[@calebmurray4438]

I like to believe that all of your animations are from the same universe where humanity somehow was cursed and thousands of different natural disasters caused chaos around the world, exterminating them and leaving evolved animals to survive in what’s left. This one is from a part of the world where a portion of reality collapsed and all humans were drawn in, leaving a couple strange creatures, one of which was insane and the other two were his servants. The MILLENIUM HOUR animation is from a part of the world where humans were wiped out by a blizzard, and a dog is left to try and make his little corner of the world a bit better. Oh, and birds.

The weirdest thing about all of this is that all throughout it, the cat has a completely normal voice with completely normal sayings. Nothing he says depicts him as a weird creature. It was all the visuals of his activity.

[@V0idedOut-E33]

this literally captures what it's like working fast food for me at least. You don't get a lunch break. It's always too damn busy and every time you ask for one you're given an okay but the manager always has three more tasks he pulled out of his ass for you to do and then later on "Oh come on it's the last part." It's almost the end of your shift. You can work another two hours without food. Why do you need a break anyway? If it wasn't managers being up my ass about it it's the leering eyes of the staff judgmentally looking at me like I'm weak because I want my federally required osha lunch break. oh wait this is a will to work state, so that doesn't apply.

[@Bownimations01]

Yep, I’ve been there. And then you’re forced to work so much overtime because of the shit manager not scheduling everybody correctly or people just not showing up. I was pulling 12-14 hour days with no food unless one of my kinda managers would give me something under the table and give me 10 minutes to chow down. God forbid I even went to the bathroom either. And I had a second job too, and my shit manager kept trying to make me late to the other job or call off sick because they “needed me more” whereas I blatantly denied them shit and went to work my better job. She even tried to get me to call in sick so that I could attend a Christmas party she wanted the employees to do and tried to make it mandatory. I basically told her fuck you, went to my good job, ate delicious homemade Mexican food, and attended their Christmas party instead. I hated my Burger King job -w-“

Basically that cat tried to over work her because she didn't know any better but once the boss of hers said that he would take away her bird possibly meaning her lunch or life in its whole because he saw her as a easily controlled employe but she revoked her right to go and have a break once in a while once showing him she wouldn't just let that go and thus he let her be and when he had said that "aw come on now its the last part!" It was basically a lure to keep her working Or at least thats what i think

[@CrownePrince]

The boss makes you do all these things but eventually there's one thing you just won't do, something you won't compromise on, and that's when you quit.

[@lostheartish]

Oh I kinda understand it as an metaphor for really oppressive moments that deeply effect you? The velvet stage opens in the beginning to introduce it as a story. then we are presented with the dinosaur being the employee to the cat in a grounded reality. The boss represents some enigmatic power that you dont quite understand whats their doing/saying. also, the TV is seen as something he revers or is worshiping that you dont also quite understand. Lunch Break is this desired place then suddenly dissipates. An image of misunderstood power then places the dinosaur in a tumultuous period for literally unknown reasons. the bird comes along and is introduced as something the dinosaur has never seen before. this bird travels with you, becomes a true companion, and the dinosaur loves as an entity for traveling beside the dinosar. final part comes and the dinosaur cannot give up the bird for the lunch place. In that moment the Dinosaur found that the bird and the relationship she had she values more than the lunch place, and takes her to a more amazing lunch place that they share together. the curtain closes, the dinosuar and bird stand infront of the curtain to say the play is over and we the actors remains, and we told you a relatable story that might help you through the times that are like this. But you will survive. yeah pretty good.

[@strionic770]

Johnathan Martinez Although that's a good interpretation, the original comment is a lot more specific and the short quite grounded in its basis. I think it's simply having to move on from what's taking control over you due to neither party being willing to compromise, which makes perfect sense represented by an employee and their boss.

[@lostheartish]

@@strionic770 hmm I had no idea that original comment existed. I guess at risk of sounding like an art snob and an asshole, i think that deadlycomic's animations tries to convey some really profound messages, and that is what I got from this one. I respect the message the original comment makes, and I relate to wanting to yell at your boss, but for me the situation is apart of a larger issue some people face in life.

It's been a while since I've watched this, but I watch this every so often for some unexplainable reason, and I feel I should finally comment something. As someone struggling through depression, this video kind of makes me feel something Everytime I watch it, like I've been able to grasp something in my life but I don't know what it is. Everytime I watch this video I notice something else, and I know the more time goes on and the more times I watch it I will continue to notice something new in the video. It's bizzare. In my life the more I notice how I can improve it, the more I notice how taxing it can be on my mental state and how hard it will be to actually get around to doing it, but this video kind of shows that eventually, you'll reach an end, and whether or not you noticed everything won't matter, because eventually you'll be unable to look back. I want to thank the people that was needed to make this video, and I only wish I could listen to it's soundtrack when I feel like mellowing out. If the songs are out there, I don't know where they could be. Either way, this comment will mean little to those reading it, and probably like garbled mess to most but. That's kind of my life right now. Just here hoping I get to lunch one day.

"Paint things" is the first thing on the list, , and the last four things are "find yourselves" (the maze), "fix the curious machine", "deliver them" (the tvs), "deliver them some more" and dominoes. I just found that cool

[@Ceruleanst]

The meaning I get from this is that the bird is happiness, lunch is reward, and the cat is the idea of success and progress. You deserve rewards, you don't need to keep doing more and more for no break or reward, happiness will unlock your freedom.

[@vamrack8344]

Yeah i kinda got the same feeling

[@spooperdedooper]

I feel like this is a metaphor for being overworked. The dino (I’ll just call em a Dino) was about to go on break, before being given more tasks by her boss. When she was asked to hand over her bird, however, she persisted to keep it. I think the bird m i g h t represent the Dino’s lunch break. The boss was constantly making Dino and birb work through Dino’s lunch break, before possibly trying to take her break away altogether, aka her birb. Yes, young Dino, you are right. We do all go through this kind of thing at one point. The important part is finding out where to draw the line and just take a break.

[@patrickfrost9405]

Well, yeah, but the theater at the end is empty.

[@Dorsalwarrior0]

I think part of that is because of the literal aspect of it that no one gets swept away into a tv and all that other crazy stuff. Then the more subtle aspect that spooper dooper is talking about. Which is that it’s about drawing a line and knowing when to take a break and the theatre is empty cause no one really does draw a line in the sand

This reminds me of having one of those dreams, where you are pressured and have jobs to do, where everything's kind of dark and gloomy and you feel out of control, but then it turns slightly lucid and you just say "No" to it, and eventually wake up.

I wanna learn how to drive, but I had a dream of being on the road and not knowing what to do. I actually crashed in the dream, and that was when I awoke. Or, another example, I’m afraid of deep waters. One of my dreams was me being stuck on a new York crane. I would either have to jump off or die. And, I ended up jumping off, and that’s all I could remember. Basically, I don’t ever feel in control of my life. Most of the time, the dreams I remember come in months after whatever event.

Ok ok First off, I believe this has some perfect blue vibes. Now, I'm not good at theories...

(i think the withe cat represents either the boss or the fans who want more) The bird represents her freedom and she always wanting lo leave In the end if she threw the bird as the boss said, she would be giving everything to him and letting him exploit her more ...

No I get what you mean! When she says I’ve done all the other things, probably saying she’s sacrificed everything or done everything the cat wanted her to do and the bird being her friend and not wanting to sacrifice a friendship

[@bugbugbugbugbug5059]

bingobango123 Y’know it’s called an “urban legend” for a reason....

[@MrLastlived]

@@bugbugbugbugbug5059 They used to do this for combat medics though. I think its a goat and not a dog however. The trainee is assigned a goat, ordered to name it and is to take care of it and bond during the course of training. An instructor fucks up the goat something serious at the end of training, and then orders the medic to deal with it. I think its meant to simulate how it would necessarily feel when a work acquaintance and someone you may take solace in gets dangerously injured, and prepares you mentally for that level of pain happening next to you. They may still do this, I'm unsure, but I know it was done in the past. Also OP is thinking of Spies, not Marines, and its a movie trope not an urban legend. There are too many marines to afford the otherwise weekly puppy slaughter.

There are so many different things this could mean for so many people. SO many ways to interperet this. Animations like this really make me think.

[@KPS3ngineer]

I don't comment often, but this really resonates with me. Seeing this for the first time now, after reaching that point where the straw broke the camels back at work, and feeling so trapped, so stuck in a monotonous lifestyle, and finally realizing that I wasn't where I wanted to be, I finally said no and left. I felt like I finally had that peace and self respect I had craved for so long. But it's the ending that really got me. It's terrible in a way, but extremely comforting to hear "everyone goes through it", to know you're not alone in your mindset. If you feel stuck, you might just need to break out. Whether it's work, a relationship, or getting out of bed each day, build up that courage to finally say enough is enough. I'm so glad I did. Thank you for this. Really, it is a beautiful way to visualize everything I've been thinking. Thank you.
