Share Collapse

Dave is getting paid the big bucks and wants to show-off his new digs. The only problem is that someone else is already doing it for him.

"Wweeelll... the young prince has arrived."
My favorite line.

"It does what it is told.. or it gets the hose."
Was that dialogue inspired from Silence of the Lambs?

Love the opening and ending sequence.
Amazing as always.
I'm always looking forward to next episode:)

Very nice. I thought it looked very professional. The voice acting is great, the music is solid and the storyline could literally go almost anywhere. 'Are they in an alternate timeline?' 'How will they react to more videos of themselves?' 'Does Dave REALLY have a downtown condo?' When will these quaetions be answered? Please tell us!

i can see your intensely influenced by current cartoon network standards.... so its really... hit or miss. i can't really say which this is....

ThriftVideo responds:

Actually, the truth is that none of the creators have ever animated anything before and we wanted a simplistic and almost purposefully flawed-looking aesthetic. In other words, if the animation looked too good, we wouldn't be happy with it! Haha

Feels like something I'd catch on Adult Swim at 2am.
Watched the other episodes to see where you were going with all of this.

Nate is my favorite of the characters. Hellish duplicates trying to kill him means he has something to hide which makes him far more interesting.

Dan is too passive, observing everything around him and not doing much about it. I wish he'd object to the absurdity of his situation. He just let himself get dragged away by the creepy pizza parlor owner without objection.

Dave is too boring. One second I think he's optimistic with his comment on the crappy neighborhood, the next he's irritated with people at his new place. It's hard to get a read on what kind of character he is. I wish Dave had purpose. He should be helping Dan get adjusted to working at Thrift Video- maybe be more optimistic. I'd find it funny if it was his idea to throw a party and have the Pizza Owner and Clown do the catering. He should be oblivious to the innuendos and dark nature of the Clown and Pizza owner- It would allow them to stick around and antagonize everybody just because Dave loves the pizza too damn much.

While the story is all over the place, I definitely get a "for fun" feeling out of it and enjoy it.
Keep it up! I hope things get more fleshed out in future episodes. Great job!

Nathan, David, and Dan - I love your show!! (and just noticed the characters are named after yourselves :-) Right from the catchy opening song, to the underlying weird sexual advances to Dan from (the owner?) of 'little kid land"my opinion, you nailed it - you should pitch to the networks. So looking forward to more Congratulations!
