Before the Digital Circus came RUNMO

[@coffee_2234]

Fun fact : there's a legit little runmo game that exists and you can play it

[@cartooncritique6625]

Where can one play this game? Is it on Steam or Newgrounds?

[@ryanmcginley2468]

Bee Cee Dee

[@Anastas1786]

You don't have to think too terribly hard about the eyes. Big, bulbous, oddly-constructed eyes are just a Gooseworx trademark.

[@sarafontanini7051]

yeah just look at Pomni and Zooble as more examples

[@tmtorsmth]

​@@sarafontanini7051Kinger and Caine even more so

[@TomSketchit]

Definitely hope for more Gooseworxs reactions. Her stuff is terribly underrepresented in react content, and you are the perfect sort to react to them.

[@JohnDoe-jh9cf]

Make sure to check out the Elain the Bounty Hunter series, Ghost of the Year, and Darly Boxman show. These are more direct inspirations for Digital Circus, especially the final one.

[@The_gaslight_district_Fanboy]

You messed up the gender Gooseworx is a she not a he

[@muserweaver]

He just never heard her soothing voice. Aside from her roles as Moon and Bubble, of course.

[@alanyozh]

​@@muserweaverShe voiced the moon?

[@GandalftheLego]

@@alanyozhyes

[@TarrareyoutubeOF]

No it’s a shape

[@CaelanMC627]

The Waltz of the Meatball Man still activates my fight or flight response the moment I start hearing the music.

[@mabman3235]

PSA: Gooseworx has stated that they go by any pronouns, and politely asks for people to stop "correcting" others.

[@somethingOtherThanYou]

if you haven't watched DOUBLE KING yet, you definitely should. it has a similar vibe to this, though I'm not actually sure if it's made by the same person

[@saddlebag]

Oh yeah, Felix Colgrave is great! He’s the one who made Double King, and I definitely recommend him.

[@christiantorres7866]

No it is not. Double King is made by Felix Colgrave

[@RBTGamming]

it isn't by them, it's by Felix Colgrave.

[@muserweaver]

I do understand why you think it's from the same creator, there are similarities in style.

[@ccmanxx1]

I love how at the first half of the video he's trying to unravel some "deeper meaning" and after a certain point he just gives up and accepts the fact this makes no sense.

[@supertjh]

(In all fairness I also didn't initially know Gooseworx's gender even after watching tons of her music and animations.) (. . . I just happened to guess she was a she correctly anyways ^^;) (*The following backlash in the comments is also why I usually call everyone/thing "they/them" on the internet unless I'm otherwise aware or corrected)

[@irok1]

he/she is fine, but he is gender neutral in English

[@toxdz_quack8466]

pretty sure goose doesnt even intend on making her stuff disturbing, its just their combination of humor and love for surreal stuff makes things a bit freaky

[@Johnmaloney1962]

Fun fact, the meatball man’s face is Gordon Ramsey with his eyes swapped

[@shaunsimmons5512]

You have undoubtedly seen Felix Colgrave's "Double King", ne? I mean if you want to talk surreal, this was good, but *that* is better. Old, yes, but a true modern classic.

[@hisupwassup]

if you have many questions about this video, i fear deeply for your sanity after "double king"

[@Regless0000]

Love that video.

[@sarafontanini7051]

as has been pointed out, goosworx is a woman :3 i wouldn't overanalyse the meaning of eyes, she seems to lie giving characters wacky eyes, like pomni, zooble, and pretty much everyone in Little Runmo. She makes some wild characters :3 be sure to watch Elain The Bounty Hunter, Ghost of the year, Elain gets adopted and Darly Boxman (in that order) next :3

[@ivangood7121]

the lyrics to meatball man song are amazing

[@coolgamer122]

i remember Little Runmo. Honestly, I was going to rewatch it again soon, but here I am now.

[@edward18517]

Before Amazing Digital Circus there was a lot of things. "I've seen his other more recent creations-" "His"? XD It so weird hearing someone call Gooseworx a "he" throughout an entire video. "I thought Amazing Digital Circus was crazy, and now I'm realizing...this is "holding back"." Yeah, I was honestly surprised when I saw Digital Circus specifically because Digital Circus is VERY tame compared to what Gooseworx normally creates XD Digital Circus is great, but it is certainly not anywhere near the levels of crazyness that they normally do. "Is this what all of Gooseworx stuff is like?" In terms of the amount of insanity? Pretty much. In terms of style, not really. They're pretty varied in what they do, and a lot of their stuff is very angular looking compared to the more rounded designs here. They also did music for Vivziepop's stuff (Hazbin Hotel's universe).

[@christiantorres7866]

Uhhh isn't Gooseworx a she?

[@Ashurman666]

Yep

[@creative8180]

Well she stated she goes by any pronouns

[@mabman3235]

Gooseworx is too powerful to be tied to pronouns

[@GuukanKitsune]

You gotta do Ghost of the Year, Elaine the Bounty Hunter, and Dento Takes The Stairs.

[@Godzillaboi1406]

no the god, is still alive.

[@אורוידןפלד-י3ק]

Definitely check out Eileen the bounty hunter, and the rest of the pink city animations also made by gooseworx, i also saw people mentioning double king and it's animator felix colegrave, if you want to see something that was probably animated on acid i'd suggest checking him out as well.

[@project4061]

You have to check out the Pink City series! It starts with Elaine the Bounty Hunter, Ghost of the Year is between the two parts, then the Darly Boxman Show!

[@mageboi]

18:42 actually on gooseworx's tumblr goose confirmed digital circus was holding back and on the glitchx livestream on glitch's channel goose said the amazing digital circus is nowhere near as weird as everything else goose has made

[@TheArcSet]

So Oddworld, meets Mario, meets Gooseworx. Videogame inspiration is definitely not new, TOME comes to mind, but I'm sure that wasn't the 1st.

[@syweb2]

I think he meant in terms of stuff Gooseworx made.

[@TheArcSet]

@@syweb2 Ah. Took the indie statement literally.

[@TheArcSet]

About 2 years since I recommended this ... for the 1st time. ;) . Maybe there's hope for ShadowStone Park and Starter Squad.

[@c-c-combobreak]

I am so glad you didn't mention Backrooms when Runmo fell into offices, you do't understand how much...

[@galaxy-starheart1545]

I also went through the stages of absurd grief the first time i watched little runmo. It's great lol

[@ja-nozeveryman5865]

9:43 more cuphead like

[@gamemasternintendoo]

What if Mario unraveled a big conspiracy. That princess Peach was paying Bowser to kidnap her. And every time Mario would die she’d collect his essence to keep herself young and beautiful forever. That he was just one in a long line of heroes that she used for that purpose. 😮

[@Mario_Mimic]

Oh my god I just realised why Kinger asked if Zooble was in a gameshow. I had no idea it was a reference to this short film.

[@multiverseman4017]

There are some unofficial songs for 3 of the villains in the animation, by the way. The Wrecking Ball, the Meatball Man, and Grombeltombus, the squid-like creature.

[@Rubberman202]

Yeah, Gooseworx makes some... fascinating animations, to be sure. She also makes some excellent music. It's funny, I remember subscribing to her for her Undertale remixes, then suddenly she uploads this cartoon, and I flipping loved it. Such bizarre character designs... PS, Gooseworx is female, by the way.

[@Ivi-Tora]

An older video with a similar theme is Kaizo Trap, so this wasn't the first time animated videos took inspiration from videogames and these messed up worlds.

[@AlysIThink101]

Quick correction her new series not his.

[@insanespyro8389]

you should watch gooseworx elen gets adoppted as that as a refrance to the "Abstration" in digital

[@ScreamingScallop]

The train-creature (Security Boose) reminds me of the designs in _The Beatles' Yellow Submarine_ (specifically the Flying Glove) but Grobletombus Marble-Eyes is absolute nightmare fuel despite his happy, almost puppy-like demeanor (and delightful theme music) as he stampedes across the cosmos. But more than anything I love how Pikit looks around awkwardly, as if it's embarrassed by its seemingly useless advice. You deserved better, Pikit. I wholeheartedly second all the recommendations for Felix Colgrave's _Double King_ in the comments.

[@calsipher]

you should check out elain the bounter hunter by her next!

[@ztsquid3000]

I felt like I was on drugs when I watched it. 🤪

[@drq_seed]

Nice vid like always

[@muserweaver]

Do you plan to react to the GlitchX in general or at least the VA gameshow?

[@bread496]

I really hope that dogital circus brings mpre attention to other gooseworx projects

[@xenodragon6564]

hmm your videos @Airier is in members only mode. if thats on prepose than ok if not lol.

[@Airier]

Members only for now. It'll go live for everyone later like usual. This felt like a good way to give members something of value without shafting everyone else.

[@xenodragon6564]

ok good to know@@Airier

[@davidgubic7996]

gooseworx is female not male @@Airier

[@VooshSpokesman]

Love from a Vaush and GooseWorx fan!

[@drakelong5851]

Gooseworks mentioned during her AMA during the GlitchX live stream that she held back the weirdness for TADC. So, yeah, I expected her other stuff to be really weird but this was mostly just weird. Not interesting or entertaining. Just weird. I hope TADC turns out to be as good as I expected before I saw some of her other stuff.

[@westonsimmons561]

Gooseworks always does i have no mouth put i must scream

[@JaclynSchuster]

This is my biggest fan

[@LamirLakantry]

You should see Double King

[@hisupwassup]

camera be extra crispy today

[@kylestubbs8867]

11:48

[@Leostar-Regalius]

you should listen to the fan made songs for meatball man and the guy at the end

[@muserweaver]

Also Elain dilogy is waiting for you

[@tjautomatin4145]

I watched this before tadc

[@OMEGAXD303]

You think this is weird? Wait til' you know about felix colgrave

[@durbiderb3090]

Why is the video so saturated?

[@shadowguarder2857]

react to One ; the best ever object show. warning : depression
