well its better than other frontpagers
i liked the randomness and like the commenter below me i believe that videos like this are the essence of newgrounds.The type of video that just makes you say wtf. of course it screams low quality and doesnt seem like it had much work put into it, it's still manages to be fairly entertaining. so over all its alright.
You're genious, my sir x2
What did I just watch?
Reminds me of the essence that is Newgrounds.com and I am sure your goal was to make people say "wtf am I watching and why am I still watching this?"
You're genius , my sir.
what the hell...?
how did this make the front page? i didn't even crack a smile and i'm so easy to impress
:( that's bad
Yeh eet Soocks. Deliberately. Ferts Flesh! DUMB
Newgrounds occasionally awards Front Page to something that is funny in a bad way. This is one of them. Finnish animator Minilinkki composed an opus of sorts about stick figures fighting each other, featuring poor artistry, Juno Reactor's "Burly Brawl" fight music, and a boatload of sheer irreverence. Oh, and it's not worth watching. At all. and despite the comments given by the author, this is his third release... far from the first.
It mocks the inclination of every animator to label their animation as the first published effort, which goes hand-in-hand with several stereotypes: awful animation, nonsense plots, stick figures, and cliched cliches. It also features a fitting end, according to the laws of physics.
Even in the author comments, everything about this reeks of satire. However, it's long, drawn out, and mostly an in-joke for Newgrounds fans. It isn't meant to be serious... but it falls into a trap of not being a serious EFFORT, which is where all the problems begin. Even though it aims to be funny... it's not. In fact, this Flash does not have the appeal to become another worthless meme shared by millions of net-nerds, because it only appeals to the Newgrounds crowd. And the Newgrounds crowd is a very particular brand of net-nerd.
The chief reason why "Eepi Battle" gains Front Page status is because it lampoons the Newgrounds crowd. It tears them apart. Newgrounds always strives to find whatever sucks and derails it for what it truly is. Tom Fulp's "The Room Tribute" is a case in point. One of the collections featured in Newgrounds is the section that spoofs Newgrounds. "Eepi Battle" fits right in, considering there are proportioned humanoids (not sticks), so the "Sticks" section wouldn't work... but there is also the barbs aimed at animators, hence, Newgrounds spoof. It also sends barbs right at the audience for even thinking the movie is funny in any way, and for once I'm glad to have agreed. :)
"Eepi Battle" is a joke entry, but it isn't Spam because of its intrinsic emphasis on mocking something other than the audience's gullibility. It mocks a lot of things. Too bad the jokes miss every single time....
Thank you !
This was really interesting to read ! :)
