StickDeath's Anger Management Quadrilogy (1080p)

StickDeath was an Flash-based animation franchise created by Rob Lewis which, as the name suggested, was centered around the over-the-top, yet humorous, depictions of cartoon violence involving stick figures. The brand was first established in 1996, and was hosted on its own website into the mid-to-late 2000s. It was later resurrected in the following decade, under the name StickDeath Reborn. But the revival was short lived, and the franchise itself has since been dormant after its second website closure. StickDeath managed to accumulate a rather large following as time went on, and there's plenty who still fondly remember as a relic of old internet culture that's relatively harmless. But the franchise also garnered quite a level of notoriety, with common criticism focused on the subpar level of artwork, and choppy animation. Some took a more personal offense to the themes depicted throughout the material however, which was considered to be relentlessly hostile, tasteless in commentary, discriminating and racist in tone. The bad press did little to hamper StickDeath's reputation as a more rebellious form of expression however. This video in particular covers StickDeath's Anger Management-related animations. While not connected in any way, like how the Anti-Auto Theft series was, there was enough of these standalone entries around to be grouped together. The first two of them, referred to as "Ping Pong" or "Graduate" aren't decent enough to be uploaded by themselves due to their poor craftsmanship. The following two shorts, namely "Institute of Anger Management" and "Anger Management - S.O.T.E. Style," are much better by comparison and are probably the ones you're looking for in particular. Some of these already exist on YouTube, but this might be the first time they've been recorded in full screen and later processed in high definition. "S.O.T.E Style" has copyrighted music by Scum of the Earth, and normally I would consider replacing it to avoid any possibly flaggings or regional blocks. But it turns out that there's history between the band, and Rob Lewis communication wise! Whenever it was a collaborative or promotional effort to get the word out of the band out via StickDeath, or Lewis was just a fan who wanted to pay tribute, I felt obligated to leave that part of the video unaltered. Plus there is some syncing going on, and I didn't want to mess with tinkering with that for any revisions. If you have issues with the playback of this video as a result, lemme know and I can do a separate upload of "S.O.T.E. Style" that would have copyright music free. But otherwise, I hope you enjoy. • Anger Management - Ping Pong: 0:07 • Graduate - Juggling: 0:41 • Institute of Anger Management: 2:17 • S.O.T.E.
