===Deathbed===
The Deathbed series are a series of animated parodies featuring various popular cartoon characters on their theoretical last day. The first deathbed video, "Sonic's Deathbed (Feat. Mario)" was uploaded on January 18th, 2017 and has since accumulated over 60+ million views.. Servetnik was inspired to make the short "after feeling heartbroken about the games that came out about him at the time." It gave him the most attention he had ever received for any of his videos. This motivated him to create sequels and spinoffs that were variants of the initial video. He claims he kept making parodies in this fashion because he was inspired by a webcomic strip called "Loss" by Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Deathbed videos are made to symbolize the state of the selected cartoon character's franchise. A character dying means that their franchise is supposedly, in Antoons' opinion, being milked for cash by its owners by creating poorly-made and soulless media that hurts said character's reputation in the eyes of the public. This, for one reason or another, manifests physically in the character as a fatal illness.
===YouTube Animations===
Antoons' series, YouTube Animations, is about YouTube animators getting together at the YouTube animation awards and competing over who will win the title of Best YouTube animator.
===History Videos===
Anton takes a closer look at the origins of animations from countries. So far he has made documentaries of the animation history from France and Russia, as well as the history of animation types.
