Introducing
Pish'd
In a twisted blend of nostalgia, darkness, and humor, this captivating situational comedy for adults immerses viewers in the eccentric and uproarious world of British drinking culture, through the eyes of two drunk fish.
Drink Like a Fish
Get Pish'd
Pish'd is a hilarious new animated adults comedy that dives deep into the lives of two fish, Connor and Kane, living in a fish tank in the run-down bedsit of a reprobate addict named Jack. Each episode follows the misadventures of the fish as they experience the effects of whatever substance their owner drops into the tank while also exploring the UK's drinking culture.
Premise
Jack is a reprobate addict living in a dilapidated bedsit in a seedy part of town. In each episode, he stumbles into his hovel to feed his fish after indulging in whatever drink or drug he's been consuming that afternoon. He places his drink or drugs on the huge stolen speakers next to the fish tank and cranks a barrage of bass up to ten. His stash of alcohol and narcotics bumps along the speaker until it eventually falls into the water. Hungry for their next hit, the curious fish take a bite/gulp and in each episode, they personify the perception of the substance.
A Different Kettle of Fish
Meet the Characters
Connor and Kane are the main characters, who love and rely on each other but can never seem to agree on anything, even when they share the same opinion. Kane is a big, intimidating fish who always seems to find himself in ridiculous situations, while Connor is the smarter of the two but has a filthy mind and loves to share his inappropriate jokes and thoughts.
Kane
Kane is a big, burly fish with a heart of gold. He's fiercely protective of his friends and family, and he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in - even if it means getting into a fight. Despite his tough exterior, Kane is actually a bit of a softie, and he has a soft spot for anyone who's in need of help.
Connor
Connor is a fish with a sharp mind and a wicked sense of humour. He's always up for a good joke or a bit of mischief, and he's not afraid to speak his mind - even if his thoughts and comments are often inappropriate or crude. Despite his mischievous nature, Connor is actually quite intelligent and perceptive, and he often sees things that others miss.
Character Development & Design
These aquatic companions were developed with specific design considerations in mind, paying homage to British drinking culture. Serving as a reflection of their owner Jack, Kane and Conner embody the essence of this unique demographic.
