“ Ouh I’m just fake” the character literally comes alive despite blatantly being a puppet with an arm going into him, and a man mouthing his voice in the same shot
That's the magic of puppetry
He is funny puppet
"This hand looks so real, I can feel it coming inside me!"
😌😔😥
Dude the show originally freaked me out and I thought it was weird but after a couple episodes had me laughing my ass off and now I'm obsessed. This s*** is pure genius
It's actually fascinating the way that they were able to pull this off. I found this show earlier today through an ad and binge watched it until the very end. From a film making perspective, starting with "unappealing", uncanny valley type characters and still being able to make them relatable and likeable is very difficult to pull off. Someone else in the comments brought up Mr. Meaty. They started out with grotesque and unappealing characters, and they failed miserably. They failed largely in part to poor writing and uninteresting story lines, but it sure wasn't helpful that the characters were very grotesque. If they had appealing characters it might not of gone down in such infamy, and it might of just gone down as a metiocre show. Then take this show. The characters are unappealing, and at first glance, are quite creepy, but due to the stories being well written and in a comical manner compliment the very chaotic nature of the show itself and after a couple episodes they no longer become creepy and the viewer is completely desensitized to the design of the puppets. By far this has to be one of the most unique shows I have seen, and it has overcome some major obstacles to get to where it is at now
Same lol I want more
@@lobterart1867 I found it earlier this week and that unnerving look hooked me.
Seriously I was nervous at first but I decided to give it a chance and I don’t regret it
What I like most about this show is that Blark loves his son so much. It's silly, but I really like how he just really wants to be with his son, and have his son love him back.
I binged the entire show because I couldn't tear myself away. The puppets are some of the best I've ever seen. The eyes really are the best part. Blark cracks me up with his facial expressions. Also take into consideration that this is shot and shown with really high picture quality so there was no hiding imperfections. Amazing show and I hope they get it going again and pickup where season 2 stopped.
The show is like crack, so addictive 😂
10:01 The way Son is just rocking is terrifying
Ikr that spooked me
Very
Yikes
He's alive kill it
Oof thanl goodness i looked at the comments to discover this
This was actually really cool to see.
Lol I subscribe to you. Cool to see a 2 year old post of yours. Just discovered these guys and the series on Comedy Central.
Uűuu7u7uuuu7ur
You know how hard it was to find out the name of this series after seeing memes of it surface? Nearly impossible. Couldn't do a simple Google search of "TV series with puppets on Comedy Central" since the only result that comes up is Crank Yankers, followed by a mention of a Jeff Dunham special, because in every single description of Blark and Son, the word puppet (or related derivatives of puppet, such as puppetry, etc.) is never once mentioned any where. I was only able to find the show by scrolling through all the videos on Comedy Central's RUclips channel until I recognized a *puppet* in the thumbnail for this show. Whose bright idea was it to omit this key word from any such description of this show?
0:04 i like how he doesn’t even have to move blark’s eyes to drastically change his expression
These puppets are so realistic when they show emotion on their faces. Right down to the wrinkles and placement of each little hair on their face.
This show deserves so much respect for all the effort these guys put into the show
I just discovered "Blark and Son", and my only input is that we need season three. It's quickly become one of my favorite shows. It's just fantastic writing, and funny as hell. I'd love to see more.
Christopher Mintz was the perfect pick for Son.
He's such a great actor.
This entire show is just perfection
Ben was in Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge and he was great! It's awesome to see that he's still doing what he loves
sweet
Congrats on getting on Comedy Central
puppets look great now get some writers!!!
Thanks, but I didn't get on Comedy Central
oedipa maas, if Blark and son didn’t get on Comedy Central then they are a really good copy.
There are not enough puppets in today's filmmaking landscape. :)
Did you see the Oscars?
There was an auditorium full of them!
something about puppets is creepy after a certain age. soulless eyes looking back at you. reminds you of death. creepy.
the dark crystal age of resistance is coming
I love the character and show I hope you guys do more lengthy shows and not short clips
Those are not puppets idk wtf there doing spooky puppets have feelings 2
I love it when sponsored content is closely related to the channel and is actually fascinating.
It is a damn shame this show isn't still going. I've marathoned the first-and-only two seasons so many times now and I'm ready for season 3.
What i like about the show is the writing is good and the puppets look so bugged out and crazy yet relatable at the same time. It reminds me of old mtv liquid television era stuff. I love it
These are easily some of the best puppets I’ve ever seen! They convey an incredible amount of emotion, especially with the eyes being so realistic
WE WANT SEASON 3!!! Please.
These guys are brilliant. We need a season 3.
Welcome back! Blark and Son reminds me of Mr. Meaty.
Key difference: Mr. Meaty should never have existed
@@Scarfysmom y
Yes!!!
This is kind of what I’m wanting to do for my career. Create things for movies, and making shows.
and driving uber so you can afford food
Show GREAT. Relatable for all ages regarding awkward, distance, and uninterested teenagers and for adults annoying, depressed, and self conscious. Great casting and productions. Also love the character development. Each character actually progressing and maturing, big or small. Please keep going.
This is so cool, I don't think I've ever seen silicon puppets like this before. I definitely want to do some puppeteering now!!
thanks for sharing @RocketJump Film School
Fancy Top Hat Films Same!
This show lessened my depression.
I can’t believe I’ve only just found this series.
Yeah. Me too. Imma binge the puppets out of this show
i found it two days ago
Bugsy Have fun binging
@@destroythehuman3380 😂 I've been at it for a while now...
Destroy TheHuman me too if I never found this series I would not even know where I was
This is something I needed to see at this moment in time. Very insightful and Inspiring. Continue to be awesome RocketJump.
The scale of this show is mind blowing. I assumeed they were much larger puppets for the detail and all the props behind them. So cool to see this.
I don’t why I got Episode 8 in my recommended.
*But, I’m glad I’ve found this series.*
I swear, People on youtube are more talented than Hollywood
When I had seen Blark and Fletcher through memes I thought they were supposed to be parodies of the dudes from Lethal Weapon. I'm surprised Blark and Son just came from a drawing!
Blark and Son. Bravo Joey! When I heard you were doing a tutorial on puppetry I thought you would be writing, narrating and pulling footage examples of different things that have been done over the years by different artists. This was great because you worked with some specific, very progressive and funny creators of today. Interesting to hear their puppet voices and how the teeth had to be cut so the mouth could close and make the S and P sounds,etc. I learned a lot, and the content wasn't over my head leaving me confused or not quite understanding the process. And after all is said and done, I am sure you have to really be creative and multi talented to produce puppets like Blark and Son. No getting around that! Looking forward to your next RJFS tutorial Joey!
I always thought the puppets were larger. It's weird seeing that they're actually just the size of a head
Dude so happy these guys are expanding. Remember when they used to do guest spots on the attack. Keep up the good work
I love how even their concept designs were a giga chad for Blark and a League of Legends playing Incel for Son.
Blark and son is a straight comedic perfection!
This is one of the best shows in a long time and happy we get behind the scenes
original sketch for blark is a chad straight up
I hope you guys had a good, Die Hard filled break!
Puppets are why the original Star Wars are so good.
We need a Season 3.
I've seen every episode twice and I still love it to this day.
I adore Blark and Son, this is a fascinating look behind the scenes. You guys rock!
I ADORE black and son. I lost my BEST FRIEND, my father about a year and a half ago... It kills me everyday and it's been unbelievably hard. So hard that sometimes it doesn't seem real. But I live an AMAZING life in his honor. I'm not rich but when it comes to heart and spirit.... He raised me right. Thanks for creating this show. It reminds me of the crazy relationship my dad and I had. Good times, they are so hard to reach now... Thanks guys. Some of the BEST puppeteering I've ever seen.
Man wish we got more of this show just recently found about the show ! HES IN THE WALLLLLLLS!
This is the greatest culmination of comedy, artistry and genius ever.
This was two years ago! I just found the series. Binge watching them all
I love Black and Son now I know it's because so much dedication goes into it
RJFS, You guys Rock! Thanks for showcasing this crazy show!
I love the detail you use on the sets as well as the storylines. And the puppets themselves are amazing!
At 10:00 look at the son puppet he looks like he is breathing or moving on its own
I seen it too lol
It’s sitting on a pole or something and it was just still moving from when he touched it seconds before.
Nah man its alive.
wtf!!! it is
This is so awesome, and one of the best shows, EVER.
0:59 - Rick and Morty alien?
Wish I could buy one
That’s where I recognised it from lol. Cheers
Gar Gah bleh bleh
Blargha blargh blargh??
Gragablakblak
Even though i may not always watch this show, im insanely greatful stuff like this exist. This is pure creativity
Why do I love these guys so much? How dare they so effortlessly worm their ways in my heart!
I was so taken by the puppets and the acting i didnt even catch most of the jokes the first time watching, i love this show i hope it keeps going
10:01
"And that helped them REALLY emote."
*Son nodding in the background*
Genius, absolute genius 👏
I find myself more intrigued with the special effects makeup and the silicone puppet then the writer part of the show, but still amazing when it all comes together. Great work guys
You guys are literally doing what I want to do for a living.
God I hope that this show blows up. I love it
I knew these puppets had to be big. Everything looks so real in a skewed surreal way.
I can only say that I can't wait to see new chapters, I'm becoming a fan of this...
This makes me appreciate the series much more, knowing all the work really put into it. It's so entertaining, and tbh I could never pin the style of how it was even made 😂👌
This is wonderful to see I've been trying to learn how these more "human" looking creations are made
I love how uncanny they are
Amazing! 🎉 Such a beautiful work, congrats guys! Much love from Brazil ❤
i jsut finally watched this show after seeing like a meme of it somewhere ages ago and jsut never looking into it-
but this show is both- REALLY funny- and just really wholesome.
thanks, also dragging my sister begrudgingly into this and WILL be sharing this w her
I seriously love the series, it's so funny and even has hearthwarming family sitcom lessons
I really enjoy watching the episodes and I love it, hopefully we see more in the future.
Wow didnt know how much work it actually takes to do this. Good job
BRING THE SHOW BACK!!!
To this day I still don’t believe these are JUST puppets.
I watch it on RUclips Comedy Central. Such an ingenious puppet skit. The ecstatics is creepy but plots are hysterical. I wouldn’t have nvr known it was Chris Mintz-Plasse playing Son’s voice. Loved him in the remake of Fright Night!
This was really interesting! And the Puppeteer dude is Rawr.
Came because of the memes, stayed because the show is funny, witty, wholesome, and all in all just a banger
Good start to the year with this upload, this is super interesting!
Ben , absolutely love this show ! Keep the episode and seasons coming ! This is amazing !
i never thought that the puppets would be so small but it makes sense oh my god
I just like how passive terrifying blark and son are
Blark and Son is one of my new favorite shows
I love that they're comedy central's YT with longer episodes...AND introducing new characters.
My family found this on RUclips when we where browsing the app then we found this. My brothers and sisters and me found it amusing but my parents thought it was creepy. Still love them 👍❤
anyone else noticed when he pulled the eye out son looked like he was scared and breathing heavily in the background?
Wow this is cool looking at the way they shoot with the puppets. We need to see behind the scenes for Spitting Image as well!
7:01 Blark sounds like a car. Ravine up. 😂😂😂
I love this show and I’ve been really curious about it’s production. This is neat.
When the puppets look at the camera mainly blark I can feel him staring into my soul
I blark and son is actually one of funniest things I've ever seen. I really hope it goes 4 seasons.
I appreciate this show even more now
I am becoming more and more inspired to be a VA
Me too
Ben bayouth makes Adam aseraf look like an amature in this video, Props to Ben. This show is amazing not only because it's hilarious jokes/writers, but because Ben made puppets that are quirky and awesomly dorky Plus so very relatable at the same time. But Adam this isnt a "diss" post towards you, I'm just acknowledging the talent/time it took for Ben to make this what it has become.
I can't stop seeing Son as Seinfeld
1:48 that ad was perfect timing
You guys are so cool and talented. Also congrats for getting your series into Comedy Central. Love your work :D
Amazing to see behind the scenes I love it 😄
The slightly agape mouths of the half puppets behind Ben in the beginning are nightmare fuel.
You are joking rocket jump made this. Bro they are everywhere I love it
Bring back Blark and Son
I hope one day we will have a season three🙏
These puppets give me nightmares, but I love the craftsmanship!
7:01 dude turned into a lawn mower
