Shorts Review: @FoxADHD teaches us “How To Eat An Orange (During The Zombie Apocalypse)”

As Bubbleblabber.com’s resident zombie expert/only person on staff who eats healthy, I feel as if I am more than qualified to tackle this short clip given to us from the collective ball of awesome that is FoxADHD. Let’s get the formalities out of the way really quick on this one:

  • Artwork- Impressive as always. Even for a clip that is just under a minute, the amount of detail that goes into the show is top notch.
  • Sounds- The incessant groans of zombies fills your ears and is quite unsettling. I personally don’t know if I could eat an orange under these conditions.
  • Voice Acting- For such a short clip, there sure is a ton of voice acting. The zombies, The narrator, The guy who becomes a zombie and the hero all have speaking roles. The guy who becomes a zombie nails the part perfectly! His regaling of past adventures with his friend as he looks death in the face is incredibly well written and even better when actually heard. Even in that serious moment, the subtlety of humor shines through. Great use of emotions.

What I really liked about this clip is that it made me realize how ridiculous The Walking Dead really is. I am probably one of the biggest fans of that show, but I sometime feel they are reaching for ideas to fill an hour every week. I can totally see Kirkman saying in the writers meeting “Let’s have Daryl eat an orange while a walker is chained to a wall.” So if little ol’ me can see the writing on that wall, just imagine what they’re actually going to write now that main cast and fan favorite characters are dying left and right.

Anywho, time for a score. I liked this one almost as much as I like my morning cup of coffee. Almost.
