The Kitchen Wall Hallucination is a recurring visual effect that occurs when a stoned character is confronted in the kitchen. The effect is seen from the point of view of the intoxicated character, and involves the kitchen wall moving about in the background while foreground characters remain stable.
Variations of the effect involve characters' heads expanding or floating about, and other types of visual distortion.
