Another problem with GA is that it treats its universe seriously, instead of going to the "We know this idea is stupid, but look what we can do with it!" route, they play it dead serious.
Also, self-awereness is another thing Enter hates, since one of his worst catch phrases:
"What I'm doing is wrong, I know is wrong, but I'm gonna do it anyway!"
 
What do you guys think from these scenes from "Gumdrops and the Amazing Glue Factory":
"Opening shot: The family is watching TV,but then Gumdrops comes out of the kitchen ricketic and sick
Sally: Oh my! Gumdrops what's wrong?
Gumdrops coughs
Linda: I think she is sick Sally.
Sally: You don't say!
A comercial with a creepy kid wearing a paper dish mask starts
Creepy kid: Hello...Do you have a sick pony?
Timmy: Wow, that's convinient!
Sally: Pssst! I wanna hear it!
CK: If you do, bring it to the Healthy Happy Pony House, and we will take care of it for you...
Timmy,Linda and Robert stare the Television for a moment, but then Sally shouts from the car, with Gumdrops tied like a mattress, with its toungue sticking out:
Sally: Come on guys!Gumdrops needs it!
Linda:Sally, we don't even know where that place is, and...
Sally: I don't care!Gumdrops needs it!"
Another scene:
"At the factory, the Creepy Kids take them on a tour, they stop at a room where there are a lot of horses in a eletric staircase, at the end, they are dropped in a funnel, at the end of the funnel, glue tubes come out.
Sally: I'm so happy you are going to cure Gumdrops Mister, when do we come back?
CK: We will call you!
Sally: Great!
Robert: Sally, can't you feel something weird comming from this kid?
Sally: Robert, what did I say about defying my authority in public?
Robert:...That you would shove a broccoli down my throat until I got breathless if I did it...
Sally:Exactly mister, just wait until we get home!
Robert: But...
Sally: No but's or woohoo's!Now, lets go home!Please mister Paper mask, cure our little Gumdrops!
CK: She might come back a little too attached to you!
Sally: Haha!That's fine!

In the car:
Sally:I liked that guy!Do you think he would like to share some milkshakes anyday?
Robert sighs

They actually work. Granted, if you sent them in, MrEnter would find a contrived reason why it's invalid, but good job!

Thanks
But I think Sally is acting like an stupid asshole, so he wouldn't read it after her first rude response
 
Well, you know that Enter bases this show on his very limited experience with the world. He doesn't get out a lot (He doesn't even have a driver's license.), so it's highly unlikely that he's seen much more than Chicopee. Massachusetts is one of the whitest states in the country, so black people probably don't cross his path very often.

All that aside, he shouldn't be forced to include non-whites in his work just because they will feel "underrepresented". Anyway, I'm done playing Devil's advocate. Let's move on, eh?
How much do you want to bet that enter has never even seen a black person IRL :lol:
 
Just want to throw this question out there, but does Enter really even like anybody who is helping him with this Tower of Babel he's creating?

Like, for instance, I've been working on a few different fiction-based projects with friends for the past few years. It's lengthy, time consuming, and ultimately we're going to get nothing but personal enjoyment out of it, but that's just it: we're enjoying what we're doing. Hell, half of what we've made or planned has been inspired largely by nothing but just jokes of situations in-context that we took a step back from, looked over from a different perspective, and said "hey, let's write this up for real and see what we can do with it!".

Overall, though, the key thing is that we enjoy it because we're friends collaborating on something we both like doing but don't take so seriously that we can't make fun of it or ourselves in the process. Naturally, providing constructive criticism is almost a given, purely because we have an interest in helping each other produce the best we can.

So far, all I get the impression of from Enter is he is driven to make GA succeed. Everybody involved either is a kiss-ass Enterbot and simply working for their idol is payment enough for his dismissive attitudes to everything, people who probably actually care more about using GA as a learning experience than he does but aren't willing to put their foot down against his demands (like fucking Gumdrop), or generally don't remotely see GA as the pillar of perfection Enter seems convinced it is.

A stupid comparison, but this almost sounds like how Voldemort is described in the HP books in regards to his Death Eaters; "Some Death Eaters think they are Voldemort's friends, after all his earliest followers back during his days at Hogwarts would become the first of their number, but Voldemort himself does not have friends. Only servants. He cares for nobody but himself."

I love how Sally forcibly tied down Gumdrops against her will and drove off before anyone even had a chance to say anything. That's the kind of well-timed physical comedy that Enter is completely oblivious to. "Kids are entertained by pages of forced unnatural sounding dialogue, right?"
 
Kricfalusi had the whole "actually being a genius" thing going for him for a while, though.
I'm not trying to say this in a rude way but in a factual way
if John k met enter in the animation department. He would probably despise him. John said that if you cant draw/animate by yourself and you boss around others or want to get in the industry, that you essentially are gonna suck in said industry. I heard he really hates people who don't animate judge others animations
