Alfred Alfer is a mentally unstable cartoon dog created
by a talented woman named Emily Rose Youcis, otherwise known as “one badass
bitch” according to the official Alfred Alfer film trailer [16]. Throughout the
years of Newgrounds and YouTube, he has been known to:
- Hang around at his playhouse
[10] [11] [12].
- Have frequent sexual
encounters [19] [20].
- Prefer tacos over hamburgers
[19] [20].
- Spoof the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ [16].
- Occasionally wear feminine
clothing [9] [21].
- Plug himself into the internet
as if he was part of a crazy experiment [16].
Since 2018 is a year of the dog, the crazy canine who
made unconditional love to the dead and was taken to a heavenly nebula by
Donald Trump might as well receive a little shout-out as we take a look at the
brief history of his legacy and what made him gain a cult following across the
internet [16] [22].

In October 2005, a few cartoon dogs starred in a
whacky music video on Newgrounds [17]. Two of the dogs in their own Christmas
cartoon back in the day were officially named “Alfred Alfer” and “Fatdog” [7]. In
the mid-2010s, the art style for Youcis’ animations has gradually improved with
remarkable shading and lighting, along with the outlines being much smoother [13]
[14] [16] [18] [22]. The animation has also evolved as it became more fluid,
compared to the occasional choppiness in the earlier Alfred Alfer cartoons. Despite
the audio of the Alfred cartoons from the mid-2010s having better quality than
the audio of the earlier Alfred cartoons, an example of highly unpleasant audio
would be the time when Alfred has a drink to try and get over his loneliness,
then refrains from committing suicide as he notices a ghastly, yet provocative
stripper in Dead Girl Strip Club [14]. However, the disturbing unpleasantness
of the audio suits the terrifying nature of the strip club. Alfred’s
whereabouts after the final moments of The Ascent of Alfred are currently
unknown. Perhaps he is still taking a break after the sensations of being
attached to a computer like a hard drive [22].

We have seen Alfred within a lot of bizarre imagery
and crude content that make South Park look like the cartoons based on Strawberry
Shortcake. It is assuming how even a woman giving birth stops and roots for
Alfer’s freedom in Alfred Gets Fixed [8], but the later videos of him on
Youcis’ Newgrounds page take adult content to a whole new level of vulgarity.
Examples of the obscene insanity include:
- Alfred disrespecting an elderly woman’s funeral by having sex with her corpse [15] [16].
- A nutty orgy that occurs all
over Alfred’s body…twice [11] [18].
- Alfred gleefully cutting
himself while he sings “I Remember You” [22].
- Background characters doing a...certain
salute that should not be done in real life for a reason [18] [19] [20].
- The grim reaper gaining
personal gratification at the ghastly strip club [14].
- The fatality of Mr. Pickles
from his own cartoon that aired on Adult Swim [1] [13].
Aside from the whacky and explicit content, it would
be highly recommended to tell computer users and adult animation fans with
photosensitive epilepsy to only watch parts of each cartoon that do not contain
flashing colours and lighting effects [14] [22]. It is quite empowering how a
good-looking young woman like Emily Youcis has animated such vile and grotesque
content in disturbing settings, despite some unfortunate and heart-breaking exposure [5] [23].

Youcis stated that he has Dissociative Identity Disorder,
also known as Multiple Personality Disorder in the description of Rise
of Alfred back in late 2007 [19]. An example of his diagnosis could be how a version
of himself in a sophisticated dictator uniform would tell him how he cannot
handle reality [19] [20]. The version of Alfred in the uniform is known as “Dictator
Alfred” and he tends to be a confronting towards him at times [9] [19] [20], possibly
representing how the mentally fragile hound might have developed some thoughts
of self-discipline from his loneliness. Another sign of Alfer’s multiple
personality disorder could be how he switches from a lonely mongrel who almost
shot himself in the head to a menacing necrophile who especially loves the cold
corpses in G.G. Alfred [15]. Some “responsible” parents Alfred’s mother and
father turned out to be during his puppy years. It is no wonder Alfred is
mentally unwell and prone to shock value, which is quite a shame, considering
how he seemed quite rational and sane in his Christmas special with his old
ally Fatdog before Youcis expanded on his character development [7].

A bigger shame is how Labby from the infamous animated
short compilation, Where The Dead Go To Die ditches Alfred by leading him to “a
big surprise” and leaving him all alone in a cornfield in his gaudy car [9]. Alfred’s
heartbreak from being abandoned by his special friend is at least a legitimate
reason for the audience to somehow support him, in spite of how he may have
been too clingy and needy towards Labby [9]. The way Labby, even as a possible hallucination
in Return To The Playhouse treats Alfred rather poorly seems to get worse when
he orders him to take the body he took with him to the basement and threatens
him with an ice lolly [18]. After all, Labby is the same mutt who did a
terrible job at being “God’s Messenger” in Tainted Milk [2] [3]. Speaking of
Where The Dead Go To Die, did you know that Alfred even made a small cameo in The
Masks That The Monsters Wear, performing a speech for a public service announcement
on TV [2] [3]?

Alfred may have had a terrible past, but at least he
can sing [13] [21]. Even though Youcis’ natural voice is too feminine for
Alfred, who is a male dog, her ability to sing is absolutely undeniable [4] [6] [21].
Youcis’ talent in singing, which has evolved from the introduction of the
Alfred’s Playhouse trilogy is an even better reason to somewhat root for her sweet
Alfred [6] [10]. She even sang amazingly with “The Spelunker” during an
interview on Scrapple TV back in Summer 2015 [6]. If Alfred ought to have a new
male voice actor, there would be hope that the voice actor would be able to
sing as wonderfully as Youcis can. Nevertheless, those who are both gifted in
animating AND singing are quite a rarity in this world. Youcis’ moment of
singing her heart out as the “pistachios girl” in late 2016 was another
crowning moment of her (tarnished) glory [4]. Regardless of how Youcis seems to no longer be
a peanut vendour [4] [5], perhaps Alfer could become a pistachios pooch who
would serenade a bunch of corpses in the seats of a baseball stadium? Does
anyone else remember lyrics of the song about worshipping Alfred that he
himself persuaded us to sing back in 2007 [19]?

In conclusion, we are wondering and yet to find out what
Alfred Alfer could be up to in the future of Youcis’ ambitions in her own animations.
Even though Youcis lost a fraction of respect due to questionable views on
Twitter in late 2016 [5], it might be best to not confront her about them this year as we must not EVER stoop as low as to send her death threats.
We could still at least appreciate the diligence and dedication she put into the
legacy of her crazy canine, along with her ability to sing [4] [6] [21]. As
content creators remain proactive and set up new standards to evolve even
further, she could still maintain a lot of respect for creating some of the
edgiest and most revolting animations on the internet. So what will be next for
Alfred Alfer in the future? Could Alfred have an official love interest after
his departure from Labby? Could he suddenly have an offspring? It will be all
up to Youcis once we hear about her getting back into animating her crazy
canine for good old time’s sake. But for now, the best we can do is kiss
Alfred’s wounds when he gets hurt and give him lollipops when he starts to bawl
[19] [20]. But please! Do NOT be racist [23]!
