[TMNT: It's just a mask!]

Another "It's just a mask" animation? Oh how original!.

Honestly I can't wait until this lame ass trend dies. It's like that harlem shake bullshit all over again.. except now it's contaminating newgrounds. The original joke wasn't even that great. it was amusing but nothing special. Bowz has made far better stuff in the past. Grims animation was ok... sort of milking the joke but still a different take i suppose. Then there was ricepirate's which was kind of dull and didn't really add anything new. Then and there is where the joke died... but of course all the douche-bag animators on the internet had to grab on to this and start making their own lame, unfunny versions. They just couldn't let it go, I mean it's perfect right? It's quick, requires minimal animation and you can gain more exposure via Bowz's popularity. I mean "It's all in good fun" why wouldn't you want to make one?.. you know, aside from the fact that internet fads are total shit and this one is no exception. Just like other internet fads it's become a cancer.

I suggest not jumping on bandwagons in the future. People will think less of you because it's just a lazy, uncreative thing to do. you can call it good fun. but i'll call it garbage content.

Thanks for your opinion Jamal! You have the right idea, except you're incredibly negative and biased about it. :) I appreciate you being the deciding factor for when jokes are relevant or not ( I have a very busy school schedule and don't get to animate as often as I'd like). But still, thanks for letting us know what you call "garbage", and I call collaborative fun.

Very funny, I really like the writing in this. I especially liked the talking penguin gag for some reason. My only criticism is just that I'm not a fan of the jagged line work or the character anatomy but over all I really liked it.

[Mario Plays Flappy Bird]

To be honest this seems like another one of those uncreative animations attempting to Ride the coattails of a cancerous internet phenomenon, which I am really getting quite sick of. I'm sorry but I find the concept of this piece to be painfully uninspired. The joke is based around 2 very obvious observations 1. flappy bird is hard and 2.."Da pipes in flappy bird look lyk da ones in mario herp derp". I must of heard it a million times already. It really is a shame because I thought the art was very clean and animation was pretty good as well but that doesn't compensate for everything else. sorry.

[Badly Drawn Christmas]

Well the title told no lies. it was badly drawn as promised. I didn't find it very funny or entertaining at all. the crude, childish visual jokes throughout it reminded me of silly gross scenarios kids used to come up with in primary school. maybe i'd find this funny if i was 9... but i'm not, so you get 1&1/2 stars, for animation and effort only.

Very nice... animation was good. the line work was clean, the character design and style was appealing and I enjoyed the story too.. however I'm going to start taking points off for this because I'm sick of it, There was no reason this had to be a video file. It should have been a flash. If you can avoid uploading a video file, you should. A crisp and clear flash is far superior to any video file. sorry bud.

TheLazerSofa responds:

alright, ill keep that in mind for next time..
also thanks! (:

[Apple's Shocking iPhone]

Artwork has been fucked over by shitty compression. -5
Linking to smosh. -5
Can't even insert a working pre-loader. -5

-15 / 5 (no stars). lowest quality flash I've seen in a long time.

[Barbershop]

I don't think much of the animation but your story telling and delivery of jokes makes up for it.

[Snow Hare]

Every now and then here on newgrounds I find something that makes me feel like a horrible person for only drawing/animating stupid shit. something that makes almost every thing else on here seem completely meaningless and insignificant. this is one of those those things. I can see you've put a lot of work into this film, in fact it's more than just a film.. It has a much deeper meaning to it and not like the kind of meaning those bullshit "artistic" hipster films claim to have. It makes me feel so many different things at once and I just can't say that about many other films at all. it's so well done, so powerful and I'm grateful to have experienced it.

Thank you for sharing this amazing piece of art with us all.

[Salad Fingers 10]

The 2.5 stars are for animation and effort only. I seem to be the only person that can't find any entertainment value in this at all. Am I missing something here? (srsly anyone? pm me if I am). I kept waiting for it to go somewhere.. for a punchline, a message, a clever ending, ...something... but nope nothing. Then I watched some of the other episodes.. they're all like this. I'd heard a lot of positive things about this series and was disappointed. It seems it just tries to be as weird as possible and alienate the viewer. Where's the value in that? what is the reason behind the praise? is it due to people thinking writing completely weird, random and illogical things is challenging? because I don't think it is at all. I've always believed the challenge in writing was in creating relatable characters and an engrossing story. It seems you've purposely done the exact opposite.

Are you serious? this isn't youtube.
