A nice, funny, original short timed well with music.
It was really entertaining and nice to see.
The animation was decent too, which was a plus.
Definitely wanting more from you!

"Horrendous Scripting paired with Terrible Voices."
First thing is first, please check the volume on ALL of your audio tracks to check if they are loud enough. Most of the time all the voices were drowned out by the music, making them pretty much impossible to hear.
Anyways, to the bulk of my review.
First off, stolen graphics tweened haphazardly across the screen. The least you can do with sprites are to take some time and ease some of the tweens to make them look nicer, but that seemed to be a bit much work as well. Now you said to vote fairly because it was sprites, not that I normally decide to unfairly vote on any submission compared to another. Regardless, sprites are stolen artwork and that is that. There is no denying that. Unless you want to somehow prove that you drew every single one of the things presented on screen, then please PM me with your artwork and I'll see for myself if you actually drew it.
The voice acting just sounded like some kid with a mic saying shit, making the movie really bland. It was annoying to try and follow because the volume of the voices were so low compared to the music that when I even heard a voice well, it didn't hold my attention.
The timing of your jokes was really awkward and not that funny. In fact, most of the jokes weren't funny to begin with. All the humor was random cock jokes and homosexual humor executed poorly. I couldn't really find any memorable moments in this flash that would make me go, "i'd watch this again" or, "i'd show this to others." The punchline was really weak, which also made this flash forgetful.
The lip syncing was literally just a circle of a mouth getting bigger and smaller. I would like to say that the Lip Sync was tied well to the voices which was a positive point for this piece. Try actually using different types of mouths. For example, does your mouth in real life actually turn from a small circle to a big one? Do you show your tongue or teeth in the word/syllable you are speaking?
Suggestions?
Try and draw your characters in your flash. I'd rather see some bad art than see you give up and default to sprites.
Practice Practice Practice.
Work on scripting.
Work on voices.
Work on drawing.
If you keep practicing, you'll get better. :)
I hope this review is helpful for ya.

The stuff with the volume was kinda troubling,I wanted to correct it in the most places again but then I thought "Uh,fuck that,I'll submit the damn thing already".
I really would like to do some drawn stuff as well,but I can't animate Kirby characters right now (maybe because I mainly work on chibi-drawings since I dunno when. But I use generally sprites for the series,because I wanted to make it kinda in one way or another similar to Bowser's Kingdom. (note: DeDeDe's Minions is actually a tribute to this series/was inspired)
Voices: Oh well,maybe it's just my voice. But you are damn right about the volume thing.
Jokes... uh...well this was written in two days or something like that and I am a German student who's still learning. Didn't expect much points for this anyways.
Lipsynching this was imo the worst part in making the movie,that's why it got kinda delayed. I finished it yesterday so I just wanted to finish.
Anyways,thanks for the review.

This was quite spectacular.
Your art is very stylish. Your drawings are what kept me wanting more.
You had a nice feel throughout the video and mixed it well with the music.
My only down side to this is the fact that you played to the camera alot with transitions and zooms instead of having more actual animation.
Sure its nice to have every once in awhile to set a mood or an effect, but I felt it was used in excess.
Some of the bounce up and down tweens were a little awkward, but didn't really detract from the piece as a whole.
This was by far one of my favorite Halloween entries this year.
I hope you win something. :)

Seriously, somebody needs to put lyrics on this.
The record scratching was done quite superbly.
The piano was done nicely.
My only issue was the drums, but hey, it still was a great piece!

This song is so addictive and the fact that it is a loop doesn't help much either. haha
I can imagine a kickass flash fight scene to this song.
Definitely going to make it sometime!
