Bonus Stage (abbreviated BS) was an animated Flash action/adventure/comedy series filled with surreal humor, sarcasm, and pop culture references. The cartoon was focused on Joel Dawson, action scientist, and his roommate Phil Argus, a normal person with superpowers who is mostly frustrated and serious. There's Elly Strife, who has a crush on Joel that goes unrequited, aside from Phil's crush on her. Rya Botkins is a robot created by Joel to be Phil's girlfriend; she is a Deadpan Snarker who verbally (and literally) rips people (mostly Phil) apart, and is not really Phil's girlfriend. All this started with High Score, the original show before Bonus Stage, which got started as an attempt to compete with Homestar Runner. The cartoon only lasted 4 episodes and was canceled due to lack of interest from the creator.
