I understand how hard it is to criticise egoraptor without seeming like you hate it, I actually enjoy his work but it receives way more credit than it is due. It's not exactly hard to talk fast and swear a lot, but it's funny definitely....the first time or so.
The compilations especially show the repetitive nature of his cartoons, as they all follow so tightly to the basic formula as you've shown. "there's a black guy so let's make him talk gangsta' 'lol this character's gay' 'loldicks' 'lolhot'. It makes you giggle at first but then you just start wondering whether egoraptor is a homophobic, sexist racist, which I'm sure he's not. It's just that you expect to see something new from each piece, rather than the same flash with different characters in it.
This was a great short flash, the animation was smooth, the voicing was great and it made me laugh, so thanks.
Think I'll go watch Metal Gear Awesome again now.

Well I judged this too quickly, I'd assumed it'd be just the same as before but I was definitely mistaken. The animation has massively increased in quality from the last one, though I didn't see why the squiggly MSPaint outlines on the characters were necessary, must be a new fad. Good to see an animator improving their work and listening to criticism rather than disregarding it like so many do.
That part at the beginning where you personify yourself and that other person was just awfully cheesy and comes across as self-absorbed, bad start to the flash I'd say. Speaking of bad and cheesy why have you still kept that female voice actor? I cringe every time I hear it. The male voice actor was solid though, a lot more bareable than the last one, not sure if you changed it or just improved. I should've really checked the credits but the window's closed now.
The jokes themselves weren't all that great, I'll admit I laughed at a few of them but then there were just so many that were as bad and predictable as any other flash coming through with dick and fart jokes. I'm sure this caters well for the low teens/preteens age group of ham fisted morons bashing off to their latest anime obsession but I just feel like so much more could be done with this quality of animation.
That's my two cents, now if only Brawl was actually out over here yet.

There was so much style captured in that quick little movie, loved the way that the ogres face lighted up with glee just before pulling out his sword, really expressive. Hope to see more animations from you, hopefully longer.

Seriously though the guy behind the counter did sound a whole lot like Bill Cosby, rum raisin pudding. Overall it was good, if not a bit long for a newgrounds audience, even I had trouble sitting still for 5 minutes.
The voices were sound, they were clear and comprehensible, the only thing I'd suggest working on was the pace, though I wasn't sure if this was improv or read off a script.
Just keep it up and don't start talking really fast, swearing and constantly saying "WHAT THE FUCK I DIDNT EXPECT THAT?!" llolololololol

I did the entire thing as a one shot improv.
And yeah, I realize it is a bit long and probably really nonsensical.

You really seem to capture the pure essence of what a helicopter encompasses in it's flight through the heavens, never has aerodynamics been so fantastically captured as in this 11 second piece of wonderment.

One of my favourite tunes from the Sonic games, and it's finally done properly, wish you would do more like this.
