I once had a short role in a web series called “The Studio.” It was created by a small group of guys who call themselves BanJJ Media. So far, there are two seasons, and a third one may be on the way. Will Season 3 produce the best gifs?
I reviewed Season 1, which you can read here!
You can find all the 200+ gifs by going to my Tenor page.

Creating The Best Gifs
I already pay for Adobe Creative Cloud, so I used that. It’s a bit much for creating gifs, but if there is one thing I hate, it’s being limited to what I can do due (heh) to cheap software.
First, I made the sequence square with a 15 fps frame rate and a resolution of 275×275. Square because they say that’s what works best for social media and 15fps and that low resolution to help keep the frame rate small.
You have to be careful when exporting the individual gifs, though. Most likely, the frame rate of the video you are using is much higher than 15. I ended up cutting a frame or two off the ends of the in/out markers just to be safe. If you like treasure hunts, one of the gifs I made has a caption flash, and one has a frame flash
Keeping the gifs under 3MB took a little trial and error. I use Google Messages on my Samsung S9+, which unfortunately can only send image files in full quality if the image is under 3MB.
I would change the dimensions and frame rates often, though. Once you do a handful, you’ll learn what you like the best for certain gifs. I found that there is no one universal formula to make the best gifs.
The Best Gifs
Here, in no particular order, are some of my favorite gifs from The Studio:
Creepy Man Eating Candy and Licking Lips
How can you not love this man? He has a love for petite little Asians. As long as there was consenuality (that’s a word I made up) with the Asian boys, there’s nothing wrong with that!
What Are All You Pervs Up to?
I haven’t had the chance to use this one yet, but it’s going to be great trolling material on Twitter! One of the best gifs for sure!
The Only Way to Kill the Pain Is to…Break the D
Handsome Filipe is right here. “Breaking the D” is a great way to kill any pain. I did a quick search on Google for “Breaking the D.” I don’t know if this phrase is mainstream at all. However, this gif should be able to make it mainstream!
Looping Cunnilingus
Oh man. Can you imagine the amount of damage you can do with this gif? It might get you in trouble with some websites’ guidelines, so be careful!
“Oh S**t!” with a Vertigo Effect
The versatility and surprise factor of this gif is great. In this scene, Angel is about to get drop kicked by Lexi, and here he realizes he’s in trouble!
Blah Blah Blah!
I like Lexi, and I don’t even think she rambles a lot. When I was creating the gifs, I would have the sound off most of the time because gifs are purely visual. I’ve seen the shows multiple times, so I already had an idea what they were saying.
When this segment with Lexi popped up, I swear I’ve seen something extremely similar to this gif somewhere! So, I just created it! Can you imagine how upset you could make feminists with this? Lol!
“But Abby! I Love You!” The Best Gifs
Honestly, I don’t know how this gif could become viral. All I know is when I saw this on the show, I laughed out loud literally. The reason that Abby gives as to why she is breaking up with Nathan Gamma and his response probably doesn’t make this one of the best gifs, but I’m here all day for it!
Clown Shoes
When I was in the Army, I learned the phrase “Clown Shoes,” meaning that something just isn’t right. For whatever reason, Handsome Filipe in this gif trying to fit in with the Cyber Goth girls looks like the definition of Clown Shoes to me!
The actual phrase from the Army is “Mother F****g Clown Shoes!” so have fun with that if you want!
POOR NATHAN GAMMA!
Drat! Hopeless Romantic Nathan Gamma always gets himself in vulnerable situations. From horny, old carpenters to perfect women to cyber goths, Nathan is trying everything he can to find love.
This gif would be great to use if you see someone out of his or her element!
Man Hears Something Interesting
If “The Best Gif” goes to the gif that gets the most uses, this is the winner!
I use this gif so much, it’s probably illegal. Hopefully now that it is on Tenor, you’ll see it!
Why Did I Use Tenor for The Best Gifs?
Simple. Google bought Tenor in 2018. I have Google’s Site Kit hooked up to my website, and Google is still the widest used search platform on the planet! Hopefully I made the right decision!
You have three options on how to share the gifs – Standard Definition, High Definition, and MP4. The MP4 option sold me because now you need that video file sometimes for certain apps or sites, like dumbass Facebook.
You can also add your own captions and save the gif!
One setback is the quality is reduced slightly in the uploaded gifts. I see little artifacts in some gifs, where the gif seems to be very bright white. You can really see the difference when you go from SD to MP4, though, so use accordingly!
It also looks like Tenor scaled the resolution up by almost 2x for whatever reason. It could be what lead to the artifacts. I’m not going to complain about that because Tenor is free.
If you didn’t see the links at the beginning, you can see all 200+ gifs from “The Studio” here!
Shows In the Style of “The Studio”
Parks and Rec is the only one included with Amazon Prime. Trailer Park Boys and The Office you can find on other streaming platforms, but I put the Amazon links in case you’re one of those people who loves to have all their viewing on a single platform!
Other Sitcoms I Love
Sad day. The first 7 seasons of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” use to be on Amazon Prime 🙁 However, you can catch all 10 seasons if you have an HBO subscription on Amazon or on HBO!
If you have a TV streaming service like Sling or YouTube TV, you can record a lot of sitcoms, like “Always Sunny” and “South Park,” that are on syndication. I believe both are currently streaming on Hulu as well.
*Side note* – I put Season 19 of South Park in the link above because it features the first appearance of PC Principal. If you buy the season, it’s $24.99, but if you buy the season on DVD, it’s $9.99.
