[I hate MAC ads]

Love It

This really brings light to how douchy Mac ads are. The graphics are good, the sound is good quality and the voice acting is good, and the concept alleviates some of the frustration from watching those ads.

Thanks man.

Also, sorry this review is so short. The animation was simple, so my review was too.

Funny

I think the best part was the voice acting. The squeaky English voice was great, and better than that was the lack of rhythm in which you spoke. The graphics and animation (and spelling) were bad, but I doubt I could have enjoyed it if they had been any better. The demographic you're describing is portrayed perfectly. Insta-10.

[Professor Layton pt. 6]

Didn't Like It

The graphics and animation were pretty bad, but I have the feeling if it were better animated I might have enjoyed it less. The audio quality wasn't the highest; at some points a bit of white noise crept into it which was a bit annoying.

The concept itself gave me a headache... It was stupid and spastic and not particularly funny. I get you were going for some kind of surrealist take on it, but it was just overdone. You don't seem to know where to stop... I found myself more annoyed than entertained, and the few times I did laugh was more because of something abstract and random than something that flowed into the storyline.

It just didn't do it for me.

Holy FUCK!!

Oh my god that was funny!!! The graphics were well done and the "calm" nature of the lines and fills (being more curvy than spiky) somehow made the ending less predictable. Very good work.

The sound was good, and the screaming was amazing, but the kid saying "I'm learning to read big people books" was incoherent. I had to watch it three times to understand that line, and even then a friend had to point it out for me. It sounded like "I'm learning to read b?? people books" and I couldn't tell what the hell was going on.

The concept was brilliance. It gave me a big giant "WTF" to ponder for several seconds. The only problem was that the adult stood there for about a full second before biting the kid, which took away the mystique a little bit. The quicker the ending was the more "WTF" value you get. However, if you tested it with different pauses I can see how you might have chosen the length of pause you did.

[The Hard Way]

It Was Clever... And That's All

It was funny, and the expressions were better than most of the skits, but it lacked something... The end was surprising and clever, but not that funny, but the most important thing you left out was buildup. You didn't have many pauses, you could have made more suspense, or more evidence to support anything but the surprise ending.

[Sad Larry]

Loved It!

It would be nice if it were a bit longer, if only to show some more graphics or backgrounds. Maybe a shot of a window so you got something a bit more vival going on outside or subtly.

The animation was pretty good, but the tears were tweened kind of crudely... It would have been nice if his plate had been visible as his face collapsed, maybe showing the tears flow in some kind of pattern or around the plate like a dam. Nothing extensively distracting, but it could have had more.

The concept was pretty good. Although it was short and only had one joke, it was big and dramatic, and it was set off like a firecracker. Good work.

[No Brainer]

:D Funneh

Not as good as the other ones, though. The voice acting seemed a little stoic to me, it was short, and there were only like two jokes. It's okay to make a short skit, but you need to make sure there are lots of jokes to make up for it.

[Beer Run!]

Wicked

I loved the skit. The voice acting was superb... It sounds like you put time directing, cutting, and perfecting each line. The graphics were pretty good... The car was especially well done. The colors were vibrant and... Colorful :P The storyline was pretty badass, too.

I don't know what to say about the middle of it, though. After he hit the second person in the car, it got kind of predictable. Creative and still predictable, if it makes sense. It was still funny, but it got kind of ruined.

[Waiting for the Bus!]

Epic

What can I say? The graphics, though simple, have a cute and funny style to them. The animation is decent, and the storyline is intriguing. While graphics and animation could still be better, the concept is by far the most important part, and it's what had me laughing.

You do a great job of imitating other cinemas, and the cheesiness was pulled off pretty well. The music was synced perfectly and was done extremely well (probably the best part of the whole short), and the bus was a great exposition element as well as a little tag at the end.
