Agoro the Phobic Monster Online
This is a show for the internet. It's an absurd reflection of the way you live when your not online - without being pre-occupied with social media. If we have to get all academic about it the show is a satirical examination of 'cocooning culture' and 'the mutilation of social gooditude' - i.e. Shut-Ins and the wonderful world of spending too much time inside. Conceptually the show is 'muppets in the modern age', we don't mean 'brightly coloured, singing things in a modern setting', what we're talking about is the answer to the question: 'what if the concept was invented today by independent filmmakers?' The series itself draws from the aesthetic of 'The Muppets', the format of 'Strongbad Emails' and the premise of 'ALF' while borrowing from the comedic tone of 'Regular Show', 'The Simpsons' and 'South Park' - among several dozen other inspirational movies, TV shows and comics that no-one in our core target demographic has heard of, or remembers... which will make you think our ideas ...

The entire show was conceived, written, filmed and edited in one room by the series creator (along with family and friends)
The show is full of Easter Eggs - literally. During production mini chocolate Easter Eggs were hidden in dozens of shots. On a surface level this was intended as a blunt reference to viewers 'hunting for Easter Eggs' in popular films, but it's also foreshadowing an important revelation in future episodes.
While editing the series some of the bloopers generated a bigger, derisive laugh from viewers because of their crapiness - this lead to several outtakes being intentionally left in the final cut in favor of the alternate, and much better, performances.
