Teleshits is the spinoff of Bertstrips, except with stills that aren't from Sesame Street.
The associated subreddit is viewable here.
Tropes in this work:
- Actor Allusion: In "Jack Rabbit offers tips for Franklin on how to look dope", Jack Rabbit tells Franklin that his Pretty Fly for a White Guy outfit makes him look like Fern, and then he adds that he "never understood why her voice was similar to that Chinese Siamese Cat I once ordered Chinese Powder from." Fern and Sagwa are voiced by the same actress, Holly Gauthier-Frankel.
- The Alcoholic: Stu Pickles has been transformed from a crazy Bungling Inventor of children's toys into Stu "Pickled Liver" Pickles, who constantly encounters bizarre problems which are the result of his alcoholism.
- Adaptational Jerkass:
- Hamtaro has turned from being a helpful Ham-Ham into a crazed hamster who'll fuck anything that moves. Penelope, instead of being the Tagalong Kid, is a freak of nature who was exposed to Chernobyl's radiation by her blanket, and Boss is just lazy.
- Noddy becomes a pimp who kills Mr. Plod's pets for no apparent reason.
- Optimus Prime is a Jerkass who tortures and kills people he's annoyed by instead of protecting lives wherever the Autobots find any. He also has a pedophilic side, as portrayed in this comic.
- Bumblebee is also portrayed as a pedophile as with this comic.
- Silverbolt Eats Babies according to this strip.
- Thomas & Friends: Henry is suicidal, Sir Topham Hatt's a plantation owner who puts weird chemicals in the coal such as a chemical that makes the engines fly and turn the population of Sodor gay or psychedelic drugs, Thomas is either lazy or a Jerkass, and Edward's a murderer.
- Pepper Ann is a drug lord with severe attitude issues.
- The Get Along Gang are depicted as The Mafia.
- Matthias is frequently depicted as a bumbling Jerkass.
- Barney the Dinosaur is depicted as a counterpart to Bertstrips!Big Bird, and is likewise a slave owner with backwards attitudes to race and sex.
- Butt-Monkey:
- Caillou is depicted usually as a comically suffering cancer child instead of a Bratty Half-Pint-turned imagination lover. The show being pulled from PBS Kids was commemorated with a strip where it's revealed that The Get-Along Gang was apparently behind his show's hatedom and his abuse in the Teleshits posts over the years.
- The titular character of Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is depicted as the object of Joseph Primm's affections.
- Dull Surprise: In one comic, Optimus Prime is sentenced to death for murdering members of The Get Along Gang for not giving Roller back to him after an activity they did. Prime isn't surprised given his tendency for Disney Deaths.
- For the Evulz: Everyone's apparent motivations.
- One comic has Alex Blackwell of Monster Jam hijacking the local TV station in order to threaten every child in town into giving FELD Entertainment money, or else he will run their grandmothers' cars over with Captain's Curse. He is seemingly doing this just for kicks.
- Jerkass: Like with Bertstrips, almost everybody.
