Surprise Cinema

Bill Plympton does it again with this hilarious collection of ultraviolent animated sketches. This time they all share a common theme, though-- deadly practical jokes on unsuspecting people, usually with hilariously gory results.

It is obvious that Mr. Plympton is making a statement about how cruel and exploitative "Candid Camera"-type shows can be, and he seems to feel strongly about it, while at the same time he succeeds in making the viewer grimace and crack up simultaneously. Good work, Bill! Don't stop making these f**ked-up shortfilms!
