Information About

Meatboy




His appearance and construction is that of a talking processed meat product. With inked eyes and a Frankfurter nose, he talks to the camera in a Falsetto voice oblivious to the large dog in the background. The dog eventually finds Meatboy, devours him, whilst Meatboy dramatically screams and 'dies'. The entire scene lasts no longer than 30 seconds.

The sketch in which Meatboy appears contains Slapstick , Comic Tragedy , Parody and Dadaesque elements. It is this rich amalgam of comic props that typifies Shaun Micallef's comedic style.
