Family Guy - How David Lynch Stole Christmas!

All the content is owned by Fox, I have uploaded this video to bring awareness to the awesomeness that is Family Guy!

-I don’t understand. -That’s the whole point.

[@maniradmehr270]

All of the rootin ceremony are based on straight history of time!.. forward to future.. but lynch in his movies denyid different between past and future!

I also watched the video.

[@Nopperabou]

A bit unfair to Lynch's work

[@okebel3280]

@@Nopperabou Lynch is more: "You don't understand, so go figure out the truth for yourself."

[@johnsailorsgoat]

The best part of this is the fact that they got the real David Lynch to do the voice work! XD

[@MrCrackerJack420]

This character model is the exact same as Gus from The Cleveland Show, also voiced by and modeled after David Lynch.

[@mattjindrak]

That's actually the worst part

[@casesoutherland4175]

That's unmistakably his voice

I love that Lynch takes his work seriously, but can also laugh at it and himself.

[@zero-zero-2755]

“Don’t look away, let the fear wash over you” seems like a good way to explain the human condition, to a child 😂

[@JohnnyRazor100]

Fear is the mind killer. Dune

[@pdzombie1906]

Funny how a society considers amusing an artist who tells a child to embrace primal feelings instead of shutting them down and become a consuming robot numbed by drugs and alcohol...

[@squamish4244]

@@pdzombie1906 I would tell the child to not worry, neuroscience will soon be able to shut down the primal fear pathways. No need for drugs and alcohol. Shrink that amygdala! Tune that nucleus accumbens! Align that hypothalamus! Stupid primordial brain subcortical structures, causing all of problems.

[@ItApproaches]

@Mr Old School And your response is equally not "right". As all fear is fear of no self. Your imaginary friend "God" has no footing in reality. Only in your egoicly constructed fantasy land does he appear to be real. Either grow up by outgrowing your imaginary friend, or stay a child who pretends to be an adult. Ultimately neither really matters. What matters is realizing which you are.

[@Bram25]

That is David Lynch movies in a nutshell. They are both about realistic fears in a most of the time surreal or paranormal setting.

[@FlameAdder]

"Also in the past" is what really cracks me up

The best parody comes from people who actually like what they're poking fun of.

[@80PercentAshamedOfU]

@@davejohn3600 100% agreed. That’s why all those older parody movies (Airplane!, Naked Gun, Space Balls etc) were so much better written than the modern ones. They were almost love letters.

[@LabRat10101]

I think this is the first time David Lynch actually explained his movies honestly.

[@tbewin1z143]

FINALLY someone who tells the truth on here

[@manbatmiso]

Yeah he bases his movies off real life and the intricacies and atrocities that occur and how the world makes no sense whatsoever especially to him lol.

Well, once you learn that Alice in Wonderland is a critique of modern Mathematics and the Human Drive to understand and make Sense if things, you kind of learn to just flow along with Lynch, rejecting the Notions of understanding and meaning. It's a kind of Dream State, in which you watch, remembering what happens on Screen like Puzzle Pieces. But all the Puzzle Pieces are Squares, and they are Magnetic.

[@benhinton4613]
