[@SpectralArchivist]

Can we talk about the fact that he's not just in a giant box, he's in a giant box with "Sing Along STUPENDIUM" "Really sings!" written on the front, and an artistic rendering of him on the side? They went through the effort of making their own toy marketing designs and putting it onto the box to really sell ( pun unintended, but well accepted) the effect.

[@scarystories1800]

Be a man. Intend your puns!

[@SpectralArchivist]

@@scarystories1800 You right. Lemme fix that.

[@psycless]

You should really watch his channel, all the art is done by him I believe.

[@jacketofdiamonds]

Plus, "They really sing!" So it's kind of hard to miss their pronouns. *cough*

[@bobbingi201]

on one side of the box (might not be visible in the video but he released a snippet of the bts on his second channel) it has the first verse of "The Fine Print"

[@daggeranddoctor]

I imagine Stupes just walks around all day with at least one of his songs constantly stuck in his head.

[@Dragon7398]

So basically, they're like the rest of us. :D

[@darksunrise957]

Why do you think he makes the songs? It's to pull them out of his head and into ours XD

[@skybluehoodie]

another thing, i like to think he just puts the costume on randomly just because

[@monke7919]

I like to think he's one of those people who get multiple songs stuck in there head so they mix them together so he'll like mix the lyrics

[@GaliantSilverhawk]

I believe he does, and also has whatever new song he's going to make in between

[@FrosnPls]

There actually *was* an effect of sorts on the teeth - IIRC Stupes said they used costume teeth paint to give them that unnaturally white colouring to add to the whole 'toy' look!

[@kizukun001]

Was thinking that, really stood out on the "other limbs" segment, which gave it a more uneasy feeling.

[@Atzy]

@@kizukun001 I keep getting an like... uncomfortable sense that he has subtly more teeth than a person should, but it could just be that as you say they stand out so starkly. A dental uncanny valley effect.

[@diypropsmodels7064]

Huggy isn’t a costume, it was a handmade puppet

[@thatoneguy9582]

16:04 I'm so glad that the "Stuart Pendium" joke landed so hard for someone else and that my sense of humour isn't completely terrible

[@Tailzy26]

I got a good chuckle out of that too. loved it.

[@lauramarriner1805]

Yea same 😆 lol

[@yogurtofthemultiverse2200]

It made me giggle but it didn't seem like a break out laughing kind of joke lmao

[@theperfectburger9892]

It also says he works in the r&d section for audio and music

[@mythicanakura]

That line near the end, "they'll put you in a casket/ but you won't be mint in box" feels like a flip on how earlier on he mentioned how abandoning the toys made their casings into caskets; just like the linear flip from the softer earlier feel to the sheer murderous intensity later on with flipping a line two acts later.

[@shadowman484]

Also, the line "So take a tour to place where all the dreams have gone to die" 19:20 is refference to starting lyric "Come take a tour behind the doors where dreams are made." 5:49

[@Pinkels]

14:11 It's a toy you get in the game, the hands extend to allow you to grab items, flip switches and complete alot of puzzles. It's kind of the big thing of Poppy Playtime that separates it from other Horror games such as Bendy.

[@monke7919]

If I remember correctly Specifically fnaf batim and poppy playtime helped popularize the mascot horror genre (especially fnaf and batim) with fnaf being the one that popularized hidden lore and established some of the tropes like jumpscares or the animal mascots then bendy established the common trend of mascot horror games being "walking simulators" with hidden secrets inside and poppy playtime popularizing the use of gimics as sale points (bendy also did it with the axe and later the seeing glass but poppy playtime is the one that turned it into a common trope of the genre with the graboack inspiring things like the drone in Garten of ban ban) also if I remember correctly hello neighbor also played a part in the genre being formed and if I'm not mistaken pastra was the one to give the genre its name on one of his videos

[@GrahamChapman]

Personally, I feel that the choreography in this performance isn't getting enough love and attention. Stupes really managed to capture those stilted, janky movements that a lot of mechanical retro toys had back in the day.

[@Insaneian]

I mentioned his "popping and locking" movements, like he was doing the robot, but yes, his movement throughout is amazing. Not to mention the CAMERA movement. It's subtle, but in the shots with the FIVE Stupendium dolls all playing and singing, the camera is pushing in slowly. That means that camera (I'm assuming a computer-assisted rig) had to do that move FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES. Amazing

[@GrahamChapman]

@@Insaneian Quite so... And, well, I did bring it up because you broke the ice on that subject first, so...

[@DisKorruptd]

@@Insaneian I'd assumed the zoom in was done digitally after putting all 5 sing-along-stupendiums into the same shot

[@mariatourino9545]

And not only that, but they don't blink for the entire thing

[@debilus7921]

I love so much this line : "All we know is how to play Then you took the play away" It just shows why the toys went crazy like that :D

[@Surtak]

The vocal fry on that last line was hecking GNARLY

[@angelinasurzhyk6655]

YES! Just goes to show Stupes could've *easily* been a rock singer if they wanted to😂

[@cindermoth3421]

Aye, it really makes me hope we'll get a song some time where he uses it more often.

[@xdrakken4710]

Sounds like the song called Beggin, it's amazing and I never expected stup to do it

[@cyberpupplays]

If look at the name tag that says 'Stuart Pendium' and listen to the lines, it's heavily implying that Stuart became Singalong Stupendium. Very cool!

[@michaelluzier7683]

Ohh, he’s the poppy playtime of his song

[@JustSomePasserby]

What struck me most is how this song is constantly building. Every verse adds energy and something instrumental to the one before.

[@Sorta8]

@@monke7919 I wasn't sure if you already inspected the other controversy ( considering the 6 days ago thing ), so it wouldn't really make sense for me to explain this thing. It's hard to explain in a short manner, but they (EnchantedMob & someone else) had bullied an animator ( who was also their fan ) after he didn't join them, which led to him getting messages along the lines of him "never reaching success if he didn't join" to the point where he stopped making content and needed a bit of therapy. That guy also had a concept for an indie game which had quite a bit of similarities to the later announced Poppy Playtime (from steam description to some story concepts), which felt like it was made in a way to spite him. They recently made something like an apology, but it felt corporate af, included multiple lies and just tried to shift the blame from them.

[@kizukun001]

That was one of the most polite fear response I've seen to a jumpscare.

[@maniax-X]

I love how stupendium became King Candy at the end, just out if no where. I'm still waiting for him to reveal that he's Turbo.

[@Mark73]

Ed Wynn, actually. A comedian from the 1930s and 40s. King Candy was based on him. Among other things, he did the voice of the Mad Hatter in Disney's Alice in Wonderland. He's become something of a comedic archetype.

[@peterdaviesracing]

Turbo? The snail?

[@CannedWolfMeat]

It took me a few listens to realise that "don't think toys have got things to say then / look at these points of articulation" was actually a really good play on words and not just a nice sounding rhyme

[@Calimbandil87]

So now we know from Stupes that toys (this), cartoons (bendy), chuck-e-cheese (FNAF) and TV (little nightmares 2) are all evil. Being a kid ain't easy. On the other hand, adults have to deal with all of the evil corporations and dystopias of his so...

[@Jacob_Hingst]

@@failbird105 dang i forgot they anounced a movie

[@-Offstar]

The "graves out of our casings" isn't referencing the packages they're in, what it's referencing is the fact that the company that makes the toys took the souls of employees and orphans and shoved them into the toys. Literally making the toy casings graves for souls.

[@chinacarter8319]

"Rusting stock in carbordboard cages, memories fade as rage replaces" those are fantastic rhymes and wordplay along with showing how in the end the toys are only good until the new fad comes in and they're just old stock on a shelf.

One cool little detail: the VHS tapes that Dollpendium plays with are all the same colors as the ones that appear in-game. (Green, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Black)

[@katiesherman6517]

There are no words for how amazing this song is. And I’m so mad at those stupid NFT’s that have ruined the Poppy Playtime name because it is an amazing game! And it deserves all the good things! Not the horrible reputations those other people have given it!

[@katiesherman6517]

I have no problems with the game itself, or specifically the people who are making the game. The only people I have problems with are the people who are choosing to give it a bad name, the people who are using it to bad really REALLY bad things, and the people who are spreading all the bad things and making the whole situation worse. I had to sit down and explain to my mother when I went home for spring break, that this game is just a fun horror game that takes place in a toy factory. Not a game about sex and drug addiction. I don’t understand why some games get the absolute best of publicity and fandoms and then other (equally good games in their own right) have to deal with this crap.

[@jmurray1110]

Because it’s plagued with “fazbear syndrome” (a very common plague on indie horror) basically it’s a horror game targeted at children whose goal is to target KZbinrs and specifically matpat to play and theorise on the lore of a game while generally ignoring the actual gameplay and main story that’s also usually in a chapter release format Though it get its name from FNAF only security breach really falls into this but bendy started it, hello neighbour banked really hard on it and poppy is the latest “Family friendly” horror is basically this decades slender walking simulator

[@Jacob_Hingst]

This is why i think its important to seperate from the artist. People can make amazing things but do some really bad stuff and if you treat there art like that ypu might miss something great.

[@thatoneguyyouforgotthenameof]

Fun fact: the blue and red hands of strings are actually not a toy, but an item you use in the game called the grab pack. You use it to connect wires in puzzles along with high fiving everyone and everything in sight for no reason.

[@moonieistired7263]

That's tru- every single play through of the game I have watched has a part where the KZbinr either high-fives huggy Wuggy and/or smacks and grabs everything in sight

[@evilmontica1848]

I dont know if this has been said yet, but the "really white teeth" at 14:35 is probably because stup looks like a nutcracker in toy form and nutcrackers are known for their weird teeth and jaws. Edit: also if you like the voiceacting listen closely to the tin toys part ;)

[@ea-nr2hd]

here is a little fun fact about poppy playtime, it seems that most of the toys and experiments are actually victims being orphans and possibly even employees that got kidnapped and turned into the toys and experiments. (also it is shown that seemingly their flesh, muscles, and internal organs including eyes are used in the process of them being turned into toys and experiments and seemingly nothing supernatural is being used.) Poppy surprisingly isn't a villian, even the main villain of chapter 2 mommy long legs does have multiple documents showing that she is mostly good and thinks the player is evil. Edit: also the toys are used as a common food source in the factory.

MOB tried to cash grab on a fad, and audiences resented that *understandably because said fad is basically a bad scam, and MOB put some story elements as exclusives to unlock with the NFTs&. About sums up the controversy for the most part. Its like being angry at a theme park for charging 10 dollars for a bottle of water, underhanded, but end of the day they will milk what cash they can out of you. You just have to show them they can't by not purchasing the obvious overpriced or otherwise bad products like NFTs.

Honestly I didn't even watch the release for patreon because I know of the game and it's controversy and know that Stupes sometimes gets endorsements. But, after a day when I saw it in my notifications from KZbin I knew I had to watch it because, well, it's Stupendium. Even his bad songs are great, and I never expected the song to be this damn good.

[@LumianGames]

Looking back at Stupes' tweets from march, I guess this is the "sickeningly colourful you might just wish it was monochrome" video they were tweeting about. Also, since I realized it, the scene with the 5 Toypendiums uses a Motion Control Camera. One tweet in the march time space talked about a primary piece of film-making equipment breaking, but it not being the camera. I guess that might've been the motion control part, since you want the exact movement replicated for things like cloning a person in a scene (makes removing unneeded parts of the scene a lot easier without it being noticeable). The music video "Fear and delight" uses that technique to a great extent. Or you keep the camera still, like in the scenes where Toy-pendium is headless. Wouldn't surprise me if those were the scenes that had to be reworked because of the tech breaking ^^ The last tidbit I noticed is the Employee ID The Number looks like a date, I'd not be surprised if Stupes snuck in their b-day or something of similar importance to that.

I don't know how long the developers of Poppy Playtime have been working on games, but I know about the contraversy with the NFTs. Apparently they wanted to make merch and decided to experiment on doing NTFs. These NTFs had lore in them, which meant you had to buy them in order to get the lore. A lot of people really hated this so much that the developers said they would never do them in the near future. Even though it had a lot of backlash, I saw it more of a learning experience than a mistake.

oh in poppy play time there's more than just huggie wuggie wanting to share the 'love' there's also mommy longlegs (chapter 2 antagonist), the experiment (only shows a hand at the end of chapter 2), bunzo (ch2), and pj pugapillar (ch2). you even meet kissy missy (in ch2 she helps you or well pulls a lever that opens a door for you before just leaving)

[@bairux]

Hohohohoo I was expecting this video 🦫💖

[@alexanderhood8993]

Basically song is saying that the company was experimenting with human souls and putting them into toys to make them more lifelike but the toys decided to have a payback by removing their souls and putting them into their own toys and they are forgetting their own names and who they once were. And souls is orphans children.

19:40 that is basically the logic of taddle tale

[@Kittycake79]

My family bought a stupendium poster from this song to help with my depression it hasn't came in yet but the poster looks so cool in shop

[@Salbastro]

I just started watching the BTS for this song, and there are so many practical effects that it really just sells the vfx in it. Also, that Bendy doll? Not a suit, its a life sized foam doll.

The whole made "graves out of our casings" thing was about how most of the employees were imbued into toys and the place was abandoned, effectively making their containers actual graves.

[@evanraynolds8699]

oh yeah, and those string hands are not a toy, but a reference to the grab pack in the game

[@beenheresince1636]

Only Ian can make a six minute video into a 25 minute video!

[@Insaneian]

4:40 The "From Playtime Co" sounds like it was meant to mirror the "From Play Tyco" from the Tyco toy ads in the 90s.

[@Jackmine5yo]

not Shure if anyone else has said this but when the hand goes on the face of the doll in the little animated section at 13:44 the story behind that is the doll (huggy wuggy, this one version of him in particular is way larger than the player) has his hand raised and because of the grab hand thing about literally every single person who has played the game has high fived him (if I'm wrong and this is referencing something else, well hey this is neat anyways)

[@tomsparrow1823]

I'm sure other people have pointed it out but the trumpet was only the last of several visual gags with the body and detached head in the video.

[@Insaneian]

Oh yeah, I saw that, but the trumpet was just my favorite one.

[@tomsparrow1823]

@@Insaneian valid, I just love it in general when the background is noisy, makes you wanna go back a 100 times and see what else you missed

[@stell-Caaster]

Fact: The huggy character as seen in the video works a lot like a two handed Jim Henson puppet

[@NEBE_THEFIRST]

That vhs thing was from the game thats used for some things

[@Lightmagician60]

this music Video made me want Stupendium to replace Jim Carry in Sonic 3 since he is retiring
