Go To

  • Awesome Art: One of the best independent Adobe Flash animators around, and his first short proves it. Even moreso because he uses it solely as an outlet for his traditional, classic-style animation.
  • Awesome Music: With Animation You Can!
    • The titular song in "Skyrim" is also really great too, as it has original lyrics set to the Dovahkiin song, that are performed quite well, even though it may have some crude bits in it.
  • Cliché Storm: While each individual cartoon contains new and unique ideas, you know there's going to be graphic, exquisitely-detailed violence at some point. Watching too many in a row can reduce you to counting the seconds before the bloodbath.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • Hitler And His Talking Vagina...sadly, this idea gets tossed out.
    • The theme song to Saturday Morning Watchmen saying that one of Dr. Manhattan's powers is giving people cancer.
    • All of "Stephen The Lesbian", from start to finish, but especially at the end, where he is crowned the "King of the Lesbians", and makes a decree for all the lesbians to sleep with him, and yet they all agree to it!
  • Designated Hero: Stephen the Lesbian. He hits on a woman who is already spoken for, kills his competition, and is crowned King of the Lesbians for his actions.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • A lot of people seem to really like Grass Man. There's even a Facebook fanpage for him.
    • Stephen The Lesbian deserves special mention, as he was never even intended to be more than a gag concept, but gained so much popularity on name alone that he eventually got his own cartoon.
  • Epileptic Trees: People have gone to great lengths to explain the bizarre characters in The Justin Bieber Show. Each of them is usually thought to be a manifestation of one of Justin's problems.
  • Fridge Horror:
    • There's one comment on The Justin Bieber Show that analyzes the symbols and makes that animation even more disturbing: "The crow represents the paparazzi, constantly butting in. The termite king stands for the music industry, how they want his albums to eat through all the other artists'. The hobo represents Justin selling his soul to the "Hollywood Life" and never being able to be a normal kid again. The bees represent his fans and how sometimes they can become too much. The dead baby represents his dead child hood. The faceless man represents how Justin's face will never again be his own." This was pretty much debunked however, by Harry himself. His response to this was 'No, it's pretty much just a random cartoon'.
    • Don't let the Watchmen parody's Saturday-Morning Cartoon exterior fool you. If you go into it with a decent knowledge of Watchmen's story, it's actually really dark. One part that stands out in particular would be the Comedian having a crush on Silk Spectre II, when she was his daughter in the source material.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: The 2011 animation "Stephen The Lesbian'" is about a man who makes himself the "King of the Lesbians", despite being obviously a straight cis man. Fast-forward over ten years later to the early 2020s, and there are several ongoing controversies revolving around transgender people currently happening in the west as of now, such as allegations of "transvestites" trying to sneak into the opposite space for example.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In Johnny Depp in Burtonland, he shows a gravestone engraved with "Michael Keaton's career: 1978-1992" to make fun of how Keaton's acting career took a nosedive after his Batman (1989) films. Keaton would subsequently have a Career Resurrection starting from the movie Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance).
  • Memetic Mutation: Two words...Grass...Man. Down below...
