Class #6: A Meaningful Moment Through A Meaning(less) Process (Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life)

*Warning: Explicit Content

The topic that I'm going to talk about today it's kinda... well... bizarre... VERY, VERY bizarre. I know that there's different tastes and different ways of viewing things, but this is odd and strange in a totally different way. But... I'm just run out of ideas and this is the most interesting thing that I can come up with. At least in this very precise moment. So I'm going to do my best to try to explain it the best way possible.

The Video is called: Shrek is Love, Shrek is life:


And the reason because I'm choosing this particular video is because the story behind it. Originally posted as green text in the image-board community site called 4Chan in January 14th of 2013. It became an internet meme that was spread all over the internet until it was adapted into a youtube animated video using a computer program from Machinma based on a Video Game vcalled Team Fortress. Who allows people to make their own creations.

The video narrates in first person the story of a 9 year old (however, in the video is a 20 year old man) that was a huge fan of Shrek (the main character from the animated film franchise of the same name), and their devotion was so big that he even pray for him every night. And because of that, his father called him a "Faggot", but the "kid" said he was just jealous.

So, one night the boy was sleeping in his bed, when suddenly Shrek appears in his room and whispers in his ear "This is my Swamp" and then Shrek sodomize him until his father walks into the room and find them in the bed. Shrek looks him straight in the eyes and says: "It's all ogre now" and leaves throw the window. the video ends with the "kid" saying: Shrek is love, Shrek is life and showing captions saying "It's not ogre", "It's never ogre" and "Shrek is Love, Shrek is life" along with footage of the house.

The Thing that I find interesting about this video is the music. The song used in this video is an instrumental called "A meaningful moment through a Meang(less) process" that gives the video a very dramatic atmosphere along with the awkward animation and the voice of the narrator, who is so serious and melancholic that totally contrast with the over the top bizarre story.

I don't know what was the intention of the person who made this video. It is suppose to be funny? It is suppose to be shocking? It's just bizarre. It's not a thing that you explain to another person, it's an experience that you must watch to get your own conclusions. Just watch it judge it youserlves.

And here's the link of the song if you are interested:
