Most people don't like illwillpress and Foamy because he really doesn't use animation.

A few of his cartoons where pretty much just one frame and a rant. Similar to a YTMND of old.

They don't like him because all his cartoons are nearly the same. Tweening, backgrounds that are colored, and a whiny voice.

That's the best explanation I can give.

Yes, although they are some very good reasons. i say flash is a tool to be used to the full extent of somones needs. so if he should need 50 or whatever frames and a loud squeeky voice to prove a point thenj so be it.

That is just fine and dandy, but what really makes people mad is that when he does a one frame animation with a rant, it gets a score of 3.5-4.3 almost every time. It takes up space for people who put a lot of effort into a particular piece, and that is why there is so much hate towards illwillpress.

No, it is 2007. Some people weren't here at the time when this controversial issue was first brought into the mainstream eye of Newgrounds. They don't know of the history and they are seeking it. Please try and be a little more understanding about these new members and help them out.

background: google image search + bitmap trace
animation: very minimal shape tweens. usually giant boobs to satisfy users
lip syncing: foamy's is non-existant. everyone else just speaks on a poorly done movie clip loop.
theme: something close to hentai, or some dumb ramble
score: 4.25 OMG FRONT PAGE DAILY FURST PLACE BEST FLASH I'VE EVER SEEEEEN!!!!!!

i used to like foamy. as time went on, and i learned flash more, and listened to more and more of the same crap spew out of his non-existant mouth, it really got to me. i joined the UCFD, and my hate for foamy continued to grow. if it wasn't for the UCFD foamy would still be raping our portal awards :( he's just overrated, well known, eaten up by hot topic kids... ya know, basic stuff that pisses off internet users. plus illwill can't animate for shit. maybe he can, but he choses not to... i dunno :X

I don't like the fact that Foamy gets credit for being this great cartoon when in all reality it's probably the worst cartoon on the site when you look at it from a techincal point of view.

Foamy has a terrible voice that is hard to hear and there is little, and often times, absolutly no animation to it. It's one or two still frames with a single tweening image of a badly drawn squirrel popping up in diffrent locations on the screen for two minutes.

He always makes the front page taking the spot away from talented artists that actually put a lot of work into their flash and all of his movies always get a score of 4 or above simply because their garunteed to pass through the portal making them free protect points causing everybody to vote 5 even though they're barely worth a 3.

On top of that, any bad reviews left for it, even if written in an acceptible manner, are marked as abusive and removed because Foamy has one of the most annoying set of fan-boys any cartoon on the site could have. To top it off, the jokes have gotten stale, the setup has never changed, and he's been reduced to needlessly showing off Germaine's tits because illWill is more conserned with selling sex then he is humor or expressing his opinons.

It's a terrible sham of a cartoon that doesn't deserve all of the attention it gets and for some reason, Tom Fulp and the crew love to place him on just about every page of the website knowing that the majority of die-hard NG fans absolutly dispise him.

Maybe Neurotically Yours would work better as a webcomic. IWP's style is comic-like and minimalistic anyway, so I don't see why he should bother animating some of them at all and turning them into .swf when a cool .jpeg with speech bubbles would be better. I'm not saying all of his animations are bad; I like some of them, many of them a little less, an others I don't like at all. The point is that almost anything that happens in IWP's submissions could easily be told by the means of comics instead, and in certain cases, that would be a much better and funnier option. The humour wouldn't suffer from the annoyance of the squeaky squirrel voice so much.

I wont get into what I like and dont like about the foamy cartoons, but hey some people like his stuff and he contributes a lot to the site (or used to), so I figured for one time in my life I'd cut him a break and put him up in the header art.
