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.

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.

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.

"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.

Couple spots had me laughing. Most notably the whipping scene. Pretty funny stuff.

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.
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!

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

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.
