'''Technique:''' Simple computer animation.
'''Technique:''' CGI.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A condensed version of the "Weird Al" Yankovic song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJT8lE232IA "Bite Me"]. It consists of several synth shattering effects, a cacophony of loud guitars, and Weird Al screaming incomprehensibly at the top of his lungs.

'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' "Bite Me" originally appeared at the end of the CD version of Weird Al's album ''Off the Deep End'' as a hidden track, designed to scare listeners who forgot to turn the CD off and thus were unaware that the song was coming after 10 minutes of silence. It is a parody of the Nirvana song "Endless, Nameless", which appeared at the end of their landmark album ''Nevermind'' (with its album cover and hit single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" parodied as "Smells Like Nirvana" on the aforementioned Weird Al album) and similarly featured scary-sounding music (though, arguably not as sudden).

'''Availability:''' Rare overall, but extinct on TV. Seen on ''The Weird Al Show''. It made a surprise reappearance on ''"Weird Al" Yankovic Live!: The Alpocalypse Tour''.

'''Legacy:''' This logo has a reputation as one of the scariest logos on television due to the flashing lights, cacophonous music, and it originally following a show that was meant for ''children''. As mentioned above, the music was originally created to scare the living '''daylights''' out of people (albeit as a joke), and the flashing lights added to that.
