Shitpost (TV series)

Shitpost is a Canadian-American animated comedy-drama television series created and developed by Choerryism for The Steamed Clams Channel. The series is widely known for being in development hell for three years before finally airing in the summer of 2021. New episodes air every Friday at 9:00 PM on The Steamed Clams Channel.

The series chronicles the strange lives of a group of friends as they interact with the world around them and try to get around a wide variety of obstacles in comedic, cringeworthy ways. It employs a satirical style of comedy with some occasional dramatic elements.

Premise
Set in fictitious WTF City, Cringe Island, British Columbia, Shitpost focuses on the lives of eight best friends -- Ricky, Bella, Noah, Olive, Fleppa, Pixel, Steve and Genesis -- who live in a huge mansion together. Each episode revolves around them going on random adventures and encountering mundane and insane obstacles in a humorous fashion.

Main characters

 * Ricky: The de facto leader of the gang, Ricky is well-intentioned, diligent and affable, but instantly fails at bringing peace amongst his friends and fellow WTF City residents alike. Ricky is also a closeted weeaboo and goes to embarrassing lengths to keep his friends from finding out.
 * Bella: A cheerful, eccentric, happy-go-lucky girl who is blissfully unaware of her surroundings and works as a party planner. Bella often fails to read the room and insults others without realizing it, but is extremely good-natured and would never make anyone sad on purpose.
 * Noah: A strange humanoid s by TVXQ! from the world of Robloxia who can bend, shape and twist his body in disturbing ways, which proves to help the gang out on multiple occasions. He lives in the basement of Ricky’s house and usually communicates in short, choppy sentences. Sometimes he can be heard screaming questionable anecdotes about his childhood -- almost always without any context -- from downstairs. He also carries a gun with him at all times and frequently pulls it out, even when it’s unnecessary.
 * Olive: A selfish kleptomaniac who thinks of herself as a nice, compassionate person. Olive is suspicious around strangers and is stubborn when it comes to her beliefs. She often argues with Ricky over stupid things. She is also the frontwoman of a local death metal band, in which she does the vocals and plays the electric guitar. Olive secretly has a massive crush on Bella, but refuses to admit it.
 * Fleppa: Olive’s wacky cousin who lives with the main gang because he doesn’t know how to pay rent. He sells silly hats for a living. He is bumbling and shy, but he makes up for those flaws with the immense passion he has for his job. Olive often wears his hats during her band’s concerts. Fleppa is intelligent and often provides the gang with special gear such as weapons and vehicles whenever needed.
 * Pixel McDank: A 12-13 year old kid who cannot age past those numbers (seriously, every year on her birthday she turns either 12 or 13). The youngest of the main gang, Pixel is perpetually energetic, easily amazed and usually treated like a younger sibling by her friends due to her age. Unlike the other characters, Pixel is completely aware that she is a fictional character.
 * Steve: A laid-back anthropomorphic koala who is a common source of non-sequiturs in the show. He poses as the designated voice of reason and often gives wise advice to his acquaintances. Although he is calm in most situations, he becomes extremely hyper and even volatile when he watches football (Australian soccer) on TV. Whenever someone catches him angrily screaming at the TV or even asks about it, he acts like nothing ever happened. He wears sunglasses and a green hawaiian shirt with white flowers on it.
 * Genesis: The final member of the gang, Genesis is Pixel’s worrywart of an older cousin, often trying to keep her in line (and failing miserably). Aside from this, Genesis chooses to be a “woman of few words” when speaking, but this facade breaks when she panics. Genesis is also an aspiring magician, with Bella often pestering her to do increasingly odd tricks.

Supporting characters

 * Dave Whiteman: A neurotic security guard who is a neighbor of Ricky’s. Dave frequently goes to extreme lengths to impress the higher-ups at his job. Unfortunately, no one takes him seriously, so he takes it out on the main gang.
 * Mayor Fuckhead Flatbread: Commonly known as simply "Mr. Flatbread", he is the notoriously corrupt mayor of WTF City who is rumored to be keeping his past as a chippendales dancer under wraps in order to keep running the city. He is nothing more than greedy and egotistical.
 * Thanos: Noah’s pet egg. He doesn't really speak, but when he does, he always says random phrases such as “scooby snacc” and “choco doobies.” Thanos picks stuff up with his mouth because he has no limbs, and navigates by floating.
 * Patrick: He is basically a god with full power who is forced to step in whenever our main cast does something really stupid.
 * Rei: A funny ghost girl who exists and haunts the mansion the main gang lives in. She is a fan of the death metal band Olive is in. She is able to possess people and walk through walls.
 * Ollie: Ricky’s childhood friend. He is a crazy guy who frequently provides the main gang with energy drinks and warnings about “the apocalypse”. Ollie is surprisingly good at taking care of animals and calms down greatly when he is around them, but he doesn’t realize it.

Minor characters

 * The Clockman: Patrick’s mentally unstable, immortal father. He is the God of Time.
 * Idiot and Noob: Patrick’s infant sons. They are conjoined twins (craniopagus).
 * El Wiwi: Patrick’s pet cotton ball. Patrick acts like she is sentient, but in reality, she is not.
 * Amy: Bella’s sister who has an extremely pessimistic perspective of the world. She and Bella do not keep in touch at all due to their contrasting personalities. Amy is regarded by others as annoying and antagonistic, often singling out others for the fun of it.
 * Soggus: A wombat who is Steve’s best friend. Like Steve, he loves football (Australian soccer) and takes it extremely seriously.
 * Fonzie and Adam: Pixel’s sentient alien plushies. They are twin brothers who frequently crack jokes and finish each other’s sentences. Adam is known to be very opinionated when it comes to films. Only Pixel and her friends can hear them speak.
