I imagine how bad could i be would be about the oncler earlier on while biggering was him at the prime of the business

Anyone else CAN get how bad can i be out of your head?

Thank you for taking your time to make this very important video. I wish there was more content like this!

"promosm"

I hear a lot of people say that they like to imagine that How Bad Can I Be is what the Onceler told and Biggering is what really happened, but what I like to imagine is that after how bad can I be Biggering happened but Onceler left it out.

It's ironic they got rid of this song so they can bigger.

biggering didn't deserve this man

Biggering is seriously a iconic word from the lorax, Like BFDI's number 2763.

5:15 what? That's such a stretch ...AND THAT'S IN YOUR SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT?! otherwise great

I'm like both song to be honest

"How Bad Can I Be" is more subtle with the slippery slope message. The main line is an innocent question at the start. "He's just one dude. What could he actually do?" The ending lines twist it, as the chorus repeats it behind lines like "And the PR people are lying!". "Oh," you say, "he could do _that!"_ "Biggering" is _very_ blatant; see the line "Though the biggering is triggering more biggering!"

This Movie was oranginally going to be very different but since the staff that designed the oranginal can not choose to make it a movie but it would be cool and made a movie just using the scraped clips and songs

I see it ass: "how bad can i be" the justification" and "Biggering" the truth

I feel like biggering happened after how bad can I be, considering the fact how he was already evil. HBCIB was the start of him being evil, and in biggering he was already evil.

team biggering reply here

I like this analysis, but I think the primary reason biggering wasnt used is because its a depressing rock song. I dont think ive ever seen a down beat, depressing rock song in a kids movie. How bad can I be fits better in the movie, but biggering is so much more meaningful, the lorax just wasnt the place for it.

great video thank you!!

I think that ideally the movie would keep both songs, with Biggering coming later and How Bad Can I Be modified to have a bit less of Biggering in it. It would be made longer and fit more things between them to keep them not too close together, but I honestly think the idea of having a reprise of How Bad Can I Be in a different context would be really powerful. In HBCIB we see the Onceler just throwing around nonsense, this misreading of "survival of the fittest" that's made to excuse things like eugenics and imperialism, disconnected from what's actually going on, like some conservative propaganda account on Twitter or a PragerU video, maybe the Onceler kind of seeing the writing on the wall and trying to deny it. But then in a later song we see him not only reaffirming those same beliefs but DOUBLING DOWN on the harm he's causing in the name of those beliefs. We see what they actually translate to in practice (you should see the storyboard for this scene, it's great), and suddenly those words get a new meaning and feel different, and it's terrifying, in a good way. We see just how dangerous those ideas are and how monstrous the Onceler actually is, which after he previously seemed problematic but still cute and tame enough is shocking. How bad can the Onceler be? _Very_. Unfortunately this an animated feature film aimed at kids and intended on making the most profits possible, and now a three-hour stage musical :(

biggering is a more powerful song

biggering better

Was top ironic

Hell of a school assignment

6:27 Twitter vs Mr beast

How babble can i be

How babble can i be

It's a shame the music in the background is almost the same volume as your voice while you speak over it. I can barely focus on what you're saying or hear it a some points

While I don’t mind How Bad Can I Be, I absolutely love Biggering. It sounds like it came out of a rock opera and the lyrics have this melancholy feel to them. Like the Onceler is reflecting on how only caring about the results and the bottom line got him to where he is now…

Everyone says this, but the meaning clearly changes by the latter half of the song. He starts off innocent, then he realizes he can get more power. The meaning changes from "Oh, how bad can I be? I'm just cutting down some trees." to "How bad can I be before someone stops me?"

I thought you had much more subscribers! 200k at least! What the hell? Why is nobody subscribing?

“How bad can I be” gives “oops I accidentally joined the Italian mafia” vibes

I personally have never wanted money

My theory is that “How bad can I be” is what The Once-ler told Ted but “Biggering” is what actually happened.

🤓☝️

FARD

Remember I saw a theory where how bad can i be is what the onceler told ted and biggering is what actually happened

200th sub

I think the song “cuckoo” by Rob Cantor is better then both of these. Personally I’d say the onceler could absolutely pull it off ❤

To me "How Bad Can I Be" feels like Oncelers perspective, but "Biggering" is everyone elses (or just the Lorax's) perspective (But hey, thats just my interpretation :P)

They made a song so true that now we can use it as evidence against their questionable decisions

With the similarities, I think Biggering could've been used as a darker reprise of How Bad Can I be? HBCIB would show his naive start and slow descent into greed, where is no longer about "How is this that I'm doing bad?" and more "How bad can I truly become?". Then Biggering would've made it clear that he has completely fallen victim to his own pride and now knows what he's doing is bad but he'll keep on doing it anyways to "survive".

Biggering is what I like to imagine what was kept from Ted, while secretly the onecler kept biggering locked up in his brain, he's been keeping from the world, only he knows about, the TRUE ending to his rampage on trees

bro you need way more subs

I like to imagine Biggering is what actually happened and How Bad Can I Be is what The Onceler told Ted happened

I feel like this is just confermation of the message. That corporate greed has mutch the same as the lorax drowned it out with noise.

I like to think that how bad can i be is what the oncler thinks hes doing and biggering is what is actually happening

Love hearing the contrast between the happy and upbeat “how bad can i be” against the depressing and rock “biggering”

I like to think biggering is what happened well How bad can I be? is what the Once-ler told Ted

how the heck do you only have 125 subs you deserve way more this is amazing

I really wish we had gotten that slightly darker original version of the movie they clearly wanted to make

Biggering should have been the song used instead of how bad can I be
