If you can explain why the series counts, then yes.
However, to me, the whole series doesn't really count as Mind Screw. Mind Screw is for when there's weird absurdism going on without a clear explanation, or things just happen without a cause. While the general premise of the show is weird, there is a clear plot and things do have explanations behind them (F is kidnapping the specific letters in "FRIENDS" because he wants his friends back, for example). Maybe some parts of the series could count, but not the whole.
However, I could be wrong. If you could explain why you think it counts, then feel free to add it.
It could also count as a Quirky Work. (however, that's YMMV, so don't add it to the main page)

well, animated alphabet letters can already count as both this and Quirky Work (YMMV), though part of it is {Justified|Trope}. However, it still is weird, especially the fact that F kills H with no explanation and F [[Body Horror|mutilates P and forces G to kill her]], also [[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|without explanation.]]
Those seem more like For the Evulz (or some other related trope) to me, not necessarily Mind Screw.
And Anthropomorphic Typography is itself a trope, and not all examples of that trope are Mind Screw.
At the very least, Alphabet Lore is a downplayed example. It may take a few watch-throughs to get, but it's not unreasonably confusing.

I think it could be considered a Quirky Work then.
This deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.
Should Mind Screw be added to the main page? The whole series can count as Mind Screw.
