SICKOS - ecchi AMV

[vivafruit]

Uh... okay.

The idea for this came along because I kept seeing amazing clips that were too horny to include in whatever AMV I was working on at the time. I'd just save them in a folder for later, and eventually after nine AMVs there were enough horny clips to just make an AMV out of them exclusively, haha. So I finally put the thing together... and of course the video promptly got deleted from youtube for violating content guidelines. Whoops. In other news, PornHub decided to start blocking submissions from unverified users just this week. So for now, it will have to languish on google drive.

It's a little disheartening, because I'm pretty happy with it and I think a lot of degenerates out there would enjoy it. But such is life. Maybe someone here will like it.

This marks the 10th AMV I've made this year, which is pretty insane to think about. Next year I'll have a better computer and can hopefully start making stuff in higher resolutions.

EDIT: YouTube reinstated the video after appeal!

I caught this on YouTube before it was taken down, so I'm happy you've posted it here.

I've got a love hate relationship with this vid already. I have to say, I really love your videos and this one is no exception. I love the sync you've got in this as well as matching the clips so well to the mood of the song and the different sounds. On the other hand watching this also makes me feel kinda icky
Honestly that's kind of an achievement, I've seen most of these clips before so I'm pretty desensitised to them, but something with the way you've put this together makes me feel like I shouldn't be watching it, like I'm some kinda voyeur or something. Not quite sure how else to describe it, no idea if that's what you were going for. Damn you, your videos always make feel complicated things that are hard to describe.
Also, the addition of the weird cartoon dude made me laugh out loud (not sure if that's some kind of reference to something I'm missing, but whatever).

Woot! I decided to appeal last night, and YouTube almost immediately reinstated the video. I think if your video is taken down from a copyright claim, you are pretty much dead. But I guess you should try appealing if your video gets taken down for being too horny.

Amazing, glad you love-hated it. Yeah my goal was to make people just a bit uncomfortable. Doing that makes the humor more effective, and also pushes my personal agenda. I think art and AMVs in particular should be sexier and less violent, and pushing the boundaries of comfort is one of the best ways to shift the overton window. I hear you about the clips already being heavily used - that was definitely a doubt in the back of my head. At the same time the quality of good ecchi clips falls off so quick that the super popular ones felt sort of mandatory. It's good to hear the clips still did their job even though you had seen them a lot.

The weird cartoon dude comes from an American satire newspaper called the Onion. The cartoonist, who goes by Kelly, is sort of a genius at making parodies of political cartoons. The sickos guy in particular has a page on knowyourmeme. Here's the original image:

I laughed out loud when I saw the Kelly cartoon guy in the thumbnail. I never expected to see him star in the actual video, though, so that's definitely a creative choice that no one else was every going to bring to an AMV! Part of me loves that he does reappear throughout the video because it's a constant reminder that you're not taking this incredibly seriously and neither should the viewer. And I've seen lots of fanservice-themed videos that had lots of provocative scenes but were just not fun at all, so I'm happy to say this AMV is not one of them. This was pretty well-synced in all the ways I've come to expect from your work. Sorry, I don't have much else to say about this one!

This.

And this.
