[Strawberry's Joke]

Had a good punchline.

This flash definately made me laugh. I thought the animation was good, and the joke was so ridiculous that I couldn't help but to find it funny. Did you attempt to sound like Strawberry Clock in your normal voice, if so, it simply added to the humor. It could have used a background of somesort, but I understand that it is Clock Day and simplicity gets the best of us, so I'll let it slide.

Even though it was on the bland side, the laughs really pulled through and made this animation a lot better. Maybe Pikachu's mouth could have at least moved or you could have thrown a few more jokes in there, but the one you included was pretty clever. Anyway, I appreciate all the laughs this gave me, have a good Clock Day, and keep up the good work!

[Dimlight]

Pretty clever.

I'm not that big of a fan of Twilight, but you parodied it extremely well. My favorite part is how Edward has the same expression on his face throughout the entire flash. The voices were great too, they matched the personalities of the characters perfectly. One thing that I counted off for was that Bella's mouth didn't always match what she was saying which tended to be somewhat annoying. I also thought the last scene was drawn out a little too long.

I was impressed by your animation skills, I really like the way you draw your characters. I noticed the Brokeback Mountain music at the beginning, and you get bonus points for adding an awesome ELO song at the end. Not too much to complain about, probably my favorite Twilight parody from this site. Keep up the good work, I have high expectations for you.

[King Hippo's Punch Out]

Not too thrilling.

I've recently been obsessing over the new installment of the Punch Out series, so I thought I could get a few laughs out of this flash. The humor was decent, I didn't think the end was too funny, but you worked with the sprites very well and it's nice to see all of the old images and hear the sounds from this game from what seems like an eternity ago. I did think the Glass Joe part was alright, I always laugh whenever he gets the crap beat out of him.

I thought the flash got pretty repetitive since King Hippo used the same move set over again and he would just stand there and take the punches. The first three fights were pretty boring and the Bald Bull one was mildly amusing. I have to give you credit though, the flash was laid out nicely with good programming and all the stats were the same. One thing that also bugged me was that the hearts weren't lost when Hippo's punches were blocked. Anyway, it was a decent flash, let's keep it clean, and keep up the good work!

[Planetoid - Original]

Highly amusing.

I liked how you made the overall design look, the tinfoil in the clouds and trees made the flash have a somewhat sci-fi look. The music gave it that futuristic feeling as well. The movement was kinda slow and some of it seemed like it was simply motion tweening, but I followed the story and it visually turns into something like a storybook, but that's probably just my reaction to it.

My favorite part was when the rocketship lifted off and the fire came out at the end, the flames looked extremely cool. I'll definately have to see the other episodes of this series if they were as neat as this one was. I liked the characters and how the movement of the frame was synced with the music too. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Fate responds:

Hey, thanks. Be sure to tell me what you thought of the further chapters.

[Tendril]

Nicely done.

I didn't really sense a concept for this flash, it mainly seems like lines connecting to form random objects. It was still an entertaining flash though. I thought the background looked neat and you used color well. I enjoyed the part where the two tubes were both filled with color, it had a cool effect on the flash. The music was a nice addition too, it went well with the animation.

The concept and somewhat repetitiveness was all that I counted off for in this flash. Aside from that, I thought the experimental feeling this flash envoked made it look different and creative. Smooth animation and good music was what made this flash interesting. Overall, it was a submission that appeals to your senses. Keep up the good work!

[Tom's Wife]

Very funny.

The concept for this flash was very clever. I liked how the characters personalities switched at the end of the flash. The ending was unpredictable it was a nice suprise. The animation was simple, I like the way you animate you characters. The black and white color gave it a gloomy feeling, it worked well with the flash.

The only thing that kept you from getting a perfect score was the microphone's resolution. The sounds seemed like they kept echoing, and the gun shot startled me too since it was louder than the other sounds. Besides that, I thought this was an amusing short flash. Keep up the great work!

rjgraham responds:

Thank you for your feedback, sumidiotdude! Always appreciated. I did add the reverb to the vocals to convey the impression of a wide open space, and the gun sound was intended to play louder than the previous sounds. Is it too loud, do you think?

[Pico Wears...]

It was alright.

I didn't really sense a concept in this flash except it was a parody of the Air Jordan sneakers. The animation was very good though, and you chose a nice song to loop with the animation. Took me a while to figure out that the flash repeats itself though, and end scene would have been nice. Like I said no real storyline in this flash put it on the weaker side.

The voice for the narrator was pretty good, but if the words weren't being displayed I would have had no idea what he was saying. Wasn't a bad animation though, I like the way you drew Pico, it is very different from the normal way that we are used to seeing him. Nice to see you make a movie instead of a game too. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[Spooky Deleted Scenes!]

Good job all around.

I liked the conversation about the cat and dog because I remember it from the previous Spookyville episode, but the liquefaction part had me really confused. I kinda wish there was a button that would take you to the scene where you choose sex, drugs, or rock n' roll, I really wanted to see all of the endings. Good job on the smooth animation and voice acting too.

Where you trying to take a spoof on Scientology with that whole Xenu bit? That was pretty funny, I got a good laugh out of that. Most of this flash had me baffled, but overall it gave me a lot of laughs. It's a shame to see such a good series come to an end and such a fine planet as Earth to be destroyed. Oh well, anyway, keep up the great work!
