      It’s a website from the early 2000’s that had absurdist flash animations centered around weird cartoon characters in a fictional small town. It was kind of like a weird interactive TV show for a while.

        Ah nice, that sounds cool. I probably would have enjoyed it if I had been old enough at the time

          I’ve had to explain it to my younger friends from college that all these flash animations the old farts reference and nostalgiagasm over were simply the best media available on the internet at the time, because online video just wasn’t really a thing yet outside of flash animations
