MTV Goes Mobile with Return to Puberty

Because there’s nothing like the ugly awkward suffering that composes puberty, and maybe because “puberty” happens to be a loaded and funny word to say, MTV makes its first leap into the mobile universe with a set of 11 characters who, in their collective uncoolness, make up Puberty.

Created by Clay Weiner and Hornet with the help of WDDG out of NYC. Suggesting the characters may be an allegory for the everyday, Clay notes, “Puberty, as painful as it was, proves in hindsight to be a pretty apt metaphor for life. But the cruel truth is that you never get over it. No matter how old you get you still get pooped on (Doo-doo), you always wish you were more mature than you are (Pubes), you always think you have a big butt (Booty), and they’ll always laugh at you for sticking out of a crowd (Boner). As bad as Puberty is, adulthood is worse.”

We’re just making that discovery ourselves. But hey, at least now we don’t have to worry about getting stuffed into lockers, and it’s been a long time since we last wet the bed. Check out the cast of Puberty here and see the promos.
