My friends and I used to produce these animated videos. It was basically a stop motion version of Family Guy, not stop motion because we find it an intriguing artform (which we do) but stop motion because I literally can't draw for shit. Not everybody can be as good as Josh, y'know lol. But anyway, there's one scene in particular that I feel bad for voicing/animating/taking any part in whatsoever. It was a depiction of Screech from Saved By The Bell killing himself by slitting his own throat in one of the countless cutaway gags we did. That's not funny at all, there's nothing the least bit humorous about teenagers committing suicide and I feel terrible for making light of such a tragic situation. The videos were all about pushing the envelope with basically every sensitive topic possible but I feel like depicting an innocent character from a kid's show killing himself for no reason other than simplistic shock value is quite possibly one of the most sickening jokes you can make. Plus it may give people the impression that I absolutely hate Screech and want him to die but I assure you that is not the case whatsoever. I was just an edgy teenager who would make anything into a joke. Despite every other scene we animated being purposely tasteless, that particular joke hit an all time low even by our standards in my opinion and I wish I never said such an insensitive thing, :(.
