[Deimos]

Lmao that's good

 

[Thorry]

Damn that's clever AF

 

[Turnscr3w]

This is great

 

[Nakenorm]

Yup. Really enjoyed it and was curious if they'd do it or not.

 

[TissueBox]

Lmao well-done!

 

[BebopCola]

I love it lol

 

[TeraDax]

Oh my good, this is brilliant.

 

[Stuntman]

That's genius adaptation.

 

[DarthMasta]

10/10 adaptation.

artists getting carried away is my first experience with understanding that these shows are produced by people, and there are logistics that determine their quality

DBZ randomly looking awesome when the A team boarded and animated a scene and then right after the models and animation take a significant nosedive confused the fuck out of young Trey.

 

[Pepito]

holy shit, it's TIM ROBINSON hahaha

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

If it had cut back to Mark with a coffee cup in front of his mouth it would've been perfect haha

 

[Lukar]

God damn I need to watch this show. That was great lol.

 

[FFNB]

LOL!

I haven't watched Season 2 yet (I've been waiting for it to finish, same with Shogun!), but as a comic book artist, this was one of my favorite jokes from the comic, and I admit, I employed similar tactics when I was drawing my first graphic novel, and some scenes I wrote I was able to use this "trick" to finish the pages sooner, especially talking scenes lol

The fact that they managed to adapt it in a way that maintains the meta-commentary, and applies it to animation is great and fricking hilarious! The Simpsons also did a similar joke ages ago that cracked me up back then too XD XD

 

[Davidion]

Well done.

I like the little extra visual details on Mark that last shot, hahahaha

Seance Dog's author better hope that Mark didn't use too small a slice

Then later in the episode they do the opposite. They cut off the top part of the head and show only the mouth animating as a character talks. Pretty neat.
