Game Dogs: Episode Three: Mr. Yee

[Screw_it]

I tried. But the lack of funny makes it hard. Maybe it needs a laugh track, so I know when a joke was made. Or maybe the creators are diagnosed with the dreaded "not funny syndrome", the same retardation the writer's of Two and a Half Men suffer from.

Just a suggestion, but there are sooooo many better web cartoons your sponsors could be throwing money at. Hell, I'm sure there's a furry-related one floating around if that's what gets your rocks off.

Just sayin...

game dogs drinking game:

-everytime a joke misses completely, take a drink
-everytime gary repeats himself due to lack of writer creativity, take a drink
-everytime the girl says anything, snort a line of salt
-everytime 30 seconds pass with essentially nothing being said, stop watching

I don't think there's ever been a drinking game more capable of causing liver failure than this one.

 

[Fenra]

ok this won me back after last weeks mediocre episode, love Mr. Yee XD

 

[VoidProphet]

I was really starting to wonder how this guy made all that money until about 3:48.

"Morals? We need no morals! If the kids are worshipping Lucifer, make a game for them!"

Sounds perfect for big business, don't it?

 

[oppp7]

It's starting to get funny. Make the rest like this and no one should complain.

 

[Mr. Socky]

Meh. It's gotten better enough (AKA I chuckled once, finally) that I'll stick around for another week.

 

[DazWolf]

I am liking this show the more they get into it.

Then again, maybe it's just the fact that my boss is a lot like Mr. Yee. Forgets what everyone says about thirty seconds after anyone says it.

 

[ssj4raditz]

"Rock and/or Roll music." Haha! Good episode, keep 'em coming guys.

 

[Angry_Bosmer]

I liked it. Thoughtful jokes. A show is never a show until there's a retard character.

 

[mptothedc]

That actually sounds kinda cool. It could be like DOOM in... ANTARCTICA!!!!! DUM DUM DUM!!!! lol this eppy is prob the best so far. At least it keeps getting better!

 

[Hexenwolf]

That was funny, I'm really digging this series.

It was okay, I guess. I'll give it a few more episodes until I make up my mind.

Now, was I imagining it in my head or did I faintly hear voices in the background during the first half of the episode? I don't know if it is meant to add to the ambience of the office, though. If it is: I love it that you're thinking of tiny details such a these.

Those were actually just the voices in your head.

Nice episode now, it's definitely getting better though it could still improve.

Some critiques I have for this, as again, I don't want to go "OMG, AWESUM!" and leave;

1. You've got eye movement down I think, which is super-super, so now you need to work a little bit more of the actual body movements. When Mr. Yee was talking to Gary, Gary was literally just a statue save for one or two blinking eyes. The animation and art style of this show looks like something should be moving every few seconds, even if it is just a subtle change in frame position. Putting their arms to their hips, and then putting it down a little while after can make it look much more fluid and natural instead of standing there with a blink or two.

2. I think Bethany's mouth moves a bit too much when she speaks, it looks like her jaw is about to fall off.

Other than that for the time being, I did enjoy this episode and it is steadily getting better. I look forward to watching more episodes in the series.

I said it before and I'll say this again first: this is a personal thought and this is by no way a straight concern or a gripe but I can't help but feel like the dog subject matter is brought out a little too thick. For me I think the appeal of it is enouph but I can't help but feel like the talk lays it on too thick.

 

[reiem531]

Better than the first 2, but it still really needs some improvement.

 

[Rand-m]

My favorite episode yet. I officially love bot Mr. Yee and Bob. Will definitely be watching again.

 

[equalplatinum]

I'm still not digging the show. Dialogue, slow pacing and plot, very typical and shallow characters and I know everyone's made the cuddles' voice observation but common it's ridiculous. This episode was the 3rd strike for me personally.

I'd like to see the good talent behind this series give it up and try something else cause I don't think the concept is salvageable tbh.

Btw the live studio audience joke isn't even original, and if it was, it would be annoying by now anyways. To me, it's the perfect demonstration of what's wrong with the series as a whole: there are too many mismatched elements that don't provide a funny contrast and instead just grate on each other until you're left with a mess. The behind the scenes episode, also a perfect example.

If the series is going to go on I would recommend The ITcrowd or even better the web series Man in The Box as references on how to make office humor work in short format. The first 3 episodes of this series covered as much plot as it could have in the very first episode and that's fine if the value is in the dialogue and characters like it with Doraleous and Associates but this show doesn't have those kind of characters.

 

[Lizmichi]

Am I the only one that thinks they have a bit poor voice-acting?

OT: Meh, but I'll watch it again and again.

I agree with you on that. The voice acting is meh and monotone. It's bland and unentertaining.
I have issues getting pulled into this and I don't laugh. It's like I can't get into Apocalypse Lane. I just don't think any of it's funny. I've tried to get into both but I can't seem to. The characters are so stereotypically it's predictable. The spunky girl, the cool and lazy worker, the geek, the dumb boss, and the rule following worker. All that's missing so far is the office slut, the black guy and the bosses son and maybe the gay guy. So many other shows have done it better and are funny. Office Space, Code Monkeys, and The Office as just afew.

 

[internetzealot1]

Not as good as ep. 1 but better than 2.
But, "Devil Worship" did get a laugh out of me.
And was Chet's idea a stab at Mario?

 

[ayvee]

Did anybody else get that the "devil game in Antarctica" was a jab at Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey? The game where you kill and/or have tea with demons. In Antarctica.

 

[Eicha]

Still pretty meh, the only part that was really amusing was Mr. Yee talking about Satan.
