Murdoc: Want something done, do it your bloody self...

Murdoc: Well I don't know about you, but I think I've been absolutely terrific tonight. Answered a wide range of my own questions. Even replied to a few of yours, you lucky lot. Right, I better go and check on 2D. He probably needs a new ice pack for those knackered thumbs. LATERS.

i love how 2-Ds eyes only turn white when he is happy or away from Murdoc. it really shows how Murdoc effects his mood.

I love how Noodle is absolutely star-struck when Q starts rapping. Me too Noodle, me too.

And WTF is up with Noodle? How comes she keeps getting younger? Murdoc: Strong moisturiser. Nah, it’s some freaky new power. Her style mutates each time she hears a banging tune. We should probably call a doctor, but she seems happy so why bother.

Murdoc: Allo you lot. Here I am. Fashionably late, as per. Any Qs? If so make it quick, got places to be.

This man is 54 years old still making hits

2D is projecting some powerful stress vibes and Noodle picked up on it, tried to interrupt that in her own way.

And where do you want to go in your portal, Mr Niccals? Murdoc: Where DON'T I want to go! Actually, don’t really fancy Stoke-on-Trent. But other than that, world’s my oyster.

Tell me, Murdoc, why did you need an inflatable Pamela doll to construct this marvel? Murdoc: Pamela is my travel companion. Not that it’s any of your BUSINESS.

ScHoolboy’s rapping skills were so good that they caused Noodle to change artstyles EDIT: They actually WERE! As it turns out, Noodle has the ability to change artstyles when she hears music she likes!

2:45 Noodle literally teleported out of the room when ScHoolboy said he's over 30 lmaoo

Obvious question numero uno: What’s in the box, Murdoc? Murdoc: Can’t you read? Literally says it on the front. It’s my masterpiece - my ORGONE ACCUMULATOR! That lot can keep their pathetic little crevice, I’m in the driving seat now.

What's going on with Stuart's eyes? They look almost normal... Murdoc: Great question, Murdoc. Well, he’d been playing that thing for nine hours straight. I bought it for him as a heartfelt apology, cheer the lad up. How I was I to know it would send everyone doolally.

The PACMAN machine says "Melt It's Face" what a throwback to the animations :D For those who aren't aware, back when og MTV still played music videos, the Gorillaz came out with a handful of funny animations to give the characters personality and depth beyond the actual music videos. One of which, Murdoc melts the face of an eel while wearing just his underwear... You're welcome

Just realised how reminiscent of spirit house this is with everyone doing their vices/addictions 2D loses himself in video games Murdoc in the joy/shame whichever he truly recieves it as of isolation and deviancy, noodle texting and being social media active and Russel is a very fit man compared to his previous illustrations, he's come far with his body but he's obviously using it as a massive relief by the determination and the last punch

Everybody: theorizing about the music video Me: hey thats peanuts noodle 2:31

Cool how Russel is still percussion here, he's just playing the punching bag lol

Fun Fact: According to Murdoc, when in the studio, Noodle's "style mutates each time she hears a banging tune." note how he said *each*... This means it has happened both before and after this video...

I can’t get over how this was 2 years ago I still remember squealing over 2d’s little dance

2005: it's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up.... 2020: I'm stressing out, I'm stressing out, I'm stressing out...

Everyone saying 2020 is so terrible, just remember... *We have Noodle as a Peanuts character*

So, I'm really curious about Murdoc's little time out shack and I see barely anyone talking about it and all the weird little details. The box he's sitting in is an Orgone accumulator which is some pseudoscience rubbish that you basically sit in and depending on where to look either is a form of therapy or increases libido. The door itself looks pretty manic, covered in (claw marks?) scratches and has a lot of writing all over it, including a really old fashion way to say 'no entry'. The post-it note on the door says 'Freud bacon and eggs' which is a phrase linked to propaganda. Inside, other than his uh- "photography collection" is more deep scratches and the phrase "Phantom tollbooth" with a tally of 12 under it This could all mean nothing at all but it was interesting to look at. The only thing I can confirm is Murdoc is a complete nutcase

Fun fact: This IS Damon Albarn’s current ACTUAL studio being used in this video! 😅😁

I like how despite Russel not playing the drums, he's still doing percussion for the beat.

This is the chillest existential crisis song ever.

I swear to god it takes me a couple years to fully appreciate a song, im back and im more in love

Russel on that punchbag is probably the most active I’ve ever seen him in a Gorillaz music video - the vast majority of the time he’s sitting down, either sleeping or looking as though he’s contemplating life.

Evolution of gorillaz: 2-D: is 42 but hasn’t aged Murdoc: transforms into a pickle Russel: gets musclier Noodle: ages like a normal person

2:30 Noodle as a Peanuts character is absolutely adorable

can we just appreciate the vocals on this though, like dam, i didnt know 2d's voice could go that deep

I love how the moment noodle realises that 2D has been on the pac man cabinet for aparently 10 hours, she just turns on creative mode and warps away from Q

Even when he isn't actually drumming, Russel's still the drummer

The fact that Russle is boxing to the beat

no one gonna talk about how Russel's punches is the beat in the music

I love how Gorillaz is never really repetitive

I love how Gorillaz is just having a conversation with murdoc in the comments

Noodle: *actually ages* 2-D: “N O.”

I love how Noodle seems unaffected by being eaten in the game yet she's the one who unplugs it.

Noodle as a Charlie Brown style is a thing I never knew I wanted.

I like that Russel punches the bag to the beat.

i love the way russel’s punches make the beat cause he’s still the drummer of the band, it’s a cool detail

I once saw a post the said "guest rapper on a gorillaz song: been in ends since ten kickin product round the bend, diagnosed with scoliosis, mum died of tuberculosis - damon albarn on the chorus: ohhhhhh flimsy steve, where have you been, what have you seen" and I feel like this song is a pretty good example of that

seeing Gorillaz and their collab artists together is surreal. It's almost like they're real in a way, it's quite funny seeing cartoon characters "in real life"

What are the Gorillaz doing under quarantine? Russel: Working out Noodle: Vibing 2D: Retro gaming Murdoc: Building portals to Hell and most likely planning to take over the world

gorillaz is casually multi-cultural: they've got white, black, Asian and of course, green.

I swear noodle in her 20s-entering-30s- is the phase where most of the time she is moody or really happy 😂

2:20 noodle fangirling💀

murdoc really is getting greener with each music video

Can we just talk about how hard this whole project slaps so far.

I wonder.. how did 2d go from “I C-CANT KILL IT! 🥺“ to “alrighty~ 😌“

I like how this music video was released right around the time when quarantine started and the characters look like they are being quarantined.

I love how russel only hits the bag to the drumbeat, he's still the drummer even without the set

Peanuts Noodle is the most cursed/cute thing we’ll see in a while

You can freak me out You can throw me in the lion pit You can borrow my hands And tell me I'm not here I'm a mad Pac-Man Livin' in a leveled world Everywhere I go I don't know where I am You can call me cracked You can call me mad and stifled You can hold my hand Sail me into bathing light Everybody knows When I was sad, I fell for you Everywhere I go No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out, stressin' out You can hide your head You can throw me in the lion pit You can borrow my days And tell me I'm not blue Everybody knows When I was sad, I fell for you Everywhere I go I don't know where I am No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out, no stressin' out No stressin' out Uh, how can I trust truth? Uh, when I ain't got nothin' to sell I shattered my thoughts to get out my shell Uh, why would I hold my tongue to tuck in my tails? Ayy, can't dream if my ego is broke, nah The jokes that try to find the answer to nope (uh) My type of drive, you can't buy this shit You got a heart but it don't beat like this I had a spark, then my mind went trip Create the wave so the vibe all mix I'm a mad Pac-Man Livin' in a leveled world Yo, I been at the top of the top Fell from the ceiling before I fail 'Cause I needed to grow, Bruce Lee, royal with the glow Uh, walked on the edge, fuck tryna dream in the bed 'Fore I die on these meds, niggas gon' die on the feds 'Fore I make it to jail, prolly put one in the head Fuck the judge and the prosecutor for hangin' me dead Plus thirty and still movin', I'm closer to live, right? Closer to live, right? All the trauma from past never taught me to fear heights Normal to fly now, can't be stuck in the red lights Take flight, the life gon' bloom for the Black Knight Keep the peace, no Buddhist, got the whole hood boomin' I'm like a Crip how I stewed it, you on your ass, stuck, stupid You makin' we look bad, I rock the beat, won't crash I had to fill my bag, I had to hide my stash You know the cops' lights flash, I had to clear my dash I represent my flag, I gave the hood my last Every full-grown minute, I had to change my image The brain don't got limits, you think a mill' mean winnin' Pigs out here skinnin', your soul ain't authentic You died and still ain't livin'

Today this masterpiece is already three years old!!! I just can't believe it! over time, the song seems to only get better. how I adore her... I've been listening to this since I was quarantined. this song, and indeed this album keeps a lot of my memories... I miss those times :(

I'm 70% sure Murdoc doesn't want to come out because he's afraid Russel will beat his ass again.

I still cant get over how grown up Noodle looks... I cant see her as anything but the little girl when Gorillaz first started out.

I love the little details like Murdoc's eyes being dilated when he comes out the darkness of his home made portal

The fact this came out 2 years ago fucking hell i remmeber the album premiers :(

I only got it. Russel is still playing a role of a drummer in the clip. He provides the "beat".

2d's eyes is returning, But russel can't have his *EEL* back

Es muy buenisima esta cancion por que soy amante delos juegos clasicos

how did murdoc become green tho now hes like glowing

Facts: Gorillaz songs gets better the more you listen to them.

2d ascended so much he made himself some pupils

I just realized that at 2:44 noodle looks like a Charlie Brown character

Russel punching to the beat is such a cool little detail

People: What instrument do you play? Russel: It's... complicated.

I love the fact that Murdoc built a cyborg carbon copy of Noodle and programmed a drum machine to replace Russel... And then goes and draw a "retina scanner" with crayon and call it a day.

0:16 "I'm gonna play some Pacman! Yeah I'm gonna play some Pacman!"

Legend has it murdoc still cant decide if hes getting out of the portal box

At this point, we still need an animated gorillaz show

2D: *having fun* The rest of Gorillaz: "Peace was never an option."

I love the sync of this song with the animation

I loved seeing Pac-Man in 2D’s eyes it reminds me when he had eyes

This is all extremely fascinating, Murdoc, but what actually IS an orgone accumulator? Murdoc: Bloody hell. An orgone accumulator is a device that accumulates orgones, obviously. Keep up!

“Song machine returns in September” well at least it’s shorter than their hiatus after The Fall lol

I love the way 2D was doing a little dance at the start so cute😭🤭💅

2:35 noodle looks so cute in the peanuts style

I come back to watch 2D excitedly bounce over the Pac-Man machine daily

2-D: Starts singing. Russel: *Unintentional drums*

0:15 why nobody is talking about his little dance? i love it so much🥺

It's crazy how much this one in particular feels like a lost track from Demon Days

Someone in the live chat said "omg murdoc is so sexy" and it's keeping me up at night.

This song is utter gold, has some serious early 2000s gorillaz energy

I love how noodle turns into a Charlie brown character when she's probably tweeting about ScHoolBoy rapping in her studio

It took me 2 years to realize that in the game, 2D looks like Pac-Man, while the rest of the band are the ghosts.

2D: gaming Noodle: chillin with Q Russell: boxing Murdoc: C L O S E T

"Gorillaz returns in September" Me: I waited for Plastic Beach 5 years, i can wait now

Noodle looks so cute with Liners drawing her!

2D: Videogame addict Murdoc: Quarantine himself Russel: Rocky Balboa Noodle:Charlie Brown Good fact: we get to see their house Sad fact: SEPTEMBER NOO

Did you remember when noodle was just a Tinny kid in a box?

Wow! Cant believe they got the real Mike Tyson to come in to hit the bag for this video!

Who's watching in the summer?

Song: About falling into a depressive episode and burning out on things you once enjoyed Comments: *yO NOODLE KINDA HOT THO*

My body is ready Edit: It wasn't ready

2:31 peanuts noodle is just cute

That lil dance at the beginning

...I'm scared that 2d had "pupils" even for a little bit
