While most everyone became rather obsessed with the Adult Swim short “Too Many Cooks”, it was the quasi-follow up “[Unedited Footage Of A Bear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gMjJNGg9Z8&ref=vjarmy.com)” that resonated with me more, It’s considerably more nightmarish: a pharmaceutical ad that goes completely off the rails and never considers coming back.

A stand-out part of this was because of Dan Deacon’s excellent – and unnerving – music. I wasn’t a fan previously, I did check out his most recent release, Gliss Riffer, and became more than a little obsessed with his 3/4 time metaphysical sea shanty, “When I Was Done Dying”.

Adult Swim, being the sort of people who will bring strange things to life, assembled the Off The Air team and put together a video for it, which is about as fitting as it gets.
