A surreal horror-comedy sketch show made with lo-fi glitchy digital puppets: Strange, dark, and a little wrong.
Each short drops you into a broken, low-resolution world where strange creatures stumble through absurd comedy, creeping dread, and the occasional flash of unexpected heart. Some characters return again and again, each with their own strange habits and broken logic. Some talk. Some barely breathe. Some just stare too long.
The Muppets meet Adult Swim in a world that's quietly falling apart.
What makes this show truly special is its innovative use of digital puppets, blending old-school charm with modern technology to create a one of a kind viewing experience. The show's simple approach to filmmaking embraces limitations as a source of inspiration and puts WEIRD at the forefront of the stage.
Pilot Episode
Whack-a-Love
In a dark room, a flat stage is covered with circular holes in the ground, like a strange whack-a-mole board.
A small, creepy but cute, worm-like puppet pops out of one of the holes. It looks around, sees nothing, and sinks back into the dark. A second little puppet pops out of a different hole and does the same.
They keep appearing from different holes, but always just missing each other. Each time, the puppets seem a little more disappointed, looking around, dropping their heads, sinking back into the darkness.
The rhythm builds. They pop up closer and closer, missing each other by milliseconds, until finally it happens: they both emerge at the same time, and their eyes meet across the board.
Now they pop up again, from holes closer and closer together, until at last they rise slowly from the same hole, and embrace.
SMASH!!
A giant hammer comes down from above and flattens them both. Their crumble bodies make a heart shape.
