Dirty Shame, A
The fight for carnal liberation is under way! Lust is in the air on Harford Road and Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman),...
In the surreal and offbeat animated short "Norm.", the mundane life of a man named Norm takes a bizarre turn when he is visited by the ghost of legendary comedian Sam Kinison. Voiced by the late comic icon himself, this spectral mentor arrives with a singular, screaming mission: to teach the hapless Norm how to be funny. As Norm, voiced by Norm Macdonald, navigates this absurd predicament, he finds his world further upended by the sudden, inexplicable appearance of a very confused Jerry Seinfeld, adding another layer of comedic chaos to his already strange day. Directed by Aron Fromm, this rapid-fire six-minute journey plunges its protagonist into a hilariously unhinged tutorial on humor, pitting his deadpan demeanor against Kinison's iconic, volcanic delivery. The film crafts a uniquely absurd atmosphere where the rules of reality are secondary to the pursuit of a punchline, exploring the universal anxiety of performance through a lens of pure, animated anarchy.
