Mickey Mouse commited suicide.

[Ridley-X4]

Read the description. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_h1dY66Rm4) End of Evangelion has nothing on this.

[Old Ape Face]

OMG OMG OMG Mickey Mouse Died, AGAIN!!!!!!!! what the hell I thought he was immortal or something OMG!!!

[Neko]

^Just read the thread title and replied?

I couldn't get to the end of that video, it's too uncomfortable to watch. It's just... ugh. I don't even know how to describe it. It's not even that bad, but something about it just freaked me out. Only made it to 4:10.

Maybe I shouldn't have been watching it with headphones.

[Caster13]

How is this suicide exactly?

[Neko]

^You have to read the description to the video. The thread title doesn't make any sense, I don't know why he said that.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I read the description and made it to the end of the video.

It's a good video but it's definetly fake. Cool urban legend though

[tenshi_a]

It's been a while since anything like this turned up. Or rather, turned up and was big enough to pull in a few thousand curious people. I wonder if it's been submitted to snopes yet.

I read the description and got scared even though it totally sounds fake.

The animation eventually loaded (my internet connection is so dreadful!) and it totally isn't 1930s style Mickey Mouse, and it looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint. Looped film animation doesn't look like that - it looks like a cheap attempt to look like freaky unfinished film animation.

The music sounds freaky.

The comments mention where people think the scream is taken from. I didn't get that far in the video; I decided to close the tab. Even with it looking totally like a fake thing, it still creeped me out. I'm just very easy to scare. -_-;

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Yup, I found the fourchan thread where the guy drew the loop.

[Old Ape Face]

Gave me the chills but really it's not like it's real.

[Arnold]

Creepy as hell. (and I already find 1920s cartoons to be slightly creepy)

Good thing I didn't get a phone call just now, or I'd be half expecting Mickey to come at me from out of the screen in one week.

Apparently that youtube video isn't the original, but a damn close representation of it.

The Original was apparently much worse, but was removed from the internet apparently

[taily]

I want to make a horror film out of this.

[superplough]

I cant even watch it

[taily]

And yes, the fearless taily is now afraid to walk to the corner shop.

[Old Ape Face]

I want to see the Original just to say "I did" and "I'm now too scared to go to sleep."

[Jack_Bauer]

i want my seven minutes back......

[taily]

Oh stop trying to be hard.

[Caster13]

That wasn't scary at all, what's the big deal?

[Jack_Bauer]

Oh stop trying to be hard.

yea I saw that response at youtube.

But really, I want my seven minutes back.

[Old Ape Face]

Really how can you not say it's scary?

makes me want to see the original even more.

[Neko]

There really wasn't anything about it that made it scary, but for some reason it majorly creeped me out anyway. I still don't know how to describe it, but it was a really weird feeling.

I went back and watched the parts I didn't make it to without sound (which made it a lot more bearable) and it didn't really match up to what it said in the description... at all. There isn't even a sidewalk in the video at all, let alone one changing to directions that would be physically impossible. And the green stuff wouldn't have even been possible in the 1930's, right? Someone should make a better video based on that description.

You are suppose to look at the screen at a sort of horizontal tilt, it's a physiological trick.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

The story in the description is much more spooky than the video itself which was ... a little dull. Pretty creepy but ... boring. The only thing that really worries me was what did they do to the actors to get them to make those sounds? (this is Walt Disney after all :P ).

Then again I am a little adrenalin-shaky right now for some reason... maybe there's more to it than I thought. :P

like I said the way to look at the screen changes the whole picture, I've heard the original is much creepier.

[MirKz]

Wouldn't say it was scary, very creepy. Yes.

[Aragami]

I found it interesting overall.

[Old Ape Face]

Ok sudenlly it's time to go to bed and I'm creeped the hell out, and can't sleep, I only watched this once today too.

[Arnold]

For the hell of it, I watched the whole thing again in full screen on Youtube with all the lights out.

You know what? Maybe it's just knowing what's going to happen in advance, but it wasn't as disturbing as I thought it would be.

[taily]

It's interesting to note that one of the buildings looks like a screaming face. Maybe that contributes to the uneasy feeling subconsciously, like subliminal.

[Nakey]

i want my seven minutes back......

you too, huh?

[Takumi Fujiwara]

well, that's pretty odd, I didn't watch it all the way through, I fast forwarded through the "boring" parts (like the 2 min long loop with nothing but some "horror movie" scream in the backround). Honestly the creepiest part is the dude walking through the doorway in the last ~7 sec of the video. Though as someone who's seen some of the worst things the internet has to offer, this is awful tame.

[Nakey]

seriously, 20 years of shock ads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2mf8DtWWd8) creeps me out more than this crap...

[Old Ape Face]

I heard screaming in my head all last night, and the image of a blurry faced Mickey Mouse just ominously looking at me.

it was creepy as hell.

[Rei]

The music is interesting.

[Leader Desslock]

So... someone who somehow thought Paranormal Activity was a scary movie decided to make a bad Mickey Mouse hoax?

I'm supposed to be impressed... why?

I've never seen paranormal Activity but it's anything like that, I want to see it now...

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Paranormal Activity was a great movie.

[Aragami]

I'm supposed to be impressed... why?

It's kind of art.

[Leader Desslock]

^ That is a usage of the word 'art' of which I'd previously been unaware, I guess.

Seriously, this one shouldn't have fooled a fifth grader. It could have been made by a fifth grader. It certainly has that level of subtlety, the complete lack of pacing... I guess I don't see what the fuss is about, here.

Nobody is actually taking it seriously, are they? Just the 'more info' text gives it away, doesn't it? All the hallmarks of a Fail Hoax are right there. Badly looped animation with a couple one-click effects, a really bad audio track and WAY too much time spent on the gag.

I could understand MAYBE if someone was on an acid trip while watching it, it might hold his attention for a minute or two, but... seriously, what else are you people seeing, here?

Remember that "ghost in a car ad" fake commercial a while back that had you stare at the screen right before someone in a ghost mask jumped out and yelled "BOO!"? That was much better done.

The youtube comments claim this is a mock up of the original, obviously the original wouldn't be that much more impressive coming from the 1930s.

But coming from a viewers prospective, this version is not too far off from the original. So I guess it's all based on the subjective viewers opinion.

[tenshi_a]

The youtube comments claim this is a mock up of the original, obviously the original wouldn't be that much more impressive coming from the 1930s.

I think they're probably just saying that in an attempt to recover from the fact it looks totally faked and made on a computer.

This video is probably the result of two guys, one saying to the other:
A: People scare so easily! [guffaw] I bet I could scare anyone with a video.
B: I bet you couldn't
A: I bet I could! Give me a subject and I'll make a video to scare people with it
B: Ok, $50 says you can't scare people with a video of Mickey Mouse
A: You're on!

et voila, we have a youtube video!

[Neko]

I'm pretty sure this "original" that is spoken of doesn't exist. The story is probably just as made up as the video.

[Leader Desslock]

The youtube comments claim this is a mock up of the original...
Even you aren't that gullible, Yukimura. Hells, even Walt's not that gullible. You cannot possibly believe that an original exists. You've believed all sorts of completely nonsensical and contradictory things over the years, Yukimura, but there has to be a limit somewhere.

[superplough]

While I dont exactly believe it, watching that video after reading that awas still too creepy for me. But then, I get creeped out very easily. I couldn't even watch Silent Hill -_-;

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Ya know there's a few problems with this video, but my biggest is the last pragraph in the description:

From a security guard working under me who was making rounds outside of that room, I was told that after the last frame, the employee stumbled out of the room with pale skin saying "Real suffering is not known" 7 times before speedily taking the guards pistol and offing himself on the spot. The thing I could get out of Leonard Maltin was that the last frame was a piece of russian text that roughly said "the sights of hell bring its viewers back in."

It's like yeah they threw all subtelty out the window and went for horror cliches. I'd have rather had something along the lines of "the employee reportedly had nightmares and his mental health deterioriated after that," that thing with the security guard letting an employee grab his gun and shoot himself in the head sounds like something the "Darkness Falls" movie would do.


Also I'd have rather had the video be a bit more subtle, because the description describes something more strange than just "the video gets all photoshoppy and babies start screaming," I was imaging somethign like the TV scene from Ju-On the Grudge where the picture gradually distorts and the sound stalls and starts clicking and eventually gargling.

That'd have kicked ***.

The first two minutes are good though, that piano does sound really weird and that loop of Mickey Mouse is authentically weird. The way he drags his feet and the way he moves his head in paritcular is really jerky and almost Silent Hillish.

Offtopic: can film reels have static?

[waltsoph3]

So... someone who somehow thought Paranormal Activity was a scary movie decided to make a bad Mickey Mouse hoax?

Yeah that makes 2 of us. I wasn't really impressed with this either.

@the thread
I got try to make a joke out of this since the title of the thread is:
Mickey Mouse commited suicide.

OMG the creator killed mickey!
You @@@@@@d!

[Old Ape Face]

What if there isn't an original? Honestly it does perk my interests a little, but not enough to complain about it's none existence.

As it is now, even if there is no original, the current presentation appears to make sense and actually does seem to fulfill it's purpose to a few people, Including myself, who I admit let our imaginations go crazy for stuff like this.

Gullible is a tough word to use here, since really what am I falling for? a fake story? I really don't have an opinion over the story except that it seems to do it's job for some people.

The stage was set with the right variables to poke at a few people's nerves a little, seems to have served it's purpose.

Sure this makes me sound like I'm afraid of stuff, but really, that's just natural.

I agree; even if it is fake, it's fun to immerse yourself in the weirdness of it all. If there is no original, then so be it.

Doesn't matter if it's real or fake, the bizarre imagery and cacophonous music was unsettling enough for me, at least the first time around.

[Holy Knight]

I am of the opinion that something can be fake and amateurish while still being quite scary. That lengthy description was certainly enough for me to promptly close the window without seeing more than 2 minutes of the video. Stuff like that just gets to me in ways I do not at all like.

I only saw the video once, completely and I've had a tough time sleeping at night ever since.

Gullible is a tough word to use here...
If you are allowing for even the tiniest possibility that this is anything other than a hoax, then I really don't have any other word I can use. 'Gullible' is all I've got for a situation like that.

I mean, I can't fathom what you'd find creepy about it, but if you find it creepy, then so be it. But let's not pretend that anything about that little backstory's real. Let it be creepy without the patently impossible, textbook-hokum, B-movie narrative.

[Siendra]

If you are allowing for even the tiniest possibility that this is anything other than a hoax, then I really don't have any other word I can use. 'Gullible' is all I've got for a situation like that.

There was actually some pretty odd stuff produced during a period in the 1950's when Disney was contracted artists to do some work with their characters.

I mean, I doubt something of this ilk ever existed, but I won't totally discredit the possibility.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I'm sure there's Huanted Mickey Mouse cartoons, but the suicide mouse video is not.

What's funny is the description is actually somewhat altered from the original on 4chan's /x/ forum, in the original (which you can find on the 4chan archive, which is nsfw btw) the guy who shoots himself says " "i can not see what has been unseen."

You can see why they changed that line for the "final product."

[Old Ape Face]

Perhaps I don't care it is a hoax, sure I read the Youtube comments, everyone said it was a fake, I accepted it and moved on. ButIf there is an original to it that's interesting, and people have said it has been taken down (or in your opinion never existed at all). Either way if that is the case there is nothing we can say more about it unless we find an original.

I hardly count this as being gullible.

See - that sort of thing went on all the time. Animators/Comic Artists get bored and doodle little odd/dark things to pass the time. Maybe that's where the guys who made the hoax got the idea, in fact.

That doesn't make the hoax any more believable, of course.

[taily]

Oh for gods sake Yukimura Sanada, we all shat ourselves and had a giggle, but it's ended, get over it, move on.

I want to creep myself out one day and sit in front of the mirror and say "Biggie smalls" 3x... or Candyman 5x
