Fanboy Supercuts, Obsessive Video Montages

There are several people who have made trimmed-down videos of Deadwood episodes that consist of nothing but the obscenities. For example: Deadwood-Every Curse-S1E1.

Here's another one from Lost of Sawyer saying "Son of a bitch!" over and over again. I get a big kick out of videos like this.

Chuck Jones has his isolation studies, one of which is 'Every utterance of the word "Buffy" made during the first season of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," totaling nearly one minute.' http://www.babygorilla.com/warehouse/art/Video/buffy.mov There's also things from Loveline, and all the inhaling from an hour of NPR for your perusal at http://www.babygorilla.com/warehouse/art/isolation/isolations.html

Great, obsessive collection of obsessive collections!

Every "frak" in season one of BSG.

Chenbot: "But first."

Does our montage of classic slow claps from movies count?

Suiseiseki from anime series Rozen Maiden says 'Desu' a lot.

Every time Link says "Excuse me, Princess!" in the short-lived Legend of Zelda cartoon.

Shit, missed that you already had it -- was looking under games. Carry on!

House MD has a DVD extra of the "It's not Lupus" quote they do almost every episode. Not fan made, but very entertaining.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1YUvo7YxqwM

There's also f-bomb edits of Scarface and The Departed

There's also a Sawyer nickname montage.

And while not video, the Obscenity-only version of Straight Outta Compton is a hoot.

Goddamn brilliant. I could watch these all day long. It's like abstract art, except I'd be scared to meet the artists that have the time and energy to make these...

If I could just get a list of movies with slow claps in them, I could reduce the number of potentially watchable films by that number.

Obscenity-Only NWA is also surprisingly listenable.

Steve Jobs and Boom!

You must not have read that "What?" montage description. The guy's not a super fan at all, and it's not every single "What?" I think this is more a case of someone actually not liking Lost very much and creating something to make fun of it...

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back f*cking short version.

love this. gonna be watching the flying car supercut (KITT!) all weekend. does that make me obsessive?!?

not exactly in line, since it eschews strict repetition, but c. marclay's "telephones" is an early (1995) precursor in this vein (subsequently familiarised by the iphone ripoff).

perhaps my favourite supercut proper (albeit with an opposite tack) is valentin spirik's, in which the howard hawks classic is distilled to its pauses/silences: "his girl friday - between the lines edit" (via dvblog).

Andy, this one is also, like, The Real Orange County, you know, like.

two more supercuts honouring tv shows' interstitials are j. morales and j.m. boling's christian coalitian piece "the church of the future" (which admittedly profits heavily from the added track from "omen"), and eric fensler's "external coffee tone".

There were some great ones from Arrested Development (chicken dance, "hey brother", "I've made a huge mistake", the Tobias laugh) on youtube, but they seem to have been taken down, unfortunately.

For all you Red Dwarf fans:
Fan-Smegging-Tastic

I remembered one more - a montage of suggestive-sounding "mmmms" from Rachael Ray's show.

This is another version. Not sure which one came first.

Don't forget the two supercuts made by Pixar and included on the Incredibles DVD as easter eggs. One shows every door and button in the film, the other every explosion.

Kinda related, from Metafilter: Hitchcock's "Birds", sans bird (part 2, part 3).

A friend of mine made a "remix" of In The Air Tonight years ago. It was every "oh lord" and he did it the old-fashioned way: cassette recording off the radio. I never got to hear it, but it struck me as such a funny idea.

You inspired me to recreate it as a tribute, so here it is.

There's also a supercut of Desmond saying "Brother": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq_SURMi1Mo (Make sure you watch until the end)

here's one more of all the "Yeahs" in Fargo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF3z-j8o39I

If you've seen the film, you'll know that the word "Yeah" is used quite a lot in the movie.

Senator Clay Davis saying "Sheeeeeeeeeit" on The Wire.

I'm surprised this one hasn't popped up here yet: 24's Damn Its

Norwegian Artist Candice Breitz has been at this for ages.

Here's the description from Hoxton UberGallery the White Cube:

Candice Breitz
Candice Breitz: From A to B and Beyond

If there’s a rule of thumb for looking at Candice Breitz’s work, it’s the rule itself. Every one of her video installations can be reduced to a very simple formula. Take the Four Duets series, for example: select four music videos of sentimental love songs from the last half-century. Collect and string together the moments in which each of the four performers sings either “I, me, my” or “you.” Display the “I Loop” opposite and in dialogue with the “You Loop” from each song. Discard all remaining footage. Or Diorama, 2002: start with the cliffhanger episodes of each of the fourteen seasons of the soap opera Dallas. Edit out a string of repetitive sound bites for each of the main characters. Discard all remaining footage. Display in a living room furnished out of local charity shops. Or Soliloquy Trilogy, 2000: take blockbuster movies starring three Hollywood icons and, in each case, reduce the entire film to the star’s speaking parts only. Discard all remaining footage. Project in small cinema. Or Becoming, 2003: begin with seven romantic comedies. Edit each down to the female star’s key scene. Discard all remaining footage. Act out the selected scene yourself, as best you can.

I wish someone would do a montage of "This is the last time you'll ever see these!!!" shirt-liftings from Arrested Development.

I think one the first guy to ever make movies like this was an French artist, François Yordamian, who edited The Young and the Restless in 1999 : on one movie, all the actors were taking their heads into thei hands, on antoher they turned around, on another they sighed... Impossible to find on youtube or whatever, but there's a paper about it

A bit late to the game, but my favorite of these is the Deathwish Bodycount montage, complete with added sound effects and a ticker:

Andy,

indeed Candice Breitz work is awesome and, like a lot of good video art, surprisingly well hidden. I saw Diorama as part of the Zabludowicz collection in the inaugural show at its new home. It was shown in two rooms with 1950s furniture, set as a living room and a bedroom, a television on every available surface, low lighting, and each screen showing a different Dallas character in a really short loop. Picture Bobby breathlessly saying "mother" while from another screen his mother curses "never". Being caught in the cross-fire of eight or so screens, alone, with the doors closed, was highly disturbing. Getting out of those rooms though, back into the light, was as elating as leaving behind a decade's mental illness.

I think that Becoming was shown at the Venice Biennale 2005. I didn't really get it then, but in retrospect, and with the context provided by blog comments like these above, and developments; like karaoke rick rolling (via fimoculous) Candice seems to have taken a pre-eminent position in many aspects of (DIY) video art.

Thanks for the supercuts.

Here's one from the wickerman where Nick Cage punches women over and over again:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6i2WRreARo

The most quotable movie of all time isn't mentioned. Of course, I'm referring to "Airplane!".

Only once in my life did I ever utter a statement ending in the word "altogether" and have someone else repeat it with me. Surely you remember that, Andy?

Hi,

I made the audio pieces and also the Buffy thing. It's on youtube if you search for it. I no longer have the time to make these kinds of pieces, because I have 22 month old daughter, and two jobs.

I'm glad that I got mine in early, as I love work like this, but don't want to make any more. I got to see Jennifer & Kevin McCoy's "Every Shot Every Episode" when it was at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago. It was amazing and I can't imagine a couple making that kind of work together and remaining married. Are they still married?

The rest of my work is either at my site www.babygorilla.com or a chuckbabygorilla on youtube.

Thank you for the spike in bandwidth.

My friend Chris Hefner, a video artist working in Chicago, released Talking Picture (The Road to Ruin) late last year. Removing all the spoken words from this 1934 moralistic, cautionary film makes it oddly affecting and personal.

One I've long been looking for: Letterman did a recut of George W Bush's State of the Union speech (one of em, anyway) that contained nothing but the pauses. Granted, it was intended to look like W got up there and couldn't think of anything to say, but either way that's dang entertaining....

My favorite is every instance of the work "Fuck" from Boondock Saints.

Scrubs is another popular source for trope compilations, like all of Todd's high-fives or Dr. Cox's girl names for JD.

From Naruto, every Rasengan during the filler arcs (just about every filler episode/plot ended with Rasengan):

I just made one for a very under-appreciated movie (both for the whole movie, and the number of times they say "fuck") Midnight Run and posted it to Youtube here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLDwujC2NhQ

A great collection of crying-scenes. Again, simple yet effective.

How can Pulp Fiction be missing? It's one of the very first:

I made another one...This time every time the name "Flash" was said in the 1980 mvie Flash Gordson...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK_hhWk13bc

Cleaned up the link for my Flash Gordon video.

Gotta fix the URL for my Flash Gordon one above.

On the 1 year anniversary of NPR's SoundClips, they rebroadcast a montage of all the series' sounds in alphabetical order

made this thing about kevin bacon.
maybe it applies:

http://ignivomous.org/guests/theendthebeginning/theendthebeginning.html

I've been wanting to make one of these for ages, taking one popular phrase from loads of movies and merging it.

Is there any easier way to search for the clips, rather than my current method of searching wikiquote, then scanning through a film I find and trimming that certain clip? Where the hell is this "search videos for phrases" thing we were promised so many years ago?

Can we get a montage of every time Chris Hanson reveals himself on Dateline NBC's "To Catch an Online Predator"? Or maybe the perps' reactions?

Where does one go to request a supercut that may not be in existence yet? This seems like a good place to float ideas, but wouldn't it be cool to have a centralized location -- a web site completely dedicated to this, rather than a log entry -- to post and request supercuts? (Maybe one already exists?)

Anyway...
I'm thinking a montage of every time Angel kicked or smashed a door in on Angel would be funny.
@B Plus: A supercut of "I'm Chris Hanson..." would rock!

I don't know if this exactly counts, but the collected wisdom of angel from my so called life: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZUI7mo6tQpM

I had no idea Silvio had whacked so many of his fellow Mafiosi. This site is the things dreams are made of. It's like being in the same room with everyone else remembering all the words to all the songs and sketches and shows. A perfect example of why baby boomers can't and won't let go. It's all too good. Thank you.

Dunno if this fits, but it's definitely excessive cutting. George Bush singing Bloody Sunday: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PXnO_FxmHes

This Arrested Development montage was recently reposted on YouTube.

How about every "absolutely" from the Rocky movies?

Fun stuff! My husband and I love these! I especially enjoy the Bea Arthur one. However, you need to do one based on how many times Bea, as Dorothy, touches another character. This usually happens during shocking moments on the show. My college roomie and I used to count....it was a pretty high. :)
