I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

[up] I would like to point out that Pinkie and Cheese are already too zany for the low-key humor of the show.

For the rest of the show, I can see that. For this particular sequence, it fits fine, I think.

Besides, the 'felt' thing from season 2 can kind of be considered live-action in a way.

But Spongebob does it all the time. When you just do it once, it's funny.

Besides it's not like they are doing these kind of jokes all the time. I'm glad it's just a one off so yeah.

I wish I had a rubber chicken named Boneless. And by rubber chicken I mean parrot. And when I mean Boneless I mean Jack.

I find it extremely likely this face was traced over from the storyboards. The expressiveness is pretty off the charts, even for this show's already high standards.

In the premiere, some of Luna's faces from the animatics definitely made it into her final animation during her transformation sequence.

@Midna: I think it works well as a one time gag, but I don't think it would really work again. Also, are you new in this thread? If so, welcome.

While I can understand why it might not appeal to everyone, I thought that gag was great. Like others have said, it works mainly because it's so unexpected. If it was a common thing, it would get annoying really fast, but the fact that it's basically one of only two times the show has ever done that (the other being the felt sequence in A Friend in Deed) means it doesn't really bother me. This episode in general was basically constructed to specifically stretch the show to it's limit; so it's natural that they're going to experiment a bit.

So yeah, as a one-off gag I think it works, but I'd rather not see it again. It loses the punch each subsequent time you do it.

They could parody anime next.

Or is that a bit redundant? tongue

I think the show is already too Animesque to do that with any degree of subtlety. In order to make it clear that it was an anime nod and not just happenstance within the art style it would have to be a really blatant shout out. Like, we'd basically have to see ponified Goku to make it clear.

@Star Well...yes and no. I want to make vids like Jon Tron but I will never be funnier than him. Or like him. Also, I said Jack, not Jacques.

Is it really all that animesque? It's got cartoon exaggeration, but western animation has that in spades.

I have seen some anime-styled fake screencaps that look plenty different from the show.

Wind Waker style Coco

@Kyler: It's subtle, but it definitely qualifies. It's especially evident with the giant eyes.

@Marcen I'll keep that in mind.

On the subject of Animesque I really don't think it'll be possible to go make anime references when in the past we've had shows that just make fun of animes for the hell of it.

I think a good black and white 'film noir' thing could be cool as well.

Unfortunately Sponge Bob is just too cliche and "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny for it's own good.
