after seeing interviews with will wood, i can say that this is exactly how he acts during an actual talk show

[Drsunshine]

I love the idea of Will pulling various rats out of his pockets and gently placing them onto the table of an interviewer

[sapphiretruffle]

*gently places a rat on your desk*
*gently places a rat on your desk*
*gently places a rat on your desk*

[hippyjoe]

I love the doowop ghosts. Why are there doowop ghosts? Can we have more doowop ghosts? I love the doowop ghosts.

[NyxNovaStar]

There's a masterful secret, if you look carefully during the sequence of screaming and psychedellia, the sign that nomally says "The Night Mic With Norm Brenner" says in the same font, "Jesus Fucking Christ Can Someone Help Me? I'm Scared." A clue that this is all a fever dream or hallucination of the main character, one Will Wood. Really cool moment of cinematography that I just noticed and l love it.

[chizitos]

"i was nothing before so i couldn't have asked to be born. i'll be nothing again, so what am i between now and them?" IT HITS HARD BRO

[infinitejelly]

"...the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy, girl, neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight."
I'm not crying, you're crying.

[Ajearthling]

This just feels like the average Will Wood interview. Like, the feet on the table, the yelling, the amazing outfits. Surprised the interviewer didn't expect it.

[emanbored]

This song speaks so much to me, the idea of loving "normally" not understanding the normal way, pretending to understand to fit in, overall an apathy for being put on earth without having a say in it, it's just so much truth and I love it. This song is really beautiful

[serafoo]

THE ARTIST RETURNS TO HIS ART, AS A PERFORMER SHOWS IT OFF.

[Oshacompliantshibari]

Random detail: at 0:20 Norm goes to shake his hand, but Will confidently puts forth his left hand instead of his right.

[gloomyTurtle]

I adore Will’s bridges because they’re fast enough for my ADHD brain to stay interested even though it’s such a long song. I think that’s the reason I also love BlackBoxWarrior so much

[Bri-the-bell]

Our 18y son introduced us to Will Wood and now we are obsessed. He moved out of state for college and we miss him so much, so we send pictures of Will Wood playing on our car Playlist to him, haha

[greyjustgrey]

Will Wood: 100x words a minute

Subtitles: "APPLAUSE"

[xenascully]

Rofl. Legit my favorite part is the very end before credits where he tells him "see you here in two weeks?" long dramatic pause with look of disdain on Will's face, then lmao omg.

[toothfairy]

"my child is fine" your child's favourite song is love, me normally by will wood and they can't tell whether it's for the nonbinary acknowledgment or the song itself

[dante]

i absolutely adore the way the drummer kept tossing his drum sticks up during the performance

[synepunk]

i’ve been here for 30 minutes trying to think of a good comment but nothing can describe this perfection

[CalmCreativity]

I love the detail of when will wood first enters, he extends his *left* hand towards the news man for a handshake instead of his right hand and for a second the news man is confused

This is kinda showing how will wood is not "normal" which is why he *wants* to be normal, as the song says

[losersandwich]

There are so many particular lines in Will Wood songs that make me want to cry by themselves, and this whole song had me in tears the first time I heard it, even more with the visuals.
