C&C is an animated sitcom about a gang of friends who reunite after spending a few years away from each other. Baz, the Nerdy, Geeky, is a dentist who ends up marrying the daughter of a former wrestler. Ben, the loud mouthed Italian playboy wannabee, whose clever ideas always lead them to disasters. Bill, the fast talking entrepreneurial black guy, whose wealthy Dad isn’t willing to give him a cent, so he must earn it the hard and honest way. Bob, the Scottish dude who fled Scotland hurt by his girlfriend falling in love with an Australian annoying bloke.
There's nothing spectacular about our friends, nothing warm and tingly, but perhaps they are a little endearing because of their endless stupidity. They represent a world where people know more about Paris Hilton than 'that dude who went to prison for being black'. They are self-absorbed, fashion, celebrity and media obsessed, and know more about music than math.
We follow our gang through each episode as they wile away more time with ridiculous pursuits through surreal storytelling and bright storyboarding, using a mixture of current and past cultural references making C&C a humoristic comedy.
