Demented Daddy Dexter is raising his eyebrows at you, baby

Every time I watch Showtime’s stop-motion-animated promo for the fourth season of Dexter, Septembter 27 seems a bit closer than it did before. Technically, I suppose it is. I’d like to think I’m not alone. COMPLETELY ALONE. Whatever. Press play for a boppy alternative to this other official season 4 promo featuring real humans. (The song used below — The Polyamorous Affair’s “Private Life” — has the perfect “haunting/Miami” vibe for this, right?)

Love the burger. And the wriggling plastic-wrapped victim at 1:03 calls to mind delicious, liver-tinged memories of America’s Next Top Doll‘s infamous “Organ Grinder” pho-toh shoot. I strongly suspect that the evil genius behind Demented Daddy Dexter is a fan of EW.com.

How are you whittling away the hours before Sept. 27′s premiere? Yes, I did mean to say “whittle.” How is your knife doing?

      Dear Management,
      If you were not able to read the above post, then I suggest that send yourself to the nearest campus and register for ESL 101. Thank you.

      Popwatch is a blog. She can write however the hell she wants. And I love it.

        Rules of grammar still apply, goofball.

      Management: You are so absolutely right. This kind of writing is irritating and incomprehensible. The idiot, Vivi, that tells you to take ESL 101 is racist. What the H+ll does ESL have to do with it? Better you should enroll in How to Write like a Moron class.

    Mmkay… Well I liked the animation, I felt it really captured MCH’s likeness. I’m just a bit conflicted about how they’re turning ‘Dexter’ into a caricature w/promos like this, the toys and Comic Con appearances. And I get it; everybody wants to tap into that exposure, but it still kinda rubs me the wrong way.
    Oh yeah, I’ve been whittling away by watching Season 3 reruns.. can’t wait for the premiere.

      I hear that Season 4 has been playing on YouTube already. I can hardly wait to see what new cosmetic procedures Julie Benz has had in the off-season. She doesn’t look or act anything like vulnerable, lovable Rita from Season 1.

    With the animation, I was expecting “Money For Nothing”
