Frasier Collab
So as you’ve probably noticed from some of the posts on this blog, I love the idea of animation collabs (examples: this one from the Clock Crew, When I Was Done Dying, the “steamed hams” clip from The Simpsons).
I also love “Frasier.”
So I obviously really enjoyed this:
The voice acting is great, too.
They need to do more episodes, haha.
Flashback
I randomly thought about this today, so now it’s a blog post.
Deal with it.
To Bean or Not To Bean (Don’t Bean)
Ugh, Pixar, please don’t do the “bean mouth” thing. Please.
I’m not for hating on the CalArts style because it’s apparently cool to do so. That style works in some cases (see: Steven Universe), even if it is overdone.
But with Pixar’s ridiculous animation quality and realism? To suddenly see a freaking BEAN MOUTH in the middle of it?
It’s distracting. I don’t like it.
End rant.
The Demented Cartoon Movie!
I’m pretty sure I’ve posted about this somewhere way back in the blog archives, but it randomly showed up in my “for you” on YouTube and it brought back SO MANY memories from junior high/high school. I used to watch this all the time and longed to have the skills/patience in Flash to make anything even half as long.
That “hmmmmmmmmmm” sound still goes through my head to this day.
Bri’ish
Hahaha, this is great:
The best comment: “It’s weird seeing a mix of animation with real-life Englishmen green-screened into the cartoon.”
Have I posted this on here before?
I don’t know. And I don’t care. Today has sucked and I have no blog content.
BYE
DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THEY’LL REVIVE HER!
I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day, but with the lyrics replaced by the lyrics from “French Erotic Film.”
Tell me the internet was your best friend in high school without telling me the internet was your best friend in high school.
French Erotic Film
Yesterday’s delve into old Flash animations that I enjoyed as a youth brought back the memory of the incredible “Colin Mochrie vs. Jesus H. Christ” trilogy.
If you have never seen this before, you are now commanded to watch it.
I can sing all those lyrics from memory. I have all three of these songs and anytime I hear them I sing those lyrics.
Frontier
So I was pretty sure I’d mentioned this song on here somewhere at some point, but I searched my archives and found NOTHING, so I present to you The Avalanches’ “Frontier Psychiatrist.”
This song is a trip.
I first heard it in a Clock Crew Collab like 17 years ago:
Man, that brings back memories. Wanting to be a part of the Clock Crew was one of my main motivators for learning (or trying to learn) Flash.
CLOCK
HEY NERDBOMBS IT’S CLOCK DAY
I’ve mentioned the Clock Crew and Clock Day on here many times, I know. And I don’t think the group is nearly as active on Newgrounds as they used to be.
But dammit, I’m sad and nostalgic today, so have some of my favorite Clock Crew-related animations.
Not like anyone cares, but since when has such a trivial thing stopped me from blogging?
Clockday Of The Year
(Anything by TurdClock, really)
Nostalgia satisfied.
Homestar Runner
So I’ve spent the past hour or so watching old Homestar Runner stuff because my stupid brain wants me to think it’s 8th grade again when Homestar Runner was the coolest thing on the internet.
Not to knock Homestar Runner at all…it still is pretty cool even after all these years.
Favorites:
- The Luau
- Fluffy Puff Commercial
- Meet Marshie
- Cheat Commandos
- Cheat Commandos…O’s
- Stunt Double
- Teen Girl Squad (all of them)
We really were super obsessed with this in 8th grade. There was actually a kid who turned this in as an English essay once (though he was joking around; he did actually write one of his own and gave it to the teacher after class).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAY MACARENA
Hahahaha, man, I wish I would have finished this.
Aneel was one of my best friends in high school, which of course meant I had to make fun of him using Flash. I also made a parody of “Goodnight Moon” about him, ‘cause what else are friends for?
Edit: here’s a Strawberry Clock from back when I was all about the Clock Crew. I miss pretending to know how to Flash.
Flash Party
As long as we’re revisiting some old internet stuff (like we did with Ronald Jenkees), I should mention Tom DesLongchamp, since I don’t think I ever have on here.
I don’t remember quite how I found this guy (AlbinoBlackSheep…maybe?), but I found him back in like 2003 and loved his dorky little animations. My mom and I still quote a few of them, haha.
The above link sends you to his current page; this one sends you to his archives with all his old stuff posted.
I recommend:
Green Thing (I love that song)
Yay!
Proof that President #1 is still #1
I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this video before, but I need to do it again because I’ve had this damn song in my head ALL DAY LONG and I can’t get it out.
I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t give me weird dreams
Wanna trip?
I thought it was decent at first, but the more I’ve watched it, the more I like it. I really like the music, too…thinking of buying the soundtrack.
HAHAHA I JUST FOUND ALL MY OLD FLASH ANIMATIONS
Matt, do you remember this nonsense? Oh my god.
And here’s this bit of whatthehell.
These were in an entirely different folder than The Wrath of XBar for some reason. Enjoy.
Oh crap
OH CRAP I MISSED CLOCK DAY.
And it was the 10 year anniversary of B, too.
Shameshameshameshameshame.
What the hell is Clock Day, you ask? I’ve talked about The Clock Crew on here a few times before, but I don’t think I ever really explained them (well, “us,” since I’m a member too). So I’ll point you to this description on Newgrounds’ Clock Crew page, since it does a fairly succinct job of describing the madness.
In honor of 10 years of B, here’s a sampling of some of my favorite Clock movies, if anyone cares (and if not, too bad, my blog).
B (of course)
The CC’s Humble Beginnings
Ten Commandments
Let It B
The Portal and The Portal Outtakes
Fun times!
Oh yes.
My RAB intuition was telling me the next installment was due soon. Sure enough…
Run for your life, it’s a blog!
More artsy fartsy crap. I can’t decide if I like this one or not.
Also, this is freaking awesome. I loved the Xbox logo. And the Vaio logo, just because it’s Vaio.
Today’s song: Sleepyhead (DCDJ Remix) originally by Passion Pit (THE MADNESS NEVER STOPS)
Someday…
I hope to make a flash this long/weird/full of stick figures/dorky.
Mr. Weight is my hero.
Blogblogblogblog
For some reason, I found this incredibly funny. Particularly the part after the “end.”
