For once, I didn’t learn bad news on the internet first! It’s something we’ve known for quite a while now.
On the day we learned, me and our asst editor put together an epilogue to provide closure while we waited for the news to go public. Here’s the real Clone High ending:

Fuck it, I never signed an NDA and it blew working this job
Last fall when I was at the end of my financial rope, I was offered a contract job through Google to train this bot. It was this or move out

So it got to a point where I stopped caring and stopped taking it seriously. It sucks that this shit is slop because it ruins the internet even more, but even big tech giants like Google aren’t immune from being run by baboons. Glad this is blowing up in their face 🖕🏾

The time has come for me to talk about why Debra Wilson is one of the greatest voice actors of all time... because of how seriously she took playing Skunky Poo in 305
She told me she was over the moon when she found out Clone High was coming back and wanted to make sure (1/5)
I really wish my memory served me better to talk about fun BTS stuff for S3 of Clone High, but it's another reminder of how long animation can take!
It was being written as far back as fall '21 and production started that following Spring - a LOT of life has happened (🧵1/???)

Job felt very impersonal, higher ups never interacted with the team, and our managers - while good people - were always on the brink of breakdowns because the engineers kept changing the rules on what they expected of us DAILY

We would flag ethical issues and point out that the AI keeps pulling from undependable sources. Didn’t matter because the rules/training would change 12 hrs later. They hired creatives because the engineers were probably incapable of writing 400 word essays in school

One of my favorite visual easter eggs in S3 is when Abe learns he’s the only virgin at Clone High. He shows Confucius a notarized form that other girls signed stating that he’s unattractive
In fact, he’s so unattractive that every woman that worked on the show also signed it!

Afterwards her and I talked in the parking garage for awhile. She told me how grateful she is to have her career where it is currently, told me some cool things about GoW Ragnarok, and even made me tear up with some very personal career advice. Fucking love her man ❤️ (5/5)

So when I tell you that she gave pitch perfect takes every single time, I mean PERFECT. And then she would be hard on herself saying she wants to try it one more time ("I'll give you a perfect take!")... AND SHE WOULD SOMEHOW DELIVER AN EVEN MORE PERFECT TAKE??? (3/5)

she could give the best performance possible. I thought that was funny because the role is just a Looney Tunes-esque skunk that fucks with Scudworth. She insisted on making sure she 100% understood Skunky Poo's mindset at all times to give the best run. We obviously obliged (2/5)

She asked so many questions, she dissected all of Skunky's Poo's motivations from S1 and S3, she was graceful and inviting of any and all feedback, and she's just so infectious funny and sweet. One of the most memorable voice sessions on the show (4/5)
