Great animation. I thought the intro "distant future" part was a bit boring and could have been done better, but for the most part it was awesome. I absolutely loved the way you did the robo boogie at the end.
Good animation, and I guess some may find it amusing. Personally I just found it annoying. The screaming was constantly in an annoying pitch with no variation in tone. Frankly it gave me a headache. I have found similar comedic efforts funny, but they tend to do more than a monotone scream throughout the duration.
At first the flash came off as stupid with overplayed jokes in a worn out medium. Honestly, I have seen everything that was done in this flash before. Still, for some reason I found myself laughing. For that I can't help but give you an 8.
If you actually made a series of this, it has the potential to be hilarious. As a standalone, however, it leaves much to be desired. Not particularly funny or original. It was well animated and had good voice acting, but then again you always please in this department.
Nice satire on rpg's. Personally I think it was perfect. Any longer and you would run the risk of boring people, any shorter and the point might not get across. Of course it looks like there are people who can't take a joke regardless :P
I started this expecting a comedy and instead was forcefed a plate of epic awesomeness. I don't know why you labeled this a comedy but the video itself was incredible. Great music choice too!
Great animation and music. A bit confused on the story though. I understand the whole child rejecting father only to again return to the father's arms after experiencing the world's harshness bit (although your rendition changes the meaning of the parable subtly). What I don't get is if the robot is a daughter from the beginning, a son that transforms into a daughter (the whole scene where he is picked up by a female robot makes me think this even though it is strange), or simply an androgynous robot that finds a sex when discovering her humanity. I guess the last one makes the most sense to me. If the robot is androgynous then that, one could argue, emphasizes it's lack of humanity that is only discovered upon returning to the father's embrace.
Also, on a side note, I think the parable loses some of its meaning when father seeks out the child. This way it becomes more about how the father protects his children and less about how the father forgives his children. Still there is meaning to this retelling, so it does hold water.
Well as a robot she just followed whatever felt good to her, she is female but that wouldn't matter to her.
Yes it does lose a lot of the meaning from the parable. But in the parable it says something like"While the prodigal was still a long way off the father ran to him and embraced him"

I couldn't figure out what to make with that beginning so, yeah, it ended up boring.
The robo-boogie was the funnest part to animate!

True to life
Honestly I didn't think it was very funny. It was simply too real. Reminds me of the last time I went to a GameStop.

Not Bad
Wasn't impressed with the comedy, but it wasn't bad and the animation was good. I loved the ending music though. That made it worth the watch.

Loved every minute of it. A bit trippy and weird, but a hilarious and creative way of putting your extra scenes together.
