Reviews for "Sketched - Super Bored"

Dry humor, but a slow burn

The humor of this was rather funny, but it was a real slow burn. I love it when humor takes it's time, but some of this was just a little too slow for my tastes. Was still very enjoyable.

The art was excellent however, even if there was not that dynamic animation in comparison to the two heroes just standing around and talking.

Overall a solid submission with a lot going for it.

I can totally understand if it's not to your taste, thanks for the fair review anyways, you don't always see that. You made a lot of good points and things to work on for our next animations. I hope we piqued your interest enough to check out the next ones. Thanks again for the review.

Missed the mark

It was not as funny as "pregnancy test" for me because that one seemed like it could've been based on a real situation and real people. This one is based on old-TV-show superhero stereotypes. Making fun of something that doesn't actually exist is a bit lame and not nearly as funny.

So my suggestion would be to pick something that more people can recognize from their daily lives next time. "Pregnancy test" was brilliant because it was just plausible, while being exaggerated enough to make me laugh.

The animation's really secondary here, but it seemed fine to me.

Cool, thanks for the review, you have a nack for always making really good points and (thankfully) backing them up with good logic so we know what to work on in the future.

Because we have a number of different writers with different tastes we think it's important to switch things up from scene to scene, and as with most sketch comedy, I expected some of our work to be a bit hit and miss with different groups of people. Coming from a background in comics and illustration, i really responded to the idea of "two super heroes having a conversation about meeting women just as you might expect two people in an office to," when it was pitched, however I do recognize that this idea is a bit more risky since it appeals to a more niche audience than 'pregnancy test' did.

You will definitely see more things akin to "pregnancy test" in the future, but I think it's important to experiment and see what works, elsewise working on these projects would become old hat and feel 'hacky' real quick. It's also important to know what peope respond to and what they don't, so again, thank you for your reviews.

ohh they did not talk at all or move

They did nothing just sit there

There may have been a problem with your system. I double checked the video and it is still in working order. Sorry you were inconvenienced.
