Rankle & Taint recreate your relationship troubles in their sweet and shameless series of animated shorts.
From the kitchen, to the bathroom, even at the front door, your issues are at home and out in the open.
Having problems with money? Who's the cheapskate, and who can't stop spending? Are you spending enough time together, or maybe too much? Who's always running late? How's your space? Live in a cracker box with no room to turn around, let alone have some privacy? And how about your worldly possessions? Have way too much, or not nearly enough? Things getting a little shabby? The list is endless.
How are you feeling? Exasperated with his bungling? Humiliated by her scorn? Oppressed or aggravated? Are you on a leash, or cracking the whip? Who's the bully and who's the fool? Are you so mixed up, you can't tell?
Write Rankle. Let him know what's going on.
Write Taint. Tell her all about it.
You reveal the naked truth, and we expose the good stuff.
About Rankle & Taint
Quick and Endless
In about five minutes, one basic female and one basic male bang through universal
relationship issues that end right where they begin.
You and Me and Everybody Else
This Flash series gripes on the web with lots of grunts and groans, but without a single
spoken word. So everybody in the world gets it and can write in their troubles.
Location, Location, Location
Every episode argues through a different exotic location that is really a domestic set.
A jungle is an entry way, a desert is a bed, a lagoon is a bath tub. Any location will do -
from atop the Eiffel tower, to inside a rickshaw, to the confines of an igloo.
Ready Set
Twelve scripts, six story boards, over 1,500 body parts, a few hundred sound files, and one
finished pilot. Let's go.
