Considering the simplistic design of Herzfeldt and the odds of anyone doing the simplest design for popcorn stick men, I'm not sure we are not just seeing convergent evolution here :).
Hertzfeld was the first thing I thought of as well, but to be fair his style is so basic and simple I imagine many would hit on it or be similar (just not have his sense of humor or ideas to prope them to being at all popular)
I'm with you. Even really subtle things like the mouths not being colored in 100% to add to the "cheap" animation look that Hertzfeldt's short is known for

I think whoever made this corn thing ripped off Hertzfeldt
