comment |
A red octopus-cat seeks out his missing parents, venturing to strange places and meeting strange creatures. While having a nice cup of tea and relaxing.Octocat Adventure is a 5-part animated series purportedly created by 9-year old Randy Peters and uploaded to YouTube between March and September 2008. So Bad, It's Good in nearly all regards, the shorts were crudely illustrated using MS Paint, poorly orchestrated, and seemingly voiced ad-lib by a high-pitched Peters. Until the middle of the climatic final episode, that is.After the release of the final part of Octocat Adventure, the shorts were revealed to be created by professional animator David OReilly under the guise of Randy Peters as a measure of how well an animation's storyline is received regardless of how poorly executed the rest of the animation is. If the responses to the shorts are any indication, OReilly may very well have proven his point. |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Intentionally invoked in the beginning of parts 1 and 2 when an unseen third party asks what Octocat is up to. Octocat will also turn to the viewers on his own accord and seemingly addresses them. |

Bloodier and Gorier: Part 3 features much grimmer imagery than the first two instalments, as well as a surprisingly gory ending. |

Chekhov's Gun: Octocat's drawn out "roar" from part 1 turns out to be an effective weapon in part 5 capable of shattering the sky and defeating Big Bad. Also, the "Door of Truth" from part 2 which Octocat reenters in part 5 triggers the Animation Bump. |

Stylistic Suck: The First 4 Episodes and Half of 5 are animated in extremely crude MS paint drawings, Even The Animation Bump In 5 is stylized in a way it resembles the original drawings. |

Stealth Parody: With interesting results. Rather than lambasting the shorts, viewers would sarcastically praise them for their "artistic" value and conjure up deep interpretations of its plot, only to realize they have been trolled all along when part 5 rolled out. |

Random Events Plot: Plot events in parts 1 to 4 have little to no connection to each other whatsoever. One moment Octocat flees in panic from a tree-in-a-box, and in the next scene he casually has himself a cup of tea. |
