[Destructo Box Christmas!]

Santa deserved it

Wow, the second short was really unexpected. I had no idea Santa was going to die, and I thought it was going to turn out like that old joke about a guy who was just dressed as Santa who was accidently killed. It was quite dark, but I have seen worse. Drat, this cartoon inspired me to now talk in verse. The animation was as decent as ever, and that intro just never stops being clever. It is great that you guys all contributed to this so well that I hope you have a Merry Christmas and your own great story to tell.

Thanks for the review dude!
Merry christmas to you as well ;)

[Holiday Stress]

Kyle Sullivan?

For a moment there, I thought you were the guy who did the "Shopping For Shoes" viral video. This was really fun to watch mostly because the animation was really good. I like to think the guy he kept calling "Knox" was melted by breathing on him because he was breathing heavily before he died. It would be strange for a snowman to have hot breath, but that's humor for you. I liked the voice work and thought the voices suited the personalities well. It was particularly funny at the end.

[Moolt-Christmas Surprise]

Good for him

I consider myself a sort of zany person, although I would probably spill coffee on my roommate if he did that too. While not that elaborate, this series works because the delivery is so good. The way you create the voices is absolutely perfect. I thought at first it was going to end with the Facebook references, but I am so glad it continued. It was worth it just to see how pitiful he was falling to the ground. I hope that you have a very merry Christmas and seriously, don't try out what this guy did.

[Sam Meets God]

Pretty unexpected

When I first heard of this title, I thought it was going to be something about Sam Harris (you know, the atheist). It then seemed like it was going to have Sam die and go to Heaven and meet God. I guess he did technically die, but not in the way I intended. It could have had some more laughs, but still fairly watchable, especially the part with the lungs shooting themselves with drugs (and guns). The animation seemed really similar to the Spumco stuff by John K. It seems like it could make a good series, it already has a theme song!

[Real Life FPS]

Quite flashy (no pun intended)

I was confusing this at first with an actual game that showed you doing this. While I would have liked that better, this was still fun to watch because everything was really authentic. It was nice of you to submit something that features flash to this website when you guys could have only done it somewhere else. The blood effects were pretty good. My favorite part was probably when the gun had infinite ammo. This is really an off-the-wall video because you show guys surviving after getting shot several times.

[JojoVill Episode 07]

The mall?

I was a bit disappointed that the characters did not actually go into the mall in this one. It was still great to watch because it had all the random humor that makes this series great. The funniest part was either when it turned into a YouTube Poop reference or when there were all those cartoon characters appearing. I love how everything is ridiculous and there is no explanation for the crazy crap that goes on. How did this series go so long without being featured on the front page? At least you get the high ratings you deserve and I love the new animation!

[C. Crashing Corn Boss]

Pretty good

I was hoping this was going to be a game and to be honest, I probably would have preferred it if it was. This was still definitley a decent flash cartoon because the animation was good. It must have been awhile since I played any of the games because I was confused as to what was going on. Well, randomness can be really great especially when it gives you popcorn. My favorite part was probably when the chicken landed on the corncob at the end. It seems like we should have more orange characters, as that's my favorite color.

alfa995 responds:

I would make a simple CC flash game if I knew anything about Actionscript, but I don't, and learning enough to make a game would take a while, so I'll focus on animations for now.

[Hallow Statistic]

Very impressive

Boy, were there a lot of voice outtakes. Anyway, it was great to see where the A.E. series started, even though I am fairly certain this is in fact not the first chapter in the series. The other series featuring these guys was a lot lighter and goofier. It was interesting to see how these characters adjusted into a really dark environment. The animation is as great as ever, especially the fight scenes. You have put real emotion and personality into each of the character's voices and actions.
