[Pickilow Episode 10]

Fairly random

This was good on some levels because it did seem a little different than most of your stuff. Wow, you (BanglaBoy96) sure made a ton of submissions! Anyway, I did not see this as being offensive or anything so I'll give you that. I also did not turn the speakers up because it didn't seem like it was going to be anything that great. In fact, I think I heard it pretty straight. You could work a lot on animation as it was far from high quality.

It might have helped me if I saw the other episodes and I think I did see a couple others. It just seems like the character Pickilow doesn't have many good qualities. Some of the designs (especially the green guy) are kind of funny. It looks like you have done good work for yourself for making an entire season. Better animation often works.

BanglaBoy96 responds:

Thanks! :) I'll try harder in future!

[LAWYER UP!]

One of your best

This was interesting because it seemed to be the first one in the series that did not take place in their living quarters. This allows them to interact with a lot more characters. I was hoping he would say, "This ice cream gives me a headache" after being hit by the saw. I love how random everything is. It's like the saw cut created a giant pimple on his head that oozed out pus. While pus is not the best thing it did wrap this up nicely. Yeah, his head does kind of look like a penis.

It was weird how you paired up an Italian guy and a black guy. I guess it makes no less sense than any other odd pairing up. It was great how all of you voice actors worked hard to put distinction into the character's voices. It's not until halfway through that you understand the title. I actually like this intro as much as the old one.

DestructoBox responds:

I think our only other fully NON apartment based episode is "Bum Nuts." We love doing episodes outside of the apartment, but they definitely take longer to make. We try to add new scenery occasionally so that we can save time on SOME re use materials. Bigger episodes like this are definitely rewarding once they're done though.

Thanks for the review!

[Quest of the Manwhore]

Very messed up!

This has to be the most surreal thing you have ever submitted to this website! Seeing as how I love surrealism, I have no choice but to fall in love with this. Okay, I definitley do not mean I am falling in love with the manwhore. This was great because there were so many references. There was RaptorJesus, then there was a reference to the song "California Girls" and it's pretty dang disturbing how Fernando looks at you. You just have no idea what is going to happen next.

I believe it is an infinite loop, but it's actually fairly long for an infinite loop. It's the kind of one where you can keep on watching like the stuff by Weebl. His voice is wonderfully deep and fits his total insanity. The visual effects were great, particulary the scenes with the rainbows. At least he doesn't have crabs anymore.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks v much ericho, glad you liked it!

[Timmy's Giant Sandwich]

True time I hold you (?)

Yep, I knew it was going to turn into something pretty grisly. At least this turn not turn out to be Timmy who was the one who released the carnage on his enemies. The animation was really good in this one and you seem to really incorporate your own style. While there was not much action going on until the end, still great. I loved how he stabbed the knife in his own face. Serves the monster right for stabbing and raping Timmy.

The simplistic animation and narrative made for a pretty scary story at the end. Of course, that was more dark humor than intended horror. I like how the characters have the same expressions even while torturing Timmy. I bet that probably would be the world's largest peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He should have just bought peanut butter.

[Orange You Glad...]

That was unexpected

The thing I really liked in this cartoon were the voices because it seemed to be really authentic. The orange had the best of all. I guess it's not proper to keep thinking of The Annoying Orange when I see stuff about fruit on the Internet. I was not expecting the banana to flip out and kill everyone like that. I could not quite understand the joke because it left out the part where he first says "banana". I guess it's more satisfying when he kills them because the joke was bad.

It was interesting to just look at the lines that were shown in this. The sketchy artwork really entertained me and gave the cartoon a more authentic feeling. It's funny how the banana has such a mood swing when he kills everyone. Well, they were going to meet their fate by the knife anyway. I am glad it did not just end with the first joke.

[Monty Python's FF1]

You're a looney!

The only thing that I did not like about this was how it did not go through the whole sequence. I know that is about five minutes, but that's the only time this guy is in the movie! While I haven't seen it yet, I have seen that scene and know why it's so dang popular. It's especially cool to see the Final Fantasy character show such emotion. It perfectly syncs well with the audio you gave him. The Black Knight looks like he's on steroids here, so I bet he could be a threat even without limbs!

It really makes you notice how Arthur's tone goes from serious to angry to sarcastic. It is great to see how they interact in this scene and make use of a three dimensional world. Granted, it's not CGI but it's so well animated it appears to have depth. It cut off a bit too soon but any part of this is hilarious in its own right. I love how he gleefully kicks him.
