    I can’t believe I’m defending this, but at least it’s the only educational film I’ve seen where the other characters are genuinely annoyed by the protagonist’s obsession with the subject of the video.
    It really should’ve ended with him getting checked into an institution and remarking that the lock to his room wouldn’t work without springs as his wife tearfully says goodbye.

    I have a feeling that Golf with Spring-Loving Gilbert would be a lot like playing with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
    "You see, although the ball appears solid and quite hard, it is in fact highly flexible...we call it elastic...and the club deforms the ball by pumping kinetic energy into it, enough to bounce off the club head, fly through the air, and onto the green, in accordance with Newtonian law. The green, by the way, is not actually green. It 'appears' green because green is the only color in the visible spectrum the chlorophyll in the grass does not absorb. Unless you were a bee, and could see into the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. The carbon fiber in a modern club is..."

      The human body couldn't function without springs. Every organ in the human body has to expand and retract like a spring in order to function properly. Without springs, skin would tear at the slightest disturbance, muscles and tendons can't control movement, brains and nerves can't transmit information, lungs can't breathe, stomachs can't hold anything, anuses can't close, penises can't erect, vaginas would all be loose and flappy, and hearts can't pump blood.

    Well, in the moral tradition of "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a
    Wonderful Life", here's "Spring Fever". Be careful what you wish for, and
    be thankful for what you have, because you never know when some sprite
    or spirit will come and take it away...

    This short was supposed to air in season 3. In fact, the host segment where Crow plays the whimsical waffle who shows Servo a world without waffles was based on this short, according to Bill Corbett. Bill may have joined late in the series, but he had the funniest riffs,and his Crow was just ad funny as Trace's(he also has the best riffs for Rifftrax).

    "Come back, springs! Come back!"
    Gilbert has learned his lesson and pleads for his wish for a world completely devoid of springs to be reversed.
    Coily, a malevolent god, cares not for his underling's grievances and leaves him to rot in this spiralless universe that which he has brought upon himself.
    Gilbert, utterly devastated by Coily's inhumane punishment, reaches into his desk drawer and pulls out his .38 Special revolver.
    "Goodbye, cruel world," he mutters as he places the tip of the gun's barrel on his temple and pulls the trigger.
    Click.
    He inspects his weapon before attempting to take his own life once more.
    Click.
    Dread flows through his body and soul as the evil pixie taunts him forever more.
    "No springs!"

    Wait, wouldn't "Coily" have seriously injured and potentially killed a whole bunch of people on the planet by suddenly removing all springs? Think of all the planes and cars that crashed when that bastard removed the springs needed for things like the pedals on a car or the landing gear on a plane, all because some overweight guy was moaning about the springs in his sofa.
