"So, Coily waited thousands of years to make his point, and then he backed down almost instantly?"

No springs! (followed by sound effect that sounds like "woo hoo")

An awful short detailing the importance of springs in everyday life. The worst thing is, only half the short is about a world without springs, and the second half is about the man (who is now apparently a full member of the Spring Religion) harassing his golf buddies about why they should thank God (God being Coily the spring sprite in this situation) that there are so many springs in the world.

2/10 for the short itself (it's gets some points because it made me understand the importance of springs!), and 10/10 for the MST3K episode it was featured in.
