Presenting the Animazement 2010 Hell playlist! Thanks to Phil, David, Cameron, and Chris for making it happen.
01 - "Fiesta Hippie" by Les Ballets Jackson (NSFW) - This is an example of a Scopitone, which was a 16mm film jukebox that was popular in the 50s and 60s. This is also an example of what drugs did to the 60s and how it affected the French more than the rest of us.
02 - Charlton Heston on Movie Ratings - 'Nuff said.
03 - A Life of Ninja - Wherein we learn that ninja are a Chinese innovation.
04 - Michael Quest III - Wherein we pay tribute to the dead by watching their video game sprite do battle with Famicom games.
05 - The Legend of Koizumi Episode 1 - A sneak preview of the special negotiating techniques that Japan will use to solve the current Korean crisis.
06 - Kure Kure Takora Episode 130 - Wherein everybody's favorite greedy octopus decides to take up medicine and things quickly plummet downhill.
07 - Usavich Episode 15 - In this episode, everyone's favorite convict rabbits are on the lam and on the road. Then the Commies show up.
08 - Captain Fathom - We switch back over to the wonders of American animation with this shining example of the artform, courtesy of the creepy-mouthed people who brought you Clutch Cargo. In this thrilling installment, not even Alex Toth character designs can add excitement to an inexplicable duel between Captain Fathom and his arch-nemesis.
09 - The Coolest People In Town - A quick theatrical advertisement reminding everyone that they're sitting in cool, air-conditioned comfort.
10 - The Bodyguard (NSFW) - VIVA! CHIBA! VIVA! CHIBA!
11 - "Aye" by Dio (ft. Sef) - The Dutch have invented time travel, but they only use it to send their rappers back to the year 1985.
12 - Christoph Waltz on "Der Humpink" - Continuing in a musical vein, we learn about Waltz's career defining moment.
13 - Lucky Seven - You may not know that, in addition to ninja, the Chinese are also pioneers in the field of beating the hell out of little kids.
14 - The finale to Tiger on the Beat - Two words: Chainsaw kung-fu.
15 - Smokey the Bear and Joanna Cassidy - The most terrifying public service announcement you'll ever see.
16 - Cautious Twins - Continuing in the PSA vein, an important lesson in safety about two children who live in the pedophile capital of the world.
17 - Michael Forever - The winner of the evening's most inappropriate transition award gives us yet another epic battle between the Moonwalker sprites and all the Famicom games you could want. Unfortunately, when shown at Hell there was a bizarre audio glitch that we still don't understand, but hopefully some of the magic was able to shine through.
18 - The Mashin' of the Christ - COMMUNISM IS GOOD!
19 - "Gorbachov" by ANJ - On the other hand, maybe there's something to be said for capitalism after all.

21 - Usavich Episode 18 - Still on the run, still grooving to the beat.

24 - Chatterbox (NSFW) - No, seriously, not safe for work. Ahem.
25 - Smithfield Barbecue Beef - A proud sponsor of Hell. Mmmmm, delicious!
26 - I Am So Proud Of You - The finale to this year's Hell was Don Hertzfeldt's latest film, the second part in a trilogy that began with Everything Will Be Okay. You want to go buy both flicks on DVD directly from Don right away.
