Yeah, I think so. I got over my fear of the bat puppets though.

Anyway. My friend vaguely recalls an animated sketch from the mid 90s where there's this creepy fiery humanoid counting backwards in Spanish. He says he may have dreamed it, but he isn't sure.
A fiery humanoid? Like Ghost Rider? That actually sounds kinda cool

I used to love them as a kid, but for some reason I feel kind of disturbed by the William Wegman dogs now. It's probably because of the creepy voice narrating over them more so than the dogs themselves
The narrator is actually William himself.

He narrated all of the segments, while two humans provided the hands for the dogs.
The dogs are adorable, but it's the guy's voice and the lack of background music that makes the skits a bit unnerving in my opinion. Sometimes the lack of background music and/or a laugh track will make a skit with narration somewhat creepier.

I want to see the creepy whistling mouth segment just to see if it's really scary or not.
