Title card.
Status: Partially Found
The God and Devil Show is an American adult animated web series created by Aubrey Ankrum,[1] who would later go on to co-create Happy Tree Friends.[2] The show was produced and developed by Mondo Media, and it aired from 1999 to 2001. Many of the people who worked on this show would later go on to produce Happy Tree Friends. The show has 65 episodes[3] in total. While 48 episodes have been found and 55 titles are known, the other episodes are seemingly lost.
Plot
The God & Devil Show parodies many talk shows that feature celebrity interviews. The show features God (voiced by Jay Riddlesberger) as an old man with many flaws and misunderstandings of the modern world and the Devil (voiced by Sally Dana) as a promiscuous woman who enjoys the misfortune of the other characters. All the episodes feature an interview with a celebrity voiced by an impersonator that would parody the celebrity's works or personal life. At the end of every episode, the viewer can choose if they want to send the celebrity to Heaven or Hell by clicking buttons reading "Heaven" or "Hell". Each celebrity's Heaven or Hell would be humorously tailor-made to that specific celebrity.[4]
Availability
The episodes of the show were available on Mondo Mini Shows' website from 1999 to 2001 along with other shows produced by Mondo Media. After MondoMedia stopped producing episodes of the God and Devil Show, it was removed from Mondo Mini Shows' website, and it was no longer available to watch. Unlike some of Mondo Media's other series, the full series has not been released on home media.
The episodes wouldn't be uploaded to YouTube until March 3, 2007, when the official MondoMedia YouTube channel uploaded the episode "Britney Spears". They also uploaded 8 more episodes and the YouTube channel lordhelmchen20 uploaded the episode "Marilyn Manson" on May 16, 2009.
As of 2024, the MondoMedia YouTube channel has not uploaded all of the other episodes. However, a French Dailymotion channel named "Brent" has uploaded 31 of the 65 episodes. User "gerrit1951" uploaded various low-quality episodes to Mobile24.
