Dick Figures have been viewed over 100 million times on YouTube, and I recommend throwing one more view on top of that. This 2nd episode of season 4 is one of my favorites of all 32 episodes in the catalog. Hell, even cat lovers will like this one. Here’s Pussy Magnet.
What do you call 30 episodes and 100 million views? A nice start. At least that’s how the Dick Figures guys see it. And now they’re back with 10 all-new episodes, kicked off with this new trailer and a chance to see the first episode early (details at the new Dick Figures website).
Yahoo has (accidentally?) thrown the switch on the first Electric City promo. Conceived by Tom Hanks (via Playtone and Reliance), and directed by Six Point Harness director Joel Trussell, the 20-part Electric City saga takes us to a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world where topics of energy consumption and freedom of information are bubbling to the surface. I get the feeling that Yahoo wasn’t quite ready for this to be seen, as some of the links at the bottom of the teaser page are dead. We’ll apparently be invited into a labrynth of puzzles, clues and community engagement.
[UPDATE - both the teaser page and this video below are now offline]
Check out this new Flash-animated (I think) Super Bowl spot for MetLife, who happen to own the majority of my house. It was lead by the amazing team at Psyop, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that the gang at Six Point Harness in Hollywood handled the 2D animation on the project. I’ve contacted the 6PH for the scoop, but I haven’t been able to verify this. But if it is in fact true – brilliant work, everyone. Here’s the spot titled Everyone, which includes a whole village of classic animated characters including Peanuts, He-man, PepĂ© Le Pew, Scooy Doo, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian, Richie Rich and too many others to name.
It’s Friday, so you and your alcoholic friends should probably just head to the bar at lunch and call it a week. As you pack up yer shit, how about one for the road? Here’s Chug-A-Chug-A-Brew-Brew, the latest Dick Figures episode, which takes us to the wild west, where the booze train is about to collide with the Red Express.
