"Argyle Pimpin with old people"
date: December 8, 2006
Before I watched this flash animation, I had never heard of this band. However after watching this flash animation, I love the band's sound and I love one of their songs called "Argyle Pimping". So I wanna thank you directly for somehow inadverently introducing me to this band. I will be buying their album soon enough. Ok enough of me gushing, and onto the actual review
Graphics. It was pretty fucking good, especially drawings of famous old folk, like that lady from Murder She Wrote, and other geriatics on TV. Also I loved that you put Ben Stiller's characther from Happy Gilmore. That was a good touch to it to be honest.
Style. I liked the concept, though I dont think that this music video would have been set anywhere else, apart from a nursing home. It was basically following the lyrics of the song, but I like the little gruesome twist at the end, with the zombies devouring the little old lady.
Sound. Great sound. Basically it was the song Geezers, and it was crystal clear, which was great. Love the start with a clip from Frank Sinatra. It sets up the song just right to be honest.
Violence. Well compared to your previous work of Ugly Duckling "Left Behind", there is a lot of violence in this flash, but not serious violence. That does not make much sense, but I hope you can get that. There is tormenting and taunting of old people as well as the end scene, where zombies of famous people just recreate the Dawn of the Dead eating scene.
Humour. Funny to a T man. Just basically silly and slapsticky, though somehow a bit too cruel, but you are basically it on the song, so it is understandable. Once again, my face was smiling when I saw the Happy Gilmore character.
Keep up the good work Kenn with 2 N's and tell me whether you will be making more flash and such.
Mampers.
