- Hi guys, my name is Ben Bayouth.

I'm the creator of Blark and Son

and the voice of Blark.

- And my name is Adam Aseraf

and I'm the executive producer of Blark and Son.

- I appreciate you adding probably before alcoholic.

- I will be in my room until I can legally emancipate.

- I think it's time we do some

father/son bonding activities, hmm?

- The earliest versions of Blark and Son

I always thought about my grandfather.

- Blark, father of son.

- He would tell stories about his life over and over again.

- Winning you from that Kansas City zookeeper

in a game of Freeze Tag

was the best thing that ever happened to me.

- Didn't he kill a tiger or something?

- He was in India on set - - Because he was (indistinct)

- Espinka! (loud crashing)

(evil laughter)

- During their downtime, he's "I wanna go hunt,

be right back."

(Adam laughing)

And these people are like, "Excuse us,

there's a tiger plaguing our village.

Will you kill it for us?"

It happened, he showed me the skin.

- Aha! (soft groaning)

- This hyperbole of a person

is the main inspiration for Blark.

- Argh! (gun shots firing)

- And our relationship had a really big gap

between us and interests.

- I'm at Tit's Deep helping my boy, Urinal, level up.

- The computer guy?

- But you know, he's this incredible builder

and I've always been interested in making things

so those are places where we connected that inspired me.

And I am not as dirty as Son, but I'm definitely a nerd.

- Booyah!

Game, set and match.

- Gosh, it's like five years ago now,

Ben, he's like, you know I have this idea.

And then I remember that drawing you showed me.

You can just see the odd couple nature of it.

Ben had Blark's voice too,

he's like, "Kinda sounds like this."

- I'll never forgive this.

- I sculpted Blark.

One of my good friends, Jake Corrik, sculpted Son

then Adam and I worked away

on all the writing side of things.

- That's when we went to Stoopid Buddy.

- Packing up the old outline now,

and I'll be at the agency in 20 minutes.

- They liked it enough to just say, you know

we'll make it together.

- Oh (beep), homey.

- On the set of Blark and Son,

somebody walking in would immediately feel

like they're a giant, you know.

Our sets and our puppets are one-third scale.

You could actually walk through the sets

because they're raised off the ground.

It can be kind of surreal but really fun.

It's like being in a fort as a little kid or something.

When thinking about the engineering of the puppets

for this show, I wanted to do something

I hadn't seen a lot of.

Puppets typically have been made out of something

called foam latex, it kind of wrinkles and stuff

if you really compress it,

and if you stretch it too far, it'll tear.

Silicone is a much different material

that has a ton of benefits visually.

One of which translucency, the elasticity is umatched.

Because of that we can push them to do things

other puppets wouldn't do quite as easily.

- Argh!

- You can give these looks

that almost feel like their live action cartoon.

- But they are very, very heavy.

- So heavy we're forced to do every single scene

line by line.

- You think I'm a loser, don't you?

(crew laughing)

- [Cameraman] That was great, one more,

right away, right away.

- You're gonna see Adam saying,

"Great, let's try that sentence again,

but on the word "and" bulldog the camera,

which in Blark and Son world means that Fledge,

or Blark, goes like (Ben blabbering).

- Wai-wai-wait, please don't leave me.

- This show at it's core,

it's a family show about broken families.

- Fine, (beep) (beep) fine, (beep)

I'll do your stupid son swap.

- [Adam] Stacey is this unbelievable narcissist

who has this adopted child,

and even Regina, she gives us little clues

into what her life is at home.

- A little girl (soft farting)

should never have to scooter through a drive-through!

- But the whole cast is kind of one giant family.

They're all so far up each other's ass.

- I'm going to go (beep) your mom.

- And we wanted to make sure

that it made people feel something.

We thought, wouldn't it be cool

if by the middle of an episode, you're like,

"Man, I feel something for this lump

of grotesque silicone that's on the screen right now."

Our favorite moments in Season 2,

that's a great question.

Episode one, at the very end Chimpy has escaped

into the backyard and they see the backyard

blowing in the wind,

(Son trembling)

which leads to Son in episode eight

stepping into Chimpy's clearing, ready to battle him.

- I think it's when Son kills Mr. Pockets.

- I was going to say that.

- You know, we always talk about the loss of innocence

and to actually kill your innocence?

- No matter how many times I've seen it,

which is at this point, hundreds of times

the feels come out and that's fun for me.

- I'll never be oh...

(loud gunshot)

- Ah!

- [Adam] Thank you guys so much for watching.

- Go ahead and put it on loop on YouTube

and sleep with it on.

And eventually you might see a longer cooler version

of Blark and Son out there.

- I love you, Son!

(upbeat music)
