Kudos to the animation illustrator [0]. See also [1]. I'm collecting these for reasons.

That particular guy appears to have a knack for geometry, 4-dimensionality and hyperbolic spaces. Topics that I feel like I have a foot in from watching my favorite Parker square videos...

The animation appears to be missing some frames, at the point where the couch starts to turn.

Someone with a moderate amount of time on their hands could probably patch it by mirroring frames from the end of the turn.
