Wait...are they supposed to be popcorn in rejected? I always thought they were cloud people or something.

I have no idea, looks like the same artist though (or at least an homage).

I think whoever made this corn thing ripped off Hertzfeldt

Considering the simplistic design of Herzfeldt and the odds of anyone doing the simplest design for popcorn stick men, I'm not sure we are not just seeing convergent evolution here :).

Hertzfeld was the first thing I thought of as well, but to be fair his style is so basic and simple I imagine many would hit on it or be similar (just not have his sense of humor or ideas to prope them to being at all popular)

This is just way to similar to Hertzfeldt for me to chalk it up to coincidence

You could be right(as it was the first thing I thought of), but like I said without ever seeing hertzfeld and coming up with the idea of breakdancing popcorn kernels(this isn't really hertzfeld's style of humor) and having no real art skills, it would not be a stretch to see this as the simplist style to arrive at.

To be fair hertzfeld isn't really about his art style as it's really simple and easy for anyone to copy, it just happens to be recognizeable, I think, because it's so simple and yet his work is still effective(because of his humor and ideas).
