The best is the monkey that couldn't get around the steam roller.

The guys from MST3K did a "Rifftrax" on this short. It's quite amazing and I recommend everyone buy it from the site.

Do you find that you're sleeping a little too well as of late? That your dreams are of the innocuous stripe, i.e., old friends turning into llamas and eating your baseball hat, rather than full out, scream-yourself-awake nightmares followed by 15 minutes of sweating and shallow breathing interrupted by occasional anxiety-induced "whale flips" that rip the covers off your significant other? Well, then we've got a short for you! One Got Fat is the real deal - a concentrated dose of lab-purified nightmare fuel. To give away too much would be to blunt the surprise of your upcoming trauma... but here's a hint: A teeming sea of pre-adolescent ur-monkeys are murdered one by one, all to the whimsical narration of the lubricious Edward Everett Horton! Yay! Mike, Bill and Kevin are there with you, shivering in terror in the dark.

Unless I miss my guess, narration is handled by Edward Everett Horton of Rocky & Bullwinkle fame.

I want to know how they managed to upload a 14-minute clip to YouTube. (I'll watch when I get home.)

Don't watch it as is. Boring. Watch the Rifftrax. ; )

I believe YouTube recently increased the duration of videos you're allowed to upload.

Glad the whole monkey thing had a point - it was freaking me out.

On the other hand, those aren't monkey masks. They're more baboon-pig hybrids. WTF?

Note to viewers, the link at top of subject here goes to an embedded copy which clips off the video's right edge (at least on my browsers). For best results, go straight to its home on YouTube:
