Jack & Kor
Lackadaisy is a great youtube furry animation online. It is an amazing pilot so we decided to react to it in a reaction commentary format on Spilling The Milk. LACKADAISY (Pilot) LACKADAISY, based on a comic series by Tracy J. Butler, was directed by Fable Siegel, produced by Iron Circus Animation.

Fun fact: Very notably, ProZD actually first became known on the internet as the person who voiced Mordecai in Lackadaisy fandubs, and now here he is voicing Mordecai in the official release!

[@_Mythic777_]

The first thing I saw of his personally was his "a villain who unintentionally always does helpful things" video but I had no idea he even voiced in this until it was mentioned in this video!

Freckle is Rocky's cousin and goes berserk when subjected to violence and handed a weapon. Mordecai didn't shoot Ivy because he used to work for the same people they are and he got sentimental. He's now working for the opposition and is possibly magically tied to the Cajun siblings he was riding with. While he won't hesitate to murder someone if it serves a purpose, he's not nearly as willing to engage in bloodshed for the fun of it as they are. Rocky fancies himself a poet, which is why he talks like he does. Meanwhile, Zib, the band's leader, tends to have a surprisingly broad vocabulary and somehow manages to be seemingly 24/7 drunk despite almost no access to liquor. He's very rarely upright unless he's being propped up by something. Or someone.

This fan animation knows how to "Swing Their Sinners" cause we're on the "Wild Side" of this!. Better hurry before their "Other Friends" can "Roll The Dice!"

That's pretty clever wordplay you did

[@bendynamic2150]

To be fair a good bit of the dialogue and music when you might feel its weird makes sense when you think about it seeing how it is set in the 1920's.

[@ScorpionStrike7]

I’m happy Lackadaisy is getting the recognition it deserves

[@fatcat1414]

If we really want to compare this pilot to Hazbin Hotel, I'd say Lackadaisy has better pacing and design while HH had stronger character introductions. Though HH was rushed I think it was better at telling us what each character's Deal was. Lackadaisy has years of comics to sell production companies on the characters and concept while HH really only has the pilot. They are coming from very different places and I think that should be acknowledged.

[@ice_pls]

Right? I feel like I knew way more about the characters after watching the hh pilot. These characters are more mysterious, but it's enough to get me to check out the comic.

[@nabstablook22]

“That guy sounds like Moxxie from Helluva Boss” Rocky is actually voiced by Angel Dust’s voice actor!

[@erikbihari3625]

I thought he's Best known for murder drones(wich I still hawen't watched or know what It's about)!

[@jacklaclair6676]

They should watch a Fox in Space. The creators just released a new episode recently and I’m curious as to what they think about it.

[@erikbihari3625]

It looks like the bastard child of hit Monkey And bevis and butthead!

[@TotallyNotASIO]

The voice actor for angel dust is playing the voice actor as the tall violin guy aswell

[@erikbihari3625]

I heard somewhere that he was also involved in murder drones!

[@wondrousgamer3930]

A fun fact for the warrior cats reference, some of the animators who helped make the pilot are actually from the warriors fandom and have been making warrior animatics for years. So they have a lot of practice with drawing cats lol.

[@KoskotOwl]

Im just really happy that you guys are watching this. Then it gets shown to more people that might not have considered watching this. :)

[@hwikilmon4677]

1:54 actually a cool fact is Rocky is voiced by Michael Kovach who was the old voice of angel dust. so, close

[@AgentWuT]

The reason why Mordecai Heller (that black cat) didn't took the shot on ivy (the girl in the car) Is because he got sentimental about it and let it go

[@kagato23]

Atlas is her Godfather. He’s obviously not the most sentimental but he doesn’t want to kill the little girl he knew before she was knee high. She reminds him of his own little sister. Rocky and Freckle however, he’d blow their brains out.

Lol Freckle and Rocky are cousins so I certainly hope there’s no shipping

[@RebelLombax]

Cause Michael kovach who voiced angel dust in the pilot of hazbin. Voices in this also lackadaisy is a comic i think the book is already done but it barely got a series now and yes i think helluva and hazbin some of the people worked this i think

[@b2od_]

2:20 Nah furries own guns since Shadow the hedgehog game existed

[@plaidhatter1674]

1:46 They both have similarities, but the main difference is presentation. Hazbin Hotel is more bold and aggressive, while Lackadaisy is more classy.

[@Sadjellyfish123]

Fun fact: Freckle (the orange cat) and Ivy (the grey girl cat)are a couple

[@erikbihari3625]

And She likes living dangerously? Big whoop!

And Freckle and Rocky are brothers, so uhh hopefully shipping is kept to an absolute minimum.

[@aino-kaisav5504]

According to the wiki, Freckle and Pepper are together. Of course, you can't stop the internet from shipping Rocky and Freckle anyways

"Good furry propaganda" - Quote of the day

[@yankees2864]

Fun fact: the reason why Rocky and Angel Dust sound so similar is because they are played by the same VA, Micheal Kovech!

[@erikbihari3625]

He sounds pretty good here, effortlessly pulling off the unhinged maniac and the showboating theatrics!

[@TrashRat-qw9ri]

Fun fact: The guy that voices rocky voices angel dust ( or used to)

[@OR56]

This is not furry propaganda. Just because it has animals as people doesn’t mean it’s furry propaganda. Anyway, when Freckle goes nuts with the Tommy gun is my favorite part.
