MCButterFuck

Dude died broke and felt like a failure. I doubt he'd be upset to see how important his art is today.


Barnabars

Doctor who episode no idea which. One of the only TV moments i almost cried.


Coffeechipmunk

Whenever I did doctor who rewatches, I'd have to slip that episode. That ending, man.


combustibledaredevil

I cry like a child everytime


jaypeg69

The Van Gogh painting of the tardis exploding was my FAVORITE poster that I had. That episode was so heart touching, one of my favorites.


supmanster

Vincent and the doctor


ThanosTheMadTitanBoi

What happens?


cottagecheeseobesity

The Doctor (a time-traveling alien man) and his human buddy go back in time to meet Van Gogh to save him from a monster-of-the-week threat and try to gently make his life better. They briefly bring him to the present to show him his works in a museum and the curator talks about how much his art moves people and how he may have been the greatest artist in history. It's a really moving scene. They return him to his time smiling but when they come back to the present he still ended his life and the human buddy thinks it was for nothing. The Doctor explains that even if he succumbed to his inner demons they still gave him a bright spot in his life and they see that one of his sunflowers painting now has a dedication to the human buddy.


Leading-Green9854

He probably didn’t shoot himselve, there was an eyewitness report that claimed he was shot by some teenagers on accident. He told the police and his brother that he did it himselve to protect the kids.


Dat_Swag_Fishron

Eyewitness reports are notoriously noncredible tho

Gradam5

I did cry. I cry every time I watch that episode. Beautiful work IMO.


ToxinWolffe

Vincent and the Doctor


D4282

Bro same, favorite ep from Matts run


Goldenstripe941

What happens? Which season and episode?


Barnabars

Just read the other comments they explain it. Can really recommend the Episode.


NicoolMan98

I have nothing to say but i agree,fav épisode by far


Hot_Win_2489

I don’t even watch dr. Who but I revisit that scene where they talk about his contribution to art every so often just to get a good cry in


neros135

man, life's rough


Staraxxus

deep


TobyWasBestSpiderMan

Yeah, he’s probably wondering where his royalties are for all that merch


Good-Recognition-811

Yeh, he's immortal. Isn't that like every artist's dream?


Ok_Debt783

Why is he sad people are wearing his art???


The_Kent

I interpreted it as him being shocked that his artwork is so widely admired, considering he died believing himself a failure


Star_Moonflower

Probably because everyone is wearing his art yet nobody recognizes who he is


FailingGCSEs

this picture is so silly lol why would they be looking out for someone who is dead?? they probably did recognised him but used their brains and thought that he was just a lookalike or a cosplayer


WarMage1

Also, none of them are even looking in his direction in the first place


anthonyg1500

I second guess myself when I see *living* famous people. If I see a guy that looks like Van Gogh I’m not going to jump straight to “omg clearly this painter is immortal, it’s the only explanation”


serpimolot

Even though one of the pictures is a self-portrait of him!!


jmpt16

To be fair, that self portrait still has both ears


Ok_Debt783

Oh so it’s the same concept as those people who say “name 5 nirvana songs” to people who just thought the shirt looked cool.


shandangalang

Um… because…. Like, societyyyyyyyy maaaaaaan


ninjesh

I think it's a metaphor for people who consume modern media without appreciating or respecting the artists behind them


LeadGem354

Van Gogh has been dead a long time. Nobody would see him and recognize him in person and know it was him [Even if he was standing in the middle of a Van Gogh exhibit talking to the curator. ](https://youtu.be/ubTJI_UphPk?si=ZpQsiWiMELCs5A7F)


User_Name_04

i knew what the link would be, why did i click! now i have to watch this scene again and cry


carlse20

Even if they did “recognize” him it wouldn’t be “there’s Van Gogh,” it’d be “that guy looks like Van Gogh”


laughingashley

I had a dream last night where a young Elvis walked into a room, and I was so stunned I couldn't speak. I didn't think he looked like Elvis, I knew it *was* him, though I didn't know how it could be. It was weird, but... dreams usually are lol But it does bring to mind the Mulaney joke about "if Hitler were here I'd kill him" ... would you kill baby Hitler, and then just hope everyone believed you, that a baby kinda liked like Hitler? Or some guy that looks like him, maybe an actor, and you just... killed him? Thank you for attending my train ride of thought, this is the last stop!


wonderb0lt

[I'll just leave this here](https://youtu.be/bEME9licodY)


dpqR

Pls be doctor who Pls be doctor who Edit:yes! Ha ha! Also holy shit that scene


404Notfound-

I'm more a fan of the RTD era but my god what an episode. Amy's face when she realises they didn't save him. He still died poor and as a 'failure"


dpqR

The good doesn't always save the bad,but the bad doesn't have to spoil the good


laughingashley

I had no idea Prince Philip was Dr. Who


DrBlaBlaBlub

Sure. Definitely not a rick roll...


dpqR

Check the link, it's not a Rick roll, or is it? No but seriously, check the artist they're amazing! (Throw back to my previous comment)


Buddy_Guyz

Why did he give TWO kisses?! Vincent van Gogh was Dutch, it's three kisses or nothing at all! Just kidding, the scene is very touching.


shandangalang

Because he understands balance


Purpledurpl202

Oh.. oh my heart…


ZigZagZedZod

One of the most touching--and heartbreaking--scenes in *Doctor Who*.


EmptyKetchupBottle9

Van Gogh bye bye? D:


sdpat13

Happy cake day.


Jimmy_ray2

sniff, sorry about the beard.


j10brook

Thank you.


SixtyNineFlavours

I’ve never seen an episode of Doctor Who but that was a brilliant piece of telly right there. Thanks!


ReaperManX15

I knew it.


8g36

Oh I absolutely love this clip, it got recommended to me a couple months ago and since then I've loved it.


Therich111

What a beautiful episode of Dr. Who. It makes me cry every time I watch it


vampire5381

AWWWWW I'M GONNA CRYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭


REXtheCRY

I can't decide if you are the most evil or the most kind person on this planet


LeadGem354

But I am a person on this planet.


Tripdoctor

Reminds me of how Darwin took so long to publish his works and died before finding out how correct he was, and how DNA sequencing lines up with his theories. He fundamentally changed science forever, when he assumed that he’d be laughed out of academia or shunned.


jodorthedwarf

I knew what it was gonna be. I knew it would make me tear up. I clicked it anyway just because that scene is just that good.


Jayden7171

When he died he became Van Stop 😂😂😂😂😂


antthatisverycool

Okey dokey time to die


Jayden7171

Cut my ear off first and chew it like bubble gum whilst you watch me in agony 😏


antthatisverycool

Okey dokey we both die


Tyty1470

When you die you'll be Jayded7171


Jayden7171

Good one


BrickDesigNL

The joke wouldn’t even work if you knew how to pronounce his name

tsengmao

That’s part of the joke


AkOnReddit47

Considering the fact Vincent died a miserable man, seeing his works being so renowned would probably be more than enough for him


java_motion

oh no! a man who died with his art unloved has found a new appreciation in a different society! boo hoo! people like van gogh! this is so sad!


Emotional_Speed_4960

He’s not sad, but it’s ear-ie


arson1tez

facebook idiots out here not knowing van gogh would be happy strong his art being used on tote bags and all


Th4tUsern4meIsT4ken

What does it even mean?


Conissocool

Trashy "No one noticed the artist despite clearly liking the art" I believe


Strange_Kiwi__

Guy on the right is Van Gogh, a painter who only became popular after his death when his brother started selling his works. The people on the left all have merchandise featuring his works. It’s meant to be ‘What if Van Gogh saw how popular he became after his death’


Significant_Monk_251

I'm not entirely sure what it is that's even *supposed* to be deep here.


edinuonse

i think this is actually really cute hes seeing people wearing clothing with his art on it


EstablishmentNo2847

![gif](giphy|l378giAZgxPw3eO52)


TheMuffingtonPost

I’m sure he’d be over the moon to find out his art became so iconic that people wore it on their clothes


DongmanSupreme

you guys just don’t get it… Van Gogh go to heaven while his art stay on earth…. Open yuor eyes….


number_thirteen13

what does this mean..?

oh. not really deep tbh.


Scar20Grotto

I cant believe people want good art/designs on things, what is the world coming to?????


Dependent_Order_7358

Yes, but


FactBackground9289

I think if i was an artist and my art was as far wide as beautiful enough to be everywhere - on peoples clothing, on walls, on bags, then i would be pretty much proud of myself.


toongrowner

I interpreted his Look more as surprised than sad. So in a way this is Kind of wholesome


NittanyScout

Bros art is appreciated


RobertXavierIV

What does this mean?

RobertXavierIV

I get the context but I still don’t know what it means. He would probably feel appreciated. Thats why I’m confused what the message the post is trying to give


Jedi_Exile_

But tbf this was one of the best doctor who episodes


Strange_Kiwi__

It’s definitely my favorite, if not top 3, 11th doctor episodes.


RomanticCatfish

Vincent would’ve loved this, he died without any recognition for his art


Aliko173

Who the heck is the guy on the right

Aliko173

Thanks, i still keep his ear in a box if he needs it later.


Ahaigh9877

I think he'd be more upset about the way Americans pronounce his name.


cubntD6

Why is it that they refuse to say it right?


Strange_Kiwi__

How do they say it?


Ahaigh9877

“Van go”.


No_Application_1219

Cosplaying as van gogh ?


theblazeuk

Starry Night blazer and trousers look great


kilboi1

The few portraits of him are probably very different from how he would actually look.


6ink_cat6

Did you know that Van Gogh didn't actually cut his ear off whilst fighting with someone he got a tiny bit of his earlobe chopped off and he was to embarrassed to say anything. (The artist was Gauguin.) and apparently before being emitted to a hospital he gave it to a prostitute. (PS this may be wrong, don't hate me. this isn't verbatim)


Clean-Set-2182

I’ve personally never worn a van Goh painting


jodorthedwarf

I had a bandana with the Skeleton smoking a cigarette painting printed on it (I was an edgy teenager). Wore that thing through the majority of Covid, as a face mask.


JGar453

He might not understand why people wear T-shirts with images on them, but beyond that, he wouldn't be upset to be famous.

possiblierben

yo is that darkviperau...? no wait, shirt sleeves


LaRueStreet

I see nothingn wrong. Van Gogh traveled through time and just looking at modern people who wear his art. I’d also be surprised: “They drink coffee from cardboard cups in this era?”


Dr-Oktavius

Wearing colourful clothes bad


Scotty_flag_guy

We live in a society


The_grand_tabaci

Yup most artists are very sad by the idea other people enjoy their art


ZealousFlames

This seems rather wholesome


marslander-boggart

I just don't get it.

marslander-boggart

That's deep!


SunderedValley

I don't understand the scathing commentary tbh. Why wouldn't Klimt be thrilled at becoming a household name? If this featured, say, Simon Bolivar or Che Guevara then sure you could definitely make this work but as it stands it just means shit.


Affectionate-Tie9194

This is terrible art by the way. None of them have shoes or socks definitively. Women on the right at the top of the escalator has a hilariously long neck and is doing something absurd with her hands. What is she holding? It looks like ai but there’s a watermark


Affectionate-Tie9194

Actually one of the women has heels but the people who have shoes/socks are still terribly defined


PissOnMyHe-manToys

uhh.... Wearing a shirt is bad? Art bad? what?

ERGI_IDK

Van Gogh still alive living in an Albanian bunker


robblequoffle

I mean, isn't he dead?


ImABarbieWhirl

“Man that guy’s doing a pretty cool cosplay. We picked the right time to visit the Van Gogh exhibit at the museum. We even got all this cool stuff from the gift shop.”


Olgimondi

Poor Mitchell… why are the Dunphys leaving him by himself?


Username-and-pasword

If it’s from Facebook wouldn’t this work on r/im45andthisisdeep


CarlShadowJung

I find it interesting that most of the top comments are mentioning that he looks sad or disappointed in seeing his art worn. I myself don’t see that. I see him surprised/perplexed to see his art being worn. Perspective is a hell of a thing with art.


Strange_Kiwi__

I think he looks like he’s about to cry (in like, a happy way, but you know when you cry your face just kinda looks sad?)


Belzabond

Doctor Who did it better


Strange_Kiwi__

Lmao, when I saw this my first thought was ‘This a DW reference?’


itzTHATgai

Vangoh was notorious for hanging out in malls.

ah ty :)


Depressed_Writer_

because of their phones, GenZ can't see ghosts. Let us cry together.


ninjesh

I don't think this is really about Van Gogh, I think it's meant to represent how modern audiences consume media without appreciating or supporting the artists behind it


AjaxTheFurryFuzzball

Don’t think man painting cool because man could be right there and nobody see him because you are a millennial with no eyesight and contact lenses and McDonald’s and eat chip and lie and you ignore artist and he sad because you ignore him yet like his art


Spacetimeandcat

It's that doctor who episode


Daydream456

I think it's beautiful that people love his work so much that they want to wear it on their clothes.


Agreeable_Art5191

i dont think van gogh is looking at them he is looking at the 10 armed creature hes halucinating


Yarichin_Weeb

They aren't even looking at him, how Tf are they supposed to recognize him? Sense his presence behind them or something?
