SLUDGE BROTHERS: PILOT

[@Cactus_Hugger7]

​@averyunfunnyhumanbeing1137 There's plenty of things you could call this video, "original" definitely isn't one of them. Combining toilet humor and a bizarre animation style has been done better by countless other shows, with dialogue that isn't nearly as flat.

Watched it yesterday for the first time, and rewatched it now just because of how much I loved it. The animation is so good, character designs, voice acting, jokes... It's all sooo good! And the music, oh the music, my absolute favourite of it all! How it wraps everything up in a nasty key is absolutely awesome, I don't remember the last time when a theme song fit so incredibly well! 10000% looking forward to seeing more of the fellas in the future

[@wormboiling]

Graeme Barrett is a phenomenal comedian and has to be used more often. You guys did a stellar job all around, can’t believe how quickly you put together such a perfect cartoon, your team is superbly dedicated to their craft and it shows.

[@PFINNEY]

thank you! Yes, everyone did awesome and Graeme was great to work with :)

[@jamesphillips3135]

I knew I recognized that voice

[@mind-of-neo]

You are an extremely good animator! This is a great take on the gross-out style, and despite the intentionally gross subject matter which is lovable in its own regard, every scene was just so beautiful to look at because of the vibrant colors and great attention to detail. Speaking of which, you do the "hyperrealistic close up" really well too. Great audio work as well. Clearly a lot of passion went into this.

[@Drawvin_Ink]

I can't lie, the soundtrack to this pilot really puts everything together, idk how to describe it but the tracks accompanying the art style just has a blend I've never seen before. Alongside the animation which is PEAK quality. Loved this holy shit, very funny too

[@PFINNEY]

The music does a lot of heavy lifting! Make sure to check out the description for the artist's links

[@Drawvin_Ink]

@@PFINNEY Definitely did! Loved their works just as much!

[@mvlogs7024]

I feel bad for pickle, because when he called her dill, she preferred him to call her by Delilah, even though she stated her friends call her dill. God I hope we get to see more of dill in future episodes.

With a nose that long you'd think Pickle could smell quite well, he has unlocked potential.

The part where the mouse took a nibble out of food in his mouth. And then next shot mouse IN his mouth. 😂 Laughed so fucking hard. I will never forget that.

This pilot is OBSCENELY funny dude, keep up the work until this becomes a fully fledged series.

grossout cartoons almost feel like a lost art, i really dig this! instantly subscribed after a couple minutes of watching the energy of the art style and dialogue gives me smiling friends vibes and i'm always happy to see more stuff like that

[@Bulley]

The rat marriage bit certainly brought me back to the time Smiling Friends did the family life fantasy thing in an episode. I think it's fascinating just how many cartoons wind up doing that gag (and others). Must just be tradition at this point to earn your stripes by making the bit your own lol

[@dimitriwilson1037]

Man graeme barret is really good in this, really natural voice acting. Love the plot too.

[@name-h7x]

This is really good other than the voice acting and gross-out humour. A lot of the jokes are hit or miss. Most of the bad jokes are just "haha fart" I love the ren and stimpy style overly detailed frames when it zooms in. 1:43 was really funny where a character just gets run over in the background. It caught me off guard. The voice acting isn't a huge problem but it's mostly with the green guy. I think the voice acting is a bit weird on that character. My favourite joke is 7:11 where you see a guy walk up to somebody and the next shot you see the dead body of that person. The animation and character designs are amazing but sometimes the characters come of as unlikable. It's decent and has a lot of potential I would love to see more of this

[@lozerable]

I agree less gross out humor (and just some better writing) and better voice acting

@@sheepgrass500 It is really good but pickle's voice acting is weird, not like it sounds weird as that's intentional but it's unnatural

I think the writing could definitely improve, but definitely was not bad for the runtime restraints that were placed, but the main problem was all the unnecessary gross-out humor in my opinion. The voice acting was overall good though, and Pickle’s VA wasn’t bad in my opinion

[@joreldecker4822]

So real talk, this is good. The concept is there and I truly feel the writing is good and with some additional help it could be even better. I was pretty disinterested pretty quickly but your development of characters came into play and introduced a new interest and it kept me in the game so to speak. Pickles transformation from revolting stranger to kind and relatable character. All in all I’d be interested in seeing more. A few things could be different and if it became officially produced it would hit the likes of adult swim cartoons which are almost always strange but great
