Shitpost (TV series)

Shitpost is a Canadian-American-Randomese 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 on New Years Day 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, Shitpost focuses on the lives of seven best friends -- Hal, Zepplyn, Noah, Min, Gavin, Lexi and Steve -- who live in a huge mansion together. Each episode revolves around them going on random adventures, trying to achieve unrealistic goals, and/or encountering mundane and insane obstacles in a humorous fashion.

Main characters

 * Hal: The de facto leader of the gang, Hal is a well-meaning and determined "go with the flow" type of guy, but instantly fails at bringing peace amongst his friends and fellow WTF City residents alike. At times, he can be selfish and easily influenced by the actions of others, assuming that it's the right thing to do. Hal happens to be Lexi's older brother and he fails miserably at keeping her in line almost all of the time. When he's not making bad decisions, he is very laid back, but doesn't mince his words, which can make him sound rude. Adding onto his overprotective instincts, he hates getting involved in troublesome things, but actively gets involved with them under the guise of having the best interests of everyone at heart. Hal is also a closeted weeaboo with a huge body pillow collection and goes to embarrassing lengths to keep everyone from finding out.
 * Zepplyn: An eccentric girl who is blissfully unaware of her surroundings. Zepplyn is a total airhead and gets distracted easily, which annoys those around her. Given her endless energy, she often does spontaneous things like jumping on her friends' backs for a piggyback ride. Zepplyn 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!  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 the mansion and usually communicates in short, choppy sentences. Sometimes he can be heard screaming questionable out-of-context anecdotes of his childhood from downstairs. He also carries a gun with him at all times and frequently pulls it out, even when it’s unnecessary.
 * Min: A death metal musician who is suspicious of strangers and stubborn when it comes to her beliefs. Min is carefree and blunt, especially when she speaks. She often argues with Hal over stupid things. Min secretly has a massive crush on Zepplyn, but refuses to admit it.
 * Gavin: Min's wacky cousin who lives with the main gang because he doesn’t know how to pay rent. He is a talented but humble scientist who 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 professions. Min often wears his hats during her band's concerts. Gavin is very intelligent and often provides the gang with special gear such as weapons and vehicles whenever necessary.
 * Pixel: The youngest of the group, Lexi is Hal's perpetually energetic younger sister. She is easily amazed and usually treated like a younger sibling by the other characters due to her age. Unlike the other characters, Lexi is completely aware that she is a fictional character.
 * Steve: A laid-back anthropomorphic koala who 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. A running gag in the series is him acting as Lexi and Hal's legal guardian.

Recurring characters

 * Dave Whiteman: A neurotic security guard who lives across the street from the main gang. 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 "Mayor 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 short of greedy and egotistical.
 * Patrick: He is basically a god with full power who is forced to step in whenever our main cast does something really stupid.
 * Ollie: Hal's childhood friend and next-door neighbor. 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.
 * Soggus: A wombat who is Steve’s best (Australian) friend. Like Steve, he loves football (Australian soccer) and takes it extremely seriously.

Minor characters

 * The Clockman: Patrick’s mentally unstable, immortal father. He is the God of Time.
 * El Wiwi: Patrick’s inanimate pet cotton ball. Patrick acts like she is sentient, but in reality, she is not.
 * Idiot and Noob: Patrick’s infant sons. They are conjoined twins (craniopagus).
 * Fonzie and Adam: Lexi'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, while Fonzie is laid-back and collects leather jackets. Only Lexi and the rest of the gang can hear them speak.
 * 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 Min is in. She is able to possess people and walk through walls.
 * 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.
