'J Dawgs' prove hit in satirical media

Creators of satirical new Titulian web series The J Dawgs are on the move as they release their line up of follow on clips on YouTube. Creators Lisa Carpenter and Chris Hoyt came up with the idea of satirising the political establishment, taking a poking iron to both government and opposition MPs alike.

"[Titulia] is boring as shit at the moment so Lis and I got together and thought of something people would want to follow" said Co creator Chris Hoyt.

Co creator Lisa Carpenter was surprised by the quick take up above and beyond Titulia's borders.

"I checked out the party's channel [on Youtube] this morning and saw that 27 people have watched the pilot so far. I thought holy shit that's more than visit Titulia in a week".

Today the web series entrepreneurs released a 10 second opening titles sequence with the track Hey J Dawg! with annotations to the next succeeding episode for faster viewing. They have also released their second instalment in the comedy sketch titled Campaign Routines but with a change in characters.






"We've used a combination of web creation technology site Xtranormal as well as our own software to spice it up more than XN can provide" said Hoyt.

"Through feedback received we've also made some minor touches to the series. For instance you'll now notice in ep 2 that we swapped around the characters so 'J Dawg' as was known from the pilot is now 'J2 Dawg' and vice versa. We've also changed the voice for [the new] J2 Dawg so he'll have his own unique sound".

Hoyt doesn't think the changes will impact the future success of the show.

"Pilots are there for a reason. It's to put something out there and see how others react. Anyone used to seeing this with television shows will notice more substantial changes that go as far as changing actors before the second episode comes out".

"....and this is Titulia too. If we put up a big poster in the background with the words 'fu-- yourself' I'd be surprised if anyone noticed".

When asked what we can expect for the future of the web nation's crazy canines, Carpenter (the editing queen of the series) was as off the charts as her new web show.

"I can proudly say that it looks like Titulia has gone to 'the dawgs' ", referring to the name of the show.
