    Sorry this was late. Wanted to take extra time with this one. Making every 2020 vid the best it can be. Maybe next is a vid on ALL Mortal Kombat Kartoons.

      It's cool how good character's can stay down to earth not be like Family Guy. But I feel a good cartoon should have some of it's elements overblown. A good example is Gravity Falls. Some of it's character's are down to earth and true, Meanwhile the plot situation is basically the X-files on a kids sugar high.

      There was a Comicbook drawing contest at my local library that I participated in. There were two categories which were Cover and Panel Scene but I went with Cover because I knew my limits lmao.
      But I ended up winning because I included all the important details, such as filling out the backstory info and such. My brother also entered but he didn't actually include any info so his was rejected, but I feel like maybe othe kids also forgot to fill out the non-drawing parts.

    If I found out my buddy made a cartoon and he drew me the way Gimpy was drawn I think I would kill him.

    That transition to your intro at 1:50 was smooth af. Nice job

    I always thought the “gimpy” character was so dumb, because he doesn’t have any character traits that make it necessary for him to look like a weird mutant freak among otherwise normal characters. He’s just an opinionated nerd, who is weird but generally conducts himself like a normal person.
    It makes sense now that the main characters are simplistic caricatures a high schooler made of his friends, that a show was eventually built around.

    Now that African American Pan Pizza's MTV cartoon reviews that mentioned the tragic story of the Undergrads, here shall be the original Pan Pizza discussing just that in his own way. Time to watch

    God damn, after how well the transition to the intro and how well the script was done, you can tell that there was a lot of work put into this. This is another great work of yours man and was totally worth the wait.

    I used to watch this cartoon years ago. Looking back some of the gags are still funny after so many years. I can't believe that I'm finding out NOW that a movie is being Kickstarted.
    As long as production doesn't go through development hell, I wish the creator the best.
    Don't let fans down, guy.

    Gimpy always looked like if Ren (from Ren & Stimpy) turned into a human.

    I never expected me to relate so hard to a cartoon just showcasing how long the lines are at the financial aid office. also this cartoon is giving me serious Clone High vibes

    Don't give credit to MTV for these shows, That's like giving EA credit for making a good game. Teletoon deserves the real credit.

    Gimpy was later found dead in Guantanmo bay with a knife impaled in his head with a note reading "legally taken care of by nintendo."

    This needs to be said but the intro that is used in most of his videos just brings that lonely saturday night in the early 2000s

    This gives me some hope for a clone high movie. Especially since the creators are big film makers now
