''CLUNK-CLUNK-CLUNK''

''The Most Amazing Story Ever Told'' is a collaboration between numerous early-2000s independent animators. Two series were made, each consisting of eight episodes each made by one animator. The first shows the adventure of T-Bone, a redneck stranded floating on an inner tube who is pulled into a weird series of events. The second, variously called "The Most Amazing Story Ever Told 2" or "The Second Most Amazing Story Ever Told", is... [[RandomEventsPlot less easy to sum up.]]

The first series is bookended by Goonland and also features Rockschool, Killfrog, Bunnygrenade, Joecartoon (known for the "Frog in a Blender" cartoon), Jay Donaldson (whose characters Kegel and Angus prominently appear in the series), and Camp Chaos (best known for ''WebAnimation/NapsterBad''). The second series excludes Bunnygrenade but also features Boneland and Doodie (the latter of whom would kick off the ''VideoGame/WhackYour'' series of games).

!!The Most Amazing Tropes Ever Told:
*{{Bookends}}: The first and final episodes are made by Goonland, and have T-Bone floating in the water in an inner tube.
*TheCameo:
**Music/ChristinaAguilera appears in the waiting room of the brain transplant clinic in episodes 4 to 6 of the original series.
**Watto ("from ''Franchise/StarWars'' episodes [[Film.ThePhantomMenace one]] and [[Film.AttackOfTheClones two]]!") collaborates with the Pizza Box Chef in episode 1 of the second series, and appears as an [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] action figure in episode 2.
**In addition many characters from the individual animators' own series appear in these, including Kev, the Doc, Little Susie and the pigs from Killfrog, Nippleman and Teat-Mutt from Camp Chaos, Kegel and Angus, and so on.
*GainaxEnding: Doodie's ending for the second series, with two mutated conjoined humans reminiscing over the events of the previous episodes before turning their heads into asses and defecating for some reason.
*HalfwayPlotSwitch: Only in the fifth episode of the second series does the central plot about the fate strand crop up.
*MushroomSamba: As a result of Psycho Rodney's mushroom pizza, Crispin, Jim and Jon go into a series of hallucinations.
*RandomEventsPlot: The second series. To wit:
**Episode 1 features Nippleman and Teat-Mutt being trapped by an evil Italian chef and Watto from ''Franchise/StarWars'', who plan to turn the Earth into a meatball.
**Episode 2 frames this as the fantasy of a kid playing with action figures, one of which explodes and burns down his house with his babysitter and her boyfriend still inside, while he wanders onto the street and meets a trucker who gives him a firecracker.
**In episode 3, the firecracker blows up the kid, then there's another segment with the farmer railing against Joezilla, followed by a segment two million years in the future parodying the ape monolith scene from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
**In episode 4, two kids are trying to reach the 13th floor on an elevator without one, and find a portal that spits them out at the aforementioned 2001 parody.
**In episode 5, God sees this scene and realizes that fate hasn't gone as he planned, and sends an angel to find out what happened to the missing fate strand.
**Episode 6 has the fate strand in the possession of space bandits who get destroyed by a ship carrying Kegel, Argus and Kook. Kegel and Argus then send the strand to the man whose name is printed on it...
**...and in episode 7, Kev receives the strand and is about to put it in the fate-bending machine that the late Doc made before the three piggies try to take hold of it.
**Finally, episode 8 features mutated conjoined yellow humans two million years in the future who reminisce over the events of the series, and then turn their heads into butts and poop from them.
*WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: According to the eighth and last episode of the first series, T-Bone would become a freshwater tubing champion and spokesman for Duncan Hines; Chris, the co-star of the previous episode would star on DirectToVideo movies and on ''Series/TheView''; Agnus, the child from episode 4, is still in counseling and her dog Kevin still loves a warm brain to lie on; Crispin, Jim and Jon from episode 2 are on a tour of Japan due to a hit single; Satan and Lord Ratbird still reside in hell having lost interest in world domination; Kegel and Argus continue fighting crime; Christina's brain transplant was successful and she has a new job at a Pringles factory; owing to its species's short lifespan, the penguin is dead; Kook is teaching driver's ed; Killfrog's Doc is in a correctional facility for cloning law violations; and, finally Joezilla and Mick are still in dispute to this day and attempting to reach common ground.
