Title says フポンジ Should be スポンジ 

Is what I would have said if i'd posted my review before reading through the rest of your words. Well done. You got me to look up an uncommon kanji that means penis. *Slow clap*

Oh, I get it now. Had to read the comments before it clicked. I'd almost say that escalated too quickly, it felt like nonsense non-sequitar. I didn't even laugh. But I give you 3 stars for the somewhat clever use of language.

It was nice for an advertisement.

WaldFlieger responds:

WHAAA?!!!

First off this made me very happy, Ronald Jenkees needs more exposure like this. Secondly I actually enjoyed the singer, maybe it was just the fact that Jenkees' music is actually being used but the rapping was decent. Thirdly I feel the animator didn't really know how they wanted to end this video because the ending was very lazy reusing animations coupled with a cliche conclusion to a much more deserving climax.

This joke may be old and drawn out, but woah the references were coming lightning fast.

Did anyone else notice?

Not a waltz. It was 4/4 time.

Otherwise, very good re-invent at the widely popular Rawest Forest.

Furries:

The greatest threat to mankinds continued existence.

Humor has always been spot on and with this flash, horror was top notch, albeit a little confusing how they were able to knock on his house and get away the time he rushed to the door. But as it was a single isolated incident and the flash didn't hang on the question, in fact, by ignoring it altogether and letting the audience worry about the unexplained was instrument in the mystery/fear that was building. By the time the man found King in the woods, you'd peaked in horror, so the twist was icing on the cake for me, not a deal breaker like other people have mentioned in their reviews.

Not very entertaining.

The artwork was creative and moving. The voice acting was very interesting too. And I believe the extent of the like/dislike reviews is centered around the message, that multimedia entertainment is a mechanism for brainwashing. Here's my review on the message, and why i voted as I did, based on two hypotheticals.

First, if the message is sincere, the logic breaks down when you attempt to connect the act of "Thinking" about anything to perceptions of things, or in this case consciously changing and manipulating those perceptions via multimedia. This is the disconnect from the premise that multimedia brainwashes, to the alluded points of dangerous or sinful acts, such as murder. That there is no causal link between video game violence and actual violence is proof enough to disprove the premise, even if the logic is accepted.

But because of the voice acting and word choice, I find it more believable that this is either a idle animation work, or a satirical one.

The problem I have with this angle is the misrepresentation of the issue. For those who sincerely believe that video game sex or violence is causally related to deviance in those areas, and especially so for youths, hearing the choir sing words they already are brainwashed with doesn't help bring light; in fact the only people who could enjoy this film without being scared shitless are people who already know that video game violence is conservative bullocks. A good spoof or satire shows what is ridiculous about a position clearly, which this does not do at all.

The bulk of my score, 6/10, is earned from the artistic merit, but not for the message, comedic or not. The sincere message is indefensible and the comedic message is in bad taste.

akoRn responds:

ok.

I can't say much.

Non sequitur humor is always hit or miss. We can't all save money on Geico. I get that. I personally didn't find it funny either. But in terms of artistic merit, mirror-reversing the runner's number is kind of pathetic in a flash so short as this. I can't fathom why it would be done intentionally; the purpose of this flash was to create an atmosphere and then change it at the last second. Because of that, i'm giving the flash an overall 6/10; 3/5; A lot of points lost for something so minute, just because it's such a large part of the extremely short short. LEWL NON SEQUITUR I SAID A LOT.

Blakant responds:

if u realize, the number is mirrored frm the very scond the movie start, u should relaize it was intentional... i love to make random stuff, so that is part of it... sry if u dont realize all that

This was amazing.

The animation and music were amazingly well done. I'd be surprised to learn how you might feel the sprites didn't act as they should, maybe referring to riding the big bubba in the mario water level? It was very fluid.

As to what everyone is saying about crossing over various games, my own take on it can be summed up as this: making bad games good by increasing the powerups or something would be aweome. Making nostalgic/easy games easier would probably just be boring.

Hey hey. Planning to upload some music. If not, maybe just hang out, Go Newgrounds!
