In drama we are reading the play Woyzeck and this story is in it!
I nearly jumped out my seat when I realized!

the chuckle at the end is a huge part of the magic of this piece. I'm so glad I don't think like you. he's laughing at the idea of giving a very young child a taste of harsh reality as opposed to a fairytale. and that's a funny idea you humourless get.

when i first heard this with my friend today, we laughed, but this video made it a lot more than black humor for me, and so much more poignant, thanks, great video man.

@Herebebears I always considered "There's your story. Night Night" as an effective ending. The chuckle was just an extra.

I don't hear the chuckle as "heh heh, just kidding" at all. To the contrary, I hear it as "Pester me for a bedtime story, will ya?...Now try to have a good night's sleep after that, ya little shit!". To me that's much more powerful and dark and sinister (and 'Waits-ian') than "THERE'S your fucking story. Full stop." Again, I wish the other animations on Youtube that did leave in the punchline (Yes, PUNCHLINE!) were as good as yours! ;-)

i understand and respect your point.
Having said that, I disagree, and were I to do the whole thing over I'd still leave out the chuckle.
Thank you, however, for taking the time and effort to explain your position to me.

Nothing 3rd rate about the video...it's beautiful...It's just that, the chuckle doesn't distract...The chuckle is the punchline without which there is no joke.
Beautiful interpretation...lousy editing...

Sorry, to me the chuckle distracts, and since I was doing a little creating I exercised some creative license and left it out.
On purpose.
I don't think of the laugh as a punchline at all. I think it diminishes the punch of darkness the story contains, *as I see it*.
It's like, "Heh heh, just kidding."
Without it it's like, "THERE'S your fucking story. Full stop."
There's nothing nice or soft about this tale and the warmth of a human laugh at the end distracts from that, to ME.
