The Wrong Door: If Terry Gilliam Directed Transformers as a TV Variety Show

Leave it to the BBC to introduce a show about robots attacking humans and generally making a mess of the landscape that’s both funny and tailor-made for the ADHD audience. The Wrong Door is a violent, live-action Robot Chicken prone to the same breezy matter-of-factness that made Terry Gilliam’s Python interludes both funny and horrifying. Check out the clip above, where a computer takes revenge on a frustrated user, and after the jump, where the Soldier Spray cannon reveals a new way to deploy troops in times of need.

Maybe I’m rhapsodizing this a bit early, but there are plenty more clips on YouTube, and if you’re still into it after that, the first full episode is on BBC Three’s video site. (Thanks for keeping it US-friendly, BBC!) Still hungry for more? The show’s own site has some crazy 3D animation worth fiddling with—presumably best under the influence of some sort of mushrooms not generally found in my pantry. [The Wrong Door]
