Static X

 (Alternate and working title The Forest Friends) is a show by Manta-bee. Originally created in 2007, the writer decided to shed light on it yet again.

Orgins
While the creator was into animated comedy shows and was fascinated with the Sonic the Hedgehog characters, she had thought up an idea that would combine the two, only with the characters resembling those characters. There are similarities between the characters of the show and the characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, as well as differences; for example, the male characters are fully clothed.

Thinking of the names for the characters proved not to be very difficult, as she started with names that were almost similar sounding to the ones they were based off of, then thought of more names that sounded different in comparison.

The idea was shelved for a few years, then resurfaced in 2009, when more episodes were written.

Plot
Adventures of slackers Static and Dale and friends.

Style
Although the characters are parodies, the creator stuck with personality archetypes. The show's humor can also involve pop-culture refferences to breaking the fourth wall. Another quality that The Forest Friends had was its initial use of “retroscripting”, a process in which an episode’s scripts are purposely left vague, and instead of exact dialogue, the plot of a particular scene is merely outlined—the rest of the dialogue is then created through improv by the actors. Although retroscripting was only used officially in the first season, the dialogue in the following three seasons remained heavily improvised, with the written script serving mainly as a guide or something to fall back on for jokes if needed.
