Skit about afterlife animal selection from @dangerbean_55

The creator plays two roles: a guide at a 'Reincarnation Station' and a recently deceased soul. The guide presents various animal reincarnation options, categorized by type (fish, birds, mammals, reptiles), while the soul asks clarifying questions about lifespan, abilities, and lifestyle, only to be met with unappealing or restricted choices based on his past life's 'morality score'.

Transcript excerpt

Oh, hi there. Welcome to the reincarnation station. What? See, what happened was you were a human on Earth and you passed away, and now you get to choose what you wanna come back bad.

There's a whole lot of stuff in tier, but generally, it's all the fuzzy options. Or reptiles. Not a lot of people choose reptiles, but there is some fun stuff in there. Okay. What lives the longest? Actually, my number one piece of advice for people is don't choose things. Live longer. Because, like, if you're a Greenland shark and you don't like it, then you're kinda stuck like that for five hundred years. What do you got that can fly?
