Did you think it was over? Did you really believe you wouldn't be dragged back kicking and screaming to the precipice edge and be made to out on the world? Your life flashes before your eyes, do you have any regrets? What was that? You wish you'd been watching more Jack Stauber... Ahhh. I see. So your children mean nothing to you? Great, I'll just throw them off the aforementioned cliff and you and I are gonna go watch SHOP: A Pop Opera against your will.

Hey y'all, hope you liked the video. See you soon for part two, we are Legion:)
I literally saw this on an adults swim marathon, I forgot which one though
My favorite song is the coffee song ☕
Yes, you do a very good job.
Damn bruh big time now I love it 😅
❤
Jack Stauber is a very impressive voice actor. He has a lot of range, and it’s impressive since as far as I know, he doesn’t get anyone else to voice act in his work, with exceptions like the Peppermint song.
I think there is help in baby hotline
@@abbyjellybean95 Same girl is in Doctor too :)
Listening to his songs you hear a billion examples of my extreme manual vocal manipulation with the voices and falsettos and the zany sounds, it's so cool
I saw this comment when first watching this video thinking, "wait, how did I make that comment, I've never seen this video before?", then I realized it wasn't me whi made the comment, just someone with a similar profile picture, lol.
@@vandapanda6570 i thought you were the same person before i saw the names and ur full comment lmao
I remember when "Shop a pop opera" first came out and being OBSESSED with it for weeks. It would be the only thing I'd listen to for hours on end. It's a real glimpse on how creative and brilliant Jack truly is. I know I valued it's meanings and messages and I'm sure lots of others did to.
So glad I wasn’t the only one
I initially saw it because it got randomly recommended to me on CZcams and I still can't get over how genius it really is
Yeah, the creativity of it all with something so simple as grocery shopping
@@danielprofetayo were shop part 2
oh wow me too
another thing about shop is that every character he runs into is shaped liked the thing he’s looking for, jeff himself has the hair swirl in the same shape as the yoghurt. i just think that’s really fun
This is so cool, definitely will make a point to mention it in the next video
Daniel: did you think this was over?
Me: no, actually I've been patiently waiting for the continuation of your delve into Jack Stauber's work because it's interesting and entertaining :)
Welcome back my friend
@@danielprofetaJack is such a genius
That man isn’t a potato, he’s an artesianal bread, all the characters are shaped like what Jeff is buying. The employee cleaning the glass looks like a paper towel. The man who looks like me- I mean who plans his lunches-looks like oatmeal. And also the couple in the other part of the shop is from another Jack Stauber video.
Shop! A pop opera, (oh-oh). Shop! A pop Operaaaa-aaaa, (wow). Shop, a pop opera( Jack Stauber sounds). Shop! A pop operaaaa-aaaa
I hope you agree
I do agree
As someone with ADHD, "Shop" hit me so hard that I cried the first few times I saw it; it made me feel so seen. I felt like "Mess" especially was made just for me; ever since childhood, I was always considered to be "messy," to the point where it developed into a reputation for me among family members and teachers, and I felt extremely guilty about it. Even today, I'm terrified of spilling or breaking things, to the point of panic attacks or emotional breakdowns. To add to that, I've always been hyper-aware of the fleeting nature of mortality. I can still remember being a child, sitting in class, and thinking, "I'm closer to death now than I ever have been." I often spiral thinking about death and its inevitability, and while people have tried to reassure me about my anxieties, telling me not to worry about them didn't work, because I didn't have anyone I could relate to when it came to that. When I first heard "Mess," it voiced everything I had been thinking all my life, about my panic surrounding literal messes, the permanence of death, and our constant entropic march towards it. Every single part of "Shop" was brilliant, but "Mess" spoke to me on such a personal level that to this day, I'm still stunned just by how much it made me feel understood.
Jack Staubers “Shop a pop opera” is one of those pieces of media that sticks with you, like the good place. Watching things like that have made me an oddly philosophical person and a existentialist. Shop is my favorite work from Jack Stauber (opal is also really good I’m just scared of the scary mirror man face)
Excited for part 2! milk.
Other than scary mirror man, you gotta agree that the cigarette + mirror songs slap.
@@Mikescool444 yeah the songs do slap
Honestly at some point I should make videos doing deep dives into different schools of philosophical thought, the concepts they explore on how best to perceive life interest me to no end hahaha
@@danielprofeta I’d watch it!
@@ronanmcqueary5215 cool cool cool:)
Jack Stauber is truly the man of stuff.
One of the men of all time
He definitely has made some stuff. I do not think there are any words in any language that can accurately describe the aforementioned stuff but it certainly is stuff.
"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." - Voltaire
Voltaire knew what he was talking about... Which creates a paradox...
I love how you can hear that jack voices every character in shop, it’s just funny to think he recorded all of these lines in all of these different and weird voices
It's so cool
I feel like Shop covers one consistent theme, with all its songs diving deeper into sub themes. In my opinion the entire thing focuses on the idea of the “ideal” life people obsess over, which in reality is basically impossible to achieve, as well as the consistent pressure surrounding productivity, health, choices, limited time, and not being able to do things at your own pace. Some of the sub themes are death,, the feeling like you are not doing enough and just wasting your time, etc. (Milk) ; having things (clothes, food, house, money) speak for you, as you mentioned, the fear of losing everything you worked so hard for, etc. (Bread) ; how easily things can be destroyed and years worth of work can disappear for a second, a single slip up being able to cause something that will heal extremely slowly or won’t at all, the fear of making a mistake, even though they are unavoidable, etc. (Paper Towels) ; once again the feeling of wasting your time, not having a minute to yourself or to relax, the pressure to be productive and not waste even a split second, having a limited time, perhaps even the need to have control over your life all the time and the fear of losing said control but that may be a bit of an exaggeration (Oatmeal) ; addiction, losing track of time, being extremely dependant on something, maybe losing your identity? (coffee) ; grief, regret, being forced to make decisions, not being able to take things at your own pace, overthinking and worrying about every decision, pressure, anxiety surrounding the expectations people have and choosing, and maybe, at the very end, hope, realization, finding self-worth, understanding how absurd everything is and being able to make choices without overthinking it (Cheese). BUT all of this is just how I see it and what it feels like to me, all silly thoughts and nothing more, nothing less :))
Congrats on getting a Sponsor, Daniel! That's real promising, and I'm really proud you managed that! Well done!
Also coffee definitely can be like that, caffeine is addictive extemely to neurotypical things
Coffee does almost nothing to me it's crazy... Methamphetamine on the other hand.
@@danielprofeta coffee actively makes me focus BETTER, cause I got that ADHD type brain. I have not tried Methamphetamine as I was diagnosed too late to get ADHD tablets, but I'd assume if it was the right dose I also wouldn't be that bad.
Genuinely couldn’t explain how excited seeing a new daniel profeta video in my recommended makes me feel
A lot of us feel the same way. 🙂
Woohoo, y'all are awesome:)
Am I happy for a new Jack Stauber video? Well yeah, but I'm more happy that there's a new Daniel Profeta video
Aww:) welcome back!!
i’ve watched shop so many times. i love the humor and metaphors hidden in this short. the way jack shows addiction with coffee, the five stages of grief with cheese, mortality with milk; it’s truly amazing.
(also, have you seen jack’s videos from about 7 years ago? they’re quite different from his videos now, but they have their charms. “and then some” “cough drop music” and “que’est-ce que j’ai fait” are some of my favorites!)
he’s searching for *food* aka life’s nutrients. the main character is constantly searching for the meaning of life and tries to milk (get it?) all of the enjoyment from it, but loses himself in the process. finally, as the grocery list comes to an end, he realizes that he shouldn’t spend his whole life searching for solely its meaning and instead learns to focus on himself.
"i'm just kidding... i'm gonna make a part 2 regardless." dayum, was ready to beg
You'll get more opportunities
Hi ya, Daniel! So happy you went on to explore the SHOP: a pop opera. I really look forward to a part 2 (maybe 3 depending how deep you go). I'm so happy to see people covering his content, because there is little else on the internet that I believe deserves more analysis than Jack Stauber. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching my friend, see you on the next video!!
I really like this short. A nice story about getting over simple anxieties like the fear of addiction, being unique, decisions, or having to methodic of a life. It’s nice
Also I noticed that each character resembles whatever item he's looking for. expired milk Lady has the tented hair, bread guy is shaped like the loaf he takes, store clerk is a roll of paper towel, complete with the corregation lines, coffee lady has 3 wavy up-hairs and a ear shaped like a handle, but idk about the cheese. Maybe it's supposed to be Jeff's head, or the guy giving samples. the strawberry sample does have Jeff's hair swirl, but maybe I'm stretching it.
Honestly, I loved shop for the simple reason that I could see myself, walking through those aisles, minding my own business, getting stuff and being approached by strangers, and being uncomfortable, but taking on their personalities a little bit. Jack is a genius.
Also funni
I did a very audible "YES!!!" when I saw you'd made another one of these videos, thanks for the great content!
Thanks for watching, I'll just keep making you audibly say YES with every upload... Don't mind me.
So glad jacks shop is finally getting the recognition he deserves. He works so hard it’s insane
The cut off-😭😭😭
Heheheh
YES! I haven't heard anybody talk about shopped and the ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECES that come from it. I also missed your videos! You manage to hit a part of my humor I didn't know I had.
Welcome back then, thanks for watching!! More Jack Stauber content on the way
I need part 2, these breakdowns are amazing.
lord jack stauber makes u feel like you're having a fever dream and high at the same time in the best way
Great video! I happen to know someone who would really like those pickle Oreos…
Me too:) hence the reference
Babe wake up new daniel profeta vid dropped

Your account is so underrated! Glad I found you :)
shop has my one of my favourite songs by jack Stauber, 'Milk' I love that song so much
You love to see another Jack Stauber video.
Sucks I'm sleeping right now though.
Then how did you write this?
@@Yosef1952 Because I was sleeping
@@TheRealLifeKillerMoth makes perfect sense

Did you eventually watch it? If not I'm coming to haunt your home till you do.

@@danielprofeta that’s the second great jack stauber pun i’ve heard today!! (unrelated but the first one was my friend talking about how it was raining and she said “i hope it isn’t still raining when i go under the awning”)
Wait? Why is this channel small? Your content is great man!! Hope you get to 100k and dominate the world
If you like it, share it... Word of mouth is how I've gotten to this point in the first place, and we'll continue onwards and upwards till we touch the stars.
@daniel profeta hell yeah!! Btw, is profeta just your surname or something? Because in my native language that word means something pretty cool that I think matches with you aesthetic somehow
@@Lobo.mp4 it is my surname, doesn't it mean prophet? I think?
@@danielprofeta Yes!! Oh, and as a brazilian I have a civil duty to say this,
COME TO BRAZILLLLLLL
I found out about you through your 1st jack stauber video so I really enjoyed this! I love the messages and meanings he puts behind his work. can't wait for part 2 :]
See you soon
I really resonate with the oatmeal song because I do eat plain oatmeal every morning, my family doesnt go into the kitchen when I cook breakfast anymore because i listen to it on repeat until I finish cooking it 🫣
The fact that you quoted Hereditary had me rolling on the floor because I also started quoting it after hearing "face on your face" fully expecting it to be just a me thing. I was pleasantly proven wrong! Love your videos, Daniel :)
THE INTRO IS ALREADY CHAOTIC
this video is gonna be great
This is probably my favorite thing Jack has done. I love that it's very funny, but it makes you think to. I always watch it when i'm sad. Also, congrats on your second sponsor! Take care! (Also I love the fact that you sang pepper at the end. One of my favorite songs :))
Love Pepper, and most of that bands material. I'm flying... I'm flying away...
so glad to see this past few days ive had the opening song stuck in my head its actually made me get back into doodling
“Don’t Mine at Night”
Also, I have to say that @Maiden8650 does an amazing job with the thumbnails. I am very impressed and hopefully we can see more of her work. 👍
Her work is awesome!!
The fact that Jack made a series from tying basic household items to these deep philosophical meanings is what’s the most fascinating. He could make meaning from a piece of lint and id be intrigued.
I know it's been a few days but I've been waiting for this, thank you so much for making this lmao
Its kinda funny that this video explaining Shop: A Pop Opera is longer than the mini movie of Shop: A Pop Opera
You debuted this at midnight ET.Will have to watch the whole thing later today(Tuesday).Look forward to it.
I CAN'T BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY I AM THAT YOU UPLOADED ANOTHER OF THESE VIDEOS THANK YOU SO FCKIN MUCH
:) thank you
After seeing weird world of Jack Stauber part 3 I need the next part of this brooo
Your jack stauber videos are endlessly entertaining
I try, but no comparison to the real thing. Go watch Jack's videos, they're all so good
@@danielprofeta I've already watched almost every single video repeatedly
@@Boxscape_VR as you should:)
Daniel: And as a vampire...
Me: Ha ha ha ha ha! You're joking, right?
I had never known about Jack stauber before your videos thank you so much for getting me into his stuff
I am ashamed to admit that it took me multiple viewings to realize that all the characters in the aisles are drawn to resemble the products Jeff is looking for.
It took me reading the comments mentioning it on my own video...
QUE VIDEO INCRIVEL, recentemente eu tenho criado uma obssessão pelo jack stauber e seus videos me ajudam a entender mais os videos dele.
Is that Portuguese? Looks very familiar, I was born in Brazil. And yes, Daniel has great videos and music.
You're so real for singing pepper at the end :3
"im just kidding im gonna make a part 2 regardless" o.o
Bae please make another one, I’m feening for it
Love your thoughts on things. Enjoyed your video!
ive been listening to jack stauber a lot more lately, its like listening to crack cocaine.
edit: im so glad ur covering shop, it's the video that introduced me to jack stauber. jack really popped off with this one and i never see anyone covering it. stellar. also idk if u notice somewhere in here and i just haven't seen it yet, but every character is shaped like their grocery item.
There's just something about his music, it's so infectious
listening to cocaine is actually a good way of putting it I like this analogy
So, my interpretation was (after watching it multiple times after it consumed my soul with serotonin) is that all short encounters represent some kind of aspekt of making choices. These define your way of identity. So the otherruling theme is the search for your own identity.
In the song about milk is about life generelly. What society do you belong to? Did you have a family? Were you happy?
The song about bread asks the question, if wealth gives happiness. It says rich people define themselves by the object they obtain, but on their own there is no identity. So, can they be themselves or do they need to hide? Also, being rich doesn't mean that they worked for the riches. That's why they hide behind *YOUR* success.
The song about oat meal is says that routine can help but also constrict you to specific things. Finding the balance between routine and new thing is important.
Mess is a hard one for me... Maybe realize how random life is and embrace the chaos? Not allways being so negative on yourself by one small mistake.
In the end Jeff finally decides for himself and stops doubting himself. he learns to accept life as it is and be ok with their consequences.
Truly poetic. Jack Stauber is one, if not the most, of my favorite artists.
I think mess just says how if you make a mistake it will take longer to heal or there is no way to heal
idk though
@Cloud_hair That could be the case too.
Thank you for sharing your interpretation!!
I introduced my nephew to Jack Stauber with Shop: A Pop Opera, he didn’t enjoy it, but it’s one of my favorite things Jack’s made and I listen to it constantly while drawing or doing chores.
Absurdism has helped me realised that instead of ending a sentence properly
Favorite comment
you expect coherence? you expect things to make sense? well you
i love these so much
Tbh i felt happy to see u continued the series :D
Been waiting for this! I love your videos as well as Jack Stauber, so getting another video by you about his work made my day
Then again, the day started like 10 minutes before this video came out but yknow-
Can you tell me? Why it sounds so easy to breathe?
@@danielprofeta opal video when 👀
@@cooisa soon... Very soon
That little snip it of "pepper" at the end was really good.
Markie got with Sharon
@@danielprofeta Sharon got Cherise
Shop is absolutely one of my favorite Jack Stauber creations and I was waiting for you to make a video about it 😈😈
This is definitely one of Jack's more existential pieces. The mundane is a really important part of the absurdist philosophy. In Camus' essay on sisyphus, he compares daily life to what the old greek king did, we eternally push a boulder up a hill just to have it fall down. But the part where Sisyphus can get the most enjoyment out of life, when he was truly satisfied is when he finally reached the top, and the boulder fell, because there he can see that despite the absordist nature of his task, and the fact that he has to repeat it all over again, there was a progress made, and a sense of accomplishment.
I feel like the supermarket symbolizes the same thing. Usually a chore that must be done untill we die, something that has no meaning, but in taking his time, stopping and really thinking about what he is doing, he can truly apreciate the life that he has been given and all it's beauty, just because it doesn't have any meaning doesn't mean it can't be beatiful and full of complex ideas.
Great vid and thanks for introducing me to this masterpiece.
Part 2 please! I want a part 2. :
Scrolling through the comments and noticing that you liked and replied to every single one was one of the most wholesome moments in my entire life.
Shop: a pop opera is my favorite story about a man having an extasential crisis in a grocery store
i love the reanimated collab!
Well, first of all, if I want strong bones, I just visit the local cemetery. Second, how did you ever get to be so cool, so funny, and so interesting to listen to, my man? That was outstanding. I mean, it was LIT, as you young hipsters say. Mahalo once again for dragging my already severely damaged psyche into new depths of Stygian-level darkness.
We are no longer legion. We are hipsters
I love this I NEED More you should do opal at some point
Jack at the store: wow I'm gonna die someday...... lets write a song about this
I think it is fun how most of the people look like the item they are singing about.
I noticed this when the old lady had a weird haircut looking like a milk carton.
I love your Jack Stauber videos
From ya small outtro covers I've come to the conclusion that you have the best taste in music and the best first name
From a fellow Daniel with "great taste"
Thank you! I love Shop and Jack Stauber and you do very good reactions 😊
I'm surprised you didn't cover how each of the characters look exactly like the grocery items, the grandma looks like a milk carton and the artisanal guy looks like the bread etc.
Lol all the people that Jeff meets before he has a stroke touching grocery items looks like the product he’s gonna buy
You're awesome!
YESSSS this video was so good i got so excited when i saw this in my notifications :D
happy you could get a sponser
Me too lol
@@danielprofeta your jack stabbed content is awesome! You should do something on lemon demon
@@scandalousbeans2591 don't stab jack!!
YIPPEEEEE! So glad to see a new post great job :}
Thank you!!! Welcome back my friend
I can't wait to see the next installment!! Would love to hear your thought on Opal one day. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate it, thank you for watching
Due to an ad at 8:35, I heard
““As the boots of time trample more unfortunate souls and leave fields barren-🎶At DK, have it your way 🎶”
Ok this is hilarious
Okay, so the eye that makes a tear that turns into a uder being milked got me and idea. It sort of reminded me of how people will manipulate people who are sensitive, sort of “milking” it in a way?. It could also be the other way around. A person who mills their own tears to get what they want. Also, it reminded me of how it’s okay to cry and show your emotions, but you can only cry so much, until there are no tears left to cry. I don’t know how to explain my idea’s , but I hope it got through. I would love if someone told me any ideas from this?
the characters look like the food items they represent because you are what you eat.
I hope after Shop you might cover Opal, they're my two favorite things Jack has ever made
Shop was my introduction to Jack Stauber and it´s one of my favorite animations he´s made.
I just love how I immediately got your reference.
Hereditary, right?
I'm loving this series!
Yay, I'm glad
Thank you for continuing to cover my favourite artist :)
Thank you for the support my friend, see you around
3000, Daniel p, we are waiting patiently, Daniel
Keep up the great work
I appreciate it Dave!
Mess is personally my favorite Shop song. (don't mine at night)
PLZ PART 2😭
Once the first song started I started singing along, and expected it continue even though it didn't :(
“The point is, death disease, destruction-“ “THE CANTINA CHICKEN TACO-”
I- .. thanks Taco Bell. 💀
That made me laugh
IM SO HYPED FOR MORE ^^
