"Awesome-tastic"

submission: A Tribute to my Mum

date: May 10, 2009

This is a really sweet, thoughtful and considerate thing to do for Mother's Day. I wish I had the kind of talent to create witty, flash gifts for my Mother but c'est la vie, I'm stuck with the traditional card. But hey, it's the thought that counts right?

Either way this was a hilarious, entertaining and some what heart warming flash. Your mom is lucky to have you. Oh and my Mom told me the same thing about gum when I was a little, causing me to avoid it for half a decade.

Score: 8

"Pretty good"

submission: Fj: Alternative Part

date: May 10, 2009

I actually enjoyed this a lot, it's nice to see a video on here with a pretty good story line and not a lot of obscene jokes. I found myself laughing pretty hard at some of the jokes and Indiana Jones references.

The animation wasn't superb (as other reviewers will tell you) but it was decent enough, especially the fight scene. One of the better flashes I've seen this week, it deserves at the very least a four. I could tell you put a lot of effort into this and it was very entertaining so I settled with a five.

Score: 10

"Good 'ole fashion racism"

submission: Blackhead

date: May 10, 2009

This is a hilarious parody of classic Looney Tunes comics and Blockhead, but what seals the deal is that extra (but necessary) racism thrown in there. I love how this characters main objective is to get watermelon and how the police officer has an alert whenever he sees a nig- I mean African American. This is how racism is supposed to be done.

Plus you can never go wrong with Carol from Aqua Teen, anyone else notice his mannerisms have an incredible likeness to the conscience in Blockhead? It's a conspiracy! Either way great job, may this forever remain immortalized in the Portal.

Score: 8

"Excellent"

submission: Slow & Steady

date: September 14, 2008

I thought this was actually pretty good although I wouldn't categorize it as a Rhythm and Blues song but rather a Jazz Ballad or something similar. Rhythm and Blues--even in modern instances--usually consists of consecutive instrumentals, vocals (usually repeating similar lyrics during the chorus and non-linear yet familiar in rhythm and key lyrics during the verses), multiple versus, and some consecutive "chorus." I can understand the misconception, R&B is a broad term and in its early years was perceived to be a variation of Jazz or any music which was influenced by African American artists. I enjoyed this song nonetheless, the guitar loop was a nice addition and the arrangement of these instruments was fantastic. However in overall content it seemed to be lacking.

"Best prank call ever!"

submission: "Kid" prank to pizza place

date: August 31, 2008

The ending was epic "give me my damn pepperoni!"

Score: 9

"A young Grover Washington, Jr."

submission: Without a Ticket

date: August 30, 2008

Your horn player is one of the most talented instrumentalists I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, I'm surprised you haven't received more acclaim for your works.
