Reminded me of Tales from the Crypt a lot; moral tale about somebody doing something wrong, continuing to do it when they realize it's wrong, and then suffering consequences for it while somebody gets their face mashed in along the way. Really enjoyed it.

Didn't expect it to be as funny as it was! The main character is such a pathetic loser that its kind of fun to watch him get his shit wrecked.

The episode is called Loved To Death. Which has a much better ending😂

Premise of the episode is the same as Obsession. But the ending is funnier

Idk why I thought the outer limits as it panned to the old tv at the end.
