In the long, grand tradition of Oompa Loompas and Fraggles, Honkbarn’s “idiots” are half-familiar, half-alien creatures that seem to be best able to express themselves through dancing, singing, and hitting each other. As animated by Todd Ramsay - perhaps best known for his work on the latest TV version of George of the Jungle, which is drawn in the same bold, simple-moving Ren and Stimpy-esque style - Honkbarn’s five very short episodes consist of strange songs created by musician Dave Girtsman of indie band Blimp, visually represented by the idiots who sing and play them. For instance, in the first and shortest episode (none of them are given names), an obese, green, amoeba-like monster plucks the banjo and intermittently shouts a troglodytic “a-bu!” while his thinner, larger-mouthed neighbor bounces up and down on a horn yelling “heh!” until Mr. Green jumps on the latter, bringing the piece to a climactic blat.
