Mike and Melissa is a roughly 16-minute animated short film created by animation student, Mike Chenoweth in 2012. While it was meant to be an entire series, only the rough pilot, "Mike Goes Crazy" exists along with other lost media content.The plot of "Mike Goes Crazy" consists of a crudely-drawn fictionalized version of Mike Chenoweth living his everyday life, such as his failed attempts to get women to notice him, going to a party with his metalhead "friends," seeing an indie band preform live, and starting a riot.When Mike goes home, he decides to... um... "pleasure" himself out of self-pity, which results in the arrival of Melissa Mouffette, an anthropomorphic skunk woman. She explains that she is a Púca, a "benevolent animal spirit" conjured from Mike's mind to help him cope with his lack of female companionship. This leads to Mike believing that he's insane, to which she denies, saying that he just needs to have someone there for him and love him.After immediately having sex with her, Mike realizes that he still has a project to do for his animation composition class, which Melissa tells him not to worry about, and takes him out for a walk, where they discuss the outcomes of their relationship. Mike promises her that he won't forget about her if he finds someone else, and they both share a kiss under the moonlight.The pilot has often been compared to Sonichu and The Room (2003) by people who have viewed it, as it's currently unclear whether it was made intentionally bad or not."Mike Goes Crazy" can be found here. |

Take That!: There are several instances of this throughout the pilot: It's implied at the end of the pilot that the Freeze-Frame Bonus of the terrifying witch-like figure at the beginning is an unflattering caricature of Mike's ex-girlfriend. Mike makes fun of his animation composition class by depicting his professor as a rectangle-obsessed nutjob, even repeating the word "rectangle" multiple times as Mike zones out. "The Lameingtons - Un-Metal Song - The Happy Album." Mike depicts a Nickelback fan as a drooling, cross-eyed moron. Some of the characters' shirts have text on them, examples including "another esoteric reference," and "why...?" |

No Social Skills: Implied with Mike. There's one instance where he meets a girl at his bus stop, but rather than approach her himself, he thinks that she should say hi to him, and gets upset when she ignores him. Mike does have a few friends or acquaintances, such as his metal band friend group and Lenny and Choo Choo, but their relationships all seem one-sided at best. |

Jump Scare: When Mike is waiting at the bus stop and glances down at his "I am MIKE The Hardcore + Awesome" shirt, it jarringly cuts to a Freeze-Frame Bonus of a much more detailed picture of a monstrous, hag-like creature holding the aforementioned t-shirt as a guttural scream is heard. The image appears again towards the end of the pilot, where Mike implies that it represents his ex-girlfriend. |

comment |
Tulpa: While Melissa claims to be a Púca,note An Irish spirit or ghost that takes on the form of an animal that is said to bring either good or bad luck. This trope describes her more accurately. She was created by Mike's subconscious to balance his negativity by channeling his positivity into her, projecting her into reality (Or at least exclusively to Mike), in a form he finds attractive. |
