It was all bad and had nothing good going for it.
I hope John K. submits it to the Oscars for “best animated short.”
Stop advertising here, Jon

HEH
God the "guest character" was the most painful part. It was like, a full minute of just: "OH MAN FUCK DISNEY. BUNCHA BASTARDS LOL IM SO BETTER. ONE OF THEIR STAPLE CHARACTERS IS SUCH A BASTARD!! LOL please dont hate me for blowing your money."
Kek, all the comments before they were disabled were about how much it sucked. One guy kept replying to all the comments calling them SJW and some other shit for not liking it. poor guy wasted his money.
>guest character
who?
>adding that creepy bit at the end with his wife
Watch it, you idiot.
Go away, John.
More like "Artists Without Talent"
Did this mother fucker actually put his watermark on the entire video in the lower right?
I assume that's the unfortunate bastard who wasted $10,000 to help fund the project.
>he removed it
TOP KEK
I want all the no dollars I spent on this! That was painful.

But John K's humour always was like that, even in Ren & Stimpy.
>really bad 3d cg
>random "guest character" parody with a nonsensical application to the story
I agree, it was really unnecessary.
you can tell he hated working on this because it has no loli
Has there been ONE successful kickstarter that lived up to expectations and was all it promised to be?
Lots of video game kickstarters have.
Oh and Hardcore Henry got crowdfunded. That movie was good.
The unfinished version was better.
Maybe it's just me but I always felt like John K was the oringal 2000's edgy high school kid. All of his shows are like these horrible deconstuctions of classic cartoons where the entire joke is just to be as gross and valgur as possible. It's like his entire style is based off all all the don'ts in both writing and animation.
john.k is such a mess without professionals propping him up and suggesting he make changes. ever since the motherfucker got fired all his work has a stunning lack of differing input. his method of storytelling and his sense of humor wears thin. he cannot carry anything by himself
and this is coming from someone who likes ripping friend and a few episodes of APC. like if this motherfucker can't adapt to a changing medium.. stop and go make sandwiches or something
donald bastard was bad but this post is objectively cringier
yeah man, bloodstained and the new mst3k
>Giving John K(hildfucker) hits
Why would I?
>hits
Are you a goddamn news reporter?
K(hildfucker)? Couldn't you have gone with K(iddiddler)?
now here's a thinking man
Shovel Knight
Divinity Original Sin
Yeah, that works better.

FPBP. This short is a piece of shit and anyone who tries to claim it's well-made is lying to themselves.
Can somebody upload that video in some other format or on another platform like dailymotion to ensure that the creator doesn't get any views at all?
That’s the grown ass boomer couple in the ending clip
George Liquor is based on John K's dad who presumably beat him a fucking lot right?
Also this short is fucking terrbile on all fronts, John K should retire because he's old news and banned from the industry anyways
He will
Yes, mostly video games, pretty sure lots of Board Games have delivered too.
If Kobe Bryant can win an Oscar, so can John.
For someone that's all about "perfectionism" and has always been criticized for his dictatorial approach to storyboard artists...Why does the 2D look bad here? There are bits were it looks great (specially on the nephew's reaction after opening the can) but there's bits with obvious tweening, frames that have lag as if they were made in an outdated flash program and there are often perspective problems during close-up.
Alos did they get their 3D on Garry's mod?
>480p
Here you go
I've seen a lot of local Kickstarters that were really just people asking for a few thousand to renovate the library or a few hundred to redecorate their restaurant. I'd imagine that most of the small ones work out just fine. You just don't hear about them because they're not selling anything interesting and they only offer a free monthly pizza as a backer reward.
He WHAT
Kobe and Glen Keane won one for Dear Basketball
their cans.......and they seem to not have labels
Hollow Knight. Team Cherry has given us fans even more than they promised, and that's saying a lot. i swear, all kickstarters should see Team Cherry as an example of how to make a proper Kickstarter campaing.
>perhaps the worst modern short film I’ve seen with perhaps the ugliest fucking animation I’ve seen from a PROFESSIONAL

I don’t know which is worse

The Trogdor boardgame was pretty great
Thanks man
>John K only has 23 subscribers
Is this really his account?
>Comments are disabled for this video.
coward
Yep, he advertised it on his other social media accounts
I doubt it since he was shilling the DVDs pretty hard on his insta and blogspot
I wonder if I should tell user about the shorts that got finished sooner with better, less error-filled animation for less crowdfund bux.
Nah. I'm not getting paid enough for this.
Tales of Alethrion
Video games seem to have a decent track record.
I've read about the Coolest Cooler being good
Hardcore Henry let me down... easy.
Ayyyyyyy
Oh ho! I have an urge that requires fulfilling.
People forget Lastman was crowdfunded, and that was one of the best animated series from the past few years
undertale
Love that show, but wasn't it kickstarted because their last few episodes lacked funding?
This. I'm guessing the pacing is shitty because he knows that monetization is based on how long people watch. Seeing his style utilized with modern technology is jarring.
Also what happened to the end with him and his wife? That's the most interesting part in all this.
I can't believe he's still trying to pretend nothing happened last year.
Okay Mr. Enter.
>the best part was the end which was just an ad for a food service because the girl had a cute design
kek
That isn't in the youtube clip linked. What happened to it?
Mr Enter has shit opinions but boy howdy that user was right about this one.
Is that still going or what? I kind of forgot about it. I remember some shorts but don't recall how long it went on or if I've even seen them all.
might number 9
Oh THAT's what those random 2 people at the end were about.
I'm glad people paid real money to see this made. Thanks John, always an inspiration to aspiring artists!
honestly not even going to watch it to find out, i wouldn't want him to feel validated in any way by my +1 view
>lived up to expectations and was all it promised to be
This AND MORE. It was originally going to be a short, but it got so much funding they went ahead and made it feature-length.
It your lucky day pussy
Amusing, but this isn't worth the 7 years of waiting and the 100[/spoilers] dollars I spent backing it. I never even got my DVD.
Is John K's time now officially, finally, and utterly over?
Still better than the same old pixar shit that wins.
Surprised he hasn't overdosed after all these years. The losers supporting his continued existence via commissions probably won't leave him even after such a shameless Kickstarter failure.
So John apparently made some small cuts between the DVD and YouTube release. Some shots don't go on for as long, and the pacing is a little better.
I still don't know what these fucking bird claws mean, though.
Is it a really bad visual pun on “crows feet”?
My biggest non-interpersonal and non-academic regret is giving money to Cans Without Labels instead of Anomalisa.
I genuinely liked the sketchy version better. 4/10
>this took six years and kickstarter backing
Ren and Stimpy is the only good thing he has ever done and that's because of all the improv and meddling.
This. Like all creators, John K. needs other writers with him and people to tell him yes and no. What we saw right here was all him and it's a mess.
How long will it take John K to realize George Liquor will never work?
FTL and LISA are the two my mind always goes to, although I think one of them was an IndieGoGo project.
How could I forget this? It was a delightful game that came with this delightful music video.
Easier said than done.
That would require him to first admit his father was shit.
Which I doibt he ever will.
When he's on his death bed
What was it?
Never, because John would never admit to being in error. Even though he's a miserable and lonely old fuck because of how he treats people, his bloated ego and sense of entitlement prevent him from ever changing his ways. He'll never give up on Liquor because it would mean having to acknowledge that he made a bad judgement.
no matter how hard he tries, johnK style requires full redraw of each frame to work. his best work will always be his music videos. (not requiring a story also helps in his case)
> Shitting on George Liquor, American
He was one of the best side characters in Ren & Stimpy
John, don't do this to yourself here.
Emphasis on side character. He's a shit lead.
>six years
Ten. George Liquor's VA recorded his lines a few months before his passing in 2010.
Wasn't Kung Fury crowdfunded?
After about 7 reincarnations
>Michael Pataki died of cancer in 2010
>John K forced a dying man on his deathbed to do the funny scream for his autistic abuse cope short
>People gave him money for that
Wait, what? I see no such thing in this.
Oh man, imagine being a Korean(?) lady that married some white boy, and he spent $10,000 to put the two of you in some shitty John K cartoon for five seconds.
Jesus. Well... maybe they still love one another very much! STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED... THIS GOT FINISHED, FOR EXAMPLE.
I suppose, but also some of the biggest flops and scandals
I need a timestamp, it sounds hilarious
I've seen better animators in Yea Forums and /ic/ than John K. They don't charge 10k for bullshit. Damn.
All the "extras" got cut from the youtube version after it was posted. Check the dailymotion version at the end, and ask yourself why that shit got cut on John's own channel: dailymotion.com
I just don't know how it looks this way. The CGI is bad. It looks like it's been slapped together in just under a year, no a DECADE
it was funny. now eat the FUCKING face.
>Why does the 2D look bad here?
each panel of the story board was made individually, then the whole thing was put together whitout reworking the timing of each segment. that's how it looks to me.
lol no you didn't LMAO
its donald bastard tv personality
I see why
He paid TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for that.
My poor broke ass is stuck in a weird flux.
Being poor and broke, my instinct is to wince and feel bad when I see someone blowing a lot of money on something that can't possibly be as good as what they thought they'd be getting.
At the same time, anyone that has $10,000 to blow on something like this has my loathing too.
So I feel bad for him... the rat bastard.
Ten Thousand Dollars to be Wally Man?
I have to wonder if maybe some of the big spends were like "oh, the creator of Ren and Stimpy! That was big, maybe this will be big too!"
>hits
cringe
>deactivated comments and likes/dislikes
doesn't this scream "masterpiece" tho
Max Gilardi is a better animator than John K showed himself to be in this animation, funny considering that Max was inspired by John.
Also why the hell did John put that food truck ad in at the end, especially since it's literally exclusive to buttfuck nowhere. Fuck that creepy pervert.
Yooka-Laylee
>Also why the hell did John put that food truck ad in at the end,
Backer probably?
HAHAHA OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SHORT FUCK THAT FILTHY NIGGER AND HIS STUPID MEME SPORT
He invested in that business
shimmyshack.com
I just don't get why they actually opened the can, for something called "can without labels", I expected 10 minutes of georges telling stupid stories to raise the hype to the kids, doing weird faces, menacing the kids and all, and then at the very end it's just something boring and game over. That current story doesn't really need to be called "cans without label", at all.
Good lord the animation gets worse and worse.
>Max Gilardi is a better animator than John K showed himself to be in this animation, funny considering that Max was inspired by John.
I agree. But he hasn't done anything original in nearly a decade, just parodies and movie reviews. I want him to do something original really badly.
Here, let me fix the ending
>George opens another can
>the boys run away before George can reveal what's in it
>turns out it's actually beef stew
>Investing in a mobile vegan burger franchise
>In Detroit
John K what the fuck are you thinking?
I just can't get over the "Special Guest."
All the possible ways to resolve this, and he went with "fuck you, Disney."
He wants the Indy cred.
Stand Still Stay Silent/Redtail's Dream has had very good, efficiently done crowdfunds, multiple times, that have had very little impact on the release of the comic.
Must be counting on Gentrification.
being an inch better than John K. isn't nothing to snuff at
John should stay a key animator, and get good inbetweeners to make it work.
>he knows that monetization is based on how long people watch
He did not design this thing for youtube algorithms. He was working on it when youtube was nothing but cat videos and rehosted porn.
I like how he says he'll put them in the cartoon, but just stuck them randomly at the end with no interaction with the actual cartoon.
God I hate John K.
>For someone that's all about "perfectionism" and has always been criticized for his dictatorial approach to storyboard artists...Why does the 2D look bad here?
"Perfectionism" just means you work and rework things until you run out of time and/or money and have to put out a shoddy half-finished product. It has nothing to do with actually releasing quality work.
Yeah. Between this and the scandal he's done.
He was already done in Hollywood. Now he can't even hack it as an outsider independent artist.
His goose is cooked.
I think it's a manifestation of the demon that's taken over John's brain.
Side character.
SIDE character.
***SIDE***
CHARACTER
Yeah in L.A. or San Fran it makes sense, but DETROIT?!
Why was it sponsored by a food truck chain ? The 50,000 kickstarter money wasn't enough ?
detroit is getting gentrified right now, huge chunks got bought up after 2008 by real-estate developers who are attempting to turn it into another fucking yuppie/chinese-money-holding area.
the problem with john is that he's trying to mix two incompatible things in his work, on one side you have the smooth flow of old looney toons cartoons, and on the other you have the blocky hanna barbera style where only fraction of the models move.
tfw season 2 never ever
