1	'''[[http://www.leagueofbuddies.com/ Stoopid Buddy Stoodios]]''' (formerly known as '''Stoopid Monkey''') is an animation studio. Established by ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' co-creators Creator/SethGreen and Matthew Senreich and animators Eric Towner and John Harvatine IV in 2012, they specialize largely in StopMotion Animation for many different productions, including the aforementioned ''Robot Chicken'', which they took over production of since forming. They have since branched out to include 2D animation, costumes, animatronics and puppetry on some projects.

63	----
64	!! Tropes associated with the company:
65	* ArtShift: Roughly half of the above-listed credits. Particularly in both ''Gravity Falls'' and ''Lego Masters'', the latter being almost OnceAnEpisode.
66	* PuppetShows: ''Blark & Son'', Baby Alien from ''Masked Singer'' is also a puppet from their "Buddy Builds" department.
67	* SignatureStyle: The studio loves animating with OffTheShelfFX, and is frequently hired by clients because of this specialty.
68	* SpiritualSuccessor: Arguably one to [[Film/KillerKlownsFromOuterSpace the Chiodo Brothers]] and [[Creator/ChiodoBrosProductions their studio]] with their Jack-Of-All-Trades nature of Special and Visual Effects services.
69	* StopMotion: Their main forte.
