The Candy Walrus Show is a video series on YouTube originated in Dahlonega, GA. created by Brandon Helton, Josh DeMello, Braden Barrentine, and Tristan Wright. The show was started after these four high school freshman made numerous inside jokes that they thought it would be interesting to put it all together into a video series. As of March 2010, the show only has one subseries, What The Fudge? (commonly just referred to as WTF?), but is in the works on several new shows and specials and is in progress of making an animated series, too.

The Beginning
Brandon, Josh, Braden, and Tristan were (still are) friends as freshmen in high school. They amused each other my making numerous inside jokes of all sorts of things, including one of a candy walrus. Why a candy walrus? Because that is what Brandon received in his stocking for Christmas one year and then the jokes started to really roll in. They had jokes for just about anything. Some dirtier than others. Before the actual "candy walrus" jokes came around, Brandon and Josh would make random jokes over random things while they were in health class. They would turn an event that occurred to them into a joke and then write down. As they went along, the list started to like a script. Thats basically when the idea to turn their jokes into something more turned into a dream. They came up with more ideas and then created a Facebook page to try and get the show more publicity before they started to make more material. The page didn't really attract much attention as it lacks even 25 fans, but that did not make them lose hope. While they would come up jokes, Braden and Josh would make separate videos for Braden's YouTube channel [www.youtube.com/nuclearpizzaguyz]. They would take turns going to each others' house and used their younger sibling's toys as props to make extremely weird videos. That is when they got their first idea for a show for The Candy Walrus Show. They named it "What The Fudge?" (also referred to WTF? (not the swearing term) for short). The point of the show was to make people laugh and to basically make them say "WTF?" What The Fudge? has ordered 30 episodes for a season 1, as they hope to gain exposure and with hope, become a YouTube Partner and a future video success and to create even more and better episodes.

Shows
As this is a show in itself, Josh thought it might be better to separate the show into smaller "sub-series" to get better results, than cramming it into one video due to YouTube restrictions of time length on videos. So they decided to split them up, creating different series of videos as they had their own television network. Some shows had all four guys and some didn't. One series that The Candy Walrus Show has said to be coming soon is "The Random Lunch," a show of all four creators and others at their lunch table and their adventures at lunch and the horrible things they are served to eat. The show has been put on hold due to Tristan no longer has the same lunch track, but may be decided to into production without him. Also about to be put into production is "101 Ways To Kill Kelso" a series about a good friend, Kelso Little, and 101 unique ways for him to die. The idea came about after he participated in Brandon and Josh's health project about the effects of LSD. Kelso was the victim as he ended up jumping off a ledge and falling to his "death" as some people really do when they use LSD. The project was greatly accepted among their peers and they wanted to see more videos like that, so the group of friends have decided to make a series by popular demand.
