I need to learn to stop communicating in such a whack-a-doodle-doo fashion, but pretending to be a derangement is too enjoyable for me to give it up.

Occasionally animated videos for sufferers of melancholy since 2006.

Chris Lyons, better known as Chriddof, is an English avant-gardist who specializes in absurdism, although he'll periodically delve into surrealism when he feels like being serious. He's best known for his bizarre and rather lengthy filmography, but he also composes, writes, draws, and other things.

Common themes in his work include politics, religion, the human body, analog media, and English history.

He is notorious for his tendency to change accounts entirely, often shutting down the whole operation and relocating all of his accounts. Currently, the only constant is that his own webpage often stays intact.

Chriddof provides examples of the following tropes:

"Yes, I realise that. But when she cut off his penis, two more grew in its place, and when she cut those off, four more grew in their place, and then she cut those off, and by the time she was discovered he had a bush of penises."
