In "Fantastic Two", Charly and Mitch diabolically concoct plans of fun loving stunts in a wide range of strange scenarios and locations to win each others fantasy football players. These 12 television/web episodes promoted Fantasy Football and were sponsored by McDonalds and Honda. Featuring William the Fridge Perry (Football Legend), Richard Moll (Bull from Night Court), and Don Gibb (Revenges of Nerds). The production design focused on not only an over all identity of each of the character and their environments but contributed to an aesthetic arc of playful presentation. Production designed highlights included a light-up/talking-Knight Rider-like-car, nostalgic flashbacks, a haunted house of blood and chainsaws, green screen/graphics, massage parlors, hot tub chats, Peking duck fights, ninja attacks, and many many more.
