I can't stop quoting this. "The flying ones are doing severe damage to this side of town. I mean look at you. You're meek, Blep." "Yes"

[@woahdudeitsme9742]

Yes

[@divaMichellemusic]

No, no. No, I'm bothered to a high degree.

[@astick5249]

"Look at that." "Yes"

[@Brushyip]

No plot armor is crazy

[@Dipstikk]

They couldn't say no to a snack.

[@theonebman7581]

Admittedly, plot armor hadn't quite evolved yet, give them a break

[@KageNage]

Dang, can't believe they killed off Corb so early.

[@WasThisMail]

don’t be so certain

[@bluesky_cupy5158]

And it's implied that Blep probably ate Corb's remains afterwards :O

[@praetorin]

You can’t say no to a snack

[@woahdudeitsme9742]

As long as this doesn't prove to be a non sequitur.

[@woahdudeitsme9742]

Yeah of all the quotable lines this one is my favorite.

[@astick5249]

"Apologies Corb"

[@glorbojibbins2485]

*I AM BOTHERED TO A HIGH DEGREE*

[@weizquierdo]

You can’t say no to a snack 🙌🏽

[@souptheseries]

you absolutely can’t squilliam

[@astick5249]

Mhm, yeh.

[@Darthquackius]

​@@souptheseriesit's been 6 months, think you've been saying no to the snacks

[@chassaid4242]

I hope this is one of those series where the characters can perish is different ways but the next episode they are back like nothing happened lol. Rip corb 🥺

[@Darthquackius]

perhaps all the trilobites are corb, or corb is a particular lineage and we shall see other corb

[@QUEfrang]

It is very impressive to animate something like this without losing your soul.

[@tomaspabon2484]

I love how proper their speech is. "Edible material, ingest, etc" It's almost like language has not yet evolved a more casual register.

[@nCedric1]

I hope there's more to this series. I loved the characters. Felt heartbroken for the trilobite

[@whittyisconfused4796]

The sound he made was just even more devastating, I felt like I just seen a mass extinction and in a couple of seconds

[@souptheseries]

Fear not child. More episodes incoming. Projected release Feburary for episode two. Excited and happy you are enjoying the ride.

[@carrott36]

@@souptheseries Is it still happening?

[@veecordero9658]

I need more

[@lucianoescobar9677]

[@wongmatthew7215]

The flying ones are really doing the damage.

[@plfaproductions]

love the anomalocaris slowly coming from the background, exceptional foreshadowing

[@shorpee4165]

I love that this site is probably going to be full of people who also know what anomalocarids and hallucigenia and trilobites are

[@barrettm.w7031]

Hopefully corb comes back to life in the next episode for the series

[@adamwelch4336]

nah corb probably had babies! there will probably be a plot about that! 😂

[@theonebman7581]

Anyone knows you can't just kill a trilobite like that and not expect him to come back to laugh in the face of everyone who dies in the next extinction

[@JasonOfArgo]

The dynamic between these two is amazing, the softie and the sassy. Can't wait to see them intake nutrients again.

[@lll.u]

one is already dead

[@lll.u]

@sgtgroove7897 maybe he’ll die too in the second episode

[@astick5249]

I love how the style matches that found in old depictions of the Cambrian explosion

[@nathant6655]

paleontologists love to crosshatch their sketches it seems

[@Darthquackius]

​@@nathant6655cross hatching is a fantastic method of shading

[@fezguuy]

We gettin’ preserved in the stratigraphic record with this one!

[@woahdudeitsme9742]

Ha!

[@wholesomemomento6049]

lethal company guy!

[@Gogogadgetkys]

This is fantastic. The animation is smooth and uniquely stylized, the jokes are funny and quotable, and every frame is pleasing to the eye. The Cambrian Explosion is an extremely underutilized medium, so I am ecstatic to see someone making it into a fun and genuinely beautiful work of art. You've got gold here, so keep it up, be patient, and the algorithm will eventually do it's thing. Subscribed and looking forward to more!

[@Historical-Happenchances]

From now on I’m calling food edible material

[@alejandrofuentes8391]

We need more of this. The V.A.T.S killed me 😂.

[@calebmaxey4926]

Please make Corb’s ability to regenerate unrealistically good and bring him back…great character establishing for less than 4 mins

[@nvaburykenneh7320]

I want more of this so bad.

[@aidancostell4395]

Every part of this animated entertainment is appealing to a high degree

[@adrianhandley9895]

I will now start calling food “edible material”

[@mclovin3725]

The main one was such a good character. Sad to see him go

[@whatahoot1185]

After all, you really can't say no to a snack

[@georgeofhamilton]

No, you really can’t say no to a snack.

[@Jormyyy]

This needs like 10x the amount of views it currently has. The humor and writing are phenomenally done.

[@TheAnxiousOwl]

Damnit corb... This is why you didn't survive. You let anger get the best of you

[@Darthquackius]

See, he should have been pursuing nutrient matter. Survival belongs to... what's the word? right, the fittest. The fittest know that pursuing nutrient matter is of the utmost importance. Corb was not the fittest. He placed a matter of personal significance over the aquisition of.... I know it has a nomenclature.... ah yes Nutritient Matter. Corb should have focused on the snacks.

[@rileyd1283]

I love how different is from all the other KZbin short it's really good to see some fresh new things

[@whittyisconfused4796]

I think what you should do is each episode would be a different era with different creatures and a different plot, for example we could go to the Triassic period and have early dinosaurs doing something. That’s just my idea though

[@souptheseries]

That's very similar to the plan we are going for. Only season one will be in the Cambrian era. Season two on the other hand we can explore different options.

[@jackhinkley8133]

@@souptheseriescool! So it’s an anthology series!

[@BEARITUAL_]

I love these little guys. They will now be running through my veins. Thank you.

[@cavemant4842]

Apparently Soup is my new fixation

Me too

[@crypto_luigi]

[@chenzo716]

THAT GOT SO DARK SO FAST but can’t say no to a snack

[@ZombieLemonz]

i love this series dearly already. rip corb, died standing rather than kneeling

[@GustafUNL]

Day etcetera of no new Soup episode.

[@ZacharyClift514]

Is there more of this planned? You can't say no to a snack.

[@souptheseries]

Of course! New episode projected in February. Different stories, different fauna. I think you'll like what we have in store in the future. Stay tuned!

[@WasThisMail]

one of my greatest videos I have seen wonderful writing, beautiful animation, and a great use of the Cambrian setting

[@Herro676]

This is criminally under rated

[@badliquidyawn]

i can tell this series is about to be lit

[@Darthquackius]

I am bothered that it's been 4 months and we don't have another soup

[@D-angelin.Moarar]

Instantly subscribed! Awesome content, the script, animation and choice of interesting era is just amazing

[@Breydwildlife]

I use to like to learn about the Cambrian and never did I think there would be a animation on it. I mean this is practically the Cambrian, eat crawl poop eat, get eaten- repeat

[@runephantom3]

Corb is what happens when you turn Patrick Bateman into a horseshoe crab. You can't say no to a snack.

[@Jascosaurus]

Trilobite

[@divaMichellemusic]

Can't say no to watching this snack every time it's on my feed

[@FORESTKIDSCOLLECTIVE]

I love the Patrick Bateman vibes lmao

[@michaelmorales6226]

I'm so glad i wasn't the only one getting that vibe 😆 why he have to become snack so soon though 😭

[@Gyatt_frfr]

Fantastic! Go ahead (but don't resurrect Corb, plz), mane, you've done awesome

[@carrott36]

Wasn’t that Corb?

[@Gyatt_frfr]

@@carrott36 , you're right

[@presleyluis4666]

They need to resurrect corb. he's already a fan favourite. or make others that are exactly like corb

[@Not.So.WiseGuy]

This is one of the best things I've seen on the platform in a long time.

[@uponhorizonspast]

I hope you continue this series. :)

[@theotherasianguy8249]

Please keep this up. Im in love with it already

[@jabrikolo]

This is just so infinitely great, please keep doing things like that 😍 I read wonderful life by Stephen Jay Gould and this feels just like entering the early cambrian in a weird but awesome way

Can do

[@ThePiechomper]

WONDERFUL!!! Truly a delight

[@kielbasa.sausage]

I could binge watch a whole series of this

[@Apophis124]

I could swear a saw a version of this were they mention the anomalocaris by name but can't find it anywhere...maybe a mandela effect Idk

[@Galapalo]

Oh no Corb!!! That was brilliant, very funny. Looking forward to the next one

[@MerrStudio]

this new lethal company update sure is interesting

[@evanbahnsen4602]
