Fix Teddy




Although this isn't a music video I came across it by typing into you tube surreal videos as I think I could gain some sort of knowledge fro them and this is my favourite video that I have found. Some of the sound in the video is ambient sound as we can hear slight crackling noises which add to the creepiness of the video as we can suggest that something is wrong and maybe not working properly. Also we hear a man speaking narrating the video. His voice seems very off and over pronounced making his vice seem very unusual and scary as his obvious acting is to add to the surreal atmosphere of the video. Whilst the 'Doctor' is dissecting the bear we see elements of adult habits and adult limits for example the cigarettes in the bear. This takes away the bears innocence which again is replaced by creepiness as the bear becomes personified as a smoker. A 'unicorn crotch' is also mention and is healthy as opposed to the rest of the bear suggesting the bear takes part in sexual activity is again is an adult action and makes the teddy seems quite sinister. The very thought of producing a medical procedure on a teddy bear seems like a childlike activity as they play doctors and nurses but the severity of this case makes the video seem very serious and intellectual adding to the weirdness. The video also carries a sense of gore as real organs are used during the video which could make a child or any body really feel squeamish and is again personifying the bear itself.
