Enjoy (Or Recoil From) The Animated Tales Of GWAR!

by | Nov 18, 2013 | MUSIC

As metal bands go, GWAR‘s always been a bit cartoonish (is that the understatement of the year or what?). However, they’ve never existed in animated form–until now! Funny Or Die presents a brand new GWARtoon from animators Myke Chillian and Tommy Meehan.

As metal bands go, GWAR‘s always been a bit cartoonish (is that the understatement of the year or what?). However, they’ve never existed in animated form–until now! Funny Or Die presents a brand new GWARtoon from animators Myke Chillian and Tommy Meehan. Chillian describes the plot of the debut episode as follows: “Lead singer Oderus Urungus loses his murderous-mojo prompting the rest of the band to embark on an Antarctic quest for the cure.” Meanwhile, GWAR’s Oderus Urungus “hates cartoons… But I just might have to back up a little and say that this is the greatest cartoon ever, even if I still hate it, just because it’s about US.” The 9-minute episode features a bonus appearance from Weird Al Yankovic, and you can enjoy it below:

GWAR returns to RVA for a special Christmas show, featuring Battlecross and Iron Reagan, at the National on Sunday, December 29. Tickets are $20 in advance, and can be ordered HERE.
