[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

One Lil' Thing I Want To Bitch About In This

I voted this a five because the timing is great, the animation is top notch, it made me laugh five five times.

But I have worked in restaurants for four years of my life, and I have never met a waitress who would actually be shocked by that "You're A Dick/You're A Fuck" thing. I've heard them call each other cunts just barely quiet enough to avoid detection by the customers or bosses. I have been called everything they say in this video and worse by them because it's busy and they're pissed at how long the food is taking too long. Mostly they're too damn fatigued to be fazed if a guy whipped his penis out and pissed on the carpet.

But like I said, It's just one thing I'm bitching about in a great toon. Would love to see a series devoted to this.

So much funnier than Crank Yankers

"You're a faggot, you know why? I don't know why."
What a great sound byte.

Please make other bad phone messages into cartoons. I will probably compliment them, for what that's worth.

[History of an Animation]

Enjoyable High Concept

Aside from the terrible music, this is one of the most feel-good, clever, and enjoyable animations about the process I have ever seen. It's just a little shy of "Animator Vs. Animation."

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

Only Episode 2, and Already There's Already...

... there's a stale formula.

Remember the first one? Okay, imagine it twice as long and with Charlie more of a spazz, and plot point for plot point you have envisioned this.

Oh how I wish Jason Steele had gone in SOME other direction. Anything but a remake of the original.

Oh well, the art's pretty good, and the song was nice.

[Outlaw pt.1]

Dear Fucking Satan, I Enjoyed This!

I can't help but rant with glee like a little school girl on meth.

The sparse but perfect writing (The demon's reason for why he likes Brooks is one of the most sig-worthy I've ever seen in flash) the little touches (like the appearance of the demon's eye from behind the cracks in... the purgatory, I'll call it) the big twists (Two men in competition to stay out of hell) Shit, if you can maintain that level of originality and quality for the entire thing, I would send you a cash donation through paypal. Hell, I would help pay to get this published on dvd.

By the way, I was having a day of pure misery up to the point I watched this. Thank you for making a flash that could make up for so much of that.

[Reiko - S'no Fair]

Why did THIS one get front paged?

C'mon, there's none of the cleverness that Grisanti was able to put in a few other ones (Like the one about the cat or the hopskotch one) There's just a lame setup and one-liner that I've heard before.

[SRM Transformers 2!]

Just my suggestions: Take them or leave 'em

I think you've done all the "break the fourth wall" jokes you can get out of this series. I feel you should start exploring new territory.

Also, while you might consider the new voices an integral part of the new designs and characters, I think it might be a little cooler if they sounded like the original characters. To that end, it might be a long shot, but perhaps you should contact DRSMOOV on youtube.com. The dubbing on his mashups is very raunchy, but he does have a bit of popularity and his characters do sound a bit like the original Gen 1 guys. Maybe if you collaborated, you could come up with a great third episode.

Battosai810 responds:

Your suggestions have been duly noted - the thing is, my characters in this little series are actually dressed up versions of my regular characters. SRM is SRM Prime, Cousin Mel is Melatron, etc. and I want to keep at least some ties to my regular cartoons (SRM Transformers, as popular as it is, isn't my only series) and I generally like to keep my humor pretty clean, at least on NG. As for breaking the fourth wall, I do that when it fits; most of the ones in this were references to the first toon.
But thanks a lot for your suggestions, I just might have to contact that guy.

[Madness Inundation]

I'll Ask It

Even though Krinkels will never read this:

Why bother with all the bits where the protagonist is up against regular guys? Those bits aren't the least bit suspenseful or interesting, because we know the main character is barely even going to be slowed down by them. And now that you put Jesus into the equation and he doesn't even have to touch or get near the guys he is offing through the use of "God Power" or whatever, those bits seem doubly gratuitous.

Man, you could have cut the amount of time you spent on this probably down by at least a third if you didn't bother with all the "Here comes henchman #202928, with an axe" bits and just showed the bits where he was fighting the heavies.

I'm going on and on about this because it is the only complaint that I have.

[Bambee]

Well, It's Pretty, and the Owl's Funny

There were large chunks I didn't think were very funny, and personally I thought this would have worked a bit better if you had gotten some other voice actors through the various forums available. So I'll add you to my favorite artists, but I'm afraid I won't add this flash.
