Episodes after the "Ninja Omnibus" episode use the Ninja edited onto a red circle gradient background, and episodes after the "BBQ" episode changed to blue. Starting with Episode 23, "Ninternships", the behind-the-scenes-team decided to have sponsors for their episodes.Īlthough episodes 1 to 16 are answered by Ninja in front of a featureless blue background, the action sometimes goes to other places, such as inside a car or another house. Each episode usually ranges from four to seven minutes, usually ending with Ninja's signature remark to each questioner: "I look forward to killing you soon!" New episodes had been released bi-weekly during the height of the podcast's popularity. The episodes feature constant and erratic camera-angle changes, as well as enthusiastic and wild hand gestures by the Ninja. According to an interview, Ask A Ninja was originally supposed to be an animated show about two Ninjas living in Orange County. The series, created by Los Angeles improvisational comedians Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine, features a ninja who answers e-mails from "viewers" (a similar format to Ask Zorbak and Strong Bad Email, which was an influence on Ask A Ninja's creators according to Kent Nichols). In January 2007 Forbes listed The Ninja as one of the top "Fictional Celebrities" on the web.
In December 2007, television industry trade magazine TelevisionWeek (reported that Ask a Ninja creators Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine made about $100,000 a month in ad revenue and income from merchandising and licensing from the show.
Ask A Ninja is a series of comedy videos about the image of ninja in popular culture available in podcast and vodcast form, as well as in mov and WMV file formats.
