I got a little bit of context to give this to explain why this cartoon is the way it is.
Q: Ok so why's this video look even messier than Gamer Talk?
A: I made this in about 2-3 weeks somewhere from November-December 2019, with this idea going back even further and there actually being an even worse cut of this which might be lost? I genuinely don't know where the first "finished" version of this is. I very vividly remember everything after 30 seconds being done in I think literally a week, explaining why kind of nothing happens for the last minute.
Q: Why are the voices like that?
A: This was the first big original cartoon I had done where it was actually me doing voices and not a text to speech, explaining why the voices are like that.
Q: If this wasn't meant for the web to begin with, what was it meant for?
A: This was meant for a contest, and the rules were really weird and vague which is why there's no game music or anything like I would normally put in these videos.
Q: Why's there no music in this video, and where's the funny swears these cartoons usually have?
A: The rules for submitting cartoons to this contest were not at all well stated, and it's not like we could really talk to any official contest people about it, so we had to play it safe for a lot of stuff in this thing. I was really pushing the envelope for having a whole cartoon about farts. It didn't help that most of the contest people had never really judged a cartoon in their contest either, so again, we had to play it safe.
Q: Who's We?
A: We is just me and the official contest people, there were no other artists or voice people involved in this cartoon, it was just me scribbling on my 4x3 XP-Pen tablet and screaming into audacity.
Q: What's up with the ending?
A: The original "finished" draft of this was made in like 2 hours and midway through that I thought "what if I give this some vaguely existential message at the end about being really small in this world or some shit" and I thought that was funny so I kept it for the final cut. I was just burnt out by the end of the first draft, so I threw that in because I just stopped caring, but the idea stuck for some reason.
:tl:dr cut: I rushed this thing out for a contest somewhere in December 2019, where I had to be as clean and inoffensive as possible but I still wanted to make dumb fart jokes, which was really pushing shit.
Enjoy!
