SATURDAY SHORT: KUNSTBAR (2002)
“Kuntsbar” (in English, “Art Bar”) is Whitehouse Animation’s brilliant interpretation of a confusing world where all artist-created realities live side-by-side. Watch for the visual citations to Jackson Pollock, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and others art masters.

SATURDAY SHORT: THE TRIP (2009)
As uncomfortable as it is original, Unglewd will challenge your concept of music. Samples of chatter and screeching, accompanied by erratic drums, blend with a slew of distressful images to make this week’s short a bad trip you must experience.
SATURDAY SHORT: FRED AND BARNEY FOR BUSCH BEER (1967)
For someone who wasn’t around fifty years ago to see the original airings of “The Flintstones”, watching Fred and Barney down a couple glasses of Busch beer may come as a bit of a shock. Younger generations commonly view the Flintstones as a family friendly comedy appropriate for all ages, but the show was initially intended for adults.
Fred and Barney’s casual drinking aside, this commercial has even more odd qualities in store. The hypnotic circle at the beginning, repeating of slogans, and Mr. Slate’s hallucinations make for an anomalous gem.
SATURDAY SHORT: TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW GREAT JOB!: H’AMB
For some Adult Swim viewers, it was hard enough to believe that Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim’s grotesquely odd television series received a second season. To their dismay, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! premiered season five (season “cinco”) in February of this year. Although the series focuses on comedy, Wareheim claims that the show is greatly influenced by the awkwardness of David Lynch‘s work.
