The Real Inferno
10-06-2014, 08:59 PM
Okay, so I felt since I've been harsh on some of the critics of AMV Hell for being too caught up in themselves and a bit too vitriolic, I should give my own detailed views. What follows will be a clip by clip review of the entire project. I will release it in 25 clip chunks because I'm busy and have a life. I'll save my overall review of the entire project for the end.
Why isn't this just in the AMVH 7 thread? Because I dont want to clog it up even more with this and because I plan to do it in parts so I'd rather it be more contained to this thread. Yes, you can respond to my reviews with your own reactions/criticisms. I won't shout you down unless you ARE SO WRONG, YOU STUPID SWINE. I mean...valued critic.
1 - VasSerMan7 - Attack on Titan - Plan B - Welcome to Hell - This is an excellent choice of a song to start things off with. Having an Attack on Titan clip also immediately tells us this project is going to try and be current which is nice. It keeps it feeling relevant to the times. The last lyrics is mildly funny, but this doesn't need to be funny so much as effective.
2 - Zarxrax - AMV Hell (series) - Kawmaine "Greedy Greed" Conley - AMV Hell 7 Intro - This is good, though the transition between this and "Welcome to Hell" is somewhat jarring. It's still a good history of the series and referencing some of the best clips in past hells, while cleverly juxtaposing them against one another.
3 - SSGWNBTD - Eiken - BABYMETAL - Gimme Chocolate!! - I'm of the opinion that tradition is important and getting an Eiken clip early on is the definition of traditional AMV Hell for me. As for the clip itself, I thought it was okay, but I don't actually know who that is in the pictures and if I'm supposed to find that in particular funny or not. Still, it was a prototypical Eiken clip. Not bad, but not great.
4 - SOGESNAKE - MM! - M&M's Commercial - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't do That) - I liked this a lot. The first portion, the character stood out a little bit too much, and seemed pointless until I see how the rest of it is being used and it brings the composition together. Very funny.
5 - BrakCartman - Lucky Star - The Venture Brothers - Sound Clip - I like this audio. There is potential here, but not with this footage. I would have used Tiger & Bunny for this audio, to make it work better. As it stands, no one is wearing a costume of any sort.
6 - redeadlink - Clannad: After Story - Eminem - Rap God - Hrm. Well. He's a hip hop rapper and this is a song about being a rap god. That's a pretty basic observation. This clip would have benefitted from using a different part of the song and footage that was more dynamic and synced a little better.
7 - Mattroks101 - Neon Genesis Evangelion - COPS - Sound Clip - This is a golden oldie meme. I cant remember off the top of my head if it's been done before at all in Hell. It's okay, but the beginning of the footage starts with two still shots. No lip syncing attempted at all to make me really believe these lines are being sad by these characters. Might have been better to use the trial scene from Attack on Titan for a more dynamic use of handcuffs footage and screaming.
8 - Sir Fluffykins - Little Busters! - Virgin Steele - I Dress in Black - I had to look up the lyrics to understand what was being said in this clip. It's so short it's hard to even notice that she does indeed have no shadow. Maybe if there had been more to play into this joke it would have sold better? As it is, not a very strong clip.
9 - TritioAFB - Chuunibyou demo Koi ga ****ai!, The World God Only Knows, B Gata H Kei, WataMote - Trina - Pull over - While I don't think a lot of people like this clip, it works for me. It's actually quite well edited except for the part with the girl holding the magazine. The "Touch a Witch" style DS joke is funny for me as well.
10 - Joe Hazel - Penguindrum - Kirby, Snoop Dog - Snoop Dog's Epic Dreamland - :| Well. It does look like Kirby's dreamland. I'm not sure the lyrics work that well though.
11 - Pafk - Attack on Titan - Rurouni Kenshin - Sound Clip - I made a potato girl clip as well that was left out in favor of this one. (I used Weird Al's Addicted to Spuds). I don't know how I feel about this one. It just pretty much declares the meme which is that she is called Potato Girl. I wish there could have been more going on here.
12 - Shuiia - Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club - Alexander Marcus - Homo Dance - A good clip that suffers from some quality issues (I've always called them Shadow frames). It's very prevelant.
13 - The Real Inferno - Another - Family Guy - Sound Clip - What can I say about my clips? A lot of them (about half) were derived from the tennis thread or my old tennis response collection. I ended up redoing the clips, adding footage, getting way better quality or changing them entirely to be funnier. This is the first of those. I liked this clip a lot when I made it, and I still do.
14 - Sir Fluffykins - P€ersona 4: The Animation - Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword - Sound Clip - I suppose the joke here is that the character somewhat resemble a collection of the scooby doo crew. It works alright in that respect, but it's just an okay clip.
15 - adzman - Attack on Titan - Frank Turner - Eulogy - This was good. This was really good. I legit laughed out loud at the reveal.
16 - Sir Fluffykins - Plastic Nee-san - RATT - Body Talk - There is something to be said about clips like this. All of their humor is derived from the footage and not the audio (there are plenty that are the reverse too). However, by virtue of being an anime not many are familiar with, it manages to still work as a funny clip for most people even if it isn't the most cleverly put together thing.
17 - MarbilSWE - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball - This has already gained the dubious distinction of being the Toilet Clip of AMV Hell 7. Well, let's take a look. To be perfectly blunt: The clip works for what it is. Its joke is simple and straight forward. Does it belong? Probably not. It also works as a bit of a meta joke in that it is so weird to be included as well as "let's put the most over-hyped, fanboy-based cartoon out there with the most overplayed, soulless song we can find." Is it the worst clip of the collection? No. But it is definitely going to get some kind of reaction if even a deep "uuuhhhhhg" from the audience.
18 - LawRayLiet - Grave of the Fireflies - Owl City - Fireflies (DJ Strobe Remix) - Yes. I love this. It's a clever play on the name of the anime, yet it also works with the lyrics combined with the footage. It of course is a bit of a classic joke for AMV Hell to make fun of Grave of the Fireflies, which has been one of my favorite continued gags throughout the whole series.
19 - Beiki - Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Looking for Group - This is War - This clip has quality issues, but I like the joke. I feel it also was begging for some proper lip syncing at the beginning. Still, the joke is decently funny. It's a classic style of punchline that still gets over with crowds today.
20 - VasSerMan7 - Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - Dan Bull - Dungeon Keeper Rap - Dems some tig ole bitties. I mean, jesus christ. The clip is okay. It's acceptable. Not laugh out loud funny but if you enjoy fanservice and simple gags, this one delivers that.
21 - The Real Inferno - Dragon Ball Z Kai - Code Monkeys - Sound Clip - I would have liked to had a little more at the end of this clip, but unfortunately the audio abruptly shifts to another scene afterward and the intro doesn't work either. Still, it's a simple, quick clip, which we didn't have many of and are nice to keep the flow of the project going.
22 - LawRayLiet, ijp92 - C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control - Alan Silvestri - Back To The Future (Theme Song) - This works well. It's not any more than it sets itself up to be, but that's fine. It's much better than the last Back to the Future clip I saw in a Hell project.
23 - Mattroks101 - A Certain Magical Index - Gay Greg - Watching Porn - Another bad quality clip. It needs to be smoothed out some. It's an okay clip, that seems to cut off too quick. I would have added some reaction audio to try and help with that perhaps.
24 - President Raptor - Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V - Spider-Man (2002) - Sound Clip - Eh. This one fell flat for me since it was clearly a snake. The AMV Hell 4 spiderman clip still reigns supreme on these jokes. Still, the clip is inoffensive and not TERRIBLE, just a mediocre offering (also I hate seeing watermarks).
25 - MarbilSWE - Nichijou, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Angel Beats! - Sidney Samson - Riverside - I guess I just don't get this clip? It has shadow frames in it, and the punchline seems to be the end, but it's not much of a joke.
26 - Deemer - Those Who Hunt Elves - Deuce Bigelow Male Gigolo - Sound Clip - This is funny. That is all.

I wouldn't have much to disagree with on your first few clips here.
Though the riverside one, I felt was funny because the music is quite epic and has this big build up, but its just pictures of background shots.
Its basically an awesome video about the most boring thing imaginable.
Sort of like http://youtu.be/TUHgGK-tImY, or like how weird al can make a song about aluminum foil.
Oh yea, and the pics in the eiken video are of BABYMETAL.

I haven't seen AoT yet, though it's true it probably would have worked better. The reason I didn't lip sync is there wasn't any good shots of them talking to use. But fair criticism.

From what the guy who made the MLP clip said, the joke was "I came in like a RAINBOW" but it still sounds like Wrecking ball to me.

From what the guy who made the MLP clip said, the joke was "I came in like a RAINBOW" but it still sounds like Wrecking ball to me.
So the audio is "I came in like a Wre...in..ba!!!" They just cut out the sound at points such as ck, the end of ing so just In and cut off the end of Ball so it just ba. making they VERY slight note that is says "Rainbow" when in fact it just sounds like "Wre en ball." and the mind replaces the missing moments with what you expect which is Wrecking ball and thus you do not notice it and thus the joke is lost.
The human mind has no time to take in all the information, so when it can take a shortcut it does. When you hear "I came in like a...." the brains went into the files and went "Wrecking ball, by Miley cyrus, next line is wrecking ball and you know what it sounds like! do not think!"
The clip fails on a level of basic psychology/Biology before it even needs to hit anyones funny bones.

Akyho, you're putting too much thought into it. It just wasn't funny. Even if the sound manipulation had worked perfectly, it wouldn't have been funny. No need for further comment. See the below flavor text:

The Next 25
27 - BenpaiWaifuKing - Nanana's Buried Treasure - Trey Songz - Na Na - My only real problem with this clip is I had to watch it twice to get what was going on because the clip of the girl just playing games while he sleeps was so fast I almost missed it entirely and it distracted a little bit from the actual lyric.
28 - LawRayLiet - Dragon Ball Z - Zulway: God of Mercy - Sound Clip - This is an interesting running gag. It's okay as far as running gags go. I think the lip syncing could have been worked on. I totally believe that voice could come out of Buu though.
29 - Shuiia - WataMote - Die Antwoord - I Fink U Freeky - I have no idea what is being said in this clip at all. I cannot understand these lyrics. So, I looked up the lyrics and I still don't get the joke other than it looks like he is wearing Beats by Dre headphones, but I don't see how the rest of this clip works with this. I would probably have cut this one.
30 - EmSeeSquared (Morgan Cherney) - Ranma 1/2 - Futurama - Sound Clip - While I don't think this is a very strong clip I did audibly snort at it all the same, so it elicited a laugh which is what it is supposed to do.
31 - Sir Fluffykins - Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere II - Monty Python's Flying Circus - Sound Clip - Hm, I think this clip needed a much more dramatic reveal of the Spanish inquisition to match the audio. Maybe a sweeping shot that could have been accomplished with some clever effects use in Premiere or After Effects. Also, I felt there needed to be something for the inquisition to actually interrupt instead of cutting straight to the punch line. Overall, it was okay but had more potential.
32 - MarbilSWE - Attack on Titan - Queen - I Want to Break Free - This is a good, simple song clip. The transition to the love angle was decently done as well. I would have amped it up more with some sappy flowers and a blur effect around the edges for maximum lovey dovey power.
33 - President Raptor - Space Dandy - SESAME STREET ON DRUGS - Sound Clip - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. *DEEP BREATH* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is my favorite clip.
34 - robots100 - Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic - Aladdin - Never Had a Friend Like Me - The footage definitely works with the song. I think it just needs a little bit of a cleanup to the overall editing and this clip would be perfect. Still, it's decent enough.
35 - SuperLoliSentai - Little Witch Academia - Mulan - Sound Clip - Not bad, not super great. Simple, effective clip. I might have added in some of the original audio's sound effects if possible to make the dragon seem less "quiet" with all of the stomping and smoke.
36 - Caboose - Elfen Lied - asdfmovie6 - Sound Clip - I laughed. Video quality seemed a little low at the end. I assume the footage was zoomed in to just show that character from a wider angle shot since the rest of the clip does not look like this.
37 - VasSerMan7 - Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends, Haganai Next: I Don't Have Many Friends - Serebro - Mimimi - Welp. Those are big. As a fanservice clip goes, it's not that bad, though I would have cut straight to the line about her tits and the ding ding dings to tighten it up some.
38 - The Real Inferno - Hand Maid May - College Humor - My Little Brony - I think this might have been the last clip I sent in before the deadline. It took me forever to get the footage I wanted. I'm surprised it came out so well, and actually a little surprised by how much people liked it as I felt it might be a little -too- dark and "rapey" in subject matter.
39 - rathemighty - One Piece - Metalocalypse - Dethkids - This clip is terrifying. (I like it though)
40 - JINZO64 - Dragon Ball Z - Dragon Ball Z - Dragonball OST - This joke is great. I mean, it's a FANTASTIC idea. It suffers from quality issues and a bit of an editing snafu during the actual transformation, but otherwise I liked it and laughed at the actual joke. I kind of understood what the punchline had to be, but was not able to guess it would be Yoda.
41 - The Real Inferno - The Garden of Sinners - "Weird Al" Yankovic - Trapped in the Drive-Thru - You ever look at somebody and realize you would just rather throw yourself in front of a car than keep doing that?
42 - DennNJ - Azumanga Daioh - Hey Arnold! - Sound Clip - It works. I snickered at this clip. The voice works well as an internal monologue for the character in how special education it sounds combined with her rather mundane task (and its her dream she can sound however she wants, I guess).
43 - LawRayLiet - Kill la Kill - Hadouken! - M.A.D. - Well, the boobs match the music. It's an okay clip, but not a particularly funny one.
44 - The Real Inferno - Berserk - Brentalfloss - The Roommate Song - How did this asshole get so many clips in? One of my weaker offerings. Some people don't get the joke, but it is a pretty quick one so that's understandable.
45 - Mac - Haibane Renmei - It's a Wonderful Life - Sound Clip - I would like this clip more if the wing getting was juxtaposed with something that actually involved a bell ringing or at least tied it in tighter to the source audio. As it stands, it isn't a bad joke, since apparently getting wings is a hideous process for angels. A good idea for a fix? The regular clip of It's a Wonderlife plays then segues right into this angel screaming in agony as he gets his wings.
46 - Rowan Lock - Neon Genesis Evangelion - Flight of the Concords - I Got Hurt Feelings - I would have just started this halfway through with the part about wearing a lady's wet suit. It doesn't make the clip any stronger or weaker, but it would shorten it up some.
47 - The Real Inferno - Busou Shinki - Sealab 2021 - Sound Clip - I have wanted to make a clip with this audio for years. I felt bad because the source's for Sealab are all poor in audio quality for some reason. I was only ever able to improve the quality slightly and it stands out as a pretty poor source despite being a relatively good clip otherwise.
48 - the4ten - Azumanga Daioh - MarkSoupial - Marathon Anthem 2012 (Apocalypse 2012 Edit) - I have a conflicting opinion. I don't get Twitch memes since they seem to lack any actual comedy other than regurgitating the same images over and over again. But, I do see how this clip appeals to people in this day and age, so I can't actual argue against its inclusion either since I used to think Desu jokes were funny and got a similar clip into a project once years ago.
49 - Haar - Michiko & Hatchin - Annie - It's A Hard Knock Life - Child abuse is wrong. But also hilarious sometimes.
50 - The Real Inferno - Highschool of the Dead - Amy McCauley - How to do a Sit Up - A reedit straight from the tennis thread with cleaned up quality, lip syncing and removal of lip flaps. Some of my most clever work.
51 - Zarxrax - Katawa Shoujo - G-DRAGON - THAT XX - The lone Zarx clip. The clip requires knowing the character is blind, but thankfully, it's a pretty well known source these days, so the joke works. I laughed.

Remind me to dig through my old DVD's at some point when I'm at home. I've got old downloads of Sealab 2021 stashed that are of good to decent quality, and as I recall there aren't any with problems on the audio.

This was already answered in the first post. Besides, Inferno is soopar speshul and can't be expected to use the same dusty old crates the rest of us plebians call a soap box. He needs his own box painted and gilded and dipped in gold with spotlights on it and a choir of angels in the background to hum a hymn as he preaches. I mean, isn't that obvious?

when you say quality issues do you mean quality of the footage and audio?
How do you think the transformation sequence could have been improved?

Some shadow frames mostly during the first part. Since as far as I know the Kai has not yet been released for this I don't think true HD could have been found, but some standard sharpening or smoothing filters might have helped it. The cut to the transformation is abrupt, but should have overlapped the audio from "fushion HAAAAAA" to the explosion to make it sound more natural, like it's part of the same scene. Also the transformation light could have faded more smoothly into Yoda (I would have actually just photoshopped Yoda into the original DBZ footage myself).

It is the reveal of Yoda that I have had the most problems with that clip, some of the suggestions Inferno gave for that would have made it smoother and fit better than randomly new scene in the dark...from a different show. The joke is good just needed a snappier delivery.

Thankyou for the advice and suggestions, sadly I don't how use photoshop, but it is something I could do with learning.

I'm just happy people like the joke.
with these pointers and advice my future should be of a better quality.
while were on the subject of quality the M Bison/lucky star video is mine and when I made it i knew why I made it and I knew what the idea behind it was, but after watching again in 7, I was there going why did I make that?
The only answer I've got now is, I really wanted to make clip using Bison going YES!

Next batch
52 - Sir Fluffykins - The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya - Jibjab's It's a Wonderful Life - Sound Clip - This clip is okay. The ending seems a bit odd as the shot of Haruhi (who isn't the focus of the clip and has flapping lips) doesn't actually make sense in the clip's composition. Otherwise it's decently edited, the black and white fits and the font choice at the end is good.
53 - President Raptor - Another - Spicy Pepsi - Sound Clip - I had no idea what this is. I have not seen the original video, but I don't think this clip really works with no actual reaction to what they hear on the tape (their reaction shown is very subdued and kinda of just undersells the weirdness).
54 - Andrew Miller - Tsubasa Chronicle - Nostalgia Critic - Sound Clip - HA. This is simple and it works.
55 - SSGWNBTD - Space Dandy - Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z - Drunk in Love - Well, that sure is a surfboard. I guess it's okay, but it's kind of just a nothing clip; feels like filler.
56 - Chewi105, CitizenRoman - Dragon Ball Z Kai - The Incredibles - Sound Clip - I like the idea for this joke. I would have liked more actual shots of Vegeta looking for his armor. While I find this clip funny, people unfamiliar with the actual scene may not get it. Lip syncing needs work.
57 - VasSerMan7 - Blood-C: The Last Dark - Karmin - Look At Me Now - This is very well edited. It's nice quality too. However, the clip lacks a real joke. Would probably make a decent full AMV.
58 - Shadowolf - Angel Beats! - Killer Instinct - Sound Clip - I did a joke like this too with some different footage. Not a bad clip as it's a decent short one.
59 - Christian Oberly - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - There Will Be Blood - Sound Clip - Lip syncing seems slightly off, but I really liked this clip even if that isn't an actual milk shake.
60 - Sir Fluffykins - Valkyria Chronicles - Sporty-O - Let Me Hit It - I guess the joke is that they play it up that the story will be epic then we get all this goofy cattiness and fanservice, but some of the footage shown just seems out of place/out of tone with the other clips shown. I also just really hate that audio. Like, so much but that's nothing against the clip.
61 - The Real Inferno - Naruto - "Weird Al" Yankovic - Another Tattoo - I probably could have done more with this clip. If it weren't for how awful it is getting footage for specific things from Naruto since it has 100 quadrillion episodes, I probably would have spiced this one up some.
62 - The Real Inferno - Hunter x Hunter - Family Guy - Sound Clip - I believe the comment I left for Zarx on this is: "He is fat and thus should be laughed at."
63 - Insofistikerad - Steins;Gate - David Naughton - I'm a Pepper - Why is there Dr. Pepper in this anime? I have burning questions. I think this clip was okay, but a better idea might have been to do some joke audio from movies (Wayne's World comes to mind) where product placement is explicitly made fun of.
64 - N.P.C.C. - Digimon Savers, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never - Digimon Savers - Sound Clip - It's a funny juxtaposition here. I think we all feel this way about classic Bieber Fever, though the jokes will be dated soon now that he's a bit older.
65 - N.P.C.C. - Tenchi Muyo GxP - Paul Anka - Puppy Love - Isn't she a cat? She looks like a cat.
66 - JINZO64 - Lucky Star OVA, Street Fighter - Street Fighter - Sound Clip - What is this? I don't even.... I do not get this clip. Is he horny for lolis? I know the meme, but really this just doesn't work. The quality of the old Street Fighter cartoon is also notably terrible and makes the clip kind of an eyesore.
67 - VasSerMan7 - Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie 2: Eternal - Ante Up, Doctor P and Adam F feat. Method Man - The Pit - This is another clip that really is just very well edited, but has no real joke to it (at least not one I'm picking up). I would say this clip would also just work better as an actual AMV.
68 - SplitReality - Nakaimo - My Sister is Among Them! - Japanese 101 - Pick Up Lines in Japanese - Mildly amusing clip. Audio quality seems low, but I've never seen the original so that might be the best there is.
69 - Anthony Zalar - Pokémon - A Day to Remember - I'm Made of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made of? - I liked this clip. Jigglypuff could always stand make her act a little more hardcore. My one complaint is it might either be too long, or just stray off topic with some of its footage (notably the lip-flapping ash in one clip).
70 - Jack Stow - Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni - Anchorman - Sound Clip - Could use some better editing, but this clip was decently funny.
71 - CitizenRoman - Katte ni Kaizou - Dust Devil- D-Code - I had no idea this song even had a name. I didn't like this clip. I do get it, but I just didn't really find it to be that funny, except for maybe the bloody shorts at the end. It fit though and I think others would probably like it.
72 - Avirx8 - Soul Eater - Dumb and Dumber - Sound Clip - What? I guess I don't get it. Weird sound. I've never seen Dumb and Dumber so I don't know if I need to see that to understand this clip or not.
73 - VasSerMan7 - HappinessCharge PreCure! - Savant - Amerika - Another clip I don't get at all here. There's some dubstep being used and some very nice editing, but no real humor that I can detect. Maybe the editor could have used the character who uses a guitar for this clip as another "surprise! It's dubstep!" joke that we've already had a few too many of before, but I have got nothing here.
74 - SSGWNBTD - Grave of the Fireflies - Tobuscus - Depressing Song - Haha. At first this clip is a let down and then it delivers like a truck through the wall.
75 - the4ten - Kill la Kill - 50 Cent - Straight to the Bank - Probably could have ended this clip right after the first laugh (since the goofiness of it plus this dork's face is pretty much the best this clip has to offer) Otherwise, another pretty good clip.
76 - Otaku Lounge Productions - Fullmetal Alchemist, Ouran High School Host Club, Kill la Kill, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Soul Eater - Sprint Commercial - Friend Request - I'm going to skip reviewing all of these, since they are all pretty much the same. I like them, but I understand they ended up being in both this and Salad which is very unfortunate since it upset some viewers (though really...who the **** careS?). The editing is well done with excellent character selection.
77 - VasSerMan7 - Evangelion 1.11, Evangelion 2.22, Asa Made Jugyo Chu!, Mysterious Girlfriend X - SMOOTH - From Within - I'm noticing a theme with Vasserman's clips. This is another one that is well edited, but doesn't deliver that much on humor, but more so than the others. I feel these clips needed to be more spaced out as I've done four of this clips in this segment and they are pretty similiar in design to one another.
78 - CitizenRoman - MMD Wrestlem@ster 765 - Castrol Oil Edge Commercial - The subtitle editing is a nice touch to this clip. I didn't like this one the first time, but hearing it more clearly and reading the subtitles made me enjoy it a lot more.
79 - SSGWNBTD - Super Sonico: The Animation - Sips and The Yogscast - Big Girl - ....This clip sucks. She doesn't even really fit the idea of a girl who is too big, when there are lots of truly fat character footage to choose from out there. The editing is pretty sloppy (the repeated eating clip just seems lazy as all hell, and there is nothing beyond that to make it look like she actually eats a lot).

I actually find the "look at me now" clip hilarious. Just the literalness of it... like when the monster is looking at her, or when she falls down on the paper. Something about it just cracks me up.
Also, you've not seen dumb and dumber? Wtf is wrong with you man?

57 - VasSerMan7 - Blood-C: The Last Dark - Karmin - Look At Me Now - This is very well edited. It's nice quality too. However, the clip lacks a real joke. Would probably make a decent full AMV.
I have to agree with this. The only "joke" I saw was the paper thing at the end....and that wasn't all that funny. The clip was awesome, sure, but I didn't find it funny. Then again I'm having a hard time even understanding most of the lyrics, so maybe it would be funnier if I looked the lyrics up. Still would be cool to see it as a full blown AMV.

75- this I'm a bit conflicted on. On one hand; it made the joke pretty clear within the first few seconds, and probably didn't need to drag on. On the other hand, I wanted to see more of it. Would probably make another cool AMV....if there was more screentime for the guy. With as little screentime as he gets, a full length AMV would have to repeat footage on more than one occasion....at that's not a good thing. As it is I enjoyed the clip overall.
76- I enjoyed these clips as well, especially the first. I was a bit disappointed when it didn't end with a "**** Greg" or something along those lines, though. Then again it likely would've needed to use a different voice for that part, and that would kinda ruin the joke.

I think the joke was actually supposed to be about how big her butt and boobs are. The eating part was probably just thrown in to match the lyrics.
That....and she kinda does seem fatter than normal in those clips. Maybe my brain's just trying to make the clip work better, though. Or maybe my frame of reference is being thrown off by her huge ass.

Well I thought it was the flab bulges and her rather large ass sticking out of the swimsuit, it worked for me, but it wasn't all that good and went on for a while.

I agree with the sloppy editing and more variety of scenes could have been used, but this was still one of my favorites.
As soon as the show started airing, there were a lot of jokes made around her for her size. The joke cracked me up and I thought she fit great.
I like reading these reviews, thanks for taking out the time for them.

66 - JINZO64 - Lucky Star OVA, Street Fighter - Street Fighter - Sound Clip - What is this? I don't even.... I do not get this clip. Is he horny for lolis? I know the meme, but really this just doesn't work. The quality of the old Street Fighter cartoon is also notably terrible and makes the clip kind of an eyesore.
What is this? that is a good question. I have no good answer.
So I'm sticking with my previous answer of I wanted to make a video using the Bison going YES Clip.
I agree the quality of the old street fighter footage is bad.
I made and I don't get what the point of the clip is anymore.
So sorry about that.:sweatdrop:

wait, Sonico's legitimately fat? It's not just her huge ass throwing off my frame of reference? I thought she was supposed to be perfect in every way, shape, and form!
