I'm a critic, using my appreciation for composition and performance in music to help Flash artists here. I also try to provide some interesting points of view. I don't animate and I don't intend to. I'm also not perfect.

Loved the style, the animation is great, and whatever you did to distort the music worked well. The ending was hilarious.
"Funeral March of the Marionettes" was written by Charles Gounod a very long time ago. He should be mentioned somehow, whether in the animation's profile or along with the title of the piece at the end of the animation.

Yeah.
But I was in such a rush to finish this off, I didnt even bother. At least he can't sue me!

Best. Parody. Ever.
I'm a huge fan of the original, and now this one. Of course, I'm not surprised, as I couldn't expect any less from the creators of "The BINGE-erbread Man."
What a great day for Flash, eh? You guys are making this wonderful time so much better!

You finally made it! That was great. Among many things, I loved the Tecmo Bowl reference and the "That wasn't funny" Woogy scene. That was unexpected. You sure have come a long way- your well-done changing facial expressions on this one make the thing so much better.
The ending kicked ass.
Congrats, man.

You're spot on with this remake! My only gripe is that you couldn't send us all a free trackball to play this with! Why???

Wonderful graphic style, intuitive controls (except on a stupid laptop touch pad), great animation... There's really nothing wrong with this game, it's really fun!
The presentation is great also. It doesn't look like one of those cookie-cutter low budget games, it looks like a console game or at the very least, an addictive paid-for Windows game. Thanks for making this free, dude.
...and no, I don't think that you should turn your game into a Star Wars knockoff... good lord...
Author's Response:
Thanks a lot. I actually used a laptop touch pad while making it.
Glad you think its good enough to be paid for :) Neon II will be even better ;)
And you you don't need to worry about the star wars thing.

For those of you who vehemently oppose this flash, go check out his history. This guy is a hilarious animator, discovered by David Firth after doing his Salad Fingers parody.
Jerry is a formula writer. He always sticks to a certain way of making these flashes. Especially hilarious parts are when he talks about other things than the flash inside the flash, like about his next flash movie or his friends. You know from seeing his work that he's not a dumb kid, but he perfects the style of dumb-kid flash.
This is one of his funniest, and it's really freakin' long! Hopefully Jerry will know when to change his formula a bit, because soon enough we'll see enough of this style.

Your flash itself is amazing. You switched drawing and animation styles to fit the scenes, and you had some great dialogue in there. The ending was especially great...
Now, about your argument though... Look at the top list! Adam Phillips, Ola Bergner, James Farr, Vinnie Veritas, SamBakZa... all those guys do their own things, they aren't anything like LF. I don't see LF anywhere. People aren't that fazed by that stuff any more. We all know that he's not funny, and the votes have spoken.
Yes, those characters are stolen and overused, but how many movies have bashed LF? Everyone followed in the footsteps of Piconjo. It's a dead topic. He sucks, but we haven't really heard much from him in a long time, and there are plenty of other bastards to pick on. He'll have his fans, and no one wants to talk to them, so why not just leave them alone, while you make amazing animations like this one and blow us away?

You're like a ridiculously talented, nationalistically motivated, and more tasteful version of Jox McRox... and I like Jox McRox!
Well done, sir, well done.
By the way, that folk tune is used in a very standard piece for concert band. I think my band geek friends would get a kick out of this.

That was great. This is your best right here. The art style was top-notch, and there weren't any graphical "seams" to disconnect the viewer from the animation.
How the hell did you get that sound? Is that actually a produced music track or is that electronics work you did yourself?
Author's Response:
The sounds/music is something I sleepily stuck together at 4 in the morning in FruityLoops.
