Ferret and Parrot

A cartoon short created by Scott Morse.

In his words: Ferret and Parrot revolves around two small, caged animals and their inability to decipher reality from conspiracy theory. Ferret is convinced that the newspaper that lines the bottom of his cage is the morning paper that he gets everyday, but in actuality, it's usually an old tabloid or maybe even a bunch of old bills. Ferret sees these ‘headlines’...maybe about Bigfoot, maybe about UFO sightings, whatever, and jumps to conclusions. He usually involves his good pal Parrot, who lives in the cage above him, and hijinks ensue. The trick is, Parrot only repeats things he's heard, and sometimes just bits of things, making for a true Abbot and Costello sort of experience.

Tropes include:
 * Butt Monkey: Ferret
 * Camp Straight: Ferret has a few ...mannerisms but generally seems to have a crush on Yolanda.
 * Catch Phrase: Ferret's "Ya gutter rat"
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Ferret and Parrot making up near the end.
 * Five-Man Band:
 * The Hero: Ferret
 * The Lancer: Parrot
 * The Big Guy: Buddy (The owner)
 * The Smart Guy: Ferret again
 * The Chick: Yolanda The Aardvark(?)
 * Granola Girl: Ferret could count as a male version. "I eat healthy"
