Found this on another site - thought it was amusing enough to share with y’all.
That was very cute. There’s a lot going on in some places.
That’s awesome!
There’s a sequel as well.
That is a good one.
Reminds me of my experiences as a Flash beginner. The program can do so much that it really does seem to fight the newbie, tossing him from feature to feature and constantly knocking him down.
There’s even a little moral in that => [ Don’t Save ] at the end. Only with a lot of waste motion and lost effort do we ever get really good at anything.
Nice to see an actual Flash version of it, rather than the scaled-down YouTube video. I could see a lot more detail. Anyone got a link to the Flash version of the sequel?
I found the sequel on deviant art. It isn’t fullscreen but the quality is better.
Yes! The details are clear!
I am shocked - SHOCKED! - that such a talented graphic artist uses Windows XP 
You just don’t see that every day…hehe
This one definitely qualifies as ‘when animation goes wrong’, but for very different reasons.
WARNING: It’s only a cartoon, but some people may find it disturbing as it (literally)graphically depicts extreme violence and bloodshed.

Can’t watch videos at work.
But now I can find this thread when I get home.

The comic timing on what the banana says is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

The only problem is that the title is wrong–it was not a “Best Oscar Award Winner”. It was definitely nominated for an Academy Award for animated short, but it didn’t win.
However, this did win the Animated Short Oscar a few years earlier (and fits the OP in the creator vs. creation genre).
I wonder if he really submitted those commercials. To me the funniest thing was trying to imagine the reaction in the board room as they watched them.

I honestly wouldn’t put it past him, but he didn’t. Don Hertzfeldt is…very rabidly against commercials. Odd man, but does some fascinating stuff.
“I’m feeling fat and sassy!”
I am always tempted to say this when people ask me how I am.
