Bob's Birthday (1994)

Maybe don't watch this if you've a phobia about dentists! The eponymous man is promised a birthday curry by his wife, but he's not so very keen. As "Margaret" sits at home carefully creating the kebabs, he is at work using his weapons of torture on his unwitting patient. There's a great poster on the wall saying "Just Say No!" - it's about not eating fruit but it could just easily work warning of the industrial scale flossing that ensues before the reluctant "Bob" heads home for his special treat. Rarely can an animation have picked a collection of subjects that trigger a grimace from me so effectively. From the imaginary smell of a dental drill to the perils of an ill-judged conversation when the house is full of... surprises. The last five minutes really do make your eyes water... This is great fun!
