A joint production by Creator/KrisStraub (of ''Webcomic/{{Starslip}}'' and ''Webcomic/{{Chainsawsuit}}'') and Scott Kurtz (of ''Webcomic/PvP''), now appearing on ''Webcomic/PennyArcade TV,'' ''Blamimation'' is a monthly series of comedic [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] shorts. Each episode generally consists of a couple of brief [[SketchComedy sketches]] bookended by a FramingDevice about Straub and Kurtz's adventures. Recurring sketches include:

* ''The Airhornsman,'' about a man who uses an air horn instead of talking;
* ''Fin & Feather,'' depicting an OddFriendship between a renaissance-era fish and a modern-day bird;
* ''FUCK Hospital'', an ultrasexy MedicalDrama;
* ''Get Sharpe,'' a DetectiveDrama set in a town full of morons;
* ''Monster Nash,'' a thriller in the same vein as ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'';
* ''Night Driver,'' a parody of ''Series/KnightRider'';
* ''Franchise/{{Saw}} Babies'', which reimagines Jigsaw as a vengeful elementary school student;
* ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}} Cop,'' a CopShow about a grizzled Z-block who refuses to play by the book

!!''Blamimation'' contains examples of:

* AccidentalTruth: Discussed in the commentary.
-->'''Scott:''' We're sorry that our ''ridiculous premise'' of people throwing away cats is what people actually do.
* ArtShift: Each sketch is drawn in either Kurtz's comic-booky style or Straub's signature [[TheNoseless noseless]] style. Each creator is also drawn in his own style, even when both appear together.
* BiggerOnTheInside: Kris' butthole, as discovered by MC Frontalot's uncle.
* BlandNameProduct:
** Kurtz and Straub are pulled into a digital world that they assume is Franchise/{{Tron}}, but are quickly corrected in that TRON is "bullshit" and the real deal is called "FRON." Instead of Light Cycles, they have Glow Bikes, "but you have to pedal them."
** Straub offers to celebrate with Capri Moon and Fruit by the Length.
** The second Alliday episode features B1 sauce, which apparently goes well with human flesh.
* BodyHorror: Nash's transformations are pretty grotesque.
* CowboyCop: [=McTetris=] ends up with a lot of {{Dead Partner}}s, and DaChief is getting too old for this shit.
* CreditsGag: The season 1 finale ends with a credit reel, complete with "corrections" from the series so far. ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' business guru Robert Khoo is listed under "Special Thanks", followed immediately by "Thanks Redacted".
* DisproportionateRetribution: The entire concept behind Saw Babies. Subverted in that it usually backfires.
* GiftOfTheMagiPlot: Parodied in one Blam, where the air conditioner cuts out during a heatwave. Kris buys Scott some freon for the air conditioner, which Scott has sold in order to buy Kris a snow cone. Alas, Kris is unable to enjoy the snow cone because he traded his head for the freon.
* HilariousOuttakes: ''During'' the sketches. Sometimes they'll redo flubbed lines, mock each other for mistakes, or scribble out animation errors.
* IdiotBall: Held by everyone apart from the Sharpe brothers in ''Get Sharpe.''
* ImAHumanitarian: Kris and Scott discover that, during the Alliday festivities, they killed and consumed someone.
* InspectorJavert: The Major in ''Monster Nash'' is a General Ross {{Expy}} who is sure Nash is hiding secrets.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: ''Monster Nash'' is presented as a thriller about a man who needs to avoid looking at or hearing any mention of things associated with stock movie monsters (bandages, bats, blood, the moon, pyramids, etc.) or else he'll turn into ''all monsters, simultaneously''.
* LimitedAnimation: There's very little animation besides characters snapping into new poses like they're in a storyboard or animatic.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:
-->"Thank God we got out of ''there'' in one piece!"
-->"Ha ha, Scott, speak for yourself! Check out what's going on down there! (camera pans to reveal that Straub has a basketball-sized hole where his crotch should be) Whoa-ho-ho augh ugh." (dies)
-->"Heh heh heh oooooh! Eh, guess my friend's dead. Heh heh."
* MotorMouth: The so-called "Blam Cadence" used by both Blamimators in their interstitial bits is as follows: [=A SERIES of PHRASES, PUNCTuated at RANdom=], [[superscript:aSCENDing in pitch]] and then suddenlydippingbackdownthehillconstantlygainingspeeduntilyouretalkingfasterthanyoucanthink. It's basically engineered to guarantee slip-ups. Mike Krahulik made a huge effort to match the style in his guest appearance, whereas Jerry Holkins deliberately broke it.
* RightfulKingReturns: Parodied in ''Deep King'' where the heir to Atlantis is an average Joe who nonchalantly leaves in the middle of a crisis situation because his air tank is running low.
* TakeThat: The Airhornsman is patterned after cartoonist Ted Rall.
* TheSpeechless: The Airhornsman is a champion debater despite "speaking" with an air horn.
* UnreadablyFastText: Some of the gags can't be seen unless you pause the animation.
* UnusualEuphemism: A frat boy uses the term "pee-poops" to describe going to the bathroom, which everyone around him finds bizarre. Especially since he has no problem cursing out the guy who bumped into him at the urinal.
