Its pretty cool. Though, I've never seen his/their "Another Day" series. It still looks cool.

BTW, Starogre, why do you still have the Flash Bash link in your sig? That collab died months ago.

I would have to say toof. I don't really find the scripts that funny and thats really all toof is. Just a script with not great lip syncing and the occaisional tween of the vcam.

Salad Fingers. I just don't get it. It's sick, it's annoying, and it doesn't make any sense. Judging by what I qualify a good flash movie by, it doesn't have a single good feature.

It's british and therefore good.

I think series like this and, previously mentioned, madness are good to start with but what ruins them is when the fans are all like "Dis iz teh r0x0rs, i paradi tis" is when it becomes overated and the other people start to dislike the series more. When from the start I think the authors just want to make something that some people will like. On that note I wanna ask do people think it gets obviouse when people stop making animations/games for their original motive (e.g. just for fun/ just to entertain people) and start making stuff because everyone likes there original stuff and want more. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, what I'm trying to say is do you think people start making flashes for different reasons to why they originally did? and if so do you think this a bad thing, a good thing or just something else.

i never really understood its popularity either. Its obviously kinda low grade, but it must have hit a funny bone in some people, but who i dont know.

i for one dont like Salad fingers, for pretty much the same reason. Its gross, random and...meh. I cant say its the MOST overrated flash out there, i think it deserves a little something. its very origonal you have to say, theres nothing else like it on newgrounds.

but i do love Burnt Face Man. Thta is a good series.

I think that what happened with the latest madness. He just made it because people would like it. Maybe not, but its deafinantly a good example. and it is possible to make a good, long running series, and still keep the first motivation. its hard, it goes to some peoples heads, like they cant make a series OTHER then the popular one or they dont be popular anymore.

now with all seriousnes, what do you think is highly overrated?

Decline, sorry to SFB, but I don't find it funny. I guess it's just different than my tastes for humor, the art and animation are great though. On that same note; College University, I think is overrated with stale jokes.

Agreed. From the little I saw (and that means some later episodes, so there's really no excuse), the animation wasn't great and the script was just lame. And with the concept, script is really all it could have had. Unless he'd chosen to go down the weird and unconventoinal route, which would have been cool.

In that case you have a pretty crappy way of qualitfying movies. It's dark, stylish and with lots of room for interpretation. I hate when people act like they know about how to rate movies just because they can identify what a basic plot is. Take your rote criticisms elsewhere!

While on the bus this morning I was thinking about schools and there purpose, and I kinda got carried away a bit but started thinking about when you're younger. When you're young your so naive and gullible it's stupid. One time I went to play football and there was a lad there with a Aston Villa shirt on with Bosnich on the back. I thought because of this he was Mark Bosnich, but really he just had his name printed on the back, and he looked nothing like Mark Bosnich, but I believed he was when I asked him, and he blatantly jokingly said "Yeah i'm Mark Bosnich".

Another thing I remember believing was that I saw on Newsround that France had got a load of blokes lined up along the shore right, and they were going to throw big grapple devices over and pull England over so we were bordering with them..

Another was that the queen had test piloted the world's first flying car.

Now think back and remember how gullible and naive you were, this time period is where shit should be crammed into your head, like morals and stuff so that you will always have that imprinted in your head.

I was thinking about this, then I sort of got a new feeling about the bible (and other stuff alike), like maybe they're purpose, or there modern day purpose is to give us a set of morals and standards we should live by in society and this is why they tell you it all at a young age, so that it's imprinted in your head for when you grow up.

And also this made me think about the future and medias control, when kids are young and so naive the media is going to be a big point of like income to them, like they will spend a bunch of time watching TV and get impressions from that..

Uh, i'll end it there. Bus thoughts.

"Bus drivers always run red lights" - Fact.

You know, I think that's sort of true. A lot of people who have religion in their roots, growing up will believe in that religion and that one exclusively. My parents never really enforced religion on us when we were growing up, they just sort of explained that it was a choice people make to believe in something (this was also how they described Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny and so forth). And despite the fact that they were, each individually, religious people, I myself never really felt like religion was a necessary part of life. I made my own mind up that I couldn't believe in any sort of higher power ruling or watching or creating or that there was any sort of immortal soul/mind. Conversly my older sister is a religious person.

It's juat interesting to me that people who are religious or are not religious are generally the people who have had that way of life deep seeded into their minds from childhood.

I definately think that that is true, we are very impressionable as youngsters. American Children who witnessed the 9-11 attacks are going to live life very differently than those of us who were already adults when it happened.

God yeah I wasn't really thinking about that, good example. I was thinking more towards how they will learn from childrens programmes. And then onto 'well the TV exec's must have thought over what i'm thinking here, so why do they choose to put out shows like power rangers where people are fighting', and 'what would it be like if ANY programs that had any violence in'.

That's intresting about 9/11.. although infact that may not be something so big, I remember when it happened I was 13 and I was serious about it, like some kid was laughing at the people jumping out and me and a friend were sort of like 'No that's not funny', despite being 13. Although I didn't understand it in a sense of who did it and hating against them, I just thought it was sad for all the people that died. Kids growing up with a strong image of what a terrorist is etc will hve a different image though, so maybe thats where it differs me being English

Definatly. I remember that day... my neice was al "why are they jumping... ? " while the next day at school, everyone was "ROFL THEY JUMPED". I cant understand them, i mean, the day was freakin sad for a lot of people. I just cant see how they found it funny...

On the television note, you mentioned shows that have violence like "Power Rangers" etc. I assume thats because they wanna teach the kids that the evil is bad. Hence why theres always a way they beat evil... for as crappy as their fights can be. But then again, its always bad because kids being so naive, as you mentioned earlier, can think fighting is good. So yes kids, stick with the teletubbies and barney plz.

LoL yeah, it's amusing thinking back to how as kids we believed anything xD.

There're little things like teaching kids the wrong meaning to words, then they start saying funny stuff :P.

Lol, no worries, at least you enjoyed the art. Some people even say that sucks, which makes Dim sad :'(

If anyone was wondering, Decline 4 will NEVER happen. Ever. Doesn't mean we won't do tweened VG parodies any more though :P

I hope not! I certainly dont want to shoot people who are working on sunday or hire slaves from neighboring nations.. (as in Peter Godly is explained).
But seriously, I think finding out who you are and determining your own morals and standards in one of the most exciting things in life. Why would anyone need a book for that? I can't believe people take the bible so seriously, when i think it is meant as a classic 'hero' story, a fairy tale, as people in the roman empire had their heroes like Zeus. Reading the bible is one big chain of great stories that are all about courage, compassion and all that shit. It's the hollywood of 2000 years ago really :)

You say that and it backs up what I was heading towards, maybe morals was the wrong word, but it sort of sets you on a path, "all about courage, compassion and all that shit".

No, i think it's to do with morals. I just think its really out of date. I don't think they exactly had a police department back when the bible was written. I think it's quite likely that the bible was just some sort of book of law, threatening everyone who doesn;t abide to it it to an eternity to hell.
