This one probably has the highest production value of them all.
Newgrounds superhero creator 2.0 series#
So Icebox is BACK UP…someone setup a WP blog and assigned each series to a category. There are many more excellent series-es… es(?)…. I personally recommend “Starship Regulars,” I’m fairly certain it’s safe for work, it was initially scripted for network TV…”s_t” and “f_k” are substituted with futuristic terms, so it works.
The dead-serious-severity in the voice of the older brother as he warns his black friend not to touch his sister and the BLAST against the French is daring and thought-provoking social satire…especially the ironic use of a laugh track when the jokes are at their most brutal not even 500 views yet.!… a nd now you know why the French kiss you twice! This was what he showed me….btw did I mention all the content is # NSFW? … I didn’t? Ok….well… it’s not…if you haven’t been fired yet let’s move on…sorry about that. The gay jokes are hysterical, Reiss branched off from The Simpsons as he was growing sick of the media’s portrayal of homosexuals, though he is not HIMSELF gay…at all.he’s Jewish, like me…and we have a tendency to come to the aid of oppressed groups particularly those known to have an artistic gift (women, blacks and gays!) by promoting them… and taking our cut (Naturally…) Here’s episode two I first watched when Reiss gave a seminar at Cal Poly, I interviewed him for the Daily and I asked him to show me the most offensive episode he had in the can so far. Rupaul joined up to write a SWINGIN ‘intro and outro that he sang masterfully. I assure you, episode 1 previously had well-over a million views through Newgrounds and the old version of Icebox.Īnother series that enjoyed commercial success was “Queer Duck,” written by Mike Reiss, voiced by top-of-the-food-chain V/O KING Billy West (he was/is Ren & Stimpy amoung countless others on nearly every successful animated series/movie EVER – The Simpsons, Futurama…you name it).
*scratch that…* “Leftovers part 1,” up for two years, has just over 100 views- I’d like to help him change that:Īs you can see, this series was so good it was picked up by Mondo in 2009 and has nearly a quarter-million views since then. the episodes have so few views…Some episodes of “Superhero Roommate” featuring Brian Posehn…one of my all-time favorite comedians… has barely 200 views since uploading *ahem* Now all the fantastic episodes of SEVERAL brilliant “webtoons” are avail. WP engine: cheap…embedding video through YouTube – free.
This is a common model for modern publishing (I use it myself)… Brilliant, hysterical, edgy and outrageously talented creations are resurrected…thanks to increasingly inexpensive Web-hosting. It’s rough-around the edges but a whole lot better than nothing. On the NEW Icebox, there exists ZERO NEW content, but all the CLASSIC animated series are is posted to an AWFUL WordPress blog (worse than mine) and the vids are hosted on YT- natch.
Icebox went defunct for a spell they are back up though! With the advent of YouTube, animation host Newgrounds faded into the background as well.

Around the turn of the millennium a new technology for animation was born: Flash. With it, an animator needn’t “a sweatshop in Korea with 50 animators working 24/7 at gunpoint ….and chickens running around”-said Mike Reiss, 26-year veteran producer of “The Simpsons”-Reiss is a four-time Emmy-winning producer, He wrote for Johnny Carson and Conan O’Brien in addition to a creator credit for “The Critic,” and scores of children’s novels – notably How Murray Saved Christmas, which NBC/Universal turned into a movie that aired Christmas Day last year to rousing reviews and accolades.įlash can be programmed to do a great deal of the animation itself a golden age of mature-themed animation made it’s way to the Web via Newgrounds and later Icebox.
