Well, that was a cleverly-disguised slideshow if I've ever seen one. Still, that bunny character was pretty damn hilarious. The stuff that he was saying anyways. My only real suggestion to you is to do a little bit of voice acting with the bunny as opposed to giving us so many speech bubbles that we have to read. Evidently enough, you seem to want us to focus on the pictures of Drew Barrymore, yet all the reading kind of detracts from that. Personally, I'm not attracted to Drew Barrymore but that's just me. I'm sure that anyone who IS however, would probably want to listen to the bunny's comments as opposed to reading them. Aside from that, the bunny's character was funny enough to make me laugh a few times so you're getting a 6 in Humor from me. As for the slightly lower Overall score, well, that's really only because this is really nothing more than a cleverly-disguised slideshow. Hilarious though. Keep up the good work, and maybe use that website mascot for a Flash that DOESN'T completely revolve around actresses you think are hot. You're getting a 2 out of 5 from me.

Let me put it this way, the Bunny is a symbol of comedic and sexual ditress, which is the foundation of which Powerout was built on. My idea was for the bunny to be commentating on something, the Drew pics I didn't even mean to start. I was uploading ONE and I have about 30 and it said that it was part of a string and asked me if I wanted to import them all, so that's how it was sired.

"Admirable concept, but the sound needs work!"
Right when I saw the first frame of this animation, I realized that this was something with a lot of potential. However, as I watched more and more of this animation, I found my attention beginning to wane. This was not due to the animation though. In fact, I found the quality of the animation to be quite stylish. No, the reason the animation was losing my attention was because of the sound quality. Hell, if those little captions weren't there in the Flash, I might as well have been watching a foreign film written by practitioners of a language not yet invented. The sound quality was THAT bad. In any case, I have to commend you on your style of animation. It was colorful and looked much better than the stuff you see in most first-time submitters. All that having been said, the only suggestion I can give you is to focus on your sound quality. The captions may have been there to convey whatever message those stick figures were trying to send to each other, but you have to remember, given a choice between reading and listening, most Newgrounds users would choose the latter. Think about it.

"Definite similarities to certain TV cartoons..."
Well, as you yourself mentioned, this Flash was inspired by such shows as "Powerpuff Girls" and "My Life As A Teenage Robot", so obviously, there would be a few similarities to those popular TV shows. However, instead of noticing just a FEW similarities, I found this Flash to be quite reminiscent of just about ALL the TV cartoons that I used to watch as a kid. In fact, if you were to change this Flash from a music video format to an actual scripted cartoon with dialogue, I'd almost expect Cartoon Network to be backing it. However, I actually really liked the music video style format. The music really seemed to fit with the action, the animation was fast-paced and smooth, and well, you really have quite a bit of talent here. Great job, dude.
By the way, did anyone else find it kind of funny how Adam Android was trying to save a bunch of buildings from getting burned down only to knock over about ten of them trying to beat up that robot? Kind of reminds me of all those old "Power Rangers" episodes...

"The perfect Newgrounds series!"
Well, in my humble opinion anyways. But yeah, this looks like the beginning of a great series. Just for the record, I've already seen all the other "Bonus Stage" cartoons, but this one has always remained my favourite, so I figured that I'd come back and give it a glowing review. I mean, in all the Flash animations I've seen, this is the first series that's really blown me away with the animation. It's all just so smooth, so colourful, so funny. In fact, I love this series so much, you are now officially my favourite Flash artist on all of NG. And all because I just love your style. The humor here is really something to be proud of. This one episode of "Bonus Stage" itself has gotten more laughs out of me than just about any half-hour long TV show that I've ever seen, and that's no exaggeration. In short, I am a BIG fan of this series and I don't ever want to see you stop making these. Awesome work, dude. Keep it up.
(Oh, and I almost never give out 10's. That's how much I'm loving your work!)

It's been ages since I've seen such a professional-looking Flash animation. I mean, this is the kind of stuff I'd expect to find on TV somewhere, sandwiched between two shows on the Cartoon Network at 11 at night. The lipsynching was dead on (no pun intended), the animation was some of the smoothest I've ever seen, and well, you have an amazing sense of style in the creation of these characters. You can just tell that this is a story with a lot of depth. It remains a mystery to me why you didn't release Chapter 1 beforehand though. Personally, I can't wait to see more of your work. Can't wait to see the entire story unfold before me in Flash form. But yeah, high scores all around for this. Perfect 10 in the review and there's no way in hell you can stop me from voting 5's on this every chance I get. Great work, dude. Keep 'em coming.

"Hilarious, but I'm not exactly sure why..."
This is the perfect example of a Flash that's funny, but for all the wrong reasons. Either way, I loved this thing. I mean, there was something about the combination of bad graphics, bad song lyrics and bad humor that made this animation so amusing. Oh, and don't forget bad singing. Still, this submission made me laugh more than anything else this week and for that, you're getting a 3 from me. But yeah, some of the lines in the song were priceless. I was groaning at least as much as I was laughing, but then again, I'm pretty sure that's what you wanted to achieve. I'll never forget this line though...
"Later on, on the plane home,
I took a young girl, to the bathroom..."
I mean, I know it's bad and I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I so totally am. Must have something to do with watching Flash animations while only half awake. Just about anything's funny to you at this time of the night... Great work though, dudes.

"So THIS is what your earlier work looked like..."
Well, Andrew, I never actually took the time to look up your older Flash animations but when I saw "Friendless Bob" on the Top 50 Most Recent List as a result of that weird '200 votes' thing, I had to see it. And now that I have, I can honestly say that you've come a HELL of a long way since you first started out. God knows this is still better than anything I could EVER do (I actually know nothing about Flash yet, but I'll learn), and all I'm saying is that you're at least a million times better now than before. As for the actual Flash itself, voices would have helped but I'm going to give you high scores anyways just because you used one of my favourite songs in the Flash. This isn't great or anything, but you're getting a 3 from me, dude. Oh, and keep up the good work. You know, your NEW stuff...

"One of the best puzzle games I've ever seen!"
Well, this was just about the first thing I've seen all day that actually impressed me. I mean, being a fan of stupid little games that can keep you occupied from anywhere to a minute or two to a few hours, I really loved this thing. Granted, I suck at games like this, but still, the time and effort you put into this is clearly evident. I especially love how you actually made the teacher look around the room though. Very true to real life when taking tests. Hey, maybe I should use this to plan out my next cheating strategy, huh? Loving the look of this game though. Oh, and if anyone's giving you crap about creating a game in which you're just moving around dots on a screen, they just don't know a good thing when they see it. Just for the record though, you're getting a huge 5 from me. Great work, dude.

"Now, normally I don't even like Clock stuff..."
But this thing was hilarious. The thing is, I've always been a bit of a "Donnie Darko" fan so when I saw that there was a parody of it on Newgrounds, I more or less just jumped on it. I was kind of expecting it to be a piece of crap, but it turned out awesome! I mean, the part where FrankClock blurted out, "All your base belong to us!"? That, in itself, got me laughing my ass off. And who can forget the expression on ToiletRollClock's face when they jacked all the paper off him to torch ki1o's house? But yeah, I loved how you kept everything in this Flash related to all the scenes from the actual movie. That's pretty much what got me to hit the 5 button this time. I'm going to try and get this Flash in the blue for you though. I'll probably be voting 5's on this for the next few days. Keep up the awesome work, dude. Oh, and if you ever do a Clock version of "The Ring", I'll fall madly in love with you. In a perfectly heterosexual way, of course...
Author's Response:
There is already a clock crew of the ring. If I did do one it would be on teh original and not teh remake.
I am working on a take off Clerks called Clocks.

"Probably my favourite LegendaryFrog cartoon!"
Call me crazy, but I've always liked this one over all your other Flashes. There's just something about the narrator in this one that cracks me up every single time. Especially that whole "Or a brick!" part. I don't recall a single time that I've seen this Flash where I haven't laughed my ass off to that line. You know, even though this Flash is an example of your older work, it's already clearly evident that you have always had a lot of talent when it comes to Flash animations. By the way, loving that whole thing about the frog osmosis. If anyone else is reading this right now and has no idea what I'm talking about, just watch the damn movie. Oh well, LegendaryFrog gets yet another 5 from me...
