Channel description[]

Old channel description:

My name is Alan Becker! Maybe you saw my "Animator vs. Animation" when it became a viral video in 2006. I make stick figure animations that take place on a computer desktop screen. There is no dialogue, but a lot of humor and emotion. Hope you enjoy!

Check out my other channels too! I teach how to animate, I run a Minecraft server, and I play games!

New channel description:

Red, Green, Yellow and Blue mine out the letters A, B, T and V respectively.

Red is enjoying an advertisement about vacuums on YouTube when Green skips it.
Yellow has made RGB lights to display "ABTV". He and Blue share a high-five.
The Second Coming has found a lever and switches it, causing the text "ABTV" to appear. The Second Coming gets blinded by the brightness.
