Real Estate - Paper Cup (Official Video)

[@すなどりパグ]

I am Japanese. Recently, I learned about realestate at a supermarket. The music that was playing is "TalkingBackwards". The song and album were wonderful, but this is also a wonderful new song. I want to watch live someday. I'm sorry if English is wrong.

Wow, the supermarkets in Japan have much better music than our supermarkets in the USA! Glad you like Real Estate, every album by them is great!

[@MMDAMV]

I... That was legitimately very heartfelt. Animatronics are a badly mistreated artform. Seeing this boy treat his old friend with love and compassion was so nice. Some pretty damn disturbing imagery in there, but at the same time, oddly tender.

[@guardian494]

You just made me cry

[@jae-sseu]

One of the things I like so much about this is that the kid is Chippy's last fan and he is SO there for it, and it gives Chippy the strength to believe in himself enough to put on one amazing, final show :') Also, I really feel the underlying loneliness of the kid going to this show by himself and sitting down with something to eat and drink and just watching the stage and not having anyone to talk to.

[@BoiledPlums]

you took a good comment and ruined it worse then when my mother flamed my fathers hairline

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

​@@BoiledPlumsWait, what

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

I like how you just assume the kid is lonely. I'd love it, even if I was by myself.

[@m0nste_]

This music video is underrated as HELL- Hope it gets the attention it deserves in due time.

[@mattjetson4570]

This is one of the most beautiful and artful metaphors. You feel the pain of the animatronic as if it had a soul, but treated as it was disposable. Then the love of this kid, his one last fan. It brings me to tears thinking about how even at your lowest, there is someone out there who’s in your court, still cheering for you. I love this song and video so much.

[@lenb4142]

This made kinda sad. Seeing Chippers's life go down hill as he breaks and gets sick. Then how dedicated his final fan is, running to see chipper perform getting genuinely sad/disappointed when Chipper broke but then running back once he sees he's working again. Then dancing along with his favorite animatronic and hugging him lovingly even after being puked on. Like its just so sad to see chipper perform his last possible show to a kid that absolutely adores him causing him have flashbacks to his former glory and how he got to be to the state of being he's become. Edit: I re watched this on a bigger screen and realized the boy threw away his tickets on the tray, he really did only come to see Chipper and not to play games.

[@cwmartin51662]

Honest, this is the dumbest video that ever made me cry EVERY. STINKING. TIME.

[@ricardohuante4729]

None of that wouldn't have happened if that kid didn't throw the cup

Well said

[@roysibello5579]

@Ferenc Soós You keep using that word (parody). I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[@paddydoublems]

Just heard this song on the radio. Wow. The video just takes it to another level. I love how Chipper waves at the kid and then hugs him as he slowly breaks down. You cannot help but feel as he started to perform for the kid, give it the best performance he's got, and go out knowing someone cared.

This hit hard when Chipper called out to him at 2:41 his last performance was so powerful he let out the real voice of Chipper

[@PatrickPierceBateman]

Reminds me of the animatronic band at Chuck E. Cheese. They're almost all gone now, having suffered the same fate as Chipper.

No, most locations still have at least one character.

[@alexdionisos]

@@lobot4780 They're even removing one character shows.

[@lobot4780]

Alex Dionisos Yes the Studio C stores are still subject to 2.0 remodels, but for all Animatronics to be completely fazed out of every store is something that will take many years.

[@coolcrawford]

As a fan of animatronics myself this was great to watch, and I love how it doesnt go down the same spooky animatronic route that copy a formula similar to fnaf of animatronics wanting to kill, the video shows chipper to be similar to a real person even if he is machine and puts real emotion into him even with his issues. And the accuracy of some of the movements to real bots too was a nice touch! Hope to see more projects which have animatronic themes take this path.

[@illioptopede]

An absolute masterpiece. It's seething with nostalgia, beauty, amazing filming and production. This draws the curtain into the darker, chaotic-neutral side to our sweet, beloved, peaceful Real Estate. It's tough not to shed a few tears with such astounding and poignant brilliance. Bravo! It also reminds me, in lonesome childhood, of peeking behind the curtains to see if the animatronics were still alive.

[@SolidBPix]

This was equally hilarious, touching, and depressing. Like a Tom Perotta short story come to life. Bravo.

This song will be around for generations...we will reminisce about the time when it was brand new...and it will still have the same emotion and effect on us all

[@iq9844]

It’s refreshing to see wholesome animatronics instead of murderous ones. FNAF really impacted on the genre for a while.

[@ricardohuante4729]

Well the fnaf robots are mand because they were murdered as kids and stuffed in suits so yeah they want revenge

[@stevenpina1983]

This absolutely touched my heart. How the animatronic character, despite being out of shape, tries to put a show for the kid. And even after vomiting a bunch of oil (I’m assuming it oil), the two embrace each other. A very sweet music video.❤️

[@mikepriano3796]

This song is sublime. Experiencing it before ever seeing the video stirred up a lot of emotions in me that conflict with how sunny this feels on the surface. Eventually I read Martin's comments about the track and it adds an awful lot in addition to my own emotional reaction. Later, I saw the video, and I'm just gutted and literally brought to tears by what Nick Roney and his collaborators added to it. It seems to be taken by many as black comedy, but for me it's so much more. It's almost unfathomable to me that so many feelings about living, dying, acceptance, loss, regret, innocence, unconditional love, nostalgia, cruelty and mortality could be captured in the form of a music video, let alone one for such an unpretentious and seemingly joyful piece of music. No need for me to describe my reaction specifically, but I was, and am just incredibly moved and so shaken up by something that seems on the surface to be a little slice of Summer pop. Every aspect of this seems to have spoken to me. I'll hold on to this one, probably forever. We all have those things that reach so deep inside that feel as if they were created for you alone. No way I can thank Martin, Real Estate and Nick enough.

[@Stewbob112]

I LOVE Chucke cheese and this video basically made me smile and cry in my mind a bit...Since I wish i could hug chuck and say....Your still MY favorite mouse no matter what they say to you....I wish i had an animatronic chuck in my room one day....Thank you for bringing my memories to a good use and to a great song....thanks!!!.....

It's very heartwarming how this music videos says on how some of the kids actually think the animatronics are not killer robots but instead friends and actually care of them, if CEC/chuck e cheese sees this they will be straight crying

[@casergio1754]

This song was on my head the days when I used to take my dog to the vet because of lepto. Sadly, my 7 year old cocker dog passed away after one and a half month. We tried hard to cure him, even though there were quarentine restrictions and the risk of getting coronavirus here in Peru. I also used to listen to this song to make me feel better after my dog died. RIP Max.

[@blueblousedesigns]

Very heartfelt. This reminds me of the only time in my life I've ever went to a Chuck-E-Cheese's. It was fun, but the family fun center that the eye doctor owned was 10x times more fun. When Chipper sparked and shattered, it was a reminder of how I wasted my childhood wanting an adult. Now, I'm 26 going on 27, and I STILL can't eat and do whatever I want, as my ten year old self kept believing.

This video takes the song into such another realm! As a parents we had had fun taking the kids to Cuck-E-Cheese. To be honest, we first discovered Chuck-E while out of state on our honeymoon. We got to Chuck-E with our first grandson just before it shut down. Needless to say this pulls at a lot of heartstrings. With that back drop there is such a story here of affection, maturing, supporting persevering and joy. It's really cool the way the song and additional story sounds are blended together. I just just the CD, but a rip of the video audio needs to go in the MP3 folder to make the set complete. Oh yea, the song.... The smooth sound, instrumentation, airy vocal and borderline disco sound are really unique Real Estate.

[@mangledmetal1]

I saw jeremy0’s comment and decided to comment for myself because I’m totally on the same page as they are. Admittedly, this video is very strange, but that doesn’t make it bad. In fact, it’s pretty moving in it’s own way. The fact that this kid is Chipper’s only fan left, and seems so lonely until Chipper himself puts on the effort to put on one last show just for him, is really bittersweet. All good things come to an end, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be forgotten.
