Get Surrealism on Sesame Street



Watch more cool animation and creative cartoons at Aniboom

Some friends of ours made this surreal cartoon (yes, we do have friends- we met them on a Yahoo Message Board). They used an animation process that involved making figures out of clay, photographing them, and then painting and detailing them in Photoshop... They're currently competing for a spot on Sesame Street, which we really support since getting surrealism on Sesame Street will help indoctrinate the young and... um, I've said too much already. Anyway, watch it- then if you like it vote for it and send it to your friends.

Also, I'll get to back to blogging regularly at some point in the near future, but until then- hey! Look at that!

Surreal Medical Instructions

I have bronchitis, which sucks, but it will all be worth it if our readers share the same appreciation for these completely insane instructions I just got for this new inhaler. There has been a lot of digital ink spilled about Engrish instructions, so I won't go into that. But illustrated, language-independent instructions are catching on, and there are some basic insanities sewn into the fabric of those, too.

I got a medicated inhaler, which I guess is what asthmatic people have, but I'm supposed to spray it into this bottle and then breathe from the bottle. These are the instructions I received for the contraption, and my interpretation for each of the illustrated steps.

surreal instructions inhaler looming catastrophe
Step 1: Remove caps from bottle and inhaler.
Step 2: Insert bottle into eyeball.
Step 3: Attempt to detonate bottle. (I have no idea, though. This one's a mystery).
Step 4: Breathe from bottle. Do not listen to music.

Ok, I feel like ass, so it won't REALLY all be worth it if you guys appreciate this health care industry Surrealism, but we've got this blog, and I can't keep putting angry beavers on it.

Vince out.
