This short was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be mild spoilers ahead:
This short starts off strangely and just becomes weirder as it goes. The two characters (one of them the dimmest bulb in the lamp) first try to find something on the radio, only to hear the same song played in various styles of music, then have an annoying visitor, write off playing chess for a most disturbing reason and finally devolve to a game of "shadow puppets", in other words, casting shadow figures on the wall while they each try to guess what the other one has created.
I would be fashioning a noose about this time, but the smarter one has greater forbearance than I do, so he gamely plays on until he finally cracks and launches into a magnificent rant with one of the best insults in recent memory, all of which is clearly lost on his obtuse friend.
I haven't been able to track this down on any type of media, but it's floating about on the web and is worth tracking down and watching. Recommended.
