BiffTheTimid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Facebook Twitter]

I twittered about this, and a poop I just had

Once again you show your mastery of dialogue and lip-sync - and your roots in caricature always shine through in your characters. It's always a nice surprise to stumble upon a new submission of yours, so keep 'em coming. And yeah, twitter/facebook is ruining everything.

I thuroughly enjoy these

It's hard to really put a finger on exactly what you're going for with this series, but I'm going to go with a satire of a childrens learning program. Regardless, I find these compilations of short clips very entertaining. They range from lighthearted romp, to an exploration to the inner most workings of a haunted psyche. Whatever it is you're going for, I dig it. Keep up the good work.

[The Body Count]

That's some hot shit

You never cease to disappoint. Clean line-work, fluid animation, sharp humor, excellent voice acting. It's always a pleasant surprise to stumble upon a new animation of yours on the portal. Keep up the good work.

thanks biff!

[One More Brawl Taunts]

Definitely a miss

It's as if you knew that people didn't want this to be made, but you were hoping that if you packed in enough self-referential jokes, people would accept and love it like they did the first two. I think it's a good sign that if half your jokes are about how this shouldn't have been made, maybe you shouldn't have made it.

As with the first two, you took the idea of "taunts" (where you hit a button and taunt other players) and perverted it into a compilation of characters just doing any random thing you could come up with to get a cheap laugh. We're all guilty of that to some extent, but when the entirety of your movie is just that, it is not only unfunny, but agitating as well.

The rest of the movie is based off of simple observations about the game, but what blew my mind this time around is that a lot of jokes were made on obeservations-OF-observations, i.e. Meta-knight is cheap. As for the animation, I don't even need to bring up the fact that it was poorly done, so that's all I'll say. All in all, I think myself, and a great deal of newgrounds is glad that it's finally finished. Since I see there was sincere effort put into this (as misguided as it was), I'll still give this a four. I hope your future endeavors hold much higher standards than this.

[Patchman:Simple Pleasures]

It gave me a good chuckle

Very short and simple. Smooth animation, it went well with the music, and I found it funny. iDrops was a good touch. Good short, keep 'em up. Unless that stops you from working on Exile.

RiverJordan responds:

Nah, well i was off of flash for the longest time because of College art portfolio's, sickness and japan trip, but im just now starting to get back on the flash horse and (trying to) power through exile! :D

But due to the longness of exile chapters, these lil shorts give me some temporary happiness as it takes sooo long to make.. exile.. chapters :D

Ok now i'm rambling XD

[Fatherly Bonds]

I dig your style

You've got a good grasp of color composition, and as you've proved in past submissions, you draw a lot of influence from classic beat em' ups. The inclusion of tom was a nice touch. I enjoyed this and I'll be sure to keep a lookout for new submissions.

[Run, Darnell, Run!]

Loved the Steam-boat Willy style

I can only imagine how long that took to animate. Lots of fbf action going on there. It was a good homage to the old cartoons, complete with the sort of "noodly" way the appendages are animated. I laughed at the Pico 2 Reference as well. Good stuff man.

[Pico V.s. Darkness]

Good Work

I liked it a lot. You used some sweet effects, especially with the gun fire. It ended kinda abruptly but I know what its like to work under deadlines, so it's not a big deal to me. Keep it up.

Hulalaoo responds:

HAHA THX, AND CONGRATS FOR WIN A SITE IN THE FRONT PAGE

[Pico 09]

You're going to have to expect some 0's

With this type of movie, some people are going to be offended. Hell, I was offended, but that's what makes it funny. Some people just need to relax and not take things so seriously. I literally cringed at the end, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Good work as per usual.

LazyMuffin responds:

Cringed? more like wished it was you, pfft.
THANKS.
