Snideful: Inside the Writers' Room

Last episode we accidentally released the ghost of Harry Truman from the center of a dead star. Whenever we release or unleash things, it always goes bad. So we're gonna put him back. Little do we know that much greater forces at play have been waiting for Truman to wink back into existence for millenia. It was foretold. SO we also have to undo that. It's always up to use for some reason.

Since we screwed up so bad last week by releasing a psychic vampire into the world and significantly impacting the space-time continuum, we've been rounded up by an oversight committee and sentenced to hard time in a converted Dyson sphere. And...you know...hijinks ensue.

Tucker and Todd get addicted to a new MMO set in a shit-laden Medieval age where life actually seems preferable to what we've got now. But as per their usual antics, they accidentally unleash Steve Bannon upon reality and subsequently make it that much worse. Is there any authority in the universe which will hold them accountable for this cosmic crime?

We are back at it! Or at least trying. Todd felt like his brain was melting so we're trying to use those muscles again. This episode is kinda lukewarm but we crack a few jokes and even manage to steer into a half-decent idea. We somehow end up back inside Craig and explore the viability of an unmanned legal system. Ya dig?

Tucker and Todd return to the writers' room following a lengthy hiatus. Todd proposes producing primarily soundless silly skits. Tucker wonders whether the silence impacts anyone or everyone else. The silence gives birth to a new super-villain. The rest is Snidestuff.

Todd has been on sick leave and bedrest but he's been itching to have a chat with Tucker and so now this episode exists. Hypothetically. They don't do a whole lot of brainstorming or storyboarding, but they share a couple giggles and catch up on news.

Tucker and Todd head down to the fair grounds with the gang for Hometown's annual summer exhibition show. Naturally, havoc leads to harm and the boys find themselves indefinitely interned with a pack of impatient inpatients. Just as naturally, the ad hoc emergency room turns out to be much more than it appears. And supernaturally, the boys will have to get to the bottom of it.

The dragons invoke an ancient ritual to select a new pope. I can't remember what else...this was two days ago.

Typically on anniversary episodes, we explore the origins of our main characters. This year, we wanted to weave some origins of Craig and PlaNET into the Pink/Pale plot we've focused on for the majority of the current phase. So someone kills Craig and we once again must save his ass. That's how we celebrate four years. So celebrate with us!

While Homeland has always been stitched together with racism and xenophobia, the latest administration is embracing a more fascist approach as it’s begun kidnapping and disappearing citizens and abandoning them in the literal worst-rated hotel in actual Hell: The Alvador. But not until the F.R.O.S.T agents escorting deportees begin finding themselves imprisoned does anyone speak out against the ty...

Built on a foundation of quicksand miles above an anomaly that swallows money, the new Gatcha Strip Casino Resort is showing signs of sinking. The dragons retreat to their hidden paradise of ivory towers in order to regroup and plan their next move. But their repeated manipulation of temporal fields around Homeworld have alerted the Alphanumeric Order to their location. Now with the help of the Or...

Tired of shooting themselves in the foot, the party of opposition is finally making a move against the corpse of Jordy Puppetson. But as they attempt to resurrect the spirits of beloved ex-presidents, their brazen acts of necromancy draw the attention and ire of legal zealots and deities alike.

As the dragons consolidate more and more global power, they turn their sights on removing the remainder of the undesireables from their regime. As their apartheid project on the Pale has drawn eyes from throughout the cosmos, a glut of aliens have been pouring into Homeland to both support and protest the genocide. And so with the blessing of multiple nations, Homeland and the dragons begin mass d...

As the federal courts in Homeland are failing to hold any dragons accountable, a fringe clause is being enacted to summon the Right Honorable Court of St. George from an entirely other planet. The dragons themselves have a new scheme to capitalize on capitalism: an extravagant reality competition gameshow in which teams of entrepreneurs race each other through a complex series of obstacles and puz...

As the Dragons have emptied the Homeland treasury and dumped all the currency into their new lunar casino, the value of the currency itself has deflated and the citizens back on Homeworld are left to cobble together a barter system. Meanwhile, a celebratory festival is being planned to usher in the new era of wealth and prosperity for the moon-previously-known-as the Pale.

With the new Plaza Strip casino metropolis almost completed on what used to be the Pale, a ragtag crew of billionaire robber-baron oligarchs are staging an elaborate heist to loot the Homeland treasury. Alan Stench has teamed up with the Old Undertaker to pull off the biggest con in history. But how many coatings of conniving can a con conceive of?

Homeland has contracted Bruce Willis to harness an asteroid and direct its energy into demolishing and flattening the Pale. Abaddon, the Mother Board, Auntie Imperialism, and more all have interests in setting up shop on the new flatland. But nobody is more interested or more flat than Allen Stench. His old ties to Jordy Puppetson now leave him in direct control of the puppet presidency and he’s l...

Todd was having an existential crisis so we decided to shift the focus of the show a little. Instead of brainstorming plots for episodes of our animated series, we're going to start piecing together short audio-only segments that are more refined and produced sort of like a radioplay. In this episode of the Writers' Room, we're fleshing out that first play and solidifying some of our i...

We made an episode

The internet has been restored on Homeworld and attention on the conflict between the Pink and the Pale has receded back to the niche echo chambers it had previously manifested. Space Pirate (and official Devil) Annabelle Blackbush is taking advantage of the stupor to make backroom deals on the black market and profiteer off the lunar conflict. And through all of this, Stan is now faced with a mor...

Oops! Todd lost an episode so you're skipping one! In the last one we explored the romantic past between Stan and the space pirate Anabel. In this episode, we sort of do a Halloween special except not really. In keeping with the theme of the month, we look at sugar addiction and how it destroys lives. All that and a few tangents if you would just push play!

Stan has had quite enough of all the stone-aged nonsense so he’s taking initiative and heading to the Pink to see what can be done. An old military pal is among the Homeworld expats living on the small moon and Stan suspects he’ll have some intel. But the last thing he expects is for the entire debacle to lead back to the venerated and revered figurehead of the Pinktonian people: Pink Toni! This d...

In order to provide relief in the wake of the global internet shortage, world organizations are arranging outreach camps where affected individuals can seek resources. Naturally, this means a black market has surfaced to exploit the desperation of the downtrodden. Todd's gambling addiction in particular has been difficult to satiate and so the boys are in search of counselling. Luckily for them, B...

Tucker and Todd were actually on the cusp of accomplishing something productive when their respective addictions start calling. But some sort of internet outage is making it difficult for almost everyone in town to access their vices. Little does anyone realize that the trade routes from PlaNET to Homeworld have been shut down. A much larger issue is about to become everyone’s worst nightmare and...

We're back! We took the summer off and now we're as refreshed as two thirtysomething men with failing nervous systems can be! So we're here to tell stories again. And this time around, we'd like to discuss Addiction. We've hinted at Tucker and Todd struggling with various vices over the years but never shined a light on the depth of the issue. So this month while we take a break from some of our u...
