Snideful: Inside the Writers' Room

Last month we celebrated our 2 Year Anniversary and decided that our official tradition would be generating and developing origin stories for our main characters. At the same time, we decided that for every hundred episodes, we'd do a recap of the story. This episode marks our 100th storyboarding session in the Snideful Writers' Room so Todd made a list of all the major plotlines on our ti...

In the last episode, we concluded storyboarding the fifth season of our animated series. The episode following this one marks our 100th episode of the main podcast feed. So we didn't want to wedge a milestone episode between two storyboarding eps. So this week we're trying something new. We think the "Tier List" template is rife with possibilities for our particular brand of humo...

It’s the finale episode of our fifth season! Everything has boiled down to an epic battle for the end of Time. The Daughter of the Morningstar is pitched in eldritch combat with Villainica Obviosa. The Retro-Constables of the Alphanumeric Code are trying their best to fend off Fantasology’s horde of mutant zombies. Tucker and Todd are just happy to be there. Will Dawn’s millennia as a trickster go...

It’s a race for the final monkey paw! Villainica Obviosa has two in her possession and is subsequently growing more powerful by the day. Dawn has turned back to Jackie as a last resort. In a bizarre twist of fate, Tucker and Todd themselves are macguffins of sorts. Who will win the influence of the paws and become the ultimate Keeper of Time? Find out in the penultimate episode of Season 5!

We’re wrapping up loose ends as we push into the end-game of Season 5! Dawn makes an earthshattering realization about Bezolbub just as another monkey paw slips through their hands. Villainica Obviosa is capitalizing on the disarray at Fantasology to start pulling on Jordy Puppetson’s strings. And back in the emergency bunker, Tucker, Todd, and Dad are watching dueling zombie invasions converge on...

With its CEO demoted and unaccounted for, the helm at Abaddon is now up for grabs. The notorious children's author, Villainica Obviosa has her eyes set on the megacorp's leadership. But by removing Jeff Bezolbub from his seat of power, little does she realize she's invoked The Satan Clause. By law, the one who defeats the devil must take up his mantle. Which is just fine with Obviosa. She just did...

The trickster goddess, Dawn, and the usurped CEO of Abaddon, Jeff Bezolbub, are in a restricted section of Hell. They’re combing the ruins of a pre-humanity civilization for the next monkey paw on Dawn’s list. But unbeknownst to them, their search is about to unearth a shared history beyond their wildest imaginings. Topside, Tucker and Todd are planning an elaborate ruse to break Dad out of T.A.I....

Tucker and Todd awake in the custody of T.A.I.N.T after having been abducted at the end of last episode. The paranormal agency is bent on connecting the boys to Fantasology’s blood plague. Meanwhile, Dawn's quest for her ancient monkey paws has brought her to the doorstep of her second-oldest friend in the world.

While Dawn has been on a path of self-re-discovery, Fantasology has been maintaining its steady rise in the social engineering market. But the blood serum they’ve been distributing through their MLM program is about to fall into…well maybe not the wrong hands, but definitely some other hands! Will TAINT be able to connect the dots between Dawn’s Monkey Paws and Tucker and Todd’s seeming immunity t...

Dawn’s MyLO device was stolen at the end of last episode and this week she is chasing down the thief through a slapdash salvage settlement in the Outside. Little does she know that the culprit will soon become her most trusted companion and play a pivotal role in the forming of a witch’s coven that will survive millennia. Which is only too convenient because when present Dawn eventually finds her...

After her father shoved her through a destabilizing portal to the Outside, little 7-year-old Dawn was left to scavenge, salvage, and survive with only the help of her MyLO device. But when the holographic companion eventually loses power, the young Nephilim is truly on her own in the chaotic wilderness. Enter Faulty and Funky, a pair of Misfit Toys indigenous to the Outside. Disturbed by her cries...

Before he even had a place in Heaven from which to revolt, Bezolbub was a young angel in love with a human woman. And that love led to the birth of the world’s most contentious baby girl: Dawn, the first Nephilim. In an antediluvian age when angels and humans walked the earth in harmony, utopian societies polka-dot the planet, bolstered by the combination of Heavenly technology and Human community...

Holed up in his Hecksecutive Suite, the head of Abaddon has been hiding away in historical holotapes. Topside, Allen Stench is leading the Church of Fantasology on a raid of the hamstrung Abaddon HQ. But what starts as a mere spree of vandalism inadvertently escalates to a global cri...

Back on Earth, Straight Deputy is on the trail of her missing mentor and finally closing in fast with the help of the Fargo C...

With leaked footage of his testimony plastered all over the internet and the whole world now gossiping over some of his most private memories, Bezolbub has cracked. One memory in particular has pushed him over the edge and now he’s throwing caution to the wind in a Hail Mary attempt to use a VGN to hack into Heaven’s mainframe. Meanwhile, Ken and Ted are investigating the mysterious disappearance...

The trial is finally here! Albeit still under tight wraps. Jeff Bezolbub is finally on the stand, answering to the allegations lobbed against his corporation.

The satanic CEO seems serene and self-satis...

Allan Stench’s takeover of Fantasology is in full swing. With its two main competitors pitched in legal battle, the cult is poised to dominate the social engineering game with its latest pyramid scheme. Tucker and Todd have been watching so much InfoWhores, they’re now exactly stupid enough to fall for the cult’s recruitment campaign. Unfortunately, that also leaves them vulnerable to sabotage and...

The corporate goons at Abaddon have filed a defamation suit against the Butterfly Effect Agency for (accurately) calling out the megacorp’s latest string of human rights violations. Both parties want to keep the case off the books and so they’re holding the pre-trial proceedings in a fantasy-themed fast-casual legal franchise called Deposition & Discovery. But with the two dark entities steepe...

Meanwhile, Straight Detective has closed in on the first clue to Columbo’s disappearance. But the las...

Jeff Bezolbub’s legal team have assembled in the 9th ring of Heck. Abaddon is on the verge of announcing a world-altering new project that promises to transport users to another dimension of consumerism. But they don’t know that since their involvement with the dust-up at Asslantis, they’ve been on the Butterfly Effect’s radar. Corporate espionage is afoot and the rest of us are going to pay for i...

After a season of time travel and social engineering and cryptocurrency, Tucker and Todd are finally ready to take on the architect of their misery.

Will Tucker and Todd receive the Ultimate Boon in time to prevent reality as we know i...

Tucker and Todd are still in denial of Plato’s treachery so Aristotle is taking them to see some real world history lost to time. From the observation deck of the Butterfly Effect, he shows them the forging of the NFTs, the war for Mount Poon, and the subsequent sinking of Asslantis. He reveals the role his ex-mentor played in Mankind’s fall from grace. It’s almost too much to comprehend. But Plat...
