[Love Buggery]

Despite how short the flash was, I have to admit that I liked it. The animation and graphics were actually quite good, as was the sound. Maybe that is how the love bug virus operates after all. The bug did look tired after all that, and while there wasn't much to it, it did make me laugh. A nice little flash.

[PRELOADER HELP CLICK]

I actually don't mind that this was very bare bones, just the white text and black background, even if the gradation button looked kinda bad. My only problem is that the tutorial is wrong. You don't need ot make an extra scene for a preloader (or really anything in flash). You also use not instead of now in a couple spots, which completely inverts what you're trying to say and makes me utterly lost as to which way to do anything.

[Stick Dudes: Walk in Park]

This is a tough one to rate. The story was actually fairly solid, even it it did drag on kinda long. Clicking the boxes was a nice touch, yet with how long the story was it was a bit of a pain. Wasn't much to the stick animations at all, and everything was really simplistic. Despite all that, I did chuckle a bit, and the ending came completely out of nowhere. The stick sex was pretty funny as well, I have to admit.

[YOU NAME IT!]

On the one hand, my immediate thought for this flash was, that's it? It barely lasted five seconds. The preloader seemed to have more going on than the flash. As for what happened, it did give me a chuckle, and the animation that did exist was very good. Would have liked to see way more than what was here, it felt like a teaser for something better.

[Sponsor a starving child]

This is one that could have been decent, but it went in the wrong direction. The animation at the start was alright enough, and the african kid had a bit of a South Park feel to him. Then suddenly, it moved to a beer and that was the whole flash. It felt like there was a lot missing that could have been added in. Also, beer hardly costs two bucks these days so it doesn't really stand the test of time, if it even did then.

[Lum the Fat]

My expectations weren't all that high given the description and preload notice, but this was actually quite funny. Even 13 years later, there are more people just like that than ever on the internet. As for the flash itself, the graphics itself were quite good for its time, and the animation was ok if choppy. The sound effects were good as well, particularly the mom. The Mr. T thing at the end seemed a bit too off the wall to be laugh out loud funny, but otherwise really good.

[Dirtæ's Big Day]

This flash was, in a word, weird. When the Pope showed up iI made the same motion with my arms, wondering what was going on. The music was decent, and the graphics weren't terrible at the beginning,even if they seemed to stop halfway through. By the time he got to Tony Danza I was utterly confused as to what was going on, and I remained confused for the rest of the flash. If it was meant to be humorous, then it left me scratching my head instead.

[Idiots Anonymous - ep. 3]

A very nice flash, a step up from the rather disappointing second episode. The animation and graphics were nice, if a bit simplistic. The guys were pretty funny, and the guy they ran over was great to watch as well. The voices were also clear, which says a lot even nowadays. One of the better flashes from 2000.

[The Truth Of It All]

Um... I'm not really sure about what to say. The animation was minimalistic, with a few small figures as graphics and that's it. Then it ends with noting that squirrels are controlling us. Admittedly, i did not watch this after midnight, but I don't imagine I would have missed anything that much. If squirrels had that much power and it convinced me after midnight, I would presume that I'd need sleep.

[Bill Clinton - Homo]

I couldn't tell if you spliced in Clinton himself talking, or if that was voice acting, so you at least have that going for this flash. That's really all it is though, just Clinton talking for a couple seconds with a picture moving, and that's it. Really nothing to it, even though the voice was solid.
