Asdfmovie

""I baked you a pie!"

"Oh boy, what flavor?"

"PIE FLAVOR."


 * guitar riff*"

The asdfmovies are a series of short, rapid-fire, surreal YouTube web cartoons produced by TomSka, partially adapting strips from asdfcomics, his Web Comic. The skits are short, as are the movies overall, and the humour is random, but amusing in its own, strange way. If you can keep up. Or are similarly insane.

The short skits mean that knowing what's in them will spoil the (what can loosely be called) gags very easily, so we recommend you watch the movies before reading the trope list. It won't take long.
