"Heap of shit"
date: July 10, 2006
Everyone with sense has reviewed this saying something along the lines of "this is completely ripping of Bonus Stage". They are not wrong. I don't care you have tried - badly - to justify that it's actually just similar to BS and not actually copying it, there are so many similarities between this and BS that you simply can't defend it.
The first scene is a perfect example. The 'comic' timing you've used for the bits about getting a job, and using the guy with the brown hair's money to get a TV, is unbelievably derivative of the first BS episode, Car (when Joel is going on about 'I have a car').
I was going to list off some other blatantly stolen BS bits, but thinking about it, this is doing Matt Wilson's cartoon a diservice - whereas his cartoon was original, funny, and well thought-out, yours is a heap of shit. The jokes - even when they're not badly attemping to rip-off BS - are rubbish, the sound-quality is STILL piss-poor 3 episodes into the series, and pretty much everything is tired and predictable. I mean seriously, you used a Benny Hill sequence. And that "I'm not getting a job" joke was built up beyond belief.
So yeah, perhaps this review has missed the boat by about a year, but your series was crap then, and it's even worse now.
