The continued effort to document these strange, elusive memes.
Starting with some never-before-seen footage
Hot oc coming in... hot.
>>937857
Very nice gondola. I like the way you think.
Reposting my oc from last thread because I'm still very happy with how it came out.

We need a gondola repository/archive

fugg, that looks incredibly comfy
An experiment: upbeat and happy music

Nice Gondola mayne. This thread really hit it out of the park.

whats the tune from this from or is it just some stock bullshit?
Made this in November
>>939575
Got you covered senpai. Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPOIS5taqA8
It's probably a midi cover or a karaoke version.
Gondola is taking over on drawball.com The chaos ball to be exact.
>>939585
thanks friend, ive discovered so many smooth tracks from these threads
Don't have anything to contribute, but I love these threads.
Might try some OC tomorrow.
>>939652
you bastard make me sad
>>939431
pretty good
>>938897
song name?
>>939652
good one
anyone explaing where gondola came from? meem origin?
>>939652
Since sooner or later someone is going to ask, the song is from Hachiko main theme "Goodbye"
Which program(s) should i use?
>>940250
it goes back about 2 decades to 2chan. They used to post a text-bear-face as a meme that eventually was adopted by 4chan and other chans as "pedobear." After that meme got stale, the Finns made an incredibly crude drawing of pedobear a meme which became "spurdo sparde," spawning shit like the "ids habbening" meme and the american bear /int/ used a lot. anyway, this meme has limped along continuously until someone on i think ylilauta created a few images of a comically simplified spurdo with only legs and called it 'gondola.' The first wave of images was mainly gondola being subtly and carefully pasted into beautiful scenery and works of art. This thread is the result of a few people setting these images to music, and the format taking off.
>>938554
hahaha that is fantastic man, good job
>>940493
I thank the webm overlords every day. While I enjoy the gondolas drawn into paintings, these crudely drawn gifs set to mood music are fantastic for the most part.
>>940237
It's a cover from Coldplay - Talk
>>939431
You put the gondola in a (sad and) empty place. You play a song which isn't a bright one either. Yet you make the gondola smile. May I ask you why?
>>940534
Is this Gondola using the other as bait. That's some dark shit here.
>>940621
Gondola is unaware of his peril or maybe he doesn't care. In the song major tom doesn't really give a shit either, he just kind of floats off while ground control is freaking out.
>>940290
oh god I love this
Can someone explain to me as if I'm a retard (because I feel like one) as how to make these things animated in Paint.NET? I'm at a complete loss, any help would be appreciated.
>>939652
Gondola isn't supossed to be sad m8
Also, Gondola repository when?
>>940625
When I drew it, I imagined that the hooked gondola was just swimming leisurely when the bait looked tasty.
I like to think that gondolas are of simple mind, the things in the pictures just happen to them and they accept that it is their lot.
>>940620
m8.
Coldplay's talk is the cover. The original is Kraftwerk - Computer Love:

Don't remind me about the forced "rulebook" to the Polandball comics.
good thread
>>939585
I like this one.
And here's a natural followup.
>>939431
any song sauce? Desperately need anons <3
I've never seem such a comfy meme.
Those Finns, man, how do they do it?
>>941303
didn't know it was a finnish meme. I love the gondola threads
gondola has touched my heart. i have gondola oc now
>>941349
Nice
>>940620
horrible bait.
>>941349
what a tasty beat, got some sauce?
>>937857
Beetle ;_;
>>938673
song please
>>940290
What game is this from?
My 100% OC gondola from the last thread (image, guitar playing and ambient/rain sounds by me)
>>939014
this one's great
>>941627
>this dude taking credit for rain
>>939014
This one is great but it could be even better with just a tiny amount of work. Just making the steam and raindrops move and maybe the fire glow would make it absolutely godly.
Ho to create animated Gondolas on Linux?
>>941716
>that song
Holy fuck i was just doing a gondola with Dawn Chorus kek
>>941443
From the Shadows by Chris Gillrie
>>941680
Have you ever tried to record rain or water sounds? It's damn difficult. Just putting a microphone out in the rain doesn't do it. On that video, I used a combination of a small water fountain and shaped noise to make it sound richer. To be fair, you can't hear much of it due to the sound compression.
Fresh OC, let me know what you think.
>>941909
I like it. Sauce on music?
>>941499
Looks like Legend of Mana aka Seiken densetsu 4, by square enix on playstation.

Damn good stuff guys. Keep it up.
So how are you guys making and animating these? I have an idea or two
>>942122
I have seen this image a million times and just now recognized the fucking Gondola Miku figure.
>>938920
I have the extended version. I don't know which one is better.
>>941288
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNuSD49chY8
This is such a good meme, I love making these
>>942464
Right? I can't make anything worth sharing with a mouse and paint.net but here I am making cozy gondola webms
spurdo is better, this just makes me feel terrible
>>942584
thats odd cause gondola isn't supposed to be sad or angry, gondola is supposed to be peacefully observing and enjoying the world
best thread on 4chan rn
may gondola be with you always friends
>>942196
>i make shitty drawings in paint.net or mspaint with many layers
>make like 4 or 5 different images for the animation frames
>throw them into adobe premiere/sony vegas/windows movie maker
>smash the 4-5 pictures into a 4-5 frame loop along with some fitting music
>wrap myself in a blanket and enjoy the gondola
>>940621
Because he's finally alone. Finally at peace.
I tried.
>>939585
It would have been better without the vocals desu.
Fresh OC from the finest orchards in all of memeland.
>>943130
I don't know if this is a good gondola but I love it
>>943130

>>943133
It's a disenchanted, alcoholic gondola.
>>943130
11/10... if I would collect them, i would celebrate now
what the fuck is Gondola?
>>943220
Scroll up and you'll see over 30 examples.
>>937857
sauce on the music?
>>943234
I did so, and my question still stands..
>>943242
You just don't "get" it man.
>>943242
Look at them again, then look within. Only you can answer that question.
I was confused at first, but now I understand, Gondola is a part of me, a part of all of us. Gondola is life.
OC
>>943240
i second this
>>943296
please do one with nightcall as background music
>>943296

I know this isn't a request thread by I'd love if someone could make a gondola involving snow, melancholic music and mountains...
>>943536
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Viq1NntAQ
>>943550
Literally do it yourself. Thats the beauty of gondola, anyone can do it. And when you are done, even if it is absolute shit, post it.

>>944111
why must you make gondola so sad :(
here's some OC
I based the picture on my actual Mcdonalds I work at. I always liked being in the window since its away from everyone else and I loved watching the sunset. Helps with the mood i'd be in
The song is 'Nothing has Changed' by Viva
Quality OC right there anon I really enjoyed it.
>>944685
Went ahead and just made one with the whole song. The song is "Green Sea Pageant Boss" by Lone.
>>937857
Anyone have the one where its sitting in the shower?
Life is a secret
I hear this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyyL_TICbrU
and all I can see is the reflection of a gondola looking at the earth from the ISS, maybe some apollo chatter in the background
>>943958
Ultragondola is cute as fuck.

Good shit senpai
>>941627
this is really beautiful
kinda takes me back to some more bittersweet memories
good work man
Gondola might be the most beautiful thing made by the internet so far. Some of these are very touching.
>>938707
good song choice
My attempt to understand goldola
Song is Earth Seen from Above by Meredith Monk
Holy shit these are making me halfway comfy/depressed
Don't know why but I love 'em.
>>945799
>Gondolas are relaxed, harmless creatures that observe their environment. They rarely interfere anything, but just keep observing. They rarely talk, just look around and smile. This makes them very different from other creatures such as spurdo, that feel, pepe, yoba, etc.
>Gondola is the silent walker. Having no hands he embodies the Taoist
principle of wu-wei (non-action) while his smiling facial expression
shows his utter and complete acceptance of the world as it is.
Welcome, brother. Won't you help us understand gondola?
>>939431
Feels were had
>>944760
DKC?
>tfw you spend a whole day making a gondola and nobody gives a fuck
i think i am the gondola
>>945752
not bad, i like
I'm looking for one where Gondola is sitting in a field, grass occasionally blows, acoustic guitar muisic
>>946082
Many nostalgic feels were had this day.
>>944789
gondola has finally found peace ;__;
How do you catch these things
>>946131
With scenic landscapes
>>944742
i got you
>>946192
imo this is best gondola. Also song is from Amelie
This meme is called Gondola? What? I understood Spurdo's name but this?
>>938554
What song?
>>944597
Good shit, gondola as life experiences...
>>946212
Here you go.

>>946192
I return your patronage
>>946257
The Gondola bring the music with them, like how Geese carry the Spring
>>943254
Beautiful
First time I've ever stopped to look at a gondola thread and some of these have really had quite a profound effect on me. How are we going to stop normies from trashing the fuck out of this and tearing the soul from it?
I'm at the boiling point of getting these webms to work properly while being under this fucking filesize/
Does anyone have the Prussian one, Koyaanisqatsi, and the one that uses Silent Hill 4 music, I think?

Bask in the glory of the raw essence of meme
>>940621
Gondola isn't supposed to show any emotions, he's just an spectator, that's why he doesn't have arms thus he can't change what he sees. The only thing he can do is accept the way his life is and move on, that's why he only has legs.
>>947172
very nice
A bit of OC..

Always gets me right in the feels for some reason.

>>941627
just my 2 cent and I just discovered this thread for the first time but I think things like the rainy feeling should be conveyed by the music and the image. Adding it as ambient sound is in excess imo.
>>939012

Going to sleep now dudes.
Can someone post me the last gondola of the day, please?

Need to know who plays this bach tune

Every single one of you that has made a gondola OC should feel good about yourselves. I really enjoy all of these.
Thanks.
>>944597
I feel happy, sad, melancholic, and nostalgic. There are tears in my eyes yet a smile on my face. Why? Why is it that this image above all else has caused me to feel this way? I know I'm not the only 1.

Grizzly Hills music from Wrath of the Lich King.
Probably the best ambient video game track ever.
>>948978
sauce on this beautiful music, what a god-like taste, well done, WELL DONE! I'm seriously sitting on my chair, crying thru this flux of mixed emotions I can't describe, it's a spiritual experience. Gondola is the best thing I had in my life, yet I can't even come to explain it, it's like I've finally found myself.
>>948978
I'm feeling really down today. I had plans but they ended up being canceled really early in the morning. Perhaps the other person was never going to go on the event anyway. But this gondola is pretty good. It is nice to have in the background. Go on an adventure little Gondola.

Go easy on the gondolas with lyrics, guys.

Really, this must be the way the director envisioned it.To the point, but without losing its humble, reserved solemnity. Well done.

Would you kindly leave the museum grounds, sir? We do not appreciate that rude behavior here.

how about this lads
>>949276
I like it a lot
Is this the newest peak of art? I'm honestly inspired by gondolas.
>>949287
I've honestly had a lot of fun over the last day making like 20
>>949298
I feel as if the simplicity that's expected of each piece, along with the undertone of humor makes us lower our expectations and enjoy ourselves. In that state we are easily impressed, thus letting Gondolas be simple and comfy pieces of art.
>>949310
fuck off meme professor show me your meme doctorate

My very first Gondola. I was trying to think of what to make when life gave me inspiration. Wanted to make my first Gondola animated but there's not much animation I could do in this one. Hopefully next Gondola.

Why use Yes for that manga?
First gondola, getting in here before the thread closes.
>>950942
Credits song in the anime.
>>950972
Last Train Home was the ED for Stardust Crusaders, however.
>>949139
Band is Twilight Force
>>950852
You should add a couple frames of animation to it to really push the atmosphere.
Simply adding a blinking light or something subtle like that would go a long way.
>>938707
name of that song ? great gondola btw
Let grandola tell you a tale from his youth.
>>948242
I listen to a lot of soundtrack music at work since I find lyrics distracting. I spend most days driving a machine of some sort, so I just take note of the song I am hearing and of a concept I'd like to make. When I get home I give it a try and see if it works or not.
>>948457
the gap between those who get and those who don't get gondola is getting wider. you know what happened to pepe, once the gaggle gets a hold of this, gondola will be misunderstood and turned into a shy, mute stalker or something equally wrong.
>>951747
what program do you use to mix the drawing/animation with the music ? what program do you use to add effects to the music ? I've selected a track and I've sketched the scene but I don't know where to go from there
>>951734
Now I've posted this it doesn't feel gondola enough anyone think of a replacement song?
>>951774
Fire should be "animated" imo.
As for a song, pic anything from the AoE 2 soundtrack:

How can we preserve Gondola as it is right now, This is a great meme, that i dont want to lose
>>951780
Funnily enough I was considering some tracks from rise of rome. What program is good for animating something with few frames?
>>951781
Continue to make content that fits this trend.

I saved all of these gondolas and I'll cherish each and every single one of them.
>>953802
I didn't get it because I'm not Australian but pretty good. I think Gondola emoted a little too much.
What is Gondola, anons?
>>954858
The observer.
He is content with his situation.
>>954872
>He is content with his situation.
All this expresses much.
He is originally from 4chan? or where it was started?
>>954888

>>954888
ylilauta /int/, I think.
What is Gondola? Though at first it seems to be a crude corruption of Spurdo, the creativity and depth that lies behind the former is far more self-evident. Gondola may be best described as a meme that captures a sublime and indescribable state of being. He is placed in scenes either abstract, absurd, or beautiful, yet always maintains a distance and seldom interacts with the scene itself. Instead, Gondola functions as an observer. His role is simply to let himself exist within the world and let time pass by without interference. The inclusion of calm or atmospheric music is often used to elicit a similar emotional response from the viewer. Viewing a static image or animation, we too are drawn into Gondola's role, witnessing a scene and letting it pass by. Gondola helps the viewer understand how a passive attitude to the world can facilitate an ethos of contentment and inner peace. In this sense, Gondola may be the most important meme in recent memory through its encouragement of us all to pass away our worries and anxieties and just experience life for what it is.

song?
>>955363
Two corruptions of the Gondola meme can be seen so far that fulfill a different purpose. The first, more consistent, corruption aims to draw self-pity instead of the sublime from Gondola's situation. He is depicted as a failure, desperate for social and romantic intimacy, or is fundamentally lonely or miserable in his life. The purpose here is instead to get the viewer to empathize with Gondola or laugh at him (if the usual no-girlfriend tropes are used to depict his situation). The second corruption simply takes the character of Gondola, and places him out of context in a specific situation that complements a different genre of music, such as re-enacting a fantasy, placing him in a videogame, and so on and so forth. This interpretation usually fails as Gondola could simply be substituted for any character with the same effect; the original power of the meme is completely lost.
