Tripping the Rift

Tripping the Rift is a raunchy 2000 animated comedy television series produced by Dark Bunny Productions. Tripping the Rift is a hilarious comedic send up of Star Trek, Star Wars, and pretty much any other science fiction film or television show that takes itself too seriously Be warned that extensive profanity, extreme violence and brief nudity means that the kids, grandma, and anyone else easily offended or damaged should be kicked out of the room before this gets played. The aptly named Choad is the captain of a band of smugglers. The rest include his reptilian nephew, a sex cyborg, a surly female something or other, and an effeminate gold robot. They roam around between the military-like federation and the empire of the Dark Clowns. Choad is not a favorite of either side and manages to keep running afoul of both. This motley band manages to get into some very strange situations and thus manages to do some decent parodies as well as original humor. The computer animation is excellent and the voice acting is superb. Stephen Root (News Radio, Office Space) and Terry Farrell (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) are among the talented voice actors. This TV series is based on a five-minute-and-48-second-long video that was made just for fun by complete amateurs in their spare time. MORE
