Joseph's World

Cartoon World of the show's creator.

***Joseph's World*** is an American animated slapstick comedy, known as the first show to air on JTS on September 18, 2023. It was created by a man named Joseph Arrington, with the first episode, known as the pilot, being made in the same year that the show was released, and the show got its second and actual episode of the show known as Streptococcus. Since the start of Christmas, Joseph's World has had its own Christmas special.

The show was originally made in 2018, but due to a lack of motivation, it ended up being canceled. In the original show, it featured Joseph (the main character), Zach (the second character), and Gary (the third character, now the series' antagonist in the reboot). But as in the reboot, the two first characters are present, but Gary has been replaced with Shellin, a snail like Gary.

## History/Production

On the days of April 16 and 17 of 2018, Joseph Arrington (also known as Joseph the Snail and formerly as Joseph the Snail Show) started animating, and three really short videos made in FlipaClip with the titles being in terrible and bad grammar (judging by how he was extremely young at the time) were made, the first being called "Where is Gary?", "Joseph the Snail Show Play Filpacilp", and finally, "Joseph's Adventure".

Joseph's Adventure ended up being changed to Joseph's World, and later on in the same year, classic episodes ended up being released, such as Playground Trouble, The Night of the Living Snail, and New Friend Coming Over. The last episode that introduced the robotic version of Joseph, the series' protagonist, was Robot Joseph.

The said episodes were also remade and posted to a channel called Joseph's World Official on February 8, 2019; however, unfortunately, the channel eventually ended after the episode "Broken Dealership" was released in 2020.

Luckily, after the cancellation of Joseph's World, the videos on Joseph's World Official were private and not deleted, and ever since the release of the JTS channel, it was stated in a post that Joseph's World will be returning, and the original Joseph's World has been starting to get posted for historical interest, followed by the pilot of Joseph's World being released.

## Intro/Theme Song

This is the theme song of Joseph's World; this theme plays in every single episode; however, there's really nothing special, no lyrics at all. At the beginning, it always shows the JTS intro and the actual show's intro.

The intro starts off with the faces of the main characters in this order: Zach, Joseph, and Shellin, until it finally cuts to the episode title; however, the one without the title of the episode is just a simple template; it also stays on the title for a minute until fading to the last screen. The last part of the intro says as follows:

***DIRECTED BY***

***JOSEPH ARRINGTON***

***JTS***

***STORY AND SCREENPLAY***

***JOSEPH ARRINGTON***

***STARRING***

***JOSEPH (JOSEPH ARRINGTON)***

***ZACH (ZACH ARRINGTON)***

***SHELLIN (JOSEPH ARRINGTON)***

## Setting

The show takes place in Colorado, though the creator doesn't live in Colorado, and it's not the show's creator idea. The co-creator of ***Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear's***, Saturn (also known as Saturn3034), gave the idea of it taking place in Colorado, but the creator of Joseph's World and founder of JTS decided to make it take place in Colorado, so every media will take place in Colorado.

Every episode takes place in the Arrington household, mostly in the living room, the first room showcased in the pilot, and other generic rooms you normally see in a house, but unlike most backgrounds in shows, the backgrounds in this show contain interesting Easter eggs. Famous examples are the clock from ***Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared*** making an appearance on the wall on the left, the portrait of Joseph and Zach's older counterpart, and the broken piece of the ladder of the playground in Playground Trouble.

## Characters

**Joseph** - The main and titular protagonist of the show, is shown with a yellow shirt with the letter J on the front; he also wears glasses; and just like his brother, he has a hair style that's pointing up and there's two points on the back. His personality is shown as being bossy, and he's constantly poking the eyes of his friends for a comedic effect (this is the only antagonist-related behavior he's shown in the show). Usually, he's shown to be stupid for a comedic effect; just like his brother again, he's also shown with dark blue pants and black shoes.

He's named after his voice actor.

**Zach** - He's the secondary and main protagonist of the show; he's the brother of Joseph, and just like a sibling would do, he's the one who gets his eyes poked and beaten up even when he's doing nothing. He shares the same character features as his brother but has no glasses; he's shown with a red shirt with the letter Z; and he has anxiety.

He's also voiced by Joseph's brother, who's also the show's writer.

**Shellin** - Shellin is the third protagonist and is an anthropomorphic snail; he has a gray body and dark gray shell; he also has a hard-to-understand voice. This is due to the fact that his voice is a parody of Jeff Boomhauer's voice from King of the Hill; he's the replacement of Gary in the show; and he is the household pet. Joseph is also shown to be annoyed at his voice; he's also voiced by the same voice actor as Joseph.

**Gary** - Gary is the original third protagonist in the original version of the show, now turned into the series' antagonist due to abandonment by the main two (Joseph and Zach), Gary and Robot Joseph (aside from Joseph and Zach), to still be in the show. Evil Joseph is the only one not in the show anymore.

Gary is very identical to Shellin; they have the same body color, but instead, Gary's shell is the same color as his body. Gary made a cameo in Streptococcus when Shellin brought him up when Joseph yelled at him and started rambling about his shell.

**Bobert** - Bobert is an overweight man who delivers pizzas and is a supporting character; he's often seen with a green shirt, his pants are a darker blue, and he has black shoes. He's also shown with a bloody nose on some occasions, but this is for gross-out purposes; his voice is also incredibly sloppy, and you could barely hear a single word he says. He's occasionally shown with a shopping cart as well.

He's also voiced by the same voice actor as Zach.

**Robot Joseph** - Much like Gary, Robot Joseph is another old character returning (also a secondary supporting character), and he's the same as his normal counterpart; however, he's made to look like a robot, and he's also a huge fan of oil, just like how his other counterpart is with Root Beer.

He's shown with a missing right eye and wires coming out, and his left arm is a regular robotic grabber. His right leg is replaced with a wheel, and his design is inspired by the animatronics you see in Five Nights at Freddy's.

## Trivia

* According to this post, *Joseph's Schoolday* is the only lost episode of Joseph's World, and it was supposed to be made instead of Streptococcus, but the idea of it was too sad, dark, and disturbing as the show is aimed at everybody, mostly 13 and above. The episode had no comedy, silent and unsettling scenes, and other content that wouldn't fit the show.
	+ The episode was posted secretly to trusted people, and it's on YouTube, but instead, it's unlisted. The episode was originally going to be a dark PSA or vent, but if it ended up as a PSA, teachers weren't going to listen anyway, so it was never aired.

* The show itself was inspired by Eddsworld, as it shares a similar title, Joseph's World and Eddsworld. While this still applies, the four original main characters were made to be like copycats to the ones shown in Eddsworld, with Joseph being Edd, Zach being Tom (as he was originally the grumpy one), and Gary being Matt. Evil Joseph was also originally made to be like Tord.
* The main setting in Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear's 2 is a reference to this show.
