NOTE: This clearly has NOTHING to do with Max and Kyle from "Living Single".

The series follows the daily lives of two best friends, Max and Kyle, who live in a treehouse. Their other friends are Jake and Billy. Other recurring characters include Rocky, Heather, and Wendy.
==Premise==
The series revolves around the daily lives of two best friends – Max and Kyle – who live in a treehouse in the middle of the neighborhood while going to school. They also spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means. Despite this, they seem to care about their grades. A few other students serve as their friends.

===Writing===
While there are a few Slice-of-Life episodes, most plots of the episodes generally begin with a simple problem that the characters must overcome. While the protagonists work on their task, a strange and unusual thing appears and makes the problem even bigger. Once the problem is finally fixed, there's a plot twist near the end.
The plots of the episodes were influenced by unusual stuff, such as realistically playing dead or accepting a dangerous challenge for money. The show also makes references to media such as internet videos.
===Animation===
Each episode of The Amazing Adventures of Max and Kyle took about eight months to complete. Drymon and his team developed each episode at the Cartoon Channel Studios. The backgrounds were drawn by hand, then was scanned through the computer. The script was written on computer and the storyboards were illustrated in rough hand-drawn images. The script and storyboards were then animated and mixed with the corresponding dialogue to create the animatic, which was then sent to be approved by the network. The show's assets – backgrounds, character designs, props, etc. – were then assembled to be sent to Boulder Media in Ireland, where the actual animation production of the episode was performed. When finished, the episode was sent back to the Cartoon Channel Studios. Music and sound effects were created, and the final episode is mixed, completed and ready to be shown to the network.
