[Dad's at Work]

Exceptional!

Truely a masterwork, I am stunned. You sir have shown that quality flash animation is not dead. I salute you!

[Life Begins to Suck at 40]

Egad

Should I be alarmed that I'm beginning to experience a few of those things at 31? I always was mature for my age... great when you're younger, not so much now!

[Fuck off]

Ah, what the hell...

I'll score generously... made me laugh. A bit too quiet though.

[Taco Run]

WIIEEOOO!! WIIEEOOO!!

Breakin' tha law, breakin' the laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawww!

Perfect.

[Edutainment: Canadian Law]

Not bad

Amusing but not really funny, I guess it's the best you can do with such a mundane subject. I would recommend you add some music and up the overall volume, it's far too quiet.

[The History of Animation]

Not bad, but...

I completely disagree with your glazing over of the 80's, it was in fact probably the most important period in animation history since the golden age of the 30s-50s. During the 70s animation as an industry was in decline and at the end of the decade it was realized by marketing firms that toys would sell better if they could just hammer the brand names into kids' heads but they only had 30 second comercials to do it. The solution? Write a half hour toy commercial and vaguely disguise it as a cartoon! From this such iconic brands as Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man and Thundercats were born. Monetarily speaking it was the most profitable time for animation studios ever and many smaller studios sprang up to try and get a slice of the action. More people were producing more animation for television at this time than in any other period before or since.

cyberen responds:

ok sir, please do me the favor of editing the flash so the 80's are included, with all of those points you mentioned, and I'll put it up here post-haste!

[Totally Original]

One word: Dull

Seriously ho-hum. You guys need to work on your rant skills, this sounded more like a casual conversation had late some evening over coffee. The points you make are valid but they're hardly a revelation, "nothing new under the sun" and all that. Your comic stuff is reel purty though.
