Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Prosnorkulus]

I wasn't expecting the cartoon to be that long. Of course, I always wasn't expecting it to even be over after the first scene! This really wasn't that violent. I mean, I've seen Madness flashes with people dying over and over. Of course, in those cases, the characters aren't that well detailed and you don't see their organs as much. I think it kind of went on a bit too long, but still very nice.

The battle scenes were the best. I like how good that guy is when he snipes everyone on the battlefield like nobody's business. The catching his spit was a funny visual gag too. Dang, that is one big beard. I don't think there's a single time where the title character talks.

[Duck Luck]

Tom Fulp's more deranged than I thought to love something like this. What I found the weirdest about this was that it didn't even have anything going on. It was just a bunch of weird guys doing stupid things. Granted, that's what most of us do anyway. If there's anything positive, it's that the animation is actually good. It could have used some color, I guess. I doubt this was even intended to be anything that good.

It probably fits more under "Experimental" than anything else. I hope you had fun with this insane experiment. I admit I do kind of get a kick out of some of the nonsensical randomness. Not one of my favorites, though. At least it's something different.

[Lighting test]

Well, Tom Fulp likes you at least. I guess there wasn't anything bad about this, it was just a short loop featuring a test. That really isn't the short of thing most people would want to have here. I guess you know your audience, though. It might have worked better if it was an art submission. I heard you can use gifs for art submissions, can't you?

I'm just going to say the name of whatever was the last video game I was thinking about. Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy. Of course, I have no idea why duck bills would even be considered valuable. Please don't kill innocent ducks because of what I have done. Okay for what it is.

[Exchango Sizo]

I really have nothing to say. This is something that is so insane it just speaks for itself. As I am a reviewer, I have to say that the good probably outweighed the bad in this. What made it truly insane was that nothing was happening for any reason. The cartoon that had the title was probably not as good because the animation was not as good. The overall animation was good and it seemed like there was stuff always moving.

I'm not going to ask what's going on here because it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you created a completely insane cartoon. I guess I would probably recommend this. I mean, it's not bad, it's just very, very strange. It could be more colorful, I suppose. Congrats on making something utterly insane.

[Saved by the Horn]

I think this is the longest cartoon you've ever made. I personally didn't find this THAT appealing, because it didn't have that many clever jokes. It did have some writing, so I'll give you that. The best part about this is probably when Mr. Belding (I think that's his name) was kidding about cutting off Zach's cooch. This show has had so many followers, it only makes sense people would make parodies. Yeah, they didn't have black people.

Of course, no show back then really did, now that I think about it. I do think it kind of went on a bit too long, because I couldn't find that many appealing things about it. The running gag with kidding wasn't bad. I'm not your biggest fan, your stuff is just so incomprehensible. You're like the Andy Kaufman of flash animation.

[Son, Ya Done]

I was for the most part entertained by this, even if it was completely ridiculous. Come to think of it, Tom Fulp really does like to front page stuff that completely insane. This wasn't so much a movie as an anti-movie. That is, it works well by how little art it has. The animation needs a lot more movement, but for the most part, the drawings are actually decent. The sounds don't sync up that well, but it's still fun to watch.

It mostly works because it's just insanity from beginning to end. It was kind of sad how that kid was simply shot at the end. At least the real life (?) version of himself was okay. I was thinking it would be more positive given the title. Those fathers.

[Kinect Rage]

Woah, that was one bizarre cartoon. For the most part, I guess I'm going to say I enjoyed it. It was just completely insane with how ridiculous it was. You said you couldn't draw and I guess that's technically true, but man, do these cheesy drawings sure make it look good! It still looks like there was a lot of effort put into the animation. The guy with the gray hair looks like Sephiroth.

It's just funny to see how stupid these morons look. It's hard to feel much sympathy when they get beat up, because it's so fun to watch them do that! I know little about the Kinect. I guess I'm glad I'm keeping up with recent video game technology. There could have been some better colors, but that was besides the point. The point is this was insane and good.

Yeah, have always like reading your reviews here on NG.

[I Eat Puppies]

I don't see why people don't like this that much. I admit myself that it's completely nonsensical, but that never stopped stuff like animutation being popular before. Admittedly, those are better, but this is still fairly nice. I thought something about eating puppies would be a lot gorier. Not that I am in anyway saying I wish it was gorier. This is good just the way it is.

I don't know if this was supposed to have any deep meaning or symbolism, but I doubt it. It reminds me of those Spongmonkeys. It's rare you see someone in modern times using that. It's nice how no two images appear the same. If they were the same, they're probably so ridiculous, I wouldn't even notice.

[IE7 for a Webdesigner]

I can understand why this won Underdog Of The Week. It is certainly a unique cartoon, but it makes little sense. It seems to be a polarizing contradiction in itself. On one hand, the animation isn't very good and the voices could be better. On the other hand, it does have pretty impressive graphics sometimes like when it shows the evil icon at the end. Congradulations on winning Movie Of The Year!

I had no clue you could win both the Underdog Of The Week and MOTY. Then again, this is a pretty crazy submission, it seems like it would make sense its results would be nonsensical. I don't even know which Internet Explorer I'm using. Eh, probably 7. This was a pretty weird cartoon, but worth watching.

[Geico Ad Parody]

You could have not made it an infinite loop, but it's still a nice cartoon. There have been so many Geico commercials out there, it only fits people would make fun of them. First, it was the Geico Gecko. Then it was the Cavemen. Then it was the money with the googley eyes. Now it's the guy who says, "Could switching to Geico really save you...?"

I'm glad to say that there have been commercials where the Geico gecko has been featured, if that's what you're talking about. He's easily the most popular of all the characters. That stupid Caveman sitcom pretty much killed off the cavemen. The animation in this could probably be better, but that might have been part of the point.
