comment |
Apocalypse Lane is an animated web series created by Jon Etheridge and Bryan Mahoney for The Escapist. It details the lives of a number of "people" who have survived the Apocalypse, all living in one cul-de-sac. It starts out fairly episodic, but develops a plot later on. It used to update every Thursday at noon, and episodes range from about 4.5 to 8 minutes in length. Episodes can be found here.The cast of characters includes: Steve: A relatively normal-looking guy with a sentient tumor named Marty on his shoulder. He has an on-and-off relationship with Knife Fight. Cuddles: A talking, three-legged cat. He loves to smoke cigars, drink, play poker and crap wherever he wants. Gladys: An elderly woman with tentacles for arms. Keeps bugging Steve about his roof (or lack thereof). Willy: An irradiated zombie His sexual tirades are about as unsexy as you can get. Hickey: The pastor, who advocates the worship of "The Rooster," the symbol of which is the rooster-shaped wind vane on top of one of the houses. He has a sock puppet named Stinky, which appears to be a separate being from Pastor Hickey and far more belligerent. Big Worm: The friendly neighborhood giant worm. Likes watching Mouseass a bit too much. Knife Fight: Steve's old flame, former leader of a gang. Often mistaken for a Butch Lesbian, though she is proud of her muscles. The Gamerz: Currently the most feared gang in the United States. Seemingly harmless, but actually most (if not all) are Ax-Crazy. Includes: Humangoid: The Master of the Gamerz. A stupid git with a lot of extra mass and almost zero shame. No one questions his authority, though, even when he gives everyone bizarre nicknames. N: A sentient NES. The actual reason the Gamerz still function as a gang, constantly exasperated by Humangoid. Pumper: A jackalope(?) with a stick for shocking people and a sick sense of humor. Sounds remarkably like Kirby from There Will Be Brawl. Twitchy: The stereotypical nerd gamer. His weapons are a modified Power Glove and an NES Zapper. Frank: Willy's old lover. He also happens to be the owner of a gas station. Also, Barack Obama shows up... and he hasn't done too well since the apocalypse. He's still the President, but he's become a little... unhinged. He is advised by Rico. The Franklins. They are the epitome of creepy neighbors. Gulliver the vulture. Unadulterated horror. |

| | Apocalypse Lane (Web Animation) / int_2d4fa515 |
comment |
Ax-Crazy: The Gamerz, despite appearing to be mere nerdy outcasts, are almost all violently insane. Also, Gulliver the vulture. Seriously, he manages to creep out even some of the more violent members of the cast, pretty much any time he shows up. This includes the hyper-butch gang leader/assassin, the two guys who make a less-restrained version of Jackass, and even Frank is creeped out by Gulliver. Half the time we meet him he has just gotten done with murdering or torturing someone. |

Cluster F-Bomb: Most of the characters curse at least a little bit, but Cuddles takes the cake. Averted by Twitchy, who tends to berate anyone who uses even the most innocuous of swear words up until he begins to plan a mutiny against Humangoid. |

comment |
Noodle Incident: Willy's description of a particularly kinky night of sex combines this with Sound-Effect Bleep to create an increasingly disturbing and hilarious portrait of his sex life. The overall effect allows you to fill in the considerable gaps with your imagination, which explains why Cuddles then had to throw up. And it's with Frank, who it turns out is a homicidal gecko. |

Break the Cutie / Break the Haughty: Whether or not you agree with Barack Obama's policies and beliefs (take your pick of "cutie" or "haughty"), you know he must have suffered quite a bit to get from President of the United States to... well, where he is in the series. And it is a little sad if you think about it too much. |

President Evil: Barack Obama went absolutely nuts after the end of the world. He has essentially turned Washington D.C. into a functioning version of the Technodrome. This is also subverted, as it turns out that he was planning to use the time machine for good purposes, to prevent the apocalypse from happening, although he wasn't aware of the consequences of doing so. |

The Reveal |
| | Apocalypse Lane (Web Animation) / int_6b2b3b59 |
comment |
The Reveal: Many, many reveals, as we start to learn more about each character's backstory. To begin with *MASSIVE SPOILAGE AHEAD*: Big Pete/Humangoid is a cyborg (as is Willy), Steve is the tumor rather than Marty, and Big Worm and Gladys are both aliens here to protect the contents of the Vault hidden under Steve's house. Also, Gulliver had to eat his own brother when his mother abandoned their nest shortly after his birth. Frank is implied to be the abused son of the Geico gecko. Big Pete is a bomb intended to destroy the world. |

He then plays it straight when he asks for a bizarre list of items you could find at an average convenience store so he can actually begin cracking the safe. |

comment |
Killed Off for Real: Many characters get knocked off throughout the series, especially recently, but Father Hickey is the most prominent example. And, at the end, we now have Steve, Marty and Cuddles. |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Twitchy refuses to use swear words. In fact, it's considered a really bad sign the first time he uses the word "damnit" without catching or reprimanding himself. |

Bizarro Episode: Number 38, "Cat Shat Fever." Somewhat justified in that it's all Cuddles' drug-induced hallucination. The episode also reveals that Episode 3 was what Steve was experiencing at that time. |

Running Gag: Cuddles will crap anywhere, so long as no one is watching him. Also, Steve has no roof, and refuses to get it fixed. This second part actually becomes a plot point. Kazoo Cat. |
