The Brilliant Genius of The Big Lez Show
This is my video explaining why The Big Lez Show was one of YouTube’s most imaginative animated series ever released. Although it came out before YouTube became the giant platform it is today, it still managed to gather a large following at its inception.
But why was this case?
On the surface, The Big Lez Show looks like something you could easily overlook as nothing more than a show that includes childlike absurdity and bizarre misadventures. Even its basic Microsoft Paint animation style reinforces this idea that it’s too simple and probably not worth your time.
But the show has more substance below the surface than you might think.

What is The Big Lez Show?
The Big Lez Show is an Australian comedy web series created by Jarrad Wright. The show originally premiered on YouTube on 16 July 2012 and concluded on 26 January 2019.
The show's protagonist is Big Lez, a humanoid alien living in the fictional town of Brown Town, Australia. The show follows the adventures of Lez, his friends and nemeses.
Big Lez is a humanoid alien who was banished from his home world, the fictional planet of Kingdom Cum. Lez lives in Brown Town with his adoptive son Quinton and across the street from his brother Norton. Next door to Lez lives his friends Sassy and Donny, who are often the main instigators of their various misadventures. The show's content varies from drawing humour in mundane day-to-day activities between Lez and his friends to large, grand adventures where they take on the show's antagonists, the Choomahs.
Initially uploaded on YouTube, the show quickly gained great popularity and developed a cult following. The premiere of season 4 reached 1 million views within 2 months of being uploaded and the show became such a success that a five episode spin-off series entitled The Mike Nolan Show was commissioned by Comedy Central Australia. The show was produced by the same people in the same manner as the original series and premiered on 10 June 2016.
The show has enjoyed vast popularity in its later years, with viewership soaring during season 3's release. As of July 2020, The Big Lez Show YouTube channel has over 129 million views, with each episode averaging 1-2 million views.
