Untimely Toy Deaths

'Mr. Potato Dead' Shows the End of the Road for MPH

Creepy and made for inexplicable reasons, 'Mr. Potato Dead' by Ron Gervais shows us how Mr. Potato Head spends his last day on the planet. Like ‘Toy Story’ gone manic-depressive, 'Mr. Potato Dead' shows MPH (easier to write and sounds much more hardcore that way) being murdered by his fellow toys—pinata style.

Fortunately, Buzz and Woody are nowhere to be found, but you can see the rest of the toy box killers at the link below.
