Paul and Carl are roommates. There's just one problem: Carl is a "dangerous psychopath with a history of violence." Also, they are llamas. Llamas with Hats. [This tastelessly funny series of animated shorts is probably NSFW.]
In other words, Carl is every llama I've ever come across.

That's what forgiveness sounds like: screaming, and then silence.

"What is wrong with you, Carl?"
"Well, I kill people and eat hands, so that's two things."

As someone who has llamas, this always bugs me. Most people encounter llamas in zoos or petting zoos, and llamas are hierarchical animals. If you feed them, you are subservient to them in their minds. Ergo, if you are doing things they don't like -- such as not feeding them -- they will likely spit at you.
I have had 2 wonderful llamas since 2008, and have never been spat at. They jostle with each other, and they spit at each other, but never at me. I don't hand feed them, and I never let them think they are dominating me.

Anyway, the cartoon is weird and somewhat funny. Thanks for sharing.

When I woke today I certainly didn't think I'd be reading a rant in defense of llamas. I feel better for it.

I came for the dark humor, and stayed for the llama drama.
(That was great , Room 641-A! Many thanks for the share - "Caaaaaaaaaaarrrrrlllllll" is now firmly in my lexicon. I pity everyone in my life, from this moment on... )

Substantially less funny and interesting once real Paul leaves and they lose that rapport. Demonic hallucination/mask Carl probably sounded funnier in theory.

Their entire YouTube channel is pretty funny, twisted, and dark. I particularly like Detective Mittens and the monster ruining the guy's eggs.

Hey, this is the same guy that did Charlie the Unicorn. Here's an AMA he did last year.

I don't want to say out loud that I almost named my first-born child "Caaaaaaarl" because these videos cracked me up during the third trimester... so I'll type it instead.

My teenage daughter turned me on to these (and Charlie the Unicorn). We laugh like idiots. She occasionally breaks out into the millipede song for no reason.
