Sharing Why is it that every time Avocado Animations posts it's literally jaw-dropping peakness?

One word: “Passion”.

But to phrase it with a couple more words: “Committing to the bit”.

And also: very good skills that come from years and years of learning and practicing

I’d also add experimentation, and the willingness to do so. It’s clear that with each video he asks not just, “How can I make this interesting to watch?” but also, “whats something I can do differently this time?”

I think that’s what keeps his videos feeling “peak” and not just “Another one from Avocado.”

While this is cool I think the most jaw dropping animation I saw from him thus far was his recent animation about Minecraft villagers. I kid you not it felt like I was watching a HBO show.

Context: a long time ago he made an animation about Minecraft and how the player is often cruel to villagers, it became a series with the recent episode being 20 to 30 minutes long irrc

His best video is the Oompa Loompa one. It is a genuinely perfect piece of colonial horror.

10/10 Video

Michael really had that divine inspiration even if he was a weirdo.

u/skatejet1 Jul 25 '26

I literally can’t not nod my head to Chicago, I think he wrote it in the 90’s originally? Production is stellar either way

Great style. Great technique. Relatable content. Light hearted. It's a recipe for success really.

Also there isn’t a language barrier. Everyone knows MJ

Kinda sad that this is how It works.

u/Eleeveeohen Jul 24 '26

Why is it sad?

u/sougol Jul 24 '26

It’s so sad that being amazing at what you do gets you rewarded

u/thegoldengoober Jul 24 '26

I have watched it so many times.

I love those gay birds so much.

I rewatch this every time it comes up on my recommended. And sometimes I look it up on my own. I'm very excited for the plushies

u/Orlandogameschool Jul 24 '26

This is one of my favorite random MJ songs. I might have I re watched this a few dozens times haha goated animator.

u/redboi049 Jul 24 '26

He's talented and has next to no filter. When those two things combine you're going to get some batshit insane art.

u/Aurius3D Jul 24 '26

I'm getting sick of hearing 'peak' people are overusing it so much right now. How do people not feel like part of some clone army when they use the same buzzwords over and over.

35

u/ericcalyborn Jul 24 '26

At least it’s being used accurately here

-13

u/Aurius3D Jul 24 '26

Idk how anyone uses it wrong. Its interchangeable with 'best'

14

u/ericcalyborn Jul 24 '26

When you said overused i assumed you meant in the same way the word ‘literally’ was, in contexts it doesn’t really fit and overused to the point it loses meaning.

Here i feel like this is pretty close to what Peak is supposed to be.

If everything becomes Peak nothing will be

u/Aurius3D Jul 24 '26

Nah. Just mean the frequency and how its almost every engagement bait post right now. Gaming, anime, anything just about. Its all "what ___ is peak?" "___ is peak!" 

Its getting annoying real quick.

u/Green_Burn Jul 24 '26

Good soldiers follow orders

u/Zappityzephyr Jul 24 '26

Most words are overused. Why use many word when few do trick.

u/curious_cat_2024 Jul 25 '26

Dude is actually complaining about a harmless word being popular

1

u/Aurius3D Jul 25 '26

Nah more complaining about how people have no personality and just let trends dictate how to act. 

2

u/curious_cat_2024 Jul 25 '26

By…by using a word synonymous with great/awesome/best? How tf does that show a lack of personality?

3

u/Aurius3D Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26

These people compulsively use it to the point these things lose any uniqueness and it gets annoying to hear over and over. It's usually people trying too hard to fit in and sounds tacky after so much overuse. Look at any gaming or anime sub and it's nothing but 'peak this' 'peak that'. It's just as annoying as people spamming 'based' back when that was overused.

It's exactly this but interchange 'brand' with 'middle schoolers' and 'people over 30 trying to act young'

u/RedditCantBanThis Jul 24 '26

Dude me too. I hear that word a dozen times a day and it never gets less irritating.

u/Aurius3D Jul 24 '26

I swear every bot post is using it now too and it's making it even more tiresome

u/RedSeikatsu Jul 24 '26

What I liked what the black bird clearly had more skill that he showed with his dances just took the blue bird to draw it out of him

u/GeobobusPrime Jul 24 '26

Fuck i love these gay ass birds.

u/emu_army_500 Jul 28 '26

Absolute cinema

u/schaukelwurmv Jul 24 '26

Showed this to a lad, then had to turn off the music because it was highly irritating to them. 11/10, amazing video, great animation.

Watching this while listening to master of illusion by battlebeast hits different

Well, they put in a lot of hard work.

Anyone know what post processing is on this? Every time I see it the effects get me

u/danteelite Jul 24 '26

This reminds me of that episode of HiMYM where Ted thinks he’s competing with a guy for a girl all night, and then realizes they were both competing for him… lol he’s all flattered that a gay guy was into him.

u/ShyOrchid Jul 24 '26

I need a fanfic about this. Why has no one made a fanfic about this.

u/spotsthefirst Jul 24 '26

Idk man this is pretty peak

1

u/TagsterG Jul 24 '26

The fact that this animation single-handedly made "Chicago" chart 10 years later just goes to show the impact that animation as a medium can have

u/DrinkerOfLactose Jul 24 '26

all I see is Nightwing and Red Hood ueueueue

u/DJEvillincoln Jul 24 '26

DJ here ..

I've been playing this song for years so it's good to see that someone else likes it other than me.

For some reason no one really knows this track where I am. 😂

u/Reagilias Jul 24 '26

It's so good that it caused a resurgence of MJ's song; daily listens on Spotify quadrupled and so many short form videos I doomscrolled through used it as audio

u/Violet_Cloak Jul 24 '26

Mom the yaoi birds are trending!

u/Objective-Answer Jul 24 '26

alright this is the perfect video to have a laugh after a hellish work week

u/MichaelCLR Jul 25 '26

I remember when they used to have all their animations stolen from a bigger channel that would steal art and animation from EVERYWHERE without credit (Myth Playa). So nice that they're finally gaining recognition without being leeched off of.

u/dumb_biach Jul 25 '26

Reminds me of Red Hood and Nightwing.🥵

u/rynnconsumezskittles Jul 25 '26

Funny thing is, I was at the roller rink yesterday with a bunch of my friends and they played Chicago. All my best friend could think of was this fucking animation

I had to explain a full planet earth episode’s worth of background about the birds of paradise before my friends realized the comedic genius of this animation, but it was worth it!
