He is someone who likes just sitting in his bedroom and so do I._

I was 8 when I saw the video for the first time. This was the beginning of Russian MTV and we already had "Smack My Bitch Up" and "No Good" by The Prodigy uncensored. But those kids with Aphex Twin's masks scared me so much, I didn't sleep for maybe a week. It wasn't Keith Flint's mad dance and face, it was something really frightening. Of course, now I am older and I understad that this video was a real piece of art, but I still can't forget those nights... Chris Cunningham made me loose my sleep, he's a true artist.

@some guy: Exactly, that is his intention!
This is probably one of the best music videos EVER. It`s not only brilliantly shot (gee, what excellent pictures - actually, the location is the same in which "Clockwork Orange" was shot), it`s just mindblowing how consequently it is done. "Come to daddy" by Aphex Twin was more a less an attempt to parody the fat horror/macho attitude of techno acts like Prodigy, but director Chris Cunningham transformed this into a weird and hilarious comedy comment on the bad influence of rock stars, TV and techno on children. VERY radical comedy, of course, gory and all, and that`s why it`s still a masterpiece. Ten thumbs up!

When i was 12 this video scared the shit out of me. But after seeing it a few times it becomes quite funny and loses it's impact. The last time i saw it i laughed my ass off. But i think this was the director's intention.
