# Stop-Motion Avian Advice 'When Angry Birds Get Therapy' is Full of High-Flying Hilarity By Marie | Published 2011-10-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angry-birds-get-therapy References: [thehairpin](http://thehairpin.com/2011/09/when-angry-birds-get-therapy) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/28782721) I know I'm not alone in saying that I've definitely spent more time than I'm proud of playing the addictive Angry Birds app, but in all that time I never once thought about the motivations behind the title for the game -- which is exactly what prompted the 'When Angry Birds Get Therapy' video. Created by Jim Behrie for The Hairpin, the hilarious clip uses [stop-motion animation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-very-ai-yule-log) to reveal the secrets of the so-called angry avians. Set to the 1982 slow jam 'All This Love' by El DeBarge, the video shows a [therapy session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confettitherapycom) where an Angry Birds character opens up and explains why he is so angry with the pigs and how it relates to his feelings of abandonment as a child. The tongue-in-cheek (or beak) comedy of the video, along with the soundtrack, makes 'When Angry Birds Get Therapy' my favorite tribute to the [popular gaming app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flappy-buddy) that I've seen so far. But now that I've heard from the birds, I'd love to hear what the pigs have to say! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stop-motion Animation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore using stop-motion animation in advertising campaigns to create engaging and humorous content. - **Video Tributes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create video tributes for popular apps or games to generate buzz and engage with a wider audience. - **Humorous Content:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop comedic content that parodies popular trends or products to attract attention and build brand awareness. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate stop-motion animation techniques in advertising campaigns to create unique and captivating visual content. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Produce video tributes for popular gaming apps to entertain and engage with the gaming community. - **Content Creation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop humorous content for online platforms and social media to increase audience engagement and brand reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Game-Themed Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iswii-angry-birds.md) - [Creative Frustration Outlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punch-your-client.md) - [Remastered Classic Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rovio-classics.md) - [Digital Focus Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-focus-friend.md) - [Carrier Pigeon Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-pigeon.md) - [Stress-Alleviating Desktop Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anger-management-toy.md) - [Emotion-Driven Cider Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angry-orchards-latest-campaign.md) - [Gamified Stress Reduction Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mental-health-gaming-app.md) - [Mobile Gamified Wellness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urso.md)
