[Cheeto Clocks Day Off]

Close to decent

I am glad there are some people who do not just submit a single page for Clock Day. It's amazing how every single one made seemed to make it into the collection! It was also great to see CheetoClock, as I believe this is the first time I have seen him in action. He has a good design with the orange shades on him. It's also cool to see the characters go across the ocean like that. For something that uses Speakaphone (or whatever that is) it's amazing how you can put emotion in the voices.

The biggest weakness was that there was no music. A lot of times there were intervals of no sound at all and it got a little annoying. I think there might also be a glitch when the characters leave after defeating CabbageClock or ArtichokeClock or whoever that was. I think the animation culd also be a bit better, but it is traditional clock style. This is the second Clock flash I have seen where StrawberryClock appears as a bad driver.

ScrewClock responds:

thank you my good man

[Faq, Fuqof ... Fuqhed]

Rather good!

I like this one a lot because you just have no idea what the final punchline is going to be. Granted, you could tell from the title, but you would expect it to be something on the screen. It totally dupes you just like the character so you don't expect the joke. The customer looks a lot like Pico. It's weird to see someone who looks like him in a Newgrounds flash that isn't him! While not the most detailed of submissions, definitley very funny.

Judging from the title, I would have guessed this was going to be spam. The words just seemed so nonsensical. I guess you have showed that we do not have to put a punch of elaborate stuff in our submission to make it good/popular. The animation you did have was actually pretty stylistic. The voices fit the moods well too.

It's back!

I just really wish this would have been longer, it was just so funny as it went on! This is still great to watch because you can have just so much fun with it. All the characters in these sketches are complete idiots and we can not help but laugh at them. There were some that I could not understand, but overall it was hilarious. The funniest one was probably when the father said, "You're dead to me". It's great for being nonsensical like how the wife complains about not getting any jewelry.

It was a great idea to also end with the reference to that train guy. It seems like you could have ended with the guy punching the salad, but still good. It is hard to call these things stick figures as they do kind of have depth to them. It's great fun to just watch these fellows plop around in their environment. Please make it longer next time!

[Nothing in Between]

Nothing in between?

While not as good as "Less Than Three" this was easily a fantastic cartoon to watch! It works that you put in so much detail into all the characters and settings! I especially loved the pirate ship with those cannons and everything. I had little clue what was going on, what matters is that I saw something truly amazing flash before my eyes! I love that little thing you did with the yelling at the intro. This was not music driven as some of other stuff as it was story driven.

It is amazing how much depth you can give to characters who only appear once in this. You have come a long way in quality animation, not to say your other stuff wasn't already great! In every single scene, there is something going on or something in the background. There is a feast for the eyes no matter when you watch this cartoon. The detail is fantastic.

[Guy plays Xbox]

Some of its smooth

I doubt it was your fault there was no sound in this. I would certainly know that there are a lot of things that go so wrong whenever you try to submit something here. I did, however, manage to like this because the animation was actually good. While it was not the best stick figures could offer, still quite slick. You may want to go on the forums and ask someone or look to see if it has already been asked. I can only guess as to what these characters were trying to say.

The one on the left looked a lot like Ronald McDonald! I guess it's kind of devastating to win a T*rd of the Week award, but at least it passed. There seemed to be something weird going on with the background near the end. It was like the cartoon created a superimposed version of himself. You could also find out how to end it.

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 13]

Woah...

This was a great way to get into the series if only because of that "tralala" song. That guy at the beginning is easily the best character in the entire show. I like how you do a recap because there are simply so many of these lengthy episodes it's hard to keep up! You showed a great deal of detail in this, especially with the wide shot of everyone in the town. The only thing that was missing was some action. If not for that, I would have given this a perfect 5.

This is still great because you have no clue what's going to happen next. It was weird how there was some spoken dialogue mixed in with just the words on the screen. The ending credits were just great, I wish there was more of that in the actual flash! I could not help but think you were influenced by Kirbopher's "TTA" series. Yeah, that's just wishful thinking.

Clovis15 responds:

I'm really glad you liked Fritz's Flashback sequence. Gaspar, the narrator, was first introduced because - thanks to College - the episodes were extremely far apart after I first took over. He then stayed around, even when things picked up a bit, because everyone loved him so much. I'm sorry that the series is often action lite, but in staying true to the original creator's vision - Cryokenetic - CTU is a primarily dialogue driven affair. I do try to spice it up with stuff every now and then, and Episode 25 in particular should have something particularly spicy in it that hopefully will be a "Thriller".

I love TTA, but I did not discover it until the summer of 2010... well after the time it had already died.

[Candy Hole #1]

It's the candy hole!

Seeing as how this was the first episode, I was thinking this would show how the cat and rabbit got into the candy hole. Of course, it shows that in the intro anyway. The animation of this series is just great with how ridiculous the characters looked with their superimposed teeth and brains. I thought it was really funny how they tore the guy's arms off. He was about the only thing that was not made of candy, but it would not have mattered anyway. All the candy they ate bled like that guy did!

The set is easily the most enjoyable part of this series. As this is the introductory episode, there is not much that goes on, but it does introduce the characters well. It's too bad this series did not become that popular on this website, but at least it got a high rating. It's nice to always identify you by name on your author & file information. I like how you can still see the brains in the animals' mouth.

[TomFulp Funnies!]

I don't think so

I am pretty sure that this is not the DOMOFlashVideos I usually think of. While I did like it how this managed to have some music, it still did not work out well because so little happened. I was expecting this to be like Tom Fulp porn or something. I am quite glad it was something different. The thing you guys need to work with is creating a background and having the characters move and not just have them being represented in square boxes. You should try to remove the box outline.

The good part was that it was kind of unpredictable. I did not see Jerry coming there from a mile away, but it was not that entertaining. It was hard to read at times. I thought for a moment there it said, "Tom Fulp with a foe" and not "Tom Fulp with a fox". Well, I suppose it would not matter if he considered a fox an actual foe.

[tit le]

Good spirit

I feel like one of those SNL skits where the guys misinterpret the title of something. I was expecting someone to make a "t*t le" joke. Anyway, while this did not have much effort, it is hard for me to hate because it is some standard stuff from the Clock Crew. Congradulations on being a member of such a popular crew. I suggest that next time, you should put some actual things where those words go. I guess the "words" part speaks for itself.

I guess this was supposed to be a satire or maybe it was just intended to be spam. Either way, I bet you had some fun with this, how long it took. You should also put in some music as even if you intend to make something silly, music is good. I suggest Weird Al Yankovic. The most admirable thing about this is the spelling is good.

[Professor Layton pt. 3]

Too hilarious

Of all the "Professor Layton" cartoons you have made, this is by far the funniest. I really liked how the dialogue kept going with the two yelling at the end, although that did eventually stop. In case anyone is wondering, the story was, "Once upon a time there was a baseball man named...". The animation is absolutely flawless and perfectly shows the ridiculous emotions of the characters. I love how there are just so many things going on at once. Like how there's a pixellated fire going around near a waste basket or something.

Granted, I have no idea what is going on at all, but that's how madcap comedy works. I love how the girl is so defenseless as she gets under the covers. It was really cool to cut away to those weird "Hangman" things and other designs. While not the most complex animation, the way these body parts just move around says it all. I love how he talked about a touchdown while discussing baseball.
