They mentioned on one of the commentary tracks that they don't have the manpower to generate enough background characters. They suggested that instead of fanart, people should send them original characters they can fill scenes with.

Despite all of the fantastic episodes that have come out since, that episode is still my favorite. It's a fantastic stand alone episode, but also introduces the pirate captain, Action Man and Kano. Plus it's probably the best Johnny Quest parody of all of the episodes as well.

Holy poo poo, I had pretty much the exact same exchange almost a year ago to the day.:

It also includes one of my favorite scenes of Brockian destruction, starting when he grabs the guy's hand with his rear end, and ending when you see the top of his head as he swims away from the burning pirate ship. :black101:

Brock beating a man to death using another man as a club, held with his rear end is the greatest single moment of the entire series.

And then SNATCH CHORD CRASH SMASH CUT CREDITS

Lots of shows were doing great things in that era with the "super-fast-paced twist in the last 2-3 seconds before cutting to credits" thing, but that VB ending put them all to shame.

Except maybe the Broodwich.

You gotta remember they basically spent their entire original season 2 budget on the intro song royalties for the opening 2 minutes of the season.

This show is literally doc and jackson, the cheapest korean animation studio, and a handful of part time voice actors.

They can't afford to pay for your plane ticket. You'd pretty much just have to get wherever it is yourself and hope they have something they can sign for you to hoard at home.

Haha, that is super bitchy. They even downgrade the TV show that Colbert had a recurring character on for 2 seasons to a "project".

Yeah it's from here: http://www.avclub.com/article/adam-reed-walks-us-through-iarcheris-third-season--72985

quote:

When we were making Frisky Dingo, we made it out of this tiny brick house in a neighborhood in East Atlanta, and he was our neighbor. We moved in, nobody was living there, it was just computers, and we would all show up at 9 o’clock in the morning, eight white guys. We’d park in the driveway, in the yard, go in there, close the door all day, and all leave at 6 o’clock. And he was head of the neighborhood watch, so after about two weeks of this, somebody was pounding on the door, which was like this iron grate, and he was like, “What the hell is going on in here? Are you all cooking meth?” And we’re like, “Oh, no. No sir! Please come in; we make cartoons.” And he said, “What in the hell is this?” He wasn’t super-stoked on us illegally running a business out of the house across the street, so we asked if he’d like to be in an episode, and he became, basically, the Pam of Frisky Dingo, that everyone wanted to see more of.

“What the hell is going on in here? Are you all cooking meth?” in Mr Ford's voice sounds less an inquiry about criminal activities and more asking if he can buy some.

Yeah, I think I remember listening to a podcast that Warburton was on and he mentioned he has a recording studio in his basement because he does so much voiceover work, it made it REALLY worth it to not have to drive around to a dozen different recording studios.

So, yeah, "over the phone" means a high-speed (ADSL? Actually, probably VOIP) voice line, and in a recording studio with good mics, sound-canceling walls, etc...

That is goddamn fascinating.

The nice thing for Warburton is, is that it probably makes it easier for people to consider him, and end up hiring him out of sheer convenience.

Good for him.
