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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

2:30 Noodle as a Peanuts character is absolutely adorable

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

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

0:13 "alrighty.... *Dances cutely*"

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*

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

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

This is the chillest existential crisis song ever.

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

I like that Russel punches the bag to the beat.

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

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.

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

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

2D: Is 51 years old hasn't aged a bit Russel: Fat cheeks Murdoc: Pickle Noodle: Actually ages like a real person

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

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

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

When a Gorillaz song sounds like a banger immediately after the first listen rather than after multiple listens, you know it is REALLY good

2D: * enjoys himself for 15 seconds and isn't depressed * reality itself: "wait, that's illegal."

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

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

murdoc really is getting greener with each music video

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.

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

The fact that Russle is boxing to the beat

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

I love how Gorillaz is never really repetitive

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

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

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

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

2d ascended so much he made himself some pupils

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

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

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

This represents the 4 types of people during Quarantine right now... Noodle: Waiting it out, not getting worse or better, just continuing as they have been. Russel: Using this time to better themself for good mentally/physically, and learning new things. Murdoc: Paranoia kicks in, hiding and not wanting to leave/be sick. 2D: People turn to their vices and addictions to get through the quarantine, such as alcohol and hard drugs.

Therapist: Charlie Brown Noodle isn't real, she can't hurt you Charlie Brown Noodle: 2:32

I like how when Murdoc exits his place his eyes adjust to the light, they put so much detail into these animations!

1:09 i love how his smile fades away in each "stressing out"

I love how Noodle is the only one whose Appearance reflects her Age, 2D Looks barely 30, Russell looks like hes in his early 20s, and Murdoc is murdoc

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

Therapist: “2-D with pupils isn’t real, he can’t hurt you.” 2-D with pupils: 1:11

1:09 it feels very illegal to see 2-D with pupils

Has nobody ever realized that Russel has been getting into shape. He looks better than phase one.

I've really enjoyed how Jamie's art style has progressed over the years.

At this point, we still need an animated gorillaz show

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

Gorillaz: *"Song Machine returns in September"* Fans: *_We're_** gonna do what's called a pro-introvert move*

is nobody going to talk about how freaking adorable noodle is as a peanuts character

The fact that they can deliver songs of this quality 19 years after their debut is astounding

2:22 HELP NOODLE IS SO CUTE 😭🤚

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.

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

“Plus 30 and still movin’, im closer to live right?” *Noodle immediately turns and looks, probably realising she’s turning 30 this year* yeah. me too, Noodle.

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

The music video is about 2D replacing his addiction to pain killers with an addiction to pac-man.

I remember that one day Jamie said that his favourite super hero was Charlie Brown, so I think that the time that Noddle looks like a character of Peanuts, it's like a cameo

2D saying "alllriighty :D" and then bouncing excitedly to play pacman is just pure dopamine for me

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

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

Russel: Being an amazing boxer Noodle: Vibing and changing art styles 2D: Gaming for 9 hours straight Murdoc: Probably trying to create a portal

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

0:28 I love how it says "Phantom tollbooth" on the wall

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

Nobody talking about how Noodle became a “Peanuts” character.

“2D with real eyes isn’t real, he can’t hurt you” *2D with real eyes* - 1:12

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"

It's actually pretty awesome how diverse the band is.. A white guy An African American gentlemen An Asian girl And the Grinch himself Edit: my dudes, relax, it's just a joke, don't get into race and shit here -.-

"Everywhere I go, I don't know where I am." Is that a reference to how Pac Man is always in a maze, and, from his point of view of the game, he doesn't know if ghosts are around the corner?

Gorillaz evolution: 2D: slowly growing his 2 front teeth back Merdoc: became more green Russell: got less fat and more muscles Noodle: aged like a normal human unlike the rest of the crew

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 :(

Every video: 2Ds legs take over more of his body Murdoc gets greener Noodle gets older Russel gets more irrited

Old Noodle: The rest of the band tries to protect her New Noodle: She's the one getting them out of trouble

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

OK guys here’s what’s happening in the video: Russel, Noodle, and Murdoc go about their usual routines. Russel is boxing, Noodle is chilling with Schoolboy Q in the studio, and Murdoc is hiding in his lair. While the rest of the band is doing their thing, 2-D spots a Pac-Man arcade machine and inserts a coin. At first everything seems to be going well. 2-D is getting high scores and eating all the ghosts. But as time went on, 2-D became more engaged and obsessed with the game. It seems like the Pac-Man arcade machine has a curse to trap anyone who plays it. 2-D starts hallucinating, and we see psychedelic swirls around him. The Pac-Man characters appear in his eyes, as if it’s part of his reflection. The band notices this. Russel stopped mid-boxing, Murdoc comes out of his lair to look, and Noodle went from a peanuts character to an anime style look. While the band is watching 2-D, Schoolboy Q finishes recording his verse in the studio. Finally after nine hours of playing, Noodle goes downstairs and unplugs the outlet to the arcade machine, and 2-D was saved, thanks to Noodle.

Most comments: “2D’s dance was cute” “Wow, Noodles hot” Or “Russel’s buff” But why is nobody talking about Murdoc… what is he doing in there??

I think its cute when noodle removed the plug and her face was like: "time for bed, young man."

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?
