Rock Paper Scissors stars a trio of best friends and roommates who lovingly compete overeverything in hilarious but mostly wildly absurd ways: Rock (voice of Ron Funches), the member of the trio with the biggest heart and moral compass; Paper (Thomas Lennon), the wannabeintellectual who dreams of being a famous inventor; and Scissors (Carlos Alazraqu), who acts overly confidentand always wants to be cool. Throughout the first season, Rock, Paper, and Scissors will go to extremes playing hide-and-seek around theworld, running from the birthday police, defending the world from analien invasion, going head-to-head with the Rat Bros and more.

The series also stars Melissa Villaseñor(Saturday Night Live) as Pencil, the trio’s incredibly smart neighbordown the hall, and Eddie Pepitone (The Muppets) as Lou, theangry landlord, who is also a garbage can.

Nickelodeon Animation produces the series that originated in 2019 as a short before being greenlit as a series from Nickelodeon’s Intergalactic Shorts Program, successor to the shorts program that spawned Breadwinners and The Loud House. Robot Chicken writers Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman created, wrote, and executive produced the original shorts, with ConradVernon (Sausage Party) and Bob Boyle (The Fairly OddParents) serving asexecutive producers on the series.
