Like Website/YouTube and other user generated sites, you'll find flashes that are close to TrueArt (check out some of the stuff below!) and flashes that are [[SturgeonsLaw as bad as you might expect from such a large collection of animation]]. Indeed, some [[JerkAss groups]] like to submit bad flashes [[{{Troll}} just to laugh at the reviews]] (the worst ones generally don't last long before getting blammed). And the site has great deal of very, VERY {{NSFW}} content (when they say adult content, they mean it!). You've been warned.

Newgrounds also features audio portal where people can listen and download user-made songs for free and use it in their works. They also have an art portal where the content differs greatly from the art found in Website/DeviantArt.

->"''Everything, by everyone.''"
--> The site's motto

[[http://www.newgrounds.com Newgrounds]] is a very popular WebAnimation and WebGames site created by Creator/TomFulp, where you'll find far over 240,000 UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash animations and games submitted, watched and played by over 6,000,000 users. It's quite big, in other words. The site's owner, Tom Fulp, started the site to showcase his flash in the late '90s, but soon other artists began to ask him if they could appear in the site too.

This eventually led to the creation of {{the Internet}}'s first automated portal, where users submit their flash to the site and users of the site then vote to see if the animation should continue on the site ("saved") or should be deleted ("blammed"). The site has grown considerably since then. For a more detailed history of the site, see their page [[http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/about-newgrounds/history here.]]

Like Website/YouTube and other user generated sites, you'll find flashes that are close to TrueArt (check out some of the stuff below!) and flashes that are [[SturgeonsLaw as bad as you might expect from such a large collection of animation]]. Indeed, some [[JerkAss groups]] like to submit bad flashes [[{{Troll}} just to laugh at the reviews]] (the worst ones generally don't last long before getting blammed). And the site has great deal of very, VERY {{NSFW}} content (when they say adult content, they mean it!). You've been warned.

Newgrounds also features audio portal where people can listen and download user-made songs for free and use it in their works. They also have an art portal where the content differs greatly from the art found in Website/DeviantArt.

If you wish to get an even better idea about with all this is about, check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFS7APAApBA this video]] by kaptainkristian about the site's history and role in the evolution of animation and Internet media. Newgrounds user [[http://thewax70.newgrounds.com/ thewax70]] captures the spirit of the site and its motto quite effectively in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWuqBnZWc3w this Flash animation]], which features more than 40 of Newgrounds' original animations and games. There's also [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/666610 this interactive collab]] released for [[MilestoneCelebration the site's 20th anniversary]] featuring several of the site's iconic creators and characters. In reverence to all of the above, the Tankman is set to appear as an {{assist|Character}} in the {{Indie|Game}} MascotFighter ''VideoGame/{{Fraymakers}}''.

In preparation of Flash's 2020 end of life, Newgrounds is designing [[https://www.newgrounds.com/flash/player its own Flash player]] to preserve its 20+ years archive of content.

!!The site itself features examples of these tropes:
* AchievementSystem: In 2008, an achievement system was added that allowed users to add medals to their games and movies.
* AnimatedShockComedy: With the dawn of UsefulNotes/WebTwoPointOh, along with the release of [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark the taboo-breaking]] {{trope codifier}}, the site's creators were encouraged to push the boundaries of both [[VulgarHumor humor]] and [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash technology]]. This trope would be phased out over time, as both technology and adult animation refined themselves throughout the [[TurnOfTheMillennium new millennium]].
* AscendedFanboy: Several artists, musicians, animators, and various other notable artists have gone on to [[Creator/FUNimation work]] [[Creator/{{Nintendo}} for]] [[Creator/{{Sega}} major]] [[Creator/CartoonNetwork studios]], tour around the world, or start their own indie media labels.
* ButtMonkey: The site's founder, Tom Fulp, is often on the receiving end of this, as people make him a target of their jokes or give him a silly [[TheCameo cameo]] in their work, albeit mostly in an affectionate manner.
* GottaCatchThemAll: The secrets. With the redesign all but one are gone, but the crew is planning on creating new ones.
* {{Gorn}}: The "Ultra Violence" category is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin made up of ultra violent flashes]].
* HighPressureBlood: The site loves this.
* {{Mascot}}: VideoGame/{{Pico}}, [[WebAnimation/{{Tankmen}} Sergeant John "Tankman" Captain]], and [[http://newgrounds.wikia.com/wiki/P-BOT P-Bot]].
* MedalOfDishonor: The "Turd of the Week" award was supposed to be this, as it was given to the lowest-scoring flash without being blammed. However, it encouraged many creators, particularly ones from ''Website/TheClockCrew'' and other {{troll}} groups, to spam the portal with crappy flashes. While still present, it's no longer noted in the Classic Portal to discourage people from actively ''trying'' to go for this ''reward''.
* NetworkDecay: The site gradually shifted away from its VulgarHumor roots in favor of a more diverse portfolio of flash movies and games. This is reflected in the contrast between the old and new taglines. Raunchy works are still produced for the site, but they're no longer exclusively the focus of the site or its community.
* NotTheIntendedUse: After VideoGame/GeometryDash update 1.9, many Geometry Dash players began to steal and upload content to the Audio Portal to [[GoneHorriblyWrong use in Geometry Dash.]]
** On February 1st, 2017, Both [=TomFulp=] and [=Robtop=] announced fixes on both ends to resolve this issue ending conflict between both communities.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Most content lies on the silly end of the scale, but the website does have a "Drama" section for more serious works.
* StickFigureAnimation: A highly prevalent animation style seen on the site, seen across the spectrum of skill level and quality.
* SturgeonsLaw: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] with the site's "blam" system, which allows users to vote flashes off the site. However, because Newgrounds has so many flashes to begin with, it's inevitable that crappy flashes will still slip through the cracks.
* TankGoodness: The site's logo that has been used for years is the Tankman.
* ToiletDrinkingDogGag: There is a Flash animation called ''[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/220951 Water out of the Toilet]]''. It is a faux ad where two dogs discuss the merits of drinking toilet water vs faucet water. The explanation for toilet water being better tasting for dogs is that well, [[ToiletHumor humans do their business in the toilet]].
