Animated works featuring a Stick-Figure Comic aesthetic, most of which are done strictly for comedic purposes.

They have a cult following, especially within the Flash community. It's worth noting that during the early 2000s, this style of animation became quite common. Due to the general lack of detail on stick figures, this makes this style incredibly easy to animate for even those with the most rudimentary animation skill. There are also several websites dedicated to hosting and/or creating animation in this style, such as Hyun's Dojo^note The largest major stick figure animation site with an active community, StickPage, and the now-defunct FluidAnims.
