Reviews for "DCK: Cycon Dooby Don't"
Mm.
The humor was pretty crude, prodding at the weak spots of Scooby Doo. Which has been done an ungodly amount of times. Yes, we're all well aware how convenient it is that Daphne gets paired up with Fred and they go do something naughty somewhere.
When humor is predictable, it's not really humor anymore. I'd like to see more of your work with less comedy potent on moral corruption and the expense of others. The Wrong Vagina had this down more than most of your movies, and I imagine that's why it is the most popular. I dunno why'd you stray from that limelight.
I hope to see better in the future
Scooby Doo parody is way over done...Especially with the drug thing...I was expecting something more unique out of Cycon.
I have loved ProjectDCK's past work and great material.
But this is lacking...this was half-assed in my opinion.
Usually I watch the DCK videos to put me in a good mood.
But this one, is only a one time watch.
The Scooby Doo drug joke is soo old...Its like Aeonflux's Commerical where they play the song "Headstrong"
Mixed feelings
The animation was top notch and your drawings of the classic charecters were well done. However the humour was ruined by the constant unfunny repetition of "dyke" which I found to just be homophobic and a heavy detraction from the quality of the flash. The "paedophile" jokes didn't help it out much either. I'd recommend getting yourself a script writer with a better sense of humour for your next flash.
I'm going to say right now that I never cared for this or the DCK series. It just seem crude for the sake of being crude. I do like the joke about the ghost is the only logical explanation. I don't see why Velma is called a dyke. I mean, there's a lot of openly gay characters in animation nowadays. Well, at least characters that have been confirmed to be gay.
This just had too many easy jokes. Everyone makes Scooby-Doo jokes like these. It's so weird to look back at Michael Jackson jokes. We found out Bill Cosby was much worse. Then we found out there tons of other celebrities who were rapists!
Cycon responds:
I agree. Truthfully, I never really liked this one and had lots of reservations about it even when we first released it. The whole thing was rushed through production and the content is overall more crass than I would be willing to release nowadays.
As far as the series goes, it's alright that you didn't care for it. Lots of people did for some reason, for which I am grateful. The fact that I can still talk about it and reply to comments in 2018 blows my mind, considering how little we actually put out over the years. If I could do it over with what I learned from the experience, I would definitely make changes, but it is what it is. Thanks for taking time to provide your feedback all these years later. Gives me a reason to crawl out of my crypt.
