I was browsing my YouTube subscriptions very early one morning before work, and saw that FilmCow were doing a livestream of all of the existing Ghost House shorts on a loop. I watched it. I loved it. It reminded me how random, occassionally political, always irreverant and flipping hilarious Film Cow content is: from the downright weird (The Bearnicorn) to the very uncomfortable (Chris Brown: American Superhero), here’s my top 5 videos in no particular order – go watch (only if you’re an adult though, lots of interesting language throughout):
1. Charlie the Unicorn
It’s a classic (now with over 29 million views) and the first video I watched from FilmCow. I went from ‘WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?’ to ‘this is actual genius’ in a few views:
2. OMG CRACKLIN’ OAT BRAN
All adverts should be made like this, I’d buy everything. Not strictly animation, but it’s puppets so close enough.
3. Fannie and Earl
I’m a bored housewife in the 1600s or something: screw the Xbox, I’m gonna summon me some ghosts
4. Ghost House(s)
Just RIDICULOUS.
5. Charlie Teh Unicorn Episode 2
Let’s pastische some popular culture via the lovable characters we saw in Charlie the Unicorn.
Also, as a sidenote, if you love FilmCow as much as I do, send them a few pounds/dollars/euros/whatever via Patreon – animations don’t just grow on trees!
