[Total Skit Show]

Animation is fun and bouncy, jokes and pacing suck.

Some of the jokes were either too drawn out or just...nothing. It's sweet you let your friends write skits for you, I appreciate you doing that for them and it was probably really fun, but for someone like me who can only see the end results, it's not very enjoyable.

[Brother & Sister: Ep 4 - "Handguns"]

No offence but it's confusing seeing you talk about revising character designs and having the idea for years with this being the end result.
Animation designed to be simplistic can work with context or if the writing, pacing and comedy is good, but it doesn't work here because there's nothing else going on. Dialogue is boring, jokes aren't funny, voice acting is bland etc.

Character designs are probably my least favourite part. Probably the most uninspired designs I've seen for a while, even if the animation style wasn't as simple as it is.
You've been doing this for a long time so I feel like you could do a lot better and considering this was released in February I hope you actually make something that's interesting and looks good.

[RED DEAD REDEMPTION DUH]

Best part is by far the animation. Pacing was kinda frustrating, and the joke of a dead eyed protagonist walking around and being a wacky random psychopath whilst never once showing emotion is overplayed as shit and boring at this point but overall for a short and silly animation it's pretty alright.

[Amsterdam Sucks - The Train Trouble]

This is kinda...bad?
Just not to be a dick, but the actual story isn't very interesting, definitely not for the odd1sout storytelling kinda format. At the very least you could've made it more fun and engaging with some jokes and quips, but you just told the story in a very standard fashion. Also speaking of theodd1sout, I think it'd be way more interesting to have your own identity instead of trying to loosely mimic James' video style.

As for the actual art, I can't really say much positive about it either. The linework is all extremely shabby and it doesn't even seem like a stylistic choice, just lazy and rushed. You also leave a ton of empty space in the frame when your character is onscreen, try making it bigger or making a new design that's from the waist up.

Also as one last suggestion, adjust the music ever so slightly, it's just a tad too loud and cancels out the voice at some points. Hope this helps, been a while since it was submitted and I'd like to see you succeed.

[A Pokémon GO Cartoon]

I really love the artstyle and how expressive the animation is. Kinda gets dragged down by the pacing tho, sometimes things went on for a second or two too long. I think the joke that worked the best was the scene with everyone standing in a circle just tapping their phones because the anti-climatic nature of it as well as how it poked fun at something people actually do made it a joke worth building up to. was good shit.

love your work, keep doin the good shit

[Bob Sponge]

This is dumb as hell

I love it, great job.

[The Noob Song 2]

Could do with a lot of work. There isn't really an art style, because every shot looks inconsistent, especially with the linework, which doesn't connect most of the time. You also don't really do anything interesting with the visuals; Obviously when re-creating something as your own you can bring something new to the table but you don't really do that, it's just stickmen standing there with their mouths open. Try adding more relevant imagery to fit the lyrics.

Try developing your style more and practice making the art a lot more cleaner. And it's pretty much a given but practice animation more, so there's more cool stuff to look at.

[Cream]

The best use of this kind of style I've ever seen. Combined with the music it really sets up this tone that just makes you feel sick. Also I don't know if it was intentional but the voice actors sound like they're talking directly into the mic, giving some uncomfortable ASMR feeling. David Firth knows how to make shit creepy.
