I completely agree with the person who said this was good, but the idea needs to be taken further. This is really good for one night of animation, but you really should've taken your time and added more elements to the story to help it stick out further. And the dude could've used a voice... the thought bubble was ok, but spoken word would've worked better there. That kind of goes with the more time argument, though. Not bad though, you earn my thumbs up of approval. See it? There it is, right there. One thumb held high. Good luck with your future works.

One thumb? . o.
Yeah, I wanted to use his voice, but he is shy in front of a microphone.
Later episodes (I am thinking of turning this into a series of hilarious escapades) will probably feature his voice, or an actor's (Hopefully I can get HIS voice . _.)
I'm glad you took the time to type out such a good review.
I appreciate the effort.

I feel the walls of my brain melting when I watch this. I mean, the preloader enough was strange enough, but then you got those dancing... things... under the Yalp button. This entire thing... it's just a bloody nightmare full of laughter and decapitation. Like most of your other work, it's random and criminally insane, but likable. A strange combination, but it works. Keep up the acid trip animations, you colorful person you!

...especially if that means the movie just loops endlessly.
But I'm not reviewing a preloader, so I'll get to the point. It was nice and stylized, like the description says... but without an actual concrete story, the viewer has to rely solely on visuals, and when the visuals are just a choppy pen and paper animation, the viewer suffers. Especially if it's not shaded or colored or anything, you know? You're not going to get anywhere on style alone. The whole 'interpret your own meaning' attitude only goes so far... like another reviewer said, it's a good idea, and you use your style well... but you need to add more elements to it to make something great out of it. Even if all you did was add more drawings to make it fluid, color the original drawings, or just add some shading, it would help the flash stand out better.
Also, next time, please, don't use the auto-starting preloader. I like being able to decide when I want it to start, not it starting when it feels like it. Just a thought, though, I didn't let something like that effect my opinion on the rest of it. Good luck with future endeavors.

I like how deliciously random this all is. I haven't watched many other episodes, but I did like this one, so I will have to say you did a good job with this. Well, I didn't... HAVE to say it, but felt it was a good thing for me to do. Gotta be honest here, you know? Or at least, I'd like to be. The jokes were pretty good, especially the whole argument bit in the middle. And the pink hand bit. Quite a good little morsel of visual niceness. "You look like someone's crap uncle who never buys presents!" Heh. Keep it up, man.

Shit, I should've finished my cartoon sooner, lol... damnit. Ah well, this commercial IS overdue for a flash parody. I'll finish mine, eventually...
But on to the review. It was... alright, I suppose. Not great, but not too shabby. The visuals are good, but the actual parody could've been taken further. That's ok, though, cuz I don't have to worry about any of my jokes being used... eh heh heh...
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
...er, sorry. I'll just go now.

This is turning into quite the series... I think the highlight for me was the mastermind saying 'pleased as punch'... something about a deep, semi-serious villain saying something as fruity as that is just funny to me. Good stuff, I hope this continues.

A little odd, but for one day of effort, it's not too shabby. Work on the voice quality and it'd be good. Oh, and obviously, the animation, but I know you're just starting off, so that'll come in time. Just keep practicin'. WORD!

That was pretty good parody, Mr. Berry. And yes, I realize that rhymes. Anyway, yeah, I liked it. Laughed out loud a couple times, since I've actually seen the movie and so I'm familiar with the things you parodied. Especially the parodies on the camera guy's character, I really didn't like him in the movie so those were especially great. Good stuff.

God that was a lot of reading. The music was alright, but it was a HELL of a lot of reading. Not bad, I guess, but I'd appreciate if there were less text and more spoken word. My real problem with all the text was it distracted me from everything else that was going on. I was more worried about reading the text before it went away than I was about actually watching what was going on, which is a big nuisance. Aside from the reading and the general mind fog the mentality of this flash has going on, it's not bad. But please, less reading next time, I beg you.

"I'm not really sure what just happened..."
Well, I'm not. The story wasn't told very coherently. The accent didn't even really bother me, it was the story itself... something was off about it. Maybe it was just too anime-ish for my tastes, I don't know. Also, the progression of the story was pretty... um... predictable. "Wake up late, go to the hospital a couple times, break the skateboard, rob a bank"... well, it was predictable when watching anyway. Not in the sense that I knew the entire time, I mean that once one thing happened, like the no money thing, I automatically knew he'd go do something like, oh, rob a bank. There were a few times where I was thinking "Man, it'd be funny if this happened." and it didn't happen. Like when the fly flew out of his wallet, it would've been funny as hell if he would've remembered the cereal with the fly in it and said something like "Oh man, I think my wallet's gone bad", like he did with the cereal. All in all, though, not TOO bad... just not my cup of tea. And try to work on the story telling skills, honestly. It'd help. Keep trying!
