Trying To Explain The Gorillaz Lore

[StormX]

Gorillas needs an adult swim cartoon show. Like the lore is so unique, whacky, and hilarious, but it requires fans to piece together the story based off of animated shorts and music videos that are sometimes canon.

POV: Your friend is attempting to explain the entire plot of your 10th grade english book you neglected to read 8mins before you have to take the final test.

[BackToBackJames]

You know the story's going to be interesting when it starts off with a character becoming half blind during a keyboard store robbery.

[charliedangerr]

The whole lore feels like when you're having a weird dream and just decided to go along with it.

[ishipitlikefedex]

I can't believe this was only about 8 minutes long, you managed to fit in so much info it felt like a whole feature length movie lmao

[PatchesOnPaws]

Murdoc: Legitimate menace to society. He's also green.
2-D: Funni eyes.
Russell: Possessed by his dead friends.
Noodle: Amnesiac 7 year old who lived in a box and has a guitar (for some reason).

[wouterburssens]

You forgot to mention that murdoc made the entire prison thing up. He got arrested for parking tickets and made the druglord thing up cuz he saw that the band was doing fine without him and he didnt wanna miss out on the attention.

I once met a girl at an art camp back in '10, and she explained the entire lore to me up to that point. It was super hard to follow without being able to watch the videos themselves. Thank you for making this, I'm gonna send it to her.

[Dr.Kiwicat]

u made it sound so simple, i applaud u for that cause this was actually real easy to understand with my pebble brain, well done

[Theeditor]

If I had a nickel for every male group with a sole female member who’s Japanese and was made to be a killing machine and speaks little to no English, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird how it happened twice

[NovaKnight_]

fun fact since it wasn’t mentioned: ace is canonly the same ace that was a villain in the powerpuff girls.

[nnominatum]

Imagine losing both eyes in two different car crashes, just to have the guy responsible try and recruit you into his band.

[aya-ziqg]

This made me realize how little sense the Gorillaz lore makes, especially the song machine lore. Great vid.

[pope]

5:22 fun fact, that's ace from the gangrene gang. also fun fact the gorillaz and Powerpuff girls share the same world cause the animator for gorillaz and Powerpuff girls are friends.

[DanielDenoted]

Never explain this story to anyone. I've been stuck in this psych ward for the last 15yrs

[pintofmil]

"Aw no i feel bad for murdoc" 2 secs later "nvm"

[travisscott]

I remember reading something the artist for the band said about "I'm really sick and tired of drawing these characters." I didn't understand how He could feel that way until right now.

[laylakindafruity]

Damn I thought they were just a band but that was A LOT of backstory... You did a good job at explaining it ty 😌

[NostalgikProductions]

"I'm never doing something like this again."

See you say that... But I think we both know when they put out a new album, you'll add to this video. You are officially the lore chronicler of the Gorillaz.

[alanstringer.]

I really have nothing to say other than this:
1.) You are a LEGEND for simply jumping right in to the subject matter. No "what's up guys, it's ya boi, today we're gonna blah blah blah" just straight to it.
2.) You got all the way through this without asking for subs, telling me to smash like, or one of the litany of other things tryhards put in ALL their videos.

You are the bomb dude.
