Do you like dark subversive animation?

There's an old British show called Monkey Dust. It's very dark, very raw, very British, sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing. Worth your time if you like things way left of center.

Have a look, why don't you?

Monkey Dust was brilliant. Unfortunately there were only three series made (British series, so very short - I think 18 eps in total). One of the co-creators died and no more were made.

Bruce, is that an implication that I'm somehow advertising for a long-cancelled, poorly received television show? I'm not sure who would be paying for that.

I thought he meant that an ad played for too long before the video starts?


Also - it wasn't exactly poorly received. It won several awards and was pretty popular at the time, iirc. Niche, sure - but for a Friday night animated comedy it had prety strong viewing figures.

I don't imply, I said the ad's too long.

The length of the ad shall be long, and long shall be the length of the ad. Neither shall the ad be too short, or medium, but precisely long, and no further. Ad blocking is right out.
