Doctor, should I be good this year?🥲 [KARMA - AJR]

[@itsokkoy]

I crashed after uploading the video and woke up to such a heartwarming comment section🫢-I read every single one, and I’m seriously touched. I wanted to say “you’ve all done so well this year,” but instead, I feel like I’m the one being comforted. Thank you so much. 2024 was special because of you, and I’m so grateful. Let’s make 2025 amazing too! Happy New Year🎉🎉 Re: 100 Bad Days - I added it after Karma to lighten the mood since Karma ends on a sad note. Fun fact-the violin melody at the end of Karma is from 100 Bad Days! Maybe in 2025, when we’ve lived through more “days,” I’ll create something with it. 😉

[@tumblingartist]

[@zortingenshtrayze]

The way college girl snatched Collin's paperplane though 😭

[@doomslayer6906]

1:56 if i'm right, that's referencing the "Everything bagel" from everything everywhere all at once, which in a way is saying "The weight of everything is too much" and i love that detail

[@E--Drop]

_Oml-_ *I love it!*

[@John-Smlth]

It's cool it came back to this same scene at 4:01 on the line "The Universe works in mysterious ways" The everything bagel fits that idea well.

[@iicwutecwat2]

I think the bagel also comes from the “important” music video where it appears like 3 times in the final portion of the video

[@dremcrak5647]

The part where they walk towards the screen cycling through costumes of all their videos? Soooo cool. Hope everything *is ok, koy*

You had me thinking about the 100 bad days reference at 0:39 for the WHOLE VIDEO, and once the video was over you teased that 100 bad days was next, you madlad

[@jtrewind]

I first heard this song in 2020 during quarantine. Four years later and I still relate to it. Not to say things haven't gotten better, but I think we all feel like the universe is against us sometimes.

[@ronanhartman8942]

Love how this is an animation that shows off your animations for this year, in addition to being great stand alone!

[@אריאלמונזון]

Yesssss so much references

[@vixthelyric]

How dare I not see this for 20 seconds! This is such a creative and unique way to recap the year. I hope your are doing okay dude! Make sure to take breaks

[@AlonsoelWebon]

Certified last peak of the year [Also the references are amazing, hope the next year goes better for you and for everyone else!]

[@audreycarlton7521]

2:58 made me cry. I needed this so much. I was looking for the “unofficial karma music video” with the puppets and this came up about 10 minutes after it released. This song and AJR in general has gotten me through so much of this year, so thanks for this amazing video to go along with it. ❤ Happy new year!

[@RhianneMalaluan-j1j]

I really like AJR's songs because they capture that happy upbeat song feelings while having such lyrics that makes you think about life so much. Like feeling numb even though everything in your life is going so well.

[@rice8872]

I love how not only is it a callback to all of his past works this year, but also how each animation referenced coincide with the lyrics in the song! Like at 0:55 "I've been helpful and friendly" a thankless hero "Why am i feeling empty" a person with depression "It's still getting harder" getting overwhelmed and burnt out by college It's all the little details that keeps me coming back to these videos, absolutely fantastic work koy

[@TheTrashyboi]

Dude, I haven't even been following this channel for that long, I showed up during your inertia video, and I gotta admit, I didn't really actively seek your stuff out from there sadly But this... this right here hit me so deep, not just cause of how emotional the song itself is, because of course it is, but specifically at around 2:34, it just hit me how much I actually missed out on, and even more so, how much work you put into all the stuff you've worked on You deserve so much more recognition for everything you've done this year

[@E--Drop]

My Thoughts *Exactly* 🤧❤️‍🩹

[@Racsob52]

I forgot how good this song is and how much I relate to it. Your animations are next level dawg, keep it up

[@ToastLord42]

All of these songs hit home like nothing else. I've spent the last two years being good to anyone who is prepared to give me the time of day, still alone... We love your work

[@Rogério_Martins]

[@paintbrushjr.8312]

It was thanks to your video on Inertia that I was introduced to AJR, and now I see you animating one of my favorite songs of theirs! The references to your previous works were phenomenal. It really showed the long trip it's been through all of them, from when I first discovered your channel via "Hey Doctor Doctor" and everything from the shorts to the full videos. This video was an emotional gut punch throughout, and you did a great job capturing all of that emotion. I can't wait to see what you have next in store, (possibly 100 Bad Days given the ending?) and will follow along happily throughout.

[@rooster5man]

The way you deepen the stories in these songs with your animation is beautiful. I hope you are doing well, you did good this year. 🫂🫂

[@milqtoasq]

I love the nod to other animatics like Hey doctor doctor, The outfit of ‘Inertia’ and ‘Two days into College’, the table of Lollipops from ‘I want to work in a lollipop factory’ along with the backgrounds from ‘I’m not important’, its a throwback and a wrap up in one song animatic Amazing work!

[@LoganAmodeo]

Thank you! You were the one who introduced me to AJR with your inertia animation. Now they occupies over half of my playlists.

[@ThatAussieVO]

I've said it before, but your mastery of using themeing in these music videos blows me away every time, your creativity is fantastic as you iterate~

[@thebandname]

this song saved my life. this is why i love ajr. this song is literally my life and i love how it kinda represents students like me who actually try, and just get nothing in return.

[@Queen_Vexus]

This actually got me leaking tears, not full down crying, but emotionally moved... Thank you for moving my heart and keeping it alive in a world that seems to pride itself today on cruelty. You are a wonder and a gem.

Your content pops into my mind and life every now and then and I can't help but smile ate everything you make. So charming and campy. It's been an awful your for me, and your content has be one of a small few that I have been happy to see in my shorts feed. This is a truly personal piece of animation, and took a lot of clear love and effort. It's fantastic. You deserve all the love you get

[@Jackaloon13]

Wow. Thank you for being a part of my life. I know it's not saying much but your animations have been such real outlets for mine and so many others' emotions, so genuinely, Thank you for all you have given us!

[@user-jk4456]

I love this song, I listened to it a bunch of times and I came across your animation (which I am very happy about) you animate very well, your animation style is simple but very beautiful at the same time and watching your other animations on the channel I could not tear myself away from watching (even when my hand froze in the cold because of the wind). You are a great animator, keep up the good work

[@rtl-cuddlemaster]

You really just capture the soul of the song. And it resonates with me a lot. Once again, I love your work!

[@ytuser4562]

Everyone’s giving praise about how this is a recollection of all of Koy’s animations, but I don’t think enough people are concerned for him. The video expresses that he is feeling hopeless and burnt out. I’m not so sure we should be celebrating.

[@aisyluuu]

There are SO MANY references that I can't count them all and it's so amazing! I feel like every 2 seconds I'm like OMG I KNOW THE REFERENCE-

[@KarahKat]

This animation was phenomenal! I loved all the references to past ones you’ve done. I almost always get emotional when I watch one of your videos, this one was no different. You had me crying from the moment the character left the therapist’s office only to come back through the door all the way to the end. Amazing job!

Thank you for such a great video as always Koy

[@florep.9575]

Hello, I discovered your work this year. You are a fantastic artist. Your animations hit always right. So many of us struggle with emptiness, hollowness,and sad thoughts. Take care of yourself, your work is fantastic : take care, even if I know it's hard to do.

[@MrBoggler]

Your videos are something else, Koy... Something more significant than I think even you might notice. This really hit me, at a time when I feel like the world outside passes by without a second glance. Theres an indescribable effect that your work has, at least on me, that reminds me I'm alive. A connection. To see someone express emotion through art like this is just... Right. Please don't stop dreaming. I love you.
