Overview (Recap of Animated Sketches)

Poorly Drawn Lines “The Skull”

Reza Farazmand’s Poorly Drawn Lines is an animated program that features three best friends – Ernesto (Tony Revolori), Tanya (D’Arcy Carden) and Kevin (Ron Funches) – navigating early adulthood in a world where the strange and surreal are an everyday thing. This week, Kevin opts to dig a hole to hell after some berating via some local butterflies. As Ernesto opts to deal with the asshole butterflies living on his property, Kevin meets and befriends a possessed skull.

Ernesto hears about Kevin’s new friend and isn’t a fan of being excluded so he purchases a new jacket and threatens to take on the butterflies in a street fight. With Tanya’s help he’s able to take down the leader. When Ernesto gets home he meets Kevin’s new friend who is crashing for the night but is causing all sorts of trouble with all of the other guys. As a result, Kevin is trying to send his skull friend home but the skull doesn’t handle rejection all that well, not to mention the fact that he’s the devil. Fortunately, the skull agrees to leave on his own accord.

Swan runs into an old high-school buddy that works as a personal trainer where he learns a valuable lesson and gets himself a slushy to celebrate.
