Home Box Office® (HBO®) "Short Take" (early 1980s)

[Rushthatspeaks]

Here's one I challenge someone to find. An HBO short animated cartoon called "Mimes". Very very strange from the early 80's. Think they only showed it once.

@Rushthatspeaks To elaborate. Strange silent men with mustaches in business suits fought over chairs...that's what I remember from it.

Anyone remember the cartoon about the guy who's life was messed up from alcohol? There was a song which went, "Don't ever mess with alcohol, don't ever mess with alcohol. It's a shame..."

i seen a short film on HBO i think where these weird witches are racing in the street and one of them crashes in a wall and its stop motion animated. it creeped me out but it looked really cool, anyone seen that one!?!?!

Does anyone remember the short take film where an ambulance arrives at the scene of a car wreck and is checking the bodies and one person is still conscience but cannot speak or move. The EMTs load the two bodies into the ambulance and take them in for an autopsy. The conscience person sees the doctor cutting on the other person but cannot move or speak to tell him that he's alive. Then the doctor comes over to him to start the autopsy and I can't remember what happens next. Anyone remember?

Does anyone remember the short take about the woman who was trying to diet, and ended up on a beach eating blueberries on a beach?

Does anyone remember the HBO short of the woman writing a "Dear John" letter on a red velvet background and as she gets angrier she smashes sardines onto the letter but then re-writes it?
