The Demented Cartoon Movie
The Demented Cartoon Movie is a popular flash animation cartoon created by Brian Kendall. As its title may suggest, the cartoon is both praised and criticized for its rather senseless and "demented" style of humor.
This cartoon is well known and popular for its general absurdity and complete lack of any central plot. It is set in the fictional town of Qrrbrbirlbel. Most of it consists simply of random scenes where the characters either get blown up by nuclear explosions (the Earth explodes more than 30 times in this cartoon) or end up in some other kind of misfortunate event such as being smashed by weights or getting their heads kicked off. It seems to be a satire on the excess of gratuitous violence that is common in many children's cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Animaniacs. Unlike most other flash animations, The Demented Cartoon Movie is literally designed to resemble a motion picture movie, complete with satirical previews, title screens, and credits. The cartoon is also often criticized for its tedious length (It is approximately 30 minutes, which is unusually long for a flash video). To compensate for the problem of lenght, the video has pause, rewinding, and fast-forwarding opitons, and even allows the viewer to skip chapters of the cartoon.
A similar flash movie, The Greatest Present Ever, is also by Brian Kendall. It is much like The Demented Cartoon Movie in its style of humor. However, this piece is much shorter, lasting only a few seconds long.
