We’re super-excited to premiere World of Bob, a new cartoon short we made with our friends at PUNY (the Akon Calls T-Pain guys). It’s about a guy named Jim whose dumb friend Bob has sex with a cavewoman, so now everyone in the future is a descendent of Bob. It’s weird, and gross, and we hope you enjoy it!
A ton of awesome people donated their time to this project — our friend Pete Berkman of Anamanaguchi did title theme, Farsheed Hamidi-Toosi did the music video theme, and our sound editor Craig Hillelson did a bang up job on the mix; and PUNY’s animation is, of course, as gorgeous as always. (Seriously, watch this in HD or at Vimeo if you possibly can — the art is amazing.) This project was a true labor of love for all of us, and we hope you dig watching it as much as we dug making it.
OH MY GOD IS THAT WHAT MY VOICE SOUNDS LIKE? (In case you’ve never heard me talk, I play Bob.)
We pitched this idea around to networks as a TV show, but the general consensus was that the premise was “unpleasant” and “not a world people would want to revisit week to week” and “why don’t they just go back in time again?” I personally kind of love how cheerfully off-putting this cartoon is and a lot of the credit for that goes to PUNY. They’re class acts, all around.
