I wonder how many Blue-Eyes White Dragons it cost to buy that pnoie? They never got around to answering that.

Imagine Enter three years from now looking back at this project like he did with his RPG

Decided to go back and finish the pilot. Wow. Wowowow.
The kids think lightning is caused by angels bowling. Can you imagine how many people must die each year from hurricanes and tornadoes in this universe, seeing as no one in charge understands meteorology?
Also I swear to god when Robert and Linda kissed I thought the next scene would be of Sally and Timmy walking in on them making out. That would have been the only funny joke in the script, unfortunately.

Not even the funniest joke in the world could save this episode
The rollerbades scene already destroyed it

Well, he's definitely more involved in this project than that piece of crap. However, I'd be remiss not to mention that he's continuing development of the game, according to its TVTropes page (Yes, Epic has a TVTropes page).
Well, with no traffic laws, thousands of people are probably killed under normal conditions. Actually, there are dozens of questions we should all be asking about this world. With children in charge, a modern society like ours would crumble into dust in a matter of weeks. The world would be less like The Simpsons and more like "Lord of the Flies".
I doubt that he still working on it.
and I saw it, he must have written it himself.

Okay I decided to ask him about Robert and Linda's ages. Apparently, he says they're actually in their thirties. So either he is making something up, or we're wrong.

@Deadwaste: See, much more reasonable. If that's the official dictum, that's one problem gone.
Of course, just plugging up one hole in a dike when there are thousands of others just won't help.

The pilot also establishes that eating nothing but chocolate cake topped in whip cream and sprinkles is considered a normal meal in this universe, so why isn't everyone morbidly obese, completely toothless, or dying of organ failure?

I read through a few more episodes because... I don't know, I like pain I guess? But I'm surprised to say I found one I can legitimately call my favorite. It's Chore Wars.
Admittedly my only reasons for liking Chore Wars are that there's very little dialogue and it focuses solely on one character with lots of physical comedy. The narrative manages to avoid a lot of uncomfortable questions that came up in other scripts. It's still not good. There are continuity errors, like one minute the kitchen is spotless after Sally made breakfast and the next it's dirty. After finishing the episode I still have no idea what it means to have a "clean" house in the world of GA. Sally "cleans" Linda's room by making it messy but at the end makes everything clean in the normal sense of the word. The most offensive thing about this episode is how it shamelessly rips off Futurama (Three Hundred Big Boys). Again, the only truly awful moments in this episode come when characters open their mouths.
Baby Tooth is another one that I kind of liked... until Sally and Timmy started acting more like husband and wife and less like brother and sister, by singing a duet about their feelings for one another.
The resolution was a huge cop-out, too. You can't have a character come face to face with their own mortality, the very ravages of time, and resolve it with, "Oh, it's okay, because your family understands what you're going through." He had Timmy go through a personality crisis over growing older, complete with buying himself a brand new motorcycle and binge drinking (milk shakes hardy har har), and resolved the whole thing with about a sentence of dialogue. You. Can't. Do. That.
It kind of reminds me of that Adventure Time episode I Remember You, minus talent. It's like Enter wanted to take a risk but slammed hard on the breaks at the last second. He hasn't even finished the pilot and he's already shown his writing has no balls.

Well according to Enter, kids hate school picture day and the only reason why they exist is because adults love them.
Either that's some easy-to-miss projection or every child in elementary school is weird.

The Line on the end of the video was interesting.
Guys, I think he is responding to this forum. It should be informative.
General thoughts of the video, in order for convenience:
-Did he reuse the audio of his first announcement of GA?
-Enter clearly doesn't know what parody is
-He wants to have relatable characters, and is failing miserably
-Of course he wants his show to be moral based, Enter should be working on PSA's, not a cartoon series
-How can people be entertained or laugh at either terrible, or stolen jokes, that don't work in that context?
-He's proud because Sally looks like a mable clone, instead of Mable wearing different clothes?
-I think I missed the episode where there is somethings kids wanted to do, with the exception of the horse episode, maybe Enter thinks what HE wanted to do as a child was the norm
-He does know that lots of kids either don't care about picture day, or even like it, right?And many of then don't want to look like shit.
-If by "funny answer" he means "joke that took 5 seconds to think", he's right.
-He said it would be documentary style, does this mean face cam?
-The fucking background music reminds me of The Sims, and as Enter says "Don't remind the audience about something better than your show!"
