Squid Fist Bump pays homage to favorite elements of popular shows like: SNL, Looney Toons and Dr. Katz. A half-hour animated comedy anthology comprised of six diverse recurring sketches all linked together by one guest star (in 2-D)! The guest performer (ala Steve Martin, Norm Macdonald, Roseanne Barr, Robin Williams) kicks off each episode with a comic monologue then sticks around to play, well, a stick insect maybe, in segments like:
“Junior Mantis”- High school is even tougher when you have the embarrassment of molting your exoskeleton, or worry that your marching band will be eaten by a bird. It’s worst for Junior Mantis, son of a dead-beat praying mantis whose mate ruined his life by refusing to bite his head off. All Junior wants is to make it through high school, go out with the lovely Gracie, and loose his head like every other self-respecting mantis.
“Dr. Dunn IV D.D.S.”- The fourth namesake in the line of Chance Dunns knows that to compete in today’s economy one must find a niche in the market and without risk there is no reward. Therefore he opens his practice, “Oral Hygiene for the Undead,” 9p to 5a catering specifically to vampires. Hungry though they are, these bloodsuckers will not kill their dentist, “and have a toothache for the rest of your infinitely long life?!” There is nothing stopping them, however, from murdering each episode’s new receptionist.
“Happy Trail”- A family of old timey pube lice travel the treacherous lands of one man’s body, Oregon Trail style, to the promise land scalp. Inclement dandruff weather, native yeast hostiles, and the usual stresses of a family road trip slow their progress. Pushing on with bedbugs pulling their wagon and their loyal pet ringworm, Digger, tagging along, Ma, Pa, Elijah, Ruthie and Grandma brave the wild hairy terrain.
Fast paced, quick-witted, always hilarious and sometimes cringe worthy, “Nate’s Navel, the finest yeast infected town north of the taint!” Audiences will love the recurring characters and cheer for their favorite guest stars transformed into bees, werewolves, rogue anarchist eyelash mites. Adolescent insects, tooth-achy vampires, old-timey pube lice and one great guest host inhabit a world of animated sketch fun: Squid Fist Bump!
