Blk 88 (大牌88) is a Singaporean Chinese language web series produced by MediaCorp in 2012. Webisodes are available on xinmsn's catch-up TV portal, an online portal run by MediaCorp in collaboration with msn.com, and were broadcast on Channel 8 after the initial release. It was commissioned by the Media Development Authority after the success of web mini-series Let's Play Love.[1] Not only is it the first locally produced animated web series, it is also the first animated comedy series produced in Singapore.[2] It stars veteran actors Huang Wenyong and Lin Meijiao and Y.E.S. 93.3FM deejays Lin Peifen and Seah Kar Huat (Xie Jiafa) as well as several guest artistes.
Like Let's Play Love, Blk 88 was also well received by netizens, especially for its humorous satirical references to familiar aspects of Singaporean life and society.[3] It notably satirised the MRT breakdowns which happened in December 2011.[2]
