Dick Figures is an American adult animated web series created by Ed Skudder and written, directed, and produced by Skudder and Zack Keller.[2] The series, featuring two humanlike stick figures named Red and Blue who are best friends, aired for the first time on November 18, 2010.[3] Episodes, which are typically under 4-minutes in length, are distributed on YouTube by Mondo Media.[4][5] The series is aimed at mature audiences.[6] In 2012, Keller was nominated for an Annie Award for Directing in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production for the episode titled "Kung Fu Winners".[7]

The series, comprising over 50 episodes, has been viewed over 250 million times.[8]

After raising $313,411 on Kickstarter, Dick Figures was eventually given a feature-length comedy adventure film, titled Dick Figures: The Movie.[9] The 73-minute film became available on all major digital platforms on September 17, 2013.[10]

Although some spin-off material was produced in 2015, the original run ended with the final episode of Season 5, "Figured Out", in July 2014.
