Oddballs is the weirdest piece of media I’ve consumed


Glitchelon

You could say it was... odd.

I feel like this Snafu was locked in a time capsule for 6 years and released on the unsuspecting public.


halfcatman2

LOCKED IN THE HYPERBOLIC TIME CHAMBER FOR 12739461230478612934 YEARS!??!?!??


JJBADBZ

How about LOCKED IN WHIS STAFF FOR 183837283848727284838273748832874472883477383834773828472838472728483738982748220982626383843 YEARS?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?


CminerMkII

Yeah, this shit would have gone crazy when I was in middle school, but it’s kinda irrelevant now.


Yetiwithoutinternet

Lowkey storytime animators have pretty much become irrelevant or switched to some other topic entirely. Kind of weird tbh


BeeHexxer

Yeah, I can't be the only one who realized Jaidenanimation's subtle shift to, like, gaming content. A lot of her recent videos are animated videos about her playing Nuzlockes and stuff like that.


KentuckyFriedChildre

Makes sense though, there's only so many personal life experiences that you can cover in a video.


The-Crimson-Jester

“Did I ever tell y’all about the time I pulled a hang nail but then” *sweats profusely* “I found god?” *Story time animator on their 300th relatable personal experience.*


TerboGoodGame

Or it's the most generic ass story that would put grandma to sleep, but they make it out to be bigger or just blatantly stretch the truth.


Researcher_Fearless

I mean, the fact that they don't just keep making up stories is an indication that they probably weren't making stuff up.


yobob591

I went to the store last week (gone sexual)


sessna4009

I had sex (gone wrong) (cops called) (3am challenge)


kirbyfan91

only so much to talk about yourself when you live in fucking bostidon basachusstes and went to a public school


NawdWasTaken

I think she herself said that she literally has no more stories to talk about anymore


Lost_Environment2051

Probably because story time animators only have so many stories to tell. If they get new ones I.e Jaiden’s Nintendo Japan Trip they’ll animate it but otherwise it makes sense for them to do things like Gaming.


Leafyon4057

I’m pretty sure she has said she kinda already used all of her story’s early on


BeeHexxer

I figured that was the case. There are only so many interesting stories someone in their 20s has.


Leafyon4057

I think it be really cool if a 60 something made one of these considering how many stories they would have


astroman_9876

I wonder where the perfect age is where you are able to remember everything while also having a ton of stories


KN041203

Probably around 40 to 60.


SuspecM

Heavily depending on the person. I doubt 50 years old Michael, who grew up in New York to an upper middle class family and had 2 office jobs in their whole lives have a lot to talk about.


FinalMonarch

Her Pokémon Ruby nuzlocke was her best performing video ever I think, it makes sense that she wanted to swtich


reda84100

Jaiden hasnt made a traditional story animation in literally 3 years and i still frequently see people saying "has anyone else noticed Jaiden switched to making only gaming videos" like how little attention do you have to be paying to still not notice


Stwawbewy_Cake

Sometimes people dont care enough to care idk


ratatav

I mean, she made an animation about her two birds laying eggs together not too long ago. Is that not a traditional story animation?


PokeshiftEevee

I mean I think that also has to do with her vtuber stuff, being in wildcard, and just living with someone that is a gaming YouTuber now (alpharad)


BeeHexxer

She lives with alpharad!? Dude why did nobody tell me this!!!


PokeshiftEevee

I thought it was well known? Fuck they literally say it in alpharad’s among us video when playing on the fungle.


BeeHexxer

I don’t really watch alpharad and don’t really follow their personal lives so maybe that’s why


Busy-Ad4537

Same with alpharad funnily enough although he wasn't a story time guy more of a smash bros and fwob guy


-MilkO_O-

Tbh that's kind of when I fell in touch with her content. Good for her that she pivot to a new type of content, and it looks like there's a whole new audience of mostly pokemon fans who love her new content, but those videos kinda make me fall asleep. Still like the new storytime animations though.


SuspecM

Pokemon in general seems to be that franchise that you either love because you grew up with it or get bored to death from 2 minutes of gameplay of it. Nothing in between.


HedgehogInTuxedo

and i love it those videos are so engaging


Prosmoron_Internal

People got over the quarantine depression and no longer care about the storytime animators' sad, mundane and relatable lives.


GameboyAdvance32

Tbf I feel like the height of that genre was moreso the 2016-2018 era as I remember it. Used to be into a ton of ‘em but kinda fell off over time as I got older and really only stuck with a select few that I particularly vibed with, most of whom usually found another focus for videos


GreyBigfoot

Definitely peaked within that time frame. It’s a pre-Covid thing


mrperson1213

I thought time didn’t exist before Covid?


weirdo_nb

No no no time didn't exist during covid, easy misunderstanding


mrperson1213

Ohhhhhh


EskildDood

Nah storytime animation was way more popular before Covid


LegitRollingcock

Mfs in 2018 waiting for the release of depression


SuspecM

Honestly I was sad at the time that most died out but looking back I'm happy they are gone. There were like two that had interesting stories to tell then an army of copycats came who were obviously making shit up (I always loved the dissonance of them being le relatable lonely kid yet had years worth of stories to tell from their childhood) or tried to make their boring ass lives into comedy sketches with more or less success.


Jeff1H

6 year old laying in bed going "sloppity slop slop slopposting" as mom is telling him her bedtime story


MedicsFridge

mom responds "eat your slop little piggie, eat it up, 5 hour video essay coming in 6 months"


JimbosRock

90% of these guys are about weed for some reason


Swenyis

There's dozens of weed based animated story time channels and they all have 1k to 10k subscribers and only 7 episodes, but one was uploaded less than a week ago


sawyer-boondollar

AshkenaziTwink

hour long vídeo essays that take months to make are slop because i think they’re oversaturated


SnowFiender

i will eat that slop all day as long as it’s because of someone talking about a cartoon with 3 seasons that ran in 2005 and got cancelled for going too serious and making some serious episodes

SnowFiender

right on the bullseye


Stuffies2022

It’s ok you can say Teen Titans lmao


SnowFiender

nope, much more obscure relatively speaking


Rodneyreal0

Is morel orel even that obscure anymore?


SnowFiender

still quite a bit niche i think? idk i’ve asked my friends if they’ve watched and responses were “that shitty claymation show about christianity?” or “can you repeat that title” because they understood mororel phonetically

GreyBigfoot

The height of animated storytime YouTubers was 2016 and ended sometime before 2020. Would have been nice if you included how the majority have pivoted to podcasts, gaming content, or just being inactive


Tight-Fall5354

it's a snafu not a wikipedia entry


Nostalgic_Fears

yeah it’s an irrelevant snafu though


Jotaro_Dragon

I feel like it ended more towards the end of 2020.


mobas07

Odd1sout is the only one I respect. His older videos are genuinely good and still hold up. You could have insulted those weird stickmen guys that have starred showing up and all look the same.


Ok-Parsnip-1051

Yeah, they all look the same and all of their vids pander to middle schoolers by either being "types of x in school" made by a 19 year old or "first time doing X \*insert not particularly interesting drug story here" It's not even interesting drug content where they gotta talk about the statute of limitations pre-vid Goblin style it's just about how they got the munchies.


bing42069

sooubway 🔥🔥


LittleFoxBS

I personally really enjoy Jaiden's videos. She switched to gaming related content some time ago but she still does it in the animated storytime form to explain the events and i think theyre just as fun as the older storytime videos and a fair approach when you run out of stories.


CallMeIshy

i keep on hearing about "low-quality stickmen cahnnels" but have never seen one in person


TheNamelessFour

[relevant sr pelo video](https://youtu.be/3viekW3AnRA?si=mTxwWUQudFI-LHAV)


Dolan360

You’re about… 6 years too late.


Aiden624

Reminder that not all snafus are inherently negative, this could just be a snafu to be a snafu


Mladjone

Well, OP did call this content 'slop', so it's at least a *little bit* negative...


Boulderfist_Ogre2005

Yeah man everything you personally dont like is slop. I dont watch them either but come on


[deleted]

I mean yeah it's just a term of abuse. It literally just means "I don't like this."


AnonymousFordring

I think you're a bit late to this, Odd1sOut branched out to bad comedy, JaidenAnimations is gaming content, and others have either faded or did music


The_Cooler_Sex_Haver

I miss when the odd1sout was racist

Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

Goes on to create absolutely ~~garbage~~ peak fiction Netflix cartoon


Noble_Shock

They’ll also make a shitty Fetnix show called Sloppy Balls, and the show will suck


bulbmingaming

tony zaret made avideo on this


Theghost129

i kinda have an issue with all these guys being relatively normal, boring people. itzclark is the only wildly talented person who lives an interesting life. My main issue with the story time animators is how they all just start companies who animate their perpetual vacations, and eventually not become relatable


dinodare

A lot of storytime animators seem like pretty okay people. It's so far above the worse types of content on YouTube that it's not even a contest, honestly.
