I really should have been doing something else with the last eleven hours, but instead I made this:

Hurrah!
CheeseMoose
That was great. In the words of someone (possibly from Family Guy), "It's funny because it's true".
Mata
That's also been said in The Simpsons.
Astarael
I'll confess to not entirely understanding the stuff over the phone because I was being slow again, but it was funny overall and I loved the evil laugh, the crying, the cat at the end, and the sound effects.
Mata
The stuff over the phone wasn't really meant to make much sense, it starts out with a Bin Laden-esque person (reasonable threat), then a bomb (reasonable), then a vampire (pretty silly), a duck (silly), then a duck with bombs (very silly), and the Whitehouse calls in the airstrike for the duck with bombs. It's just a load of nonsense really smile.gif

The cat reminded me of that cat at the end of one of the Mr. Snaffleburger animations that laps up the blood on the floor. You could have a tradition with cats at the end. And I was quite amused, too.
FeralPolyglot
Quite an amusing animation. I like it. biggrin.gif

Well, the only reason that one was there was that I had a far darker ending planned that Sues vetoed for reasons of good taste. She had a point really...

Cats are a pain to animate. They never look right if you're trying to make them move vaguely realistically, so don't expect them to turn up too often!
Sir Psycho Sexy
Is that ending going to be the alternate ending for the DVD? tongue.gif
Mata
Highly unlikely. That would require me to make a DVD of my site, for a start.
Mutilation
I enjoyed the shifting chair, it was either shockingly life-like or I just have blurry vision.

I also showed Sigmuend Freud who's boss in armwrestling!

I'm glad it's not significant. I kept trying to work out if it was a chain of tricky visual puns and then staring in confusion. laugh.gif I think cats are tricky because they walk oddly, moving both legs on the left and then both on the right, unlike just about every other mammal except one I can't remember. Bah. What was the darker ending that Sues voted down?
Mata
No, I'm pretty sure cats walk using the opposite corner legs like other four legged creatures. Maybe you're thinking of when they're running really fast when they use the front and hind legs together.

The alternative ending to the Mr Snaffleburger animation had a small child coming into the bathroom at the end and saying 'If my daddy had used Mr Snaffleburger debt clearing service he would still be alive'. Sues had a point; it was probably overstepping the line of taste.

I was wondering how long it would take before he used the hammer on the computer. But I loved that smile. Heehee the cat got the computer to work. I love that cat.
craziness
this animation was awesome! i love it!
Mata
Thanks Crazi. It's nice to see you back on here more often too. smile.gif

laugh.gif So funny!!!!

Hey, I gots a question, Mata-sensei:

I saw this little thing called Extreme Jam Sandwich or something like that. That guy in the pictures...Is that you? That's probably a dumb question, but oh, well.

Is it?
Mata
Yep, that's me. That was a couple of years ago, but I look pretty similar (except I'm not usually pulling the 'Xtreme face').

Haha the war on error...it's funny because my cat actually did run on my computer and fix something that was wrong with it. I was like O.O <.< Kitty? *pokes* Haha, it was a great short. I too fear ducks with bombs. O.O They're coming you know. They're coming!!!
Mata
I've been meaning to make an animation that features the sneakiness of ducks for a long time. I've considered doing a silly LGG episode with evil ducks... It may happen yet.
Astarael
Will they be evil goth ducks with eyeliner? The goth bunnies looked excellent. They were very cute but also a tad intimidating as a large eyeliner-wearing mass. smile.gif

There are a bunch of Mata's animations with cats in them! smile.gif
Mata
Which is odd considering that I don't really like cats. I respect them, but that's nothing anywhere near actually liking them!
Angel the Samurai Princess
biggrin.gif I like cats! We just can't have one because of Dad and brother's stupid allergies. (Curse you, allergies!!! CURSE YOU!!!!)

Anyway, getting back to the extreme face, sensei:
I'm not sure what I expected you to look like, but I did imagine you with dark hair...Meh. I dunno what I'm talking about. It is funny, though!
Mata
I do have dark hair, it's just very short there so you can see the skin behind it which makes it look lighter.
