The animation was pretty lackluster, the voice acting was overall annoying and the jokes didn't make me laugh once. There is little more painful than when a shitty joke falls flat.

I think the author is a piece of pooh too.

There are a lot of kickbacks to classic shticks in old cartoons that I really enjoy in this series, a sort of homage to the tried and true slapstick of the greatest generation. Really, a sort of cathartic feeling on a shitty website where humor involves penises more often than not.

A lot of Venture Bros. I love it as always.

FF8 sucked, FF7 was overrated and the original JRPG's were pretty shallow. That doesn't make for good parodies, my friend, but you obviously put in a lot of effort. I can't say I approve of your taste in games, but the animation was solid, the jokes were . . . at least making sense but the voice acting was quite awful.

Very well done. Any scrutiny I could provide to this fine submission would be a moot point as it is already far superior to 90% of the content on this site in writing; honest, well planned and prepared humor; consistent, enjoyable and appropriate animation and voice acting. You have created another masterpiece in the sea of mediocrity and FAIL that is Newgrounds.

"That is some nostalgic parody"
It looks like it could actually be on the television, to do that in flash without even being payed for it deserves much praise.

But it seriously isn't 10 material.
It was nice, I enjoyed the choice of music and found the laid back style of the animation refreshing, but there is no game here. There is nothing artistic about this, really. I don't understand, if I filmed a lump of my own shit and set it to soft piano music and called it something artsy, would I make front page too?
It IS nice, it is far from bad, but it isn't worth all the mindless praise it gets from the community who seem to shit their pants whenever they see anything out of the NG norm and immediately label it as deep. This wasn't deep, it was just a brief, satisfying breath of fresh air.

And what's more, this was also in poor quality. If your going to make fun of the deaths of thousands of innocents then at least have the courtesy to do it with some style and make it at least somewhat fun on some level.

It's like a fucking episode of Family Guy, stringing together a bunch of gags and hoping for a rise. Well you got like one genuine laugh out of me, and for NG that's pretty weak, but the animation was fairly good and the voice acting was, honestly, outstanding compared to most things on this site. Good job, jut get better jokes next time and you're sure to get a 10 from me.
Author's Response:
Sorry this one wasn't quite your taste. As I've said before, this isn't exactly our style of comedy either, but we like to constantly change it up and flex our comedic muscles in all areas considered funny.
We were conscious of the "Family Guy" similarities, however we tried to make our cutaways a bit more fluid than the whole "Remember the time" and we tried to give them purpose and relation to the scene at hand rather than throwing something random in your face in a hope to make you laugh. We are well aware of the reasons to criticize Family Guy because of this, and we are right there criticizing with you, but it is a valid narrating technique when done properly, it just automatically gets labeled as "Family Guy" when it is animated.
I am extremely happy that you were able to find some sense of quality in our short with the voice acting and animation and I hope you will check out more of our flashes as they are all different and I believe you may like some of the others better.
Thanks for the review.

Honestly, not front page material. Parodies are the lowest of the low, and this one gave what it promised, another Mario parody. The mustaches made me smile a little but everything else, meh. I can't really tell you how it would be better because the only parodies I've ever liked that much are Egoraptors, and it is pretty hard to be that good.
