Three short flash animations from the excellent satirical comedy Monkey Dust. Check out Internet (bottom right) and find out what really happens when you connect to the net.

"...perhaps he can give us something to stop the vomiting"
That was classic.

I once knew a guy who could connect to dialup ISPs just using his mouth like that, but then he drank Coke and ate Pop Rocks at the same time and exploded.

Monkeydust. In ten years you'll meet a lot of people who claimed they watched it the first time, not on repeat or DVD. They will be lying.

Oh my god, "i think your clock just stopped" that was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

That was hilarious - the internet one especially. Thanks, grahamwell!

Monkey Dust is absolute class. I reccomend our American cousins hassle BBC America to show it. Probably one of the funniest / most grotesque / well animated series I have ever seen.

My personal favorite - "The meatsafe murderer. Only I never did it." but the Daisy Murderer, the Voice over man, the first time cottager and the man with the excuses are all really, really funny.

For your edification - here's a link with more people talking about how good they think the show is.

Can't download any of the anims; they all stop dead at ~10%, even when using wget on a server 300 miles away slap bang in the middle of Telehouse (which got the first 10% at about 600k/s).
