Starship Impossible, or, White Giant

September 23, 2021 5:13 AM

Remember Spamland, the bizarre 2006/2007 animated short trilogy set in a world where the gibberish they used to put in spam emails is real? Recently, its creators, The Brother McLeod, have released a twelve-part animated sci-fi comedy parodying Star Trek and its ilk, Starship Impossible. Total runtime: a little over half an hour. Contains extremely simply drawn nudity.

I had never seen Spamland, and it is completely awesome - thank you!
Also, I had totally forgotten about those emails. Yes, it's amazing what 15 years of neural networks have done for spam filtering, but I'm almost sorry for that lost poetry.

I bet that there are any number of redshirts who, if they were still alive, would have been happy to have gotten away with nothing worse than "I ❤️ BRUNO" on a buttock or whatever they had in roughly the same location.
