- TriviaThe episode 'Frowning Friends' had a very troubled production and was the last to be finished, which resulted in several humorous oddities such as Mr. Man's head shifting into D.J. Spit's head at the end of his scene as the creators couldn't figure out how to end the scene and the Renaissance Men were a very late addition as a way to kill off Grim and Gnarly. Also, D.J. Spit was originally going to have visible pubic hair due to his low pants, but this was erased by the censors in the broadcast version. Zach Hadel said that if he had the time to figure out who had censored the hair, he would have credited them as 'digital pube remover' in the episode's credits.
Featured review
a Tour de force by guest actor Mike Stoklasa
An amazing piece of animation that highlights the philosophical absurdities of life in the style of the great French philosopher Albert Camus.
The crude amateur animation is actually a veiled commentary on society's crude obsession with transient pleasures which we oftentimes define to be the goals of our life and not simply a passing fad.
Finally, the voice performance of legendary actor Mike Stoklasa blew me over. He has channeled the persona of his iconic creation, the fictional film critic Mr. Plinkett, into the character of Desmond and the result just screams perfection. That deep sagacious voice truly resonates with the absurdist notions of life as projected by this cartoon.
I am interested in more future episodes and I really hope they bring Mr. Stoklasa back for more side cameos.
