The new shorts. It's some kind of Lovecraftian mockery.

I thought "pie-eyed" was specifically where there's a triangular "shine"/cutout from the black pupil, like a pie with one slice removed. Your first example has solid black eyes.

Oh boy.

While the art is similar, the animation is quite different (in a very bad way). They are also completely unfunny.
