Remember those animated sketches that had no apparent meaning?
1. A series of white circles appearing from left to right on a dark background, then appearing for the next row below until the whole screen was filled. With each dot's appearance was a snare drum beat with a fife-like note, the effect being a distinct melody throughout the sequence. There were a number of variations on this animation, like where one of the dots "burns out", or the last dot refuses to show up. A very rare version had mutant squares showing up from the bottom right.
2. A "dark" animation of a forlorn black circle approaching, from the right, what appears to be the edge of a mountain. The circle made an intermittent squeaking sound as it moved (though it made a "boing" sound if it bounced). The circle seemed like it was trying to get around the mountain, but never could. Though one day a different circle managed to "Pac-Man" his way through the mountain, which then crashed down on the passageway he made.
