The flavor text is amusing because of the "Gotcha" mechanic from the unhinged set. 'Save', 'kill', 'spell', 'deal', and 'guy' all trigger "Gotcha" effects from other cards.

I knew someone had to make a storm crow refrence for this guy. I mean he is almost a clone of stormcrow if it wasn't for his +1 power and of course his funky ability.

The ability is good for annoying your opponent into actually using a kill spell on him.

I wonder how often people will draw a card before saying the flavor text.

Of course he's playable! He has 2 cmc!

Now imagine a situation when a player has all of the Gotcha spells in his/her grave and the other guy has this.
"Save—"
"GOTCHA!"
"a kill—"
"GOTCHA!"
"spell—"
"GOTCHA!"
"to deal—"
"GOTCHA!"
"with this guy."
"GOTCHA!"
Although you will probably forget to say the flavor text during one of your turns more times than not.
And it does trigger almost every "gotcha" ability in the set.
But who cares? At least you can annoy your opponent into using a kill spell, if not deal some damage!
4/5
According to the rules listed in this link, this card is useless for those with speech impediments.
Ironically, some of the the gotcha rules are still okay in sign language.

There are carnivorous parrots. That molest and kill livestock. Accidental flavor overload (as if the car wasn't cool enough...)
