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.

Technique: 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: First seen on the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special, and later on the sixth and seventh seasons of Robot Chicken.

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.

Technique: 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 pilot episode 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 and M.O.D.O.K. on Hulu, the short-lived Buddy Thunderstruck on Netflix, Ultra City Smiths on AMC, Santa Inc. on HBO Max, and the special Mickey Saves Christmas, among others. It is expected to also be seen on the upcoming Rhona Who Lives by the River on Disney+.
