17 Mindblowing Things We Saw In the TomorrowWorld Aftermovie

Boobs, blinking heads, avatar characters... and bookstores? Even Guetta was overwhelmed at this historical festival of lights and sound and giant talking books.

Earlier today, TomorrowWorld released the aftermovie of their first event in the United States—in Atlanta's Chattahoochee Hills—and suffice it to say that ish was cray. We watched it and it gave us PTSD. That is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, my dude. After fighting back the urge to shuffle in front of the whole office for 16 whole minutes (and getting very dehydrated, we recovered from this pee-pee-in-yo-teepee spectacle and decided to pick out 17 highlights for you. Even if you weren't there traipsing back and forth over the Georgian countryside like some crazy rage warrior, this video will sweep you up in the action. Sweep up your tickets (and your tent) for next year, happening September 26-28, now.

BOOB-SHAPED BALLOON

For a brief, glorious moment you can watch the crowd bat around a giant balloon shaped like a boob like that crazy scene from Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (*But Were Afraid to Ask). If you can't touch an actual real nipple this is the next best thing.

ANCIENT BROTEM POLE OF CHATTAHOOCHEE

What, you thought the brotem pole was a new invention? No, my young broham, even in ancient times, bros stood upon one another to rage fully, as shown in this traditional carving.

SPIDERMAN AND HIS FRIENDS WERE THERE

Aw naw, hell nawwww!!! They had big-assed spiders at this party. Like, real spiders. Who says raves aren't dangerous any more?

TODAY IN RAVE NEWS…

They had newspapers? How many free drinks do you think they had to lure these girls with to get them to pretend they were reading instead of twerking for Diplo?

TOMORROWWORLD WAS AN OLD-FASHIONED GOOD TIME

Wait, more reading? In case you needed to relax or replenish your brain cells, there was also a bookstore. Except it was filled with fake Wikipedias. Wait, they're called encyclopedias? Nah, son! Turn down for what, we sayeth. Behind that bookstore is a post office, so even after you dropped your cell phone in a Port-a-Potty, you could still tell mom and dad you were okay the old-fashioned way: by sending them a missive from Rageville, U.S.A. Cute!

THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE… AND GIRLS

TomorrowWorld was a good place to make friends and meet people and girls, who look like people except different. (See boob balloon above.)

TOMORROWWORLD IS A PEACEFUL PLACE

It looks like an ad for college or a summer camp in Maine. They are probably going to steal this to use in an Army recruiting video. Shout out to all the ratchet kids with no teeth that didn't make it into this video—love y'all.

AVATAR!

This thing is actually being controlled by a raver chilling in his tent.

LET THEM EAT CAKE

Partying is obviously an extreme sport, as you can see in this breathtaking shot of a girl getting an orgasmic Dim Mak cake to the face from Steve Aoki who, at this point, probably has the best aim in the business. Honestly there's something poignant about watching a few pounds of yellow cake explode in slo-mo on this willing victim. Try to explain this one to your mom.

LAIDBACK LUKE DJED AS THE GREEN HORNET… MAYBE?

Or was it the Bionic Grasshopper? We actually can't tell what superhero he was, but he certainly has Save the World status.

HISTORY IS FUN AS HELL

Whatever you do, don't stare directly into the blinking eye! No this isn't a butthole metaphor—there was literally a gigantic book there with a face in it whose eyes blinked. It was enough to make you pee your pants. Every history class should look like this.

BLACK PEOPLE GO TO RAVES IN THE US

Compared to a lot of these wrap up videos we've seen—which are mostly all pasty white Northern Europeans with cartoon eyes—there are actually plenty of people of different races in this aftermovie. Also, anyone think this guy is B.O.B's identical twin? Wait, maybe it is B.O.B.! We heard Pill was there waving glowsticks around too.

BOOBS!

What better way to celebrate our country than getting out your sweet lady guavas? America! Fuck yeah!

ALESSO… LIKES BOOBS

Or maybe he just farted.

DO YOGA WITH THE "NATIVES"

If you ever wanted to do yoga with half the cast of the Village People and an elf, you could do that at TomorrowWorld. Casting the cultural significance of being a bro wearing a Native American headdress on the site of where many Cherokees were forcibly removed from their lands, of course. Namaste!

THEY DONE SHOCKED GUETTA!

Even Guetta—who played at the first TomorrowLand ever—thinks this is whole spectacle is crazy. And we have to agree!

PLUS A WHOLE LOTTA JESUS POSES
