While watching Ninja Warrior I came across this show, "Code Monkeys," which utilized the 8-bit style graphics for its show, a visual quality that hearkens back to the artistic style of older video games. The show itself is a visual remix of the gaming community through which their jokes are made and stories told.
This comes from the creators of Crank Yankers and Minoriteam, two shows which I have not seen.
I can't say that I really like the show (or what I've seen of it), and while it may not be quite as fascinating as Red vs Blue, which actually used the Halo game to make its episodes, it is still an interesting choice in animation; the site also has pages for comments, downloadable content, live chat, and more for fans, bringing new levels of depth to the show's community

I've seen code Monkey a few times, its kind of a hit and miss comedy. Although, the theme song for the show is under Creative Commons license and inspired a few interesting viral videos worth checking out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Wy7gRGgeA
