Another brilliant and hilarious animated series concept written by Bob Camp and Joe Orrantia.
This would make for a great web series or a branded show on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network or Comedy Central.

teenage girl whose perfect
life is driving her insane.

Frank and Sunny are the proud
parents of the perfect Blythe Manners.
She hates her parents for under-
standing her, and thinks, “If you really
loved me you get a divorce!” She begs
her mom to become alcoholic or her
dad to have an affair to make her life
seem more pitiful. She even wishes
she was more intelligent so she could
be complex. Frank is a world-
renowned explorer, biologist, botanist,
archeologist, ping-pong champion and
photographer for rational Geographic
magazine. He is true-blue, fearless
and well, perfect. Sunny is everything
Martha Stewart aspires to be. She
makes Betty Crocker look like a
Denny’s fry-cook. She’s a best-selling
suspense novelist; the worlds champ
at Pictionary, an internationally famous
performer of interpretative dance and
a pretty fair modern jazz lute player.
She does everything with flair, taste,
grace, and class.
Carlton Tarlton owns all of the most
valuable things in East Larb. He has
perfect female breasts, which are
revealed deep into season one that
he straps down before going to the
office.Carlton is a clean freak and an
obsessive-compulsive. He is having
an affair with Asia Wienbaum, his
wife’s best friend . His wife, Charlene
is the ice queen, a spoiled rich society
bitch with no life of her own that feeds
on the sordid lives of her fellow
Larbians like a vampire. Carlton
bought her a swanky little boutique
called ‘Feminine Wiles’ that caters to
divorcees and women preparing to
commit adultery. This is the gossip
hub of the female community.
4. 3
The Slyde-Welle family lives in their
ancestral manse, Slyde-Welle Hall. The
hall sits on a promontory over-looking the
sea of garbage, which laps up on the
shores of East Larb. Old Man Slyde-
Welle is so bitter, he can put a cucumber
in his pocket and in one hour, viola! It’s a
pickle! Slyde-Welle is probably the most
feared and hated man in town. Almost all
of his bodily systems have failed him save
his bile ducts and diarrhea gland.
Bannister is a spoiled, no-good, cowardly,
snobby, rich, playboy, liar, who is always
trying to find the best way to screw you
over. He is the heir-apparent to the
Slyde-Welle throne and the owner of a
seedy local nightclub called the ‘Pink
Needle’. Sienna is the young attractive,
shrew daughter of the old man. When
she and her brother aren’t trying to best
each other or plotting their father’s murder,
they plan the ruin of the rest of the town.
Druthers is the butler for the Slyde-Welles.
He does the old man’s dirty work, which
includes getting rid of dead bodies. He
also gets rid of bodies for the whole town
on a free-lance basis.
Caleb is in 2nd Grade and is 17 years
old. He is the mean one and Ezekial is
the cruel one. Ezekial’s 14. He’s also
in the second grade. They are the
Thomas Edison and Louis Pasture of
mayhem, torture and vandalism.
Their favorite movies are ‘Night of the
Hunter’, ‘Taxi Driver’, and The Deer
Hunter’. The only person they fear is
their stepfather, Father Liebenvonhast.
Their real fathers (as yet unknown to
them) are Old Man Slyde-Welle and
Carlton Tarlton. Minnie is mother to
the Hoover boys who were both born
out of wedlock. Minnie is enormous.
In fact, she was voted Lard Queen at
the county Fat Stock Show ten years
running. Larb men love her.
