Lemon grenades. Holy shit.

These guys are bound to end up in Hollywood. Who's up for an Axe Cop live action directed and produced by these guys?

I don't know, if it was a show the suits would probably hinder the creativity that Axe Cop has.

I mean, I'm 32 fucking years old and I'm laughing like a school girl at this shit because it's just so random.

Yeah, show or no show, I'm more than satisfied with the comics. This stuff is golden.

"I will never be in love because I work all day and all night as an Axe cop. Night is the easiest time to kill bad guys because they are asleep, so I have no time for love."

The kid has the right idea already, and he is only five. Truly ahead of his years.

The music is so....authentic sounding, kind of like the intro songs for cartoons and tv shows we grew up watching 20+ years ago. Outstanding video.

Lies! Blood grants power in the Axe Cop universe. See Sockerang/Bad Santa for confirmation. And as for Avocado Soldier - the fruit is to blame. Axe Cop and Dinosaur Soldier both gained power from fruit, as did Telescope Gun Cop and Uni-Baby.

For FUCK's sake, pay attention to the story. This is how religious wars start.

This is extremely awesome, but at the same time reminds me a lot of the 'ow my balls' show in Idiocracy. People get entertained by more and more stupid shit until eventually we're all legitimate morons.

I love how he doesn't just wish for aliens to die. He wishes for them to turn evil first, and then die. Can't kill them while they're good aliens!

ow my balls is stupid, repetitive shit

This is something incredibly creative and earnest coming from a 5 year old. The difference is GAF is far more patient because it's in comic form. Little kids come up with fantastic stuff all the time, all you gotta do is give them a listen.

I know what you mean though - I often start wondering about the logic behind the plot; not so much in terms of the Axe Cop universe, but in terms of Malachai's thought processes. When I read the bits about front kicks and jabs, I wondered if he watches UFC, and if so, how much of it he digests. When he came up with that section about the childless parents who adopt Uni-Baby, it makes me think about his moral philosophy and sense of justification and causation. Parents have 1000 kids, but they all die, so of course they'd want to adopt anything that's going. Match made in heaven. But a new baby isn't the same as their old babies...so we'll bring all the dead ones back PLUS 2000 000 000 more for good measure, because more is always better! But I guess that's kind of too many to sensibly live on earth...etc. It's like watching someone try to balance both sides of a set of scales using only the heaviest weights they can find.

Really is awesome on so many levels.

Agreed - surreal tales from the mouths of children are far more mentally engaging than nut shots in America's Funniest Home Videos. The key to Axe Cop's greatness is the fact that these disparate ramblings have been distilled into a coherent story with a sense of continuity. Ethan's art and the pruning and direction he brings to the table are just as crucial to the creative expression as Malachai's random acts of epic genius.

I would have thought that the little flute theme that played in the video when they introduced "Flute Cop" would have been enough to get anyone : /

My favorite is seeing Flute Cop fighting the dinosaurs by...playing the flute :lol

Good thing he transform to Dinosaur Solider...then to Avocado man...then back to Dinosaur.

He loves the idea that people go for try-outs for the cops. Wonder where he got that from? If I had to try and predict an event in a future episode, then try-outs would be about the only guess I think I'd feel safe with :lol

Dude, these stories actually kick ass in a totally non-ironic way. I could seriously see this shit on Adult Swim or something.

Also, yeah, in general, I think kids' natural creativity makes them pretty great storytellers. I remember back in the day my friends and I used to dictate stories to my dad, they still hold up okay today. Nothing like this though, the stuff this kid is producing is a cut above even when you factor in the 29-year-old's interpretation.

You probably shouldn't hotlink to their site, I don't know. Doesn't seem like a good idea.

Unfortunately this is the biggest continuity error in the story. He didn't have the axe in the beginning!

You're right, although the origin story complicates things even more of course...
