Gen Zed has basically no funding and no real support from things like crowd funding or even older contacts within the wider industry. The trailer, I suspect, was supposed to generate interest and sales of the merch which would've led to funding. It would've made a good "concept" trailer for traditional funding or even for crowdsourcing.

Problem is Hayden is still very... analogue in an increasingly digital world. He's writing and behaving like the 70s born writers doing 90s shows. They think they're hip and new but it's still very "Hail fellow kids, how art thou?"

With Hayden increasingly not really promoting the show its obvious its dead in the water as he simply didn't take advantage of the zeitgeist when he had control of it. He should've used the initial hype to launch a decent kickstarter for a first episode thing to hock to other groups and studios. Or even go down the route of funding a short series for Gen Zed and see what the reaction would've been.

Original IPs like this without actual support of a big name to attract nostalgia or by being a good idea would've really not do too well anyway, but still. He could've at least tried.

What's it with Hayden and jokes? Was he always obsessed with joking or writing Twitter account of tranny comedian pushed his stroke-weakened mind over the edge?

You're right. Back when he released his trailer, Hayden could have capitalized on such interest as there was with a Kickstarter campaign. Why didn't he? This is what I can't understand. There will always be marks out there, ready to be bled dry - and whether the intention was to create an animated series or simply to rip off the potential SJW audience, it would have still succeeded in generating sweet, sweet tumblrbux.

It's a shame. A year ago, when it first appeared, I remember getting extremely excited over Black's Gen Zed trailer and the wealth of teeth-grinding, buttock-clenching cringe it promised us. (Remember, @Jaimas ? I remember us enthusiastically agreeing that this really could be the trainwreck to end all trainwrecks! :oops: Well, never mind...)

A pity, then, that it isn't going to happen. And yet I can't get too upset. Because while we didn't get the show we were hoping for, it nevertheless transpires we've a prize winning heifer on our hands. After all, it's not as if Hayden just appeared out of the blue with his tumblrite cartoon sitcom - turns out he already has a long list of "hits" to his name. Goodnight Burbank, Goodnight Burbank Reloaded, The Goodnight Burbank Revolutions, Teensy Tweets (a show so bad and so cold-bloodedly callous I found it genuinely offensive), The Cabonauts. Oh, and that strange, creepy diary-of-a-teenage-girl thing. Whatever that was. And all of those were atrocious. So really, I feel we should be celebrating. Hayden's been with us for over a decade now - we just weren't aware of him previously! And on that basis, I feel pretty sure we'll be hearing of plans for ground-breaking, envelope pushing new TV and web series for years to come...

I might do some digging on carbonauts. I've always seen that as the maximum creative potential hayden has.

I still think gen zed is coming. Hayden is desperate but also lazy when it comes to creative premises. He not going to abandon gen zed, he cant spin it into a win and continue his scam productions without it.

Also speaking of desperation-

Yeah, we were all hoping that this would be retarded as all hell.


It looks like someone made an IRL version of the same concept, though. Why is beyond me.

I think rather than the cringe GZ would've given us all is the fact that if it had been successfully backed, Hayden might've just run off with the money and left the VAs unpaid (after all, AFAIK, they did the trailer pro bono) and the backers without a show. Hayden would be doing tweets involving bad comedy while also on the run from the feds for tax evasion, and it would be glorious.

I hope you're right! Then again, I can see Hayden spinning a line of "evil KiwiChan GooberGleebs shut us down!" BS - he's certainly mad enough to think he could get away with it...

Well, you notice it's being distributed by hulu - the same people who took on Goodnight Burbank. Makes me wonder if one of the commissioning editors has a screw loose...

This is my idea! "It's not me you want! It's her - the girl with the Meowth doll! She's the one who harrassed the animators and VAs into jumping ship - and she ran off with all the money!"

Pew pew.

Cannon Films survived on doing basically this.

Cannon had a real good run during the 80s but its sheer inability to adapt when the 90s hit was its major downfall. Cannon operated on shameless opportunism and basically making awesome B movie ripoffs of things bigger studios were doing.

Can we point to Hayden's "good run" in comparison? Good Night, Burbank?

6 whole episodes and none of us can remember it. Hayden might've been the first to break from online to television but boy oh boy did he not exploit it. Since other online video streamers have gone into their own shows as well it proves he either didn't make the right contacts or pissed them frivolously away after Burbank.

It was a mix of both; he picked some video website for his online show and when that went under he lost 99.5% of all of his relevance. He then pissed it all away due to being too self-absorbed and thinking he's funny.
