Deleted Gorillaz G-Bites

Around 2001 - 2006 during the Gorillaz popularity, a few shorts based on the Gorillaz called G-Bites were made. The shorts usually involved the band doing weird stuff like killing an eel (Yes, there is a short about that) and others.

I enjoy these because I myself am a fan of Gorillaz. However, I almost lost my interest in Gorillaz because of something disturbing I've encountered.

It was a Friday and I was on my way home from job school. I was on my phone watching the Horseland episode "You Can't Judge A Girl By Her Limo" when all of a sudden I noticed that my stop was coming.

When I got off the bus, I spotted a package close to the front door. I took a good look at it and I saw that it was for me. I brought it inside and went to my room. Thankfully, my little brother was picked up by my mom so this eventually gave me the privacy I needed.

Anyways, I opened the package and saw that it was a Gorillaz DVD. The cover consisted of the 4 main members 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel in a light blue background. The DVD was titled as "Gorillaz: Every Single G-Bite".

On the top right was a red circle that said, "Includes 5 Never Before Seen G-Bites!"

Looking at this DVD, I suddenly remembered the time Rohan Hordern came across those deleted Toy Story treats and deleted Toy Story 2 interstitials. But since curiousity got the best of me, I decided to watch this DVD anyway.

The DVD first started with an FBI warning screen and then it took me to the menu. It depicted of the same 4 members standing in the lobby of Kong Studios. The options included "Play All", "Short Selection" and "Special Features".

I selected "Play All" and watched through every single G Bite starting with “Hey! Our Toys Have Arrived” and finishing with "Talent Quest".

Both of them were good, but then I got to the 5 shorts and let me tell you, it disturbed me dearly.

A warning came up before the first never before seen short started.

"The following 5 G-Bites you are about to see were considered too dark to be shown on the internet and aired on TV. These shorts contain blood/gore and murder. It is to not be viewed by anyone with mental issues. Watch these at your own risk!"

"Alright, time for some messed up crap!" I muttered.

The first G-Bite was titled "Disaster In The Trailer". It started with Murdoc taking a nap in the trailer from the music video DARE. Suddenly, he woke up to a loud noise out of nowhere.

He got out of bed and put some pants on. Murdoc then stepped outside of the trailer while saying, "Is anyone out there? You deliberately scared me!"

Just then, a shadowy figure started entering Murdoc's trailer and this caught his attention. "Who's in here? Come out with your hands up!"

The shadow then pulled off the robe and it was revealed to be 2-D who had entered. But he looked rather messed up. His skin was gray instead of white and he had a few scars on his face.

"2-D, you scared the crap out of me. Get out of here!" Murdoc yelled.

But then he noticed that 2-D looked very much different. "What the hell did you do to yourself man? You look like you had a bloodbath and the blood is sticking to your body!" Murdoc said.

"I'm surprised you knew about this Murdie! You know what grinds my gears? You and the other members have been torturing me like a butt monkey. And now, I feel like something should be done about it!" 2-D proclaimed.

He took out a chainsaw and Murdoc got scared. "No! No! Please don't kill me man! We can work something out!" Murdoc shouted in a scared tone.

"It's too late Murdoc, you should've done something about it earlier!" 2-D said.

Murdoc shouted "No!" multiple times as 2-D started up the chainsaw. It cut to the outside of the trailer where the chainsaw can be heard killing Murdoc as he let out a blood curdling scream and blood started splattering onto the windows.

2-D then stepped out of the trailer and said, "He was an idiot. But at least he's gone now."

It cut to black for about 2 seconds before showing the outro with the claymation gorilla. After that, the next short started. The 2nd G-Bite was titled "Noodle's Psycho".

I was confused for about a second or so until I realized that this was supposed to be a parody of Psycho. It began with Noodle (In her phase 2 form) taking a shower while singing a japanese version of DARE.

Suddenly, from the shadows, I could see 2-D walking in. The camera started zooming into the shower curtain just like in the movie Psycho. As soon as 2-D got close, he opened the curtain.

I was expecting the murder theme to be played during this scene, but unfortunately no music played. Noodle would recognize this and begin screaming. 2-D then stabbed Noodle multiple times as blood splattered almost everywhere like in the last G-Bite.

Soon after, Noodle was officially dead. It showed the outro again but with a big change. The gorilla didn't have it's usual red eyes, instead it had no eyes at all. It was just pitch black, but nonetheless, it still did it's usual gorilla sounds.

The third G-Bite played and it was titled "On The Tracks". It started with a pitch black screen for about 2 seconds before it was revealed to be a POV of someone waking up. A voice spoke, "Where the hell am I?"

I then realized that it was Russel who was on the train tracks. Russel noticed that he was tied up to a rope. "Hello? Is anyone out there?" Russel shouted.

Out of nowhere, a train horn could be heard in the distance. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Russel shouted once more.

He looked to the left and saw an old fashioned train from afar. Russel screamed in a loud blood curdling tone, only he wasn't screaming in the cartoon. and not to be cliche or anything, but it sounded like his actor Remi Kabaka Jr was screaming while being tortured.

Not long after, the train finally ran over Russel as blood and guts once again splattered everywhere. I felt the urge to vomit so I paused the DVD and went to the bathroom.

I came back shortly after and unpaused the DVD. It showed the gorilla again, only this time it's head was missing. Was 2-D behind all of this? Who cares?

The 4th G-Bite began and it was titled "Del On Windmill Island". This G-Bite began with a shot of the island itself at night. Suddenly, Del The Ghost Rapper appeared, but he wasn't animated in phase 2, but instead in his phase 1 form, likely cause they never made a phase 2 version of Del.

"Sheesh, it's kinda cold out here. Why did I even come out here with short sleeves on?" Del said.

Del walked until he stepped on something. It was a slice of pizza.

"Oh boy, I'm hungry." Del said once more.

He ate the slice of pizza (Which was confusing because he was a ghost in this scene) and noticed a whole path of more pizza. Del followed it while eating at the same time. The path stopped at the entrance to the windmill.

He then opened the door and noticed it was pretty dark inside. Del walked around for about 5 seconds before the door suddenly closed by itself.

"Oh god, I don't like this!" Del said.

Suddenly, a light switched on and it was revealed to be 2-D who turned on the lights. 2-D chuckled and said, "You enjoyed all that pizza didn't you? Well now, it's time to send your ass to the afterlife!"

He then pulled out a vacuum and this made Del scared to the point he tried to run. 2-D turned on the vacuum and began sucking Del up. I could hear Del screaming as he did this.

The G-Bite ended with the outro, except, the gorilla was nowhere in this scene. There was only just the logo of the band.

And then I got to the final G-Bite. It was titled "Standing Here". This short was way too similar to the ending scene of the deleted Toy Story treats that Rohan Hordern encountered.

The last short started with 2-D (In his phase 1 form) standing in a realistic school hallway at night. 2-D was no longer in his evil form, he was completely normal. During this scene, a music box of Feel Good Inc played in the background.

2-D didn't say anything in this scene. But after about 20 seconds, he walked away from the shot.

The screen faded to black and unfortunately there was no outro with the claymation gorilla, but something else happened instead.

After 10 seconds, it cut to a picture of Murdoc chuckling from the Gorillaz music video "Clint Eastwood". Except his eyes were black with purple dots and he had blood drooling from his mouth.

It was accompanied by both the howie scream and a loud blood curdling scream of a little girl. The image along with those screams scared the living shit out of me and I fell back in shock.

As soon as the jumpscare ended, it took me back to the menu. I was in complete fear after seeing what I had just watched. I decided to look at the special features and they included the music videos for 19-2000, Clint Eastwood, Tomorrow Comes Today, Feel Good Inc, DARE, Dirty Harry and On Melancholy Hill.

They were surprisingly my favorite Gorillaz songs. I sat through every music video to get my mind off those disturbing G-Bites and I sang along.

But later that night, I was having a nightmare about me getting killed by 2-D in the same trailer Murdoc was in. I woke up at around 3:00 AM and used my phone watching old episodes of Thomas & Friends from Series 1, 2 and 3.

I'll always be a fan of Gorillaz cause they are my favorite band. It's best to stay away from rare DVD's you've never seen.
