Synopsis: 【BJ Paradise】 is a short animated series aimed at a 25 to 45-year-old male audience. The main themes involve satire of current affairs, dirty jokes, and fantasies about life in general, and are portrayed primarily through a style of cold, dark humor. Witty, dark humor and consistent scene design are the primary goals of BJ Paradise. Two middle-aged men, Ben and Jack, are always sitting in the same bar chatting about all manner of topics such as politics, exercise, and even sex, essentially covering anything and everything that middle-aged men talk about. It can be considered an adult animation closely mirroring real life, while quickly reacting to newsworthy events and topics in daily life via dialogue between the two main characters, and using them as a channel for alternative commentary on society in general.
