Reviews for "Fred the Notable Monkey"

This has tuched me...............

And not in the ways you think you pervs... it makes me think of how monkeys are treated by the internet scum bags...you know i have no idea what i am talking about...........

JKR responds:

Well monkeys are certainly not treated as well as Platypuses I can tell you that!
Thanks for taking the time to write a review!

One word.

Uncyclopedia.net. If that's not the website, google it. That's where mock entries that Wikipedia don't accept belong. People use Wikipedia for info, Uncyclopedia for humor. Don't mix them up, people.

JKR responds:

Well I'm glad to see there are other people out there putting effort into showing the flaws of Wikipedia. As one with parody close to my heart, I thought they did a great job.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and inform people about the Uncyclopedia. =)

Not that bad, but...

I actually thought that it wasn't too bad of a cartoon. I liked the humor, and the voice didn't irritate me as much as voices in some other cartoons do. My problem is with the message. Wikipedia does not have any obligation AT ALL to be nice and hold people's hands. Does MTV have a responsibility to host every garage band, because if they don't, then the garage band might feel that they're not good enough for MTV? If I wrote a book, should it be published, even if it sucks, because if it isn't published, then I won't write any more books? If Wikipedia users decide that Fred the Monkey isn't enough of a cultural phenomenon to be on the site, then there it goes. Personally, I'm more of an inclusionist, and find no good reason to delete material even if it is largely irrelevant, but I don't think that material should be kept on to simply be "nice" to the people who made the material. Seriously, if their exclusion from Wikipedia is what damages their psyches beyond repair, then they have more problems to worry about than their "unimportant" material.

JKR responds:

I also do not believe material should be kept just to be nice. I have no problem with things being deleted. I do not care at ALL that Fred the Monkey was deleted from Wikipedia. What I DO have a problem with is the method they go about it.
For example, if MTV called up garage bands that never asked to be judged and said "You guys suck, you'll never get anywhere" then I would have a HUGE problem with the policies of MTV. And yes, I have issues with publishers who send back meaningless form letters to authors that just say "Not interested." I understand they are busy, but there are better ways to go about rejecting people. If you tell them how they could improve instead of just saying "You fail!" then perhaps they could get better due to your advice and then we'd all benifit because we'd get something better in the end too.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and share your thoughts. I think I am also an inclusionist, now that I've talked to a lot of people about this, but even if things must be deleted, I feel there is a better way of telling people. =)

It was good

This was a good flash with great lip synching and animation but there were problems with it. For one, it may only be me, but I am not much of a nintendo fan and for some reason, I get really pissed off when I see nintendo fanboys, so seeing the DS there got me a little pissed off. Also, I usually like short flashes but this one was short but it didn't have a funny ending like short flashes should have. Than comes the part about wikipedia, it can't have much over 15,000 articles, so if "thousands" of articles got deleted everyday, there won't be much of a wikipedia to talk about. That's a little too big of an exageration in my opinion. Still, keep up the good work.

4/5

JKR responds:

Hey, thanks for the review and feedback! Sorry you don't like the Nintendo DS, it is a great system (especially with Metroid Hunters now out), but everyone likes something different when it comes to games. I know the cartoon was short, but I did it in only a few days, even though that is no real excuse. =)
As for the Wikipedia part, I was not exagerating at all. I got the "We delete thousands of entries everyday" right from their website. No fooling.
Anywho, thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, and I'm glad you liked the cartoon okay.

It was ok. I don't really want to watch you cry about your web comic though. Whaaaaa Whaaaa. I hate baby sitting. Please kill me.

JKR responds:

Sorry you missed the entire point of the cartoon, which was certainly not me crying about my web comic. I couldn't care less if Fred the Monkey or anything else I've created is in Wikipedia. I hope you find something on Newgrounds you like more. Thanks for leaving a review.
