Never he was always bad

All of his old works were on par with each other I'd say.

Unironically this, his animations were always cheap and lazy, he is the second most overrated web animator after Edd Gould himself

Girlchan was his magnum opus.

This.
Dude was a flash in the pan due to being in the right place at the right time. The content wasn't ever good, but because almost no flash content was good he could still get tons of views from 10-16 year olds on NG. How the early 00s played out with flash just dosn't happen today. Time and place.

Girlchan, easily.
It was a really good, if simple, parody that holds up much better than any of his other work. It's no masterpiece or anything, but it's the closest Ego has gotten to Uklejoe's level of adsorb comedy.

Pokeawesome 2

Girlchan no contest, second one the most in my opinion.

The real question is when did he hit rock bottom.

It was a gradual decision for him to not focus on animation. He could have improved his craft more and more if he didn't have other priorities, but unfortunately YouTube forced his hand. Fuck, even Max when from the Pony.mov guy to top tier animator with the recent Sonic stuff.

YOU WRITE ME BACK INTO THE FUCKING SHOW RIGHT NOW I DON'T GIVE A SHIT, KIDS WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL

Conception

Eddsworld's animation really hasn't aged well and it's actually kind of sad how much the animation quality went up after Edd died, but the stuff he made was still funny.

I'm trying to think of which localized anime did this the most egregiously.

Edd barelly improved his animation and style because he was a lazy piece of shit, when compared to any other big newground animator his progress was embarassing. He was easily the least talented artist of the newgrounds old guard but people treat him like someone who changed things.

>animating for 15 years
>still hasn't reached his peak

some of his animations looked good but as far as writing/humor goes he has always sucked

arin literally piggybacked on jon's charisma. he's worthless

agreed.

I liked Awesome Chaotix too.

God, where does the time go?

Arin's lost a great deal of his sense of humor and appeal, but Jon was kind of a nobody until he made Grumps with Arin. Arin was the only reason people really gave Grumps a chance initially. Obviously, things have changed dramatically, but Jon actually does owe some of his success to that initial association with Arin.

DAMMN RIGHT MMM HMMM

>Jon was kind of a nobody until he made Grumps with Arin
This isn't true at all. I don't think you were there when it started or at the least don't remember properly. Jon was already really big, had major success on Reddit consistently by that point, etc. The two coming together for a show was widely seen as a dream collaboration or uniting of the mega powers.

Still think it's sad Arin gave up on animating/drawing. He has talent. It felt like he was just hitting his stride and then he gave up.

Because Ed died a hero and didn't live long enough to see himself became the villain like Arin has.

The most valuable and entertaining part of Arin is his voice acting skills. Prove me wrong.

I could do most of the voices in any of his animations right now, it's not that impressive. I used to just voice the entirety of Metal Gear Awesome to entertain myself

he doesn't regularly get voice acting roles for a reason

I can tell you when Arin's animation peaked. it's not that hard to find it
there was this video he made somewhere around 2011 or so
it wasn't grand or very cartoony, but he was able to keep the spergy animation down to a minimum,. kept everything on-model, and it moved fairly smoothly

it's some video called a letter to game studios or something. I don't quite remember anything other than the animation being the best i'd seen from him
it's basically the proto-sequelitis, wherin he describes how he wanted the game industry to change

This is beautiful

May as well post the other one.

He peaked HALO REACH

The Tester.

He probably has the most loyal fanbase of all the NG animators.

Is just that he's one of the few newgrounds animators that made a web series rather than random stupid bullshit.David Firth with his Salad Fingers cartoon is another example.

*had
I doubt he has many followers for animation anymore. He sold out hard for let's plays and abandoned animation for the most part.

Dying before you had a chance to fuck up is the only way to be universally respected

>abandoned animation
He animated a couple of videos every year, Madness Combat is at episode 11 now. He never stopped animating unlike Arin and Oney.

John Lennon died first but he fucked up the most.

the fuck are you talking about? he's never been in an LP as far as I know. Plus, he's literally working on the new episode of madness right now.

>He sold out hard for let's plays
That's Krinkels not Oney. Krinkels is still animating and making games.

>The real question is when did he hit rock bottom.
When he LP'd Ocarina of Time.

that's not even true though, oney didn't stop animating. he went to make music for other games and he's doing 3d stuff as well as his own game. he doesn LP to past the time and dick around.

maybe saying he was a nobody was inaccurate, but his subscriber count was considerably smaller than Arin's, and his popularity grew an enormous amount from the association.
The same thing can be said of Dan.
Sadly, we seem to have reached a point where both of them somehow have better things to offer and Arin's kind of stagnating while apparently burning bridges, but the association did open some doors for them.

I actually loved that season.

His LoZ 64 critque video

I think personally he was wrong, but him doing what he wanted and saying "fuck it" to the community was unironically based

>DAMMN RIGHT NIGGAH MMM HMMM
Fixed that for ya.

Dan was a literal no one before GameGrumps

Dan had NSP, and I knew some folks that knew of them before GG.

PSP Squirrels was the funniest thing he ever did. And the original animatic easter egg version was better than when he fully animated it.

Every single time he does that fucking Larry the Cable Guy voice.

That fucking video wasnt even mean

Edd did improved a lot and he absolutely had more talent as a writer than most of the newground old guard.

>Dan had NSP
That's true, but before his association with Arin, NSP had like, 100,000 subs and Dan had to work additional jobs and his living situation sucked.

His situation improved enormously from the association--granted, he faced irrational hostility from the fans for way too long over the fact that he wasn't Jon, but his band's popularity grew explosively once people finally warmed up to him.

Also Egoraptor posted his band music clips from his main channel to shill them more.

NSP is the second worst "comedy band" on the face of the Earth, who the fuck likes that over the age of 12

>Pony.mov guy to top tier animator with the recent Sonic stuff
Yeah he has actually gotten quite good over the years, I thought his switch over to 3d was going to look like shit but he pulls it off well.

>who the fuck likes that over the age of 12
Women over the age of 20

WHO?
WHO IS EGORAPTOR?!

t.zoomer seeing this thread and only knowing who Arin Hanson is

as a male fan of NSP thats 25 years old, pretty much this.

The worst one by the way is Starbomb

Yeah Arin's "singing" is pretty cringe

I wouldn’t say bad but he was never anything special. People act like he made revolutionary content when at its core it was basically just low-effort Ctrl Alt Del video game humor. Except animated.

This.
Console vs PC was kino and then he naver made anything again.

>why am I connected to the godDAMN BEE JESUS
Delivery of that line was fucking excellent

thank you, abraxas

Oh user, he can fall so much more

I tried watching some old GG content with Jon in it and I honestly have no idea why people prefer him over Dan's raw charisma.

do you have any comedy band recommendations?

When Jon-Grumps ended

dan is unironically the best grump

Definitely this, not only did it shatter any illusion that he had a semblance of knowledge about how video game design actually works. Calling into question all the work he has done on Sequelitis. It as just made him seem like a shitty person cause he's an asshole the entire time and has meltdowns over a children's game that he doesn't bother to read or even attempt to learn the game mechanics for.
If we are talking purely animation downfall I'm not sure, it's more of just a petering out and deciding to focus more on Grumps than animation. It bothers me that I still get videos in my recommended that are Starbomb music videos and they aren't even animated by him. I can't even think of the last time he animated something himself.
Not exactly bands but:
Weird Al
Doctor Demento

CAD at the very least tries to tell jokes. All the humor in the awesome series is "LOL PENIS" or "FUCK XD".

Jon is still a nobody.

Dan and Ross could probably carry a channel as well if not better than Arin.

>major success on Reddit

That's not a thing.

> I honestly have no idea why people prefer him over Dan's raw charisma.
People liked having someone be funny. Dan doesn't do that.

Always be suspicious of contrarians. Contrarianism provides a shallow illusion of intelligence that people like Arin abuse.

You'd have to have been good at some point to peak.

the tester was his downfall though. It very much showed he was the least interesting person out of a bunch of random weirdos. Skydiddy and betty spaghetti blew him the fuck out. Even the retarded women were giving more drama and entertainment than ego did.

And Egoraptor's main audience is youtube as well. Comparing their success on there makes sense.
