Reviews for "Blockhead: Episode 8"

Very Good

I remember when I first saw blockhead on newgrounds. I was shocked to see that someone had presented that 'non sequitur' type of humour in a way that actually made me laugh. It was good back then and it has only improved with time.

I feel this is one of your best episodes. It is packed with gags and very skillfully put together. The whole thing flowed like few other movies I've seen in the portal, and the music was brilliant.

You probably would have achieved a higher score if you'd stolen a random anime theme song and placed it on repeat throughout the entire movie, though :P

If is looks and smells like BlockHead...

... it probably is Blockhead.

Dunno what all the whinning in the review is all about but the cartoon look pretty Blockhead to me, perhaps with a touch of Holloween.

In fact this cartoon seems to have take the series up a notch with all the singing and humor. Good job and looking forward to the next one.

Amazing!

forget what that person said bofore me, this one was the funniest yet! i hope another comes out for thanksgiving!

The-Swain responds:

I may not agree with him, but he was trying to be constructive and give his opinion of why he felt the series was letting him down. No harm there!

But I'm not retiring the character any time soon, so it's a sad reality that some people are going to be let down with every new episode no matter how loyal I am to the character or how much work I put into the cartoon. I mean, some people are even gonna hate Blockhead after I release the game, but my hope is that more people will enjoy it than not, because you just can't please everyone. I wish I could, but I guess not.

Declaration of indepency

You want to know why this wasn't blockhead?
Block-head, BLOCK-HEAD...
I expected this to happen looong time ago. You have no gags anymore, so you do it just like those american mambojambo-ressigeur or how ever you may call those ppl - you know, those who work for greenpeace, they warm up old crap, recycle it and create an american sitcom - you just repeat your gags. Just like the hearts he sprayed on the wall, ok, hearts on helloween made the gag, but blockhead repeated "helloween is about love" all the time. A real blockhead would have sprayed hearts, yes, but after that he would have been yelling around that helloween is about throwing chuchumbers at trees. (no, not all the time, he would have been yelling that only ONCE).
Blockhead using his tongue was funny one time, but this time, he almost solved all of his problems with it. It would have been more funny if the policemen would have thrown him out of the car, because it was partly the reaction of the normal people which made up a part the film's character. Blockhead also never got busted, he never was wearing filthy cloth, that was completely out of the line. The second part that made up old blockheads was his childishness. He was stupid, of course, told people nonsense and stuff, but he actually never destroyed anything on purpose, like he did with the pumpkins in this film. Blockhead was like a baby, he might have thrown a pizza on the wall, or he might have thrown a chipmonk out of the window (in fact, I think the chipmonk survived that) but he never ever threw a pumpkin at driving cars, thats - almost hooligan. In Blockhead films should also be no gore. Ok, his conscience shot himself once, but even this "Zap - head away" suicide in the episode where blockhead sold a glass of nails, and even the blood on the face of blockhead when the old woman was drinking the glass was too much.
And, yes, the realism. I suppose it is not realistic that someone can disturb a private session, but it was surrealistic in a higher, in a mental level. It was no blockhead-face growing out of the chest of the conscience, it was no 12-meter tongue rolling around a street lamp, it was no green eyes and evil teeth. Eating a hat and a toaster is ok, but: is blockhead a superhero called tongus longus? I hope he isn't.
One small bit also distracted from the blockheadism. It was the woman calling the police, who told us that she has a job or something. The people in the previous episodes were interacting with blockhead, talking to him, but they never took action, they never disturbed him, they never stood in his way doing nonsense.

And that is it.

The-Swain responds:

Wait, I am confused...

You accuse me of "recycling old gags", and yet you complain when I change the way he interacts with people and solves his problems?

There's no winning with some people :)

Fire.

The only thing this was missing was a blazing fire, then it would've been perfect. Yeah.

The-Swain responds:

Haha, I wish I knew why, though.
