Radiskull and Devil Doll

Radiskull and Devil Doll

Radiskull and Devil Doll are an eccentric pair of best friends in the Flash web animation of the same name, created by Joe Sparks.

Characters

"Radiskull" is an enormous floating skull with a purple mohawk that often shifts its position on his cranium, depending on the angle in which Radiskull faces the camera. Radiskull is a die-hard rock n' roll fan. He is famous for his impromptu heavy metal performances, which are usually preceded by his declaration, "Now it's time to kick it!". Although he is an enthusiastic rocker, Radiskull often becomes tired, and spends most of his non-rocking time asleep.

"Devil Doll" is Radiskull's adorable little demon friend. Despite his squeaky voice, he is a skilled rapper, also possessing a number of useful demonic powers. He is also said to be "a hit with the ladies". He has boundless energy, especially when it comes to rocking, and he is often disheartened by Radiskull's narcolepsy. Often, he provides his friend with coffee, which seems to (temporarily) do the trick.

Devil Doll is romantically involved with an angel named Candy. Seemingly star-crossed, their affair is constantly threatened.

Both Radiskull and Devil Doll reside in hell.

Current status

The current fate of the cartoon is in question. After the publishing of an official Radiskull & Devil Doll book in 2001, the series ended with no explanation. Episode 8 was apparently the last to be produced, with the never-shown Episode 9's script featured in the book [* cite book

Episodes

*Episode 1: "I am the Radiskull..." - This is the first episode of Radiskull and Devil Doll and it introduces the main characters of Radiskull and Devil Doll. This is a very short episode. As well as introducing the main characters it also introduces their catch phrases.

Then Radiskull says, "Give to Radiskull." After eating the cup with the coffee in it, Radiskull states, "Yes, now its time to kick it." After Devil Doll screams "Yeaaaaaaaaaaa!" they sing the song for the episode "I am the Radiskull."

*Episode 2: "Hella Weenie" - This Halloween episode consists of the "neighborhood nerd" playing tricks on trick or treaters by hiding candy underneath fruit in a bowl and handing fruit out instead of candy.

The man covers in fear after seeing Devil Doll spew fire. Radiskull then appears saying "I am the Radiskull and I will kill you all." He then picks on the man, ripping his shirt. The man then runs away. Devil Doll then tells Radiskull not to look at a sign that says "Happy Halloween". Radiskull says "Radiskull hate Happy". They then proceed to come up with better words to use such as "bad, sad, and horrifying". Radiskull then gets tired and Devil Doll gives him the candy. Radiskull eats the candy, the fruit, and the bowl. Then he says "Something bad in bowl" and spits out an apple. He then says "Radiskull hate fruit". Devil Doll then suggests that he "hit the sign".
