What is Very Bad Koalas? In a word, unique. This zany tale, the bizarre brainchild of Nicholas Brendon and Steve Loter, is kinda like Invader Zim if it was about two koalas and had the plot of Lost if Lost was in the Twilight Zone and was written for Adult Swim instead of Nickelodeon.

Okay, so it's nothing like Invader Zim, but it is unique. VBK has its own brand of off-color humor that Nicholas and Steve aren't afraid to commit to. As a result, you never know where it's going, but wherever it ends up, the creators aren't afraid to go there in the process.

To use their own words:
"The koalas, Avery and Irving, are as far from criminals as they could possibly be. Wrongly accused, they break out of prison together and form an unlikely, co-dependent friendship. Their bizarre adventures will take them to exotic and scary places along the highway in the “out there.” Unintentionally misguided by a hipster shaman gorilla, our heroes will encounter Amazon women elephants, Fleshies (furry animals who wear human costumes), a religious cult of highway-flattened animals, vampire turtles and a large variety of bizarre characters, each more twisted than the last. They will evade detectives, bounty hunters and their newfound fame as criminal media celebrities. They will unknowingly buy the Devil’s used “GPS system,” which will take them to different layers of hell. They’ll unintentionally start a rampage of criminal copycats in the name of Avery and Irving. They will wonder if prison is better than what destiny has planned for them.

New episodes of VERY BAD KOALAS premiere every Wednesday, exclusively at VeryBadKoalas.com."

Right now they're taking a break after a very consistent schedule to re-assess how far they want to take this wild ride. So check them out. They're very different, and if you'd like to see more that's far off the beaten path, now would be a good time to drop them a line.
