Khicken Part One

"wait, what?"

submission: Khicken Part One
date: November 6, 2009

Started off alright. I thought this was supposed to be a straight up comedy with such an absurd idea. (bio-engineered chicken?!) When the kidnapper demanded the chicken so dramatically, thought that was intentionally funny. As it drug on after that, I realized we're supposed to take this thing a somewhat seriously. Not good.

The semi-serious tone of this piece makes the whole thing just weird. Character's didn't seem very interesting, and a lot of the writing felt . . . like it was writing.

I commend you for going through and finishing a concept you had, but this isn't working.

Thanks for the feedback that I honestly found really useful. I think you're right, it isn't really working.

PITCHMEN

"Awful"

submission: PITCHMEN
date: September 10, 2009

Pretty awful. Craptacular compositing, lame voice acting, and really little effort. You just sprinkled crap on the original trailer. If it was funny crap, I wouldn't have minded so much. Idea could have been funny, but execution ruined it.

Dick Neck: Origins

"wow"

I am thoroughly impressed. Normally, when a bbs-induced meme gets overblown, the results are usually pretty shoddy, but this was relatively awesome. The Unstable tactical nuke mascot killed me. Good job.

The Crew Talks Art

"Awesome"

submission: The Crew Talks Art
date: August 15, 2009

"Draw slowly. . ." That had me in stitches.

Cool little scene. Felt like this could be a part of a larger production/story. By itself it's charming and hilarious, but I see potential. Dragged just a tiny bit somewhere in the middle, but otherwise very good.

Funny stuff.

It's like modern art, except with actual technical skill behind it.

Midnight Visit

"Not bad, not great"

submission: Midnight Visit
date: July 17, 2009

The tension you build with the monster, and then just having him give a candybar was pretty nice., but why'd you have to use a name brand bar? Kind of ruined it for me. Would have liked to see something original here.

And speaking of originality, I couldn't help but be reminded of Adam Phillip's flash that has a similar premise and ends exactly like this.

Should try doing something that's a bit more your own.

July 17, 2009

Author's Response:

I was unsure whether or not to use a brand name, in fact I DID make it my own to start with, but then I thought a mrGoodbar was just too funny, I suppose next time I should go with my first intinct, I'm on the same page with you about keeping it original though so thanks for letting me know!

The Ballad of CrippleKane

"Wow"

date: June 29, 2009

That was really nice, man. Imaginative & fun. The graphic look was also done very nicely. Akin to the KFP opening scene.

Kudos.

Doug Funny Fight !!!

"Funny"

date: June 29, 2009

Awesome pick up line, and pretty decent effect. Doug's punch looks really awkward though. Overall cool and good for a laugh.

Also, for something this terse, a preloader is in order.
