I watched it and it honestly is pretty cool, kinda catchy and funny and reminiscent of some steam orange box edit from 15 years ago

The youtube comments are full of ~20 year olds complaining about it though (probably mostly ironically but still)

      I still like the flash animation "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING", even though I absolutely know that if I first see it today, I'd be averse and annoyed at hearing the line.

      Isn't that from the weird art-film about an animator whose life slowly crumbles around him as he fails to land new gigs? I think it's still pretty good. asdf movie however... I will not rewatch that

        its a short by Don Hertzefeldt (hope i spelled it right), who also made the excellent animation 'it's such a beautiful day', which is one of my all time favorite movies. also made the animation 'world of tomorrow' which is probably some of the best speculative sci-fi i've seen.

        minor bit of pedantry, despite the simplistic stick figure art style its distinctly NOT flash animation, he does everything analogue (paper and an old school photograph machine) which allows for some wild visual techniques and mixed-media stuff.

          Don Hertzfeldt is awesome, he's gotten many offers to do actual commercials but turned every one of them down, which was his inspiration for Rejected

          but then Pop Tarts did a whole ad campaign where they just blatantly ripped off his style

          Yeah I remember the crumbling paper being very impressive. It was really cool.

      I honestly think kids got some better stuff these days than what I grew up on. Not across the board, but where was Phoebe Bridgers and her music when I was in middle school? She was probably a zygote and I suffered for that.
