Angry Kid - The Official Site

Angry Kid is a British 1-minute short live action and stop motion adult animated comedy television series created, directed, written, and designed by Darren Walsh (who also provides the voice of the title character) and produced by Aardman Animations for Series 1 and 2 and by Mr Morris Productions for Series 3.

Unlike most Aardman productions, Angry Kid was not created using clay animation but a combination of pixilation (using masks for facial expressions) and stop motion puppetry.[1] Series 3 onwards uses CGI for Angry Kid's head, along with live action.

Series 1 and 2 have been released on DVD in the UK and Australia. All the Angry Kid animations from before the third series were on Atom.com before the site was absorbed into Comedy Central. A compilation DVD called Aardman's Dark Side was also released, and it contains several Series 2 episodes and an exclusive episode. The vast majority of Angry Kid has since been released on YouTube.

Series 3 was launched in July 2015 after an 8-year hiatus. The first episode 'Interview' aired on the 3rd of July. Series 3 is produced by Mr Morris Productions with episodes being aired on Angry Kid's official YouTube page with a new episode being uploaded every 3 weeks.

Angry Kid

Episodes

Series 1

Angry Kid is sitting in the back of his dad's car, holding a chocolate bar and a can of Coke, with chocolate smeared around his mouth. To annoy his dad, he keeps pretending he's going to "jub up" (be sick), which makes Dad furious. By the time Angry Kid was sticking his fingers down his throat, Dad abruptly stops the car in traffic, causing Angry Kid to actually vomit. Left with no alternative, he swallows it.

Angry Kid and his younger sister, Lil' Sis, are watching an educational TV program. A bored Angry Kid sticks his tongue out and does the V signs at Lil' Sis. When he gets her attention by pushing her and blowing a raspberry, she retaliates by sticking her two fingers up his nose. After sneezing on her fingers, which makes her cry, Angry Kid tries to quiet her by hugging and shushing her, unaware that she's rubbing the snot onto his face.

Angry Kid is playing football as the goalie, which he finds rather boring. He doesn't pay attention to the ball, and as a result, is hit in the face by the ball, making him dizzy. He is then hit by the ball a second time, knocking him out.

Angry Kid is sitting in the back of Dad's car, asking if they're there yet (to which Dad says, "Nope.", and "No." after his son ask again) and then "How many miles till we get there?" (but he's interrupted by Dad commanding him, "Be quiet!"). Angry Kid then starts playing with his boxing puppet (which looks exactly like him). But while playing with the puppet, Angry Kid accidentally makes it punch him in the nose, causing a nose bleed. Angry Kid wipes it off his face and keeps telling his dad that it's "blood juice" in an attempt to get his attention. He then blows his nose, making the blood go all over his face. Upon finally seeing this, Dad gets frustrated, stops the car, and tells Angry Kid to get out of the car. During the credits, he is heard telling Angry Kid to lean back and pinch his nose to make the bleeding stop, but it gets all over Angry Kid's shirt, which makes Dad more furious.

Angry Kid is riding his bike down a street when a white van approaches up behind him and the driver honks his horn at Angry Kid, startling him. The van continually tries to overtake Angry Kid, but he keeps changing lanes, swerving across the road and putting his arm out so the van can't pass him, which further angers the driver, who honks his horn and yells at Angry Kid to get out of the road. He continues this until the van runs out of diesel, but Angry Kid then realizes he is lost and cannot find his way home. In a post end credits scene, it shows a tired Angry Kid, who eventually falls off his bike and onto the ground in exhaustion.

Angry Kid is at school standing in front of a brick wall. He then sniffs his finger which makes him feel sick. He keeps sniffing it and making vomit noises. A "Director's Cut" Version of this episode includes a suspenseful soundtrack which heightens every time he sniffs his finger.

Angry Kid is in his father's car going through a dark tunnel. Each time a light shines at Angry Kid, he makes different expressions. He then gets out of his father's car without using the door and winds up on the back-screen. He then clings onto the front of a lorry, before turning up in his father's car again, asking "Are we there yet?".

Angry Kid is trying to sneeze but he can't, so he sticks a cotton bud up his nose. It causes him to sneeze, but the cotton bud gets stuck. As he tries to remove it, he sneezes again, causing his entire thumb to go up his nose.

An ill Angry Kid is in the front lounge watching a sex education show about reproduction. A few minutes later, his sister comes in. Eventually, Lil' Sis begins to cry and Angry Kid nearly vomits at the birthing scene, so he switches to another programme about liposuction. This finally causes him to vomit.

Angry Kid is riding his bike down a street. He succeeds in riding with one hand, but when he attempts to ride with no hands, he falls off his bike. He gets up only to notice a large bone sticking out of his elbow. Then a nearby dog grabs Angry Kid's bone. Angry Kid fights with the dog and eventually fends the dog off by biting off its ear. Angry Kid claims he "feels a bit jubby", then faints and collapses.

Angry Kid is sitting in the back of Dad's car, bored with listening to Dad's country music tape. Angry Kid asks if he can put on his tape, "Captain Thunderpants". There are only two lines in this song, which are "one pound of middle cut pork leg joint" and "stew my foot and call me Brenda", which Angry Kid likes to accompany with a car-horn and two air-horns. Eventually, Dad stops the car and throws the now-destroyed tape back to Angry Kid in frustration. As he tries to restart the car, the sounds of the engine begin to mimic the beat of Captain Thunderpants' song, which Angry Kid honks to in delight.

Angry Kid is sitting in the back of the car, and begins to ask Dad what swear words he can say. After 't*ts' and 'bugger' are rejected, Dad reluctantly complies to 'bum'. After saying 'bum' over and over (which annoys Dad, who tells him to stop), Angry Kid mutters other made-up swear words before Dad hits him with a newspaper. Angry Kid says 'bugger', 'sh*t', and 'f**k', with Dad continuing to hit him, until he almost hits him again when Angry Kid says 'cabbage'. Dad then mutters, "Sh*t." and Angry Kid, upon hearing him, tells him he said 'sh*t', before Dad angrily hits him with the newspaper again. Angry Kid sniffles, and tears start rolling down his cheeks.

It is Christmas time, and Angry Kid is attempting to make a national speech to the Queen. However, he continually makes jokes and messes around until the director of the speech gives up on him. Lil' Sis is hanging from the Christmas tree.

Angry Kid is meant to be brushing his teeth, but instead, he brushes up on his imitations and pretends to be different characters, including a pimp and a robber. When he brushes too fast, the toothbrush becomes stuck in his mouth, to which he mimics Marlon Brando by saying, "They don't show me no respect!" Realising he is stuck, he quietly murmurs, "Mum?".

Angry Kid's standing outside a chip shop eating a 50p portion chips from a newspaper. He tries tossing the chips into his mouth but misses every time, which attracts the attention of a neighborhood dog. Angry Kid then begins to tease the dog using the chips. Angry kid sticks his tongue out at the dog, which the dog promptly jumps up and bites, dragging Angry Kid to the ground.

Angry Kid is now Captain Buggernuts, the Masked Bum Cake Avenger, and his mission is to save the world from the evil Dr. Assrot and his evil accomplices on his "trusty hydro chopper". But when he gets attacked by a dog (who obviously works for Dr. Assrot), he is saved by Lady Angelfarts (Lil Sis), who then saws off Angry Kid's hair (which appeared to be hiding two bones, are later attacked by two other dogs in a post-credits scene).

Angry Kid is sucking on a bottle in an attempt to give himself a love-bite, in a bid to fool others into believing he has a girlfriend. After giving himself two love-bites, and becoming agitated with his audience not believing him, he angrily charges at the camera.

Angry Kid is in the bathroom, where he finds his mother's vibrator. He sellotapes his toothbrush to it and, using a pair of false teeth, pretends to be an old lady. Eventually, he sticks a toothbrush onto the vibrator, and brushes his teeth. After placing the toothbrush on the highest setting, the vibrations cause him to buzz around the room.

Angry Kid, Lil' Sis, and Dad are in the car and Angry Kid asks why Ambulance is written backwards on a passing ambulance. Dad then explains, only for Angry Kid to start writing obscene backwards messages to his father. Incredibly irritated, Dad starts repeatedly hitting Angry Kid every time he shows a new sign, with Lil Sis encouraging him with more signs as well.

Angry Kid is doing a prank phone call to a Directory Inquiries service. After enraging the Scottish worker on the other end of the line with the switch-name 'Big Dog's Dick', the highly agitated and depressed worker on the other line, results committing suicide by firearm. A startled Angry Kid repeatedly stutters "Goodbye, bye now, b-bye" over the dial-tone, before placing the phone back on the receiver. He is left looking at the phone, scared at what he has done.

Angry Kid is peeing when Lil Sis walks into the bathroom. He tells her not to look but she doesn't listen, so he ends up peeing on her, causing her to cry.

Angry Kid and Lil' Sis are being chased by the police on a bike. After evading the police car by driving down a side-street, Angry Kid hacks into the police radio and begins to taunt the two chasing officers. However, neither officer realizes that he has actually sneaked into the back of their car with a walkie-talkie. After the officers begin to fight for the radio, Angry Kid sneaks out of the car and back onto his bike, while Lil' Sis rides away with Angry Kid mimicking a police siren and shouting "Woo woo woo woo woo! Bollocks!".

Angry Kid is sneezing at the mirror, making loud noises. When his mother tries getting into the locked bathroom, he sneezes so loud and harshly that his eyeballs pop out and stick to the mirror.

Angry Kid and his Lil Sis are watching a horror movie, and Angry Kid tries to scare his little sister with a pair of ghoulish gloves. When that plan fails, he tries poking her with a spider on a stick. However, she remains unfazed. When he then tries scaring with a ghost mask, she is possessed by a demon who exclaims: "Shut the fuck up! I'm trying to watch the telly!", she takes the ghost mask, shoves it in Angry Kid's mouth, then reverts to normal.

Angry Kid is in the back of his dad's car, asking him "Are we there yet?" which Dad yells "No!". He then loudly blows his nose with a tissue, saying he's got "snot blocks". Annoyed, his father warns him to stop being naughty or he'll take him to the children's home. Angry Kid tells his dad that he doesn't care about him and love him, and after Dad silence him, he begins using the tissue as a whip and hit him with it, making him scream in pain. An enraged Dad eventually gives up and says that he's taking his son to the home. Terrified upon hearing this, Angry Kid begs him not to, and when Dad doesn't reassure him (as to give him another chance to behave nicely), he gags himself with the tissue and writes on a piece of paper 'Help! Kidnap!'. Dad is promptly pulled over by a passing police car, who obviously believes Angry Kid's help sign. However, after the post end credits of the episode, Angry Kid ends up at the children's home anyway, and as Dad drives away laughing evilly, he yells "bollocks!". Season Finale.

Series 2

Angry Kid is sitting in the back of Dad's car and he asks him, "What's a wanker?", because his friends told him what it was like at school. But Dad can't put it in terms Angry Kid would understand, so he just tells him that it's a type of behavior and tells him to not talk about it, to which Angry Kid agrees.
