6 Disturbing Pieces Of Fan Art That Will Melt Your Brain

And then there's Professor Farnsworth, who looks like the embalmed corpse of steampunk Christopher Plummer. Which isn't good news for anyone.

And if you thought that was the most upsetting mask, meet live-action Dr. Zoidberg. The beloved animated crustacean becomes a Cronenbergian nightmare creature whose eyes betray an unspoken lust for the sweet release of death.

Still, you can't fault the filmmakers behind the project, as they faithfully imitated a cartoon that was never intended to be dragged into the harsh spotlight of reality.

... shirtless dudes painted green parading through parking lots with a dead-eyed nightmare version of Donkey ...

... awkward puppet shows ...

... and, well, whatever the hell this is:

All of which may seem jarring and unpleasant, but it's surprisingly slightly more watchable than the original (due to the noticeable absence of Smash Mouth).

We then meet Mario and Luigi, who are unclogging filthy toilets when they aren't kicking ass.

They eventually meet Princess Peach at some kind of underground fight club -- which may have happened in Super Mario 2, it's hard to remember.

This paves the way for an epic final battle in which they have to strangle Wario to death.

And Luigi goes apeshit with a giant Gatling gun.

Yes, it's insane, needlessly bloody, and features mustaches so fake you can almost hear Sam Elliott weeping. But what would you rather watch: Mario Warfare, or a movie where Mario fights fascist dinosaurs led by King Koopa and his raging coke habit?

At least they finally delivered on the "show about nothing" premise.

Then as the show progressed, things got ... grim. If you thought the Seinfeld finale was a bummer, at least it didn't end with Jerry flatlining in a hospital bed, followed by a despondent George guzzling rat poison and locking hands with his dying friend.

Keep in mind, this was just the penultimate episode. The final entry in The Jerry Seinfeld Program was literally nothing but a silent, prolonged shot of George and Jerry's corpses.

Of course, if we were going to off Jerry Seinfeld, choking on a bag of airline peanuts has a certain O. Henry-like irony. But then again, who are we to judge?

We're not exactly sure what's happening here. Presumably, Mike and Sully discovered that Monstropolis is best powered not by the screams or laughter of children, but by the discomfort and confusion of the internet.

In another video, Mike and Sully make a bunch of money selling T-shirts. Soon it's raining dollar bills, one of which cuts their friend Roz's wrist.

Which causes them to almost drown in her blood.

Other Turtle-related fan projects seem a bit trickier. Like, apparently it's tough to stage fight scenes dressed in a homemade Raphael costume.

The parodies may even be creepier. For instance, there's the comedy short The Turtles, which reimagines April O'Neil as a stripper and one of the Turtles as a leering patron. And here you were thinking Michael Bay was going to ruin your childhood.

Then there's the webseries, April And Splinter, which finds the titular ace reporter and filthy mutant rat hanging out in the Turtles' absence. In one episode they decide to throw a dinner party, and April gets grossed out that Splinter's tossing the salad with his rat hands.
