    Sure, if they come up.

    I'm just a little unsure of what gender you think I am.

    We need some. Maybe love connections between some males and females. Not trying to make this a "love" cartoon, I'm just sayin'

    Where's the setting of this show? Are we going to have a big city? Rural town? Friends apartment?

    It could be about a group cult leaders in NYC.

    Besides we're having very few main characters.

    Not too cliched though, like a guy likes his best female friend, but is afraid too tell her. We could put a twist on it though, a guy's secretly gay and likes his best male friend. Just thinking of ways to avoid cliches.

    I was thinking of something gay, maybe a couple lesbians or something... thought it was too weird or something, but good idea! That wouldn't be cliche, and we need to try to steer clear of cliches, at least some

    The side of a highway - these guys are real losers - great comedy!

    Although they do own a small apartment.

    These could be the only two locations. I'd personally prefer to keep locations to a minimal.

    One idea I always thought could be funny is if there's a love rectangle, where girl A loves boy A who loves girl B who loves boy B who loves girl A. Then there'll be a scene where girl A is rejected by boy A and starts to cry, which in turn makes boy B cry, which makes girl B cry, which makes boy A cry. They each hold their respective crush as they bawl, forming a chain of crying people. Then boy C, walking into the room clueless as to what's going on, breaks down in tears at the sight of everyone sobbing and latches onto the chain as well.

    Heh, getting ahead of myself I guess.

    Okay, should we start to think up characters now? Just a minor thing, I don't think we should give our characters last names as it's rather irrelevant.

    I don't know if it was like this for most episodes, but I've seen one episode of the Honeymooners and the entire thing took place in the apartment kitchen start to finish and it worked well and wasn't too forced. So it could work, but we don't wanna limit ourselves.

    And we need background artists because I really hate drawing backgrounds, with the exception of little sight gags.

    Yea, but he's being mean-spirited for stupid reasons, it's not like he'll run around being like "You stinky gay man I hate you" or anything. He hates the others for the dumbest reasons {ie "Your haircut makes you look like a girl"}

    Yes, how many main people is this focused on? I think we should keep it one to four.

    Oh I like drawing backgrounds, as long as they don't have to be animated, I'll be up for it.

    Or conversely a character everybody hates for no reason.

    Yeah, that's probably enough.

    I thought we decided 2 main ones with another which is kind of the outsider of the group?

    But all these lesbian relationships would work better with 4 characters, with couple swapping and such.

    I'd say three main.

    Edit: Scratch that, two's much better.

    I don't think we should have 4, it's been done- King of the Hill, Hank, Dale, Bill, Boomahuer, Family Guy- Peter, Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland {before he left}, South Park- Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. I think 3 or something

    Certainly a possibility, but it was never nailed in for sure I don't think. Sounds good to me if that's what everyone wants.

    I was going to clear up my sex, but this could be fun for a while so I'll keep it ambiguous till we get to VA auditions.
