The RJL Show

**The RJL Show** is currently Nat23's main series. It involves Christian Horsey, the boss of Horsey Inc. (the business and building that he owns) getting constantly pranked by one of his employees. The employee in question would be Tyrone Leffew. However, they're not just any pranks, but more specifically, they're pranks specifically created by RJL Software (which is a real company that has real websites). As of Season 2, however, other employees would sometimes get the pranks rather than Mr. Horsey, in which case they would use a special program to report an RJL prank to him. Each episode contains one prank and one method of up-commence that Mr. Horsey chooses as a result of being pranked (well, him or one of his employees). Usually though, his plans don't involve the computer at all, but rather, they deal with real-life annoyances like a vibrating chair or bees from a beehive, or even actual weapons such as a laser gun, a knife, etc.

The first season finished up with nine episodes and one short. The second season is currently in production with eight of its episodes already out. There are plans for two more seasons, each with nine episodes and with little to no shorts in the batch as well.

## Notes & trivia

* RJL stands for RJ Lindelof, a software engineer of the company, although what RJ stands for isn't entirely clear as his full name explicitly states "RJ Lindelof".
* Nat23 found out about RJL Software pranks by finding a Clippy prank made by the same company. Only then did he find out about the other ones.
* The original series only had 26 pranks, a.k.a. 26 episodes. That changed to 40 sometime after XP's support ended, and then 36 in October 2020. In addition, there was never meant to be any shorts for the series as well until the day RJLShownuts arrived.
* In 2016, Mr. Horsey appeared briefly in a birthday short for Nat23's father.
* This series has been around long enough to go through multiple design changes of Nat23 throughout the years.
	+ When the trailer was made, it was the pre-2012 style that Nat23 had (100 smoothing of the brush tool, line eyes, line noses, and lack of limbs (even when they actually held objects)).
	+ In 2013, it was the jagged outlines style with pressure sensitivity (well, partially, as some of the 2013 episode was done before Nat23 got a Wacom tablet), circle eyes, different-shaped noses, mouth flaps (most of the time), and occasional arms.
	+ In 2015, the style had combined line and circle eyes, jagged outlines appearing less often, the lack of mouth flaps, constant funny faces, and arms and hands appearing all the time.
	+ Only in 2020 did the show's art style barely change since. By then, it had one of the first appearances of Nat23's current style (save for the noses, but we'll get to that in a bit). At this point, pressure sensitivity (except in rare cases) and jagged outlines were done away with for good, the line eyes returned, the mouths looked more like the 2008 ones (although that was already the case for a while, as seen in one of Nat23's former series the Blugrays), arms were occasional while funny faces and hands even less so, and there were no more shading or shadows. Plus, as of the seventh episode, noses have become shorter and slightly less curved too.
* While we're on the topic of style changes, the first three episodes all had the previous style before changing to more current ones originally. For the first episode it was the pre-2012 style, the second episode had the 2013 style (although arms and hands were there the whole time now and mouth flaps disappeared) and first episode backgrounds, and the third episode had arms appearing the whole time before being made occasional.
