Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf

It isn't something everyone will find funny. People have different tastes in humor.

Rob Cantor really seems to be someone who goes for absurdity as the means for humor. The other music video of his I have seen is The Randezvous adds absurdity by making the love interest an old lady that seems more hardcore about partying than the young guy.

Not for everyone, but some have laughed, and that is enough.

it's not supposed to be funny, it's just shia throwing his money at ridiculous modern art to express his depression. i won't be surprised if he ends up killing himself soon.

The song wasn't pushed by Shia, and it does seem that the intent was humor.

"MTV News: How did you originally come up with the idea for the song?
Cantor: The inspiration came from my friend Andrew Laurich. One day, for no reason at all, he started dramatically whispering the words “Shia LaBeouf!” It was hilarious. The whole cannibal-prowling-the-woods thing grew out of the dramatic whisper. I recorded a demo of the song and posted it on my SoundCloud. Much to my delight, it caught fire. A guy named Coz Baldwin tweeted about it, and that started the viral ball rolling. That was back in 2012."

"MTV: How did you come up with the concept for the video?
Cantor: The idea of such an absurd song in a very serious setting just seemed funny to me. Passionate choristers, interpretive dance, string quartet bowing away — all taking itself very seriously. And then the song is about Shia LaBeouf being a cannibal. I found out recently that’s called bathos — serious and absurd juxtaposed. I like bathos!"

as for OPs video, at least it's original,surreal and well-produced. I enjoyed it and had a few amused "wtfs" even if i wasn't laughing as hard as i would be watching it's always sunny.

Insufferable. I hope him and James Franco get drunk and go skiing a lot.
