That was hilarious. "Don't forget DL-6 (FUNNY PRANK)(GONE SEXUAL)". It's also neatly made and the emotional build-up was pretty good until things went south (then it became even better).

Inviso
This one was actually pretty funny. The comedy was well-played and the horror aspect barely mattered. Maybe thats why this was so much more tolerable than some of the others.

A man uses a trained parrot to propose to his girlfriend, only to find out the bird is a bit too smart. Domestic violence intensifies.

Suprak
I feel like this is almost a Southwest commercial from the mid 2000s. Like after the parrot started making the orgasm noises the dude shouldve mugged into the camera and the scene freeze framed and the voice over guy went Want to get away? I feel like this joke has to have been done before, but I cant lie and say I didnt laugh when the parrot was bopping up and down like crazy at the end. I thought it was funny enough. The blood splashes on the camera at the end feel like they go on for roughly ten seconds too long though.

jcgamer
Hahahahaha fantastic - cute & clever

Snake
The cutest murder-marriage proposal ever

A charming young fellow buys a parrot and teaches the bird to propose to his girlfriend. Cute and heartwarming stuff. But unfortunately our charming young fellow was dumb enough to have an affair within earshot of the parrot, and the bird happily repeats every audible detail to the girlfriend.
I wanted to love this one, but it felt rushed and the boyfriend having an off-screen affair seemed like a low-hanging fruit to me. Why not pick something more creative than him cheating on his girlfriend the night before he proposes? Cmon now. C-

A silly scenario, but the comedy tone made the joke instantly stale.

John
honestly at least they didn't kill the pet that's the bar I'm holding this to

With all the juvenile and toilet humor in these films, surprisingly the one called Toilet doesn't fit into either category. This one is very grim. I love claymation when it comes to violence and surrealism, because you can do some really cool things it. This one does a lot in such a small amount of time.

jcgamer
That was great, and no wonder - Lee Hardcastle is one of the best claymators around

Snake
Classic Robot Chicken/South Park style gross-out violent comedy

Suprak
I checked and apparently the guy who made this tends to do a lot of Claymation work which honestly was not my guess. The Claymation is sort of rough in a sort of hey this is a fun hobby I just took up last week kind of way. But I still think I liked it? It was charming and I liked the take on silly childhood fear turning into what looked like something out of Final Destination when he wakes up. Also the toilet jump scare was the scariest part of the first movie and Ill fight you on that if you disagree. Fun, clever, original, and just a bit scary. Couldnt ask for much more in five minutes.

Karo
A claymation segment featuring a childs potty training gone horribly wrong. The animation at least makes it stand out even if it isnt that great.

plasma
In the English language there are 6,653 words beginning with the letter T, and I guarantee you the director didnt consider any of his 6,652 other options. His brain went straight to Toilet and stuck there as he crafted his death short about the horrors of potty training.
Imagine the directors chagrin when discovered that his animated toilet tale was the second of its kind in the anthology. Imagine his anguish when he realized that the Law of Diminishing Returns would cause audiences to groan as they watched yet another commode chronicle. Imagine MY surprise when I learned that, according to a source-less entry on Wikipedia, T Is For Toilet was chosen as the best short film from ABCs of Death #1.
Best short from ABCs #1? Hell no. The clay-mation is good here, there are some memorable moments, and the ending is amusing, but this one really suffered from being lumped in with several other stories that involved bathrooms. I was burned out on toilets at this point. D+

Inviso
How is Toilet not the only toilet movie on this list? Its gross and the Claymation makes the grossness even worse, but its interesting enough to warrant a spot above some other films on the list.

John
heh stupid kid get rekt

Raka
Great, another toilet-based one. Let's see if this one is grosser than the others. Oh, this one's a literal murderous toilet for a change. It at least utilizes the claymation format quite effectively. But this late to the movie...I'm just not in the mood for it.
