Web Animation: Waterman

A Web Animation series by Bryan Waterman about Cloudcuckoolander slacker Waterman, his friend Pal, pseudo Robot Buddy Roy-Bot, love interest Ice Cream Girl and The Chew Toy Mr. Dillo.

Having a humor style similar to Family Guy, Waterman has had nine episodes produced, along with a short series of Fractured Fairy Tales called Puppets in the Park and a movie which only recently escaped Development Hell starring the voice of Leslie Nielsen.

Tropes include:

Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The episode that was nothing but a repetitive random music video with the band Reel Big Fish. The creator got a LOT of flack for making this instead of a real episode.
Cloudcuckoolander: Waterman and Roy-Bot
Crossover: The characters from Waterman appeared in one episode of Bonus Stage.
The Danza: Waterman
Drives Like Crazy: Roy-Bot
Everybody Laughs Ending: Episode XIII, including Reel Big Fish and the Donkster of the Deep.
Fake Band: 16 Buttons of Justice
Five-Token Band: In the pingpong tournament episode. Lampshaded when Waterman asks where the member with the power of heart is.
Inverse Ninja Law
Manatee Gag
Real Song Theme Tune
Robot Buddy: A fake one in the form of Roy-Bot; however, the cast is later joined by Robotic Chuck Norris
Shout Out: In spades.
Schedule Slip: In the beginning a new episode may have been released every few months, but these days you can only pray you'll see an update on the site sometime in between graduations.
