Video: 'Le Café,' a French Animation About Coffee Addiction
Le Café by French band Odelaf & Monsieur D. tells the tale of a man who starts his day off with a nice cup of coffee. Then adds another cup. And another. And...another. And with each new cup of coffee he drinks, a little bit of his brain is destroyed until he dissolves into a complete lunatic. If you can relate to this story, you might need to cut down on your coffee consumption.
Watch the madness unfold in this animated video directed by Stephanie Marguerite and Emilie Tarascou of the Art School of Angouleme (EMCA), after the jump.

French animation is often a delight. If you liked this one, you will love Les Triplettes de Belleville.
While not about food per se there is a great deal of fun poked at people who eat too much.

That is awesome. I also recommend the Triplets of Belleville, and all the Oscar-nominated shorts from 2009.

I'm amazed it took this site 2-3 years to notice this video, since it's garnered thousands of YouTube votes since 2007:

Well, the folks at Serious Eats have actual jobs to attend to, so they can't be expected to devote as much attention to YouTube as you do.
