A finalist on the Genero.tv website - "The Alcoholic" is a video set to the tune of a Royksopp song with the same name. Here we follow a man who finds himself a puppet to alcoholism. Intended to have the look of a comedy and the feel of a tragedy - this video juxtaposes the two with a combination of puppetry and live action. Think "Avenue Q" meets "Requiem for A Dream" From Royksopp's "Senior" Album

As an alcoholic,who has been there, been through 2 wives,lost the love of people I loved, lost jobs, and damn near killed myself through accidents and on purpose, this really hits home. Although I have not had a drink in 18 years now I still know how easy it is to lose everything. It's always good to have a reminder of " The good old days.☠️😭" Just the thought scares me. Thanks for posting.

i love the look on the actors face at the end, when he's finally human. that humiliated, broken feeling, but a free, vulnerable, open feeling of surrender. #fuckyeah #recovery

This song will always remind me of a low point of my life: depression. About a year ago I was very close to suicide but something about this video and music moved me to give life another shot.

When he realized the size of his problem, he stopped being a puppet

I had no idea a puppet can have such powerful expression. Respect for the artist who made the puppet alive.

This reminds me of my goodbye letter I wrote to alcohol when I put myself in rehab. I’m Apache and titled my poem Trail of Beers detailing my life and struggle with booze and now I’m coming up on 8 yrs sober and haven’t looked back. So to those who are struggling, in recovery or even thinking about giving alcohol up I SUPPORT YOU!!!

This 4 minute 29 seconds video is better than all the combined public service announcements on alcoholism ever created. Wow.... this should be shown to all adolescents in schools.... a powerful message coupled with sublime music.

I’m a recovering alcoholic and this happened to come up on my suggested videos today. I love this- brutal, sad, and honest. I saw the puppet as myself when I was actively drinking. I felt emotionally connected throughout the entire clip. I do believe that this didn’t come across my feed by chance. Excellent video.

The goal was to deliver a brutal message with an innocent messenger (puppet). Thanks for the view!

I didn't realise how powerful this video was until my mum died 2 years ago. I started heavy drinking everyday but the memory of this video and the tune of this song niggled. I wised up last year. Not off drink but no longer a muppet. Thank you Ryoksopp ❤

This song makes me think of my ex, who had a drinking problem. He tried to quit on several occasions. Never could. He landed in jail a few times, lost jobs, lost friends and eventually his marriage and maybe even why he took his own life. R.I.P., Joe, I hope you are at peace now.

FINALIST ? REALLY ? ! This video is way better than the one that won. Conceptually this guy (Muppet) clearly has a drinking problem, even his girl wants him to get help (the card). This video is so convincing, hell, I wanted to help the poor little blue Muppet. Towards the end, when he starts to get the shakes, my eyes began to water. Then when he turns the card over and reads, "please get help", I started to cry. It showed me that even with his problem, his girl really cares about him. :'(
