Happy Fingers
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 21:40:34 +0000 UTCDr Terwilliker marveled at his newest creation. His previous plan to use 500 snot-nose brats to play his gigantic piano was a complete flop. Instead of relying on such unreliable human power, the mad doctor opted for something much simpler. 5,000 obedient mechanized fingers, all ready to follow his whims.
"This is my day! 5,000 little fingers, all playing together on my piano! Every finger obedient to the whim of me, the master!" bellowed the triumphant doctor. "Every infinitesimal, microscopic piece of living tissue of those 5,000 little fingers, cringing and trembling and groveling before me! Before me, Dr. Terwilliker, as I raise my baton! We shall play the most beautiful piece ever written! I wrote it, 'Happy Fingers!' Now then, a one, and a two, and a three, and a play!
And with that, the 5,000 fingers began tickling the ivories, producing endless harmonies for the giddy doctor. But ivories weren't the only thing getting tickled today. The cruel Dr Terwilliker had also secured one of his henchman to the machine. He had caught the lazy henchman slacking off on his duties and knew this would be the best punishment for him. Now the henchman's wild laughter mixed with the frantic piano music, creating a symphonic masterpiece.

Since I'm sure most people will have no idea what this reference is, I came across a video the other week talking about this movie, The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953). It was written by Dr Seuss, so it's a pretty wacky tale. But I really enjoyed the villain and thought he would make a really good tickle fiend.

Oh interesting, maybe Simpsons got the name from this movie

I love the name you chose for this Doctor. I remembered that this is Sideshow Bob’s last name from The Simpsons. I immediately thought of Sideshow Bob using tickling to try to kill Bart, and it got me giggly with hope that maybe someone might draw some fan art of this.

That hat definitely needs to be used for tickles, like why else would he have it!

Free idea for you: Have henchmen strung up above Dr. T in such a way that his hat and feathers tickle them as he walks by/works beneath them.
