[edit] History
[edit] Starting of Mule School
The show Mule School was created by Ed Peterson because "if I have this program but I don't make videos for the public what is the use of Macromedia?" This started because Ed thought that there weren't enough High School animated shows. He decided that if nobody was going to make any animated shows then he would have to do it himself.
[edit] Updates
[edit] Music
The first couple episodes of Mule School have all been silent episodes that don't even have music on them. It is obvious that Ed was new to the software when he made his first couple Mule School episodes. Now he says that there is going to be a theme song at the beginning of the show and a different one at the end, the only problem is that he can't find a good enough song. [1] The one episode that does have music is Mule School: Special episode, this episode has music by 50 cent called "High all the time"
[edit] Voice Acting
So far there is no voice acting on this show. The show desprately needs some sound if it wants to continue running but so far Ed has done nothing in his power to do so[2] . Even though he has no plans right now for the voice acting for Mule School, he says that he does have some people in mind for some of the characters.
[edit] Animation
The animation of Mule School isn't really the best animation around and when Ed got asked why it's like this he said "Well, I'm not really good at animation but the story is more important then the animation anyway" So who knows if the animation is going to get better Ed's more focused on the story.
[edit] Characters[3] [4].
[edit] Main Characters, the Students
1. Ed - this is obviously a representation of Ed Peterson. Not only is he the main character, but he is also the most like about character in the show. The only flaw with this character is that he can sometimes be too rational.
2. Wang Chung - this is Ed's best friend. He is of Asian decent which makes him the target of bullies.
3. Emo Joe - this is the all-out emo kid at Mule School. This guy is truly emo because he hates his life (but he actually has a good reason to) and he likes pain. This character also got introduced later in the show.
4. Bob - this is a newer character of Mule School. This is another friend of Ed's but he is only in two of Ed's classes, Science and History.
5. Paco - A character who is one of Ed's friends but is only seen at lunch eating a taco. The taco represents that Paco was (or is) truly a Mexican before he came to the US. He gets picked on by Wally and Wally always takes Paco's taco.
[edit] Main Characters, the Teachers
1. Ed Gibblets - this is Ed's first period teacher. He is the Sex Ed. teacher and he goes over the top to teach the kids about sex (even showing some adult videos). The last name of this teacher is another name for the word genitals.
2. Dave Ticker - this is the Math teacher, and Ed's third period teacher. He just wants everyone to be quiet and for some special days he gives them weed. Mr. Ticker doesn't really teach and the principal knows it but doesn't care.
3. Mr. Spanol - this is Ed's fourth period teacher, the Spanish teacher. His last name sounds like Espanol (Spanish for Spanish) except without the E. Later in the show you find out that Mr. Spanol is an illegal immigrant.
3. Chuck Mmumert - this is Ed's fifth period teacher, and the History teacher. This is a Nazi and because of this everyone hates him and tries to piss him off. In the Valentines Day episode Bob gets sent down to the principals office because he destroyed Mr. Mmumert's Nazi hat and the principal just tells Bob to ditch Mmumert's class, telling him "Don't worry nobody likes him" and then Bob says "Thanks, I hate that a__hole."
4. Mr. Lingo - this is the last teacher of the day for Ed and he is the English teacher. This is a very weird person and he loves to curse.
[edit] Minor Characters
1. Molly - The stupidest character at Mule School. In the episode Science is for Geeks Lee says that her mom is pragnent and she calls her dad to tell the news. Not knowing that it was a "your mom" joke.
2. Lee - This character is only seen in science class, and he is a pretty stupid character. The only things that he says are very bad jokes. His only friend is Weirdo Wally.
3. Weirdo Wally A.K.A. Other - The character who hates Paco, he is seen thoughout the show at random times, but he is always seen at lunch. When you see Wally at lunch he steals Paco's taco. He doesn't take care of himself and thus everyone hates him. He thinks that if everyone hates him he might just hate everyone. This character is often refured to as Other due to a mistake in the episode: The Lunch Hour.
4. The Principal - This character shows up randomly in some episodes but in Science is for Geeks he is a main character. This is a creepy, sexist, lazy principal who doesn't really care about anything.
5. Little Jimmy - This character was only seen in the Science is for Geeks episode. In this episode it is revealed that Little Jimmy is black, and that he wears profanity shirts. Ed says that in season 2 Little Jimmy will have a bigger role.
[edit] Episodes
[edit] Regular Season 1
1. The Bonus episode - this is the first episode of Mule School, and because it's not the short one it has all the comedy that it originally had. This episode shows what teachers Ed is going to have, but it doesn't show the English teacher because Ed decides to ditch school because he has had enough.
2. Sex Ed episode - Ed's first class with the preverted teacher.
3. Science is for Geeks - this is the Mule school episode that brings in some new minor characters named Lee, Wally, Molly, and the Principal.
4. Be Quiet - This episode is with Mr. Ticker. The coolest teacher who deson't care about anything. There's math on the board but the students don't do it they just mess around quietly because Mr. Ticker doesn't want them to be loud.
5. The Lunch Hour - This episode is the first episode with Paco, Other steals Paco's taco (the 4th main character, that always shows up with Paco) and in order to get the taco back Paco has to ask his other friends (Wang and Ed) to help get it back. Meanwhile Ed and Wang try to get 100 grand so that they can bribe the janator to let them bet on which seventh grader would get to lunch first.
6. Spring Breat episode part 1 - This episode is the longest episode of Mule School at 9 minutes and 55 seconds. This episode is about the last day before spring break, and every teacher has a special assignment for the class to do. 2 of the teachers (Gibblets and Spanol) show a movie similar to a Girls gone Wild movie but all the nudity is censerd. This episode also has a website called giggles, this is a parody of google but it's also an adult website.
7. Season Finale - This episode is the season finale of the first season (hence the name). This episode will have cameos of all the first season episodes.
[edit] Shorts
1. The Bonus episode - this is the first episode of Mule School, and since this is the short one it is only a minute, cutting out a lot of the comedy.
2 The Christmas episode - this is the Christmas special of Mule School, it is only a minute also and that means less comedy.
[edit] Specials
1. The Christmas episode - This is the Christmas special of Mule School, this is a two minute episode with a special Christmas opening (it shows a present falling and killing of of the stick figures and then Santa falls and lands on the other stick figure killing him instantly). Mr. Gibblets shows a porno movie to his class because it's almsot Christmas but there's no nudity (unlike the elf hooker that he brought in).
2. The Valentine's Day episode This is the Valentines day special of Mule School, it also has a special opening. This opening shows one of the stick figures as cupid shooting the other stick figure with arrows, when he shoots the other stick figure in the head hearts pop up and chop the shooter in half while the other stick figure dies from the head wound. Mr. Gibblets shows another movie in this episode called "Valentines Day 2: Love gets harder" and even though it's a porno movie it doesn't show any nudity. This episode is the longest Mule School episode at 4 minutes.
3. Mule School Special 1[5] This is the first Mule School episode that does not feature Ed as the main character; instead it features Mr. Ticker and his hippy friend as the main characters. This episode also has 2 parts, the first part is when the 2 main characters are high, and they see mythical beasts. The second part shows what really happened when the 2 characters were high, including a scene where Lep gets killed. This episode also features a song by 50 cent called "High all the time". This is the latest special episode.
[edit] Videos in Mule School
These videos are all made by Ed Peterson, the nudity is all censered and Mr. Gibblets is the only one to show these movies (except for 1 episode in which Mr. Spanol shows a movie too).
1. Dear Santa, I've Been Bad This is the first video ever shown in Mule School, and is shown on the Christmas Special episode. This movie has bad acting and Santa needs help to take off his pants.
2. Valentine's Day 2: Love Gets Harder This is the second video shown by Mr. Gibblets and is on the Valentine's Day special. This movie is about a guy who forgets to get his wife a present on Valentines Day so he decides to get a cheap hooker for her instead. There are many comidic store names like Shop a Lot, and Money Waster.
3. Call of Tits: Wild Spring Break This is the third video shown a Mule School and it is the only video shown by 2 teachers: Mr. Gibblets and Mr. Spanol, and Mr. Spanol shows this video in Spanish with English subtitles. This video has a reference to The Ring, saying "if you see this you'll die in 7 days just like in The Ring". When Mr. Spanol shows it the main character goes to a club and all the big porno movie stars take their tops off besides the one acteress, that looks like a whore, says no. This video is a parody of Girls Gone Wild.
4. The Holloweener This movie is actually not show at Mule School in the first season but Ed says that it will be shown in the second season, for a holloween episode. The only reference to this movie is in the Spring Break episode part 1, Mr. Gibblets apologizes to Ed about showing that movie because it doesn't have nudity.
