Why the MTV bumpers so fucking scary, were they part of some MKUltra type of shit?https://youtube.com/watch?v=DdQdF0560Uc
>>215529955Stuff like that was considered edgy back then.
>>215529955>MKUltra100%
I was one of those kids with a queasy stomach. My cousin showed me the grossest of gross Garbage Pail Kids cards and turned me into an ultra-barfer. Recently I found out the entire series was Jewed from top to bottom. Imagine my surprise.
>>21552995590s was the gross out decade.
>>215530092>>215531628Yeah it was fucking everywhere for a while.
>>215530092>back then.I just watched a bit of OP's video and it still would be. What's edgy to you? Posting a big black johnson?
>>215529955youre a limpwristed faggot desu
>>215532475I remember the smell
>>215529955Probably to freak out the people who would watch the channel high
>>215532475I remember that ad. It was like three pages long and it came with a gross scratch and sniff panel.Good stuff.
>>215529955Zoomers and a lot of millennials don't understand that back in the day when you got high you watched mtv, like this anon >>215533371 said.Comedy central was in its infancy, there was no adult swim, hbo was only recently starting to get popular, there was literally nothing else on.So that's what you did, you smoked your shitty weed and watched mtv.And these bumps are explicitly designed for those people, because that's also the sort of people in the editor's booth.
>>215529955I always loved when creatives back then said fuck it and commissioned work to upstarting artists. Similar to liquid television.I am too casual to know the names but several art styles are familiar, some I recognize from [AS] bumpers later on.
>>215533619>And these bumps are explicitly designed for those people, because that's also the sort of people in the editor's booth.Well the image of the channel, much like fox at the time, is that they wanted to be totally different from what you could see on regular tv so all these new channels began to be edgier and capitalize on unexplored segments.Also that is the kind of shit you get when you let creatives do whatever they want, you end with weird stuff, I have made some myself when I am allowed to have some creative input. I have been accused of being weird because I was too inspired by bumpers and art like this which still exists in the back of my head.Even in my 30s I think this stuff is totally cool.Then I met MTV crews from the 2010s, complete fucking homos and tumblr tier retards and faggots with a stick up their holes 24/7. MTV died when SJWs were allowed on the crew and only seek to destroy the channel to have more of them on board. Total body snatchers type situation.And all of that was enabled when we stopped thinking about the people we wanted to cater to and started using social media as metrics.Bogus.
>>215533619Yeah, this is also why music videos were so fucking wild in the early 90s. It was basically THE programming, and bands like Primus got so big in part of that. There were others too that got a lot of replay but were basically one hit wonders like Green Jellyhttps://youtu.be/Gtffv9bpB-U?si=3ByU8Ob9ehHJ-z5v
>>215529955When did this board become a bunch of pussy ass faggots?
>>215529955MTV was for teenagers and young adults. The idents had to look like things that this demographic thought looked cool. Gives a good opportunity for ad agencies, animation studios, and video artists to showcase their talents. MTV aired weird cartoons in the 90s too. Pretty much adult swim before its time. The music videos for big acts were pretty weird looking. The bumpers are not weird juxtaposed to the rest of the programs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAghttps://youtu.be/n6P0SitRwy8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ827lkktYs>>215533755>MTV died when SJWs were allowed on the crewlol, you're retarded. Music is always at the forefront of progressiveness. I always wonder what kind of planet someone like you is from to say silly stuff like that. MTV had been lame for a while before the 2010s. All the non-music related reality shows brought in the women 25-55 demographic. When execs see that shit, it's over. Everything gets focused on that demo because they're the biggest spenders and require no quality (expensive) content, only quantity. Guess who's also the biggest biggest sucker for social issue demo?
>>215529955I'd say yes. It conditioned a generation to be enthralled by grotesquery amd ugliness.
>>215534086>He says while posting on 4chan
>>215530092https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90-2jBSFRZMIn child psychology it’s one of the first ways boys prove their masculinity, not being grossed out by gross stuff. Then they move on to seeing who can drink the most soda or who can eat really sour or hot foods etc. Then when they grow up it’s drinking the most alcohol and sleeping with the most women and fighting. The Harry Potter jelly beans played into it.
>>215534065Spot on, anon. MTV died for the same reason other channels by Viacom generally sucked. They pushed out talent and put pencil pusher money savers in chargeAlso this video always freaked me outhttps://youtu.be/eRvfxWRi6qQ?si=_x214ibsyYAAAuho
>>215529955What are you OP, some kinda school marm?
>>215533371Adult Swim did the same thing for awhile too. There's one that really freaked people out I can't remember at the moment, but I'm bumping this thread in case I remember it later. It seemed to hit some kind of weird Videodrome frequency to trigger a fear response.
>>215535648It was The Heart, She Holler.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UYHTKdMg24They'd have jumpscares with that woman in random spots for other shows too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BjKYYlnR1YThey only did it very late at night and it seemed to catch a lot of people just right in that half awake/half asleep zone.
>>215529955Artists actually got paid to make cool shit back then instead of now where it's all nepotism and spending half your budget so johnny depp or will smith's retarded kids have a role
>>21552995590s artfags with a budget.
>>215530092>this made boomer parents shit piss and barf themselves uncontrollably while leaving angry machine messages to the PTA.FINISH HIM
>>215529955It's called having a sense of humor which you should recognize considering what a pathetic fucking joke your entire life is you cocksucker!!!FACT!!!
>>215530092cumming on a kid IS edgy I cant believe they did that
>>215533950Ho-lee-shit… Anon, I completely forgot about this video. Wow. I was 14 when this came out.
>>215536036>They'd have jumpscares with that woman in random spots for other shows too.I believe that was for one April Fool's night.
I miss the 90shttps://youtu.be/zrXbZMNVb8k
>>215530092>>215534439https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp7vteTuDzQGot this played with it once and got the goop pressed into the carpet and never got to use it again. The alien just became a monster that would trap my other toys inside it.
grossout youth humor of the 90s I think
>>215529955It's called creativity you neopuritanical zoomzoom, not everything is a satanic psyop
a quality effort posting thread out of nowhere. as anons ITT have pointed out adult swim was even more creepy in their advertising https://youtu.be/FNJXfsGKfjA>>215539037lol amen
