The story of a town where everything is topsy-turvy. For example, cars drive on the sidewalk while passengers walk in the middle of the road. At the furniture store, there is a 1/2 off sale (meaning all its merchandise is cut in half). At the zoo, the monkeys feed the people peanuts. After a pig is involved in a motorcycle crash, the paramedics take the motorcycle with them and leave him behind! A stork delivers a married couple to an expecting baby! At the Crazytown College, all its students grow up to become street cleaners and at the Crazytown Fite Club, the boxers relax and watch while the spectators brawl! Also, at the Crazytown Race Track, the horses ride the players. Meanwhile, there is a running gag involving a dog trying to build a house but constantly being thwarted. Eventually, his house is built but immediately floods. The Crazytown Fire Department comes to the rescue by spraying his house with fire demolishing it yet again!

This was not particularly funny but it was very clever and thus, interesting to watch. I can't remember any dialog in here, but it wasn't needed.
In "Crazy Town," the pedestrians walk down the middle of the road and the cars are going down the sidewalks. In Crazy Town, weird things are seen, like goldfish driving cars and pigs on motorcycles. One pig gets in a serious accident, the ambulance arrives and the attendants cart away the bike, leaving the victim.
Storks deliver parents to babies. At the train station, the train stays still and the depot leaves! At the racetrack, horses are riding humans....on and on and on. You get the idea. Everything is the opposite and, well, everything is absolutely crazy!
The animation is primitive, but this is pretty cool stuff.
