XD LoL!!
I always knew he had it in him X3
I don't want to upset any big fans here...
But it has to be said. This is an average animation with an addictive song. Nothing special, and certainly nothing new. I liked, I'm not denying that, but when you pull it apart, you see that it's just another musical, with an ageing yet amusing theme. The comedy is predominantly slapstick (and hardly laugh out loud), and the animation is quite lazy. It also has a tremendous amount of potential which has not been done justice.
Overall, this still is a good piece of flash, and somehow offers a mature take on the humor, but is still bereft of originality and real talent. As for the music, it is well written, but given enough time, many people could come up with something just as good. This is good, not great; and certainly not #1.

Not bad
Song was great the animation was not bad some bits could have been better but good nonetheless, didn't particular like when the guy stabs himself at the end seemed a bit pointless.

I would not be surprised if this was the most viewed flash animation on the internet. I'm absolutely certain that this animation has been viewed by absolutely everyone at some point, or another. It's just a common fact, that if you've ever surfed the web long enough... you would run into this movie once or twice, and for good reason... it's a creative, and overall enjoyable flash film. It's kind of hard to criticize this, considering it's a cult classic among flash viewers, and it's been around for a while... spawning a whole load of parodies and other different styles. Unfortunately... that's where the film falls flat. I enjoy the idea of all the pop icons coming together in an epic brawl, along with other numerous references... and the lyrics and music was complex, and quite honestly... impressive. But, after watching this four times when it came out four years ago... I kind of thought it was neat, and then everyone I knew started to nag on about it, and it was honestly making this animation lose its integrity. The music wasn't the greatest thing I've ever heard in the world, and the animation wasn't too impressive either. It was cool, but when that's everything anyone talks about... quite frankly it gets annoying after a while.
Bottom line... it was a very creative flash... it has history, heart, and a productive fanbase. But sometimes it just gets to be too much... when it was already just an adequate flash. It was good for a while... now... it's just history.
