Cyanide & Happiness Shorts Season 2 Episode 9 Public Bathroom

In Cyanide & Happiness Shorts season 2 episode 9 titled "Public Bathroom," the gang is back with their signature dark humor and twisted take on everyday situations. This episode focuses on the horrors of using public restrooms, a relatable experience for anyone who has ever had to go while out in public.

The episode begins with a man walking into a seemingly empty public restroom. As he goes about his business, he notices that each stall has something off-putting about it - one has an overflowing toilet, another has a broken lock, and so on. Despite these warning signs, the man decides to take his chances and chooses a stall that seems to be the least offensive.

However, things quickly take a turn for the worse as the man discovers that he's not alone in the restroom. In fact, the other occupant is none other than Death himself, who is taking a break from his grim duties to use the facilities. The man is understandably freaked out by this unexpected guest, but Death assures him that there's nothing to worry about - after all, he's just a regular guy like everyone else. The man tries to play it cool, but he can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right.

As the two men finish their business, the man goes to wash his hands and Death follows suit. But when Death reaches for the soap dispenser, he accidentally knocks it off the wall and it shatters on the floor. The man tries to help clean up the mess, but he quickly realizes that he's made a terrible mistake. In the chaos of the soap dispenser falling, he accidentally knocked over Death's scythe, which was leaning against the wall. Before he knows it, Death is lying on the ground, impaled by his own weapon.

The man is beside himself with panic and guilt, but in the end, there's nothing he can do. Death is dead, and there's no going back. The man is left to ponder the fragility of life and the strange twists of fate that can happen in even the most mundane of places. As he exits the restroom, he notices a large gathering of emergency personnel outside, which he assumes is a coincidence. Little does he know, they're all there for him - he's just caused one of the most bizarre and unexpected deaths in history.

"Public Bathroom" is a typical Cyanide & Happiness Shorts episode in that it takes a mundane situation and twists it into something darkly comedic and unexpected. The use of Death as a character is a clever nod to the grim humor that is often associated with the show. The animation is simple but effective, with exaggerated facial expressions and angles that highlight the absurdity of the situation. The humor is definitely not for everyone, as it leans into the macabre and often takes things to a disturbing extreme. However, for fans of the show, "Public Bathroom" will be another satisfying addition to the series.
