So many people asked who was wearing the Huggy Wuggy suit, and were shocked to find out it was a puppet that Stupendium made from scratch. Apparently they're still finding clumps of blue fur all around their house. Lol

[@Mark73]

If you pay attention, you realize he never actually blinks anywhere in the video. That's impressive attention to detail.

[@whatitdodave]

There’s so much to pay attention too in this video. I’m sure I missed other things. This video deserves at least three watches.

[@gaminganimators7000]

Doesn't he blink around 1:51

[@BlackWaltz101]

The whole animated part with the hand smacking Huggy in the face and it's sigh reaction was a reference to all the playthroughs that showed up. Almost everyone gave the noticeably faking killer rag doll standing there like a statue with it's hand out and gave it either a High Five or a smack in the face. Interesting psychological take on the concept on that part though.

[@ninolloydbandiola5581]

Our Monkey brains say Raised Hand = High Five

[@chinalebeau8021]

For context, Poppy Playtime is about a company who turns their employees into toys, organs and all. They bleed, they eat, the company took their own employees and turned them into toys, which is why most of them became monsters.

[@chinalebeau8021]

“Someone must have worked here once but they are gone and we remain” is a reference to the main plot of Poppy Playtime, where we (an ex employee) come back to the factory years after it’s been closed down and abandoned and all the employees “vanished”, hence they are all the toys left to collect dust because one of the experiments (the blue guy) killed the rest of the employees that weren’t turned into toys

[@VayaKahvi]

The intelligent doll has become so much more horrifying with that...

[@macgyver42563]

Not just the employees were turned into toys. There were many others.

[@SMOG8]

The way I see this is how taking away the one thing someone is meant to do can cause insanity. Having the one thing you’re good at disappear creates a sense of worthlessness and depression which leads to stuff like this.

[@598019001]

I love how much effort stupendium puts into his videos, The man just doesn't miss a beat in any sense!

[@ayzekpie9432]

His teeth are what kept my attention the whole video. The effect they have on the image of the toy is absolute

[@codasinger5298]

I know sometimes we just wanna watch the reaction video but for Stupendium I feel I must ask: PLEASE go to the original video and watch it. At least like it. He’s got his own studio now and is just beginning to tap into his potential. The effort he puts into his songs could always be heard, but not we can see it too, make sure Stupendium is getting the attention he deserves and once you’ve finished this reaction, watch the original if you haven’t already.

[@SPM_Zsaws]

You should check out "And So We Fall" by Stupendium, probably his catchiest song

[@rippley3772]

The fact that Stupes does all the animation himself as well!

[@OxygenBeats]

5:58 yeah, that's my favorite shot too! thanks for the reaction!!

Love your reactions! You always give the videos you watch some thought and try to appreciate it. Stupendium definitely has a great catalogue for that!

[@connortanner548]

I love how he's getting philosophical while im just over here thinking its simply abandoned toys seeking revenge

[@midec7699]

I'm so glad you reacted to this. This is one of my favorite songs by him.

[@wastedspam385]

"You're not necessarily gonna grow up... and hopefully not, become murderous" Hey, that feels like a personal attack Dave :P

[@Hileavemealone]

I love your reactions, they give insight about songs, animations and such that I wouldn't have thought about, it's really fascinating!

[@chaosmastermind]

That gross doily under the TV reminds me of my grandmother's house that had tons of those things. Truly reminiscent of my childhood.

[@TheRhuen]

when you grow up, you just more adult toys (and not just that kind), what is a customizable video game character but a dress up doll/action figure in an imaginary play land; model kits even if you leave them on a shelf after words; even collectors will "mock play" with their stuff before setting it back down; just because you aren't on the floor making up stories with your toys doesn't mean the urge isn't still there...heck on can argue the freedom to do whatever like with those toys is driving the direction of videogames to try and be more open world, more outcomes, more side things to do or just explore and play; maybe even play with friends and make your own stories and stages.

[@playerlv333]

Ohhhh! More reaction! Awesome video as always.

[@brandyboriskin4737]

the toys are actually made of human hence the scene wher the toy are hanging and bloody

[@TheHazard777onCODPS3]

Reminds me of a mix between weird al and a touch of icp.

[@skueakyglove6910]

he always has his mouth open in someway like a toy would speak like and moves with only joints and stiff like on e of the army figures you'd get in the toy shop, also i think all the instruments he uses are toys in some form but im not to sure

[@theblazingpegasus9151]

Love watching your reactions to his songs I love the stupendium alot to the point I support his Patreon and love hearing your opinions and interpretations as a non gamer with these game themed songs. Very interesting

[@olsongc8422]

So, the game centers around the idea of a toy factory that may have found a way to turn humans into toys (hence Poppy being the first "intelligent doll"), and plays with the idea that the factory workers were also turned into toys. The factory ends up getting closed and boarded up, trapping all of the toys inside. Your character, an former employee, breaks into figure out what happened to everyone and gets caught up in the aftermath. The theme I see from this song shares a similar theme to Bendy and the Ink Machine. However, where Bendy centers around the question of "What happens to creations who are left behind by their creator?" and deals with animations coming to life this song centers around the question "What happens to the toys you abandoned when your grew up, and what would they do to you if they came to life?" After all, the toys get to see you when you are at your purest and when you don't have to act a certain way. How well did you treat them, and what would that look like if they treated you the same? Also, you can look at it as a discussion of what happens to someone when they no longer are able to do their purpose. A toy is meant to entertain and be enjoyed, but if they're just left in a box and stored away........all the 'entertainment energy' is not being used. If a person is trapped in a room and unable to use any creativity they have......they'll slowly go insane.

[@SeventhSolar]

I think Stupendium would've been more explicit if he meant to include a deeper meaning. This song looks surface-level-only to me.

[@olsongc8422]

@@SeventhSolar "Take those tin toys from the attic/Bring those dolls down from the loft/Take your old friend out and ask if/they resent their resting spot/They may just be some plastic/They may look stuffed and soft/They'll still put you in a casket/but you won't be mint in box!" The actual game does not deal with you dealing with any toys that the main character ever owned. That whole section sounds like its geared towards the listener.

[@Chiller-pc1dv]

@@SeventhSolar "what we were, our former names"

[@SeventhSolar]

@@Chiller-pc1dv That's the literal lore of the game, that the employees were turned into toys.

This game's shit ton of drama has officially made it unlikeable, and I can no longer support. But I'm so glad Stupendium went through with this to the end, even if he doesn't support at well.

[@errorcringyname4044]

Wait it has drama?

[@The_Exorcist]

@@errorcringyname4044 I'll try and cut it short, but basically the multi-network channel starring minecraft animations bullied and harassed a kid for refusing to join their network (even made animations sins specifically to target and call out his animations) , and managed to put him in a psychiatric ward of sorts, then they also seemingly plagiarised the designs made by the person they bullied who was making their own game WHICH THEY WERE AWARE ABOUT since he had attempted to keep a normal relationship between them, and the fact they made nfts for the game, as well was highly commercialise alot of merchandise which even seem lazy in design seems as thou that this game could've been made not just to spite the person who refused to join, but also for a quick and easy cash grab.

[@errorcringyname4044]

@@The_Exorcist yup not even gonna think about getting the game anymore thats crazy

[@olivinator]

@@The_Exorcist i tried to look into this, and from what i gathered this post blows what happened way out of proportion. the "plagiarization" was just them working on a game with similar themes as another game, and while there was bullying and harassment, it happened about 5-6 years ago, the person responsible has long since apologized for it even before MOB games even existed, it was a single individual being a douchebag to another individual half a decade ago and they made an effort to make amends afterwards. MOB games made NFTs without realizing how unpopular NFTs are and are now under contract and have to wait for the contract to expire before getting rid of said NFTs. if you have any sources that show otherwise, i'd like to see them.

[@runajain5773]

@@olivinator do you know about poppy playtime movie NO JOKE I AM SERIOUS

[@kimiphillips8034]

Also, it makes me specifically of the antagonists of Toy Story 2 and 3. In three, Lotso Hugginbear became a villain because he was resentful of Daisy literally replacing him with an other Lotso. Thus, the sense of resent from the toys of feelings abandoned because was so easily replaced. However, the Toys of Poppy Playtime may also have the resentment of abandonment mixed with the same resent that Stinky Pete felt in Toy Story 2. The resent of never being bought by children and, as Stupendium put it, left Pete to decay in that box they made into his coffin.

[@connortanner548]

haven't played the game myself, I just saw a lore video, but they're not toys that come to life, they're orphan kids that got turned into these monsters that LOOK like the toys

I’m gonna guess it disrupts the flow of the song for them; I can relate, I personally hate it when the reactor talks over the song/animation while it’s still playing.

No, the lore of the game has nothing to do with children. Toys were made from living humans against their will.
