WTF!

I'm sure glad I watched this just before going to bed.

I never liked beetles anyways...

Can this thing load any slower? Looks interesting, can't wait, maybe sometime tomorrow I'll find out what it is.

Neat-o!!

It was worth the wait. That was disturbing.

Spooky.

Has anyone seen/read Naked Lunch? I bet the creator has.

Could've done without the assfucking.

eh, not as creepy as his other stuff, particularly saladfingers. Still good though. I could have done without the vaginal cream.

The sexual stuff weakened the rest of it, if you ask me. Which you didn't.

Like an animated Grit Bath. Thanks!

ColdChef: yeah, it pulls from 'creepy dystopian vision' to 'gross-out'. The former requires intelligence and art; the latter is adolescent.

I liked it though! I could totally sit through more of that, like an hour-long thing… but it seems that there was no redemption to be had, no strike against the oppressors musterable, so maybe there's not much point in lengthening it out.

Some English artists always have to ruin perfectly good things with unnecessary raunch. This was insanely good ... but then they had to go and ruin it with the ass-fuckings and the "gash" part. Really, the cartoon was good enough without that stuff. It was like dystopian future-retro Edward Gorey.

Profanity and what not doesn't offend me, but that boyish need to shock among fans of Aphex Twin and the whole Saatchi Gallery crowd is tiresome.

What a shame.

Yes - we're all certainly very grown up here on Metafilter, Mr Occupation-Listed-As-Turd-Producer....

I thought it was great and, since I'm lying here in bed with a cold, am certainly seeing my mucus in a different light; I wonder if it does have a certain degree of intelligence....

I've been enjoying Ptikobj for quite some time now.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but Firth's animations always feel as though they were ripped out of my dreams; particularly SBTB and Ptikobj. Though I do agree that the sexual bits in this one sort of ruined the rest of it.

i don't know about the rest of you, but me and my roommate just clicked on this after a night out on the bender and laughed our asses off the whole way through.... but we're drunk and all ......

oh... kay... One more thing to add to my list of "the worst that can happen" - being butt fucked by beetles.

and after growing up watching looney tunes and later realizing that all cartoonists get thier inspiration from drugs i'm wondering just what the fuck these guys were doing when they came up with this shit.... good lord man.....

Salad Fingers is probably one of the best animated series on the internets. I haven't gotten into Firth's other stuff, though.

Buggery. Get it?

Depressing AND pointless.

That was very cool. Dark, twisted and something I'd see Gillian doing as a film.

All right, who do I see to get that five minutes of my life back?

Thank you - I loved it.

Having now watched a couple of dozen things on this site, I can say definitively that this guy has issues.
Pointless murder and ass-fuckings (usually in that order) are a frequent theme. Enough so that a perfectly good sinister cartoon can generally be counted upon to become predictable through the addition of these elements.
As mentioned above, Ptikobj (which doesn't have or need them) is wonderful. Shit, I'm trapped in your guitar, like!
