Shrink World

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar — YEAH, RIGHT! Not on Shrink World, where the teachings of a time-traveling Sigmund Freud have turned everyone into a mumbling paranoid in need of psychological help!

Sigmund Freud was walking through the streets of Vienna in 1903 when, all of a sudden, a time-traveling telephone booth guided by two slackers from the late 1980s dropped in, lasso'd the eminent psychiatrist and abducted him to the future, but not before stopping off in several other hilarious time periods.

Upon arriving in 1989, Freud was shocked to discover the state of moral and libidinous decay in suburban San Dimas, California. He hit on a woman and was unsuccessful, but after analyzing one of the slackers for his Oedipal complex, Freud returned to 1903 and began a passionate campaign to change the future for the better.

Now, in the present, change has taken place. Freud's campaign to bring psychological issues to the forefront, preventing teenagers from being wacky or wearing highly colorful clothing was successful. The earth is now a drab police state.

In 1996, one psychiatrist was admitted to Gate Haven Mental Hospital after claiming to see people leave that dimension through a sliding tunnel. He was released a few weeks later when surveillance footage from inside the office was revealed to his doctor.
