1.5 Minute Episodes – Animated Webseries
Sausage School is an animated webseries created by Tom Riffel and Jonathan Hardesty whose sole purpose is to poke fun at the bro-lifestyle by way of some terrible hot dog puns and absurdist humour. Initially an inside joke, the show came to be when a few of Tom’s colleagues formed the YouTube channel Toonocracy and started looking to put together content from a variety of animation disciplines. Naturally, a show about hot dogs sounded like a good fit! Each episode is roughly a minute and a half and doesn’t carry a narrative from episode to episode. There will be ten episodes in the series.

INT. FU, LIVING ROOM – DAY
Danny drops into frame within the living room. SYDNEY and RED HOT stand in the background, watching Danny do his routine.
DANNY
This is our smokin’ pad where all the magic happens, and by magic I mean DA LADIEEEZZZZ. Look at that carpet! LOOK! AT! IT!

DANNY
SAWEEEEEET! That’s some fine carpet! Now check out our mondo sweet sign!
Brief shot of the “Sandwich” sign. The “w” flickers.
DANNY
AW YA BRAHT, YOU READ THAT? Sandwich! Hahaha. You know what I’m talkin’ about!
Danny zips over and gets all into Sydney’s personal space, like a douche.
DANNY
We also have our very own NERD!
SYDNEY
(gets up in Danny’s grille)
Okay, Danny. You know what? Fuckin’ had it with this bullshit. I’m not a FUCKING NERD!
Sydney composes himself.
SYDNEY
Asshole.
DANNY
