Baby Cakes: Accidental Poetry From Comedy
SuperDeluxe.com, in case you have not yet seen it, is a pretty great new-ish comedy web-site, full of animated and live-action skits along the awkward, ironic lines of Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
The best series is "I Am Baby Cakes" by comic artist Brad Neely.
Presented below: the best of that series: Diary #3. In it, an ogre-looking man-child named Mark, or, Baby Cakes, who is "not ashamed to get excited" reflects on his walk in the park.
It's supposed to be comedy. But it comes across as spoken-word poetry aided by pictures, about a naive narrator looking for meaning in all the oddest places. He is not wise, but some of the sentences he produces are accidentally illuminating. You feel pity for his stupidity and his willingness to believe in things that only exist in role playing games, and a faint jealousy that you wish you could believe in a tenth as much wonderfulness as he sees every day in the world around him.
They are very funny, but the humor conflicts with how sad the main character is. Most viewers probably just focus on the humor of what he says instead of him as a character, which is all well and good. They would probably say that I am taking this too seriously. Perhaps.
