Welcome to the Sunny Side Down- a diner hanging inexplicably in front of a supermassive black hole. Our heroes are Nat, a human waitress with mad scientist tendencies that’s scheming up how to safely escape the black hole’s grasp (and her crappy service job), and Yabba, the ancient diner cook that knows all but tells nothing. They work together to serve the wrinkly old timers who refuse to move on into the black hole.
This series of six, 2-minute animated episodes focus on which weird aliens got sucked in this time, parodying classic sci fi properties like Star Trek, Terminator, The Matrix, etc, while developing an audience connection to Nat and Yabba’s relationship.
Nat (or Gnat, as the diner regulars have dubbed her) has had enough of this dead-end service job and threatens to Yabba she’ll quit, though Yabba is unfazed: and go where, exactly? Meanwhile, the newest diner arrivals dare to hope that their harvested hyperfuel from schmoozing with the locals might just be their ticket out of here.
A trio of black-leather clad agents mysteriously appear in the diner, promising to free the diner from the clutches of the black hole… just if the patrons give over their galactic identification numbers first. This Matrix parody asks what if the blue pill… and the red pill… did exactly the same thing: nothing?
