OF AN IRON LUNG"
It's not /letter/, /v/ is the video game board on 4chan, /a/ is the anime board etc etc. Just a bunch of people from those boards got together and made these.
megahellreaper I’m aware of what they are, but I’m assuming there’s more than just a /v/, /a/ board on 4chan? so I’m just generalizing it by putting /letter/, thank you for the explanation though
Progression of a recent music discovery journey I have had: This -> The original version of this song -> The Protomen -> Protomen/TWRP crossover -> TWRP -> TWRP/Ninja Sex Party crossover -> Ninja Sex Party. It has been a wild ride.

"Stu, What are you doing?"
"lighting up the night."
"It's four o'clock in the morning, why on earth are you lighting up the night?"
"I lost control of my city"
"Here's your vengeance pudding, Protoman"
"No that's ok, there are no heroes left in man, Dr. Light."
*cuts to a shot outside Dr. light's lab* "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
*cuts to a shot outside Dr. Light's lab*
HOPE RIDES ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE
This shit made me laugh so much.
"Stu,what are you doing?"
"Making a Rock Opera."
"Its Four in the morning, why are you making a Rock opera?"
"To take control of my life."
"protoman why on earth are you lighting the night up at 4am"
"because i've got this feeling like my veins are filled with nothin but gasoline."
Draupnir Foamybeard Joe is who i imitate... i want to be as strong as the city that took me
go back to /o/
It's Joe who's lighting up the night, Protoman wasn't made yet at this point in the timeline GOD
don't take the joke too literally, friend
"Raul, what are you doing?"
"Making rock operas."
"It's mid to late 2010. Why on earth are you making rock operas?"
"Because there's no heroes left man."
I just saw someone get banned for a 4am thread.
There are no heroes left in /v/.
***** I blame Tumblr
Day B This god damn Vivian James and Zoe Quinn shit needs to stop
***** To be fair to reddit, they do know enough not to fuck with 4chan. The same cannot be said of tumblr.
ShadowSnifit 2 weeks later and it's still burning strong. The ending of all this shit should be interesting though.
ekirbo well, its all over now, we left for a better place
/v/ can be the shittiest board, but they have the best singers
I hate nintenyearolds too.
Any of these /whateverthefuckboard/ sings are pretty good actually. Probably just because only the GOOD singers volunteer to sing.
***** I agree with you so much, I came in excepting shit but what I got was an ear full of bliss *DAMMIT /v/!*
DETHREAPER11 /mu/ is really bad at singing
Koen Phyland >feelsbadman.png
It actually sounds like the citizens of the city are singing. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I prefer this version to the original
god im just imagining a biker gang of people with joe helmets
There are no heroes left in citizens
WAIT THEY FUCKING SANG THIS?
HOLY SHIT THIS IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL TIME NOW
I'm one of the singers checking in 12 years later.
I'm still shocked my contribution didn't ruin it.
Even years after the event, I find myself coming back to this video frequently. Something about the sense of camaraderie, tied with the lyrics and meaning of the original song, is deeply compelling.
Or maybe I’m just a weirdo.
Love you, /v/. Come back to us.
I feel the same. Hearing everyone sing together like this is heartwarming
lmao what is the context here??????
There is no pudding left in man.
You can kill the board /v/. But /v/idya is eternal. Remember that Moot. /v/irgins don't die. They re-spawn.
+Protoman nice facebook quote
This board made us. This board ate us alive.
somehow hearing this being sung by a crowd gives it so much more impact
fuck it let's start a revolt
Shine on you crazy diamonds.
Damn /v/, this actually doesn't sound half bad
Fat people have lovely voices. Pavarotti and Meat Loaf for instance.
+wesleyfilms Haha, holy shit
TRIGGERED
they sing better than /mu/
I’ve never heard this song and if you told me this was the real song I would believe it
That guy who tries to be Snake during Light's part is the greatest
Night Status: Lit Up
6 years later
Yup still lit up
An artifact from the golden age of 4Chan.
@@everydayuntilyoulikeit1501 There's a difference between "Enjoyable, so bad it's good" shit and "Cringe, just horrible" shit.
/pol/ will lead us into a new golden age, just take its hand, give it control, and believe.
Wolf of the Mountain II ha! Reddit user.
Wolf of the Mountain II rule twenty of the Internet, libtard.

vjm3 I have become convinced that 4chan is just condensed humanity. It’s raw, disgusting, and so very powerful.
@@gadellomagnollo1810 would make sense as to why the media depicts them as evil, because when you see something ugly in the mirror you want to get rid of it
TSonicBoom Plays but sometimes that ugliness is just a part of you. You can’t replace a flawed being, only refine what is already there.
Which is why content like this exists in the first place
Stu, it's four o'clock in the morning, why on earth are you making a rock opera?
Stu: cause I want to light up the night
Because we are the dead.
Because there are no heroes left in man
I listen to this every night before bed.
So that my dreams will LIGHT UP THE NIGHT.
Checking in from 2022 after seeing the Protomen again. This video is still, and will always be, one of my favorites.
This is surprisingly good
Don't turn your back on the pudding.
4am General
The overlay of voices gives a good resonance that I like a lot.
I swear for last 3 years since i've found this version I hear "it's four o'fuck in the morning"
This video appearing at this moment in my life.
This is the best thing in this contextual moment
Time flies, but this /v/ sings is eternal.
It’s enough to make a man think there are still hero’s in man.
I've watched this weekly ever since last July.
That's what I call devotion
Still going?
Behold, the /v/oices of the patirots!
Good meme. Underrated meme. I thank you for your meme.
No more pudding.
We'll build our own!
Make*
I only discovered The Protomen about a year ago. But I've only discovered this last month and I am incredibly jealous I was involved. You guys did a stella job. I wish I could arrange something like this to show The Protomen love.
I hate how good this is
+Boloricealt
lol at /v/ hating things for being good too. when does it end?
I can hear the pudding.
"Stu, what are you doing?"
"Saving my city..."
"It's four o'clock in the morning, why on earth are you saving the city?"
"Because there's no more pudding."
Accurate representation of making the mother of all omelettes
/v/ sings a lot better than /a/.
Imagine, all that shouting into their mic pays off.
Well tbf, v spends their time at magfest, and a spends their time at katsucon.
The quality of the singing doesn't matter, it's the fun you have singing with your fellow autists
But not as good as /o/
And better than /mu/
This...takes the goddamn cake. Jesus.
There are no heroes left in man, even in 2018.
Yep, ma dude.
I salute these anti-heros
"Here's your Rock Opera, Zero."
"Oh that's okay Uncle Protoman, I don't need it now."
".............
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
all i can do is just stare at it....it's like my brain exploded of everything i love and created some sort of awesome video.
This is ... sublime. Wonderfull. Beautiful.
Even now there is pudding for man
I pity the dead that can no longer light up the night.
Still a masterpiece
it starts weak but somewhere halfway it's fucking amazing
Shine on you glorious spergs.
The video is great. The song is great. The singing is great. Everything is perfect! PS. like your avatar, here's a sub for ya!
"Yeah, how'd you like that?!?"
"No more pudding."
"Stu, what are you doing?" "Singing Protomen with a 4chan board." "It's 4 in the morning! Why in the world are you singing Protomen with a 4chan board?" "Because THIS CITY'S SLEEPING LIKE A SOLDIER TRAPPED INSIDE OF AN IRON LUNG"
The No More Pudding at the end always gets me.
never thought this song could get better but it did
I love this more than anyone would know.
I'm on the wings of hype
What happened to the good times
2016 happened
@@WeenieMuffin also covid and recent war.

It's good to be back
This. This i enjoy.
This is beautiful.
"stirs alone." Hahaha I kind of love you.
if someone has "/v/ sings the hounds" saved let me know. I cant find it on youtube anymore. thanks
Maaaaaaaaaaaan, I wanted to listen to that today.

I have lost control of my life.
I've lost control of the night.
I feel like this song should of been on the soundtrack to "Kung Fury".
I feel like this is the kind of aesthetic Kung Fury was aiming for, but it fell completely short of the mark.
When /v/ takes back their board from reddit and tumblr.
MUH CITY
Here for my yearly listen.
Here again.
I'll be looking for this again next year, bro.
This pudding needs you now.
I bloody love this.
These /letter/ videos are the most interesting time capsules I’ve ever laid eyes upon
It's not /letter/, /v/ is the video game board on 4chan, /a/ is the anime board etc etc. Just a bunch of people from those boards got together and made these.

I’m aware of what they are, but I’m assuming there’s more than just a /v/, /a/ board on 4chan? so I’m just generalizing it by putting /letter/, thank you for the explanation though
You just say board dumbass
oh he's wearing 'protoman's mask lol took a minute
Damn, the song really resonates lately.
I miss the lads from /v/ dearly. Good times, good times.
this is so good i cant even
Progression of a recent music discovery journey I have had: This -> The original version of this song -> The Protomen -> Protomen/TWRP crossover -> TWRP -> TWRP/Ninja Sex Party crossover -> Ninja Sex Party.
It has been a wild ride.
These /letter/ videos are a damn out of body experience
Funnily enough. My progression of music was the exact opposite
*You sold it to the Devil and how, and it's gone to hell and you wonder how.*
"Stu it's 4 o'clock in the morning. Why is there a mob outside?"
"I lost control of my robot."
"Brian, why are you playing Dance Ex Machina at 4 AM?"
That song give me a asperger syndrome.
for real
well memed
Perfect in every way.
"Protoman, why are you launching fireworks?"
"It's new years. It's time to light up the night."
It’s four o’clock in the morning.
Why am I unironically attracted to these men.
Because they light up our nights with veins filled with nothing but gasoline
4chan has amazing taste in music, kek
Well, anything that is not /v/, ironically enough. /v/ only likes music that is either ear-piercing or so obscure you can't find the lyrics online.
Welcome to four years ago.
Always amazed me that all boards except /mu/ manages to make good music lmao
R.I.P 4am threads.
I-I love you too, Anon-chan!
Just saw these guys live last night, had to revisit this
The mods are asleep
Quick, make pudding
Havent heard this song in a minute
Stu stirs alone.
Here comes the pudding.
Like clockwork
This video 10 years old
I shed a tear
>mfw there are no heroes left in man
y-you too
i tip my fedora to all of you
board is dead, anon...
