Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 3:48 PM I finished it a couple days ago. I hope you like it. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 3:59 PM Love it!!! Thank you so much. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:03 PM Awesome. That is awesome. That looked like it took a lot more work than the original - a lot more shots and stuff going on. Please, keep it up! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:04 PM LOVED IT....FANTASTIC! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:24 PM AAH! I love it hun! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:31 PM Outstanding dude! Simply oustanding! If Adam ever sees it - that is if he would ever look at something online other than porn - I think he'd talk to Comedy Central about getting you a show. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:34 PM Outstanding!!! "Born to Nap." rofl | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:35 PM 10 out of freaking 10! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:42 PM Wow. Incredible. (Nice touch with adding the "cone opens" part at the end again.) The font seemed out of place, though. Looks too tribal... makes me think of the Cheif Thunderbear animation. Other than that, excellent stuff. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 4:50 PM That is OUTSTANDING! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 5:19 PM Bravo! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 5:46 PM Yeah, good work. The ending is definitely the funniest part. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 5:54 PM Yeah... Adam could open my cone anyday.. Ohh yeah... When do we stop fooling around with the sub stories and the cheif thunderbear skits and get to the flash animation of Adam and Drew in a 69? | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 6:13 PM Amazing!! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 6:34 PM Holy christ! Good work Michael! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 6:39 PM That was brilliant. You should consider making ones of Adam's rants on gas stations in L.A. With the foreign prick behind every counter shooting you the stink eye. That would be classic. -Rachel | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 6:45 PM Oh my god, that's brilliant! Seriously Michael, you should try pitching this to Comedy Central or somebody (if you haven't already). | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 6:46 PM I'd also like to add, "Cone opens!" That's my new catch phrase. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 7:51 PM Does the villain remind anyone else of a blonde Kaiser Soze? | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 8:48 PM Man. That was great. Oh, man. Nice work. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 8:51 PM wow, that's incredible work! seriously some of the best Flash cartoon work i've ever seen- in particular the way you replicated brush strokes was fantastic. i really like the trees at the beginning, for instance, reminds me of old-school illustrators like Jack Davis. did you do it all in illustrator first using brushes for the lines then bring it into flash or what? it has that hand-drawn look that most flash stuff lacks. great work, i hope you do this stuff for a living because you're a lot better than most of other the people who do. also, this was one of my all-time favorite Adam bits, i must have listened to it 10 times. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 9:19 PM Oh, how could I forget: Adam's theme song plays as he walks into the club. That would make a great cartoon. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 9:32 PM That would be great. His airline story from 12/2 would also be super. The plane's still here!!!!?!!?!!! Just let us get on the plane!!! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 10:41 PM great work man... i can only hope we get to see the conclusion one day. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 10:58 PM I too love Adam's bit about his theme song walking into a club. Great work again!! | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 11:08 PM I really cant believe how entertaining these cartoons are. I too would like to thank Micheal for such incredible work. | |
| |
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at 11:39 PM Yeah, I second what Rachael and Ipod said -- I think "Adam's Theme Song" would lend itself nicely to animation. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 12:00 AM I second all of the above, but don't let yourself be constrained by our petty suggestions. Just go with whatever inspires you. Awesome work, man. I love it all. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 12:03 AM Kudos, Michael! Very entertaining. Please keep it up! | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 12:08 AM That was awesome!! If there's a next project, it should be the time Adam burned his girlfriend's stove with leg wax and came very close to being caught by the girl's militant, foreign dad. That was a good story. Either way, you're the man!! | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 12:37 AM That cartoon was spectacular - it without question made my day watching it just now. I wish I could afford to hire you to make Loveline movies full time, just so I could watch them. Michael, you sir are a true artisan. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 2:47 AM great job!! not that it hasn't been said 100's of times before to you, but that was awesome. if loveline ever goes back to tv, i hope that they get a team of animators like michael and do it up that way. i would say that it made my day to watch that, but since it's almost 5am, i guess it made my night/morning | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 8:34 AM That was really well-done. :) | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 9:05 AM That animation blew my mind...and Michael a.k.a. Thunderbear just became my idol. So what show was that submarine audio from? | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 9:37 AM That was great. Make sure to e-mail Lynette so she could let everyone know there is a new one. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 10:46 AM hilarious! what if he did one on the jack-that-dork game show? that would be an awesome animation. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 12:17 PM Today at 9:46 AM hilarious! what if he did one on the jack-that-dork game show? that would be an awesome animation. —geech "Hes gay" | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 1:16 PM Wow. Awesome. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 1:45 PM That was great. I too recommend doing the airport episode next. btw, how about putting up a cyber tip jar or something (paypal?) on that page? I know I'll contribute. Good realization of the design elements that Adam and Drew suggest plus the additional touches, like Adam punching Steven Seagal out. Why aren't the loveline episodes linked from the main P-film page? | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 2:42 PM I'd contribute to the tip (mason) jar for sure. I too find the airport story to be pretty visual and a good candidate, if I may say so. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 3:13 PM Somebody, somehow needs to get the website of that animation to Drew and Adam...and of course, mention Loveline Companion! | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 4:03 PM sweet | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 4:27 PM Great job! I'd like to see the goat "lover" done as a cartoon. Pretty long though. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 4:36 PM Somebody, somehow needs to get the website of that animation to Drew and Adam...and of course, mention Loveline Companion! How was the last one brought to their attention? Didn't someone from the show find it? | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 4:45 PM Wasn't Lynette the one who found it? | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 4:48 PM Hence my message for Michael to e-mail Lynette. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 6:24 PM Ah, okay then. He should do that. Oh yeah, where'd you get the music score for that? | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 6:39 PM awesome, i really wouldn't mind a jack that dork cartoon. keep pumping them out, thanks. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 8:47 PM Two more ideas: Fletcher vomiting | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 8:55 PM The holocaust would be great because of the Tom Arnold factor. "Nothin, just sitting here thinking about the holocaust." | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 8:55 PM I think trying to animate the Holocaust one might be a little much, depending on what parts of their dialogue he chooses to actually bring to life... "Burn those Jews, baby!" | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 9:30 PM Oh, man that was great. Can't wait for the next one. Holocaust would be fantabulous, but I'd really like to see the I can hear you thinking bit. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 9:55 PM You really brought that movie idea to life and "Cone opens!" is now one of my favorite drops. To those suggesting clips: I think Mr. Narren is fully capable of choosing one himself given what he has already produced. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 10:51 PM The person who ran into the first animation is Jimmy. Lynette is the one who contacted Michael and got his phone number for Loveline. | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 10:54 PM I think Mr. Narren is fully capable of choosing one himself given what he has already produced. —Mahalo
| |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 11:14 PM Brilliant. Is there a way I can download it? I remembered that rant too. Great work, GREAT. I know you'll be hit with suggestions for others (I too wish for the holocaust phone sex) but just take some time and bask in the glory of a job well done. I hope Adam & Co are recognizing the genius. (As a Hellboy fan I also enjoyed the "Hellguy" stuff on the site) | |
| |
Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 11:20 PM URL should be right click, holmes. | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 12:04 AM That was tits | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 3:42 AM Another suggestion: Animate Adam talking about how cops drone on and how Drew and Adam react after getting pulled over by a cop. I was just listening to a show where they go into the "taking the steering wheel with you" bit (April 22, 2004 - 16 minutes in) and I think it might make a good animation. | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 6:58 AM anybody remember the early november show with andy dick when adam does the role play of him early in the morning comming downstairs to the ranchero music and yelling at the construction worker who then cooks him a flank steak? flash of that'd be kinda funny, although he has done that same skit like 3 times. | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 4:57 PM THAT WAS FANTABULOUS!!! | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 5:04 PM Thunderbear, I think you out did yourself again!!! Aside from the awesome animation (the villain's flowing hair is my favorite), what Im most impressed with is the scoring... The music fits perfectly with each scene and the sound effects are exact! Great Job, you da man! | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 8:44 PM Excellent!!! Nice work on the animation. | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 8:50 PM Bravo! Daddy likey ..... Daddy likeyyyyyyyyyyy! | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 9:42 PM Wow! I'm happy everyone seems to dig it! GooseAss- I just draw right into Flash on my Wacom tablet with the brush tool. They added a "smoother" in the new version that makes it possible. Beforehand, every line you drew looked like a bent radio antenna! And I want to mention, because a lot of people have guessed it, that in my interview a while back I said there were three bits that I was initially thinking of animating: Chief Thunderbear, this Submarine bit, and... Adam's walk into the club where the music changes. Now there's a ever-growing list, but those were the first three, so good guessing, people! The music is from a CD of orchestral bits I have for occasions like this. I can actually do a little music, but time was a factor, so I reached for the CDs. I just picked the ones that seemed right for the particular scene and slid them in with minimal trimming. And the font is really just how I write on the screen. By the time I got around to the titles and credits, I was just worrying about getting it done! Maybe next time I'll jazz them up a little. So I actually have emailed Lynette, along with some other people who could potentially make the show aware of the 'toon, and hopefully they'll mention it soon, so we can crash the sound page again! :) Anyway, I'm very happy. Thank you all so much. | |
| |
Monday, December 13, 2004 at 10:06 PM Everybody get back!!! I've got some major ass kissing to do! No, but realy, it was top shelf material; as far as suggestions go; I'm still pulling for "The Goat rapeing Hillbilly!" | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 10:01 AM For Dusty the Hick: *raping | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 10:27 AM Did they mention the cartoon on last night's episode? | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 10:42 AM A work of art. | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 10:57 AM No mention of the new cartoon last night. | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 12:13 PM They'll mention it soon, I'm sure. Don't worry. And the font is really just how I write on the screen. By the time I got around to the titles and credits, I was just worrying about getting it done! Maybe next time I'll jazz them up a little. Really? You wrote all that out? Wow, I'm sorry. Now I'm back to being impressed. heh. | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 12:42 PM A Masterpiece! Well done Sir! Thunderbear have strong magic! Na Na He! | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 6:10 PM In an earlier post you wrote, "Now I'll go back to my other name on the Forum" - which made me wonder, why the alias, Thunderbear? | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 6:39 PM For Dusty the Hick: *raping —Lou Cypher THANK YOU! Nice to know SOMEONE'S been paying ATTENTION!! hahaha | |
| |
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 8:38 PM Anyone know the date of the submarine conversation? | |
| |
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 12:35 AM adam just mentioned this video and told people to 'visit the loveline companion' to watch the video and had some great things to say about the animation. it was right around 11:30pm tonight, tuesday 12/14's episode ... watch for the flood of newbie sploozers! nana-hey! | |
| |
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 12:41 AM just watched it ... hilarious! | |
| |
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 12:43 AM Brilliant!!! You ...You are very good. I'd love to see Adam as the strip club DJ with the "girls, girls, girls" in the background. Maybe Adam doing the "drop Trou" routine. You are very talented. Keep it up! Put up a PaYPal tip jar and I'll hit it. Thanks! | |
| |
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 1:43 AM Adam plugged ya shit and he plugged it plenty, Thunderbear... Great work, blah blah... At the risk of sounding unappreciative.. it felt unfinished.... I know ya working with the bits they gave ya... but there gotta be something you can weave in from another show to give it a drammatic ending.... I'd love to see a cartoon end with a stripper wearing nothing but pasties and spider man underoos saying "more jello please"... LMAO!. | |
| |
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 8:37 PM Yay! My plug! The circle is complete. The audio I used for the 'toon came from the August 8th episode from this year. I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of the day-delayed tapings, so hop on the hub, everybody! And Kevin, as for my use of an alias, it's probably the reason Engineer Chris uses one. There's a freedom in anonymity. Last night, Adam said that he just wanted to blend in in public. That's pretty much the thinking here. I'll deal with cartoon issues directly, and then discuss what type of porn I like as someone else. (Oh, okay, I dig squirters!) | |
| |
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 8:41 PM (Oh, okay, I dig squirters!) —Thunderbear Guess what I'm doing right now? rofl I'm ACTUALLY starting to MISS Dr. I.M. Jakinov. Now THAT'S SCARY!! | |
| |
Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 8:12 AM fucking AWESOME, MY GOD. | |
| |
Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 6:49 PM that so kicked ass u should call the show and talk to them | |
| |
Friday, December 17, 2004 at 4:14 AM That piece must either be from a Sunday show, or it's more than 5 years old... I've been listening faithfully Mon-Thur for 5 years and never heard it... Excellent work though... can't wait to see the sequal!! | |
| |
Friday, December 17, 2004 at 1:57 PM Why the HELL don't you listen on Sundays, Eric?! HERESY. YOU SHALL BE HANGED. I vaguely remember that bit, but it can't be more than a year old. So it must have been on a Sunday. | |
| |
Saturday, December 18, 2004 at 6:05 PM Is it the August 8th 2004 episode? That's the episode with Seth Green and Dax Shepard. I thought the Submarine idea was from an episode with just Adam and Drew. | |
| |
Saturday, December 18, 2004 at 7:16 PM Aha! The submarine bit was actually from the August 15th, 2004 episode. EDIT- Also noticed something edited out: Drew bringing up Dinetti, of "Coffe & Donuts" fame, as the guy Adam or Steven Seagal would play. | |
| |
Sunday, December 19, 2004 at 2:11 AM Yes, it's the 15th. I mistook the month number for the date. Duh. Did I mention I went to art school? So embarrassed. | |
| |
Sunday, December 19, 2004 at 5:30 PM Can someone post the clip where Adam mentions the cartoon? | |
| |
Tuesday, December 21, 2004 at 3:38 AM Can you handle one more comment of praise? I like the suggestions for future clips. My preference would be the airplane story about the broken latch on the overhead bin. I think the tip jar is a good idea. I would donate towards the making of more Loveline cartoons. | |
| |
Tuesday, December 21, 2004 at 1:32 PM I'm a little late, I know. But I've been waiting to watch your second animation and I just got around to listening to the show where Adam brings up the fact that you finished it. Man, that was incredible. I couldn't stop laughing. Great job. | |
| |
Tuesday, December 21, 2004 at 4:09 PM God that's brilliant! It takes a lot of skill to synch up the animation with pre-recorded sound and he does it exquisitely. GOod job and keep em coming :D | |
| |
Tuesday, December 21, 2004 at 10:52 PM Thunderbear, That is absolutely fantastic, very impressive, and very talented. Just great, I think you've hit on the (only way besides radio?) perfect way to do something with Adam's talent for story telling. Just awesome, thanks so much for the work. I agree with others, there has to be some way of putting this on comedy central, or something, maybe like the Robert Smigel cartoons on SNL. But even if it doesn't, I hope you keep making them for us! Also, I'd like to echo the other board member's thoughts on the airport story. I really think that would be so funny, if you showed it all, Adam waiting outside, and everything, but of course that's up to you. His personal music bit would also be great too. | |
| |
Monday, January 3, 2005 at 9:17 PM I'd like to see an Ace's Traffic and Weather. "Bakersfield checking in at.... 69. Watch out for tail lights." | |
| |
Tuesday, January 4, 2005 at 10:12 PM Michael - that was amazing. So seamless, you'd think that you worked with Adam & Drew while making it. I of course, would also like to see the animated jack-that-dork gameshow. | |
| |
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 at 12:23 AM Oh wow, man. Keep 'em coming! | |
| |
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 at 11:30 AM I of course, would also like to see the animated jack-that-dork gameshow. *DAG vomit drop* I really don't want to see animations of guys jacking off. I doubt most other people want to see that either. | |
| |
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 at 8:13 PM Personally, given a compulsory choice, I'd MUCH rather see it animated than live-action. | |
| |
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 at 9:11 PM Yeah, I mean -- 'cause a gameshow like that, shot in live-action could turn violent. And then someone might come. | |
| |
Thursday, February 3, 2005 at 12:41 PM oh man Thunderbear YOU KICK ASS That looked so cool, keep it up man, for us AND for urself im sure a few more of those and u will get noticed like a hot chick in a room full of retarded old fat dudes. man Adam would LOVE this cartoon!!!!!! | |
| |
Thursday, February 3, 2005 at 12:54 PM He's seen it. He has liked it. | |
| |
Thursday, February 3, 2005 at 1:22 PM Nice man, coudl u Lou or anyone, give a couple quotes of what Adam said about? Theo man get ur butt movin on some more songs man, id love to see Theo and Thunderbear become regular additions to the show in one way or another. | |
| |
Thursday, February 3, 2005 at 1:27 PM Does anyone have a clip of Theo's christmas jingle? I've only heard it on the air, but I remember it being some of his best work. | |
| |
Thursday, February 3, 2005 at 1:37 PM "Anderson's with a hooker who's blind..." I am STILL cracking up over that one. | |
