It was alright
A few of the parts were actually pretty funny, and well animated. However some of the animation was still off by a bit, some tweens where they didn't belong and some places that could have used tweens. Some of the sound was off for some of the parts also.
Overall some good, some bad, some could have used a bit more work.

Needs work
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad flash - it just needs tidying up, as some of the jokes are a little tired and the sprites look bad when you try to make them so much bigger than they were intended to be.
I think that there were certainly some sprites that I've seen before and some ones which I hadn't. I personally liked the Back to the Future sketch, until you put the cock joke in there, which ruined it. Sometimes, you don't need to try changing it that much, to make it a good piece. The animation there was awesome and I'd have loved to see how you made the car either disappear into the flaming tyre tracks, or fly.
Some of the jokes were a little short, but with the shorter jokes, you need to make sure that the animation is spot on. I'd have considered going through the editing process a little more ruthlessly, chopping a few toons that didn't make the grade, as that drags down the quality of the good pieces. Perhaps a main menu would be called for as well - scene selection, author bios, that sort of thing.
Also, Wyldfire1, your identity banner takes up far too much space in your parts. Try being more subtle ;)

Not as grand as one would expect
I like the idea of a sprite collab, (I doubt this is the first, though) but there are several things that should be taken care of before making the sequel you were considering:
1. Sound. The volume fluctuated like mad between segments. When the viewer has to keep a hand on the volume knob just to keep up with how often the volume changes, that's just not good. All you need to do is watch the whole thing once and fix the sound if it deviates.
2. Set higher standards for submissions. Many of the segments you included in the collab obviously were not up to par with what is generally accepted as, well...decent. What tends to happen a lot in Flash movies is either the writing being great and the animation being crap, or the animation being great and the writing being crap. A lot of the segments in this collab were both (the crap part, I mean). It is pretty uncommon to find excellent writing AND animation in one Flash video, but you should at least make sure something is good about a concept before you include it.
3. Take your time and make sure your collaborators are taking their time as well. Even after you finish putting it together, take the time to tweak, improve, add, or subtract. It's the details that make a movie a movie. Now, I'm not a pro at Flash, but I am a video editor. I know that, if given the extra time, I could continue editing a video for hours and hours, just fixing the little things. And when you think you've got it, show it to some people just to get their input. If most of them think something is off, set it straight. Once you've done that and watch your creation, you'll know it came out much better than it was before.
Good luck on your next collab!
Unoriginal
Art/Animation: 5/10
First off, they were sprites, so you lose big marks here...A lot of the animation was pretty shabby, even for sprites...Try not to zoom in so much..Even though it's pixel art, it can get hard to see..
Plot/Concept: 6/10
Sprite Collabs are completely unoriginal. There are about 100 on Newgrounds. Some of the actual pieces were quite funny, but by 'some', I mean maybe 4 or 5. I think you need to learn to turn down parts that aren't so good.
Audio/Music: 4/10
Many of the parts didn't have voices, which was a disappointment. Even the ones that did were of pretty poor sound quality.
Overall: 5/10
The 12mb file size was annoying, and after all, it was just a sprite collab.

Not Bad
Had potential, but I had also expected more, at least as far as being funny was concerned. The use of sprites was excellent, and I hope to see more from a lot of these authors.
