Taco Bell Stories Ep. 1

I have so many funny stories from working with customers on a day-to-day basis that I gotta get some of this down so I can remember it. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed watching it happen IRL.

There's a Good Idea Here

You've hit on a great idea for a flash series, which is relating the funny stories of goofy and crazy customers. My rating is based mainly on the humor of the story. The rest of the flash is very rudimentary: graphics, sound, animation, etc. The quality hovers somewhere just above spam. If you are not a flash artist by trade, which would be only a guess based on this piece and your previous submissions, you should find a voice actor or two and a talented artist/animator to work with. Just this story alone, with the right voice work and animation, could easily be a 9/10.

Hey, you didn't tell me how much I suck! Thank you :)

Get some voice actors and someone who can actually draw/animate and maybe I could just work on scripts and voices. Not a bad idea, man. Thanks for the positive review :)

Decent idea

~~REVIEW~~
haha ok this was funny and i got a good laugh from this now its not the best but you do have a good {IDEA} with this one basicly because its simple and you have some voices in there, now you can take this flash and improve on it i can see alot of stories coming from it and making it shine, some things of improving would be, so some ideas would be some added color, and ofcourse some better synking so the sound and animation match up better, , and make them abit longer so it looks better all together, better fonts aswell wouldnt hurt either, but all and all it would be a good idea to make more and just really go with it, and if they are too short, you could put a number of em in one flash just another idea that would make for a good series and such, anyways it was a pleasure to see and review this.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
as suggested above a few ideas , better sound synking is a plus though, and more orginized.

~~OVERALL~~
amusing idea can work if better orginized

~X~

Senmetsu responds:

I'm seein' a trend in what needs fixing and its all the things I thought needed some fixing.

A) Its too short.
B) It's too rushed.
C) I need someone who knows flash better, or to practice more.
D) I need some real voice actors to help me possibly.
E) Keep up with the IDEA of telling funny stories from work, but improve the flash quality :)

Thanks for the thought out idea, I really thought this flash would get blammed so to see such support really helps. Thanks :) Maybe I CAN do this if I just put some actual care into learning what I'm doing.

Hmmm...

I rated this pretty high because I thought it was funny.

But here are some things you need to work on:
Definitely your art. I can tell that you didn't take too much time on this.
I'm sure you can do better.

Also, it was really just pictures. No frame-by-frame illusion :/
Anyway, I thought this was funny, and it's even funnier seeing that this really happened.

Good luck with your other flashes dude!

7/10
4/5

:)

Senmetsu responds:

I'll be honest with ya, I spent about 2 hours on this.. AKA Not much time.

But seeing all this support makes me want to make flash stuffs that matter and are decent. I'll keep with the funny stories from work, but improve the quality if I decide to make a new one.

._.

ummm ok then,not that good though.

Senmetsu responds:

Thank you for saying ok! :D

I appreciate the kind response you've given me. I was beginning to think I'd never make it, but this passed at 2.35 meaning this is my best submission yet... I wish to improve on this idea.

Fast food sucks

My first job was at a Mcdonalds, I worked the graveyard shift so I can relate to crazy customers.

Senmetsu responds:

Thanks for the positive review!

There was this one time I was working drive-thru at Taco Bell an this lady drove up and I handed her the food and she was like 'wtf is this shit' and I was like "a XXL chalupa, a bean burrito, and 2 soft tacos...?" and she was like "Oh you put the tacos on the bottom, that's fucking smart. what were you thinking" and wanted a response... my response was "I'm sorry..."

...but what I was thinking was "I didn't put the food in the bag...my job is to take your money which you didn't have ready and took over a minute to find while you talked on your cellphone, give you your change while you're not paying attention, give you your drinks and straws, which takes you about 20 seconds to do because you have other drinks in your car, which I understand cuz I'm lazy too, then ask if you want sauces, wait while the car's occupants decide on sauces, get your sauces and put them and the sporks and napkins and receipt into the bag, then hand you the bag of food, then have you look through the bag and berate me something I didn't do, apologize until you go away, and do all of this in under 40 seconds..."
