The Cartoon I've spent the past 2 years working on; Catching Up! I had a lot of fun working on this and was glad to get to work with so many talented folks out there, hope ya like it!
"don't be jealous cause I got two BITCHES" this show really does feel like an actual middle school environment, complete with the awkward way Rob swears and the reaction of Clay to that line. And because of that I give it a 0/10 erghhhhh I could feel the awkward memories already
Yeah it doesn't end. I'm 36 now and it's pretty much all the same. Oh I've tried, there are times where things go a bit differently, but overall it's the same underneath.
srpelo's voice acting work on the spanish dub blew my expectations, im so used to hearing his voice in such a jokey manner that hearing it in this more serious tone in terms of a youtube cartoon makes me realize how great he really is at doing this
@@KingMAXIMUM-up4rzYeah, true. But I think Viv was just trying to sell into the fact all the main characters are from hell in Helluva/Hazbin. Other than that I agree 😭
@@xXSunStrikeXx okay but alastor doesn't curse and he's the most evil out of all of them and also just cause there in hell doesn't mean they have to be childish cause that's how it comes off
@@KingMAXIMUM-up4rz I mean, I get that, but even though in the show their heaven and hell system is crappy, it makes sense a lot of the demons there would curse a lot. That's just my opinion/thought on it though.
@@xXSunStrikeXx i don't know how the system being crappy leads to them just cursing all the time it just makes it seem like it's trying to hard to come off like a adult animation show but hey if that's how you feel then that's cool

Hey Mark, this is really good. Gives off a prime Cartoon Network vibe. Really happy to see my favorite creators cameo together, can't wait for more episodes. Awesome job! 🧡
This pilot gave something new: The combination of a cartoon "for children" with characteristics of a cartoon for adults with the realistic characteristics of how some teenagers can get started in the world of substances like alcohol. It surprised me. Good job, mate.
I love how you can see the influences wore on the sleeves of this show, the thicker outlines in the outside from the fairly odd parents, the sonic esc character design, I love how the characters act like they’re in high school, they do mild swears occasionally and are vaguely aware of adult ish topics but it’s not overdone, they feel like accurate teenagers
Indie animations are like suppressed emotions that build up inside you, that being “pleaaaaaase just let me say bad words” and then they bad word everywhere. Its beautiful
Not all inde animation has characters swearing all the time, some indie animated series are aimed at an older audience and most inde pilots don't even used a lot of cursing at all, you're thinking the popular indie animated series such the amazing digital circus and helluva boss and the hazbin hotel pilot as well of other pilots that are pretty much popular with in indie animation in general
Why are they at the bar than? It would’ve been funnier if it was just a youth group, but Rob is treating it like a club, whilst Clay and the rest of them are bored out of they’re minds, and fit the themes more.
Watched it again, and I just realised that Rob was trying to also get "girlfriend" for Clay, he really cares for his socially awkward so much, it is so sweet !!! Also, R.I.P. Worm GF, she was truly loved; even though she was a worm.
I like the fact that it's about a introvert and extrovert. Because it explores how their differing personalities influence their friendship and interactions. It highlights the challenges and benefits of their dynamic, showcasing how they complement each other while also dealing with personal struggles and emotional growth.

What struck me about this pilot is how accurately Rob and Clay portray the awkwardness of being a teenager. Swearing only when parents are out of earshot, feeling like you have to have a date even if you don't want one/aren't ready, how that first sip of alcohol tastes so weird... and Clay's social anxiety really resonated with me too, as someone who turned 16 during the pandemic and is working to regain my confidence. Clay's "catching up" to communicate and relate to his peers, while Rob's "catching up" to the idealized picture of a young man growing-up-too-fast. It works really well.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the plot as well, but I can’t help but feel like I’ve seen this exact story format done over several times. I’m trying to pinpoint an example…but I’m struggling here. Key moments such as the introvert having a panic attack to then getting drunk, and then standing up for his friend later on. It’s all too familiar…
@@Cicadacakes It’s possible, but I’ve never seen that show (heck the last “adult” animated series I can recall is Final Space). It feels like I’m having a deja vu moment…except that I know for a FACT I’ve seen something like this before.
As someone who still has social anxiety, yeah I totally get what Clay is dealing with, he's not very social, even still I'm trying to regain my confidence too...
@@stealth0757I mean if u can't find examples then it's not really been done that much before. The trope of just standing up for your friend is something that's been done since the beginning of animation
Imagine just being Clay in this situation, but without the extraverted companion and just the "social obligation" go through with it, if it were an official event
Everything about this is peak. Especially the facial animations - absolutely STUNNING. This needs to get picked up by the algorithm ASAP and become a full series. Loved every second 💙🔥👑🔥💙🔥💙
Clay is my spirit animal holy shit. I was always the kid who kept to themselves and never liked going to clubs. Social interaction with strangers is like poison to me.
Same it lietrally my entire high school life i had few friends but mostly study and being alone. I hate high school the teacher and study was good it was the forgetful crazy pupils there were insane i just glad i finally survive and all my hard work and study was worth it to get into college than uni and now graduate. Seriously i hated teenage and high school life worst part of life ever.
I love how it's structured at the start as a family friendly sort of animation, but then progresses to two teens exploring things such as alcohol, hooking up, going to clubs and so on. Loving this already edit: not to be that person but nearly 300 likes gawd dang ty
I adore this. Mainly because there's not much of a big premise, and just a slice of every chaotic day life. And like, I don't have to know why Clay and Rob are friends. They have a wonderful dynamic despite their differences, and it's very wholesome to witness. I love Clay's introvertness, and Rob trying to get him out if his shell. It's also wonderful that Rob isn't too pushy, and at the end, he apologises to Clay because he knows Clay didn't want to come. And when Clay said he had a good time overall, it shows they do care for one another.
This is gonna be a peak in the channel's history. You went from making videos on an Ipad, to making video essays on tv shows, and now your own cartoon pilot. This is the best day to be an LS Mark fan.
@@SonicCommentsoffical In his video "Am I Too Harsh On Media?" he talks about his history as a youtuber and how he got to where he is now. In the video he talks about how he was 13 at the time and mostly filmed videos on his ipad. Most of them are unlisted now, but can still be found on this playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLrao2BNKSh0zb67z5G2gM1QrTMYvMhtgt.html
I remember when he was just a edgy teen making rant videos in his room, crazy to see how how much he's evolved. I feel like I'm watching my kid move out...
Making Caddy as a sort of Bandicoot would’ve been the ultimate cameo for him. It’s great hearing the nice range of VA here, I genuinely can’t wait for the next episode, Mark!
@@jonesblack1742 MY BOI CHRIS WAS THERE?? I saw Tomar, but I didn't recognize him too much and may have to rewatch it again. Zach has that voice that doesn't really need changing sense it can usually fit a character, I love the energy this cast brought, I hope more episodes can come out as soon as they can.
If I had a nickel for every time Michael Kovach voiced a gray cat in an indie cartoon, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
ngl clay is definitely the stand out its like you took squidward and timmy turner and mix them together with there best personality’s and made them a teen
As a teen going through the rough and awkward stages of high school, this absolutely resonated with me. I had a good laugh but also got to feel for the characters (a little too much feeling for comfort lol) Clay is so relatable for me, and I just loved this pilot in general. I hope more people see this so we can get more episodes!!
This is a really impressive pilot, the animation is legitimately better than a lot of what airs on TV, I would say though that I noticed many pacing issues that made a lot of the jokes not quite stick the landing for me, which can be fixed in editing, but overall I would say that this genuinely shows promise and potential
@@AnubhabDey-l8wlol probably but I swear I don’t mean that in the sense that I want her to use me as a coatrack, i just think delivery on that is good 😭
Love the moments where the animation changes for a split second like the hands shaking and the snooty girls being rendered as PNGs of real life animals.

Michael kovach is in literally every indie cartoon I swear to god
Istg he’s gonna be the next Dwayne Johnson or Jack Black
Reminds me of Chris Pratt
yeah but Michael is actually a good voice actor lol
And bro fr always plays some one who's mean
@@CubeytheawesomeI'd say that he's more of the Tom Kenny of indie voice acting
Congrats on EXCEEDING the Kickstarter goal... Subbed just to see episode 2.
The fact Robbie screamed *”JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT THESE GODDAMN JACKETS!”* was too funny.

What struck me about this pilot is how accurately Rob and Clay portray the awkwardness of being a teenager. Swearing only when parents are out of earshot, feeling like you have to have a date even if you don't want one/aren't ready, how that first sip of alcohol tastes so weird... and Clay's social anxiety really resonated with me too, as someone who turned 16 during the pandemic and is working to regain my confidence. Clay's "catching up" to communicate and relate to his peers, while Rob's "catching up" to the idealized picture of a young man growing-up-too-fast. It works really well.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the plot as well, but I can’t help but feel like I’ve seen this exact story format done over several times. I’m trying to pinpoint an example…but I’m struggling here. Key moments such as the introvert having a panic attack to then getting drunk, and then standing up for his friend later on. It’s all too familiar…
@@stealth0757 Maybe it's something that happened with Brian and Stewie? Or perhaps another adult swim show?
@@Cicadacakes It’s possible, but I’ve never seen that show (heck the last “adult” animated series I can recall is Final Space). It feels like I’m having a deja vu moment…except that I know for a FACT I’ve seen something like this before.
As someone who still has social anxiety, yeah I totally get what Clay is dealing with, he's not very social, even still I'm trying to regain my confidence too...
@@stealth0757I mean if u can't find examples then it's not really been done that much before. The trope of just standing up for your friend is something that's been done since the beginning of animation

This is amazing!! I love it and the dynamic of the characters 🎉
Imagine just being Clay in this situation, but without the extraverted companion and just the "social obligation" go through with it, if it were an official event
Having micheal kovach voicing one of the characters 100% boost's the shows popularity

Of course the first shot of this indie episode has a Brian Griffin reference, wouldn’t be an LS Mark production without one.
If he weren't there, nothing would be the same
I surprisingly enjoyed this. This was a pretty good build up into progression of two characters starting off with some kind of relationship. Subbed!
Everything about this is peak. Especially the facial animations - absolutely STUNNING. This needs to get picked up by the algorithm ASAP and become a full series. Loved every second 💙🔥👑🔥💙🔥💙
I know, right! I also hope this goes on to a full on series
Woah! Wasn’t expecting to see you here, Danno!
Yeah
DANNOOOOOOO
You watch him cool
Clay is my spirit animal holy shit. I was always the kid who kept to themselves and never liked going to clubs. Social interaction with strangers is like poison to me.
no matter how npc it may sound, but same
Lol same
Well not anymore
Im an ambivert, I like making friends sometimes, but also don’t like going any place that’s not my house LOL
Same it lietrally my entire high school life i had few friends but mostly study and being alone. I hate high school the teacher and study was good it was the forgetful crazy pupils there were insane i just glad i finally survive and all my hard work and study was worth it to get into college than uni and now graduate. Seriously i hated teenage and high school life worst part of life ever.

I adore this. Mainly because there's not much of a big premise, and just a slice of every chaotic day life. And like, I don't have to know why Clay and Rob are friends.
They have a wonderful dynamic despite their differences, and it's very wholesome to witness.
I love Clay's introvertness, and Rob trying to get him out if his shell. It's also wonderful that Rob isn't too pushy, and at the end, he apologises to Clay because he knows Clay didn't want to come. And when Clay said he had a good time overall, it shows they do care for one another.
I love how the cat lady was just FIGHTING for the jacket and then was like “oh no it’s not mine” 😭

This is gonna be a peak in the channel's history. You went from making videos on an Ipad, to making video essays on tv shows, and now your own cartoon pilot. This is the best day to be an LS Mark fan.
Wait he made his first video on a ipad?!?!?
@@SonicCommentsoffical In his video "Am I Too Harsh On Media?" he talks about his history as a youtuber and how he got to where he is now. In the video he talks about how he was 13 at the time and mostly filmed videos on his ipad. Most of them are unlisted now, but can still be found on this playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLrao2BNKSh0zb67z5G2gM1QrTMYvMhtgt.html
I remember when he was just a edgy teen making rant videos in his room, crazy to see how how much he's evolved. I feel like I'm watching my kid move out...

As a teen going through the rough and awkward stages of high school, this absolutely resonated with me.
I had a good laugh but also got to feel for the characters (a little too much feeling for comfort lol)

This is a really impressive pilot, the animation is legitimately better than a lot of what airs on TV, I would say though that I noticed many pacing issues that made a lot of the jokes not quite stick the landing for me, which can be fixed in editing, but overall I would say that this genuinely shows promise and potential
