Carl!
There is a dead human in our house!
- Wait, how'd he get here? - What?
Caaaarl! What did you do?
Me? (stammering) I didn't do this.
Why did you kill this person, Carl?
- I do not kill people. - Are they just llamas?
That is my least favorite thing to do.
Tell me, Carl, exactly what you were doing
- before I got home. - All right---
Is that a husband and wife?
- I was sitting in my room. - Yes.
- Well, this guy walked in-- - (Paul) Okay.
- So I went up to him-- - Yes.
And I, uh, I stabbed him 37 times in the chest.
(chuckling)
Caaaaaarl!
- That kills people! - God!
How could you not know that?
- Yeah, I'm in the wrong here. - I love the voices.
- What happened to his hands? - What's that?
- His hands! - (gasps)
Why are they missing?
Well, I, uh, kind of cooked them up
- and at them. - EWW!
Caaaarl!
Well, I-I was hungry. Give me a break.
- Caaaarl! - What a cartoon.
- My stomach was making the rumblies. - Carl!
That only hands would satisfy.
What is wrong with you, Carl?!
Well, I-I kill people and I eat hands.
That's-That's two things.
(chuckles) Yeah, that's two things.
I don't want to know the rest of what's wrong with you.
- Caaaarl, we're supposed to be on vacation! - Oh, the same guys.
I don't know about you, but I am having a wonderful time here.
You toppled a South American government, Carl.
Oh god.
The people have spoken. Vive la résistance!
Now we're getting political.
...into a giant fan.
He was a traitor and a scoundrel.
- (whump!) - Whoa, that was a foot.
I appear to have swallowed an entire person.
- Oh my. - I can't go anywhere with you, Carl!
- (laughing) - That hurt my feelings.
I wanna go home. We're leaving.
In that case, I should probably mention
that I filled our luggage with orphan meat.
Wha-- what?!
- Oh my god! - Well, we're building a meat dragon
and not just any meat will do.
What a reflection on what's going on in the world today.
This has become the norm for you, Carl.
Well, I'll have to try harder next time.
- (scoffing) - Please don't.
Too late now... you!
- You? - I totally don't remember your name.
Oh my goodness, they can't even remember each other's names.
- My name is Paul. - What?
- I thought it was a woman. - My name is Paul.
Oh. I thought you were a woman.
- Why would you think that? - Mostly the hat.
I thought so too.
(laughing) You can't tell any other way.
Caaaaarl, you've tracked mud all over the carpet!
Now that right there is a mess.
- I just had it cleaned yesterday. - Bad!
I'm not responsible for this.
- They lead directly to you! - (chuckling)
Clue number one: the impostor is a phantom.
Caaaaarl, stop avoid--
- (loud boom) - Ooh.
(cracking up)
- Carl! - Caaaaaarl!
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday. (laughs)
Please tell me you had nothing to do with this.
What, that?
It's hard to hear you over the sound of melting city.
How did you even do this?
Think of all the perfectly roasted faces we get to munch on now.
- (squeamish) Ooh! - Why?
(Carl) Because we're friends.
- That's sick! - Well, then you're probably not
gonna like your birthday decorations.
- (chuckling) - It's not even my--
Oh my god.
- Surprise! - OH!
Why would you think any of this was a good idea?
Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath
- with a long history of violence. - Yeah, there you go.
I don't understand how you keep forgetting that.
Pretty bizarre stuff.
Yikes!
Uh-oh.
- Well, aren't ya gonna say it? - Say what, Carl?
That! My name, all offended and annoyed.
- I'm leaving, Carl. - What?
- I'm moving out. - Good.
It's the meat conveyor, isn't it?
Never before has this many dead bodies been so manageable.
- (Paul) Carl! - I'm the Henry Ford of human meat.
All you do is kill people, Carl!
That's like saying all Mozart did was write songs.
- (laughing) - You are completely insane!
Oh, weird.
That's what all these orphans said.
Oh, oh gross!
(groans in disgust)
Is that the surprise?
- Oh. - (Carl) No.
- That looks like a meat dragon. - (cackling)
Did you finish your meat dragon, Carl?
- (laughing) - Maybe.
It's horrifying, Carl.
Thank you.
Wow. Is that what cartoons have come to?
Oh, that was great.
I'm never gonna look at a llama the same way.
(movie reel clicks)
(Finebros) Okay, so right way, yes or no, did you like the show?
No.
No, not particularly.
I hate to admit it, but it was kind of funny.
I did not like the show.
Eeh, no.
I haven't figured out why the llama would get the taste for human meat.
Love it!
I find it very funny.
But if it weren't for the straight guy, it wouldn't be so damn funny.
No.
- (Finebros) But you were laughing! - I think the laughing
was more uncomfortable laughing.
(Finebros) How would you describe these particular llamas?
Overweight.
One's very ethical, it seems, and the other one is totally immoral.
I'd describe them as people with contemporary thoughts.
Paul's wearing a lady's hat with a flower in it,
so of course we think they're a couple.
Paul has definitely got some identity issues.
Carl knows who he is, you know,
and he's a vicious sociopathic killer.
(Finebros) Can you please give us an imitation of how the other llama
would say Carl's name when Carl did something horrible?
Caaarl!
(nasally) Caaarl!
(prolonged) Caaaarl.
(whining) Caaaaarl!
Caaarl! Carl, what're you doing?
What are you doing? Carl!
(Finebros) The show utilizes pretty dark subject matter for humor.
Do you find dark humor funny?
Sometimes I do.
Not particularly.
I love dark humor.
But it's one thing to enjoy dark humor
with nothing to see and hear about orphans
and revolutions and meat dragons.
(Finebros) You could say that this show is the very classic comedy duo
scenario that has worked for generations,
where there's the crazy person and then the straight man.
Over the years, who are some comedic duos
that you really have enjoyed?
Jackie Gleason and Art Carney.
Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin.
Allen and Rossi.
Lucy and Ricardo.
Abbot and Costello.
Rowan and Martin.
George Burns and Gracie Allen.
Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
Leland Hardy, going back to the silent films.
But they weren't dealing with these themes.
(Finebros) Is this the type of show you'd imagine
- a lot of people watching? - No.
No.
It's too dark for the normal mind.
I like it, then the rest of the world will like it.
(Finebros) Well, this is a very popular online show.
Oh.
(Finebros) Some of the episodes have over 10 million views.
10 million?
(Finebros) Why do you think people love this show so much?
I think there's definitely something about animation that draws people.
I don't know why it's so popular.
It's just more of that whole culture that I don't get.
What people probably like about it is that it's short.
Maybe because society's becoming a darker place.
I think we all have a sense of the macabre.
When there's an accident on the freeway,
why does all the traffic stop and sloooowly go by
as everyone looks to see.
Is there any blood there?
It works because it's talking about some very serious
contemporary problems done in a comedic way
that keeps your attention.
(Finebros) What do you think the title of this show should be?
A Couple Dumb Llamas.
Bad Llamas!
The Macabre Brothers.
Fun and Games with Sado-Masochism.
(Finebros) They simply call it Llamas with Hats.
Oh, okay, that's good.
I like that!
Doesn't quite say it all, but at least it peaks your interest.
(heavy sigh) Boy, that's too bad.
If your seven-year-old came and said,
"Hey, mom, I'm watchin' Llamas with Hats."
She'd go, "Oh, that's nice, honey."
But it's really very dark.
(Finebros) So, finally, what would you want to say to the creators
of Llamas with Hats about their series and success?
Congratulations.
I'm glad that you've been successful.
I'm sorry that you're so dark.
You must be very intelligent and witty
and I would like to see you direct your efforts
to more uplifting material.
I congratulate anyone on success
because success in our country, or in the world these days,
is difficult to achieve.
Thumbs up with your series and your success.
You're right on target in my opinion.
I love it.
