[Political Shifty : Foamy The Squirrel]

I think it’s just human nature to hope politicians will just do their job and fix larger problems like climate change and inflation so that we can merely focus on our jobs and not worry about bigger problems. The problem is that people who seek the power represent human nature at its absolute scummiest and most self-serving and TECHNICALLY are doing their jobs correctly, but unfortunately their job is NOT to serve people but rather corporate donors and their own party. As frustrating as it often is, even if a politician or several politicians that you genuinely approve of wins, you still need to be writing to them constantly and reminding them to at least pretend to care about the public—you can’t just tune out the news until a politician or party you don’t like comes into power, as relaxing as that sounds.

Also that random side-rant about subscriptions forcing you to stay in crappy jobs to pay them off has aged better than I would like, considering everything’s a subscription service that wants your money forever, now.

[Trouble Box]

Oh wow, you animate too! Kind of gives me Rayman 2/Tonic Trouble vibes!

[Printer Problems]

Easily the worst thing this printer did was waste insane amounts of paper throughout this entire cartoon. AFTER EARTH DAY!!

...Although it does seem to be able to run on a charge without being required to be plugged in every time it's in use, unlike every other printer in existence, so I guess it's an environmental draw for now...

[The Bowling Alley Screen When You Get A Strike [GOOD ENDING]]

I just really like how the ball rolled backwards as it said "Adieu, my fair lady." I don't know, I just thought it was a funny touch!

[The NFT Support Group]

Nothing screams "based" like going inside a literal safe-space to discuss NFTs without judgment due to no longer being able to handle constant criticism from environmentalists on the Internet /SARCASM

The microwave-head guy had some really loud and annoying sound effects at every phoneme, which was fun.

And I firmly hate the concept of NFTs and how their electricity could have been used to power underprivileged nations or at least play Elden Ring at Max settings, but even I have to admit that "bear NFT" that is just a real bear is objectively REAL in every sense of the word! Based...

[Kinda Reminds Me Of]

Isn't "Sr Pelo" supposed to be pronounced "Senor Pelo" (pretend there is a "tilde" or whatever it's called above the "n") instead of "Sir Pelo," since he speaks Spanish? Otherwise, great bit of cruel humor! Better not let this guy anywhere near the podium at the funeral, lest he start comedy-roasting the diseased father or using the body as a puppet or something...

JoelyMoley responds:

Yeah I messed that up but then I thought it'd be funnier to just leave it in

[Chimp Dinner]

This proves we do, in fact, live in a society. Or it’s just a disturbingly-detailed animation of a chimp being eaten alive. I’m guessing it’s the latter…

[Smiling Friends but it’s not fully animated and there’s still no budget]

That guy that spent most of his day scrolling through social media was born the same year as I was. Wait…is that guy…me?!!

[The sad truth about Sonic]

The lost third episode of the Sonic OVA series…

Also, isn’t there some weird Japan-specific censorship that prevents anime characters in general, particularly male characters, from being allowed to have nipples at all? Sonic could have just skimmed the second episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion to know he’s not alone…
