DON HERTZFELDT'S "REJECTED"

My SPOON'S too big! Seen this on youtube? It's HEElarious, so much so that I googled it. This awesome short is Don Hertzfeldt's first self-made flick out of college. And, born in Fremont, dude is a Bay Area born himself.

The short "Rejected" was actually nominated for an Oscar, and is now a youtube classic, which pretty much means you're a G.

From his obviously self-written Wikipedia:
"Hertzfeldt is an artist with anti-corporate leanings and in appearances has often told the humorous story of how he was tempted to produce the worst possible cartoons he could come up with for the companies, make off with their money, and see if they would actually make it to air. Eventually this became the germ for Rejected's theme of a collection of cartoons so bad they were rejected by advertising agencies, leading to their creator's breakdown."
