Kinda funny.

Unlike some of the others I thought the credits joke thing was quite funny. But the actual animation was too short to be laughable at. The most I got was half a chuckle. It's like the punchline was longer than the lead up, and I'd expected a little better from Explosm...
Also, in the credits I noticed you wrote "By our book". A little unprofessional, right?
And I felt that there was too much to read and the credits dragged on for a while. I understand that that's the joke, but maybe you should have cut down on how many individual things you wrote and increased the staying time of each. That way, those who can't read as fast can actually read what there was.

Lastly, this makes the original Waiting for the Bus not funny any more either. I saw you mentioned a part 3 coming in the credits. Yeah... don't go ahead with that if you were serious.

Too hard to animate?

There's literally so many faults I can point out about this that I fear there won't be enough words to explain it.
I'll point out a few in hopes that someone will be bothered enough to mention each and every one of them.
The first thing that bugged me was the sound. Apart from the persistent, annoying music in the background, there was nothing else apart from the punching sounds (about two of them, in fact) and some dialogue, played backwards...
The second major thing that I didn't like was the red dragon. At first, when he swoops in to pick up Popeye, he's barely larger than the boat and Popeye just about fits in one of his claws. The next minute, Popeye is literally a speck compared to just the head of the dragon. Continuity is a major issue is something like this.
The third and final straw came with the "too hard to animate" sequence. What was that? If you can't be bothered to animate something, you should really look towards a new hobby, really. Or at the very least change the scene. Putting in "too hard to animate" and shrugging it off as if no one will notice, or it won't matter is, well, pathetic to be honest. Now, changing the scene to something much simpler, closer to your range of skills, would make it more bearable, if not even seamless.
Now, I didn't come here just to rant, I wanted to point out that the animation (although I noticed some parts where the characters had no colour, albeit briefly) was quite well done. The art style was also quite good, not my kind of thing, but good nonetheless. I especially liked the detail on the wings and the design of characters (if they're yours, of course).
That is why you get 3 stars.

Simple genius.

Everything was optimistic and going well, when all of a sudden... A pelican shows up...

There was just something about this.

I loved the art style, I loved the music, I loved how it all flows together and I loved its simplicity. I don't know what it is, but I really like this.
The only problem I really had was the sound quality. Maybe you were supposed to have it like that, but the low beat sounded a little, I dunno, rough? I thought my speakers were acting up.
Other than that its great.

that

was great

what the

...hell was that?

"Lift off..."

WAH WAH WAHWA WAAAAH

Wow

That was actually quite sad :(
LOL!

I didn't like it.

None of it made sense. Now this would be good if there was a reason for it, but it was random for the sake of random, and not in a good way.
Now I don't know much about Brazilian folklore, but what kind of folklore has a man playing football with his penis? It's just vile.
It's not funny, don't get me wrong. I have quite an immature sense of humour but this is just not funny.
I didn't get the over-use of the fire, either.
What? Do Brazilians suffer burns on the regular? From anti-smoking lizards?
The things that did make sense were just downright predictable, like the "gorgeous guy" and the gay bar one.
Three stars;
One for the option to skip a video.
Two because I might not get Brazilian humor.

...

That was terrible.
It didn't make sense and it wasn't even funny to make up for it.
The sound and video quality were bad.
Just overall trash.

well fair enough. One can only rely on one's own imagination i guess.
