    Reminds me of an old flash video by Jim Ether hosted on thefriendsociety called “Don’t touch the pan.” It lasted about 5 seconds, looped, and is no longer available for our viewing pleasure, but it was scripted as thus:

    Person 1: “Don’t touch the pan! The pan’s hot.”
    Person 2: “I’m going to touch the pan.”
    Person 2 touches the pan.
    Person 2 screams in agonizing pain at probably 10x decibels louder than the rest of the speech.
