Rammy M sent this as an animated LOL, specifying that it was the credits he found particularly funny — but can somebody explain the point of the animation itself?

At first I thought attaching 69 seconds of credits to a 60 second short was pretty odious, but Rammy M is absolutely right, the credits are much better than the short itself. Note that Part Two doesn’t make much sense without the 4.5 minutes of boredom in Part One (see [jec]’s link @ 1), the whole point being what happens to the picture frame at the very end. Out of sight, out of mind.

“Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad:…” Runner and buses - is there a tie in to Rosie Ruiz?

I’m so glad to see Cyanide and Happiness has expanded to animation, allowing it to waste minutes of my time instead of seconds.

It’s the Cincinnati Armadillos. Any mention of armadillos is, ipso fatso, funny.

With part one, it makes sense, without actually being funny (and it didn’t seem to me that they intended this to be funny). I thought that it was just barely worth sitting through all of part one to get to the punchline.

The animation seemed pretty obvious: the son (I presume that’s who it is given the absence of the father in the pics halfway through the string of them) gets a momentary urge to be like his old man, then delivers the “Nah!” punchline and goes back to watching TV.

I saw it as the son realizing that he will never live up to his father’s legacy, which makes him feel bad about himself and mad at his father.

There was some call for a sequel to the first one. I assume this is a response of some sort.
I found them both enjoyable.

I liked them both, particularly the endings. Although the credits in the sequel went too fast to read much. Any idea how to slow them down?
