Chococat, I'm sure if you typed "roped-up-testicles, pole-up-the-ass rigs and devices" into Google, you would get some interesting results. posted by Admiral Haddock at 2:18 PM on April 1, 2007
Those dogs look So Happy. Interesting cultural artifact. Thanks!

Stooges fans will note that this short was directed by the legendary Jules White. Mr. White directed a few fine silent comedies in the 1920s. But in the 1950s, he had descended to doing Three Stooges shorts -- most notably, the shockingly nihilistic "noir" series of Shemps. (If I'm not mistaken, the "Hold Hands You Lovebirds" Shemp excerpted in Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" was directed by Jules White.) In any case, Jules White was way ahead of Tarantino in the field of sensless, Beckettian violence in the service of mordant, autistic humor. Hell, look at this dog pic. Seesh! posted by Faze at 4:54 PM on April 1, 2007
I bet you could never make a film like that with cats. Not with ropes and poles anyway. Maybe duct tape and valium.... posted by haikuku at 6:02 PM on April 1, 2007

I came across this same type of film a few months ago, but is was some kind of crime drama. Very strange. Obviously took some effort to shot, but the over all effect seems just perverse. posted by nola at 8:58 PM on April 1, 2007

I was waiting for someone to do that, what took you so long?
