Dogs: At Work And Play

There's so many different things I like about this ad about a bully's comeuppance. The popped ball is a nice touch:

Also: Mr. Cracker gets creative with a stop-motion hoedown.

UPDATE:
Updated to add that the wonderful music in the clip is fiddler G.B. Grayson's 1927 recording of "Omie Wise."

Haw haw... I like the hoedown..I was waiting for Gumby to jump out any second.

The Shepherd's Lament was good too..

"The Shepherd's Lament." Heh.

MC has this little wooden dog with all movable parts. For some strange reason he started a project with it the other night. I like it when the head turns to look at the viewer.

He's no Ray Harryhausen but that was funny!
Thanks MC.

I love me some stop-motion. Animation for the common man.

I just happened to have watched a Monty Python episode last night featuring home appliances in a derby race. It's a lasting art form.

There's a lot to be learned form the Ommie Wise story..mainly, don't let your greed and love of horseback riding keep you from visiting your neighbors.

Seems like Ommie would be a good name for the wooden dog.
