Perfect in every way.

You definately chose the right stand up monologue to animate, I laughed so hard at this. The animation was flawless, I loved all the water rippling effects. You also captured each of the character's personalities excactly the way that the comedian described them, it seemed like I was imagining a very vivid picture in my mind, and then it appeared on the screen. Excellent job on this piece.

I was very impressed by your skill at lip sync as well, the mouths matched perfectly with the voices. I'm going to have to look more jokes from this Mike Birbiglia guy, he is downright hilarious. Once again, I congratulate you on showing great amounts of flash skill. Congratulations on your daily award and keep up the great work!

Pretty Cool

This is nice, not exactly original, but still well done. You picked a good comedian and a good bit to animate. Your animation is absolutely great. The sound quality is fine. You represented what he was saying pretty well, and added to it very well.
I hope we can see more of these in the future.

Wow, you really nailed it.

McBean, I've been a fan of yours, and this latest project not only does not disappoint, it makes me like you more.

The animation was not only smooth and well done on its own, but it also lent itself superbly well to the subject matter at hand, really capturing Birbiglia's narration and style, adding to both the animation and the audio simultaneously. The scene change timing and lip syncing was all excellent.

The length of the flash was fine, and ended on a nice note. Ending where you did left enough time to make a decent length flash at ended at a departure point where the joke topic was able to conclude itself, so you didn't extend the flash beyond the logical concluding point, which is good.

I really can't see many flaws in this flash, if any. The only thing I can even pull out of my ass to whien about is that you didn't make the jokes yourself, but I really can't complain about that for two reasons: one, it was still funny, and it's meant as a sort of tribute/homage, which is the whole point, and two, your animation itself was funny, since you added your own sight gags that weren't included in the dialogue, effectively adding to the foundation of the humor.

Very nice work. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I look forward to anything else you make in the future.
