Line 2:
''Ask a Ninja'' is a [[Web Original]] series that takes a look at the image of the [[Ninja]] in popular culture. It was created by Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine in November 2005. Since then, it has gone on to win several Vloggie awards and released several DVDs and books.
 
The premise borrows from the [[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Strong Bad Emails]], and the creators name it in particular as one of their influences...though there's a distinctly ninja spin on it. There's no shortage of words that have the prefix "ninja-", and the Ninja will sometimes answer questions in a way the question wasn't meant to be answered.
 
You can find ''Ask a Ninja'' [http://askaninja.com/ right here].
Line 33:
* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]: Very much so.
* [[Serious Business]] - The creators reported they make roughly US$100,000 per month.
* [[Shout -Out]]: To the equally funny Dr. [[McNinja]] webcomic, when he recieves a letter saying, "I heard that if I light myself on fire, ninjas can't get me."
** ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|How do you speak so clearly with that mask on?]]''
* [[Signature Style]]: The videos are shot with a series of rapid, abrupt cuts and shifts of angle and position on the Ninja's part. This is explained in one video as being because ninja and other badguys are constantly trying to kill the Ninja while filming, so they have to piece together the videos from interrupted takes.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]
