Tidbits for Shits and Giggles: Let Me Hear Your War Cry (Animation)

This Wonderful Little Bit of Absurd Insanity is a Doctored Clip from the the 1987 Vietnam War Movie Blockbuster Full Metal Jacket where the Actor’s Faces have been Replaced with Japanese Mannequin Faces. The Audio of Distorted Screams that Steadily Increase in Pitch is Equally Absurd and Equally Insane. Unfortunately Though there isn’t any Information Available about the Creator of this Audacious Art, and Thus We Can’t give Them the Credit They Damn Well Deserve.

Enjoy.

Earth & Moon (Claymation/Animation)

The Following Claymation/Animation Hybrid  Earth & Moon is by Cool 3D World and Who Exactly are They You may be Wondering. Well when Brian and popcorn10 (as Their Youtube Handles Title them) were introduced via Mutual Friends, They realized They shared an Interest in Exploring “Visual Art Inspired by Electronic Music” and so Cool 3D World was Born- as a Place where the Duo can Create “Art, Music, and More! All in 3D.”

“Being Pretty”| Dystopian Animated Short Films Series

FYB is Thrilled to bring You the 2017 Animated Short Film “Being Pretty” that was Created by David James Armsby and takes place in the Fictional Town of Autodale. “Being Pretty” is the First Short Film in Armsby’s Autodale Series, and You better believe We will be Posting the ENTIRE Series Periodically in the Near Future.

Plot Summary: The Film Starts with an Average Nuclear Autodale Family (Mother, Father, Daughter, and Son) in Their Home where the Children are watching a Public Service Announcement on TV. The PSA has been created by the Mysterious Powers That Be Who Run Autodale and Dictate Daily Life to its Citizens. Autodale is a Picture Perfect Place to Live where the Residents Champion Beauty to the Point of Obsession and Persecution of Those Who Fail to Fit the Autodale Mold.

               

The PSA Starts stating “Hello, Citizens of Autodale! You are Pretty. Your Neighbors, Friends, and Family are also Pretty. But Sadly, Not Everyone is Pretty. Some are Ugly…We, here at Autodale, Do Not want Uglies.” Thusly Anyone Deemed Ugly which constitutes more than Physical Appearance as in Autodale Ugly appears to Include Anyone Considered Undesirable or Defective (examples Ugly, Fat, Old, Deaf, Blind, Gay Etc.)

Armsby had the Following to Say About Being Pretty:

“This animation was extremely fun to work on. I definitely enjoy doing my own original stuff over Overwatch/Rick and Morty Stuff. I hope that this (Like Redone) does well so I can continue doing original animations. It’s so much more fun to explore my own personal creativity. Building this world from the ground up was awesome and I’m quite proud of the final results. This Short explores themes of individualism, innocence, and brainwashing which were very fun to play with; something I don’t think I could do with the restrictive nature of a fan-film. Really hope yo guys enjoy it!”

Enjoy.

Sci Fi Horror Stop Motion Web Series :Operator Ep. 2

We are Thrilled to Present OPERATOR Episode 2 By The Insanely Talented Animator Sam Barnett. We posted the Original Stop Motion OPERATOR a while back and were Excited to Learn Mr. Barnett was turning it Into a Web Series (in Fact Operator Episode 3 is Currently in Production with a TBA Release Date).

When Asked about the Operator Series Barnett was Quoted as Saying the Following.

“I released Operator as a standalone short in 2013 and got much more recognition than I ever anticipated. I got inspired to make more and spent the next two years (between working other jobs) writing 14 new episodes. I got interest from a major studio to make it as a feature but it didn’t pan out. I considered working with a smaller horror production company that wanted to make it as a webseries but it wasn’t as good fit. After two years developing the series I decided to stop waiting for permission from studios and launched a successful kickstarter campaign to make Episode 2 wich We released in 2017.”

Note To Reader: First Off We highly Suggest You watch the Original Episode of Operator before watching Episode 2 since Episode 2 starts where Episode 1 Ends.

Brief Recap: The Story Follows A Blue Collar Worker Who Works Tirelessly for a Giant Faceless Corporation. He Labors away Day in and Day Out Confined to a Small Cramped Room doing Menial Tasks for His Entire Shift. One Day at Work an Unknown Creature finds its Way into The Man’s Utility like Room and Attacks Him. The Mysterious Creature Climbs onto the Man’s Head and Proceeds to take over His Body, But that’s Not All. If You want to Know the Ending of Episode 1 You’ll have to Watch it and See for Yourself.

Enjoy.

Tidbits For Shits and Giggles: I CAN’T HEAR MYSELF THINK

I never understood what exactly People meant when They said “I really Identified with that Movie/Play/TV Show Etc., and I would Automatically Dismiss The Comment. That was until I saw I CAN’T HEAR MYSELF THINK by Jake Lava, and then in a Moment of Clarity I fully Understood what People Meant on a Personal Level for the First Time.

When I was a Teenager I was rather Introverted due to Some Social Anxieties I have, and was always Referred to as Shy. This didn’t Stop Me from going to School Sporting Events, Dances, Parties, Concerts, or Group Gatherings since there was Next to Nothing to Due in My Shitty Hometown. So to Cope with these Less than Comfortable Situations I took the Cliche “If You Don’t have Anything Nice to Say Then Don’t Saying at All” and Ran with it like a Motherfucker.

              

At these Various Events I would hang back and Watch/Listen to everything going on Around Me, and I then would Mock, Insult, or Shit Talk what I observed or Heard in My Head to pass the Time. Unfortunately this Coping Mechanism had one Odd Side Effect which was I couldn’t help most times Laughing at the Absurdly Violent, Insulting, or Obscene Thoughts I was Having. I know some of You are like What the Fuck Laughter isn’t a fucking Side Effect because Side Effects Suck Like Explosive Diarrhea or Anal Leakage, but Laughing Who complains about that being a so called Side Effect?!

I was well aware that Some Guy standing in the Back Round or Isolating in a Corner Laughing His Ass Off would make Me look Psychotic to say the Least. I modified My Laugh so it was at the Lowest Audible Level so My Laugh was Deeply Guttural that wouldn’t Draw Too Much Attention. Imagine if a Growl fucked a Serious Belly Laugh and had a Kid that’s the Best way I can Describe it Honestly. The Only Issue was that Over Time People did begin to Notice that the Quiet Guy was Laughing to Himself, and it Sounded Very Sinister and most People found it Profoundly Unnerving.

               

Luckily for Me I had a Friend at the Time Named Al that would basically cover for My Bizarre Behavior. Obviously I wasn’t about to Explain the Insulting, Negative, and Obscene Thoughts I was having (about Them or the Situation) that I painted in Overtly Violent imagery on the Canvas of My Mind. Al would politely Interject His Token Explanation which was if Memory Serves Me “Don’t Mind Him He Thinks Something is Entertaining, But He’s Not About to Tell Us.” and This Seemed to Work Flawlessly.

So Sit Back and Enjoy I CAN’T HEAR MYSELF THINK by the Talented Jake Lava.

AGAMEMNON COUNTERPART

Welcome to another Installment of Strange and Disturbing Videos Featuring AGAMEMNON COUNTERPART!

Agamemnon Counterpart was First Uploaded on June 14, 2006, and this Bizarrely Nonsensical Video has left Countless Viewers Feeling Uneasy and Wanting Answers. So for All Those “Inquiring Minds Want To Know” here We go This One’s for You.

Agamemnon Counterpart Starts with an Old School VHS Tape Warning which was Customary, But an Odd thing to See Nowadays all Technology Considered.

           

After the Warning the Intro to the Video States:

“In the Year 2571, a Videocassette Tape was Found in a Pile of Rubble on the Ruins of a Certain Blue Planet. What You are about to Witness will Not be the Contents of the Aforementioned Cassette. This is an Entirely Different Recording.”

Now the Official Description is a Very Different as it States:

“In 2571 in the Pile of Cliffs in which the Stones are Not Determined on a Blue Planet, this Video was found. The Fact is that You’re going to See This, You have No Connection with this Tape.

This Video is Very Different from What You can Imagine.

Sound Design and Drawing by Dave from 2001 aka D2K1”

           

  • The Main Theory Surrounding the Video is (Based on the VHS Opening) that Someone was attempting to Tape a Cartoon Show Over something that Pre existed. Granted if that is the Case then They did a Seriously Shitty Job since the Auto of the Original Content Remained.
  • The Possible Original Content on the Tape has been Widely Speculated on over the Years.
  • Some of the Theories on What the Original Content include, But are Not Limited to:
  • Some People have Speculated The Tape is some Kind of Brutal xxx Underground Porno (ie Extreme Fetish).
  • A Few Viewers think the Tape is a Top Secret Military Interrogation utilizing Torture.
  • A Small Handful of People seem to think the Tape is of an Actual Person on Their Death Bed in the Act of Dying.
  • Quite a Few People believe the Tape is a Real Life Mental Patient undergoing Shock Treatment.
  • The More Religious People tend to think the Tape is a Recording of a Real Life Satanic Ritual involving a Human Sacrifice.

            

  • A Couple of People think the Tape is of an Inmate going Insane in Solitary Confinement.
  • Some Conspiracy Theorists think the Tape was Recorded during an Alien Abduction.
  • Many People assume the Tape is a Snuff Movie.
  • Other School of Thought is the Tape is of an Actual Demonic Exorcism.
  • Some People Say the Tape was a Recording of a Dark Web Red Room.
  • Some Think the Tape is a Recording made by Two Japanese Men Raping a Woman. To the Relief of the World this Theory Proved to be 100% FAKE.
  • From Greek Mythology King Agamemnon is the Main Character in Homer’s The Iliad Though this Doesn’t seem to have any Bearing as far as the Video is Concerned.

           

  • 911 Agamemnon is (Provisional Designation 1919 FD) is a Large Trojan and a Suspected Binary Asteroid from the Greek Camp, Approximately 100 Miles in Diameter.
  • Is there a Connection Between 911 Agamemnon Asteroid have any Relation to the Video’s Title? Is the Video Insinuating that sometime before the Year 2571 the 911 Agamemnon Asteroid Collide with Earth hence “…Ruins of a Certain Blue Planet.”
  • The Screams in the Video are NOT REAL They are from the 1972 Movie A Cry From Within.
  • The Creepy Music is from The Movie The Human Tornado
  • Turns Out D2K1 stands for Destination Imagination Destination 2001
  • D2K1 was a Contest for Out of the Artistic Creations held in 2001
  • Dave is actually Jason Kovace the Creator of the Video.

Tidbits For Shits And Giggles: DON’T STOMP

For this Installment of Tidbits For Shits And Giggles featuring the 38 Second Cartoon about a Disgruntled Rattlesnake “DON’T STOMP” by PilotRedSun (This is the Second Cartoon by PilotRedSun We have Featured Here at FYB The First Being Hamburger Helper).

The Gadsden Flag 1775

DON’T STOMP is a play on the Historical American saying “Don’t Tread on Me” which is written at the Bottom of the Gadsden beneath a Coiled Timber Rattlesnake. The Flag is Named American General and Politician Christopher Gadsden (1724-1805), who Designed it in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was Used by the Continental Marines as an Early Motto Flag, along with the Moultrie Flag.

The TREAD in the Flag’s Defiant Phrase, Don’t Tread on Me, means “To Step, Walk, or Trample so as to Press, Crush, or Injure Something.” And so, with it’s Tongue Flicked, Fangs Out, and Body Coiled in Defensive Posture, the Rattlesnake (and Motto) warns “If You Dare put Your Foot Down on Me, I will Strike.”

The Gadsden Flag 1775

The One thing as Odd as it may seem that Stuck Out to Us Here at FYB is the Sneaker in the Video. Instead of opting to just Leave the Sneaker a Plain White PilotRedSun decided to Write SKETCHERS on the Side along with what Appears to be a Nike “Swoosh” Insignia. So not only are there apparently Dueling Sneaker Brand Logos on the Same Shoe but Whats the Point/Meaning for this Weirdness? Is PilotRedSun a Fan of the Two Different Sneaker Brands or a Hater of Both Brands? Is there some sort of Underground Sneaker Fanatic War going on, and the SKETCHERS in all caps meant to Symbolize Dominance over the Nike Logo? Well We Digress.

Enjoy.

Tidbits For Shits And Giggles: T IS FOR TOILET [ABC’s of death]

Welcome to this Installment of Tidbits For Shits And Giggles featuring the Claymation Carnage of T IS FOR TOILET [ABC’s of death]] Directed and Animated by Lee Hardcastle.

T IS FOR TOILET Contains Scenes of GRAPHIC VIOLENCE.

T IS FOR TOILET is NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN.

Brief Synopsis: This Humorously Creepy Claymation Horror Story is about a Little Boy who is Very Uncomfortable with Learning to use the Toilet. Now most People simply do Not Remember the Irrational Fear(s) of being a Child going through Toilet Training, and How Alien the Whole Ordeal can be. It’s true that before One tackles the “Big Boy/Girl Potty” there’s an intermediate phase where One uses a Training Potty as part of the Transition.

            

While a Training Potty is a Logical Middle Step in the Process, BUT lets fucking face it Training Potties are NOTHING like Real Toilets. A Training Potty is basically a Plastic Mold that looks like a Mock Cartoonish Toilet (No Pun Intended) designed to be Child Compatible. An Actual Toilet is White and Sterile (like say a Doctors Office) there No Colors or Whacky Characters. Toilets are Not Designed to be Child Friendly so to Speak.

Also a Training Potty is a Third of the Size of an Adult Toilet so when a Child sits on an Adult Toilet they Feel Tiny as Toilets are Designed Specifically for grown Adults. A Small Child is Teetering on the Edge of the Rim where an Adult would be Sitting Secure and Comfortable. To add Insult to Injury when it comes to Children Feeling insecure is the Fact Their Feet are No Longer Touching the Floor. It must feel like Learning to take a Shit like You’re sitting on a Swing at the fucking Playground or something equally Insane. Lastly on the Size Inequality Issue a Child actually Small enough that They can Fall  (or more like Sink) into the Toilet Ass First.

           

The Final Extreme Difference between a Training Potty and a Real Adult Toilet is an Adult Toilet has Pluming which can be Intimidating to a Child with No Concept how Pluming Works. The Tank can Whur, Gurgle, and make other Strange and Creepy Noises that can Urk a Toilet Training Child. Also the Adult Toilet Flushes, and this is probably the Biggest Fear Inducer for Toilet Training Children. Children are a Fraction of Our (Adult) Size so when the Toilet Flushes (the Sound and Visual of) the Water being  Forcefully Sucked Down can Creep a Child Out. The Child’s Fear though is that They some how will be Sucked into the Toilet and Down the Soil Pipe (A Soil Pipe is a Pipe that Conveys Sewage or Waste Water from a Toilet, etc. to a Soil Drain or Sewer).

All Parents have to do to is Remember the Child Doesn’t Know Why all of a Sudden They have to Shit in this Giant, Grim Looking Toilet that Appears to have the Power to Suck Them In. Yes these are the Irrational Fears of a Child, But Again One must remind Themselves this is a Entirely New Experience for Them. At this age Children are just Barely beginning to understand How the World Works and it can be Utterly Terrifying at Times.

Enjoy.

Stay Tuned for the  Sequel to T IS FOR TOILET [ABC’s of death]

Ghost Burger!!
