He gets a big bowl right, and then he throws a heap of acrylics into it, then he mixes them with a big schtick and fcuks them at his computer screen.

I don't find them funny, even when drunk.

I think they're aimed at ppl who find Christmas cracker jokes amusing.

I like the majority of them. One or two are just plain weird though. But I don't enjoy Christmas cracker jokes!

The fat bunny one is genuinely funny.

The rest are mostly just animals with Cork accents.

Still, he's doing well.

Some of the mates think they're the best things they've ever seen though and reguarly quote them.

Yeah right as if that would work.

Pour the acrylic mix into your computer via the disk drive. If the animation is going to be any longer than 3 minutes you pour the surplus into the usb ports starting with the one closest the disc drive working in a anticlockwise direction.

Remember to shake the computer vigorously afterwards for increased optical on-screen resolution.

No you're not on your own i thought i was missing the humour gene as everyone was raving about them. The only one that's actually funny is the rabbit one. I actually physically cant make out what some of the other ones are even saying

He is more than likely using adobe flash pro, although it could be done with after effects as well.

I hate them but my kids love them, so it's probably a yoof thing. "Only trying to get a bit of cheese, all he tried to do" seems to crop up a lot in conversation. That and "slow down Tommy, you'll never maake the bend".

He uses Adobe Flash. I hate the shorts to the point where I made a video criticizing them, and Sminky had it false flagged. The best part is I was able to counter claim, and the video is the first result after the shorts if you look for "sminky shorts" on YouTube.

Those dislikes are totally not biased by the fact that Sminky's fanboys saw the video.

I'll sum up my criticism of your review

Animation: Who gives a ****? South Park isn't exactly Disney quality

Humour: Accents are hilarious, I'll have you know. Yours is pretty hilarious actually. The humour also comes from knowing someone like the characters in the shorts, if you're not from a rural/semi-rural background it may be hard to relate. Same way Fr Ted would be incomprehensible to a Mexican immigrant

You know they DO check. And I'm sure when they were screening the video at YouTube to make sure it wasn't infringing copyright, they saw it didn't have what you flagged it for. That video is untouchable.

Ok, just after watching a few of them after reading this thread... I think I may have become more stupid by watching them. Who in their right mind finds them funny? It's an animal with a Cork accent?! Honestly, I do not get it. And I don't think someone could explain it to me either. I left the rabbit one till last because people on here said it was the funnier one. I didn't even crack a smile...
