How it feels

A dull-witted white trash man goes through his daily routines with his frazzled wife and squeaky-voiced child. The animation style is intentionally crude and the content is absurd.

What happens

DumbLand is an adult animated web series created and voiced by director David Lynch that was commissioned by gaming and entertainment website Shockwave.com in 2000. After the dot-com bubble burst, the episodes were eventually released through Lynch's website in 2002, and were released as a DVD on March 28, 2006. The total running time of all eight episodes is 33 minutes, 28 seconds. The series details the daily routines of a dull-witted white trash man. The man lives in a house along with his frazzled wife and squeaky-voiced child, both of whom are nameless as is the man in the shows. Lynch's website, however, identifies the male character by the name Randy and the child by the name Sparky. The wife is not named. The style of the series is intentionally crude both in terms of presentation and content, with limited animation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
