Brad Jones - Game Boys: The Animated Series

[Deleted]

Don't usually make one thread plugging someone's videos like this, much less two, but the Sleepaway Camp thing was because I knew a few people here were waiting for the last part, while this I'm pretty curious to hear what people think -

Not seen the movie it's based on, but based on this first episode... Better than I expected between the premise and the preview, but I don't really get the point of it being animated. It doesn't really add anything to the events that occur outside of saving them some effort on printing out some fake NES labels or something, and the animation is rather spotty.

Still, seems charming enough, and there are some good jokes in there - nothing that had me laughing exactly but a few smiles and chuckles here and there. Plus it's short, which is a plus given there isn't a lot actually going on in it.

It's because Clerks is what inspired Brad to make the movie this series is based on. And, if you've ever seen the movie, it's pretty obvious it's inspired by Clerks. So, Brad's taking it one step further and paying homage to the inspiration for it by making the series an animated series, like what happened with Clerks' series.

I haven't seen much of Game Boys but I liked this a lot. Kinda bummed that Andrew Dickman didn't end up doing the animation as originally planned but this works too.

Yeah, that'd have probably been pretty good. Don't know what to think of Dickman himself given he insists on Spoony not using the intro he made for him that he paid for, but the guy does great work.

I'd have taken the Power Punch II

Bad game or no, it's not in my collection
