An animated interpretation of the viral dispatch call of the cop who ate too many pot brownies.

Do you have a hilarious story that just keeps getting funnier/weirder/more unbelievable by the second? Webcam it as a comment below or at http://www.current.com/greatmoments and if we like it, we'll animate it (yup, that means an animated YOU), pay you, and put it on TV!

Don't have a webcam? Call (415) 335-4596 and leave us a voicemail of your story!

I Think I'm Dead

  • That was great animation! I thought this story couldn't get anymore hilarious and you proved me wrong!

  • I love the tone of skepticism in the dispatcher's voice and her "I hate Mondays" cat poster.

    There seems to be a lesson in this call: Your first time out with pot should not be in brownie form. Baby steps. Nothing wrong with baby steps.

  • Hilarious! I love how the animation and the music add to the crazed subject matter.

  • i noticed that at the end we're asked for stories. I have one, and I hope it can be believed because I'd rather not get run over by a car again just to prove a point. That was scary enough when I was 19 months old!

  • Right, normally you wouldn't want to sit through the scratchy audio of a phone recording. But this works! The animated characters in this piece are terrific! I loved the way the animator imagined the wife floating on the ceiling and the couples' pet as a rat. I loved the 911 operator and her fellow operators in the cubicles popping their heads up when he asked about the sports score. What great attention to detail, huh?

    Now this guy's pot panic attack will really live forever!

    The animation really gave this piece a great beginning, middle and end and the use of music was superb. Bravo!

  • Ha! Great animation to a stranger than fiction story! "I think I'm dead!" will be the buzz phrase of 2008.

  • Nice! Much funnier than when people script stoner-paranoia. The dialogue is perfectly incoherent and annoying. Where did you get the audio footage? Current should do a series of these, they're great.

  • I love the moment when he puts his unsuspecting pet rat back (?!) in the jar.

    Ha.

  • GO REDWINGS!!!!

    and bad ass brownies,
    maybe that cop should move to Amsterdam and
    become a multimillionaire chef at the grasshopper.

  • "I think we're Dyeing!" , that line is classic. Can you imagine how you would feel after you came off that high? This guy should never do any drug again. There is no telling what he would have done had they ate mushrooms..... Holy Crap...too funny.
    Love the animation style.

  • wow...im speechless.

  • Well well well, what a funny animantion. However at the same time it scares me. It just really shows how uneducated and immoral cops are. So this cop was either as dump as a brick (well dumber than a brick of marijuana) because he thought that he was going to be the first person to die off of marijuana overdose. But I guess it may be poisioned, probably not. As for the question for his punishment, probably the same thing as when a cop kills or murders an innocent person, suspension with pay which is also known as paid vacation to a normal person. As long as we allow these Neo Nazis to push around with there guns and badges we will never be allowed our god given rights.

  • That was funny! I had a pot brownie once and thought pirates were coming out of the picture of the large ship on the wall.
    This guy should have been arrested though!
    The animation on this video is great.

  • Great job! Hilarious!!!
    MickeyLin
  • This is hilarious! I love the irony of this piece! What 's even crazier about this is that stuff like this goes on all of the time and the law usually does a good job of not letting it leak out! I wouldn't be suprised if the cop and his wife got away with it!

  • Hahaha that was absolutely incredible. I recall hearing about this story but never found it more than mildly amusing, but you really took a simple anecdote and made it into a viable media product. Perfect production in every way, great composition, editing, and amazing use of foley effects. The characters worked seamlessly (a nice effect of using real people) and I really felt pulled into the story.

    Great job.

  • Funny stuff, I love seeing people working with real audio because there is nothing as absurd as real life. Good work with the animation, it really brought it to life.
