nice
Until he says “No I’m not”
Me:Bugbo, ur lactose intolerant
Bugbo: No
Me: What..
Bugbo: I'm not. (He is)
"You'll have to pay a hefty price of 150 shells!"
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm not doing that."
this joke fully transported me back to my early days of watching youtube comedy animations

Bugbo knows what he wants and sticks to it

You're right, and he actually is
All hail Gerbo. Gerbo supremacy. He should be allowed to collect rocks for no reason if he so wishes to goddamnit.
all hail gradient joe, he will become the next doc scratch.
@@starkid3917 THAT'S WHO HE REMINDED ME OF
He should be permitted to collect rocks with no rhyme, and no reason!
@@starkid3917 Wait a minute, Bugbo is a purple, powerful, forcefully positive, narcissistic psychopath who forces his control on a yellow, somewhat dumb individual he calls "friend", and calls Gradient Joe "the smartest man he knows"; somewhat looking up to him as his idol...
If Doc Scartch is Gradient Joe (he's shown to display power through deals and is able to distort reality) then Bugbo is Kurloz Maraka.

The way that Bugbo just stands completely still on that akward pose is so eerie and yet so funny at the same time.
Bugbo "cutting the bs" and turning into the dry talker is so intimidating but has a very strong essence of funny to it.

2:11 the brief pause after he says “eight” makes it seem that he’s waiting for the subtitles to change since the word “legs” can’t fit into the current subtitle
I never realized that-
I love how impatient and calmy aggressive Bugbo acts when someone doesn't agree with him, its funny yet...threatening.
Song: "Harder To Breathe" by Maroon 5.
*passive aggressive
Idk if this was intentional, but Bugbo's writing is very clever when you realise he's (probably) supposed to be an ant.
Ants are very intelligent, but they also have very structured lives and do _everything_ for the benefit of the colony. That's why he doesn't understand Gerbo collecting rocks for "no reason." And why the moral of both episodes has been about togetherness. (They're also kinda evil when it comes to other insects so yk, perfect fit)
Holy shi- ur right---
Oh shit you're right
Holy feces you're correct
Divine defecation, your assessment rings true.
but ants have 6 legs not 4
I love how Bugbo is the incarnate of toxic mentality
Yeah he is toxic that's because he Killed The Stone merchant with a deal
I love how they didn't get any leg rocks from the stone merchant because they weren't animated underneath him
1 minute 21 seconds in and I can see that the true horror is how bugbo just walks up to his friends and insults them
Literally me tho
3:27
This is the greatest thing ever!
Seriously it’s literally nailed those old school flash animations that we all watched as kids and the fact that it has no scary stuff and only being weird and sometimes disturbing is amazing!
Keep up the god tier work!
Also this needs to be a full series PLEASE
thank you so much! this is pretty much exactly what i was going for. as much as i love horror stuff i'd rather just play with the weird feeling old flash stuff gives me now, plus i doubt i could properly execute a good scare. also, there are plans to continue, so hopefully your wish will be granted : )

@@kefkaexdeath this is incredible to hear I had no idea bugbo was this accurate to the old flash era. THANK YOU‼️
it’s kinda funny how when they say structure, because of the difference in speech between the two voice actors, Gerbo says ‘structure’ and bugbo says ‘strucha’

This looks like something that an elementary school teacher at their near breaking point would put on after giving up on trying to teach their braindead students who won’t listen. Awesome series so far.
Oddly specific but yeah 💀
Why did I write this comment
I’m so utterly obsessed with this series it’s not even funny anymore. I love the silly silly bug and his wacky little friends !!
"we really structured these stones" is literally identical to something me and my friends would say after doing anything and i can already tell I'll love this series
Same if I had friends
i love doing that or saying “this has got to be bad for the economy” when literally anything happens
Bugbo is my new personality, I've already got the autistic monotone and the accidental habit of plaguing my friends with existential confusion
Now I just need several large rocks
Umm same

hehehehahaha 🗣️🔥
4:51 i realized saxum turrim means rock tower
The aspects of surrealism, the weird and disturbing moments, and yet also the absolute cracking humour. It's both nostalgic, weird, and hilarious. I love it.
I can't believe I actually feel affection for a green MS paint spider who just wants to collect some rocks. Gerbo is far too sweet to have to deal with Bugbo and all his..... Bugbo-ness...
This brings me back to the time I was six years old watching videos on newgrounds. I once saw an animation where a cartoon character slit a child's throat. I had nightmares for a while. Anyway, I'm Bugbo's number one fan now.
Stone merchant: you must pay 150 shells!
Bugbo: no.
Stone merchant: excuse me?
Bugbo: *no. Im not doing that.*
I like how Bugbo says yes and no. Getting straight to the point.
Never before have I watched something so genuinely entertaining in a web series context. I'm not even kidding I thoroughly enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

Today is August 11, bugbos birthday! Happy birthday pink bug man
This really captures the rarely-mentioned surreality of the mid aughts animations a lot of us spent hours watching, which absolutely rules. Great stuff, really looking forwards to what any future entries might hold!
Bugbo is a very good interpretation of a manipulative psychopath. If you concentrate on his behaviors you can notice how much he performs his emotions, because it's all an act to get what he wants. You can see him dropping it whenever he's close to the end of his goal, and you can also see how he constantly puts down his friends for their flaws and never helps them overcome it to keep them in that state, but immediately lifts them back up when it benefits himself.
He takes advantages of these flaws by creating situations that become nigh impossible to maneuver around due to their situation, like whenever he makes up a philosophical statement that Gerbo's rock collecting is meaningless and that he should put it to use for himself, when in actuality Gerbo's rock collecting has meaning by itself because it makes Gerbo happy. This is something that Gerbo wouldn't have noticed. Gradient Joe is also exploited by Bugbo because Joe is intelligent and can easily find ways out of situations that would fall heavily on Bugbo, but impaired in his communication. This is a prime target for someone like Bugbo because any abuse that Joe goes through can't be easily communicated.
Bugbo is also very opportunistic, in that he finds any opening for a solution to what he wants and takes it immediately, using his intelligence to ensure victory. Bugbo saw Gerbo's rock collecting and guided it towards building a stone structure, specifically Inepta's, and used Gradient Joe to kill the merchant for his stone body. Once Bugbo had the materials, he put off working on the structure himself and made his friends instead construct it immediately, but made sure he finished it off and handed them the materials to make appear that he did a lot of work by putting focus on himself.
Afterwards, when the stone structure is complete, Inepta rewards all of them with hefty compliments and his gratitude, but Bugbo has no reaction. Bugbo takes this opportunity to frame it as a lesson of togetherness, heavily implying that this entire charade was an exercise by Bugbo to further manipulate his friends and gain their trust.
I love how you made a whole essay about how a pink fictional bug is a murderous manipulative psychopath
@@idkflover3931 But am I wrong?
This makes so much sense now...
I noticed he seems to be a bit manipulative, and even gaslights situations to an extent, but i think it's a bit too early to judge the entirety of his character based on the two episodes we got so far, we might want to wait for more first.
Dude gets what he wants with words and intimidation
This feels like something from the early 2000’s.
The audio, the animation , the watermark.
It’s such a surreal experience.
I love Bugbo's large vocabulary, it really adds to his character.
Bugbo has tumblr sexyman qualities
Honestly I think it's a close tie for sexyman qualifications between him and gradient joe. But honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they both became Tumblr sexymen if the series gets popular enough.

we only need to humanize him and make him a twisted emo psychopath bug killer

WOW AAHHH WTF this is so incredible!!! Perfect level of unsettling. Not too much to be unbelievable. Feel like these kinds of old internet games/animation for kids really does have this quality of uneasiness. Even as a kid, something felt stiff about them. Gonna unofficially label this style "starfall-core".
thank you!! like i said in another reply, i intentionally didnt go overboard with scares because i thought it would take away from the odd style it has already. im glad i went with this approach because it's more fun for me to make and it seems most people watching prefer it this way anyway. thanks again 🐛👍👍
edit: also I think starfall-core is perfect. i had never seen starfall in my life before reading this comment and id like to thank you for showing me that as well, itll probably influence the style more going forward!!
@@bensilly heck yea! We used to go on that website when I was in early grade school in the mid 2000's. They've totally changed up the look now however. But all those games are readily available to look at still which is crazy. Theres this interactive book about a girl and her horse that had a page with a cell phone you could interact with that had secret numbers you could dial. As a kid it always made me feel weird that the school game had secrets in it and I think that feeling is right up the alley of your film. Petscop vibes.
It would probably be better to call it flashcore
Oh my god I remember Starfall! God this gives me so much nostalgia-
