A to-be-released Creator/{{Netflix}} series based on Joel's shorts, ''Bad Dinosaurs'', [[http://rathergood.com/2022/06/09/our-dinosaurs-are-going-to-live-on-netflix/ was revealed in a 2022 announcement]]. The animation will be produced by Able & Baker (which also did work for ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots''), and directed by Simone Giampaolo.

* PteroSoarer: The Pterodactyl is basically a scaly ''Pteranodon'' with an overly flexible neck like a pipe cleaner and is also rotund and very awkwardly proportioned (and it's one of the ''less'' weird-looking prehistoric creatures in this show). It's also [[RuleOfFunny somehow]] able to carry a large fish, a crocodile, ''and'' an oversized ''Ichthyosaurus'' in flight over a considerable distance.

* StockDinosaurs: ''Apatosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', and ''Allosaurus'' appear in the test animation. The pilot adds "Pterodactyl" (most likely ''Pteranodon''), ''Pachycephalosaurus'', ''Ichthyosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', and ''Stegosaurus''. ''Tyrannosaurus'' makes its debut in the second official episode.

''Dinosaurs: Terrible Lizarde'' is a series of animated videos created by [[http://rathergood.com/ Rathergood]], depicting heavily stylized [[DerangedAnimation (and we mean HEAVILY stylized)]] dinosaurs living out their lives (or, well... [[TooDumbToLive trying to]]) in the style of a faux nature documentary.

* HeadbuttingPachy: The ''Pachycephalosaurus'' are described as using their heads to joust each other. Two of them are depicted charging at each other... and then [[EpicFail passing each other by]], leading to one of them [[OverlyLongGag running headlong across the landscape throughout the rest of the short and finally straight off a cliff]].

* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: The Pachy looks... vaguely phallic.

* GoofyFeatheredDinosaur: The ''Tyrannosaurus'' is the first seen dinosaur with feathers, and it's a very inept predator. Then again, the featherless dinosaurs are equally goofy.

* BalloonBustingBird: Or rather a Pterodactyl in "The Sky's The Limit". The mother ''T. rex'' ends up being [[InflatingBodyGag blown up like a balloon]] by a geyser, and the pterosaur she was trying to catch, perhaps realizing that she has a family to feed, pulls her over the pool she was hunting in earlier. Then she pops her with her beak, dropping her into the pool and sending up some fish for her young to eat, in a similar manner to when she fell into the same pool earlier in the short.

* NoSell: In "Fifty Shades of Graham", the ''Triceratops'' herd charges at the ''Stegosaurus'' gathering after [[LostFoodGrievance one of the Trikes gets its lunch trampled on by accident]]. It doesn't end well for the ''Triceratops'', and the ''Stegosaurus'' herd ''doesn't even flinch.''

Current episodes include the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijktorPAHGs initial test animation]], the [[https://youtu.be/InPHe6xJ8EY pilot episode]], and an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL9V6DMx3ZM additional short]] released in 2020.

* TooDumbToLive: Pretty much all the animals featured.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: From the pilot: "But in the Mesozoic, sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted." Said while a fish grabs onto the Pterodactyl's beak. Then a crocodile grabs the fish, and the Ichthyosaur grabs the crocodile, putting a lot of strain on the Pterodactyl carrying all three of them mid-flight.
* BehindTheBlack: In the test animation, the ''Allosaurus'' isn't even seen approaching the ''Apatosaurus'' - we see the latter's neck being trampled by the ''Triceratops'' herd, and then the ''Allosaurus'' is right there, chewing on the sauropod's tail.

* CameraAbuse: The ''Ankylosaurus'' knocks a rock straight into the camera with its tail club, breaking the screen.
* DumbDinos: Exaggerated to [[RuleOfFunny comedic extremes]]. The dinosaurs are ridiculously incompetent, tending to walk straight off cliffs, obliviously hinder one another, or recklessly blunder into trouble.
* GentleGiantSauropod: ''Apatosaurus'', whose neck is so long and floppy that it lies as limp as a piece of rope.
