i didn't like the fact that it started with out me pressing play... and i don't really get the joke.

It's an okay skit, although I did have some problems with it.

The art style of the movie I felt was lacking in some way. It was almost as if it itself was lazy, which makes sense according to your skit, but it still seems sort of rushed, or as if not enough effort was put into it. Perhaps it was a lack of defining details that would make it unique, but I'm not sure. The animation, though, is great aside from two things. The first is that the rippling effect to show the lazy dad's need to drop one just doesn't fit in the scene. A more cartoony effect would have worked better in this case. Also, the zoom out to exaggerate the distance between the lazy dad and the bathroom was done wrong. The dad's head should have been fixed to the canvas, and the hallway should stretch or get longer by itself. Details like paintings on the wall or cracks could help sell the effect.

The music also has problems. The intro song strikes me as awkward because it goes way-off key at the end of it. Also, the nasally-voiced person singing it sounds pretty bad because it's too nasally. The tuba phrase introducing the scene could be more developed. The rest of the music, which is basically only that action-filled drum loop, is okay.

The plot for the skit is fine, although there could have been a funnier choice of object that the lazy dad would drop one in. It was missing the exaggeration in the animation to really sell it, though, so I think that it is something you should work on. Otherwise, great work.

All that's left are a few minor grievances that don't affect the review rating. One is that the movie is set to automatically loop, so you may want to fix that. The other is that I really don't like the fart joke at the end, but that's a very opinion-based complaint.
