Samesies. And I've watched and enjoyed a number of horror movies during the "gorn" era off the success of Saw. I've tried a number of times and understand it's not for me. I also don't like the Itchy & Scratchy show on the Simpsons.
I still can't believe someone at Netflix thought it was a good idea to put this show on their platform...
Netflix was (still is) exactly the platform to ignore the MPAA
Netflix execs don’t have brains, lol
There's people who don't know what this is?
[raises hand]
Indeed there are, and I'm not going to poison my search history by looking it up either.
I'll save you a search.
It's a bunch of cartoon animals murdering each other in super torturous, grotesque ways.
Very often accidentally!
this was peak college in my time, and HTF was fking hilarious. it was this and Strong Bad. such good times.
TROGDOR!
CONSUMMATE Vs! I SAID CONSUMMATE!
Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face.
Good choice
Na na, na na na 🎶
It stopped you binge watching I swear, show after show fine, but na na, na na na slowly wore you down.
You'd think this show would be a telltale reminder not to leave your kids unsupervised on the internet but I still remember watching this randomly as a kid and being horrified
Not really my thing, but this is one of the few shows that you can find released as in .swf format. I wish some of the other stuff by Mondo was (such as Dr. Tran which is 360p/480p etc on YT, though some effects make me think they might've composited it in AE or something).
Would be neat for the broadcast shows were made in Flash, but that's less likely as I'm sure someone would need to leak it.
I have the swf files and one of the amazing things about it being vector drawings is they scale to currently size displays and resolutions so they never look old.
I mean yeah that's why I brought it up (specifically mentioning the non-swf resolution being inadequate). But also they are significantly less data as well, even for short animations vs modern video codecs. I wouldn't doubt that an entire show in swf could be less data than 1 episode in an old format at 240p.
Like Homestar Runner is ~330MiB for 9* years of content as a collection of .SWFs (a quick search on YT gives a 9 hour video for just the "main" animations listing a bunch of exclusions and it was uploaded last year in only 480p, another person uploaded just the Strong Bad emails and that's 10 hours and they also went with 480p). Though it's a bit of a shame the offline archive is so disjointed (especially when the interactive menus were part of the charm), though that is a side-effect of it being a rolling website rather than a singular flash file for each season-like era (maybe someone could smash them together somehow?).
EDIT: Also a large chunk of that ~330MiB is probably audio (possibly improved with better codecs). Not sure how much redundant data there is from it being ~500 files.
*= I guess it's actually still running (including swf files on the wiki), but 2000-2009 is the archive I have. And I notice now the site is actually running ruffle now (choppy audio though, and load times are slower than using Flash standalone).
God, I loved Dr. Tran. I haven't seen that name mentioned in a hot minute.
Moms! Bring your newborn babies. I will pick up a brick, and hit your newborn baby with that brick. Come anytime! We will not run out of bricks.
Leland sure does love his vapor trails.
I'm suddenly hungry for hickory-smoked horse buttholes.
This is one of the very, very few shows that I've ever laughed myself sick watching. I usually hate comedy, and this hits that perfect blend of comedy and horror.
Hands down one of the most horrifyingly violent things I’ve ever watched. Good times.
25 years old this year
I didn’t watch it at the start but in middle school I was at someone’s house watching them on the computer and they put this on
Looks interesting. I would have hoped it is a collection of hilarious cartoons where these characters get killed in various ways and blue moose′s name is Lumpy. Since it's probably some dumb kids show instead, I will not bother looking it up.
I vividly remember this episode, a bit surprised all their stuff is in YouTube. Fond memories of this one as well.
Such a good show. I've watched this with my son since he was like 4.
Damn lol that show was almost too much for me at like 10, let alone 4
Your warning's bad and you should feel bad.
