entertaining
nice work was quite funny, however i think you shouldve given semisonic a mention for the adaption of their song closing time that you used in the intro

Thanks for the review.
And you are absolutely right,
it just slipped my mind!
I will update it now. =]
Caught interest and kept it!
The beginning was a good catch and sets the style and mood. Good intro (but only a tad too long I thought). Loved the part with the locker and tardy policy. Waldo was great. I laughed so hard at the fries and potato wedges part! Very well done.
Wow.
It wasn't drawn very well. The animation wasn't too good either. But it was very well written, had great sound and was one of the funniest things I've seen on newgrounds!
Well...
I don't know, but this flash sort of rubbed off as pretty racist to me. Many of the jokes were meant to jab at the African American culture (ebonics, rap, etc.), and even though I'm a white male, I was still pretty shocked.
You didn't once make fun of white people (or the fact that you guys are apparently nerds), or even the asian store clerk really. It was all, "Yeah I'm white and smart, so I don't leave High School to pursue a rap career." Now while I hate rap with a passion, many of today's rappers are from poor areas and would rather risk making it big than staying in a shitty school.
Whatever though. Maybe I interpreted this the wrong way, but then again, maybe not. Other than the whole bigotry thing, this flash wasn't half bad. I even cracked a few smiles, like when the guy was trying to get his locker to open up.
Also: I wasn't too fond of the fact that you took a great song, "Closing Time", and made it to suit your little animation. Maybe next time consider creating your own theme song -- it's not that hard.
7/10.

The fact that we are nerds is supposed to be evident and make fun of us without havng to blatently saying "We're nerds!"
We take a known rap and turn into a nerdy, rediculous spoof. The only "jab" in it is the last line of "all the other rappers" - that's like the whole rap culture- putting others down, especially rival rappers- say what you want, but that's very prominent in the music.
Ebonics, it has nothing to do with who a person is or the values they hold; it's a rediculous trend that is used by both blacks and whites. I'll stand by my dislike of IT (not African Americans)...
And closing time... yeah, it's a good song... what's wrong with parodies, they exist everywhere.
Thanks for taking your time to give opinions, I hope I cleared some stuff up!
that was not funny.....
that bored me to death.........
