Web Animation - Amazing, Cringe-worthy, Whatever

Doraleous & Associates is some of the best fantasy comedy I've ever seen, colourful characters, funny worldbuilding in service of the comedy and full of witty and pretty well thought out jokes most of which are timeless, the writers + voice actors are masters of comedic timing which is a lost art nowadays.

Its about a band of mixed-competence mercenaries roaming the land in search of good deeds to perform and occasionally also money, despite the crude animation the characters are incredibly expressive and the show extremely often uses the crude animation in its favour to the point where I wouldn't have it any other way.

The series holds up incredibly well and is probably better than most of the shit that comes out today despite being 10 years old.

Its a pitty it didn't get the attention it deserved.


They managed to squeeze out 50 episodes, which I binge like once a year and 100% recommend anyone does the same, but sadly that's it.

Once Hank and Jed worked out they could make double the money with a tenth of the effort pumping out shitty gaming videos, their career was over.

I don't blame them for going after that bread, especially considering how volatile and shit youtube is, but its sad that their writing skills will never again see the light of day.

In an ideal world youtube would go out of its way to sposor high quality animated series on its platform but alas.
Hank and Jed always knew how to make characters feel so lively even with stiff animation. Battlefield Friends and Doraleous & Associates were some of the best examples of good web animation. There's a series that's most unknown from them called from Apocalypse Lane. It centers around characters in a post apocalyptic world. The animation is way more crude, since I think it was just Johnneyetcho animating the whole thing, but the writing of Hank and Jed is there. *sigh* I wish these guys had kept animating.

Recently I started having vivid near-hallucination level flashbacks of stupid fucking Newgrounds animations I watched way back in the mid 2000s. I don't regret watching them despite the "stupid fucking" statement of the last sentence but there's probably some level of internet shitpost induced brainrot tied to these.

I have no clue how but I remember this fucking thing nearly line for line.

I remember that.
But do you remember Blockhead? That was my favorite series on Newgrounds.
