100k Q&A Extras and Cut Content
🕑 Added 2023-07-16 13:00:08 +0000 UTCThe 100k Q&A ended up being huge, with a ton of extras and cut content. Here is as much as I can gather! I may update this with more, so check back later to see if anything new has been added. (The title will be marked with "update.")
Earliest Animations I Could Find
As promised, here's a few other things I could dig up when searching for my oldest animations:
I think I animated a few more of these "growing" stick figure animations.
I was really into animating stick figures in general. I guess that way you can just focus on movement and not detail.
This might be one of the oldest things I've created on a computer. I've actually had this saved for a while, but unfortunately everything else it came with might be lost to time.
I had originally used Photobucket to store everything when I was a kid, which now requires a huge payment to access everything. But what's weird is I was able to hunt down some of these gifs through hyperlinks (hence how I found it via my old Neopets, which embedded it) meaning that the Photobucket is still live, just not allowing users to access unless they pay. Scummy!
No, I will not link the Neopets page. I have some dignity.
I originally thought this was a straight, unabashed ripoff of that one stick figure vs. door animation on the early interwebs, but looking at the Know Your Meme page, I think it was created in a direct homage with other users on some forum.
Original Skateboard Scene
In the video, I animated an entire joke about how I worked full-time, and did a kickflip on a skateboard because... I don't know, it just felt funny in the moment.
But as the text says, I got laid off literally the day after, and so I changed the scene a little to make a joke about that. I think it ended up a little funnier that way, anyways.
The original joke involved a very weird question:
This question ended up being cut to make room for the layoff joke, but it still ended up being fully animated.
You can find the scene how it was originally animated HERE.
But funnily enough, this had an even earlier version -- my script originally answered the question with a very dumb Dr. Strangelove reference, specifically this scene.
My answer was originally "Have you got 55 cents?", which I felt was an equally weird answer out of context, and I wanted to animate Doodley in a suit answering it at a telephone booth with a bomb about to land in the background.
Cut McDonald's PC Specs Question
This question was hilarious and I went as far as voicing my answer below, but I couldn't find a place it could fit without killing the pacing. Thus, it lives on here.
GTX 3080…Double Quarter Pounder with Bacon.
32GB of RAM. Medium Fries.
Ryzen 9 5900x. 40 Piece Chicken McNuggets with a side of buffalo.
Gigabyte X570 Aorus… Big Breakfast with Hotcakes.
Windows 10… Vanilla Cone. You know why.
Wizard Skateboard
I wanted something fun on the bottom of the skateboard, and for some reason came to the conclusion that old-school 80's fantasy wizard art would be perfect.
However, nothing fit quite as well as this:
This is "The Astronomer" by Myles Pinkney. I didn't want to use it without permission, but tragically I wasn't able to get a hold of the artist. Maybe someday I'll commission an artist for a cool wizard skateboard of my own.
