@HandsomeDevil: I actually already redrew Jeff, but he wasnt in the "Muh Balss" podcast, so you'll have to wait till the next one for him.
@Jeffsekai: I'm still practicing with lip syncing. The next one may have it. It really depends on how much I show them talking, because it takes a lot longer to do the lip syncing than without.
I have a suggestion. Maybe you should try to animate their bodies a little. Nothing to complicated like having their arms constantly moving around but like having their bodies shake up and down when they're laughing. I do really like these but for your first and third animation I always felt like something was missing. I don't know I guess just experiment around more.
EDIT: Holy crap I don't what happened there but the board glitched out on me.
I don't get why people didn't like the lip syncing. I thought that was fine, but I'm obviously in the minority. These things are still cool, though. Nice work. :)

I'm with you, I think they're alot better with the moving lips!
Was totally hoping you'd do this one next, and lo and behold!
Nice work - least favourite of the three though (despite containing what I consider to be the best banter). I liked the randomness of the others slightly more - had more variety. This one may have focused on the balls a bit too much (although they surely deserved the attention). Wish you'd bring back the lip movement though - while not to everyone's taste, I'd rather see you work at it more and try to improve it rather than just give up altogether.
Needs the lip syncing certainly. I think the extra effort is totally worth it. I like seeing stuff like this animated. It reminds me of the Ricky Gervais Show carton thing they did.
Oh also I really love Vinny's face in the 2nd one where he's imitating the "Uh uh uh uh" at the beginning. Great!
I can watch the Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh vid on loop for an hour straight and not get tired of it. These are awesome dude, I'm really looking forward to what else you've got up your sleeve!
Love this series and hope you get a chance to revamp all the Giant Bomb classic moments found on Youtube. As far as the lip syncing goes; i think just two frame anime style lip movement would be fine unless an expression calls for something different...i'd assume doing full lip syncing isn't worth the effort manually. I know there exists software that's suppose to automate lip frames with sounds and that may help out.
BTW, doesn't Ricky Gervais have, like, a cartoon show, where all they do is animate his podcasts? Or something? Whatever. As far as I can tell, this whole concept is, like, the best thing since sliced bread.
