hurrah!

but does it influence people?

Ooh, it's a pony...

I love this cartoon. Number 6 was kinda weak, but this was a nice rebound.

These guys are a bunch of whiners. That cartoon was great!

Are there any more of these cool flash shows going on, other than homestarrunner.com and that bob and weeble thing?
oh, yeah, and loservillex.com

?

I was unaware of this "making fiends" thing, but that was pretty damn "cool", therefore, if you don't like it that would make you "uncool"

Seriously, that was brilliant. Quality entertainment!

Amusing. Looks like someone put in lots of hard work. Colors look slightly trippy.

It's like Homestar Runner, but it's actually clever. I still don't quite *get* H*R.

This is great, and it's by an intelligent lady with gothic sensibilities. Of course, no match for "Mr. Wong"

I almost closed the page about halfway through. But man, was I ever glad that I stuck around for that surprise finish. Who'd have seen that one coming?

The girl sounds like she's supposed to be a crasser Dexter in a Powerpuff-ish world.

Not so bad, but the sugar cookie fiend better come back and start kicking some serious ass soon.

That was the worst Teen Girl Squad ever. Church didn't even get yelled at once!!!!

My anus is bleeding.

I hate the voices.

Mr. Milk?

I see a fat girls KFC stained fingerprints all over this.

No thanks. I'll stick to mooching pron on Kazaa Lite.

Just because you can animate in Flash doesn't mean that you should. The Wired web site has an animation section and I've yet to find more than one or two in there that were worth the time it took to watch them. This would fit in quite nicely with the bulk of the stuff on Wired.

WTF was that? I dont like to be mean and Im sorry if the animator is reading this but..... its not funny. No, not in the slightest. Every joke says "Im completely oblivious and I like everything!" Its like a Jessica Simpson that never gets PMS.

Sheesh, I applaud the effort (beats 90% of the flash crap out there), but still... I can never understand why people (at least people over the age of 10, maybe 12) think that cartoons that involve weak, stupid "good" guys always triumphing via nonsensical deus ex machinations over smart, mean "bad" guys always means the cartoon was palatable. Tom and Jerry being another great example -- Tom catches Jerry, but Jerry inexplicably pulls a giant (100x his own size) hammer out of his ass and pounds Tom? Yeh, it's a cartoon, but bullshiat is still bullshiat and "Making Fiends" stinks just the same.

It was at least stylized.. and kinda humorous at 4am.

wtf mate

Meh.

i dont understand how this is amusing at all. I mean, Strong Bad is infinity times more amusing (well, anything's more amsuing) and every time it's posted there's a huge flame war over it, hardly anyone's saying nay about this and it's utter crap!

From the writers of "Family Circus", and the autistic little brother of the animators of "Dexter's Lab", comes the newest web sensation... MAKING FIENDS!

This just proves once again that Macromedia is worse than Dancing Robot Hitler.

I want my three minutes back!!!! Flash in the wrong hands is a dangerous tool.

i think it ruled. you guys are just meanies.

I didn't even crack a smile throughout that whole dumb thing. Nice Mr. Garrison rip off on the teacher.

Are people not even trying to draw well in Flash now?

i've been up for 42 hours and have had 8 coffees, after watching this I want to hurt someone.

/must keep from. .... ....hu rt ting... muuust.

tweening was meant to free the mind for more creative endeavors.

/damn lack of stretch and distort

oh and the cartoon was cute, i liked it

I was going to say something quite negative about this, but then I saw that a girl made it.
I bet she was cute and nobody wanted to tell her that her cartoon sucked. Poor girl. Now she'll have to read about it on Fark.

I'd still bang her, though.

I enjoyed it.

So there.

It's the voice acting, I can't stand it.

I always thought www.wearerobots.com has some of the funniest flashtoons on the net. But thats just me.

Didn't like it? Make your own, and let's see whose is better.

I fully admit mine would suck just as bad as this one sucked.

Everyone's Collective Imaginary Friend

I'm a big fan of the Happy Tree Friends over at Mondo Media. They also have a dozen more cartoon series that I haven't even watched yet.

UnstoppableDrew
With what show should one start (so many there)?
And it doesnt work in my firefox :(

/activex sucks

That was the stupidest thing I've seen in quite some time. You should have to apply for a license to use flash.

"The power to make your own cartoons is easily available to all of us."

Oh, yea, verily. And the tragedy it hast wrought.

I've probably laughed out loud at an internet creation, be it article or cartoon, less than a dozen times in my entire internet experience. The web is a pit of not funny. This is no different.

Funny! I've never seen one of these before.

I think I just needed some stupid humor at 8:50 in the morning, though.

Well, I've only watched the Happy Tree Friends. Of the three episodes they link too off the toon page, 'Treasure These Idol Moments' is my favorite. If you sign up for their newsletter, they offer access to all the ones they've put out.

This toon has some brilliant bits and some very cliche bits. It's good, overall.

no offence to anyone, but that was the biggest load of crap. it should be burninated.

That was utterly un-funny. What a waste of time.

That I don't make animated shows makes that no better.

Don't you want to pet the puppy?

What the hell WAS that? I watched the first one to put it in context, and now this one, and wow. . .I really wanted to laugh, but that was terrible.

Happy Tree Friends? Funny.
Homestarruner? Hysterical.
Making Fiends? Unwatchable.

Everyone's Collective Imaginary Friend

I'd never heard of loservillex.com, but that was hysterical.

Ok, so finally I have another good flash site to add to my bookmarks. Kudos and thanks for the tip.

I like Making Fiends. Not as much as Weebl and Bob, about the same as HSR.

The animator has done other cartoons (Big Bunny and Muffin Films) which are pretty off-the-wall. Not laugh-out-loud hilarious, but quirkily amusing.

This one's pretty good.

Huh?

It's sad, really, that in a world of nearly unlimited content, the least valued thing is good writing. We've got all this STUFF everywhere - TV, Radio, Internet, print, etc. - and nobody seems to be able to write anything of quality.

Just because you CAN animate a flash cartoon doesn't mean you SHOULD.

(and don't give me the "where's your contribution" thing - I work on my "craft" every day.)

/grumpy today

feh.

I really thought this one was amusing. The cat was eating and shrinking ... and expanding everything!

Ok, Mr. Grumpy... if you want a good story head on over to WTF Comics for a good Everquest based (non-flash) comic. Even if you don't follow Everquest that closely, you can follow this one.

Yes, by the same girl who brought you Big Bunny. It was cute. My issue was the vocals, Maybe it is the way she records it but there is something about it that both hurts my ears and is hollow at the same time.

enjoyable. i mean, it's not gunna win any awards, but the animation is solid and they have a whole 'plot' thing, which they seem to stick to. Haven't seen this before, but it got a few chuckles out of me.

If it ain't your bag, it ain't your bag. No reason to be razzin' on it. Unless, you know, that's where you get your joy, razzin' on things.

I thought the songs were pretty hilarious. But I have a sense of humor that only a ten year old would fully understand, I suppose.

What is this, and why do they call it number 7? Is that the number of serious blows to the head I'll have to take to make it amusing?

worst cartoon ever.

That had such potential to be funny. Get rid of the broad and bring in Don Hertzfeldt, this cartoon needs an injection of funny, STAT.

weak.

Very Tim Burton-esque. Thumbs up.

Hey this might become the next Quiznos commercial!

Just because the cartoon doesn't look like HSR doesn't mean it's badly drawn/animated - it's her STYLE. Animation is an ART form, the sky's the limit here, people. And the Internet is a forum to share anything, on an unprecedented scale. It's there. Deal with it. If you don't like, don't watch. Simple.

Delightfully dark! The humor, we've all seen before (although I did laugh), but the entire set-up (the gloomy location, characters, even the whole premise) is just sublime. Took me a few episodes to get into it, but I can now see why people like it.

/back to studying

everyone likes muffins.

this cartoon is bush;s fault.

I want my 3 minutes back too, but with interest. Why doesn't Hertzfeld make more cartoons!?!?!

I didn't think it was hilarious, but I thought it was kinda cute kinda clever. Better than 75% of the stuff you find on the web.

only thing missing is a drive by strafing by da cheat.

The purported "fat girl" with the "KFC-stained fingerprints" is on the right end of the front row:


(Apparently there's something called the "Student Academy Awards.")

You don't win friends with salad.

Episode 6 was awesome.

/kitty lover

please... make... stop...

Uhhhhh....  Icebox destroys this
crap.

Worst, something, ever

If you haven't...check out the first six. I think they are cute!

Actually, I thought it was quite funny. This reminded me of Edward Gorey's work a little. As I'm a big Edward Gorey fan this explains a lot. Homestar Runner still reigns supreme, but I definately look forward to more installments by Amy Winfrey.

Oh yeah, and for Metamorphaze: She DID win an award.
Episode 3 won the award for Best Web Animation at the Chicago International Film Festival...congrats to her!

And when the hell did the web turn into a giant magnet for
all the whiny pussies of the world? What I love about reading Fark forums and usenet in general is no matter how sad or lame I believe my life to be, I only have to log on to realize I have it real damn good, if the attitudes of most internet posters reflects the state of the general populace. The internet is like a never ending episode of COPS...LOL

Of course by posting this, I join the ranks of whiny internet pussies...Ah fark it. I'm grabbing a beer and a laptop and going out to sit on the front lawn, shirtless, and await the LAPD...

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

let's pet stuff now!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

As an added bonus, check out the faq, and get a little taste of the animator's Ego.
Oooh, you worked on South Park, how about that! Not exactly the pinnacle of animation quality, is it?
...It's too bad that working as an animator on a funny show lends you about as much funny cred as being the guy running the teleprompter for Conan o'Brien.

That was REALLY lame. How did this link even get approved?


It's nothing more than a poor attempt at a HomeStar Runner cartoon, without any of the style or humor...
