Doodled Naughty Narratives

Story Time with MaximusBlack Recounts Epic Life Tales

— November 19, 2011 — Pop Culture
Don’t let the simplistic drawings of these Story Time with MaximusBlack videos fool you into thinking the tales told in these YouTube productions are of no substance. I’ve done and witnessed some pretty crazy things in my time, but I’ve yet to sit through an episode of these often raunchy, yet humorous videos without my jaw dropping to the ground during the final minutes of each narrative. They’re literally that shocking and unexpected, and to top it all off, they’re all real.

Story Time with MaximusBlack is a series hosted and drawn by the naturally comedic Jeff of LAGTV fame. Fans of his StarCraft 2 commentaries are aware that Jeff often inserts outrageous anecdotes into his gaming insight, but with Story Time with MaximusBlack, viewers get only the crazy tales unimpeded by game replay footage. For added hilarity, Jeff also plays epic music whenever his stories are about to climax.
