Pickle Surprise (SLYT). More videos from the same artist. For when you haven't had your daily recommended dosage of Vitamin WTF?.

Is this seriously the first time this has been posted here? I remember this being one of those first videos that got digitized when video started becoming popular on the internet.
But a classic.

These are seriously the most wonderful, cracked things I've seen in a long time. The costumes, the color palettes, the stilted enunciation and exaggerated facial expressions - I would love to spend an hour living through this man's brain.
The way he uses that scary old WGBH-logo moog-music in Ookie Cooke is just perfect.
Sidenote: could Pickle Surprise be the inspiration for the performance art in Spaced?

This vid is one of my favs. There is something really... just, off about everyone. Strange and transgressive, my gaydar pings and I wonder if the all the women are women and I feel like I want to have sex with everyone in the video. But I am not gay! Why do I want to have sex with all of these freaks?!? Where's the pickle?
Oh, just me? Carry on, then.

This is one of my favorite things on the Internet. It's also why, years after seeing this video for the first time, I say "HAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" out loud at least once every time I eat ham.
HAAAAMMMMMMMMM

It's nice to know that somewhere out there in the world there's someone thinking, "What if Leigh Bowery were in charge of Oscar Mayer's marketing?"

I wonder if the "Log" gag they used to do on Ren & Stimpy comes from this. Ditto Powdered Toast Man. It definitely reminded me of it.

Oh, god. My boss is all about "Give 'em the pickle" these days, so the timing of this couldn't be better.

This video got even weirder for me when I realized that those guys are Michael Alig and his Club Kids. You know... Party Monster.

I love this! This got linked here somewhere a while back (the previously you point to doesn't ting a bell for me, but who knows?) and I watched it about 20 times in a row. Absolutely worth its own post!
But it's not an SLYT when you include other links, is it?

This should have been on Night Flight! Or maybe it was and I'm just not remembering it.
