The Misadventures of Onipex and Pals was a stop-motion comedy series created by Ids5621. It was initially created as a comedic side series to All Stars, to be released more frequently and to keep input coming into the channel. It revolves around the Matoran Onipex and his annoying friend, Jevik.

It outlived All Stars, due to its cancellation, and was Ids5621's primary series.^[1]

Release Info

The series had no regular release pattern until Brain Fart. However, the "Brain Fart" regime did not last due to scheduling problems and the episodes have reattained their erratic releases. Each season is very short consisting of only 10 episodes. A second season was confirmed and started on August 30, 2011.

After the release of Frank the series was put on hold, first for the production of a school project and then, till late May 2012, due to Ids5621's real life schedule. The series returned with The Camera Pt 1. The series was put on hiatus for the production of Jevik? Pt 3, with only two episodes being released in 2015 and one non-canon one in 2016. Eventually, Jevik? Pt 3 was cancelled and released as multiple clips instead. The clips, as well as the show, concluded on January 28, 2017.

Critical Response

The series received a generally favorable response, with no real negative views. It was most applauded for the animation style and the extensive use of detailed set dioramas. The humor was mildly criticized due to its crudeness at times, and the drug use in Higher was looked down upon by some. The series charted number four on Sixshotreviews2's "Best BIONICLE YouTube Series" list. The highest rated episode, going off YouTube's old rating system, was Rap, placing it on par with the third episode of All Stars at the time. It was followed by Episode 1 and Rahi.

Trivia

Preview was initially created as a stand alone video.
- Preview was also initially uploaded as The Misguided Adventures of Onipex and Pals, but the title was changed shortly after.
- Preview is Ids5621's favorite episode.
In Episode 1 and Rap, Jevik is watching Ids5621's previous YouTube series, All Stars.
Aside from Preview, Rap, Intruder and Replacement, most first season episodes have begun with a standard black background title accompanied by a scream. In "Rap", the scream is replaced by the snoring of Onipex, in Intruder with music and in Replacement with a cough.
In the second season, the standard black background and scream in the episode intros are replaced with the new title cards and an intro theme. Some Misadventures feature title cards, but not the full intro theme.
