I remember watching an online cartoon and I’m hoping somebody can ID it. It was about three models in a big city (probably Manhattan). The animation was pretty limited. The humor was pretty raw. There were jokes about cutting, eating disorders, and drug use. I think it was YouTube but I could be wrong. I saw it about five years ago. Any ideas? ---

Nobody? The board is disappointing me. Usually these questions get answered within ten minutes of being posted. ---

Sorry, Sir. I spent about 5 hours looking in google and youtube. All for nothing. Are there any more clues? Maybe a voice of a character that reminds you of someone? When you say the animation was limited, would it compare more to… - Dr Katz? - the first Simpsons shorts? - South Park? - basic stick figures? Anything? ---

As I recall, it had a _South Park_ look, like it was done with cut outs (although I assume it was actually done on a computer as _South Park_ is). Thanks for looking. ---

And your sense is that it was a web-only thing? Did it look at all like the “Charlie the Unicorn” animation? ---

Unfortunately, I can’t offer much more information. I saw this online at least five years ago and maybe as long ago as ten years. I was surfing around and found this cartoon pretty much at random. I watched it and thought it was funny. Something reminded me of it recently but “web cartoon with three models” didn’t work as a google term. So I was hoping somebody here might recognize it from my vague description. (A not unrealistic hope as I’ve seen people identify things with clues as sparse as “I saw a movie six months ago. Can anyone tell me what its title was?”)
