Neil Cicierega - Mouth Dreams - Reaction Video

[@SM-ok3sz]

The irony of watching their faces become incredibly bored and unhappy while someone sings “come on get happy” over and over. Neil is a genius.

[@barkbark5265]

Neil is deranged and that is an utter compliment. He truly thinks on an elevated level

[@angrywizard3199]

"Get Happy" is a nice track and quite funny but now every time I have a dissociative episode it loops in my head

isn't it ironic?

fun fact - if you download the album and sort the tracks alphabetically backwards, and look at the "comments" section of each track, it spells out "i c a n t t h i n k o f a s e c r e t m e s s a g e"

I saw that at the start of Johnny cash baby….his face like “what is he going to do to my boy?”

[@Turalcar]

That's why teaser was Greenday: the album is about dreaming and released at the end of September

[@WillCrosswait]

Yes!!! I wanted to talk about that, but we were too excited to listen to the album

[@tweer64]

Mashed up with Dream On.

[@xanderguyer7512]

I became numb to the jokes and just listen to these songs casually now, then you watch normal guys reacting, and you remember "oh yea! this is insane!"

[@kentonbaird1723]

I'm not alone!

[@jordansean18]

First time through is for giggles. Second time through is to watch a friend's reaction. Hundredth time through is because you find out this music is insanely easy to work / study too because it just grooves so well and you never have to think about the lyrics. (And because you have been listening to the album on repeat 😅)

[@iguessmynamesriya7658]

"He makes better music than most PEOPLE" I love the emphasis on people and the implications that holds

49:31 GodDAMMIT Neil... The original lyric "because *my dreams* are bursting at the seams" has oh-so-subtly been changed to "because *Mouth Dreams* are bursting at the seams"... I've listened to this so many times, but I only just caught that now. Neil is such a sneaky marvellous bastard genius.

[@LetsDuddies]

Damn. Good ear, dude

[@juliusjoa3463]

[@wizkida981015]

love how in Nightmovin' it was a "NO" followed immediately by a "YES" followed immediately by a "NOOO"

[@juliusjoa3463]

That's how it works 49:50

[@JARGUN145]

I love watching reactions to Neil's songs and work because I always enjoy people enjoying themselves or being in total confusion.

[@frownyclowny6955]

51:00 “can’t wake up in sweats, cuz it ain’t over yet-“ *ends*

[@Worrok]

My favorite part is trying to take a dignified sip of a snifter of whisky while Johnny Cash sings about just being a baby, drinking coffee.

[@kentonbaird1723]

that he made Johnny Cash sing "I ShIt /my/ Pants" was practically heretical.

[@senseisleepyhead]

If anyone wants to know the bizarre history of how Neil evolved throughout the years with his music and relationship with the internet, look up "Neil Cicierega, Internet Person - XOXO Festival (2016)". It's Neil himself telling his story for 20 minutes on stage to a festival audience. He had a *fascinating* early introduction to the internet as a kid, plus it's neat to see and hear this actual person speak live.

[@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice]

Oh, that's a good one to watch!

[@kevinwillems8720]

It's actually wild how close the early internet was. Like the guy who animated the music video fire Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny now cohoasts a utopian socialist podcast called Srsly Wrong.

[@CWargh63]

RIVERS: "Oh yeah..." WILL: "Oh no..."

[@CherryRedBanshee]

I love that you guys listen to Neil Cicierega on road trips. I aspire to have friends who will let me play the Mouth albums for them at all let alone on a road trip.

[@frickcentral7535]

Very enjoyable thanks for actual reacting to the whole album

[@alexis_electronic]

Glad that Neil's algorithm magic boosted y'all into my recommendations, looking forward to sticking around!

[@sorcererCermet]

40:56 the absolute MADMAN modulated the THX intro and morphed it into a truly spiritual experience

[@tafa_matai3184]

Im glad yall had the same reaction to the blasphemous afront that is "Limp Wicket"

[@CWargh63]

You mean 'I did it all for the Wookie'?

[@Barriertriostruckapose]

These guys have either never heard Psycho Killer and are laughing because they think that Neil made those noises sound like that, or they have heard Psycho Killer and are laughing at David Byrne being David Byrne. I can't decide which I like better

Perfect description

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

Guess I need to run through em all again. There are some great standalones here, so I guess the others just have more.

[@nofivefivesevenseven]

In my opinion, this album is more for the funny, but there's still some really good songs, like Ribs, Closerflies and Whitehouse. IMO this album is still better than Silence, mainly because there's only 1 song on the album I love (Piss) and there's only 4 songs I like (Goodbye, Space Monkey Mafia, Best, It's), while all the others are eh (and then there's Orgonon Gurlz...)

[@senseisleepyhead]

That's how frigging devious and brilliant Neil is. So many layers and secrets and references.

[@LilChuunosuke]

The release of mouth dreams was synched dangerously well with me listening to the Spirit Phone album with increased frequency, so I had just assumed it was an older album I'd forgotten the title of until the thumbnail to this reaction video tempted me to click. I was like "hmm, maybe I'll just watch their reactions to some familiar songs, then click off" ... "wait, I don't know any of these songs....WHY ARE ALL THE VIDEOS ON MOUTH DREAMS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD?"
