One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes

"One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" is a Chinese original comic series serialized on the YouYaoQi website. The comic is known for its parodies of classic Chinese animations, comics, and other cultural works, such as "Prince Nezha's Triumph Against Dragon King", "Calabash Brothers", "Detective Conan", "Ultraman", "Pinocchio" and "Snow White". The story chapters are loosely connected, but subtle clues exist between them. The comic's dialogue is humorous and witty, heavily using internet slang and elements from Japanese anime and manga, making it popular among Chinese internet users. The comic was later adapted into an animation by the original author and YouYaoQi, considered a milestone for the Chinese animation industry. The animation was released at a rate of one episode per month, but it has temporarily ended. In 2014, a film version of "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" was released, directed by Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie. It is an animated fantasy comedy film released on December 31st. The film grossed CN¥119.8 million at the Chinese box office. Subsequently, the series released a second film, "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes II", on August 18, 2017. The series also includes a 3-episode animated chapter titled "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes: Planet Chuanchuan Chapter", which revolves around the Chuanchuan people's defense against a zombie invasion.
