Episodes

-
1 In production
Pinocchio Says Not Me
Someone ate all the snacks. Everyone goes around the circle saying “not me” — and then it’s Pinocchio’s turn. His nose has a lot of thoughts about this.
-
2 In production
Bean Nut Handwich
A peanut butter sandwich becomes a “bean nut handwich,” the Big Bad Wolf sings about a hammy ham sammy, and Pig 3 quietly notes: that ain’t granny.
-
3 In production
Day ’Ol Bread
A full-song episode. Steve Reich meets Pee-wee’s Playhouse as the whole cast phases in and out of a song about stinky, crunchy, pipes-a-bustin’ bread. It never decides to end — it just runs out of bread.
-
4 In production
Dupe-Lickets
Robin Hood and Humpty sound exactly alike, the Wolf becomes an airport announcer, and Gretel explains what “allemande” means to absolutely no one. Dear Chris Kringle, with reindeer, does mingle.
Characters
Two original knights and a cast of public-domain fairy tale friends. Every one of them speaks slightly incorrectly — that’s the texture.
The Hosts
-
SGN
Sir Good Nighty
Co-host and philosopher storyteller who gets every story charmingly wrong. Tells bedtime tales that put everyone nearby to sleep.
-
SST
Sir Sleep Tighty
Co-host and music-maker. Conducts the beat with whatever’s in reach, corrects gently, and is a surprisingly good rapper.
The Cast
-
BBW
Big Bad Wolf
Always in Granny’s nightgown. Master of the almost-naughty pivot, and disturbingly smooth on the mic.
-
RH
Robin Hood
Little Red’s brother. Drinks milk straight from the carton. Always lands the wrong word in the rap.
-
LRH
Little Red Riding Hood
Robin’s sister. Has a basket. Still figuring a few things out.
-
HD
Humpty Dumpty
Wears a bike helmet nobody mentions. Every sentence is laced with egg puns. Loves the Magic Mirror.
-
3P
The Three Pigs
Milkshake, popsicle, and brick-oven pizza. Pig 3 says “that ain’t granny” every episode the Wolf shows up.
-
H
Hansel
Tells the story of the bread house again and again. Never quite finishes it.
-
G
Gretel
Sweet, charming, and interrupts Hansel constantly. “It wasn’t stinky.”
-
P
Pinocchio
Desperately wants to be a good liar. Completely transparent. His nose has opinions.
-
WW
Wicked Witch of the Southwest
Always mid-episode of Nighty Knights when something intrudes. Goes very red when the old woman is mentioned.
-
FM
Flying Monkeys 1–4
Numbered, never named. They react as a unit — their question marks always arrive at the same time.
-
PT
Pthomas the Pterodactyl
The P is silent in a way no one can hear. Enormous, delicate, and perpetually hopeful.
-
B
Bonita
Always has a book with an increasingly absurd title. The quiet problem-solver of the bunch.
-
Q
DRENNQ
The Dirty Rotten Evil Not Nice Queen, who is actually quite nice. Minnesota-nice accent. Apologizes for everything.
-
F
The Fairy
Grants every “I wish…” literally and immediately. Cannot help herself. Always delighted, always surprised.
-
TC
Terrince P. Charming III
A composite of every fairy-tale prince. Espresso cup never leaves his hand. Fourteen wristwatches. Five wives.
Heard, Not Yet Seen
- Cinderella — one of Terrince’s wives. The organizer; lists and schedules.
- Sleeping Beauty — still regulating her sleep schedule. Calls at unpredictable hours.
- Snow White — extremely cheerful, no volume control. Always a domestic crisis, presented with joy.
- Princess Bogsworth — the Frog Prince’s princess. The most formal caller. Requires flies — the good ones.
About the show
Nighty Knights is an animated bedtime show for YouTube — sleepy stories and slumber songs hosted by two knights, Sir Good Nighty and Sir Sleep Tighty, with their fairy tale friends.
It’s built like a podcast. The hosts hold corded microphones, guests have mics nearby, and the floor is always a mess of cords. There’s no real plot — things arrive and leave, songs erupt without announcement and trail off when the episode moves on, and stories start without finishing. The energy is the thing.
The tone is zany, silly, warm, and only ever so slightly naughty. Nobody is cynical and nobody is mocked — the show is funny because the situations are funny. Every episode winds down the same way: a yawn spreads through the cast, Zzz’s drift upward, and the Nighty Knights sing everyone to sleep. Put some jammies on.
