A storm drain overflows onto the highway. Actually doesn't just overflow - A 100-foot geyser erupts from what is supposed to be a drain for removing water from the highway. Obscured by the geyser, a 6-foot wide manhole cover is flung into the air and lands on the hood of a passing pickup truck. After the geyser diminishes we see the truck and its unharmed driver, inspecting the damage. The main reaction to this video when I have shown it to friends is usually a four-letter word. Must see.

This is a strange stop-motion film following illustrations on walls. Although it is not 'tagger style', this film is the pinnacle of graffiti art. The animator would spray paint an object on a wall, film it, then cover up the previous object with white paint and create the next image in his animation. Very organic, which makes it all the more brilliant. It is very strange, showing humanoid creatures with 6 legs, or new creatures growing out of a spine on the ground.
