Everything Stops for Tea - Professor Elemental

A(n unofficial) animated music video for Professor Elemental's "Everything Stops for Tea." This is from his second major EP release, Father of Invention, for which I also designed the album cover.

[@Karagianis]

There were several battles lost in ww2 in part due to tank crews being outside their tanks making tea when the attack started. because of this, (and the possible threat of nuclear war). All post ww2 British tanks and most AFVs have had something called a boiling vessel so the crew can make tea inside their tanks! :D

[@JohnCephas]

is that true! source?

[@Tindometari]

Funny thing, just before reading this comment, I was imagining some German general ordering his troops to suspend attack at 15.58.
This would be effective psychological warfare because the English troops, being Englishmen, would be presented with the mental conflict between, on the one hand the desire to praise and thank the Germans for being so considerate -- and, on the other, a deep anxiety over the possibility of being mocked and a strong suspicion that the Germans would resume fire ten seconds after the Commander drinks his first sip.

[@JohnCephas]

@@Tindometari Quite the imagination! I like it

[@victoriahadley7138]

It should have been included in the first place lol!!!

[@JimRyan]

I just love the idea that Alfred is EVERYONE'S butler.

[@Crimethoughtfull]

He's the most butlerish of butlers.

[@Tindometari]

Never forget that it is always 4 PM ... somewhere.

[@greomgh]

This should be the national anthem. Also - great animation!

[@Abelhawk]

I love the 1920s feel of the song :D

[@Angelica_Steam8750]

Abelhawk It was released in 1925 I believe...

[@alejandrorivas4585]

1935 to be exact

[@MattMurdockCZ]

@@alejandrorivas4585 You are certainly a better person if you can state from which year a song is, but it really does have a 1920s feel

[@jasonflay8818]

may be unofficial but it's spectacular! Love the animation and illustration. I need a poster of smiling Professor Elemental holding a teacup for my office!

[@lewispeake6691]

I was drinking tea when first listening to this :)

[@danbotten5602]

School finishes at 3:30
Me : gotta get home fast ( by 4pm) so I make time for tea

[@rahrahryn]

Ahaha, the delighted faces really make this video.

[@thedirtydoom]

EINS, ZWEI, DREI, VIER ALLES STOPPT FÜR BIER

[@biggles1483]

An excellent animation mate bloody well done!

[@vsgeo]

Great job, David!

[@captainmatiastorres4425]

Playing BF1 listening to this..... I got all the highlights

[@roberthonan3492]

Please, the record it quite clear that Queen Victoria did not smoke cannabis. That would be most unladylike. She did, however, love a particular brand of hashish candies. Edibles are much more civilized, and much more potent too.

[@Korina42]

Too many of the Prof's tea songs; it's 4:00 somewhere...
Also, lovely animation; it suits the song most excellently well.

[@adreabrooks11]

I'm sure the Professor would approve of this!

[@ScottishVagabond]

Lovely update of the Jack Buchanan classic! :)

[@ayrikarottier847]

He reminds me of my cousin . She loves professor elemental!

[@gobl1nboy]

This animation brings me joy

[@cassandrahouston1469]

Wow, that was adorable and very well done!

[@imnotsosane5711]

Love Elemental, Love the song, love the art. Approved.

[@ReiverBlue1971]

It's always too short.....but oh so sweet" Nice animation

[@johannesvandermarliere8544]

[@bahbcat]

Now I want a cuppa. Do I havta wait for 4?

[@davedoodles]

Never! Tea is a drink for all hours. I had a cup of Earl Grey at 3am just the other day.

[@tuxino]

Bahb Woolley The clock is always around 4 somewhere.

[@idontknowwhatiamdoinganymo1615]

I remember doing this in ww1 airsoft the Germans continued barrages of mortar, cannons, machine guns, and gas and in the mist of it all I'm sitting in the dugout with my mate toasting some English muffins and brewing tea while mustard gas (yellow smoke) pours in not going to let War ruin tradition we hooked up straws to the filter holes and drank scolding hot tea in a gas mask.

[@vsgfilmgroup]

Confounded Jerry trying to ruin tea time!

[@alexandraispravnic6090]

Good work! Keep it up!

[@Optimator7]

So good

[@TheProfessorTex]

I could use a spot o' tea..

[@Urspo]

[@Ari-kr9nc]

Yo why does this slap

[@jackneathery6357]

A splendid video!

[@prussiankingdom1693]

Well my tea is done

[@gonzalobarreiro7379]

1:16 those teeth makes it more British

[@Kiba_Mar-Glas]

[@bisher69]

Nice animation

[@Zephyr616]

Drinking a nice cuppa brown stuff rn

[@1timcat]

I take tea at three

[@wayakamejima4771]

Yeah... Victoria smoked a lot of weed.

[@Verminskyi]

Look old bean, not sure if you're a fine upstanding fellow or some foreign johnny so word to the wise criticism is a delight of the British. Loved the video and the Prof's cover but chum that brown uniform on the Tommies don't'alf make them look like Boche. You know. Sausage eaters, Fritz, Jerry, the great humourless, the hun........

[@orangepekoe5243]

Verminskyi don't forget that kooky Kaiser

[@jmurray1110]

quite so my dear man we dont want our boy to get confused for those notorious jerries the empire must always keep itself fresh and recognisable

[@maxwellfarris5410]

I wonder how long that hand took.

[@davedoodles]

Not as long as you might think. If I recall correctly, this video was animated on threes.

[@alanharding4126]

Silly, but in a good way.

[@glennviking]

0:16 is the clock wrong or his watch?

[@davedoodles]

I mean, it might be five minutes off on the wall, I suppose. It's pretty close, though. Cheap wall clocks are notoriously slow.

[@jstarstudios7110]

I must say, I prefer Thomas Benjamin Wild, Esquire's version
