Author Topic: Looking for a sort-of educational animated series  (Read 535 times)  Share 

Hey guys,

I'm looking for an animated series (probably on YouTube) that humorously and intelligently explains every day stuff like, if I remember correctly, mathematics, computers and more. By the time I watched the series, probably a year ago or more, there were about 6-7 episodes of around 8-9 minutes each. The author/director promised there'd be more, but since then I forgot what they were called and what they were about. I just remember thinking they were hilarious and that I wanted to see more! :-)

So the reason I'm asking here is because something, somewhere in my twisted mind tells me that the guy who made this series MAY have had *some* kind of connection to the AGS community. I'm not totally sure about this, but it's worth a try!

Hope you can help me.

Thomas.

The only thing that comes to mind is Look Around You (here is the Maths episode) but that has nothing to do with AGS. Any good?

If the most you can say about them is that they were educational and funny then you need a miracle to find them.

Depending on your definition of 'educational' it could be Potter Puppet Pals?

For the brits, the Horrible Histories BBC series is very funny, and written by proper grown up comedy writers and everything:

There was an American cartoon of Horrible Histories which was also very good.
