[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (5 children) May I ask what kind of stuff you created? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (4 children) My big hit was "The Skeletor Show." It's still on YouTube. But I did many other things on the account before deciding I didn't feel like making comedy videos anymore a few years ago. Occasionally people post asking me to please come back, but I don't know that I ever will. I will say that it did get me some jobs when I needed work, which was the original goal of the show anyway. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (3 children) Oh I remember this! A buddy of mine was making a similar style show during roughly the same period using the classic Star Trek cartoon. Similarly Sealab 2021 influenced. Very nice and thanks for the reminder. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) I actually did that too.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-DYY9mdme4 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago Wish I could share my friends work, but he always kept his videos private. He would occassionally open one up so I could check it out, but he would always make them private again. I should have been using yt-dl to download them all. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 1 point 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://www.piped.video/watch?v=v-DYY9mdme4 Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
