This is why you parents need to watch your kids when they watch something on YouTube, because your sweet summer children might stumble upon this medieval demented edgy fucked up sesame street shit courtesy of Daddy Lynch when all they wanna do is to learn some wholesome alphabet song.

can you believe that the alphabet didn't exist until daddy lynch made this short ???

It's a Terry Gilliam Monty Python animation mixed with a Sesame Street sketch and then dragged through hell backwards. Brilliant.

I'm not even a father but I've already found the perfect educational tool for my future child

"I was sitting back, probably taking a smoke, looking at it, and from the painting I heard a wind, and the green started moving. And I thought, "oh, a moving painting, but with sound." And that idea stuck in my head. A moving painting."- David Lynch, in David Lynch: The Art Life.
I think this quote best describes how this short feels.
For some reason this really reminded me of House (1977). -

I like this one because an uppercase A gives birth to lowercase a’s out of a bloody cocoon, and my name starts with the letter A so that was cool!!!!!
