2 in the AM PM (2006)
Two store clerks slacking off at work (at a gas station) on Halloween go on an acid trip. Created by J.G. Quintel the characters were the basis for Mordacai and Benson on the Regular Show. The taller clerk, voiced by Quintel, introduces to the shorter clerk, voiced by Sam Marin, what he describes as a piece of "candy", to which later is learned to be laced with LSD. The characters then go on an acid trip, seeing each other morph into characters and objects. Sam's character is paranoid because he has not had acid before, and they attempt to figure out a plan as to how to "sober themselves up" before they are noticed by work personnel or police enforcement attention.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good concept, poorly executed.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
This short film created by J.G. Quintel and Sam Martin is extremely entertaining and hilarious. Many memorable quotes that can be recited in conversation because of how funny they are. Eve with the basic animation the voicing is so good I must give 10/10. If you I'd give it lower... "Well, you thought wrong!"
His work on regular show made me want to check this out and I was not disappointed. This is one of the most humorous things I have ever seen. With so many witty and quotable lines and amazing voicework J.G. Really knocked it out of the park with this short. Do yourself a favor and take 7 minutes at any time of day and watch it.
"2 in the AM PM" is an American 7.5-minute animated short film from 2006, so this one had its 10th anniversary last year already. Writer and director is Emmy winner J.G. Quintel (also one of the voice actors) and this is one of his early career efforts. It is basically the story of two gas station employees and what happens when they go on drug-induced hallucinations and don't see things exactly the way they are for the rest of the night. Nothing memorable or relevant for sure, just a bit of stoner comedy I guess. But these films must exist too. It's not a complete failure and there are maybe 1-2 mildly funny moments overall, but there are much more moments where the comedy is not working in this black-and-white film. I was tempted to give it an even lower rating, especially as the film goes out with a stupid fart sound joke, but I'll be generous here. Still obviously it's a thumbs-down and I don't recommend seeing it.
2 in the AM PM is an amusing short done by J.G. Quintel, the creator of the brilliant cartoon series "Regular Show". In this short, like in "The Naive man from Lolliland" we can appreciate some of the early concepts that eventually will appear in "Regular Show", mostly in what is concerned to the characters and the style of the humor. (Though it must be said that, unlike "Regular Show", this short is not for kids, and contains lots of adult humor) Even when the animation is far too simple (Basically, it seems like an animated storyboard) the story is quite funny and the surreal gags are pretty effective, having all the clever elements that eventually became one of the main characteristics from "Regular Show".I recommend seeing it along with "The Naive Man from Lolliland", specially to all those who are "Regular Show" fans.
