Look, I get it. It’s Friday afternoon. You want to be entertained, but nothing too mentally taxing. Well, I’ve got just the video. It’s a 30-second animation about a British gentleman with a tiny chainsaw. Actually, 30 seconds is a bit misleading. I mean, that’s how long the video is, but I was laughing for way longer. If you don’t like this, we probably can’t be friends.
I don’t ask much of you guys, because what am I, your girlfriend? But I’m telling you, you want to watch this video. It’s Logorama, the Oscar-winning animated short, in its entirety. Directed by François Alaux, Herve de Crecy, and Ludovic Houplain, imagine a modern film noir set in a strange land where everything is a corporate logo. My only criticism, I don’t remember The Noid ever showing up. Remember the Noid? I’d love to see The Noid and Chester Cheetah sharing a squalid apartment like a couple of burned out tweekers.
NOID: Hey Chester. You think that lady’s baby’s okay?
CHESTER: Whaddya mean? What baby?
NOID: I mean… you didn’t have to push the stroller in front of the bus like that.
CHESTER: Hey, Dummy: I pushed da stroller inta da street ta distract her so you could snatch ‘er purse, remember. Now lemme axe ya somethin: Did we eat today?
NOID: Yeah.
CHESTER: What’s dat? Couldja speak up, I din’t quite hear ya.
NOID: I said yeah!
CHESTER: Dat’s what I tought. Now stop axing so many stupid questions, yer gettin on my last noive.
