LOL at yiffpile! Another funny episode all around. Love Bob, and Gary, and Roger--he IS badass. Definitely sensing Beth/Rog-ness. ^.~ I thought the dialogue was great here.
So I?m still baffled at all the people being WAY overly harsh on this little series. It seems ridiculous that one wouldn?t find it at the very least mildly amusing. It?s not intended to be riotously funny, but it has elicited audible laughter and chuckling from me (and no, I wouldn't find just anything funny...although I can probably find something funny about almost anything...does that make any sense at all?) No matter. All I know is, I don?t waste time watching things that I know I genuinely dislike. There must be SOMEthing that keeps everybody clicking ?play? on the new GD videos?and unless they?re masochists, it?s probably something that they like about it, or hope to see and like. (Or complete boredom, I guess.)
Really though. This isn?t the world?s greatest cartoon or anything, but come on! All the complaints about the ?animated before a live studio audience? thing. If that simple, grin-worthy little joke were part of the show?s opening?would you still be that tired of it? Do you get sick of watching the openings to TV shows before every episode? It?s so easy to criticize, even when it?s undeserved, and to tear apart a simple animated cartoon on the Internet. Oooh! You seriously would do better? Even if so?who cares? This should entertain you for five or six minutes at a time. If not, the solution is simple: Quit watching. No one?s asking you to like the show. Different strokes for different folks. Doesn?t mean it needs to be bashed every Thursday.
And we?re still wondering why they?re dogs?! Why the Game Dogs are dogs?!? Oh my goodness gracious, why is anything anything?! Would it be any more pleasing to you if they were humans? Or goats? Or wombats? I just accepted it from the beginning. I don?t require a perfectly logical explanation for everything. It works just fine and that?s all that matters.
The animation itself is not outstanding, but I?m in an animation class at university right now. I know how hard it is and can?t fault them too much. As Gary tried to tell us in his rather brilliant response: ?Animation takes a long time. A LONG TIME!? Being able to churn out a new episode, ANY new episode, even one of 4-6 minutes, of a mini-sitcom every week is nothing to sneeze at. (Btw, I agree with everything Tenmar has said.)
Glancing over comments is somewhat puzzling?in most cases, it?s like, ?what more do you want?! What would capture your interest better?!? Everyone?s picking on Bethany all the time. Yet?what exactly do you want from her?? Perhaps the thing that bugged me most of all was not the ?SIGH? but all the unbelievable comments about how the ?SIGH?-ing is so annoying! I do not understand AT ALL what is irritating about that. That?s her. That?s something she does. If a movie or TV character or real person did it often (not constantly, but frequently), it?d just be their ?thing.? But somehow every time Bethany does it, people think it?s horrible. Once again I?m utterly bewildered.
