Beached Az

"I'm beached as, bro."

Beached Az began as a 2008 Australian animated short called Beached Whale about a talking whale beached on the New Zealand coast and his encounter with a local seagull. Thanks to a good dose of Memetic Mutation, the series was picked up by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2009 and a further 10 episodes were produced, each showing either his encounter with a new local, an attempt to get back into the ocean or get fed, or some combination of the above. Of course, the attempts at the latter never succeed, since Status Quo Is God.

"So now you know your problem you can deal with your emotion and have a better life when you return to the... sea"
