It was three years ago when Fred Seibert, a former president of legendary animation studio Hanna-Barbera, discovered Dan Meth. At the time, the cartoonist was producing ads for companies as varied as Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Jonny Glow, a manufacturer of toilet-illuminating stickers that glow in the dark. Though he was working for commercial clients, Meth hadn't gone unnoticed in the creative world, and in 2006 the industry heavyweight hired Meth to work at his Frederator Studios animation company. With Seibert’s backing, the animator launched what would become two of the internet’s most popular web series: The Meth Minute, a Streamy Award-winning mashup of pop culture and music, and Nite Fite, a news debate show spoof.
The inaugural episode of The Meth Minute, an animated musical tribute to the web's most notorious stars, received over three million views on YouTube alone, about as much attention as the dances and memes it parodied could ever hope for. With Meth’s baptism by pageview a virulent success, his series has continued through today.
