First this guy hallucinates a talking spring, then he starts rambling incoherently to his friends about how awesome springs are and how the world is made of them...is this short really about springs, or is it an anti-drug PSA?

This short is making me suicidal.
I love that we finally get the short for Springs that inspired the Willy The Waffle sketch in 423 The Bride Of The Monster (about an hour and ten in). I like to think of the Brains sitting on this gem of a short and then presenting it in the final season as a goody.
This IS by far one of the BEST

When I was little I watched a made-for-TV movie about killer worms that was pretty similar to this; I remember in one scene the worms hid in an empty gardener's glove and when he put the gloves on again they ate his hands. So now I have this compulsion to check my gloves and boots before I garden. I think there was a sequel with giant killer lobsters. Anyone know what movies I'm talking about?
I guess this short was made to combat the growing hatred of springs among fringe Anti-American groups. Makes perfect sense.
