[Stickman Can't Fight 2]

A new original comedy.

Concept: a sequel to the first about a stickman who can't fight. While the first one was lacking I'm pleased to say this is a decent improvement from the first. Despite how painfully sshort these are I'm looking foward to the next installment.

Humor: Definately the highlight of the flash, while the action is lacking, hence the title. The comedy is pure gold, people may give raised eyebrows at that last sentence but I'm a sucker for well executed physical and pop culture humor. After seeing that matrix fail I had to contain my burst of laughter at 1 am in the mornin.

Improvements:
Although you atre already improving I would just like a lengthier flash. Of course ultimately it's your call. I could see the idea that a longer drawn out flash of this series might not have comedy that may be as memorable. but in the end I don'r care cause, YOU FUNNY.

Verdict:
Despite how painfully short these the comedy here is well worth it and well done for a 2 minute flash. guitan11 seems fairly new and already has me hooked on this new comedy. Keep it up and I'll definitely be on the look out for your next sequel as well as your other works.

7/10

3/5

guitan11 responds:

well... you really put a lot of effort into this review, huh? well thanks a bunch. i like getting criticized. makes me want to get better to shut people up (not you, people who just talk smack ;D ) and thanks for the elaborated review..... you lowered my score though >.<"

[Sonic Gut Feeling]

not bad, but it's been done before

Animation: while i appreciate the animation, your style seems to transition and some scenes looked like a straight copy of sonic in a pose slightly edited. I guess i could overlook this but that wouldn't help you as an artist.

Comedy: I think the whole tails being useless could've been executed better, but your direction did get the point across. The problem is this is pretty much the main joke of the flash and it wasn't "funny" funny. It's just funny cause it true in some people eyes. (sonic unleashed, sonic the hedgehog 2)

Also i think that last joke with chris from Sonic X-tremely stupid, should've been the focus of this flash in my opinion. Surprisingly people rarely parody chris in NG flashes but I'm glad you did even though its was very brief and not quite satisfying.

6/10

3/5

kalabor106 responds:

I'll agree, wish I did more with Chris. Well maybe next time Chris will take center stage ;) Thanks for the honesty and constructive review.

[MvC3: Iron Man]

the (2nd) best MVC3 parody

It was funny the first three times,but after a while its only worth a smirk. And the fact that MvC 3 Dante dominated this doesn't help either, whether it was really about Dante or not. The fact is They broke the rules and look what happened.They got #1 of all time, whether they truly deserve it or not.

As for this flash personally I think the reason this scored better was because Johhny Utah knows his Iron-man and captured his personality perfectly and even though he kinda did the same thing it was executed differently with a nice ending jesture. And I'm sure his animation style and "physics" on the ladies was a definite plus also.

in short:This is funny,but its been done with wolverine,hulk(more disturbing),and she hulk(EVEN more disturbing)

( Morrigan definitely doesn't look bad in mvc dante version either but at least the jokes are refreshing from the usual "Hi I'm rehashing the same joke style and here's why you should buy mvc3.")

7/10 stars
3/5 picos

JohnnyUtah responds:

you sir are a strange fellow. facts be damned, you will make your review known.

[The Facebook Poke War]

Grea job and congrats.

Even though you say no one cares (sad but true) that doesn't mean you don't deserve props. I mean you could have gone to the dark side like many users and try to win the "shit of the week" award. I like the some-what classic cartoonish(looney toons) style of slapstick you had in this flash. Hell if it wasn't for bugs bunny where would cartoons be? The animation was nice too, however I think the timing of the music could've been improved and more sound effects would make it more lively, but thats it.

overall you did well not much I can say outside of nitpicking (such as too short but thats the point,lol).

I will say that facebook has created one of the most annoying/useless features in entertainment, but I guess it isn't that useless after all since you turned it into a bronze medal.

3 picos out of 5!

WooleyWorld responds:

I dig the looney toon style.

Thanks for the thoughts.

[Nerds can never love]

A More deserving #1 flash than dot,dot,dot

After reviewing a disappointing Mvc3 flash by Rice pirate, I was treated with a pleasant surprise when I found out his talents were incorporated into the #1 flash of all time! And compared to "Nerds Can Never Love" he was pretty much BSing.

I loved this from begging to end period. *ponders* ok I can't be that bland so I'll go in depth, The art was cool and had the valentine feel to it and the brief interaction the 2 nerds had was awesome. I was expecting them to play a video game together or something but the execution you done was way funnier. There weren't many jokes in it but thats what makes it so unique, And the timing of that last joke at the end was just perfect and I had to appreciate it with a well deserved laugh.

5/5 Keep it up Mike and Ockeroid

Ockeroid responds:

Don't forget Kimlinh!

Thanks!

[MvC3: She-Hulk]

Don't follow the herd, be the black sheep.

If your doin this just to be doing it thats cool which means none of these should be takin seriously, afterall it is a parody. But since humor is your only weapon you need to make sure its the equivalent of a freakin Nuke ready to kill all viewers with side hurting heart stopping laughter. Unfortunately this parody doesn't deliver that and even compared to the mediocre ones done by another author this is the worst in terms of delivery, and overall there was little humor. The transsexual jokes definitely missed their mark, and the animation was crap compared to your other flashes.

I'm sure your defense is most likely "I just did this for fun, and didn't really care if this entertained an audience or not." And thats fine with me, but I'm sure a little more brainstorming on the jokes wouldn't be that hard. Me personally I would've went with a joke that would have she hulk asking the audience to donate money to help Hulk speak normally and show a clip of hulk being teached in a normal school but going insane afterward or something like that. it may sound like a lame concept but execution is the most important thing, which is lacking greatly in this flash.
2/5

RicePirate responds:

I'm fine with folks not liking it... but for those who didn't see Tom Fulp's Hulk entry... i don't think they really get what I was aiming for.

[LL - 99 Red Balloons]

No one has said it yet so I guess I have to...

*WARNING: DIE HARD SONIC FAN COMMENT*

Props to the sonic unleashed music, Sonic rules, sonic kicks ass and your company rules for using it in your logo advertisement.

*SONIC FAN BOY COMMENT OVER*

*clears throat* As for the flash itself the concept art is just brillant and I'm jealous of you for it because I've been trying to create ORIGINAL characters and stories. And I come acoss these unorthodox characters with locks for eyes no hands and have inanimate objects for bodies.....and IT WORKS! Just youre originality is like a rich boy mocking me for making what I desire looks so easy than it actually is, but in a good way...if that even made sense... I love how something so bland and ordinary come become awesome and original. In my opinion you have just open a whole new relm of creativity for all who has viewed this, fuck the stereotypical tough guy, or the over sexualized girl who's a badass. Just buy some canned soup and examine your door knobs and draw.

Originality= 10/10

Animation should have be a little sped up sometimes I felt like when the real epic parts of the song came up the action missed it by "that" much. However It was a pretty well done action scene and even with the blood and gore I could still see children being allowed to watching this because of how random and uncommon(and by uncommon I mean ORIGINAL) the characters are.

On a side note: the music sounds just like the music from bubble bash (cellphone game) which I thought was kinda cool.

Most original characters I've ever seen so far on newgrounds keep up the great work and hopefully I can look foward to more of these unique flashes from you

5/5
9...fuck it, 10/10

LeafLock responds:

Well, thank you so very much for the well thought out review. I have gotten a few comments on the speed of the action, and I do honestly agree, but as I've said, it's my first flash like this, so I've learned to do better in the future. And as much as I'd love to claim originality on the characters....well....

(Altough I DID design my character, Leaf, from the ground up.)
We don't call ourselves the lock LEGION for nothing. :3

Never the less, I really appreciate your support, and I hope I've introduced you to the lovely world of the Lock Legion. Not all our flash are gems, but we do have some truly great ones.

[Halo Reach: Armor Locked]

Wow, thats some moral...I think?

I've already noticed even without your own input that you really transformed this from a humorous parody to a attempt to pull at the heart strings. In the beginning of the Armor Lock initiation I was like: "LOL"

battle was over and still in AL:"hahaha"

weeks passed to weeks: hehehe, wow the music is really getting sad."

months passed to months: (tempo of depressing music increases) hehehe?

years passed to years:O_O Wow he's really trying to make us feel his pain from armor lock spammers.

The way you had the flash evolve from a harmless comedy to a emotional flash, to me..it doesn't make feel like I should take it more seriously. In fact it seems like you were still attempting humor, as though you were conveying what an armor lock spammer goes through if it was real life. So with that analysis I'm really sure which way I'm suppose to view this flash, even though you have stated the desired reaction. That the flash was meant to be taken as a serious flash, but it kinda leaves me with intermixed feelings, should I really care for the guy or should I say "Jackass, lol you so deserved to see the reaction of your son. Your neglectful, over competitiveness has blinded you!"

Either way the message is pretty complicated since it wasn't a gradual transition in this scenario. So the message you would like to get out to everyone will possibly be overlooked since the mood transitioned to fast. If I were in a theater I'd probably here a mixed crowd of:
"hahaha's"
"hahaha's? (nervous laughter)
"wow, all that cause he spams? Thats kinda sad"
And "Whatever, but this has inspired me to spam armor lock some more!" :)

Love the animation, the attention to detail and for sharing how you feel about AL spammers through an extreme and hazy message that's as confusing as trying to make the conclusion of INCEPTION clear with one variable.

DoomzDayChikn responds:

while I appreciate your deep thoughts on it, and detailed emotional breakdown of it, the story was plain and simple: He stayed in armor lock for so long that he missed the birth of his son, and even moreso, missed the boy's childhood.

[SHOCK4: DE]

Mislead the hell outta me in a good way.

At first I thought you were another one of those assholes trying to mislead fans and steal Terkoiz1 animation credit. I was about to blam your ass in a heartbeat, luckly I understood that your flash was a parody, and I don't know if I'm just easy to entertain but it did give me a chuckle. This parody of an awesome series attempted to be funny and to me it did exactly that. While not a very good job with animation, the author's work clearly shows that wasn't his attempt. If it was then this flash definitely doesn't deserve front page but I don't think thats what Tom Fulp's reason was to giving this guy front page, it was the comedic side of the flash that most likely influence his decision and rightly so. Good job unblatherartistic way to say fuck the critics and the fans with this flash, I gotta give you props you attemted humor with about a series with a good following and you succeeded . 3/5
Everyone else needs to stop taking this seriously and take it for what it is a comedic parody it's not gonna appeal to everyone but at least give it a fair review.

ugblahtheartistic responds:

wow, that made me feel really great. Thanks, this is one of those gems of reviews that authors get on a flash. I really love how you expressed you opinon.

+1 person finds your review helpful :3

[Bloody Sundae]

moral of story: Don't be a dumbass

this was great, I will admit the audio is a bit out of control i had to turn the volume half way up at the beginning of the flash just to hear that dumb B!tch talking to herself. aside from that everything else was great keep it up!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Pixmintro responds:

Shit I just editted the audio and updated it too :/
