* CallBack: The part where Slab and Ernie "touch tips" (bump their groins into each other) is a callback to an extremely infamous short that they previously starred in, ''What Pee Boners Are For''. %% NOTICE: Do NOT link to "What Pee Boners Are For". It has explicit nudity that violates the site's content guidelines.

''Cans Without Labels'' is a crowdfunded cartoon created by Creator/JohnKricfalusi (of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' fame) that was in production for much of the 2010s and released in 2019.

The Website/{{Kickstarter}} project for the short was [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1056985656/john-ks-cans-without-labels/description launched on July 18, 2012]] and ended on August 17, exceeding its goal by having made $136,723. The estimated competition date was February 2013, but this deadline came and went. And so months pass. [[DevelopmentHell Then years]]. ''Cans Without Labels'' would come to be seen as yet another example of Kricfalusi's failure to meet his own deadlines, with both this and his failure to repay all of the backers generally [[OvershadowedByControversy discussed more]] than what little of the short itself was completed. Kricfalusi would later announce that the short was finally completed in August 2017, but it wouldn't be released to backers until May 2019 two years later.[[note]]Well, the ones that had the tiers with the DVD, anyway.[[/note]]

''Cans Without Labels'' is a crowdfunded cartoon created by Creator/JohnKricfalusi (of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]]'' fame) that was in production for much of the 2010s and released in 2019.

The cartoon stars George Liquor (American) and his nephews Ernie and Slab, who had previously starred in Kricfalusi's web series ''WebAnimation/TheGoddamnGeorgeLiquorProgram''. In this outing, Ernie and Slab are having lunch and inquire as to what all the cans on the table are. George explains that they are cans without labels, which he buys cheap. Things go south when the kids discover how disgusting the contents of the cans are; specifically, a can that Uncle George claimed to be beef stew actually has a human face inside of it. George insists on making them eat it anyway (despite their extreme desire not to do so), and after a fit of anger, he goes off to take a bathroom break, warning his nephews that "that face better be gone" when he gets back. The rest of the short is spent on Slab and Ernie trying to find ways to get rid of the face without eating it.

* FanDisservice: On his way back from the bathroom, George took off his belt to threaten his nephews with his pants sagging to his ankles in the back, giving the viewer plenty of time to stare at his bare ass as he shuffles along. After noticing the face in the can is gone, he drops his pants entirely during a surpise-take.

* SceneryCensor: Due to taking off his belt to threaten his nephews, George spends the last minute or so of the short naked from the lower half with the table and cans blocking his shame from view.
