Looks like the animation style of the cartoon "Home Movies" - seriously underrated show. Jon H Benjamin is the voice of the main character.

Same thought! Home Movies is one of my favorite shows.

And it looks so similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJcBL9JPfZw&list=PLqIbkxo6OP...

Err, that’s if you consider McGuirk the main character. Which sometimes I could see, haha.

Small voiced his namesake in that cartoon.

Yeah, as much as McGuirk is my favorite character on that show, I think it's a bit of a stretch to call him the main character. He's definitely the most recognizable voice from the show though!

The grill is really the main character.

Ah, you're right. It's been a while since I've seen the show.

I remember watching this show at 3am as a teenager, while my sister and I ate breakfast before heading out to our jobs on a dairy. We did not like this show, but it was really the only thing that was on at 3am. It was followed by The Oblongs which we vaguely remember as bizarre and joke about it being a shared dream we must’ve had when we fell asleep on the job.

I immediately thought the same and figured I just got one that looked kind of like that to start of with, and reloaded and reloaded and reloaded and was so pleased when I just kept getting ones that looked like Home Movies. Because of that, they all strike me as charming and amusing more than they do ugly.

Brilliant show. I grew up watching Science Court by the same creators. It's got a very sly sense of humour.

Brendon Small voices the main character. H Jon Benjamin is one of the supporting characters (coach McGuirk)

Yes, you are correct!

Home Movies carried me through the pandemic, fond memories of the show
