5.0 out of 5 stars Ha! The glorious humor during the dot com era., April 11, 2006

By	J. Groom "space monkey" (tampa, fl) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really look forward to this. And this is by no means a review of the DVD, just the original content. It was so ahead of it's time for using Flash animation with user interaction. It even got me and others to dabble in in Flash. Standouts were the frog in the blender, and of course the hamster-gerbil thing in the microwave or getting shot, ect. The voices were one of the reasons it so funny, too! Good times, good times.

5.0 out of 5 stars All hail Joe Cartoon!, July 29, 2006

By	Randolph R. Mckinney "Metal God" (Mooresville, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD is a greatest hits collection of his best online flash animation and shows. The PRESS & SPLODE feature on the DVD gives the feel of authenticity if you're at all familiar with Joe and his flash animation. It really does hold true to the online versions of these features (Gerbil in a microwave, Joefish and Lump the no-legged dog, to name a few but there are 8 of these included). You get some of his famous shows like "Stoneflies, Joe Momma and the hilarious GERBIL GENOCIDE" which I feel was his crowning achievement. All of the content, 40 total episodes, are completely faithful to the original online versions including the load screens and all. Though, some are a bit more explicit than I remember (I think). If you are a fan of the web site, you really must own this and the Press & Splode feature works with your remote like it would using your mouse to work the flash animation on your computer. All I can say is I can't wait for volume 2 to come out. Joe Cartoon rules ! "Yeah, who's with me!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Joe is Joe, there is no equal !!!!!, September 2, 2008

Joe has a very sick sense of humour and those with the same will enjoy this DVD almost as much as his website. I've watched his site and cartoons grow over the years and am rarely disppointed.

Much more on his website. Gotta check it out !!!!
