Joe co-stars with Mindy Kaling in a comedy short about black magic. A bullied kid crosses over to the dark side in a cartoon music video called “Wolf Blood.” Blind people describe what they see and animators animate it.
Joe and Anne Hathaway play douchey super heroes in a comedy short about their sidekicks. People with older siblings talk about being the second child. Pairs of musicians play a sweet song about couple-hood.
Joe sings and dances alongside Todrick Hall in a 50’s-style musical number about high school mob mentality. People talk about the pros and cons of going to college. Marching bands, choirs, and rappers do a song about the first day of school. And more!
Joe plays drums while his late brother, and co-founder of hitRECord, Burning Dan, spins fire. A little dragon can't breathe fire in a hand sewn cartoon fairytale. And a music video called “Ready Aim Fire” features 2,000 hand-painted frames of animation.
A U.S. Marine explains gun safety. People from all over the world talk about gun laws in their respective countries. Joe voices a cartoon about the origin of riding shotgun. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg write comedy shorts about men surgically installing guns in their dicks, starring David Krumholtz, Larry Miller, and Zac Efron.
An octopus mom makes the ultimate sacrifice in a claymation cartoon. Moms from all over the world talk about what it takes to be a good mother. Joe sings an R&B jam about being attracted not to boobies or booties, but rather to large vocabularies and other mothering skills. Rappers take on the age-old "yo mama" joke.
Joe co-stars with Ben Schwartz in three comedy shorts inspired by people's anonymously posted personal secrets. People talk about the difference between who they are in private versus who they pretend to be online. A young squirrel keeps her new human boyfriend a secret from her conservative squirrel family.
