TOKI: (Usual confusion) Brenn-Donn's muth-hurr ams lets him goes on int-turs-nets?

MURDERFACE: (Schemes) If I can get that (Expletive censored by guitar riff) mom on-line....I can have her all for myself...(Excited) and I can FINALLY get LAID!

TOKI: (Excited) OOH, YUM! LAIDS PO-TAY-TOES CHIPS!

MURDERFACE: (Angry; to Toki) I wuzzn't tawkin' about CHIPS, you...(Another expletive censored by the all too familiar guitar riff)!

[holkimcardie1]

LOL!  beat me to it.

NATHAN: Man, I LOVE CHIPS!

CFO: Like the ad states: NO ONE can eat just one.

Okay, Brendon has started to reply to questions on Reddit.com.  I'll copy pasta them as I find them.  So check back for edits with more of his replies. Think I got the few really interesting ones

First one is:

Does Metalocalypse have a clear direction (as in, are we going to get the satisfaction of having all the loose plot ends tied up one day)?

Also...Is CFO really who he appears to be?

[–]therealbrendonsmall[S]

yes, there has been an ending in mind since the show's beginning. . .

and you'll see during this season that we start to go there.

and you're going to find out a lot more about CFO's fake death this season and where he was. . .

Second:

Why did you decide to switch to the half hour long format for season 3 and why did you go back to 15 minutes for season 4? Any plans on the Dethalbum 3?

[–]therealbrendonsmall[S]

quarter hour format best served this particular season for the season arc- thats why.

and we are plotting dates to get in the studio for DETHALBUM III NOW!!!!

I know you’re going to have a lot of questions coming in, so feel free to only answer those which feel most relevant to you if you can’t answer them all.

Charles Foster Ofdensen is one of my favorite characters in anything ever. How did you come up with him? On one hand, he’s almost just a generic Chief Financial Officer, but at the same time, there are levels of CFO that I think we haven’t even discovered yet. He’s a caring part of Dethklok even though he can seem cold to the band members sometimes. He’s a ruthless killer to all who “F*** with his bread and butter.” He’s even a world-class fencer.

1) So how did you come up with this character? Where did your inspiration come from?

2) Have you considered starting any other projects? Considering the vast difference between Home Movies and Metalocalypse, what would it even be related to?

3) H. Jon Benjamin has become quite a success as a voice actor. You worked with him on Home Movies, but he didn’t show up in Metalocalypse. Was there a reason for that or did you just not feel the need for his specific voice in Metalocalypse?

4) What’s something that most people just don’t know about you that you’d care to share?

5) Will you be my friend? I’m sorry. You’re just too awesome not to ask.

1. the starting point of CFO is RObert Duvall from THE GODFATHER- and then you add in that he's always undermined by a bunch of rude celebrities- and then you give him some secrets. . .

2. I have some other projects in mind that I'd like to make that have very little to do with HM or Metalocalypse. I'm only interested in stuff I haven't done. I'm very disinterested in the the things I have done.

3. he'll show up some day.

4. here's something that not everybody knows my dog ERNIE is the HAPPY DOG (the viral smiling wiemaraner dog pic)

5. sure.

Hey there Mr. small, first of all (rhyme, heh), you are absolutely amazing. the comedy is so simple, yet so great! It's the little moments of the shows that really bring dethklok together (heh, the food libraries...). also, you are the fucking man on guitar.

Dethklok question: Are we going to get any more background on Toki? It was mentioned that dethklok is his very first band, and that another guitarist played before him in the show. Will we get to see how he got to be in the band, and the previous guitarists background at all?

Thanks for doing an AMA man!!

[–]therealbrendonsmall[S]

good question. the plan is to reveal their origins in the future.

but I'll tell you this: you'll get some back ground on MAGNUS HAMMERSMITH- original Dethklok guitarist THIS SEASON

(Looks like we were right about the name!  Or Brendon was influenced by our discussions!)

[klokateer513]

CFO: (Observant) Robert Duvall in 'The Godfather'...hmm: I always think of myself as Robert Duvall from...'The Great Santini.'

(Yells at DK) RECORDING ROOM! MOVE ALONG! MOVE ALONG! CHOP-CHOP! MOVE ON...MOVE ON!

[the-rebel-angel]

I'm excited to find out more about this Magnus guy. And the thing about Brendon's dog is hilarious.

[holkimcardie1]

Poor dog!  Brendon posted a photo on Twitter awhile back with Ernie in a collar of shame. I guess he was snipped. 

[klokateer513]

TOKI: Awws...poors ams pup's P...Toki wills ams maykes yoo happy!

ERNIE: ('Sees' Toki as the Grim Reaper...and lets out a HOWL)
