Summary
We are introduced to Hattoushin sighing about >>1-san, set to a calming piano tune,3) when >>1-san shows up right in front of him. In response, Hattoushin starts breathing heavily, uttering “haah, haah… today's the day…!” (ハァハァ…、今日こそは…!), then the scene is suddenly interrupted by a scream along with a picture of what appears to be a jagged-teeth zombie with Escher's eyes4) somehow edited onto him.
Transcript

Screamer.
Notes
- The animation is roughly 23 seconds long and, given the format, would start automatically.
-
- At the time, Haruhi Suzumiya was still a light novel, but it is entirely possible that the animation's name is a parody of the first novel, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
- The jumpscare image might possibly stem from the “Isolated Horror Room” (戦慄の隔離部屋, Senritsu no Kakuri Heya), which was a horror-themed GeoCities Japan website.
- If you're morbidly curious about what the aforementioned jumpscare looks like, you can easily find it by looking up the Japanese filename in Google or looking at the Flash file's thumbnail.
