Quick Clicks: CuteRoulette, ‘Halo: Operation Chastity’, ‘Kids React’, ‘Ask Milly’

Online video and web series news worth clicking today:

CuteRoulette may be littered with cat videos, but we have to give it a temporary pass, as it officially sucked away at least 45 minutes of productivity out of our day. The simple creation of NYC-based firm Hard Candy Shell is so darn adorable it can even seduce an awwww out of our one-eyed janitor Lew. They had us at Monkey and Puppy (below).. [CuteRoulette]

More updates on the ambitious Halo fan film due out later this summer come in the form of a behind the scenes look at Halo: Operation Chastity’s teaser shoot, released exclusively through Machinima, which is also releasing the full film. The BTS video (below) alone already has over 100,00 views on YouTube, giving a glimpse of just how much fans of the popular Xbox franchise are anticipating some live action Warthog.

Too late for Charlie Sheen? Not for six year-olds. The Fine Brothers‘ weekly series Kids React continues to mildy abuse children today by making them watch the first Charlie Sheen interviews just a week after sitting them down for the full Rebecca Black vid. My favorite little kid in this series is easily becoming Morgan Bertsch (pictured above) who just seems to love life a little more than the others. Some of these kids even have respectable YouTube channels of their own, like the 21k+ subscriber Lia Marie Johnson. [TheFineBrothers on YouTube]

Sci-fi comedy SOLO continued its generous iPad and Apple TV giveaways

today with the release of Episode 5, “Mole!” (below) on YouTube. Fans can be eligible to win an Apple TV by subscribing to the show’s channel and answering the episode’s cliffhanger question, “What message did Jenkins actually send to the ship?” [WatchSOLO on YouTube]

Puppets are still hot this year. Proof comes in the form of new puppet channel Hey Its Milly on YouTube that already locked in over 75,000 subscribers in just 2 days since launching. The foul mouthed puppet released her latest parody—”SELENA GOMEZ IN BED! (Ask Milly #1)”—a parody of Ask iJustine and other YouTuber fan-interview series. It already has an impressive 8,153 “likes” so far, which bodes well for more Milly this year. Not surprisingly, The Fine Brothers seem to have lent a hand in getting her started.

New comedy web series Tronix County shows promise from Missouri-based Milkman Productions and creator Thomas Rennier. While at first I thought they were playing the shirtless thumbnail game on YouTube—except with males—it turns out there’s a quirky indie comedy here that drew me in. Three episodes are out so far of an expected six in the first batch. [Tronix County on YouTube]

Checking in on our friends making the cross-country YouTuber trek on The DigiTour—which tonight hits Club Red in Phoenix—and we have a video (below) from the tour’s Oakland stop. This one’s from Jumoke Hill (jumokeTV) singing his original song “Before It’s Too Late” live on stage. [jumokeTV on YouTube]

Workshop rolled out another half-hour episode on Hulu, its fourth of the new season today. In “The Mormonator,” Kaitlyn tries to get her SAG vouchers, Jeff has a big audition and Matthew gets in trouble on the set of ‘Slingin It.’ [Workshop on Hulu]
