"YOU PARASITE!" Had me laughing for at least a full minute😂

FUN FACTS: Jax is voiced by no other than MICHEAL. Pomni is also voiced by Lizzie Freeman (the same person who voiced ENA in Joel G's youtube series).

Fun fact: You noticed there was an image in Pomni's vomit, and the creator, Gooseworx, confirmed on twitter that the image in question is Metal Mario's texture from Super Mario 64 Sad fact: In the scene where Pomni, Ragatha and Jax are walking on the hallway on their way to Kaufmo's room, you can see multiple doors with characters that are crossed out with a red X, seemingly past characters that abstracted as well. One of the doors is a black queen chess piece who's designed similarly to Kinger, the white king chess piece, indicating that Kinger possibly had a wife that abstracted at one point

Little fun fact: in the official spanish dub for the pilot, in the scene where Caine is telling Pomni the disclaimer for her name it says that her name can't be transphobic nor have hate speech connotations, something that isn't said in the english version

Must protect *Pomni and Gangle* at all costs.

Trivia: Zooble is the first character in the Glitch Productions to use they/them pronouns. According to a tweet Zooble doesn't know what their gender is. It could be either because they're having an identity crisis or has forget it after entering the Digital Circus.

Fun facts: Pomni is confirmed to be 25, Jax is 22 and he's the youngest of the gang Zooble uses they/them ( but I think they're okay with any pronouns) and got there before Pomni, so they're the second most recent after Pomni Cain is confirmed to be an AI that really does want to help them, he just doesn't understand human emotions and such And also a mini theory but when Ragatha, Pomni and Jax are walking through the hallway there are multiple doors with crossed out people (including a black queen piece, kinda like Kinger) the theory is that they all abstracted, and can't be saved because they went, you know, insane, and Cain mentioned he can't control their minds, meaning once they go insane, Cain can't fix them and that's why there are multiple of those creatures in the basement

I just translated 'pomni' and it's a Slovenian word for 'remember' I'm so excited for this show to come out and to see all the lore ✨✨

I gotta say, Ragatha, Pomni, and Jax are my favorite characters! Caine is frikkin iconic too! "Why are you like this??" "What do you think of- *XdDcC"* "YOU PARASITE"

I love this show. Kinger and Jax are my favorites so far. It's interesting to see a cgi show where glitches and no clips are intentional. I really hope Pomni can keep her sanity.

The office Pomni is stuck in is heavily inspired by the game The Stanley Parable, which you REALLY ought to play! You'd appreciate it.

I don't want Pomni to lose her sanity. I just want to hug her.

It's funny how Caine said not to go into the void, and said "we stay right here, where I can keep my hundreds of all-seeing eyes on you", but then he only noticed Pomni when she went into the void.

Fun fact: *there’s a lot of these* Zooble is voiced by Michal Kovach’s partner! She was a animator for the Hazbin Hotel Pilot! She wanted to do voice acting for a while! :D

You were very curious about Caine, so i can explain a bit. Caine is an AI who exists in this digital world, and the rest are humans who've been sent into this world. Caine doesn't really know how to let them out(Or he does, we don't really know.) And basically, abstraction is when a person reaches their ultimate breaking point. There doesn't seem to be any actual method of helping them, so Caine just sends them into the basement for the time being. That's all we know so far, hope that answered some questions!

I really enjoyed the pilot of this show! Really hope they get enough support for them to make a full season!

This feels like "I have no mouth and I must scream", set within the confines of a 90s children's point and click adventure game. I know this is just a pilot, but i really hope we get a full series of this.

Pomni’s been here less than a day and she’s already loosing it. I REALLY hope this show gets funded

I have a theory... C&A is a game devolping company that uses AI to create parts of their game. At one point they've decided to put an AI in a completly empty void and see what it'll do. That AI is Caine. Caine created the digital Circus and at first was all alone except for the NPC's he created. Apparently C&A created a headset than can transfer you into the virtual world. That's how the humans appeared in there. All of the humans asked Caine the same question: "How do I leave?" Caine then started working on an exit. However he doesn't know how to get to the real world and all he's ever seen about the real world is the office of the game-dev company. So that's what he put behind the exit door, because it's all he knows about it. He's trying to give them an exit but doesn't know how to. Caine also noticed that the more time the humans are trapped in the circus the sooner they'll go insane and they then start to glitch out/get abstracted. That's when Caine came up with his little adventures. Caine hopes he can delay the humans from absrtacting giving him more time to work on the exit. The reason why Caine lied to them about the exit was to keep their minds safe. Caine explained the exit is a "work in progress" and as of currently leads into the void. Being in a completly empty void, with nothing there at all, would make you go insane faster. Caine wants to help them, but he doesn't know how to do so. So all he can do is to protect them by keeping them away from the void and entertained them to keep them sane.

Caine is an AI. This series is basically a kid friendly version of "I have no mouth and must scream".

I feel so bad for Pomni. I hope that she and her new friends can find a way to escape this digital game.

You're right, there's an image as the texture of Pomni's vomit. I'm pretty sure this is the exact same image that's used as Metal Mario's texture in Mario 64, which is an incredibly niche reference that not many people would recognize. I love this ^^

I like how Jax was nice to Pomni: He remembered her name and I think he was also standing up for Pomni when they were going up the elevator

I think the reason why Caine can fix glitching and not abstraction is that it was mentioned that abstraction is the "terrible thing that happens when you reach your breaking point". So you break physically into this thing when you break mentally and you start to break anything else. Caine mentioned that their minds are one of the things he has no control which means he cannot actually fix the abstracted people unlike glitching which seems to be actual physical damage. That explains why he put those in the cellar. In the hallways with their quarters, you can actually see multiple doors with people on them but they are all crossed out except the ones we saw so far in the show which menas that they somewhat are gone. Perhaps destroyed or abstracted.

this show left me feeling disturbed. years ago i had a mental breakdown and was committed to a asylum. the introduction of pomnni to the other characters reminded me of how the counselor just threw me in a room with the other patients. i was confused as to what was happening to me, and it was made worse by the eccentric and well a spade a spade crazy people that were there. the counselor gave us activities and then when we did good we could eat. The art style reminds me of 1980s digital art.

Fun fact: The voice actors for Jax and Zooble are a couple 😁

I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this, man 😭 This is such a good pilot

Kinger is my favorite character so far. It looks like he's based on a White King wooden chess piece, and one of the crossed-out door portraits was of a character that looks to be a red-robed Black Queen wooden chess piece. Makes me wonder if that was just a coincidence, or were they a couple that got pulled in at some point? Also, yes, the joke of "XDDCC" had absolutely NO business being that funny. Perfect delivery. *chef's kiss*

Fun fact: Gooseworx herself confirmed Caine isn't evil. he's just oblivious to human emotions and doesn't really know how to properly interact with them.

Jax is basically Angel Dust but not horny.

15:08 I think abstractions are impossible to cure for Caine since it’s all down to their mind and if they’ve given up hope. Since Caine cannot control the mind, he can fix glitches but not abstractions.

6:03 don't know if the creators made it on purpose, but in russian "pomni" means "remember"(in meaning like "remember about that") and it's pretty ironic because Pomni doesn't remember anything

It's funny that the name "Pomni" in Russian means "remember", because the main character literally does not remember anything lmao

I find it interesting that Pomni manifested as a clown type character the same day they happened to lose another clown. My guess is that sock puppet character abstracted when Ragatha was spawned in, and there was a door with a crossed out chess piece that probably happened when Kinger got there (with a game show and an insect collection?) and so on, so there's a rotating cast of specific TYPES of characters. Idk if that ramble made any sense

I've been a fan of Gooseworx for a long time, so I've been looking forward to this since it was announced. Something about the juxtaposition of psychological dark comedy with bright cheerful colors and wacky characters appeals to me. Gooseworx's pitch for the show was "'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream' with the aesthetic of an 'I Spy' book", and the visuals are very much inspired by those books and 1990s pre-rendered CG computer games. Pomni was stated to canonically be 25 years old after people started making (predominantly foot-related) Rule 34 of her.

The ending just hits different. It just shows her whole reality being shattered and it’s kinda sad.

My theory is that all of them are/were workers of this C&A company but they're basically outcasts and asked to be guinea pigs for the company's new product. For example: Jax: Probably being the jokester in the office Rag: The optimist Zooble: The attitude problem person Kinger: Weird insect collector guy Gangle: Timid office worker And then Pomni: The newbie, thus a big target to push things onto her cause of it.

The fact that they managed to make so many dubs, including one for my country (I'm brazilian) amazes me so much

*Welcome to The Amazing Digital Circus!!*

I have a feeling the proper show would give us a new protagonist with Pomni already assimilated into the world as an insane nonsense-mumbling jester.

Caine: * Pomni I've snorted an entire suitcase full of coke, and I'm starting to feel the affects. AHAHAHAHAHA!*

Hope that you enjoyed this pilot of this beautiful new cartoon !! If you want to know it, there’s all characters with their pronouns = Pomni : she/her Cain / Caine : he/him Bubble : he/she/they? Jax : he/him Ragatha : she/her Kinger : he/him Gangle : she/her they/them? Zooble : they/them (any pronouns) Thank you and see you soon 🫶

(Bubble eats the Angel Food Cake) Caine: "You parasite!" LOL!!! I love Caine so much!!!!

I genuinely think everyone here is innocent . Humans who are living in these new forms in this new place because they can’t leave, and Caine just trying to host his “video game” and help everyone from going insane- since they can’t leave.

I love the fact that thanks to Murder drones( One of the best show i've ever seen) She Is intrested to every new glich series and im so exited in what She Is gonna think of Digital circus( another incredibile series) 😁

(Bubble licks the vomit) Caine: "Why are you like this?" I got grossed out when I saw that.

Caine: "What do you think of Xddcc?" LOL!!! I was laughing so hard and rolling on the ground when I heard that!!!! XDXDXD

My theory is that the headset just makes a copy of the persons consciousness which gets put in the simulation. So the actuall person might still walk around and just thinks they put on a broken oculuss. So non of the people in the circuss have ever been real people, they just have the memory of being one.

Appearantly this show is inspired by "I have no mouth and I must scream". Its a sci-fi horror story about an AI that hates humanity and destroyed almost all of them, except for 5 ppl, who the AI tortures for eternity, making sure they are unable to die by any means. So I guess if Cane is an AI (which im not sure yet) he definetly doesnt want the humans to leave, he probably doesnt hate them, but he definetly knows why this is all happening and for some reason is programmed to keep ppl from leaving.

It's only been seconds and already Pomni is my favorite character, I thought Uzi from Murder Drones was damaged but Pomni is damaged in a super hilarious way, this world is destroying her.

Some theories I've got so far are a) Potentially the reason Pomni couldn't take off the headset/why none of the humans can leave is that they're actually digital recreations of their real life selves. Sorta like in the 2015 game "SOMA": The main characters volunteered to have their brains scanned by the C&A company as part of some experiment to see how the human mind reacts to simulated space. 2) There's at least a bit of religious undertones in the pilot: The "C&A" company logo could be short for "Caine and Abel". Also how all the chairs are arranged for the digital feast could be viewed as a recreation of "The Last Supper". Third) Caine is has no malicious intentions for the human residents but he (unfortunately) just doesn't have the means of helping them, so all the "adventures" are him putting a band-aid on a bad situation

14:06 my theory is that Caine is just a game AI, this is a game that’s glitched in a way that prevents players from being able to leave. Caine looks sinister but he isn’t, he’s actually just doing his best to prevent these people from going insane in this situation, and genuinely doesn’t know how to help them

Jax is voiced by Michael Kovach, who also voices N from Murder Drones and Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel!!!!

No words can express how freaking excited I am to see you react to this!

Ragatha is such a sweetheart!!! I think she and Pomni will be great friends. I'm not sure what Pomni's real name is though.

I think the Xs signify the ones that broke down. And Caine keeps them away from hurting the others

Jaz is Quickly becoming my favorite character

Okay it's fun fact time because I know stuff now- Jax and I believe Zooble are the youngest ones at the age of 22 (however Zooble is older than Jax) Pomni I think is 25 Pretty sure Gangle is 28 or 26 Ragatha is 30 And we have Kinger who's 40 (Please correct me if I'm wrong- I'm doing this from memory)

YESSSSS I WAS HOPING SHED DO THIS

Gangle is so sweet. I just want to give her a big hug.

yippee chain 👇

all voice actors Pomni: Lizzie Freeman Jax: Michael Kovach Caine: Alex Rochon Bubble: Cooper Smith (Gooseworx) Amanda Hufford: Ragatha Sean Chiplock: Kinger Marissa Lenti: Gangle Ashley Nichols: Zooble

I looked at this and said “oh” like kinger did-

Welcome to the amaizing digital circus where people are simping for Jax

13:46 “Caine and able technologies” 2:30 maybe tron(digital abduction) (The void is my home…Caine has no authority over me) 4:52 it’s pronounced “G-DUrSHK”

Not so fun facts: Idk if this is canon or not but Jax is said to have entered the digital circus at 11 years old and is currently 22, if this is true then this might explain his lack of empathy as he was never really given a chance to actually experience anything which includes that 👍

FunFact- Caine is actually a good guy who wants to help the humans and keep them form going insane he just doesn't understand humans do too him being AI

The way that they're bleeping out the foul language was so funny!!! LOL!!!!

I think it's harder to make the glitching effect but moving the model that is doing the said glitching is easy. Anyways, I recommend ENA for you to react to if you haven't watched it already, the first two episodes are short (3 min and 6 min) but there is also a game coming out sometime at the end of the year!

It was very strange for me to hear the name Pomni, Because from my native language this word means remember, namely asking a person to remember something ._.

Fun fact; while all the others are humans who are trapped in there, It was confirmed that Caine and Bubble are AIs

I can already see film theory having a field trip with this show

13:45 I’m calling it, if Caine’s backstory isn’t somewhat similar to the Bible Caine’s version then I’ll loose my shit- I heard a theory about him and I now want it to be true 😀

Fun fact!! Pomni it's a Russian word, it's translate remember. it's quite ironic

Yeah, it's theorized that Jax is not only quintessentially selfish but might be a complete sociopath and suffers from Antisocial Personality Disorder. Whether he was like that before or after arriving is a mystery.

Pomni is so cute, i love the character designs

If you look closely at the doors while they’re walking in the hallway, you can see LOTS of people exed out. I wonder if what happened to the clown also happened to them?

Yes, I'm so excited for this reaction Elijah!! 🎪🎪🎪

Imagine if this happened after the Drones took over, and humanity was forced to transfer their consciousness into a game.

I just watched the pilot and "UNHINGED AND I LOVE IT" summarizes my comment, and reaction to it *perfectly*

My theory is that the place that Pomni entered from the Exit Door was the Digital Circus' "Dev Room". A Dev Room is essentially a closed off controlled area in a game only accessible by devs so they can test in game assets and/or mechanics. Represented here as the literal Devs' Office Space.

Hope im not the only one who thinks of the stanley parable when they see the exit sequence, the first time i saw it i immeadiatly started thinking "the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end..."

The style is very early 2000s 3d animation mixed with those old mouse click child games. I love it

Shows like this show the wider possibilities of the "Alice in Wonderland" trope, which today most call "Isekai" but that seems to generally refer to the (you dead) ones where the *find a way back home* plot line is removed. But so many of the "Isekai" ones seem to fixate on a fantasy style RPG world, with the variations being aside from different levels of how game like the world is more so on the protagonist (regular person, hero, villain, monster, other wacky thing, etc...). But there is more we could do with this concept like stuck in a kid's show world, stuck in a mech series.

So apparently Pomni is voiced by one of ENA's VAs. Speaking of, would you like to react to the ENA series by Joel G? It'll certainly be an amazing trip as well :)))

Zooble and Jax are so funny!!! I love them so much!!!!

16:36 When asked what year it could be shown, I would say it is around the late 90s and early 2000s.The old computer elements (CRT screen, Speakers) and other elements adjust to the era. The start of the game at the beginning of the video is in 4:3 aspect ratio as is An apparent resolution of 640 x 480, which was what the screens at the time for PC Games.

Pomni is actually 25 apparently jax is the youngest at 22

I DIDNT even know about this it just popped up when it came out on my recommended and I’m OBSESSED

My favorite character is caine

So far, you’re the only person who also found “What do you think of XDDCC?” as funny as I did, thank you for this validation.

3 favorite lines: 1. YOU PARASITE! 2. XDDCC 3. Let's go before the moon gets FRISKY!

I think Caine is actually good. Perhaps there some post apocalyptic scenery going on in the real world and people are being saved in the digital world. Idk. 😊

Elijah: Is that Michael? Is that Michael again? 2:06 Me: Yep, Michael Kovach, who also played the voice of N from Murder Drones.

The endless "Exit" rooms reminded me so much of Stanley's Parable. Anyone else?

UGH I LOVE DIGITAL CIRCUSSSSS

Creators stated that they were inspired by The Stanely Parable for the office spaces. And I wonder how Kinger would know about the nutritional requirements of the food they are about to eat. And by the way, when the ring master's eyes flashed blue, that was a BSD (blue screen of death). That is what windows of old would show when the OS crashed. And the background noise was a carrier tone. That is what you would hear when you connect to the internet via dial up connection through a modem.

The most ironic thing is that the one who doesn’t remember most of her life is called “Pomni” 😂

You know it’s weird that the last person that lost their mind was a clown and Pomni, a jester/clown like character pops up. It’s like she replaced his part literally.

I really love Caine!!! He's so funny and unhinged!!! I love it!!!!!!!!
