Funny

At some point during my undergraduate career a friend of mine, I think it was Fuzzy Mike, presented me with the Rejected Cartoons by Don Hertzfeldt. Aside from making oversized spoons a hilarious non sequitur, it also led me to the rest of these cartoons and an Animation Show in downtown Durham, NC.

Fast forward a few years. Seven years. Um. Ignoring how many years it has been, we arrive at the present. It seems almost no one in the world of medicine is familiar with these cartoons. I spread word of their existence back in my first years of medical school to mixed reviews, sowing the seeds of nerd-couture is nothing new to me, and now I feel that time has come again. I need to do share the joy once again for all the people I've met since. So, a compiled set of links for all the Don Hertzfeldt 'toons YouTube has to offer (that I know about).

Oh, and for the record they're really, really weird. Honestly, did you expect anything less?

The rest of the videos in the full post. Et voila you consumer whores. (And How!)

The two below I hadn't seen before. They're not my favorite to be honest, but I include them for the sake of completion.

So the first time I saw this video it was followed by some crazy man-fish wearing a tutu. I'm not making that up. But regardless of how disturbed I was after the man-fish, this video continues to crack me up.

I have very high hopes for the Wolverine movie. I had very high hopes, which were surpassed, for Watchmen. I think if you disagree you should be forced to rewatch the OLD superhero movies that the rest of us grew up watching and loving. Or, for a crash course, just check out the Japanese Spiderman movies here. That'll learn you. And yes, that is Spidey with a machine gun.

This video wins extra-special props for being made by a friend of mine from college! Thanks Rob for the vid, and remember to always smile - it's expected of the greeters.
