I prefer the second, if only to know that the cartoon version of Jackie Chan is finding work in “veejaying” Indian-produced nursery songs.

Ahh….

*brain ’splodes*

The first one made me want to eat squirrels and push the sheep over.

The second however made me want to hide and shoot the characters with paint balls room a safe distance.

So all i’m trying to say is, choose the one that depending on the scare factor. Number 1 for downright weird, while number 2 for frightening demon sheep.

*finishes watching 2nd video*

*waits for twitching to subside*

Er, um. Yeah, definitely the first one. Unless you were sorely lacking in nightmare fuel. (Which I can’t imagine is the case, considering some of the RiffTrax you’ve commented on.)

What interests me is that the squirrel (in the first video) starts out trying to speak sheep (with “Baa Baa”) but quickly switches to English upon realizing, “Hey, this Sheep wears clothes and smokes, so he/she’s probably bilingual, too.” Also, I always assumed that the question indicated a desire on the singer’s part to purchase said wool. Which, not only do I fail to understand why a squirrel would want wool in the first place, but also what kind of answer is that? I suppose it’s more polite than just saying, “Yeah, I DO have wool, but not for you, so scram!” But did the sheep really have to divulge its client list? When I buy wool, I like to think it’s confidential, especially if I pre-ordered. And now I’ve officially given this far too much thought.

As for the second one? After having read all the notes, I’m almost afraid to watch it now…

I can’t believe I didn’t notice sooner that of the children, Rhyma and Rhymie, in the second video the boy has a fauxhawk. Yeah. I looked up their names. But I’d still rather refer to Rhyme Man as Sudden Shouting Indian Guy.

Anyway, boy’s fauxhawk = Extra points for hipster douchebaggery, so I think the choice should be obvious now.

How?? How could India afford Gene Simmons to be the sheep in the second video. One lick from a foot away would convince anyone that he is the BLACK SHEEP.
Hurray for Bollywood…

The second one, definitely. Baa Baa Black Ship?

I did not know ships could make sounds like that, and I wish to explore this. That and the seizure-inducing animation make the second one a dhkhlardbasdjlks.

Oh, help, no, stop singing…. STOP!!!

They are both equally horrifying. But the first one is shorter and doesn’t have a scary looking sheep or people whose mouths move WAY more than they should, so I prefer that one.

To add my two cents, I prefer my cartoon animals as anthropormorphized as possible (have you ever eaten “Skinny Cow” ice cream?), so I vote film #1.

I second CrowTeeRobot, only substitute “elitist” for “pinko”.

I don’t know, Bill. I think the second one best suits your lifestyle. The first one is too Disney. But perhaps, you’ve already made a decision and my agonizing is for nothing…

I appreciated the 2nd one much more than the 1st due to the vague GOTHY voice of the sheep … the cameo by curious george’s yellow hat guy, and the fact that the music seems to have been created by the ghost of Wesley Willis,

Well, animated sheep are like pringles, it’s hard to stop at one. So I say embrace both. Give in and gorge yourself.

Bill,

What I want to know is how in the earth did you sit through both of those videos the first time. Why didn’t you stop watching after 10 seconds in? I mean it isn’t like MST3K or Rifftrax where you get paid to watch and make fun of it.

I can only assume that this is the kind of thing you enjoy watching on youtube in your free time.

Another good question is why did I sit through both of them? Why did I let Mr Bill Corbett’s recommendation cloud my judgment and keep watching. Why? WHY?

I’m surprised no one drew attention to that Freudian line of trees that appear briefly in the background of video #2, which by far makes it the more alarming of the two.

Just how big is Elaine that she can fit a boy inside her and all that wool? Why didn’t they animate that part?

At first, the pipe smoking sheep and the clearly shifty chipmunk had my vote, but the second one had the Suddenly Shouting Guy, a crowd favorite. That along with the other stoners with Suddenly Shouting Guy and said hideously insane weird sheep tongue makes it a nightmare inducing classic for the years to come.

I’d go with the first one–you have to admire the chutzpah of the animators ripping off Disney’s Clarabell Cow and Geppetto like that.

Were these made using the animation program in Mario Paint?
