Cockroach, your problems are not mine
Formerly I was sceptical that anyone could actually find Itchy & Scratchy as funny as the kids of Springfield do. (I preferred Worker & Parasite.) But then I saw this delightful cartoon about a milkman, which, though it does go on too long, caused me to laugh a disturbing amount.

That was funny for a while. I stopped laughing and reflexively covered my mouth with my hand after a few later scenes, though.
That was terribly disturbing.

didn't laugh.
it looked like the same artist as does salad fingers, though, which is hilarious.

It's the same guy.

I think David Firth has some mother issues.
Can I play that song on my show? (Answer: not until I get back into safe harbor.)

I hate you, Milkman Ben.

Also, I am sceptical of your poncey British spelling.

So Ben, do you remember back, maybe second year, when we explained that decorating your room with a mixture of swords, dead scorpions, and giant staring eyes would, at the very least, reduce its love nest potential? I feel that your taste has not entirely changed, although, in fairness, your current apartment is marked by coolness and exposed pipes.

That was just not right. At all.

Giant staring eyes? I don't remember any giant staring eyes.

It was funnier and less offensive the second time. I claim false advertising.
and, further, on 2005-05-31 20:40:12.0, ben wolfson commented:
Really? I found it less and less funny with repeated viewings. (Lest anyone think too little of me, I only watched it three times total.) The second time was the most offensive, though I didn't bother watching it through to the end the third time.

Well, giant may be inapposite, but definitely staring--it was black and white and very arty.

Ah yes. By Maurits Cornelius Escher.

The very one! I had forgotten the grim death's head in the pupil.

I was wrong before. It's a great cartoon.

He eventually understands that he cannot be the milkman, and this makes him sad.
