| Description: | The first of hopefully many educational YTMNDs. The lofty poet Virgil guides Dante through the Nine Circles of the Inferno. I resisted the urge to modify Dante's work by adding a Tenth Circle for the internet. Purgatorio (http://purgatorio.ytmnd.com), | ||||||||||

| Anyone who downvotes this should be banished to Cocytus. | ||||||
| Interesting... | ||||||
| That was pretty damn cool | ||||||
| That was odd. How's it a comedy? o_O | ||||||
| i swear i saw you Broke my Life in that forest. favoreal | ||||||
| A comedy in the classical sense follows the protagonist's progress from a bad condition to a good one. | ||||||
| amazing. i love it. this ytmnd is in a class of its own. | ||||||
| beautiful pictures, classic literature. destined to be downvoted to hell though | ||||||
| Brilliant! Teach these kids the classics! | ||||||
| Sequel? Please? | ||||||
| Cla*ssic | ||||||
| Best poem ever | ||||||
| Classic | ||||||
| Not just classic, but classy. | ||||||
| I remember our teacher reading that book like a maniac to us, literally screaming the words | ||||||
| Dude wtf? When I come to ytmnd I come to be entertained not educated. If it's not pr0n, then it's not ytmnd.
Also cocks. |

| ^^moron | ||||||
| Well done. | ||||||
| Excellent work. I always 5 serious yet still well-made and respectful YTMNDs. That's my rule. I can see a fad out of this even..Will be seeing Paradise Lost or maybe some of Homer's works soon? Porbably not. | ||||||
| I'm glad this thing's getting such good scores. YTMND isn't just a haven for the mentally challenged, it seems. Also cocks, indeed. | ||||||
| man i watched the whole thing expecting brian peppers at the end in the 10th circle | ||||||
| "A comedy in the classical sense follows the protagonist's progress from a bad condition to a
good one." Ah, I see. | ||||||
| 5 for not being a screamer, 5 for being based on a classic work, 5 for general excellence. | ||||||
| Dude wtf? When I come to ytmnd I come to be entertained not educated. If it's not pr0n, then
it's not ytmnd. Also cocks. |

| Beautiful, Original, Flawless, and Superb. Very nicely done. Fived. You win. Good Day sir. |
+1 | |||||
| for daring to be different. | ||||||
| Wow... gorgeous artwork, plus effort this deserves a top spot | ||||||
| I'll give you an extra star for being a little more literate than most users, but literacy aside, how is this any different from running clips of Family Guy? You didn't repurpose anything or add your own twist. | ||||||
| Best YTMND ever. Divine Comedy = Instant 10/5 | ||||||
| beautiful! I love Dante´s Divine Comedy and this truly expresses it! | ||||||
| Good. Though wasn't he called Satan when he was banished from heaven and lost the right to the name Lucifer, that he had as an archangel, for having such overwhelming pride to incite a revolt. Also, Mammon. | ||||||
| ^ Dante calls him Lucifer, though Milton makes the distinction you have observed. | ||||||
| wow thats great stuff 5'd | ||||||
| i didnt laugh |
-1 | |||||
| me likey. | ||||||
| i almost expected you to have eric bauman in the 8th circle, that would have been awesome. | ||||||
| actually... satan/devil -very different from Lucifer in biblical terms... | ||||||
| Will someone please use a longer Moonlight Sonata loop? | ||||||
| Holy sh*t, this is the best thing ever. | ||||||
| Nothing's really creative here. If you had used Sandow Birk's Divine Comedy, that would have been something. | ||||||
| 5'ed for being very intriguing. The first ytmnd of its kinds, I do hope to see more of this in the future. | ||||||
| f-ing long, but I must give you a 5 for creating the first successful educational ytmnd, excluding for www.retardpsp.ytmnd. | ||||||
| Gorgeous artwork.. | ||||||
| W007. | ||||||
| ^^excuse my grammar... typo ("exculding for" should not have "for" in there) | ||||||
| Good book, but I don't come to YTMND for that. | ||||||
| I didn't see the funny, but 5'd for the beauty of the pictures, and the song which mixed marvelously with it.
Oh, and homeboy592: Die. | ||||||
| Well...it's beautiful, passionate and extremely deep. Many users of ytmnd may not appreciate it since there isn't any real "humor" but great work nonetheless. | ||||||
| Intelligent and instructional. Neat! | ||||||
| This is more a flash slideshow than a traditional ytmnd, but it has merit. | ||||||
| nicely done, i appreciate the effort. | ||||||
| I was expecting "its Jesus, LOL" at the end. 5 for not putting it there. | ||||||
| umm whats the point of this? i mean this is YTMND we're talking about not classic scholars weekly. you should have put in a tenth circle for the internet then it might have actually been funny. also, as your keywords say, dongs. | ||||||
| The 5 here is for the amazing artwork. | ||||||
| 5 for introducing something truly brand new to ytmnd. | ||||||
| |||||||
| Religous crap.. Wake up. |
-1 | |||||
| I came. You really should add a tenth one as a payoff though. | ||||||
| 5 for educational merit and doing something that is very different from what we usually see aorund here. And the fact that this is being upvoted gives me faith in humanity. | ||||||
| I watched this four times without stopping. Is this a book? What's it called? | ||||||
| Yes, and Dante's Inferno, respectively. Continued in Purgatorio and Paradiso. I'm guessing such YTMNDs will follow. | ||||||
| Very nice. | ||||||
| "Religous crap.. Wake up." What's wrong with religion? | ||||||
| Man, I was almost POSITIVE this would be a sabotage...very creative though, but the sound is far too repetive and unfitting. Still 5'd for originality. | ||||||
| You win. Also cocks. | ||||||
| Defentely a work of art. nice work putting this together monsterparty | ||||||
| funny not delivered 1/5 | ||||||
| I predict someone make a fad of this by posting SF author Larry Niven's version of the Inferno | ||||||
| I predict someone *will* make a fad of it | ||||||
| oh yeah, total fad starter, i'm betting we see purgatorio next | ||||||
| Uh, well...nice lithographs. I half expected a joke, but nice. I suggest providing links to the text for futher reading by the interested. | ||||||
| Wow, I was expecting some sort of retarded gag at the end. Way to make art on YTMND. | ||||||
| Oh, and all you f*ggotty downvoters posting crap like "HURRRR WHARS TAH PR0N" should be thankful there's no circle in hell reserved for the god damned stupid. | ||||||
| Flesh out Moonlight Sonata to the whole song and it's a 5. Otherwise, good job. | ||||||
| Nice, where did you get the pictures from? | ||||||
| I hope you're planning on doing Purgatorio and Paradisio next. | ||||||
| Purgatorio: http://purgatorio.ytmnd.com | ||||||
| nice | ||||||
| rofl dongs | ||||||
| As much as I love The Divine Comedy, you're missing the point of YTMND. There is absolutely no way you could educate the masses who come here. People come to this site to laugh, not learn. Sorry. :[ |
-1 | |||||
| This is the first YTMND I've 5'd that didn't make me laugh. It would get six stars if it could for that fact. | ||||||
| -1 for using the cheap shortcut to Moonlight Sonata. use the full piece and u get a 5. | ||||||
| Maybe you should do the crusades, or the bible next.
Love your work! | ||||||
| Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita// mi ritro vai per una selva oscurra// que la diritta era smarita. | ||||||
| ah hell, i can't 4 a site that I have a guest appearance in (third circle w/ the gluttons)...5'd. | ||||||
| @_@ Wow..... well, okay, I'll credit you for your literacy... this almost leaves me curious as to how these people turned into those of Devil May Cry. | ||||||
| Sorry but someone had to mention DMC when something involves Dante and Virgil. | ||||||
| Awesome...
But why "comedy"? I didn't laugh once. | ||||||
| lame. go read a book | ||||||
| ^ If you had paid attention, you would have seen that there is a place in hell for hypocrites. | ||||||
| I was waiting for "YTMND" to be right after Lucifer | ||||||
| Perfect. I love it. Complete and total class. | ||||||
| Bravo. | ||||||
| You have made me complete, thank you good soul. | ||||||
| People who don't get this are stupid as sh*t, and should be send straight to hell. | ||||||
| I've always f*cking hated that story... |
-1 | |||||
| ^ Don't kid yourself, you've never read a book. | ||||||
| Gustav Dore is a favorite of mine, plus, I love the Divine Comedy. The fact you made a ytmnd about it is just awesome :) I agree, we need more of these | ||||||
| one of my favorite ytmnds of all time | ||||||
| FANTASTIC! Unfortunately, there will be a new circle in hell for LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS, but I'm getting these out there before that one's finalized. OUTSTANDING! | ||||||
| Go Dante | ||||||
| Thanks again for giving me a taste of the Divine Comedy. Again, I want to read it. | ||||||
| 5 for divine comedy. Modest Proposal plzkthx. | ||||||
| Awesome | ||||||
| Very interesting. I'll admit, while I've heard plenty about the Diving Comedy, I've never actually read it myself. This is the last thing I'd expect on this site, but good job nonetheless. | ||||||
| classic literature's nice and all, but I agree with inkdrinker. all it is is some pictures to music. | ||||||
| Amazing. We need more of these types of YTMNDs. | ||||||
| You have a good idea and to be honest, I think it would be sort of good if a fad spawned from this.
Oh and Silver-Ace, this thing is referenced in tons of things including: DMC, Doom, A disney comic, Full metal Alchemist, FF IV, Castlevania (Well duh..) Heck there was even a line in Pirates of the Carribean about it... | ||||||
| That's really rad. I love this ytmnd. Seriously ^^ | ||||||
| Never have I expected an NEDM this much, nor have I been so pleased not to find one. | ||||||
| oh god. i clicked to make a comment about how rad this was a poo[mater gave me a headache with his ignorance. nevermind. 5'd | ||||||
| *pooMaster damnit | ||||||
| Wonderful. | ||||||
| They don't wear cloths in hell, do they? | ||||||
| LONG, but the illustrations were cool as hell (no pun intended). | ||||||
| I love it! Great artwork esp. | ||||||
| hmm...i gave it five stars, but its not showing up... | ||||||
| For. | ||||||
| I love this, not just because it's the Divine Comedy, but also because it makes the stupid people sad. | ||||||
| +1 for not actually having read dante's inferno. | ||||||
| punishing free thinkers ftw | ||||||
| It's a good work, even if it's steeped in a lot of the religious dogma of the day. If nothing else, it's a good symbolic growth. | ||||||
| Impressive, it really intruiged me... though YTMND is more in the random humor and fad genre, it is still a wonderful site nonetheless. | ||||||
| Good job. Downvoters are gay. | ||||||
| There's no reason for some YTMND's not to be like this. It is genuinely education - I for one have always been interested in Dante's inferno and never bothered to read it. After seeing this I think I'll make the effort. It's a real break from ridn' cocks, I mean, spinnaz. If YTMND is to successfully grow then it has t be dynamic, and it has to expand what it has to offer. Kudos, monsterparty. | ||||||
| The Baron says. . . exactly what he said^ =))) | ||||||
| I like this. | ||||||
| The ytmnd about Hell is higher rated than the one about Heaven. Gives ytmnder a bad rep. | ||||||
| get the Duke/UNC f*ggotry off my ytmnd | ||||||
| I was expecting something YTMND related at the end but instead I learned classic poetry. 5/5 | ||||||
| |||||||
| I saw the others first >_>
Still, inspiring me to read Dante...It's about time I did, anyway. At least I know some people here appreciate true art. | ||||||
| This is a beautiful ytmnd we have here. I just love that I see something that a rehash of a 4chan gif, or something half-ass'd that someone decided to through sh*t together. I applaud you. | ||||||
| i was half hoping/expecting we would see an NEDM at the end, lol | ||||||
| YAY for Dante, excellent sir *bows* | ||||||
| Cool, but if I wanted to learn about Dante's Inferno I would have read it. Keep YTMND for stupid fads that make me chuckle, keep the education out, but that's just my 2 cents. Good job on it though. | ||||||
| needs more doom music | ||||||
| If I downvote this, that makes me stoopid. | ||||||
| Ah, Hell! I'll be there! ^.~ | ||||||
| f*ck you | ||||||
| Why does Lucifer not have three heads in the depiction? In any case thanks for putting dongs in the keywords or else I wouldn't have found this. | ||||||
| Very nice, but the music sample should be longer than just 20 seconds. Why not play the whole song? Or the first minute and a half - there's a nice spot for splicing around 1:22. | ||||||
| That was a great compilation. Dante's Hell has always caught my interest. | ||||||
| When will the other 2 slideshows come out? | ||||||
| classic comedy is always funny! | ||||||
| There are a shockingly large number of smart people making comments on this site. I'm suitably impressed! :-) | ||||||
| dante ftw! needs more devil may cry and the ninth circle to be nedm! | ||||||
| This is great, makes me want to read | ||||||
| thats awesome | ||||||
| i have that book. those woodcuts are amazing. | ||||||
| Fantastic.
I love the Moonlight Sonata, too. | ||||||
| ^_^ | ||||||
| heh, sexymofo would have to be the 'fairy-man' if there ever was a remake. | ||||||
| i advise that you check out yourethemannowdog.com and revise this accordingly then reupload it
i like it - but it doesnt belong here | ||||||
| So what, exactly, did you add to this equation? Putting Dore's artwork to music? I fail to see any inguenity, creativity, or substance for that matter. Either I'm missing something entirely, or the lot of upvoters here and simply 5'ing this in order to make themselves feel part of something special and intelligent. | ||||||
| *ingenuity | ||||||
| 5'd for literature! -1 for no joke. | ||||||
| 2 circles of fifth. booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | ||||||
| Awesomeeeeeeeee. | ||||||
| I'm with evilregal. | ||||||
| crafty | ||||||
| +5 because I love the Divine Comedy, but -2 for being easy to do and not being kind of dull. | ||||||
| Very Nice dude. And excellent pictures | ||||||
| Naked guys, lol! | ||||||
| ;D | ||||||
| Gorgeous. f'n 5. | ||||||
| Forgot to vote. Also c*cks. | ||||||
| gay | ||||||
| I have no idea wtf that was but 5'd for the pretty pictures. | ||||||
| Oh yay, I'm in the seventh circle. This is just stupid. There's nothing original here, its just a synopsis put to someone else's pictures and someone else's music. Perhaps if you had many different sources of art it would be better, but as it is, this is just a lazy piece of sh*t. | ||||||
| 5 for making classic | ||||||
| wow.....liturature, interesting, I'm not sure if it fits as a ytmnd, but I liked it at least, and it was interesting, good job! | ||||||
| LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!1!!!11! | ||||||
| Deep. Very hard piece to read. 5star. | ||||||
| I love you | ||||||
| Magnificent! Also a rarity given its serious tone. | ||||||
| Very nice. As a fan of the classic book, I am delighted to see this. The Sonata score fits perfectly, conveying the tone of the whole thing. (sorry for my poor English). | ||||||
