''Mike and Melissa'' is a 16-minute animated short created by former college student, Mike Chenoweth. While it was meant to be an entire series, only the rough pilot, "Mike Goes Crazy" exists along with other lost media content.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Mike feels like he has to do this because he wants to feel "something" to help him cope with his loneliness.

The plot of "Mike Goes Crazy" consists of a [[StylisticSuck crudely-drawn]] [[SelfInsertFic fictionalized version of Mike Chenoweth living his everyday life,]] such as his [[SelfDeprecation failed attempts to get women to notice him,]] going to a party with his one-sided metalhead "friends," and [[BreadMilkEggsSquick starting a riot.]]

* CloudCuckoolander: [[ThoseTwoGuys Lenny and Choo Choo.]] Mike also counts as one to an extent.

* AtomicFBomb: Mike ends his ClusterFBomb-laden tantrum at the beginning of the short with this.

* BrawnHilda: Even the female characters, including Melissa, are drawn with rippling muscles like the male characters have.
* CasanovaWannabe: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] very much. Before he met Melissa, Mike tried to talk to a couple of women, but presents himself as either too [[NoSocialSkills insecure]] or [[CloudCuckoolander weird]] to maintain a conversation with them.

* ClusterFBomb: Mike goes on a curse-filled rant after he loses in a game of what is presumed to be VideoGame/MaddenNFL.

* JumpScare: When Mike is waiting at the bus stop, he glances down at his "I am MIKE The Hardcore + Awesome" shirt, it jarringly cuts to a FreezeFrameBonus of a [[ArtShift much more detailed]] picture of a monstrous, hag-like creature holding the aforementioned t-shirt as a guttural scream is heard. The image appears again towards the end of the short, where Mike implies that [[TakeThat it represents his ex-girlfriend.]]

* StockScream: The drummer in Shotgun River yells out the Wilhelm Scream when Ted grabs him and yanks him away from his drum set.

* BigShutUp: Mike's (AmbiguousSituation roommates/neighbors) yell at him to shut up when he's howling in the bathroom, which is exaggerated to the point where their screams become [[LargeHam unintelligible growling.]]

When Mike goes home, he decides to... um... [[ADateWithRosiePalms "pleasure" himself]] out of self-pity, which results in the creation of [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Melissa,]] an anthropomorphic skunk woman [[ImaginaryFriend only he can see and hear.]] She explains that she is a Púca, a "benevolent animal spirit" conjured from Mike's mind to help him cope with his lack of female companionship. This leads to Mike believing that he's insane, to which she denies, saying that he just needs to have someone there for him and love him.
