The Darly Boxman Show

A popular Pink City local kids show from the 90s.

I will always remember that this was delayed at least JUST SLIGHTLY because gooseworx couldn’t stop drawing spamton

[granttomko]

Can we talk about how terrifying it is when he says “why are you so mad at me” to milkpooch? It was like a thin layer of ice but you can feel the unbridled, boiling rage that’s just underneath

[NoOne-nmoy]

Gooseworx's animations have the perfect mixure of unsettling vibes and peak comedy.

[jaziliynn]

Theres something so uncanny about this style of animation where its fully 2D, but stretches and twists like its 3D. Love it

I love how the water isn’t even water, it’s just a gelatinous substance.

Things we can glean about Darly in this short:
- He gets overenthusiastic and/or frustrated easily.
- He genuinely cares about his friends. 💜
- He's trying, man. He's trying his best.

"I wouldn't remember this if I were you" is the best thing that could have been said.

Fun behind-the-scenes fact: the studio didn't have the effects technology required for the darly boxcar to appear to drive itself, so they hired invisible-o to drive the car when none of the characters were in it

"What in the sweet and sour Fuck does that mean?"
Quoting that every day.
No one can stop me.

[taffyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

darly: “hi kids! welcome back to the show!”

also darly: “OKAY YOU LITTLE SON OF A BI-“

[Apotheosister]

Darly Boxman makes me so uncomfortable, he's equally comforting and terrifying and that is excellent.

[KumoThespood]

I like how Mimlimim's speech bubble knocked Darly back a bit when she turned to talk to him at 1:19, that's honestly a cute and neat little detail.

Love how emotive and expressive Darly’s movements are to compensate for his lack of mouth/eyebrows

[dinovlogs]

I never get tired of learning about these creatures.

[spaaka]

I love Darly slowly getting more and more upset and tense as it goes on, like they've done thousands of takes even though it feels like this was all one take. Every single line in this is delivered PERFECTLY, especially "I wouldn't remember this if I were you." and how Darly's laughter at the lake over the hill loses substance so quickly and the "everyone get in the TRAIIIIN" is just. he sounds so done with everything happening around him

[Afrominican]

"Will I ever be as good a host as you?" he says to the host who:
-Went off script for the entirety of an episode
-Cursed at his fellow actor, on a seemingly children's show
-Chucked said fellow actor across the studio(?)
-Drowned during an episode
-Is generally mentally unstable
-hasn't been seen since 2005

[Kokia]

I like how Darly has a tinge of red in his eyes almost implying he’s high

Oh my gosh they referenced this is TADC! These are the exact sound effects used when Pomni is trying to swear. In the exact order too!
