I love the idea of a Michael Jackson music video where there's a Japanese man in a white suit just wailing on people with bicycle in the background, occasionally hitting MJ himself in the back of the head by accident.

[@Actual-Jesse]

Clearly you never watched the You Are Not Alone music video

[@7U57HTJRYGHG]

but he dint make it to 2011

[@VerbalLearning]

@@7U57HTJRYGHG ngl i thought he did. That and Woolie and Reggie mentioned 1984 in this video so that made the most sense as the place to start and i had to get all the emote numbers in. I could move it all back by starting at 1974 and end at 2001 but idk if that's better or worse.

[@pedrox2006]

​@@VerbalLearningdon't worry it fits with all the Mich- sorry Miracle Johnson is alive theories at the time

[@graffitisamurai]

@@VerbalLearning that'd actually work too, because MJ was active in the 1974 with the Jackson 5 and 1983 was at Jackson's zenith coming right off Thriller.

[@coolfish420]

My Alien Antfarm story is that I went over to my friend's house and he told me to listen to this awesome new song, which was smooth criminal. Then we played Final Fantasy 8.

[@anonmcincognito4692]

Is that THE Miracle Johnson?

"Free Woolie"? We need a mock film poster of Woolie majestically launching himself out of a sea of garbage, over a fist-pumping Pat, stat!

[@SamuraiMensch]

Little V must be screaming in terror at the assumption that metal heads prefer AAF over the MJ version… 😂

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

im more terrified anybody considers Alien Ant Farm to be metal.

[@Kaarl_Mills]

got woolz Hyena laughing a little bit, we eating good today

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

smooth criminal was like michael jackson's 9th best song. people forget the early bangers that set his solo career like "rock with you" and "billy jean". these songs were well before my time but my dad had every michael jackson album and every van halen album and thats all he listened to....and you know what? he was right as fuck.

[@henriquez199]

I was going to say I feel like rock with you is the best song I. The off the wall album

[@jadaw644]

Billy Jean's very mainstream, but I agree with you on Rock With You.

[@zerwif]

Miracle Johnson (Black or White)

[@BlazexMadarao]

Love seeing the Split-Cam on Woolie and Reggie come to the center of the screen when they get into a longer conversation! Great feature added in :)

[@NosBlueade]

To comment engage, I won't deny AAF does capture the pure elements of what makes Smooth Criminal a catchy bop. That said, in the grand scheme of things it's a little too "criminal" and not enough "smooth". MJ's continue to strike that balance that stands the test of time and I'm pressed to imagine a version that could ever be considered superior.

[@YouCalledForTheDoc]

Yeah, so pretty sure you can’t beat MJ at dancing. Edit: Yep

[@wumbojet]

It's so funny to me that woolie for some reason thinks that you can't pick the easy option if you already completed it

[@jadaw644]

With the amount of times he cycled over them, you'd think he'd have at least tried to pick one of them. 😅

[@Xunkun]

@@jadaw644 NO BUT I NEED TO MAKE SURE THE HIGHLIGHTED OPTION IS THE ONE I'M _ACTUALLY_ SELECTING

[@jessebarnes5411]

Kudos to Yakuza for making woolie make the decision but I think there should have been an option that said "doesn't matter"

[@MinersLoveGames]

Woole Versus his audience.

[@quesoazul9]

Reggie killing it with the ad-libs!

[@thunderphoenix440]

This was my favorite side quest in the game and I'm glad they're enjoying it as much as I did.

[@MrDjWalnut]

16:34 Not only Off the Wall but I feel like even other songs on the Thriller Album itself get massively overshadowed. Baby be Mine is a huge banger and I literally somehow had never heard it until just a couple years ago

[@Actual-Jesse]

Woolie loves that BBC (Black Box Conflict-avoidance)

[@dylan_oby0284]

There was no "debate", you shot me on opening statement. Also, shame it overtook other title opportunities, both MJ sidestories are a highlight of the game.

[@TheAlison1456]

i'm not following this series but I had to watch this one. 18:45-19:05 what the fuck is going? 19:13 oh, this is the alien ant farm part I came here for. I thought it was something bad. 31:00 Woolie went from "it's rigged" to "trust the process" in a few seconds 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@larrymeadows7535]

I mean some would say Woolie made his choice a long time ago lol

[@Xunkun]

OK, so...... I remember after THE ALLEGATIONS, they interviewed a bunch of his (all white) friends and close employees. I forgot who the interviewee was, and I wanna say it was on _60 Minutes,_ forgive a near 30 year old memory, but I remember the question: "DID MJ do.... THAT thing?" And out of all that, I remember this specifically, because it was just such a softball question. Because if it was me, what i would have asked those people: _"IF_ MJ did .... THAT thing.... would _you_ do anything about it? Report it, ect?" Because _then,_ I'd save the video to study their reactions, who looks at who, who hesitates, who flinches. Because for that weak-ass question: of course they all said "no."

[@LuminousLead]

I haven't been keeping up with the series, so this is the first time I've seen the intro. It's charming!

[@JTF374]

You need a new mod? We can always talk. Just let me know. Lol

[@DYNEsama]

Look, I'm not denying that the original Smooth Criminal is immortal, nobody has done it better than MJ. But the Alien Ant Farm version... It's part of the soundtrack of my life. That album, start to finish, is one of my favourite albums of all time. I am perpetually stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s!

[@everettvonscott]

That whole album, Anthology, didnt have a bad song. Its still good.

[@alancalvillo6756]

Yakuza

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

very soon in the future, when there's less people alive who bought the original thriller album with michael jackson lounging on the cover. alot of people are going to look back at the whole michael jackson....catastrophe, and be intensely confused about what the hell all happened there. as they should because goddamn, that's the craziest shit bar-none. "wait, he had viteligo and that changed his skin color? well, then what happened to his nose? oxygen tent what? neverland ranch, huh?"

[@muovikallo]

I bow before the Saint Solidus, for he bowed to no-one.

[@eclipsesoluna3453]

yeah, I was scrolling through radio stations in my bro's truck one day and heard the first few seconds of the AAF version and I'm like, *OH HELL NAW* Kids these days, I fucking swear...

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

what the heck does a cover from 20 years ago have to do with "kids these days"?

[@eclipsesoluna3453]

@@miguelnewmexico8641 in this day and age its seems like children don't really have good taste in music

[@MementoMortis21]

I had never even heard of Alien Ant Farm, let alone their cover of Smooth Criminal, before this. For sake of fairness I checked it out, and I can safely say, no thanks, MJ's pop version (both song and music video) are far superior. And this is coming from someone who enjoys most forms of rock as my favorite music genre.

[@Stiganamatic]

lmao there's some real hater energy in this episode

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Alien Art Farm. Solidus.

[@stinkymarty]

What the hell is this. My favorite game is yakuza and my favorite band is alien ant farm this feels like a simulation

[@john77752]

Sounds like some people struck a cord with the MJ hate AND IT'S PROBABLY A MINORRRRRRRR!

[@user-vy9gb6iw1g]

JUSTICE FOR SOLIDUS DOWN WITH THE CENCERSHIP!!!

[@jcmorehead666]

[1] As a kid growing up in the 90's, and only being exposed to [1]-oriented radio, I only ever heard the AAF cover of Smooth Criminal until someone sat me down and played the original 20-odd years later. ...I still think the song is better at a faster tempo...

[@daviejay]

AAA had one other song and then all the members mysteriously... died of opioid overdoses because it was the early 00s.

[@everettvonscott]

Anthology was a great album.

[@ChrisMerkelStudios]

That would be incredible, if it were even slightly true. Not only are all of the band members still alive, the band released four albums since their cover of "Smooth Criminal", continues to be active to this day, and mostly still consists of the original lineup (minus bass player Tye Zamora).

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

d... do you think Farm starts with an A?

[@chucklestyle1470]

I know this is the internet and opinions are facts now but I also preferred the AAF version. Don't care for pop music personally. I also like pineapple on pizza. At the end of the day it's just music and subjective. (Ngl timing him out was funny though)

[@DinosaurSatan]

Dang, we respect the cover when somebody takes the metal song and makes it country, but not when the numetal band takes the pop song and makes it metal… /s

[@glaciomaniak6556]

Mj overrated

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

possibly. but things don't get overrated for no reason.

[@kingragnarok7302]

Never forget Solidus_113, for he was right.

[@bppoonbppoon9533]

another one for the wall, right here

[@posteriorpepperoni]

Right into the trash yeah

[@ChrisMerkelStudios]

Here's a real hot take: Thriller is overrated and overplayed. Not dissing the choreography of the music video or Vincent Price's stellar guest vocals, but as a track, it's not MJ's best work.

[@alejandro9043]

So yeah, this show that there isn't a think like democracy in any form of social media, now for sure, the user Hollow "whatever the rest of his name is" was impolite a that's not what we want and/or need, so it was correct to send him to the corner jail to think things better, but the mod Solidus, he was just giving an opinion in a polite way, but that didn't matter here, as the Dictator M. Woolie (reference to M. Bison, coming soon to SF6) just didn't like that and still send him to a UNFAIR timeout, and no, it doesn't matter if Solidus was in the correct or not because remember, "Opinions are many", what matter here is that M. Woolie just didn't care and still send him to the "no other opinions allowed here, only mine" jail for a UNFAIR sentence of 300 secs.

[@Sandberry]

This is a shitpost probably and the timeout was mostly as a joke but I mean... yeah. It's not a democracy. It's Woolie Madden's stream and, in theory, if someone says their favorite color is red and not green Woolie has the right to ban them. The rules and moderation are dictated by who's running the stream.

[@bentonic4998]

Oh i like m bison :)

[@stargrace420]

Who actually thinks or days that a twitch chat is a democracy lmao

[@Virus16th]

[@cyndryok]

I also agree that AAF did it better.

[@LinkinMark1994]

While I COMPLETELY disagree with Solidus, I think it’s really fucking petty timing people out for their opinions, especially your moderator. And the fact that y’all kept that in the VOD as what? Some attempt to “dab on the haters” for their “wrong opinions?”

[@Zangelin]

because it's really funny?

[@tylerlackey1175]

​@@Zangelin☝️🤓

[@switz6141]

Dude it's not that deep lol

[@Zeik56]

People like you take stream chats way too seriously. Don't act like getting timed out is equivalent to getting fined in real life by an authority figure or something. Getting timed out is barely a slap on the wrist, even under normal circumstances. There's no permanent consequences, so timing someone out as a joke could not be less serious.

[@U-Flame]

It was a bit. Why would they leave a funny bit out?
