Oompa

Rammstein Oompa band
Another dubbing gag, but these monsters of krautrock are enjoyably undermined with the true feel of a German beer festival. Close your eyes and think of sausages. (There's a straightline for you.)

From Russia with CGI
Impressive selection of surreal images from what I presume is someone's advertising photography portfolio. That or they have a strange fascination for heavy plant equipment and toilets. Great stuff though and hard to tell what is CGI and what undoctored.

GD time
From the OBG file, a graphic designer's spin on timekeeping, through a series of slowly shifting layers. Makes you peculiarly aware of how fast time is passing, but in a tastefully understated way.

Rabbit mess
This novel animation featuring rabbits doing massive poos has a weird Terrance & Philip meets Space Invaders ambience.

And finally, a joke that hopefully won't hit too close to home...

Anniversary Trouble

Sam was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him, "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in six seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Sam got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, she brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
