This has nothing to do with the song but I was trying to eat magnets during this

[oliveboy]

Imagine robbing some arcade and getting killed by Neil Cicirega

[wooper]

"Day 23 in the chamber. they ain't found me yet, but when they do they're gonna be supprised"

[mjddjm]

I think my favorite thing about Cabinet Man fan videos is what happens during the last chorus. It's a split between he dies and the chorus is in remembrance of him or it's his last chorus as he takes the vandal or vandals down with him

[hibiscus_utube]

He turns himself into an arcade cabinet, funniest shit I've ever seen

[grabs_you]

Oh boy, I can only imagine what the fnaf Fandom would have done with this song back in the day.

"You can't see me behind the screen" *cabinet gains face*

[muffindubs]

I absolutely love that your cabinet man looks exactly like Neil

[jollyroman]

Don’t know how, but i never made the connection that there was a body in the cabinet, I just thought it was a metaphor or personification

[mroofity]

I just realized, the kids playing at 2:16, are the same kids who break in to rob and destroy Cupboard Dude

[zombiecashier]

this man got robbed and got collected by the scp foundation

[Meatglare]

Step one: own an arcade room
Step two: put your organs in an arcade and program a game over your brain
Step three: *cabinet man incident; 1989*

they really just wrote an entire original creepypasta into a song and i live for it

[noodleydoo]

Wasn’t expecting to say this but that arcade box is really cute

[avasalvator]

lmao im so dumb i didnt even realize that this song was about arcades until now, i thought it was just about a guy hiding a kitchen lol :)

[whatthewhatthe]

Fun fact:
Neil’s sister, Emmy cicierega, is credited to have worked on gravity falls episode Soos and the Real Girl about a sentient virtual being that kills. Neil made the early gravity falls intro and a song about a sentient arcade cabinet (also a gravity falls episode) so this is either proof holism exists or Disney is full of nepotism

[rattyeely]

I love how this is one of the cutest Cabinet Man animation yet also one of the most horrifying by the end

[catboyneilcicierega]

Cabinet Man as a song is actually very interesting- the song is literally about a man who puts his organs into an arcade machine, but when you think about it metaphorically, it’s about celebrities that make themselves into simply content.
They go so far to be popular that they’ve turned themselves into a product, and then they get outdated (hence the arcade machine, since arcade machines are rarely used now). They rely on money and appreciation to live (like Neil saying ‘two lungs collecting change’, then he says ‘it’s getting hard to breathe’ right after he says ‘it’s getting lonely’, suggesting that he lives on people’s attention and money).
Also, he complains about the people bashing the arcade machine, but the thing is they don’t actually know the arcade machine is a person- they think it’s just a product, which represents antis of celebrities who don’t actually see said celebrities as people.
Also, when he says ‘this must be what love would have felt like’, it represents the parasocial love he gets from people- they love him but without thinking of him as a person.

I love it when people make full animations instead of just stopping at an animatic

[baron-swine-]

Fun fact: if listen closely to the "d-d-d-d-died" part you can hear him slightly chuckle after it
