Fast, Funny, and Short - Reaction

Good series of shorts:

  • Baby Pepper: Bah. Based entirely on one not very funny joke.
  • Space Chase: Fun. Good core idea (two people racing for a spot in a parking garage) and well executed.
  • Right Place: Witty. An obsessive compulsive works in Tokyo.
  • Spin: Brilliant. A turntable allows this DJ to control and alter time and space.
  • Stop!: Eh. A film within a film within a film.... Certainly not as novel as the short seems to think it is.
  • I Need My Mocha: Decent. Two people who lack criminal natures attempt to rob a store.
  • Food: Okay. Animation of an old woman that feeds and shoots ducks. Only good for funky animation and surprise value.
  • The Pitch aka. Lebron James vs. the Alien King: Very good mockery of Hollywood.
  • Dolls with Issues: Eh. The core idea allows for a ton, but this movie just doesn't do much with it.
  • The Idealist: Decent. (I seem to recall liking it, but can't remember precisely what it was about.)
  • The Zit: Quite good computer animated short about a boy who tries to get rid of a zit.
  • Five Infomercials for Dentists: Eh. Funky animation but I didn't find the gag funny / it made me uncomfortable.
  • Joyride: Again, funky animation and good music, but not humorous.
  • Safety First: I can't remember liking it...
  • Valley of Gwombi: Eh. What you get when you translate slapstick comedy into sci-fi claymation.
  • The One O'clock: Eh. A decent idea (an office across the hallway from the marriage counselor gets confused couples) but nothing more.
  • Fancy: Eh. About a visit to a gynecologist. Probably more funny to females.
