Background

Stoopid Buddy Stoodios is an animation collective founded as a haven for artists who want to create unique visuals and tell character driven stories with an uncanny sense of ability. It is a subsidiary of Stoopid Monkey and Buddy Systems. The company was launched in 2011, but did not use a logo until the following year.

1st Logo (September 9, 2012-December 7, 2014)

• 

Logo: We see a silhouette of the monkey from the current Stoopid Monkey logo run up to a silhouette of a person. The monkey jumps up to give the person a hi-five. The logo zooms out and the logomark "STOOPiD BUDDY STOODiOS" wipes in.

FX/SFX: All of the animation in the logo.

Music/Sounds: An acoustic guitar note when the logo begins. The monkey makes a joyful chuckle, and a clap sound effect is heard when the hi-five is given.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler's laughter is heard in the background, which has been doctored with echo. Also, a "SMACK" sound effect is heard when the hi-five is given, as opposed to the clap sound effect in the normal variant.

Availability: It was first seen on the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special, and then on the sixth and seventh seasons of Robot Chicken.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (October 8, 2015-)

• 
• 

Logo: We see the person's silhouette being cut out of white paper on a black background, then the monkey's silhouette runs up like before and hi-fives him. When this happens, a spotlight focuses on the center of the background as the letters in "STOOPiD BUDDY STOODiOS" in white appear in mid-air and fall into place. We see that the logo has its own shadow, making it 3D.

Variants:

• A shorter version exists on at least Ultra City Smiths.
• On the Robot Chicken episode "Why Is It Wet?", instead of the regular one, the logo parodies the Amblin Entertainment logo, where Elliot and E.T. are replaced by an upside-down boy on a bike.
• On the infamous Santa Inc., the logo is still and shares the screen with the Point Grey Pictures logo.

FX/SFX: All stop-motion animation.

Music/Sounds: A paper sound, then the same as before.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or it is silent.
• On the first season of Crossing Swords, the last part of the Hot Streets ending theme is briefly heard at the beginning.
• On the Robot Chicken episode "Why Is It Wet?", an E.T.-esque theme, which is heard on the episode's sketch.
• On Buddy Thunderstruck, both the logo's sounds and the end theme of the show play.

Availability: First appeared on SuperMansion, and then on season 8 of Robot Chicken. Also appears on Hot Streets on Adult Swim, Camp WWE on the WWE Network, Crossing Swords on Hulu, the short-lived Buddy Thunderstruck on Netflix, Ultra City Smiths on AMC and the infamous Santa Inc. on HBO Max, among others.

Editor's Note: None.
