Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PirateClock v, Anticlocks]

Mildly entertaining

Woah, I had no idea there was another Clock holiday called Pirate Day or AntiClock Day! That being said, this was fairly mediocre because it had a lot of characters but they did not do much. I like how you used the fat Sephiroth as a symbol for the gay clocks. One thing I'm wondering, if they're all gay men, why not throw in some women to make it straight? Anyway, this was as goofy as any other Clock Crew flash. I was expecting something more about religion granted your clock name.

Some of it was lazy, like how the one yellow clock just randomly flew himself around the screen. There were some good ideas like the sword shaped like a penis. As random as this thing was, it did manage to have more of a plot than other clock stuff. The animation in the intro looked so good! I really wish you would have used that for the entire thing!

[It Whoopzilla!!!]

Whoop!

I think this footage may in fact be from the first Japanese Godzilla movie. That is known for being the best in the entire series. Normally, I am not a fan of these submissions where it's basically one short joke, but this was an exception. In fact, the only thing that kept me from liking it more was that you did not put in the Shoop Da Whoop sound! It is great to see footage from a classic Godzilla movie. It is also neat how you included a list of all the other flash cartoons you have made.

Sometimes it is not enough to just mention them, but also show screenshots of them! It's hard to say more, because this really works well in how brief it is. The footage itself just looks so good and in no way campy or cheesy. That atomic bomb scene is pretty popular, isn't it? This is funny because Godzilla himself is supposed to be a metaphor for the atomic bomb.

Psychopath responds:

No it's not, it's from the first one made in the '90's; specifically, it was Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah [1991]. The first Godzilla movie was made in the fucking '50's and was in black and white.

[Pee Soup]

Pee?

For a momen there, I thought you were going to make a joke about pea soup. I simply love this cartoon and think it is one of your best. This is probably because you guys just make fun of yourselves so much. Like, what are these guys doing in a house doing all these disgusting things and why would any of them ever want to drink pee in the first place? The funniest part was probably when the black man turned into a realistic woman with a sandwich. The part with the dancing naked people was great too.

Farts and poop are always funny when you randomly put them in stuff. It was also a treat to see everything going in reverse back to the guy who was sucking the woman sandwich or whatever. The animation is as great as ever. Even the joke parts of it with the second naked guy were well done. Thank you guys for having such a great time with yourselves and never losing your goofy sides.

[I Love Dogs]

Puppy!

I have to admit that it was really cool to see an ending where the poop went back into his anus. From what I heard, you actually do crap your pants after you die although that dog wasn't wearing pants anyway. The sad thing is that the dog would have crapped over everything regardless of what he had done. The animation was pretty good. There could have been some more action and more jokes. It still does a good job of delivering what you would expect in a cartoon about a dog not taking a crap.

It seemed like you were going for a Ren And Stimpy angle with how you were exagerrating the body movements. There was little time for personality other than that this guy doesn't like crap. The closeup of the dog's anus was a bit unnecessary. While not great, this is worth watching if only for the rewinding part at the end. It could perhaps use some better shading.

[Happy Birthday Tord]

You too

I guess it's kind of silly to review something for someone's birthday after it's been so long. I am sure Tord enjoyed it (boy is that a weird name). The best thing about this is that you used that awesome song and no, I do not know who wrote it either. The one bad thing was that it was kind of jarring to see everything in black and white. Still, there were tons of great things like the random guy in "Scanners" or the zombie at the end. The Monty Python music was pretty funny at the end, too.

Walt Disney freezing himself is an urban legend, but Ted Williams did in fact freeze himself? I guess it's hard to find things that rhyme with Williams. While not the best animation, you still managed to really try to give your characters depth in the little time they had. The drawings themselves were very good. Gee, it's kind of sad knowing that he's now about five years closer to death.

[Feed Your Head 2]

There was good and bad

The good thing about this was that it was so amazingly non-sequitor. I had no idea who half the characters were or what they were doing. I do know that Mao Zedong is so famous that he should be in a lot more Newgrounds submissions! The cat was probably the best character and I liked the way the little ticker things stood out. They're the parts of the clock that moves (I think they're called the hands). It definitley had creative and an unexpected conclusion.

I did, however, not like it how the sound just seemed so off. I could not really understand what any of these characters were trying to say. I guess as it is supposed to be goofy it does not really matter. There was definitley some swearing in there. Improve on that and maybe add some more humor all around and you guys could make it better.

[Don't Flush Magnets]

Now that was crazy

Nearly everything you guys work on seems to at least get a rating of over 4.00. This had a lower rating than that, but it still managed to be really good. I was thinking that you were going to reference the "F*cking Magnets, How Do They Work?" meme. This was great to watch because it was completely random. Were the birds going to pluck out the giant breasts or were they going for the crabs or whatever the other things were? You guys have a great spirit about how silly you are.

You had no idea what was going to happen next. Seriously, if you thought that dropping magnets down a toilet resulted in breasts appearing in this cartoon, I would have called you crazy. It seemed as though the water seemed to be going away at first. I then realized I should focus my attention on the much bigger thing of the boobs everywhere. Thank you for making this short, but sweet.

DestructoBox responds:

While it's actually a lake full of dead fish, the idea of a boob lake is very intriguing.

Thanks for the review

[Cat Face ep.22]

No award?

This is a great cartoon because it is a great commentary on nostalgia and its place in our minds. In fact, I was just watching some stuff featuring the "Nostalgia" Critic right now! Anyway, what's impressive is that while this did not have a lot of action, it had great animation. Every single room and object is well detailed. I expect nothing less from two of the greatest animators on this website! The funniest part was definitley when CatFace looked through his photo album and saw all those funny pictures.

He's hilarious with an afro, you know? The part with the old timey Cat Face featuring TrunkCat was well done as well. I think that CatFace's advice at the end was probably the best that he has ever given. I love the look he gets in his eyes when he opens one of the boxes. I wouldn't mind having a Wampa thing myself.

[TOFUZILLA1]

Tofu?

I could have sworn that I saw this before, but maybe it was just a demo or something. This was really cool to watch because it had a great sense of adventure and action. The animation really made it. While it was not the most original of ideas, it still had a lot of things going for it. As there is no dialogue, you are really allowed to let the action do the talking and in something driven by good animation, that really works. The best part is probably when she fires that white ball at the chamber thing.

I really have no clue at all what is going on in this cartoon, but niether do I in a lot of other ones. The animation style was authentic and there was so much detail put into it. This was also a great use of colors and shading as everything looked so unique. Now that I think about it, I think I have in fact heard of that graphic novel before. While not that long, it manages to be really cool and fun.

Hey thanks for the review. You put a lot of thought into it.

[TTA Episode 060.5]

Guess who?

Well, it's great to see that you have once again shown up on the most popular list of voted stuff here. It is absolutely AMAZING that you did this all without winning a single award. What is wrong with these people? I guess their opinion just got better as it went along. This had fantastic animation especially Kagemorou merged with Kirbopher, or merged with yourself should I say. I loved the animation especially with how the characters showed their expressions.

This is probably going to be the only time I ever see myself with dialogue in this series. I wish I could have gotten a microphone before to at least record some dialogue. It makes me wish you could have made the rest of the series like this. This series did manage to be absolutely fantastic and I was so glad to be a part of it! It is so weird to look back and see that you originally worked on entirely serious stuff!
