Storytime: Boys' Night Out Anonymous 09/03/2023 (Sun) 22:32:52 No. 36395
It feels like the only new threads we get here anymore are obituaries, so I'll do a small storytime to break the mold. Back in the early 2010s, Max Landis teamed up with some no-name artist to make Boys' Night Out, an unlicensed short story about Mickey "Mike" Mouse enjoying an evening with his friends while quietly dealing with a midlife crisis in the background. Though crass in its presentation, there is a tenderness at the heart that will resonate with folks who are dealing with navigating the next stage of adulthood after seemingly getting their life in order. As the comic features adult topics, Disney's lawyers were very quick in trying to get the comic erased. How successful they were is debatable. You'll find hardly a mention of it online outside of some years-old Blogspot posts that no one's gonna stumble upon unless they're already actively looking for the comic. But the entire comic is still available on the artist's website. But you have to register an account to get at it, as if you were borrowing some forbidden book from a library. Which is bullshit, so let me just put the whole thing here for all to read.
>>36404 And that's that. Hope somebody enjoyed it.
Thanks, that was a nice little read.
Bojack stole this, made it edgier and dragged it out for 6 seasons. Thanks OP, that was nice.
>>36395 You ever notice Max Landis can't make anything original? It's all just existing properties.

>>36411 To be fair, you need to leech on popular stuff to go somewhere.
>>36405 I feel like the entire comic was leading up to this punchline and it slayed me with that alone. Very competently made and very realistic to the horror stories about SouCal actors, but I like the optimism in it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. >>36410 >Bojack stole this, made it edgier and dragged it out for 6 seasons. Pretty much this, with the added part of characters suddenly acting out of character for no particular reason and using fantasy names instead of making them sound at least somewhat believable.
>>36412 Yeah and how did that work out for Max Landis? He went nowhere in the industry. His only claim to fame is being the son of an incompetent director who got 3 people, including 2 children, horrifically killed on set.

>>36405 The fuck WAS all that shit? It's like someone got high as fuck and said to himself "Hey, what if...*giggle*...what if we remade Scott Pilgrim only with Disney aminals. Aminals. ANINALS! Fuck, you know what I mean. Mickey an' shit."

>>36440 This isn't hipsters though, these are L.A rich cunts, which is arguably worse. Bad people regardless. But yeah, this could have been done with an original IP, this is was just for shock purposes I guess.

>>36425 Now that you put it that way, he's basically daddy's son. >The tragedy caused while shooting The Twilight Zone John Landis also made sure Belushi decay into his drug problems even harder during the shooting of the Blues Brothers movie. >>36450 They all fall into this punk culture whose humor is sterile enough to be the new trend in tumblr.
>>36440 How is "Mickey Mouse goes on a bender and reflects on life" the same as "Hipster gets obsessed with terrible woman?" >>36450 Maybe it's because I grew up watching Adult Swim and stuff like Ren and Stimpy and internet cartoons but it really doesn't feel like it has any shock value, it's just sort of mundane. If this came out in the 70s like Air Pirates maybe it's work better but the fact this if from the 2010s is more shocking than its content. It's contemporary with Bojack Horseman, which is probably why it's so obscure (besides Disney doing what they do best with litigation).

>>36464 >How is "Mickey Mouse goes on a bender and reflects on life" the same as "Hipster gets obsessed with terrible woman?" Put it like that, it isn't, but there's something about the pacing and the comments and the angst that reminds me of the movie.
>>36480 >Put it like that, it isn't, but there's something about the pacing and the comments and the angst that reminds me of the movie. It's nuveau writing style that became popular with indies in the late 2000s because it sounded more natural than expo-bubbles. Which can work, but I'd rather the Sam and Max type of parody of that kind of thing than just people going uhuh, yeah, hm, nah. I don't even think Brian Lee O'Manlet was the first to do this, but he seriously popularized it.
>>36464 It came out before Bojack, Bojack had nothing to do with it's obscurity. It's just the same concept but repeated ad nauseum 300 times and with a much worse protag.
>>36400 > Like, man. I wish she was cheating on me. I know how to have that conversation, you know? But this? I don't know what this is. These are not good feels, bros.

>>36510 It's a fucking joke anon, learn to read, learn to subtext. He thought she was lying and cheating on him due to telling him she spent 5 hours "working out", he naturally finds that extremely odd, thinks she's lying and follows her around like an insecure little midget. Turns out she's actually working out for 5 hours and looks like a crazy bitch while doing so, and that makes him so confused and scared he says he would rather go with his initial expectation. Fucking Christ anon, it had a whole setup and everything.
i'm always happy to read this again. thank you anon. i wish i had a brotherhood bond like these 3.
>>36480 Hipster soap operas have gotten so fucking predictable.
