@Hell Yes: I so want one of those.

@Hell Yes: Both Beck videos are great. Whichever one I'm looking at, *that's* the one I like best. Thanks for the choice.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: These guys are fabulous filmmakers.

@Hell Yes: Yes! I'm famous! Quoted in the vaunted Channel Frederator newsletter! I TOLD you this was cool. :)
Now imagine if these robots were like a visualization plug in for your media player. Reacting spontaneously to the music and the beat, not pre-programmed. Thinking for themselves... It'll happen...

@The Touchtone Genius: I'm left with the same feeling that the guy getting the call has...

"What just happened?"

But I'm also laughing. Basic concept, funny idea, nice execution.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Well, I'm pretty much completely unfamiliar with the story, cast, animators and producers, but this looks pretty bad-ass... I've still gotta complete my Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex collection though...

Bad-ass is a requirement for a 5-rating, though, and they've definitely earned that.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Oh, how history repeats itself. *sigh*

I was wondering how they were going to end that. All of the depression-era cartoons always have the bright future of the prosperity our country experienced following WWII. We're still in the midst of our troubles here.
Vote, people!

@Hell Yes: ok if it wasnt for the robots I would have complained about it not being a "cartoon" still like the song, but now I want the damn robot..lol

@Hell Yes: oh and my name isnt appleofury im not furry or fury..its apple of your EYE

@The Touchtone Genius: ok loved it..cuse that is some 'ish i would say if i got a call like that...hehe great short

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: OMG I HAVE TO SEE THIS!!!! that was so so oh my no words for how good that looked now if i just learned japanese I could enjoy manga's so much more..oh yeah it was good anime...lol

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Saw this before great cartoon and even better message.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: This doesn't sit well with me because it's a blatant advertisement for a DVD rather than a legitimate cartoon. It's MANGA's fault more than yours because they don't seem to understand what your podcast is about. There's definitely room to bring awareness and appreciation to Japanese animation but this is not it, because it's selling me a DVD rather than selling me the series. When you show something from Oh Yeah Cartoons, you show the full short. You don't show a randomized clip package for 30 seconds and say TUNE INTO OH YEAH CARTOONS ON NICKELODEON!! I would try to pressure these companies into following FUNimation's example with iFilm.com. What they've done is screen specific, 3 minute clips from an episode/film, and sometimes even give away the first 8 entire minutes. That seems like a more effective way of getting people interested in something cool from across the globe than just saying "BUY THE DVD, IT'S COOL YOU CAN TRUST US". See if Manga could do that with Karas, or whatever other series they're shilling right now.

@The Touchtone Genius: I saw this on newgrounds. It's bizarre but interesting. It's art is simple but it works. "Your mom's fat" is the icing on the cake.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Long, slow, and boring. Not even worthy of comparison to actual pre-war propaganda films. Only slightly amusing in light of recent predictions of massive shortages of workers in the near future, and the fact that my portfolio has nearly doubled in the past two years.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Frederator: Please let us know how we can buy this DVD when it comes out. Or maybe it already came out? What? Thanks.

@Hell Yes: Scale of 1 to 5 on how good a cartoon this is? It has to be a 1. It's a great video, don't get me wrong, but I feel that it's obviously not a cartoon. If you want to hire someone to watch all your submissions, maybe as a first screening, and separate the cartoons from the non-cartoons, I'll do it for, like, $15 an hour.

@The Touchtone Genius: This is not a live-action film. Great job! Very impressive short. And it's nicely short. 5.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: This was animated, but It was an animated trailer. Looked like it came from nice stuff, but it was edited horribly, I lost interest in it a fourth of the way in, the type over the image was annoying. And it was an advertisement. 1.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Now, I'm a left-winger and all, so I appreciate the message, and whatever. But I have to agree with the more conservative emoose here, regarding "Long, slow, and boring." This film isn't changing any minds, and it hardly makes a point. And it's boring. 2.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: And the use of the real audio, ala Smigel, was....no Smigel.

@Hell Yes: Either that was some fine CG work, or it wasn't animation at all. But still It is a great improvement from the last "Hell Yes"

@The Touchtone Genius: lol. Insanely genius. I wish i could play the phone like a piano...

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: It looked cool, not a big fan of Anime/Manga myself...

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Interesting, but not quite as good as his other film.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: In response to Matt Wilson, I agree on one hand. I didn't necessarily think this was an intentional ADVERTISEMENT Channel Frederator wanted to post. I do think it was an attempt to bring awareness to Japanese animation, and I think they did a great job. Forgetting it was a trailer and it offered a DVD at the end, it really opened my eyes to a new animation style. I was totally unfamiliar with it until I saw this clip.I think we're all intelligent enough not to buy something just because we're told to buy it.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: That doesn't mean it was a very good advertisement. I can watch a Subway commercial and find out that they have a new squid sandwich, a type of sandwich which I'm unfamiliar with, and it might have great photography of a great squid sandwich. But odds are, it will be an annoying commercial.

@Hell Yes: It's live action. Those are robots.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: omfg...i've only seen about 30 secs of this, and this looks so frickin amazing..w00t!!!

@Hell Yes: i want one...and also nice vid. THe work was aweomes with the robots.

@The Touchtone Genius: lmfao...insane...and awesome...love it!

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: not bad not bad, agreed with xopher, "long slow and boring," but at the same time not a bad film. Worth watching. The machine part reminded me of Charlie Chaplins scene in Modern Times. Not bad, as i sad b4.

@Hell Yes: The robots appear to be computer generated, hence the reason why it was on Channel Frederator. And if they were real robots, I forgive you Channel Frederator (but just this once. Don't you EVER play anything other than cartoons AGAIN. EVER!!). Are we forgetting something xopher? The podcast is free. Maybe if Channel Frederator charges, they could afford your "salary".

@The Touchtone Genius: Holycrapilovethisshort!!!

@Hell Yes: love it.
cool

@The Touchtone Genius: BORING CRAP.

@Hell Yes: I think this is fair to qualify as animation. It includes carefully orchestrated motions just like 3D animation and uses real objects like claymation.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: not good quality compression, and it's an AD!?! not cool.

@The Touchtone Genius: Absolutely f*ing hilarious.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: good message, just way too long and boring.

and ummmmm........ i'm not american and i hate politics.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: I'm not big on the trailer format either. That said, I'm checking this out on BT right now and might just end up picking it up.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Not doing it for me. Fine animation, but the audio and message were weak. In the meantime, check out thepartyparty.com for some very slick Bush remixes.

@Hell Yes: better than the other one.

@The Touchtone Genius: great! it can be short and simple while still making you laugh out loud... for like five minutes.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: ads dont belong on here... i want to be amused not suckered into doing what society insists is the only thing to live by -- CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME. come on.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: bush is an ass. this cartoon was too.

@The Touchtone Genius: I just laughed and laughed after the punchline. High low art!

@Hell Yes: I like this one better than the previous version as well. As for it being animation... well considering what they had to go through to program those bots, I'd say it rates as animation.

It's better than Poop Baseball!

@The Touchtone Genius: I have watched this one like 6 times. I really love cleaver short musical pieces like this. Very well done, much respect.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: I swing to the right, but this piece is very well done. I like the art and the style very much. Excellent job. :)

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: I laughed at the scene showing the VA hospital closed down. I'm certain that's not the response I'm intended to have. Most of them should be shut down.

The VA hospitals I've seen have been f---g hell holes that were on the brink of losing accreditation. Pumping more money into the system will never change who gets hired. The dentist they hired to work at our local facility was so incompetent that patients would actually walk out on him. It's not surprising that Donald Harvey the mass murderer met the employee standards for the Cincinnati VA.

Having been a Navy Hospital Corpman I'm sympathetic to medically retired veterans, but offering the same type of medical care to the rest of the country with universal health care would be criminal. Of course the senators, congressmen, and presidential cabinet members would still be getting the best care imaginable at Bethesda Naval Hospital if we had such a plan.

@Hell Yes: i've seen worse, like the last beck video on cf. . .

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: To quote Mr. Horse, "No sir, I don't like it." I wish you guys would stop padding the the podcast with fluff like this, and that fool with the note book animation. The file sizes are are getting to be too large, and take forever to download. Now where did I leave my sheep, and my rubber walrus carrier?

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: WTF!!!!??? first a freakin' live music video (yeah the robots are cool but so what) then a freakin' ad?

dudes... so lame. and if i have to watch any more of your freakin' meat puppet intern and his flip book "poop baseball" hi-jinx... well, my finger is poised over that unsubscribe button.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: well I hate Bush so much I left the country... but this thing is slow, boring, pedantic and worst of all, not in the slightest bit funny. And so slow paced and obvious it doesn't even get a good head of righteous anger up. Not gonna do it, no sir.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: usually there's at least one short per episode to redeem it, but dawg CF, you're getting kinda lame lately. sorry.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: It's hell not being able to find the button when you need it.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Oh I forgot, Beck is still a loser from head to toe, so why don't you kill him?

@Hell Yes: Really, really cool -- but not animated. Please, animators out there, send Frederator something so we don't have to put up with any more non-animated videos or "Poop Baseball". Argh! What happened to the days when everything in CF was animated! If I wanted to see real stuff, I'd look out a window! :)

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Well, I just think it was a nice trailer...
BUT: thats not why I tune in to channelator freddel. I want to see amazing, thrilling ( non commercial ) shorts from ( non professional ) guys who just love what they are doing.
Like that "touchtone genius" guy!
fin

@The Touchtone Genius: Look, it's sad that this is the only 5 in the whole episode, but I dig this a lot. I think this short was... how do the french say... magnifique.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Okay, I have to agree with everyone. Up 'till this point I have appreciated the ommision of political biases and opinions from CF. I don't watch CF to get some serious message about the world and to blame all my problems on one dude I've never met. If this cartoon would have been funny, that's one thing. Look, beside that, this short sucked my @#!. Please, put poop baseball in and do us a favor.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: CHANNEL FREDERATOR STILL ROCKS MY BODY.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Yeah, look. I know CF is takin' a lotta heat for this one. And look, it's true. This ad sucked. NOT why I tune in either. Sorry. 1, 1, 1.

@Hell Yes: no comment

@Hell Yes: not cartoon

@The Touchtone Genius: basic but very funny ****

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: wow /buys

@Hell Yes: I actually like this song now, thanks to this video. Those bots is cool.

@The Touchtone Genius: I feel like I won the lottery. The song makes it good.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: I love anime. But good anime. Samurai Champloo, Furi Kuri and Paranoia Agent just to mention recent classics that anyone here should watch. This however looks a little lame, if very well animated. Its about the story folks. This just looks like an updated Guyver.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Doesn't really generate any sense of empathy from me. I selfishly want to be entertained. While being entertained I can still be swayed to feel for the troubles of another, especially when I'm being moved to emotion. I wasn't moved by this slow excuse to try and get a point across.

@Hell Yes: this hell yes was waaaaaaaaay better than the one before

@The Touchtone Genius: hahahahah i liked it

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: I actually hate anime, therefore I hate this segment.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: BOOOOO BUSH SUCKS.

@The Touchtone Genius: Entertaining.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: I dont mind anime but this was crap channel frederator is about showingh ur cartoons and this was an addd and was edited badley and boring! please no more adds!

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: I LOVED the other 1 they did with the song that was good but this wasnt as good but keep puttin i will destroy u cartoons on

@The Touchtone Genius: Hilarious. Love it.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Eww, you got politics in my cartoons. I loved these folks' first submission, but I ended up fast-forwarding through this one. Not what I'm looking for when I switch on the Frederator. Give me the funny!

@The Touchtone Genius: Very good it made me have a little wee whilst i was laughing, i love the federator on my ipod 5G thankyou federator.

@The Touchtone Genius: only decent actual CARTOON this week!

twas funny

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: the last two podcasts have been VERY poor.

filled with boring live action and adverts for stuff we dont want.

frederator is selling out to the MAN!

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: I love and respect the art of anime, but it has become such a ubiquitous form of animation. I look to Frederator to bring me the unique, the hard to find, the vision of independent artists. So I can't say I liked this piece as a submission. The moral of the story...keep it real, stop promoting the studio machine and inspire us again with art.

@Hell Yes: I really liked the music

@The Touchtone Genius: Reminded me of the bird and skwerrell cartoon they had, with the strange ending

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: i totally agree with what rarenskc said, except that frederator hasn't shown any anime yet. Just dont do it again...

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: just another cartoon making fun of bush. He's a horrible president , but there have been way too many cartoons about him. I like the original storylines and styles, and neither the storyline or the style were original on this one. It would've been so much cooler if they hadn't done flash animation. it got a one from me.

@The Touchtone Genius: hahaha....that actually made me laugh and be freaked out at the same time....

Good One!

@Hell Yes: not animated . . . but those litle bots are so freaking cool, and there is not much good footage of them to be found, so whatever.

@The Touchtone Genius: Wow, I laughed a lot at that. That was really funny.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Okay, the movie looks like a bad ass, however completely typical action anime flick. I would rent it or watch it with friends, but there is nothing compelling about it.

That said, why the hell are you putting a promo in the segment? I thought this was for short animated films? If the trailer had somethign to offer other than a few cool shots, I might forgive you, but this is just lame. Igave it a one on principle.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: I have to agree with xopher. If you are going to have partisan cartoonery on a show, atleast make it good. The film was very slow and offered very little. If it had been a better cartoon I wouldn't bat an eye, but if you are going to stir up the right wing crazies (no offense) atleast do it with a cartoon that might convince some of them, make me feel good to be liberal, or at the least, be fun to watch.

Art shouldn't be censored because it is political, but this is clearly intended propoganda first and art second (or third or tenth). I have seen the Muffs cartoon, so I know these guys can do better. I have little time in my life for propoganda, whether or not I agree with it.

@The Touchtone Genius: i keep going back to watch this one. so funny

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Thanks, again, for the compliments and crits everyone. In defense of our cartoon, I will mention that this was the first cartoon I ever made. In retrospect (made it over 2 years ago) I would tighten things up a lot, and improve the animation, timing, etc... And, again, in defense of the use of Flash- when you're a one-man animation studio, with no funding, you use the best tool to complete the project. On content- Propaganda was the obvious goal with this film, and heartstrings were what we were aiming for- not all cartoons are intended to be funny. I wasn't sure if this cartoon would go over well with the Frederator audience, but I'm grateful to CF for putting it on. Sorry to have bored some of you, but at least you can fast-forward in hopes of seeing more pooop-baseball. Anyway- I do appreciate, and enjoy, reading the comments- even when they are negative. Thanks!

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Well, regardless of what the people above said about this being the appropriate forum for a political cartoon, I'd say that this is the PERFECT venue. I like to think that one of the forces behind Channel Frederator, (and ALL podcasting), is the escape from mainstream media. So in that vein, it's almost universally acknowledged that politics in the mainstream are consistently misrepresented. Whether it's conservatives complaining about the "Liberal Media" or left-leaning individuals complaining about Fox and the descent of modern journalism, it's pretty much agreed that the media isn't getting it right. So, posting a toon that pushes a certain political point of view is EXACTLY what you guys should be doing. I won't even demand that you post a counter-point video because the nature of the internet and the podosphere is that, if they want it, audiences don't have to go far to find an opposing view. I mean, I guess I'd LIKE it if you did post something in opposition, (due to my objectivity/ethical journalism training), but you are, by no means obligated to as Fox and CNN and the other news outlets claim to be, (though they consistently neglect that self-imposed obligation). Sorry if this is a bit rambling, but I hope it makes sense. Just thought I'd let you know that there are those in your audience who, in fact, appreciate your step into the real world.

@The Touchtone Genius: this is the only reason i didnt delete this episode right as soon as i saw it. that and the brokeback mountain joke.

5'd

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: weak, not only is this cartoons political logic out of whack (not that i a big bush supporter or nothin' ;)) but this just was not entertaining. after about 27 minutes of this dudes sob story, i just fast forwarded to the end. no more of these please...

1'd

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: sooorrrry, but anime is teh lame. i dont understand the appeal of violent porn. now, each of them by themselves is okay, but when you put violence and porn togther, it aint a good mixture. (i know not all anime is p0rn, but a hell of a lot of it is...)

@Hell Yes: Yes. this was much better than the one in the last episode.

@The Touchtone Genius: AWESOME

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: I dont like anime, and i dont like this cartoon.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: BORING LONG STUPID

@Hell Yes: Still don't like the song, but the robots rock.

@The Touchtone Genius: Very funny and weird in a good way.

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Looks awesome.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: I still don't llke the old-timey look, but the story and animation were very well done. Best of show.

@The Touchtone Genius: that was.... friggin funny!!!

@Hell Yes: beck is the best!!! but... it's not a cartoon...

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Althought the graphic is superb... i hated the whole concept

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Great ... Another nice blog taken over by the rabid left, and destroyed. You've lost another viewer CF. Slashdot ... fark .. digg ... now CF ... f@#$ing brilliant. Is there anything on this world the liberals haven't managed to corrupt? ANYTHING? If I wanted a politics debate, I'd go to a POLITICS blog. Not a CARTOON blog ... I want to see cartoons doing crazy, funny things ... not some left-wing hack screed full of half-truths and lies. What a waste of bandwidth, and my time.

@Hell Yes: Not a cartoon but I dont really mind. Much better video than the previous one. I gotta get me one of them robots.

@Hell Yes: seen it before love it, who cares if its not actually animated better then last weeks beck vid

@The Touchtone Genius: OMFG! me and my friend and me did this on your cell phones

can we vote against their shitty new bumpers?

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: i like anime but not this advertising

can we vote against their shitty new bumpers?

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: well done, had a messae, what else can you ask for. I am not a liberal, if you dont understand their viewpoints tho you dont deserve to aruge them

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: Great, an advertisement. I hate animes in this style. They look awful and the story seems just awful too.

@Hell Yes: umm... just so you guys know, the song from the other one was the remix of THIS song.
And ooohhhh i get it now! "apple of YOUR EYE"
thanks for clearing that up.

@Hell Yes: Those robots rule and I want one but Beck stinks and this is not a cartoon.

@The Touchtone Genius: Poop baseball rocks!

@The Touchtone Genius: This was hilarious XD

@Karas: The Prophecy Promo: Mm...anime is cool and this looks kickass, but I'm not sure what it's doing here.

@Brother, Can You Spare A Job?: I love the b/w animation and the old music. Propaganda cartoons are interesting to me, but I didn't really like this one too much. I guess I sort of agree with the people who thought it boring. I don't mind it being here. It's cool that Frederator mixes things up.

@The Touchtone Genius: brilliant

I think this was the best cartoon in this episode.

thnx

good video
