Brutal Little Things

For all the little details in the series you may have missed! 18+ / minors DNI: I block minors, and I do check. As is typical for Metalocalypse, there is going to be gore, sex, drugs and booze. You've been warned. Key/42/Transmasc Nonbinary (he/they). Main Metalocalypse blog is Too Much Blood In My Alcohol System. Main blog is CooperationIsKey.

The bag Pickles takes to rehab is the same bag he left home with at 16.

Are you familiar with TranscribeKlok, it's a ridiculous wealth of MTL detail particularly about the Tribunal. (Also names a Dethklok album I'm pretty sure is mentioned absolutely nowhere else.)

Oh wow, no, I'd never seen this before! I've been going through them myself out of curiosity but I had no idea someone had it all so organized. Very cool, thanks for the tip!

There's a lot of fun little details on The Teenager™'s computer when he goes to illegally download Dethklok mp3s. Strap in, this one's a long one.

This kid is apparently a huge fan. There's icons for each band member along the left-hand side of the desktop, while the right-hand side includes "Blood Ocean," "Dethkopter," "Willard Wonka" (the candy company that has a endorsement deal with Toki [S01E01 Skwisklok]), Duncan Hills, and Snakes n' Barrels. Put a pin in that last one, we'll come back to it eventually.

The Skwisgaar video is pretty easy to spot behind the focused window, but less easy to spot are the track names of the available mp3s, which while mostly actual songs, has a couple interesting gems that don't exist in the real world: "Inner Child Tied & Beaten In My Trunk" (yikes), and "Crush My Battle Opponent's Balls."

Oddly enough, "Deththeme" is also listed, which raises some fourth wall questions. Then again, the Tribunal knows the song too (see S01E01 The Curse of Dethklok), so perhaps they use it at concerts?

Also seen in this window are links for Snakes n' Barrels, Planet Piss (a partial demo, lol), and most of the bands Skwisgaar has been in, including 10 Points to Gryffindor, which didn't make it into the episode where he lists them off (S01E08 Snakes n' Barrels) likely for legal reasons (I believe he mentions it in an extra/cut scene? I know I've seen it I just can't remember where). This list also gives us the 'proper' spellings for Ganagaar Alilileel and Gognogmogdogalog.

And now we finally circle back to Snakes n' Barrels in these two bonus frames:

The Teenager has posters for both Snakes n' Barrels and Blood Ocean on his wall, and a teeny tiny Planet Piss sticker on his bedroom door.

Talk about a lot of blink-and-you'll-miss-it details. Phew!

Heres the diefordethklok page from that episode, where you can also see the kid’s desktop more easily. Some notes

-concept art how nice

-were the jomfru bros selling stuff??

-implication that pickles legal name really is pickles the drummer doodily doo ding dong doodily doodily doo

-the computers name is “snotnose”.. because of this, i sometimes call the teenager this

[brutallittlethings]

"In other news, Pickles, the drummer, Doodily Doo, Doodily Doo, was found"

Was found what?? where?? I must know!! Truly a cruel cliffhanger, that.

Thanks for sharing! This is really cool. The art of Toki is terrifying. I'm guessing the Jomfru bros. were selling probably like, "Die for Dethklok" merch and the like?

At the tribunal in the first episode, they also refer to Pickles as his 'full name': Pickles the Drummer, doodily doo ding dong doodily doodily doo. (Murderface is also "William Murderface Murderface Murderface.")

I had read that the computer's name was Snotnose but hadn't seen it for myself; thanks again!

I like the Briefcase Full Of Guts icon! I am a little concerned over "Hotdog Tech" though, lol.

Cool stuff. 😁

WAITASECOND his wallpaper is Deaddy Bear!! This thing is the gift that keeps on giving lmao.

just one post and i already love your blog I watched the series 6 times and never noticed that, it's so awesome what

Aw well thank you! I keep noticing little things like that lately so figured it'd be fun to highlight them. And yeah Pickles on his tiptoes is one of my favorites, lol.

[brutallittlethings]

Starting the blog out with one of my favorite 'little things':

Pickles has to stand on tip-toe to see the videogame Nathan's playing.
