An episode of the comedic You Suck at Photoshop series in which Donnie Hoyle teaches distort, warp and layer effects while vandalizing a Vanagon in the image. It won Webby awards as a how-to and comedy series.
Why Hacker News points people here: Recommended as a classic, funny Photoshop tutorial series with a strong comedic personality.

Something not really mentioned in the article is that Portal is very funny. The voice of Glados is constantly messing with you: asking you to bring your daughter to work with you for testing over the acid pits, lying to you about obvious things, etc. This personality and sense of humor helps drive things forward and keeps you entertained while you're fiddling with what are essentially logic puzzles. I've never really seen a website or app pull off humor to the level that Portal achieves. The closest thing I can think of would be something like the "You Suck at Photoshop" tutorials on YouTube: this video

At the beginning he says something like "this is basic to intermediate, but for you this is going to be stupid hard", which is from the first (?) YSAP, "Distort, Warp, & Layer Effects" [1]. [1] this video
