"Graphically reasonable but lacking humour"
Lets start with your animation: It's quite good, the expressions are done well, the drawn backgrounds are nice however your incorporation of various animated elements is crude, and it shows tha way - I'm not sure if that's a purposeful element of style, but for me it doesn't work. The contrast between well animated characters and some of the more crude animations just created an unfinished feel for me.
In terms of your humour, it wasn't really funny. The underlying comic factor was immature and didn't have enough scope to last a film of your length - and although there was potential for a funny parody the jokes made were highly typical and derivative. Ironic considering the genre is 'Comedy - Original' - a distinct lack of originality is seen.
Your animation has potential - polish up on your graphical weak points and discrepancies, then focus on building up your humour. If you just don't hit the spot I would prompt you to be an animator and let others focus on the script.

Ha ha - very good flash, not the best imho, but very funny as usual.

Very good flash, I love how you created fear of the unknown (due to the boy's shyness) through the destruction of a beautifully surreal dream, with a perfect mix of jazz. The tension was built up very nicely as well, especially by the smile. You have a good understanding of how people will react and a good mind for flash. I hope to see more from you!

The animation was nice, and the game was fun. It was challenging, but not too challenging. I wouldn't mind a hi-scores system added though. Nice game.

But not much more, I didn't really like the isometric view, or the sound effects, it was a bit of fun but nothing great, also the pistol was very overpowered, I completed the game only using the pistol first time - very easy.

Inspired and funny, I liked it. To get a higher rating from me it would need more content, more graphical work etc. However for a small thing it's good fun :).

... ... ... Oh yes I was reviewing this.. quite honestly, it was boring, very boring. There was one joke (the all knowing squash) which was funny, apart from that every joke fell flat, there was no entertainment, so that's -6 points straight off. You then had terrible graphics, they needed more effort, and using picture backgrounds with sprites dropped in did not work, -2 point. Finally your voice acting, and sound quality was well.. meh, it could have been worse, or a lot better, -1 point. You also talk about surreality, but quite honestly it was forced. Surreality must have the random and inspired essence, however this lacked all of it, it was more jumping on the bandwagon shouting, "I'm surreal" than making its own way.

It's good and it's bad, but sadly the bad outweighs the good. To start with the idea is.. old, it's been over done, and honestly we don't need an impossible quiz tribute. The impossible quiz was fun because, although challenging, it was random, and funny, where as your quiz lacks that entertainment value, making it too tedious to endure. I don't think the principle idea is bad, and I don't think you made it that badly, hence the 4, however you need to rework the questions and add some fun.
