      couldn't sleep at night, so I often turned on the TV while my parents were sleeping and turned on the discs. That time, I happened to see a few DVDs bought by Laodou. <>, <> is this one.

      So underrated!

      I wanted to be a vulgar comedy to relieve my boredom, but I didn't expect it to be too pleasant. The director hired a lot of good illustrators to squeeze them out as much as possible. He also borrowed from many experimental animations. The form is interspersed intermittently. Shang Hua, a nightmare in a nightmare, the strange thing is that after the protagonist's consciousness was replaced by a monkey, he peeked at his fiancée after taking a bath and wanted to have a relationship with him......

    • Monkeybone: Ladies and Gentlemen, forget about the naked man with the purple face.

    • [Stu goes into a phone booth to call the authorities and report the car crash, unaware that a large red pipe loosened by the crash is starting to tilt over towards the booth]

      Julie: [sees the pipe start to move] Stu!

      [Stu turns around a waves to her, then turns back to the phone as the pipe starts to fall]

      Julie: [screams] STU!

      [Stu waves at her again, and the pipe falls on the booth, putting Stu in a coma]

    • Death: [sitting at the controls of a tower monster] I do like to dress up when I come down town. So, how was she?

      [meaning Julie]

      Stu Miley: [standing on the monster's right hand] She was... she was beautiful. Of course I was decomposing at the time but... at least now she knows how much I love her.

      Monkeybone: [looking nervous] Uh, excuse me, Death... I hate to break up this little love test, but my little bladder is about to burst.

      [Death pulls a lever, and the hand Monkeybone is on swings over Stu]

      Monkeybone: [screams] BUT I'VE *REALLY* GOTTA GO!

      [the hand covers Stu, then rises off him revealing Monkeybone has disappeared]

      Stu Miley: [feeling his head] Where, where's Monkeybone?

      Death: Back in your head where he belongs. I don't wanna hurt your feelings Stu, but on your own you're a tad vinilla, so I didn't want to send you back without him.

      Stu Miley: [surprised] You're wha... did you? You're sending my *back*?

      Death: [sure] Yes. I'm sending you back.

      Stu Miley: Thank you. Death...

      Death: I like you. I'll take the South Park guys instead I hear they're dying to meet me.

      [chuckles]

      Death: Come on Stu. Turn round.

      Stu Miley: [turns around] Like this?

      Death: Yeah, uh-huh.

      [looks up]

      Death: Stu, little higher.

      [Stu steps higher up the palm, and the other hand comes up behind him]

      Death: See ya!

      [the finger springs off the the thumb, sending Stu back]
