Kickaball is shamed when it is revealed to the world that he has unbearably smelly feet.

2D animation about sporting aliens the Likeaballs and their competitions with the renegade group the Dislikeaballs. Kickaball is shamed by his unbearably smelly feet.

2D animation. Travelling through space after their home planet was destroyed, ball shaped aliens the Likeaballs compete in sporting challenges, whilst promoting fair play and team spirit. 

Kickaball is shamed when he loses his boot during a game and reveals to the world that he has unbearably smelly feet. He even tops the poll on Pam and Dan's 'stinkiest thing in the universe' chart.

Count Horriball is jealous of the dubious honour awarded to Kickaball and invents a 'whiff maker' containing a collection of the world's smelliest things to produce an eye-wateringly bad smell. 

Despite Knowledgeaball's best efforts, Kickaball is unable to cure his stinky problem and so a battle of smells breaks out on the pitch of Wobbly Stadium. Naturally, Kickaball's socks win the day.
