Reviews for "American Alfer"
Mr pickles got a cease and desist letter of a lifetime lmao
lets talk about how good of a singer emily is, I wish she would come back
older but very amazing. i love how much alfred haz changed throughout the yearz and i honestly think this iz really good portrayal of him. I love the voice and the animation and the movement iz so good. Also I love how he violated Mr Picklez at the end lol
I absolutely love this... but then, what does that say about me?
I only recently became aware of Ms. Youcis' work from a chance encounter at TooManyGames 2015. I was waiting for the burlesque show to start when a young woman stepped out from the shadows and opened with, "Hey, guys, you wanna buy some fucked up cartoons?" Of course, it was Emily herself peddling her wares and of course I had no choice at that point. That's not a question you say no to. I could sense immediately that I was in for something weird, so I bought a copy of the Alfred Alfer collection. I've since become aware that the majority of the content on the DVD is freely available in better quality online, but I am still glad that I bought a copy. It has been very interesting to watch your work develop over the course of your animation career, from your comparatively humble early work to something like this.
I do not think that I am alone in this habit, but I go through periods where I have particular videos that I'm obsessed with and will watch several times a day. That video is currently American Alfer. Maybe it's the schizophrenic disconnect between the depraved subject matter and upbeat (and well-done) musical parody, which is a common theme with the underlying cinematic parody, but there's really something to this video.
There are some really impressive artistic moments here as well that showcase how far you've come. Alfred's expressions at approximately 00:20, 00:40 and 00:49 remind me of Ren and Stimpy in the best way possible and the way that lifeless arm lolls around at approximately 00:32 looks both stylistic and believable. My only complaint with this submission is that it is too short. Please, never stop making content and keep it weird!
