I decided to brush off the dust on my newgrounds account and submit some content I've been working on, against all better judgement.

Whoa, at first I was like, "Whoa, what's AVG doing here?" I'm glad you were able to pull off a player in flash format, guys.
Nothing else to say except that AVG is... Awesome.
I'm taking it that other reviewers are disturbed that a video format is here on Newgrounds. Newgrounds can host anything, not just crappy stick figures drawn by 5 year olds.
I'm sure if this video was some 10 year old doing a crappy claymation project, you would've voted higher.
Another thing, I read somewhere that it said it was a ripoff of "Angry Video Game Nerd." ... "Awesome Video Games" is FAR from it... and if I remember correctly, AVG has been around for a LONG time. There's a difference in style... it's a completely different show. It just has to do with video games, which is the only similarity.
These videos already are on YouTube and other sites. However, posting it here is great so it can get more publicity... And I honestly think they pulled it off in a fashion that's great for flash. It had a border around the smaller player, and the quality wasn't damaged too much by it.
Too much crap gets vomited onto newgrounds people don't even realize the difference between something horrible and something good anymore.
Everyone who didn't vote constructively... go back to jerking it to your Pokemon Hentai and Kitty Krew animations...
...or, wait... I think they're the same thing...

This was awesome.
The graphics were of that of "awesome." But the best part about this was that it was true. The fact that you altered certain scenes made it a lot more fun and hilarious to watch for those of us who already saw the movie. (Like the hobos, haha.)
Awesome work!

It could've used some better background music and some voice acting. I suggest you improve upon it. Also, if you do decide to add voices, get rid of the text, it's way too slow. (At least try to mimic the Ocarina of Time style of a textbox if you're going to do an OoT bit.)
Otherwise, not bad.

Haha. For some reason I liked this. I didn't get the joke, if there was one. Although, for some reason at first I thought the title said "McGruff" like as in, Scruff, McGruff... CHICAGO IL, SIX OH SIX FIVE TWOOOOOOO!
*cough*
TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME!

Awww. Although it's not much of a mystery of what happens next... I expected more after that. But, it was pretty good, well animated!
Anyway, what did you want? I mean, Newgrounds has a Private Message system you know!
(If you didn't get the joke, my name happens to be Joe.)
Overall, it was worth watching! Good job!

I thought it was a cute series. Entertaining music as far as well, the music for something like this would go. That little champ sure doesn't give up!
However, one thing that bothered me about this. It's "Badly Drawn Dog" not "Badly Recorded Ear-Piercing Audio." You, might want to tone down the barks next time. >_>
Either way though, I thought it was amusing. =D

Now, honestly, I thought it was amusing. However, the audio was rather poor and I couldn't really hear things too clearly.
The pencil sketches are good however I would suggest putting some more work into the animation, by adding color to it in some sort of fashion, and even the crappiest background would suffice to add some extra flavor.
With some extra effort, this could be WAY up there. But for now, it looks to me just like a work in progress, a small idea that could one-day enter a new era on newgrounds.
...OR something.

COLOR IS EEEEVVVIIIILLLL!!!! I'd rather stick to black and white... and I don't wanna be a new era on newgrounds... remember that kid who did numanuma? I don't wanna become that...

It's fine if you're trying to make a point and make something somewhat serious for your mother. However, that doesn't mean we're not going to give it a low rating because of how horrid the graphics are and the way it was constructed.
First off, it lacked a preloader. Even for a small file, preloaders help. You can get a free script from newgrounds to get a preloader, even use that.
Second, try adding some background to it. Even if you're not that great, you could have still attempted a background.
I'm sorry, but I had to give this a low score, if you're truly serious about where your heart is and wanting your mum to stop smoking, you should put more effort into what you're trying to express.

Awesome job. I had no idea what I was watching at first until I was all like, "Wait! Is that ed atlin's voice!?" and then I looked at the author and I was all like, "Yo! This is from McBean! Awesome!" and then I continued watching in amazement.
