Man, I wanted to read all the reviews but about half-way through noticed the day was half over! And indeed (as you point out in some cases) most of them are pure crap.
You're better looking than Gary, and while as many have pointed out you're trying to mimic the original, when you move into the camera your facial expressions are great! The video quality is better than the original, but still kind of crappy. Next time you're really bored at your friend's house, try setting the camera to a higher resolution, and add more lighting, so you don't get that 'static.' Also, if you're going to loop it I suggest a 'spacer' since the song starts low and muffled, and ends loud and clear - so when it loops it sounds like a bad edit.
Originally I was going to suggest you tell your friend to stay out of the camera, but since a lot of people seemed to find that a high point in the video, I guess he can wander around all he wants.
As with Gary, just having some fun and sharing the moment on Newgrounds earns points in my book! And rather than listen to all the Zeros who apparently hate you for doing another Numa, I suggest you do *ANOTHER* Numa, taking into consideration the feedback you've gotten from a handful of viewers. (Perhaps you can even talk your friend into walking on camera to do the choruses with you!)
Excuse me, now I have to go check out your other work. I see from your responses that you don't need this advice, but keep up your creative work!
