Intro: After years of playing both Starcraft Brood War and now Starcraft 2, many opportunities for humour have come up and we seek to portray these in a cute and simple manner. New episodes start in April.
tbh, I didn't like the last one. I loved the first 3, but they were funny, because they were true. They were clever. The last one was just "LOL the zergling to a shit on the bunker"

That's actually a really great idea. They remind me of the Disney-Pixar short films that you see in theaters before your movie starts. Would be really neat to have this content run in place of the traditional "waiting for next match screen."
Hope this guy gets more exposure. They're really good!

Agreed, this newest one is a disappointment (when compared to the other 3). I hope it isn't because he's running out of ideas (already??)
EP5 is fantastic! I agree that the zergling bunker one was not the best. In fact, I really disliked it. What makes these so funny is that they are based on feelings and events that have happened to anyone who has played Starcraft. So, I really hope you stick to the philosophy of "Its funny because its true!"
Man, I really hope you get some credit and recognition for these. They truly are great!!
Just found these and they are amazing. It was so hard trying to keep my laughing low in my cube on ep 5 though all of them are great. Love the cute zergs. Looks like roach next week, can't wait.
They are sooo awesome! Myself I think all the episodes are super cool, but have to admit the 4th one was a little bit disappointing indeed compared to the others.
The mouth noises from the infestor are amazingly good. I really liked all of these except the bunker one, but personally I'm just tired of that kind of joke-- just pooped. Art and sound effects are great.
an idea for a future episode, one thing me and my fellow terran dread, the DT "cloud", when a protoss warps in like 6-8 of them and just kills a PF in 2 seconds
It's quality stuff. Maybe if some tournament would show them in downtimes, you would get more people subscribed and watching and they would have something good to show.
I have to say, you're really good with this type of humor. There's no dialogue whatsoever, but you're still able to convey so much purely from the actions and expressions of the units involved. Bravo!
However, I didn't like the way the roaches just glided above ground while burrowed. The line was too sharp. I think you shoulda added some dirt instead of making them just move forward.
But asides from my OCD, this was another great episode!
OH WOW i thought the first four were good, the 5th one is AMAZING the 5th and 7th are my favorites so far. i cant believe how adorable the zerglings are
These are frakin' awesome! As shadowy said, I hope some tournaments pick these up, they would be cool inbetween commercials or before matches (if you have one for each matchup)
These things make my week, absolutely hilarious animations <3 Like a few others said, tournaments should absolutely pick these up to show before matches or something, that'd be awesome to see.
I really liked these. I don't get the people who are saying that you're bad because of walloffs, or # of mining workers. They are completely missing the point. Keep doing what you're doing! I love all the subtleties especially.

They are hit and miss imo
I don't think "hit and miss" is a thing. Did you mean hit or miss? (Not being a tool, genuinely curious)
No "hit and miss" is a thing. Some of them hit. Some of them miss. It's hit and miss.
pretty sure the expression is hit or miss. when you say hit and miss, you're implying that each vid is hit AND miss, rather than some vids are a hit while others are a miss.
Remember this thread is checked often, if you have any ideas for future episodes (try and keep it along with the "it funny because it's true theme of real SC2 events") put them here. Thank you so much for the support.
I like them. I know some people will hate me for saying this, but you should make some LoL ones (even though I dont play it) I'm sure you could get a lot more views and money from youtube.
These cartoons are amazingly funny. I do enjoy all the little things, the little touches. Like the rock throwing in scouting with the factory, to the ghost dressed as a ghost, to the falling stalker blinking (reminded me of translocating in Unreal Tournament).
* Vipers abducting ultralisks to transport through cliff * Swarm Hosts aka Siege Mushrooms from Nydus or overlord drops * Widow Mine + Zergling killing siege tank * healing Hellbats against Firebats * TvT: Widow Mines against Spider Mines * Something about tempests? Like how the giant fleet of Tempests can't fire because one observer is sleeping or doing something crazy instead spotting enemy position
StarCrafts Speed Animation one: Reaper is now live! See how the animation is done. This bit taken from the BWC episode from the weekend. Took roughly 45 mins in real time to do, condensed into 2 minutes.
each episode gets better and better. i thought around like episode 7 or 8 it was just tooo good, that there was NO way it could get any better. i was wrong
episode 13 was MIND NUMBINGLY awesome, and episode 14 was EVEN MORE AWESOME.
it was just crazy.

0.o! - 45 mins to do a reaper part which lasted about 5 seconds - Say we assume each episode is on average about 60 seconds of content. - (60/5)*45 = 540 minutes = 9 hours per episode! (And that's not considering some which might be longer like the WCS one)
The infestor is just.. Brilliant. I really hope this brings you success! :D Essentially all of them with a zergling in it is the best. The way you animate/visualize the units is simply.. genious! XD Keep them coming, loving it! :D
Haha these things are amazing! My friends and I all really love theses vids, even if I'm the only one that really gets the sc2 jokes (they just like the animations). Keep it up man, things like this is what gets you a job in E-SPORTS. :p
If Blizzard decides to put in custom skins for units in the future, I hope they'll make a 'car bot' styled ones. I'd think it would be pretty adorable.
I don't know how I havent seen these already, I have just sat and watched them all and they are brilliant, everyone made me laugh, keep up the good work :D
I thinik those clips dont get enough comments. Only 13 sides is pretty low for such an awesome and funny job. On a german webside we always post the newest links of the videos and laugh about it. Keep going please!
Did anyone else make the connection that the three Phoenixes going into the zerg base this episode may have led to the events of episode 13 off camera? I could be wrong, but I thought it would be clever if it was true!
These are my absolute favorite. It amazes me how even the smallest things that happen in a real game (i.e. a stalker not blinking up a cliff) can be made to be hilarious.
My favorite episode sill has to be #6 tho, the infestor + hellion thing was amazing.
I just recently got to catch up with the episodes, and while I'm a fan of them all, I think StarCrafts Episode 17 NASL 4 Grand Finals is my absolute favorite. That is so frickin clever and cute, and I love all the units rooting for their players :D
Also, I totally laughed my ass off at Episode 18 Marine Training. 1+1=2? Great job, now go fight a colossus lmao. I love how it was tied in to a previous episode too!
The creators are seriously getting better and better. I love these animations.

And how it took 25 seconds for him to learn it, the training time of a marine.

I hadn't noticed that haha... very subtle cleverness :D
Oh my, I loved that Zergling (on further viewing, I think it's a drone) topping the tree, and when the zealot picks up the probe and stares it in the face.
From his interview (the Carbot animations creator), he seems like a really great guy.

Yeah its a drone that the infestor is lifting up with the star the way it's holding the star gives it way lol
i freaking love the mule time one. and the best part is how well it fits to hell march (command and conquer soundtrack) if you play them together... it just gets really epic! :D allow me demonstrate! just play both videos and enjoy <3

that's why I stopped playing zerg man, the hardworking drones, the floating chilling overlords, the cute fast lings, the banelings that loves to roll, the motherly queen, the ultras that just want some hug. I can't get myself to see them getting killed over and over again Especially true in previous videos where the drones get picked up and the queen get angry and got lifted up herself, dying to protect the children.
This might be one of my favourite episodes. Ultra stole the show, but prior to that I was laughing at the boss marauder, standard lings+marines falling over everything, infestor derpage and hydras spitting to shoot.
The happy zerglings just steal the show. Zerglings just wanna have fun! Latest episode had all the favorite situations and that ultralisk ender just rocked.
Worker fights are so adorable. I wonder if this season if following the storyline of one game of Starcraft from start to finish. The title of this episode, and its content certainly implies so.
The reaper didn't get the memo that they no longer can throw grenades at buildings. At least he seemed aware of the combat drugs (band-aid). Also I'm getting the impression that the Protoss player is the most accomplished of the three players in the game.

I burst our in laughter when i watched this episode second time and noticed Terran base and realized that: 1. It's full of detector units 2. There are three orbitals, so every orbital made a scan in the start of the episode 3. So Warp Prism decided not to fly there
Man these are so good. I just found out about StarCrafts last week and watched all of them in a row. I love this series.
I especially like all the easter eggs he puts in each episode. Like the bullet that the ghost shoots out in this last one has writing on it. And there are mutalisks flying in the background showing their role in the next episode. Great stuff.
This last one is what Carbot is all about: Humor and AWESOMENESS. It didnt hurt that my favorite units were featured as well If only we had just one immortal shot for show and the episode would be perfect
I would really like to see muta harass next episode, where the protoss army will running around and the archon gets stuck in the wall because its so big.

Lol I missed another. At :56, the marine's faceplate has something written on it as well.

"9000+", because WHAT'S THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL
And the guy made the animations with Flash. The plugin is dying, but Flash is really cool and easy to do this type of cartoon. Is like back to the origins of Flash.
I can't believe all the work he puts into these. I'm glad he's getting paid for these now (not sure if he was or wasn't before). At least he enjoys animating as well.

I thought the whole time that from these larva 3 ultras would suddenly pop out and shred all :D
I was waiting for that too! :D I have to say the anticlimactic ending was even better though. How much patience does it take to kill larvae?? More than Mr. Zealot has, that is for sure!
holy fuck that voidray was destroying even ROCKS O_OOOOO Everything......the super-exaggerated voidray,i like it:D It was funny how he wasnt able to kill the marine,but killed the whole base in 0.1 secs
haha wow so good XD I had a feeling that the sentries were going to win this somehow lol. Must be a reference to Huk's hallucinated VRs against Idra way back in MLG lol.
This is just awesome!!! Can you make a Terran one too, pretty please?
Probably no, because zerg interface is based on UI from the starcrafts videos (at the end). Carbot already uses his personal Protoss overlay for his streams, and for Terrans I'm not sure that I can carbotize it normally and with good quality.

Is the protoss overlay available anywhere? I would love to use it <3
This is amazing!!! I'm not quite familiar with these overlays...is it possible to use that in the game?
Yes, see the original thread about UI Changer (visible for yourself, and viewers if streaming), also you can use it via streaming programms (visible only for viewers)

Brilliant as always! The BLs throwing the broodlings and dancing. Stalkers blinding on top of hydras then having the tempest fire from galaxy to another rofl. Then today's episode, the start was amazing! So casual until it strikes! :O So many SCV casualties though lol.
PS the oracles voice when the turret was ready and it fired.
those ultralisks getting dropped onto bcs and the arbiters freezing the vessels were great! Queens were annoying, thank you to that zealot lol. Great episode!
Nice moments: • 0:04 snow thingy similar to Reaver at the right side • 0:08 The tree is a Pylon with baneling-toys and supply-depot gits under it. • 0:16 scv tiker with his 50 mineral cost • 0:40 - 0:44 thats how burrowed units look in StarCraft • 0:55 Queens waving their paws like small chikens, because they can't fly like original Queens • 1:15 Zealot's psi-blade is similar to hook, heh • 1:18 zealot positioning is similar to Dragon Ball and Power Rangers • 1:36 Seven zerglings as it sings in the song, popped out from gifts • 1:42 colored eggs: yellow refers to protoss and blue to terran? • 1:46 hydralisks dance like in the game with /dance command • 2:28 zealot fighting wiht ling with hig legs, lol • 2:29 zergling divided to two parts x_x • 2:52 Zealot running away from zerglings. Thats probably recolored SCVs into purple. Look closer to two zerglings that are sticked to zealot. • 3:04 Parasite looks exactly like plunger • 3:44 twelve fingers, twelve Arbiters! • 3:49 Another Protoss tired by Christmass? "Our tree is under attack!" • 3:51 zergling dance similar to their ingame dance • 4:02 new Infestor's toy instead prrr-prrr Hellion
Bob going down into the lava with the Battlecruiser. Looks like he got recalled out at the end. Also I thought I was going to be sad when Patches took the hit from the tempest to save the ship.
haha thanks for this! great as always! Marine vs zealot fight best yet! Also, what's with all these blinky lights? rofl. Archon pushing the marauder was right on XD
Amazing episode. Funny, epic and a bit sad. That queen... saving the drones and getting left behind. And that Infestor was so cruel. Fungals the protoss units and watches from the high ground as the lava catches up to them.

Hi all I cannot find this bane picture. I watch all the Carbotanimations Starcrafts but somehow missed it. Does anybody know which episode it is??[/QUOTE] Here it is
Starcrafts is going biweekly so no episode this week. Warcrafts is also going biweekly but only on the alternate week from Starcrafts. The reason is because + Show Spoiler +
Carbot is working on full on Starcrafts mod for SC2.

Haha, very nice... not only that. Even shows how only Protoss has the weapons to fight off their own cheesy earlygame attacks (while those weapons are only kept in the game because of PvP as well).
So I haven't been paying attention to the community for a while,and when I came back I saw the Carbot portraits and wasn't sure what the deal was. I'm really glad I started watching these though, they're hilarious. :D My favorite is The Nydus Touch; the expression on the Nydus' face when it's freaking out absolutely killed me lol.
What was the last line of the Christmas episode? What did the flying locust say? It's supposed to be a play on Tiny Tim saying "God bless us, everyone!" but I can't understand it.

"Blizzard buff us, every one!" I couldn't understand it either but someone in comments did :p
wow, that episode is hilarious... and so many nice details! Did anyone else notice that the changeling has made his comeback in this episode? He's in the medivac and stabbed a marine when they get chased by the phoenix.

If anything goliaths are worse than dragoons—the reasons people don't complain as much about them is that they don't use them as much.
So it was a lovestory all along and Tassadar and Raynor were just angry that she dated the Overmind. I want a Protoss Kerrigan skin in Heroes right now lol.
I know the joke will be overplayed if used too much, but I really wanna see Goliaths going up and down sidewall staircases from the installation missions. You guys have to remember boxing your Marines and Goliaths only to have one control group take well over a minute to all go up the stairs, often while stopping to fire at wall turrets or some high ground ghost catching them as they wandered. They as well as Dragoons usually needed individual prodding up those damn stairs.
I needed to catch up over the past few months of the missed Carbot animations, and imagine my surprise when it went Brood War style! I love Starcrafts. The "Brood War story in a nutshell" was amazing, and the goliath/ dragoon with poor pathing made me spit out my drink :D Loooooove this.
From a Russian website about gaming: а room in one of the biggest child health clinics in Seoul was painted with characters from Carbot Animation series. Also several laptops were bought for this room, so kids could play the games. All funded by Blizzard. + Show Spoiler +
