You may recall the Nite Fite segment of The Meth Minute 39, which features two animated talk show hosts Penalty and Lloyd. The concept, which was created by Dan Meth and Mark Vitelli, has been spun off to it’s own web series. Three episodes are available for your viewing pleasure, including this one titled Sell Out.
This week’s Meth Minute 39 short takes a look back at the cartoon series through a Nintendo NES lens. Dan Meth called upon Ben Ross to visualize the various shorts from his series in an 8-bit style, and they put it against Nik Anesti’s lo-fi sounds.
The Meth Minute 39’s Internet People was one of the most watched shorts on the web in ‘07, and in this video below Dan Meth, the creator, explains his process, how the series came to be, and how he got his start in animation. Flash-specific details come in around 2:45 of this special Behind the Scenes short.
The Meth Minute’s weekly post is live. This week’s short is titled Ultra and the Lazer Hearts, which is a spoof of the rotoscoped 80’s series Jem – who rocked with her glam-band The Holograms. Dare to compare! (NSFW)
