A YouTube hit is coming to the ABC as an animated series.
Beached Az will follow the success of a cheeky online clip, “Beached Whale,” by Aussie creators Jarod, Nick and Anthony (Macca) of The Handsomity Institute.
The clip shows a whale beached in New Zealand, complete with a thick local accent.
The ABC has commissioned an 11 part digital animation series which will open out to include the bizarre range of wildlife the whale meets.
It will premiere online from Thursday 20th August, followed by broadcasts on 9.25pm Thursday 10th September on ABC2.
It will also screen later on ABC1.

I can’t help it. I keep laughing and laughing.
‘nah, can’t eat a chup bru, ken only eet plankton’.
I love this clip so much.
Next up:
Alby the Racist Dragon
This has to be a joke?
If not, I’m willing to sell ABC a YouTube video of my cat, Seahorse, falling asleep for $1. At last count, it’s got 235 views, one low rating, no comments & runs for two minutes…
thus signals the final nail in the coffin for australian television comedy
Awesome. I can’t wait!
@An Bear I would watch that, would be awesome.
Really? No seriously, really?
What next, a 24 part serial drama based on Keyboard Cat?
I have a friend Rick who talks exactly like that, all the time. This sounds just like a conversation between Rick and his brother Ollie. I have no idea what they’re talking about most of the time – I don’t think anyone does. Kiwis they’re so funny
Funny as bro!
Next we just need them to pick up Charlie the unicorn series!!
Go the Hansomidy Institute!
Lacks a certain substance, like a plot, and characters, and a punchline, but I suppose a little development might help that out.
This is great news. Hahaha. To think this one clip would go so far.
