Neil Cicierega (born August 23, 1986), a.k.a. Trapezzoid , is an Internet personality and artist, who has at times described his occupation as youthful dipwad . He is the creator of many absurd Macromedia Flash animations, which became highly popular circa 2001, as well as other animations and his own music (see below), both of which have gained him a small cult following that continued even after his mainstream Internet popularity died down. Cicierega currently lives with his parents and 2 of his siblings in Kingston, Massachusetts, Massachusetts, United States.

Neil Cicierega created an original genre of Flash animation, which is widely known as Animutation . Animutation features random scenes and pictures accompanied by foreign or novelty music, often Japanese (most of the original run of Animutations used music from the original Japanese version of Pokémon). His style, most famously seen in his 2001 work Hyakugojyuuichi , has been imitated by other artists on the Internet. These works are known as fanimutations .

Cicierega s most recent projects are vastly different from his normal animutation style. He currently has created two parts in a series named Potter Puppet Pals, a spoof on Harry Potter with all the characters played by hand puppets. Characters in the cast so far include Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape, Dumbledore and Voldemort. Episodes so far have focused on simply bothering Snape to saving the school from Voldemort in a manner not typically used by wizards. The style is done in the manner of a Punch and Judy show, with the puppets moving around a small area. The puppets are animated using Flash in cartoon style.
