VH-1: Video Hits One 1989

Best of Original Cartoons

Fred/Alan, Inc. New York 

VH1 has struggled for years for an identity, and even more, for a successful programming format. Fred/Alan worked with them from their launch in 1985, through at least three or four failed iterations until Alan and I closed the company in 1992.

The one purely hand drawn, 2D animation we did forT them was in 1989. Fred/Alan creative director Bill Burnett had a fantastic idea. The target audience was baby boomers (like Bill, Fred and Alan were) and one of the baby boom media icons was the satire and humor publication MAD Magazine. Bill engaged their classic comic illustrator Don Martin to storyboard a VH1 commercial to a score that included the last chord of The Beatles' masterpiece "A Day in the Life."

Did it work? Creatively, that's a big "yes." Ratings? Not so much. And so it goes.

Happy Birthday to SNL TV Funhouse animator and friend J.J.Sedelmaier! 2015 VIDEO INTERVIEW

J.J. SEDELMAIER podcast excerpt: “Robert Smigel called and said he had this script for a superhero-type cartoon, ‘The Ambiguously Gay Duo.’ Could he send it over? It was the first time I ever laughed out loud at a script. I’ve read scripts where I could see the humor in it and what I could do with it, but this was plain hilarious. I love comic books. To make fun of them in this way was extraordinary. I had to understand immediately that they aren’t gay. It’s the homophobia thing that’s driving it. If they’re gay that’s not half as fun as if they’re not and everyone else is freaking out… Once you know it’s Stephen Colbert (as Ace), you can’t not hear him. And Steve Carrell is doing a voice, so it’s very funny when you think, ‘THAT’S Steve Carrell?’ They were great.”

Mike Judge’s notes on this drawing:

mouth turned down

shoulders a little wider

butt not so wide

and TV needs to cut it off at half-ass

My first-in-class branding company with Alan Goodman, Fred/Alan, was quickly enlisted to work on VH1 from its slapdash January 1985 “fighting brand” launch when MTV Networks had their first music video competitor (which, ironically, was humiliated out of business two months before VH1 went on the air). 

The videos are in reverse chronological order, with my least favorite the bottom one.

All of the pieces feature legendary figures like MAD Magazine’s Don Martin, NY cartoon legends JJ Sedelmaier and RO Blechman, Charlex’s Alex Weil, Oscar winner Zbig Rybczyski, and Dale Pon and George Lois.
