Simply amazing... words cannot describe this, even though it only really applies to Kanto.

That was awful.

? Don't you guys have a sense of humer? I thought it was hilarous

I liked them making fun of Ash not ever reconzing Team Rocket's crap-tacular disguises. And Pikachu's voice was pretty funny.

The whole "Ash gets a badge without battling" thing would've worked better if they didn't use Lt. Surge, whom Ash DID beat in a battle. And having Surge use a Charizard was kinda dumb.

(Besides, Ash only used that strategy 3 times: against Brock, against Misty, and against Erika.)

Overall, though, it's far from the best Pokémon-related humor (that honor goes to both Hsu & Chan's "Pocket Morons" comics and any article written by a pastor or a "researcher" that claims Pokémon is corrupting our youth), but I've seen much worse. At least they didn't resort to the not-very-funny-anymore cliché of Pikachu cursing and/or recieving a grusome beating.

Simply amazing? I didn't find that funny at all.

This flash is slower that the normal nutshell cartoons. That ruins the humor.

Coming from a Pokemon fanfiction fandom lets you understand the crapness within.

If I were King Of All Internets I would banish any and all "In a Nutshell" flash cartoons to a thousand fiery hells, each one more fiery and more helly than the last.

and those "as acted by bunnies" cartoons suck too. lalalala

"Hey, you deserve this gym badge. Even though you didn't beat me and you suck."

EXACTLY what I thought way back when I tried out Pokemon for a week.

Oh, I've read Pokemon fanfiction, thank you. It's just that this animation is so crapply done on its own (look at the mouths, and the screenshot quality) that I can't bring myself to enjoy it. And, these gags have been done so much they aren't even funny anymore.

Yeah, there's a few good jokes in this cartoon (i.e. the crack at how Ash is usually fooled by TR in disguise even if the disguise is so obvious). However, I feel that "DBZ in a Nutshell" cartoon is WAY funnier than this one.

It was mildy amusing, but it was a little slow. The humor of those "in a nutshell" toons is that they are only 30 seconds long or so

**HellCat** · 07-22-2005, 04:18 PM

Feels a few years too late. Towards the end, the guy sounds like he doesn't even want to do it anymore and hopes the viewer will laugh at the fact the voices are high pitched.
