It must be, because there’s really no other explanation as to why this by-all-rights innocuous video of a British kid insistently asking sheep if they like broccoli seems to take on such a disturbingly surreal undertone.
Well, probably it’s a number of factors: In addition to the calm, insistent British child, you have the nonplussed reaction of the sheep at around 0:22, which is about the point when you realize that the sheep possibly has a better understanding of what’s going on here than you do. And there’s also the random outburst of running and unintelligible yelling at the end, which suggests a sort of Blair Witch: English Moors feel. Or maybe it’s because the whole thing somehow reminds us of “Salad Fingers”:
