Sockbaby

Even though its pilot just barely beat Computerman 6 for the fifth slot in January 2004, Auteur Doug TeNnapel's first Channel 101 series will forever go down in history as one of our most infectious. Brutally simple, richly stylized and driven by the hands-down best zero budget screen combat ever seen, Sockbaby began competing with Kicked in the Nuts downloads in record time and was on every 101 fan's mind and tongue for the entire month. Astonishingly, although its second episode delivered all you might expect and more, the live audience decided they had had their fill and Sockbaby entered the hamper, amidst good company, at the February 2004 screening.

SOCKBABY 3 has arrived!

Ronnie Cordova is drinking margaritas poolside when a gang of Frogmen attack him. He defeats dozens of the frogmen intruders and comes face to face with the Frogmen's leader (Jon Heder) after he emerges from Cordova's pool and births a doppelgänger (Dan Heder, in a parody of The Manitou), The Manitou Frogmen knock Cordova into the pool and mock him by telling him they have killed his master, but Cordova replies that it was only his master's clone. The Frogmen nearly drown Cordova, but he is saved when Doug Jones (played by himself) impales both frogmen with wooden stakes.
