I like the blockhead series. I like that blockhead has a discordant consciounce. Though I was sure that blockhead looked the way he saw himself, and the conscience was really him because everyone else around him looks normal. Somehow he'd managed to flip them around--the looney. lol, I'm not sure I believe it's only his conscience.

I think you should do what you think is funny. Even though blockhead has a definite humor to him, re-using jokes is like watching an episode twice--which is bad... However, just like words are events repeatable. How many times can you use a joke in the one sentence? paragraph? chapter? ... novel?

I think it's three. Just because you use the same joke twice, doesn't mean it's less intelligent. Use it in different contexts to make new meanings. Try to make the joke pass more quickly the more you use it. Short sharp humor is just regular humor but faster. The number of different jokes you have is your dictionary. Write new sentences with the jokes you have. Ah, permutations. Re-arrange different sentences to make new paragraphs. How fast can you read? Do you find the majority of humor like a sedative?

Ren and stimpy used different facial expressions everytime they did something even faintly involving their face. Is consistant newness a style in its self?

Im more a viewer than a flasher, and I can say I appreciate fully developed series like Broken Saints and Thamesis even though they are peculiar. Remember Salad Fingers? I dont.

I agree with you in that it should be a FLASH site over an ANIMATION site. An example of such a FLASH site would be Newgrounds and its Games section. I can, however, understand the view that regulated material is good material. On the same agenda you should persist with jokes many people enjoy--even if you think they're stupid. Besides, blockhead is already a hit, and a little change here and there wont hurt so long as nothing to bizarr makes it turn it into something else.

Personally i love mean blockhead. Like for example in the most recent episode Blockhead said to conscience "Watch your language, little kiddies are around" and then he wacked the kid over the head and he fell over without the mother even noticing. I laughed SOOOO hard. Same thing with the begining, when he was mean to the kid trying to go to sleep who wanted to go to cheerleading camp, well this is just my opinion

I'm really not sure what to say about Blockhead. I mean, I've been a fan for almost a year now (and you already know that), but I'm not really one to inspire.

If it helps my favorite flash of all time is Blockhead 7. Blockhead wasn't stupid to the point of being predictable or boring, he was just being an asshole, and the conscience's reactions and demands were priceless. That's how I like Blockhead.

The thing about Blockhead is that when you start to evolve in your writing in animating skills, you previous projects seem to pail in comparison to all the stuff you're doing now. The material is always fresh, but you seem to be trying too hard in the later episodes in order to stay fresh in the eyes of the Newgrounds viewers. The Weevil is a perfect example of trying to introduce a new character to make things seem "new". This is what many long running animated shows on television do in order to not seem repetitive in the eyes of the viewers. Shows like The Simpsons and Spongebob Squarepants are perfect examples of this "practice". What I am saying is that you need to keep it the way it was originally. Don't worry about what people say. No matter how hard anyone tries, you can never please everyone, especially on Newgrounds. As for constructive criticism, you need to do somewhat with Blockhead like what you did in the first few episodes. Like him running the his refrigerate and all you see is a knife, drain clean and a cinderblock and all he does is name them as random foods. That was true Blockhead material. The conscience needs to be somewhat angry, but at the same time "mellow". Being too angry can make a character seem annoying and unfunny at times. Other than that, his angry is right on the perfect level. I hope this helped.

About Blockhead, I like his new hair movement, I also like the house scenes but I would also like him to venture out more and do stuff(destroy, annoy, piss off, etc.). What I don't like is the characters like his neighbor, never does anything GOOD about it(destroyed property, that kind of stuff.). I would also like to know more about the weird, mysterious weevil(although I don't really care about him(it?)). I also like Blockhead when he is in ADD mode. I also like the "randomness". I guess its not really random but It looks random for the average guy that it becomes really humorous(Stop sign thing, in time squad, "I am very good at answering questions, I said I am very good at answering questions! Sign my velociraptor![Right spelling?]). I would also like you to delve into Blockhead's past(could he be a Hyper-genious?, could he be a warrior from the future disguised as an idiot? stuff like those) Oh yeah! i'm a bit bored of the neighborhood and it would be really cool if he travelled to another place(vacation) or something. I would also like the conscience to be a tiiiinyyy bit more "Okay... Please... don't hurt anybody....and *blockhead interruppts* HEY!!!!! YOU SAID YOU WOULD HEAR ME OUT!!!!!" And how on earth did you make such a beautiful picture? PLEEEASSSEEEE....... Teach me how to do them!!! I am making a flash right now and my shading looks weird!!!! Please reply!

edjeil 2008-04-01 04:29:16

I <3 U AND I LOVE UR FLASH MOVIE MASTERMIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black-Blood-Brother 2008-04-01 09:23:05

I'm not fan of you anymore...
You see, I live in Finland, and you made Mastermind to blow this place up!
This is an outrage! What do you say, if I show this to our President?
Answer me!!!

Superior-Babboon 2008-04-01 09:40:51

Generally I like Novels, but when its done in flash (like Broken Saints) i don't enjoy it, for some reason it seems more boring then when reading a novel comic or book on paper.
Also, your Mastermind series are kickarse (much better than Blockhead).

Krinkels 2008-04-01 12:47:37

Blockhead porn please.

Howtopian 2008-04-01 19:19:31

You are funky dunky, love.

And I have to agree with you, about the Boosh, the third series was funny, but not gold from the heart of Shoreditch like the first two. On with the show, though. In my most humblest humble opinions (the ones about women), remember that the Conscience is a mastermind idea, but he's only funny when he's, Iunno, kept in the balance between angry, responsible, afraid for the lives of the general populace, and full of disdain. That's what makes him funny, but it gone a bit tilted towards disdain, which does get dry on it's own.

And more extreme actions from Blockhead, as in, from the STOP scene as the norm, goes to him abducting a baby or something. It's only funny if it's unexpected. But you've got the reactions of the people just right. And Mastermind was a MASTERpiece (wit of a rock...), so congrats on that series.

I've just written you a lecture by accident. Oh well...

Sawdust 2008-04-01 21:33:10

HOW DO YOU FEEL? MASTERMIND 3 WAS ONLY ON THE FRONT PAGE FOR A DAY.

thatguy176 2008-04-01 22:07:44

How many episodes do you intend to make for the "Mastermind" series?

Graeme 2008-04-02 01:00:20

I think your stearing the Blockhead in the right direction.
Honestly the newest (Ghostmas special) was one of my favorites.

The destructive Blockhead is hilarious. He has some kind of innocent violence. even though he is vandalising everything, it is often not enough to cause serious consequences. (Well, some should. They just don't) But that's good.

I think you wore out the house episodes. There is only so much a character can do in his own home. It is still fine to maybe have an intro, or in betweem scenes there, but setting Blockhead into the open world is hilarious.
Hilarious because it's definately not something you'd want anywhere near you or your family.

I'd say my last point would be to get rid of Weevil. He had a good joke or two, but I think the character got worn out pretty fast.
Newer, more exciting characters always add entertainment value though
