Reviews for "The Rules"

A bit sexist...

I liked how the questions were laid out and with the music there was a good harmony aesthetically overall.
I would have rated this higher, but I really didn't find it all that funny... Actually, I found it to be rather insulting to both women and men. Once again, people don't understand that racial and gender stereotypes are derogatory to both the "minority" and the "majority." This flash instills that men are simple minded, uncivil sloths and that women are cryptic, overly emotional, controlling bitches. While yes, I acknowledge that you are making fun of the stereotypes, the flash still promotes them, and I don't support that. People are far more diverse and what is "feminine" and "masculine" isn't unique to these made up genders, but is a part of every human of male -and- female sex.
This also acts like women are some sort of controlling force in most societies. Like they are subduing the men with their copious "rules"? Ha... Actually, I don't think there is a country on this planet where women are not the gender "minority," despite having a population greater than that of men. Woman have lower paying jobs, less say in legal matters, almost no government representation and generally are made to feel slightly "less" than human.

Oh, come now... If we all stood by such "high standards", then there wouldn't be humor in anything at all. Sterotypes exist to be exploited with humor and as such, there exists nothing better in the world but to sit back and have an objective laugh at oneself. It sounds like your efforts might be better directed toward shows like "The Simple Life", "The Real World", "Survivor", "Legally Blonde", etc, etc.
However, I do appreciate your criticism, so thank you for speaking your mind.

boring

90% of flash movie viewers are lost in the first 10 seconds.

Wow, that's an interesting statistic...

Heh

very Very nice job man. The idea of it was great and it's soo true, why do the guys always have to change their ways...ah well, anyway, great Job!!

Good work

I enjoyed this, nothing fancy and nothing outrageous, just simple truths.

Funny!

Every single one of those rules is absolutely true, which makes it all the more fuuny. Nice simple animation too. Lets the words speak for themselves.
