Incongruitastic, a Surreal Mystery/Comedy/Fantasy/Thriller
Published by Bart on October 8th, 2007 in Art
So you never figured out the plot of Elephants Dream eh? Well, maybe you should think twice about watching Incongruitastic - a project by Jacob Kafka [WeirdHat]. It's easily the strangest but also most hilarious series of Blender animations I've ever seen.
Jacob writes:
Okay, so, I decided I want to make an animated webseries. But I couldn't decide what it should be about, so what I've done for the first episode is just take every single old unused or underused idea of mine, plus anything else I could think of, stick them all together, and animate it all as fast as I can (which turned out to be three weeks) to prove that the project is feasible and I could come out with another episode reasonably soon. It's basically a big brainstormy mishmash of niftiness, and here it is.
Roughly speaking, Incongruitasticis a surreal mystery/comedy/fantasy/thriller CG animated webseries about four security guards who protect an array of dangerous and unpredictable lightswitches from nefarious folks who would try to harness their power.
So far, WeirdHat has published five episodes and the plot is starting to show. Go check them out!

Now that's looney! Don't know why but reminds me "Un Chien andalou" directed by Dali and Bunuel… I really like the scene with a man with a turtle on his head - crazy thing! But I suggest focusing on the script a little bit more - the viewer is simply shiftless in understanding what is goin' on on the screen…
Still - congratulations! I'm lookin' forward to seeing next episodes!
Hey! I thought that there's only one episode but there's much more (sorry!). And it all makes sense now! Ingenious and technically correct! Once again - congratulations!!!
He's a genius !
From the first one I watched it look pretty awesome!.
Just finished the last one and I'm SOoo anticipating the next ones.
Really a genius!! Great ties!
lol funny xD
the music is very nice, but after four times, it's getting kinda boring…
your animating skills are amazing!
hmm.. this is art, animated art! :)
Loved the main characters and whole situations. Lighting has improved from chapter zero a lot. Character animation is uneven, sometimes is OK sometimes is bad, but I can see you're getting better and better in each episode. Keep it up !
very coool ! , I like a lot this kind of funny things !
congratulations !
The maker of these sure does like light bulbs, don't they? Cool animations to watch though. I enjoyed them :)
er, I meant to say "light switches" …
I really like this, great style, interesting plot. Looking forward to more.
It's just candy for my eyes! I want moooore! :)
Very good animation, sound-syncing. I also like lighting. 9 from me!

Hi!
Very nice and funny animations. Congratulations !
I love it. The more I watched the more I was drawn in. Excellent work. I look forward to seeing more.
Incongruitastic RULES!
That Kafka kid really lives up to the name.
This series is a work of genius! Everything's so crazy and funny, and the animation is very fluid and expressive. The only thing I would criticize so far is that the metal hand guy should've fallen faster when dropped into the hole.
I can't wait for the next one; my brothers and I just watched them through for the fourth time.
Nurse… Please put me on the same medication as that man please…
Excellent webseries! At least it befuddled me, but after the 4th episode, i finally got the plot! It's really awesome, and the rewatch value is 10/10!!!!
Awesome! Glad to see this posted here! I love these things! Please keep making 'em!
