All videos and reviews for TheResidents
Little Timmy's version of Driver's Education goes something like this: Charlie the chipmunk eats peanuts, and at school they watch teenagers pull toy cars with strings, they hold the little cars, and then they are allowed to drive pedal cars. So they don't get in an accident like the one-legged man.
If you like stream-of-consciousness randomness, the TIMMY videos by TheResidents are for you. These guys are masters at finding and pulling odd but funny random scenes from old films and making up twisted, hilarious stories to go with them. Very weird and very funny.

The Residents present a series of very short videos following the adventures of a 9-year-old kid named Timmy. In actuality, these wizards of satire take old stock footage of movies or educational films and put their own engaging take on the action with Timmy's chirpy voice-overs.
In this one Timmy happily talks about his brother Kruger and how he doesn't like to wash his hands and how this makes him somewhat of an outcast. Poor Timmy, he doesn't get it. We get it and we absolutely love these delightful little parodies.

"Speaking of uteruses..." I didn't know we were. Oh, Timmy. He stumbled onto his aunt having The Talk with his cousin.
The residents have resurrected a very, very old sex ed movie. I believe I watched it in 4th grade before most of you were born. Both Timmy and the movie are astonishingly naive. This one is hilarious.

Timmy's one-legged neighbor can't dance anymore, and he is resigned to watching his chipmunk dance instead, and to eating desserts instead of chicken, his favorite food. Timmy thinks he is one lucky guy, but the man says that sometimes it is hard having only one leg.
The TIMMY videos are all extremely well done, with old video clips illustrating Timmy's somewhat robotic voice overs. The music is as jarring as the contrast between Timmy's naive interpretation of events and the reality of those events. In a way, they are funny as all get out. In another way, they ara subtle, interesting social comment on the 60's, and on life today.

Today, Timmy tells us about a one-legged man, a chipmunk named Charlie, and about his sister's funeral. Timmy hopes Charlie doesn't die. Cute little Timmy is a little strange.
The Residents' quirky takes on the '60's all have a sinister, twisted, funny feel to them.

TIMMY's little sister (how many sisters does he have??) got a giant doll for her birthday, and it must have been a cabbage patch prototype, because it was an orphan, and its parents were killed in an accident. TIMMY thinks it was kind of creepy, so maybe it was more like Chucky than a cabbage patch. Or maybe Chucky is a cabbage patch. AAGH! The Residents make these TIMMY videos so confusing. They have so many layers, so much depth, so much symbolism. Or, maybe they're just a drug-induced dream left over from the '60's.

I wonder how many brothers and sisters TIMMY has?! There seem to be many, and they seem to have certain...difficulties in life. His brother Luther is a shoe salesman who only sells shoes to men. He used to find women's feet fascinating....Hmmm.
The residents do a beautiful job of taking simple, meaningless, daily events and making them sinister and twisted. They do it with music, videography, and TIMMY's chirpy voiceover. These guys are skilled and innovative. YouTube is a good venue for them, allowing them to display their talents in these short videos.

Now I understand why the TIMMY videos by the residents seem so sinister and weird. It has something to do with the '60's. And weird hair. Timmy's sister has to listen to a lecture about the dangers of drugs given by a guy in gold pajamas who looks like Sonny Bono. Actually, he is Sonny Bono. It sends chills up my spine. Poor Timmy!

Timmy has a dream about his dog Mr. Pinky and a talking car, and then he is a teenager driving a car, and then there is a terrible accident. Hmm, Timmy thinks it might have been a nightmare or something. I wonder what Mr. Pinky thinks. I wonder if Mr. Pinky had the same nightmare.
The Residents' videos in which they use vintage educational films (this one was on safe driving) with Timmy's hilarious voice-over are all twisted and so delightful.

The Residents bring us several very short videos about episodes in the life of little Timmy.
This one is filmed in the sepia tones of an oldtime "talkie" and has Timmy telling the story as a voice-over. The videography is outstanding.
In this one, the video and the annoyingly tuneless accordion music create a dramatic sense that something tragic is going to happen. But the conflict is quickly resolved and "everybody lives happily after."
It's a bit random but completely entertaining.
