this short that aired on Cartoon Network is notoriously creepy and sad and lacking much in the way of comedy

But

If you think it sucks to share a “really funny” youtube video with a friend who sits there totally unamused, I want you to know that the guy who slaved over creating this cartoon, a former Ren and Stimpy animator, said in an old interview (which I can’t find anymore so I’m sorry you have to take my word on this) that he straight up “forgot” to put jokes in it through all his long sleepless hours working on just the animation direction of what he had hoped would be his big break in the industry and then he showed his creation to a private screening of network guys who sat through it stone-faced while he sat alongside them silently dying inside.
