Summary: A fast-paced, absurd collection of short films, parodies, animations, pranks, and musical numbers. Attempts to shock life back into the art of sketch comedy. Has grotesquely memorable characters and crude animation bits all wrapped up neatly. The apparent slipshod manner of each episode may or may not be part of the skit.
