Crapstick Doodle: Episode 10


A friend of mine was recently alerted to the existence of these cartoons I've been making over the past couple months, as well as another half dozen football-related videos I've made for my friends at the GameFAQs NFL board and bluntly asked me, "How the hell many videos do you make?" The answer is many. Very, very many. This is another one. Do note that this is the most recent video I've made, so I'm now up to date on this blog, so future videos will be posted here about once a week as opposed to the once every day or two we've been seeing lately. Anyways, 10 fast facts!

1. This episode was a complete bitch to draw. My way of drawing has all of the characters point their arms outward, which made it really hard to fit all four in the same frame. I eventually made it work, but this episode ended up being unique in a sense that it was a complete pain in the ass to make while all of the others were really fun.

2. This episode derives from a mild obsession I have with coming up with fake gay porn titles. My favorite movies on my Facebook profile consists of a list of a few dozen gay porn titles. Also, for my final project in my Advanced Audio class at Ball State I made a comedy album featuring a track entitled "Inside the Gay Porn Actor's Studio," which only existed as a flimsy excuse to rattle off about 40 more gay porn titles that I came up with.

3. To anyone who Googles the titles listed in this video: Save me the fucking grief of telling me if any of them are already titles of real gay porn flicks. I assure you I came up with these titles myself. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if a gay porn producer came up with some of those same titles independently. The average human male makes approximately 4.6 dick jokes an hour. Assuming that statistic is inflated for a comedian like myself and a gay porn producer who distributes videos of dudes fucking each other for a living, it virtually becomes a mathematical certainty that they'll both create the same dick joke at some point.

4. I have the next two days off from work and I have no fucking clue what I'm going to do with them. I honestly have no idea whatsoever what normal people do with two days off every week. My plans for the next two days involve watching a few episodes of Boston Legal on DVD, eating some Georgia Chopped Pork at Famous Dave's, and getting the CV boot on my car replaced and that's it. I've managed to fill half of an afternoon. WHY THE HELL CAN'T I EVER FIGURE OUT WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO?!?!?!?!?

5. After my girlfriend saw this video she asked me if this was just an animated version of an old sketch I've already made because, in her words, "This sketch was just so you that I thought you'd already done it." Folks, at the age of 22 my comedy has already become so stagnant and predictable that my own girlfriend of two and a half years can't tell it apart from anything else I've done.

6. If you couldn't figure it out, the opening song gets quiet when the sketch starts because it's supposed to be playing on the stereo at the bachelor party.

7. Referring to myself as a butthorn's worst nightmare in the title sequence is a reference to Bulletproof, starring Gary Busey. Watch the opening sequence here to understand why I've been so obsessed with this movie for the last year.

8. Drawing this episode fucking sucked for the most part, but making those fake gay porn DVD covers was fun as hell, especially making the black dildo with helicopter propellers on it.

9. I've done a pretty good job so far in terms of keeping the voices of the characters at least somewhat discernibly different despite playing all of the characters myself, but I have a feeling I'll have no choice but to bring in a friend to record voices if I ever add a fifth main character.

10. It's almost impossible to make out from listening to the video, so here is what each of the characters are saying in the part where they're all shouting at once and trying to talk over each other:

Corey: Murph, I give you one task, I give you one simple task, and what do you do? You fuck it up. You fuck around, you fuck around, you fuck it up. I hate you so much. Why... Go fuck yourself, go fuck yourself.

Murph: Why are you always riding me, huh? Why are you always riding me? Why do you gotta be like that? Okay, I rented some gay porn. Sue me. I rented some gay porn, big deal.

Gary: Why can't I have a goddamn bachelor party like a normal person without you fucking freaks ruining it? It's ridiculous. (5 seconds of unintelligible stuttering)

Demetrius: Man, I don't even know how I can hang out with you people. You racist, you gay, you gay AND racist. Y'all a bunch of gay racists, and a bunch of crackers too.

None of it is particularly funny, but you were probably curious anyway.
