The 'zellig effect is truly remarkable Zaryan No.25536
I just cannot understand how zellig gained such a big community and even obsession over it. But I am personally a part of this effect. I mean, its just a stupid silly animation that doesn't even last 20 minutes in total. Normally when I find something like this on YT I think about it maybe for the rest of the day and forget about it. I have watched several much longer, deeper and more complex shows like BCS or AoT, and it's completely understandable for them to be stuck in my head for some time, but this?! I see I'm not alone with it albeit, so I wonder why is this happening? Why this short and rather shallow animation is getting stuck in so many people's heads? Is it because we are all fucking autists?

>doesn't even last 20 minutes in total

Because despite its short runtime, 'zellig is excellent at getting people to relate and connect with it. And also because we all have hyper autism.

Zellig has potential to unfuck your life if done correctly.

Honestly if it wasn't for the sharty it would go as you describe, stays in my head for the rest of the day. Probably would've forgotten about it completely after a week or two. It was the fascinating and extremely fun history and community that kept me thinking about it

'zellig is just gemmy and because its got such a niche but active community, we tend to enjoy it a lot more. Think of it as our little autistic club

There are two aspects of Ongezellig which make it appealing.

  • One is the humour, which works overtime in the first few episodes. This is mostly effected through Mymy: the holocaust jokes, her attempts to push the deadline back, her presentation about enslaving new students all contribute to a show which manages surprise after surprise. There's even a short unused clip of Kiki(the pirate girl) organizing a fundraiser for Somalian children so they can attend pirate school. These edgy jokes catch you off-guard, especially because good dark humour is rare.
  • The other is the story, which manages two things at once: it portrays the emotion from which the viewer suffers accurately, whilst showing the viewer a path outside of this. This is extraordinarily hard, because those who can portray such emotions effectively are often unable to escape it, and those who can offer insight on escaping it probably did not suffer them in great amount and thus cannot well portray them. By being both incredibly relatable, as well as pointing towards a solution, the show accomplishes flawlessly the purpose of such art.

This is why I admire Ongezellig as a piece of contemporary art. This contributes to why I like it and why I try to engage with its audience to the greatest possible extent, looking for like-minded people.
Then, there are people who saw a nationalist making holocaust jokes and stuck around. This demographic is very large on this site, which is why the default name is "Zaryan". My primary issue with this demographic is that it does not further the reputation Ongezellig as an artistic piece, but rather as some weird right wing online animation.
Lastly, there are pedophiles. These are very few here(read the rules), but on other sites(twitter, discord) they are prevalent. My problem with these are that they watched an artistic piece and started masturbating, and are actively harming the image of the show.

Trio, which will save the Zarty and 'zellig
