I suppose everyone in the civilized world has already seen this, but I hadn't OK, and so I felt I should mention it during these dark days after christmas, that people's spirits might lift anew, like mine did.
Apparently this is a series of flash movies from a wellfed show site, and I got there through Shmorky's site, the guy who nowadays helps out with cartoons for SomethingAwful.com.
His site was funny enough, but this 8-legged entertainment thing, with Tako the Squid Chef, it's so mindboggingly well-prepared and detailed I have never seen anything like it.
When I saw the first episode, my jaw dropped at the small little links that popped up while Tako was talking, like a real Amazon list of cast-iron frying pans, when Tako talked pans. The timing of the dialogue and jokes are also IMO up there with Futurama or Zim, plus Tako is kind of cute, in a humble loser way (like Kif Kroaker in Futurama). It's semi-interactive, meaning that at some point in almost every episode, you get to choose a path.

Click the leftmost icon, called "Deep Fried Live" and then the eight episodes come up on the right-hand side. My favorites are 1, 3 and 7.
You could learn from Tako, Jason! Those Eggs Benedict you served me in football socks were of unsatisfactory texture. Also, don't store your beef soup in the same compartment as the stolen wares from your late-night sorority pantie-raids.
