Fair to partly-funny

The style and sense of humor kinda remind me of Space Tree. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. I can't really think of what to do differently, since it's one of those "I'm not really trying and that's what makes it funny"-style cartoons. Keep it up, I guess.

Not as good as Nightlght Press's switch parody...

All "funny ass hell" aside, I thought it was a very well-executed switch parody. The guy's voice is funny all by itself, and the timing and his inflection is just right to parody the switch ads. Only one real joke, but it had me smacking my forehead against the desk, going "That's just wrooooooong..." XD Not too shabby.

Can't get much more irreverant than Hitler comedy.

I found the rambling dialogue amusing. I do have to agree with some of these other reviewers that towards the end it started getting stale. I guess if you should take a lesson away from this, it's feel free to cut some of the dead air out of your improvs if you have that option. Like, you couldn't do it if it was live improv acting, but if it's a Flash like this, or a video, you can always skip a second or two of footage if nothing interesting is happening. Maybe skip to the next new joke, or whatever.

One more thing: they say Art is powerless unless it can disgust as well as delight. On that note, the pig chewing with his mouth open was a very powerful image.

Double you tea eff mate...

Wow. This is some pretty damn vague political commentary, and I've taken a class on Latin America. I guess it's about inflation or something. I wasn't even aware that the kid had eaten the cady until he said "you lied." I was like, WTF? Why is he turning red?

Graphics: Interesting images of the building, the hill, and the characters. Unfortunately, they all fit together all weird and crap with no sense of porportion. Here's a hint: Bonus Stage can only get away with that kind of cinematography because it's making fun of itself.

Style: Ugh. Typical pretentious intro that's as long as the actual movie. Grating metal and ugly characters. No sense of proportion or 3D space. The alleged theme is not expressed well. It was supposed to be about the government lying about the inflatiuon rate? Hell, that could be any government lying about anything... He doesn't even look like a politician. He looks like a soldier or a general. I don't how they do things in whatever third world country the author comes from, but here's a little hint: The head of our millitary wears a suit and a tie when he lies to us. Our shopkeepers don't wear green millitary brass either, so I can't immagine. If your flash was not about the American government, but about the government in your home land, then I retract this statement. Ugly acid trip FBF doesn't impress anybody these days. It's not 1975.

Sound: CRAPPY. METAL. It's not 1985 either. Voices are okay.

Violence: There's some. It's not horrific by Newgrounds standards, but some guy gets his red lines blown out.

Interactivity: none. It's a movie.

Humor: none. It's a boring one.

Overall: 3. If you're going to make fun of America, that's all fine and good, but maybe you should talk to some Americans first to determine what kind of symbolism you should use. Again, if you live in Hoehemia or something and you were talking about THEIR inflation policies, then that's fine, but you should make it clear in the explaination of your movie. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, if you're not american, maybe the symbolism you used makes a whole lot of sense in your culture. If that's the case, then I have *no idea* what I'm talking about and you ought to disregard this whole review.

Now I'll click SUBMIT and it will tell me it's already been blammed... -_-

Not bad... but not good either.

Okay, the author put a TON of work into it and you can tell. It's just that it's not interesting. First of all, there's no reason for the robot to think in terms of "prehistoric" and "modern." I assume the glowing green thingy is of alien origin. If anything it should think it's on the wrong planet, and should think like an alien. (Also, I assume the robot is just a mannequin made out of sticks and stones, mysteriously animated by whatever the green thing is. So wouldn't that make it more of a golem?) I know I'm overthinking this but there's just so much "yeah right" to this story that I couldn't get interested. Anyway the robot should be able to just walk across the bottom of the lake. It's not like it needs to breathe or anything. And how can the caveman lift such a heavy stone contraption using a primitive fishing line? Even if he's really strong for a human the line would snap. And why 3 megs of download for a 2 minute film with 3 lines of dialogue? And how come th... *HEAD EXPLODES*

Interesting style, but the story sucked.

"Butler shoots master in pool." Yawn.

I voted "Nothing too new or interesting," but actually, the way the butler was drawn looked kinda cool, with the shine on his suit and such. If only the animation had told a story that was actually interesting to me in some way, I might have scored this higher.

The formula for a good first flash is 3+ minutes in length NOT due to a long intro or slowly displaying text, consistant art, and a plot that requires at least a short paragraph to explain.

Hopefully, the artist will do something longer in the future. He shows some promise.

It's just a scean from an English novel.

Best Sprite movie I've seen in a while, BUT SHORT!

The animation was done really nicely with these sprites, though I'm sure that's partly because they're ripped from a very well-animated game. They are just the right size for their backgrounds and don't look jagged or pixelly. The text fade-ins are also well done, and fit with the mello love-story music (except for the girl's spazzing about his injuries, of course, but I assume that was intentional.) Not especially violent or funny, but that wasn't the focus of this story. Voices would have been nice if he could have gotten some good ones, but of course excellent text work beats horrible voice acting. It had a nice loader and a start button. If the music started over when you restart the movie, it would have had all the interactivity you can ask for in a linear movie. If ONLY if had been LONGER! I was just BARELY starting to get interested in these characters! Come on, man! Overall, I give it a 6. Make it longer and tell a good, interesting story allt he way through, and you WILL score higher.

The archetypical love story, told through sketches

Boy meets girl. Opposites attract. But he doesn't think they can be together. She pursues him. He runs. He tries to explain to her why they can't be together. He tries to show her other men who would be a better match for her. She will not be swayed. She follows him around and drives him crazy with her constant attention. Finally, he just... gives in. And he finds out that the issues he was afraid of, that he felt made their love impossible, might not be such a big deal after all. Maybe he even feels something for her, too. Just maybe. Can it ever work out between them? Check out part 2, Cake Dance.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Invincible red stickman picks on some mortals for some reason. It's not even interesting invincible fighting, since nobody does more than quiver and try to pull a gun. Then it's to be continued when the boss shows up. So basically not conflict whatsoever, just a lot of killing. Meh.

Adorable slice-of-life time-lapse music video. :)

This was just too awesome. It made me smile as much as There She Is, but for different reasons. I don't know what Vinnie Veritas's fictional world is all about, but he somehow managed to squeeze more personality out of each character in Days After Those Days++ than in any of his other Newgrounds submissions. THIS is how you get people to care about your animation series. :) Whoever these people standing around the bed are, they're HUMAN to me now, and I want to learn more about them and their sketchy, intensely cluttered steampunk world. :)
