I don't really like the Sminky Shorts but each to their own.

He gets a big bowl right, and then he throws a heap of acrylics into it, then he mixes them with a big schtick and fcuks them at his computer screen.

I don't find them funny, even when drunk.

I think they're aimed at ppl who find Christmas cracker jokes amusing.

I like the majority of them. One or two are just plain weird though. But I don't enjoy Christmas cracker jokes!

The fat bunny one is genuinely funny.

The rest are mostly just animals with Cork accents.

Still, he's doing well.

Not a fan of them TBH.

Some of the mates think they're the best things they've ever seen though and reguarly quote them.

Hilarious but I'd say you would get sick of them fairly rapid.

Have to be careful when I see a new baby not to say 'he's got his father's gums anyway'.

Yeah right as if that would work.

Pour the acrylic mix into your computer via the disk drive. If the animation is going to be any longer than 3 minutes you pour the surplus into the usb ports starting with the one closest the disc drive working in a anticlockwise direction.

Remember to shake the computer vigorously afterwards for increased optical on-screen resolution.

I don't want to say in work that I think they're only alright because I WILL be looked upon as weird.

No you're not on your own i thought i was missing the humour gene as everyone was raving about them. The only one that's actually funny is the rabbit one. I actually physically cant make out what some of the other ones are even saying

He is more than likely using adobe flash pro, although it could be done with after effects as well.
