Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today we’re exploring something a little outside our usual fare, as we munch through the first season of the Bigtop Burger animated series. From what I understand, this series is a frantic, irreverent comedy created by Ian Worthington, produced in Blender and featuring the voices of a variety of Youtube talents. The series follows the adventures of the titular burger truck and its clown-painted employees, though I imagine not much actual burger-vending will take place.
The series appears to fall into the same post-Invader Zim space as Vivziepop’s productions, with an emphasis on frenetic action and verbal sparring. I’ll admit, I was too old for this particular wave of online media; I was watching Invader Zim when it first came out, while my formative online video consumption was decidedly pre-Youtube, centered more on the stick figures and Salad Fingers of the old Newgrounds era. Nonetheless, I’m always curious to check out more of the internet’s diverse artistic microcultures, and imagine there’ll be much to poke at in this season’s blistering eleven minute runtime. Let’s get to it!
