Paul driessen - The killing of an egg

[apeluso12]

Good to see that I wasn't the only person who Nickelodeon traumatized as a kid in the late 80's/early 90's.

[marvel8797]

holy crap, i didnt dream up this creepy nightmare of a cartoon. its real. my therapist said i was delusional, but its real....

[tehhorror]

and thus, my nightmares.

[alien8w8]

Yea this was on Nick when I was young it really didn't register as a kid. But I just remembered it several years later. Kinda morbid but it did get you thinking as a kid. I remember asking my parents what this was and they thought I was crazy lol.

[pillowpannts]

I saw this when I was a kid (im 25 now) i remembered the scene as in what happened and the concept but I completely forgot the yellow and seeing it again I just now got that he's the yoke being all round and yellow. At the time I first saw it I just thought he was some guy who did unto others and others did it unto him, This short and Your Face by Bill Plympton stuck with me in the back of my mind for a couple decades now until I googled a description of them both one night out of the blue.

[AirplaneRadio]

@pillowpannts I'm very glad that I have found this after years of searching and that my story seems to match a lot of others. I'm also 25 now, saw it only once on Nickelodeon and it really screwed up my mind. Very disturbing but so glad I found it again.

[majortrithal]

I remember this.. I always wondered why Nickelodeon would air something so disturbing

[SonOfATL]

It freaked me out too lol

[Leatherbubba]

When I was a kid and watched this on Nickelodeon I had no idea what was going on, but it was really funny. Now I get it.

[PurpleStill]

this cartoon did freak me out as a kid

[Lottech96]

dumb



[Pegarignol]

Hey, what is it, one minute, i'm coming ...

[Durandal1717]

Like so many others, this left an indelible mark on my mind... Amazing.

[bukster1]

I'm sure on liquid tv version where I first saw this, I don't recall him saying grace before eating his egg at the beginning. Perhaps saying grace isn't something they want to promote at liquid tv so that bit got cut.

[Ccomaffayod]

Hahahaha! I remember this from when I was a kid! I thought this was so funny. Fantastic. YouTube is awesome.

[sketch2k278]

Sounds like mario getting Raped!! lol

[westgoten]

Anyone have "Elbow Game"?

Another one of those Paul Driessen greats, about people standing in line to push each other over a cliff.

[RatheSunGod001]

this just displays the obvious fact, although it is funny, there is always something bigger than us to crush us. even with the same malicious intent we have towards other life forms. we are next!

[VOLKHVORONOVICH]

@RatheSunGod001

But guess what? If he hadn't been so merciless in killing the egg, he wouldn't have died himself. It was his own actions which killed him. He thought it was only a good joke--but the very violence he delighted in, killed him exactly sixty-four seconds later. As soon as he smashed the egg for the final time, he made his own death inevitable--because it had already happened. He was his own victim--and never realized it. OH THE IRONY!

[EnjiBEARatsu]

Karma is a bitch.

Like many others, this freaked me the hell out when I was a kid.

[satisfiction]

MAN I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN FOREVER!! But me and my sister always talked about it HAHA!

[mulry101]

I've been looking for this forever! Thanks for posting it!

[ardalsgirl]

@wajinBoy Lol me too! I could never remember the name of it either! How I finalley stumbled upon it was I was watching Liquid Television on here (another one of my favorites shows as a kid, bring back the old MTV! :p) and in the credits I saw the picture of this and couldn't believe it so I paused it and got the name of it, finalley! :p lol

[ChrisandSimon]

I haven't seen this in ages

[RatheSunGod001]

good interpretation of how we are as humans, just when we think we are on top, there is something bigger waiting to crush us as well....

[IAMPARKMAN]

Every time I would see this, I always think about "Ren & Stimpy Show." Good times

[etheral25]

This is it! I have been looking for this for some time. My daughter was scared to death of this, but loved it anyway.

[Acrobatdog99]

Hey Who Is It? Yeah Just A Minute I'm A Coming. Hello! Hello! Yes What is it? Hey Hey Watch It Who Is It? Now Stop That! Hey No! No! Hey N.....(Screams).

[rossisdead]

This short shaped my life

[YoungLuka]

[dukeofearl2005]

Nickalodeon! I remember this was a short inbetween cartoons! THere were a few more like this that were freakin' weird and cool. Tks!

[Mooshpups]

Thank you s o much for posting this, I remember seeing this all the time I had been looking for it on youtube for a while now!

[limbdarkening]

I remember seeing this on American television when I was a kid. Instead of a million commercials, they used to have short animations in between shows. This was one of them. For years I didn't know what it was called until now, thanks for sharing.

[glowworm2]

This short used to scare the crap out of me as a kid!Also, I hated the main character as a child--his design frightened me.

[LoveLife2141]

Ahhh...this cartoon always scared me when I was little!!!

[1LadyBlackCat]

OMG, I have not seen this in YEARS! My first lesson of karma, and I didn't even know it until now. :/

Thanks for sharing!

[R0undab0ut]

Pretty high quality for 1977.

[jmee05]

ive been looking for this for years!!! :)

[AutisticPersona]

Oh the sweet Irony of life!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

I love these fucked up short toons.

[ZachH1233]

perfect example of karma

[redplaguethe3rd]

Aw snap! I remember this cartoon! This came on right after Noozles or before the Little Koala on Nick Jr.! Man, I remember so many other short cartoons like this one, but this one was my favorite!

[Tot41Ob1ivioN]

This is so awesome!! And it creeps you out in a strange way!!

[Alamo1744]

I've been searching for this for years. I could still remember how strange it seemed for something on Nickelodeon.

I'm glad to watch it again.

[vipewolf]

I remember this! It freaked me out.

[mistyeyesarecrying]

lol I forgot how fucked up this cartoon was. I was so little when I first saw it. It's great!

[tekken000]

Thanks for posting this...I remember this from my childhood...

[koolchik1314]

look at the guys mouth when he gets into the egg XD his jaw seperates

[KabukiBluesummers]

o_0 wtf??

[psyctrl]

I am so glad to see this again!!!! LOVE IT!

[hocsoin]

We miss you so much Dave Schlitt, you were always a great friend! I know you loved this cartoon. "Who is it?!"

Coby

[shaman13405]

OMG!! I have been looking for this for MONTHS!!! Yay!

[keziakitchen]

Does anybody else think that Christopher Nolan 'borrowed' from this film for his own; Doodlebug. This preceded it by twenty years, after all...

[jumproge]

I had been searching for this, or anyone who vaguely remembered it, for years. I started to think that my sister and I had invented it in our imaginations. This makes me happy.

[angie4777]

im watching this while im eating eggs

[Manusturbo]

This is great.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Poetic justice.

[chillyn311]

This movie short is a timeless classic. It was a lot more disturbing when i was little though. My cousin and i laughed about it all through dinner cause it was one of the weirdest things we had ever seen! Nice!

[dmarco46]

@chillyn311 yeah, that got me as a kid, too

[ChungryNomad]

*tap tap tap smash

"No NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

So funny

[ChrisSketch]

I definitely remember this disturbing me when I was kid. But I also kind of loved it too. I loved the way spoon sounded on the egg, the way the house crunches inward, that nightmarishly grey scene that shows the outside of the house, yellow asscrack! I can't believe I'd forgotten about this until now.

[Grad3zer0]

wow, timeless classic

[unclefestus]

Damn.... this takes me back. I always thought this cartoon was completely screwed up and twisted.... Now that I see it 10 or 15 years later..... it's still pretty screwed up and twisted....

[NOAMattD]

To this day I still say "Who eez it?" like the guy in this cartoon. Thanks a bunch for uploading it!

[Enriqueble]

It's not funny, but it is weird. Really weird.

I was just thinking of making egg salad because mum's not here to make my lunch. I then thought of this cartoon suddenly, and here it is. Still weird as ever. It's got to be over 10 years old by now. What a time. How did I still remember it?

[DJ4010]

I do remember this from Nickelodeon! It is very classic and hilarious!

I do love the part where he says: Now stop a that!

[MrsMcMahon4life]

His accent cracks me up so much! "Yah, ah just a minute, I'm ah coming." LMFAO!

[Unicronomicon]

I remember seeing this too when I was a little kid! I've always wanted to take a look at it again since I never thought it made much sense.

[Acrobatdog99]

Man: Hey a Who Is It?

[NeoCulexor]

Just classic!

[werexninja]

man. this would've scarred me for life as a child.

[xxbobbybxx]

Same here!!!!!!

[Sorvea]

It DID scare me as a child... I couldn't eat eggs for years... still can't without thinking of this...

[JimmyWhizz]

I got me too, but not that bad. I just had to change the channel every time they showed it...which was pretty often back then.

They showed it again on Liquid Television, which I was also a fan of.

[prometheus126]

HAhah, thought I was the only one! cartoon freaked me out as a kid!!

[emceegonz]

@werexninja This DID scar me for life as a child. :shudder: Soo scary.

[mandaprie]

@werexninja  It did me.

[limbdarkening]

@werexninja I saw this when I was a kid and it was totally scary.

[daphscat]

yeah they showed this on nickelodeon. too bad tv in america stinks now

[mizr11]

I remember watching this on tv like 15 or so years ago. Brings back memories.

[vidimah]

I love this clip.. Good morning everybody.

[chickiesgrettagirl]

oh this is funny ahhhh!!!

[yassinetje21]

Karma

[VonShrimp]
