The Adventures of Takua and Jaller is a series of short comedic videos on the first CCP channel (Sampson1138). This features the same seven Matoran characters from CCP's other Bionicle series "Chronicles of the Chronicler", but the portrayals of the characters are very different (and in Takua and Kongu's case, they are practically opposites). Matoro's voice is completely different, and Takua's is higher in pitch.
The videos originally started as a series of three video tests in May 2010 under the name "Chronicles of the Chronicler", the name that would eventually be given to the serious series. These were all just advanced video tests, and were not meant to be taken seriously. In 2011, these original three videos were renamed on YouTube as "The Adventures of Takua and Jaller". Also in 2011, another stop-motion video test was released, called "Takua's New Car". This video was a failed test for blue screen effects. While the final product was unfinished, it got so many views that later that year another Takua/Jaller funny video was released as a Christmas special, and was the first TAoTaJ video that wasn't a video test. These videos were not an official series until 2012, after the "Chronicles of the Chronicler" series had ended.
Takua's IQ gradually fell as the series went on, but kinda fluctuates at a low.
Of the cast of characters, only Jaller, Kongu, and Nuparu have the same voices as they do in COTC. Hahli also has the voice she had in the first two seasons of COTC, when I voiced her. Hewkii's voice is inconsistently changing all the time. Matoro's voice is his original voice from the second video of the COTC test videos (The Adventures of Takua and Jaller: Less Than Meets the Eye), which was used for Vakama in the real COTC series.
Nuparu was added into the series in the Christmas 2012 video after someone asked on YouTube why he wasn't in any of the other videos.
All of the videos in 2012 were criticized for being too short, so the first video of 2013 was eighteen minutes long.
The original videos all had "modulated" voices.
One joke I regret making in the video "Bane" is when Jaller asks if Takua even saw The Dark Knight Rises, and he says "Of course not, after what happened in the theater?", referring to the Aurora Colorado shooting.
Takua is usually the only one who makes numerous references to movies, television, and other internet videos. However, Jaller mentions "Call of Duty".
