Dick Figures is back, and it has brought a hairy character to its latest party. Zack Keller and Ed Skudder’s web series (which spawned its own movie in 2013) has returned with a three-episode series of branded videos sponsored by Jack Links beef jerky.
The first of the three new videos arrived on the Mondo Media YouTube channel on October 1st. In it, the crudely-drawn Dick Figures protagonists (who have always had a penchant for pranks) look to pull a fast one on Sasquatch during a homecoming dance. Regular TV viewers will recognize this as a spin on Jack Links long running Messin’ with Sasquatch ad campaign, in which passersby encounter Bigfoot, yank his chain in some silly way, and receive due punishment when the legendary cryptid retaliates.
Given their shared interest in slapstick humor, Dick Figures studio Six-Point Harness and Jack Links ad agency Carmichael Lynch are natural partners.

We've got another great animated short film for you to watch today. This is a fantasy western called "Solstice," and it was created by Lynn Wang and Ed Skudder. They made it in their free time over the course of 2-3 months, and it turned out amazingly well. The animation is absolutely beautiful, and I would love to see more! This thing gave me goosebumps, and it should seriously be adapted into a feature-length movie. It is an incredible tease to something bigger and better. Here is a note from the creators.
We both split the work 50/50 from background painting to rough animation to clean up and everything between, however Ed did the music and compositing and Lynn headed up the design. As of right now, this short is it, but hopefully one day we can expand on the world!
I really hope they do expand on this world. Enjoy the short!

With the Dick Figures movie behind them, Ed Skudder and Zach Keller are moving on to new projects. Specifically, the duo behind one of the most popular animated web series of all time has offered up Aachi & Ssipak, an English-language version of a bonkers Korean cartoon. Aachi & Ssipak is a 2006 animated film directed by Jo Beom-jin. It is set in the future, where human excrement is used as an energy source and many people are addicted to bright blue "Juicybars". The titular duo sell Juicybars on the black market, and must fend off throngs of junkie to defend their stock. In the first episode, these junkies take the form of violent blue mutants called the Diaper Gang. It's not hard to see how this source material appeals to Skudder and Keller, who are best known for creating crass, foul-mouthed, violent stick figures. After gaining the blessing of Aachi & Ssipak's Korean distribution,...

Mondo Media will be relaunching the 2006 Korean animated cult film Aachi & Ssipak! The digital launch (YouTube, iTunes and Google Play) is February 11. The DVD launch is March 11. *They have enlisted the help of Dick Figures creators Ed Skudder and Zack Keller (reportedly a YouTube sensation?) who have rewritten the script and re-voiced the feature. Yes. It will be dubbed. Check out the trailer below.Sometime in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have somehow engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. To reward production, the government hands out extremely addictive, popsicle-like "Juicybars," which in turn also makes them constipated. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading black market Juicybars. Through...

After more than a year in production, Dick Figures: The Movie is here. The slapstick, animated adventure is now available across multiple platforms, including fairly new pay-to-view service Yekra. Dick Figures' Yekra release most piqued our interest because Zack Keller and Ed Skudder's film represents (at least from our point of view) the most intriguing release from the platform since it closed a $3 million funding round in May. With more than 350 million views across all of its episodes, the Mondo Media web series clearly has a huge audience, but will they pony up to purchase the film? Will the fans who donated to the Dick Figures Kickstarter campaign be willing to dip into their wallets a second time to support their favorite stickmen? Yekra Cmo Matuskiewicz thinks so. "It starts with content, the film is amazing and seriously funny," he said. "After meeting with the creators Zack and...

Mondo Media's most dickish stick figures are less than two months away from their big screen debut. Ed Skudder and Zach Keller have dropped the trailer for the Dick Figures movie, which is based on the animated Mondo Media web series of the same name. As expected, the trailer promises viewers more of what made Dick Figures a multi-million view smash hit in the first place. There will be more stick-on-stick violence, more bromantic adventures for protagonists Red and Blue, and more crude gags based around vomit, Tourette's and everything in between. Hey, they gotta give the fans what they want. The Dick Figures movie raised more than $313,000 on Kickstarter, and the higher-than-expected budget allowed Skudder and Keller to make enough stick adventures to fill 73 minutes of screen time. According to an official update from June, the creative team is putting the final touches on the film, which will be...

Dick Figures, the popular Mondo Media animated series, has begun its trip to the 'big screen'. The series, which follows two uncouth stickmen and has received at least one million views for each of its 39 episodes, has released a video cataloging the recording sessions for its upcoming film, which will be a 40 minute long special. The film project began in the summer of 2012, when a Kickstarter campaign raised over $313,000, allowing creators Ed Skudder and Zach Keller to turn their baby into a long-form version. The latest update shows the film's cast recording their lines in a small booth, which mostly amounts to plenty of funny noises

I really don't put much stock in the International Animated Film Society's 2013 Annie Awards, which is why I didn't rush to report on their results on Saturday. One year Disney and Pixar boycott the event, feeling there was an unfair advantage paid to larger contributing sponsors, DreamWorks being the primary example. So with such a nasty stench over the event what good does it do to pay it much mind? That said, I'll be brief in mentioning Wreck-It Ralph topped Saturday night's winners with five awards, including Best Animated Picture. The awards have something like a 75% streak when it comes to helping predict the eventual Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature and as the days have gone on, it's looking more and more like Ralph will be this year's winner (see my predictions here). Pixar's Brave, Laika's ParaNorman and DreamWorks' Rise of the Guardians each took home two awards in lesser,...

If you don’t know the name Mondo Media - one of (if not) the internet’s “leading multi-platform distributors of animation for teens and young adults” that routinely garners 70 million views for its programs across its many networks - you probably most definitely do know the name of at least one of their original web series productions. The most notable is the online cartoon Happy Tree Friends, which features a familiar cute and cuddly cast of pastel-colored fluffy anthropomorphic animals with multiple lives, morbid imaginations and violent predilections. They've enticed internet audiences to click play since 1999. There’s Dick Figures, too. That’s the Mondo Media original animated web series created by the very talented Ed Skudder about two dysfunctional, wannabe fratacular, socially awkward, odd couple, stick figure friends. The show debuted in November 2010 and has already racked up over 50 million views across 21 episodes. Combine those figures with the...
