Inspired by the WoW music video of ROFLMAO set to the tune of Mahnah Mahnah. Realized nobody\'d ever done a T of everybody\'s favourite musical sketch.

Cool how about the funky characters at the bottom either both enlarged or just one with the text.

I was considering incorporating the "O" shape of their mouths in the bottom line of text. It'll take some doing, but I think it's possible. Anybody else think that's a good idea?

sub it?

here are mine if you are interested:

Oh man, this is really cute but I was disappointed because I thought I was going to get to see a picture of Mao Zedong rolling on the floor laughing. :-(

i like the concept but not sure if ROFLMAO is the best one to use, but then again there aren't any other longish ones

Remember taste is individual and only improvement techniques are worthy, you can't please everyone.

thanx brew-san,
never heard of it, so i didn't get it....

Played heavily with the type, went with a more whimsical font. Slightly modified the pose of the main character, tightened and cleaned it up. The white outline behind him is heavier. The supporting characters' placement has been changed to reflect the new type treatment.

firstly i'm pretty sure all the muppets are copyrighted, so you can't submit a design with them in it, secondly the first version of this song with puppets was much better : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTkGXuiT55w&feature=related

i agree with ginette about the muppets. also, i think the text is over-powering

I wouldn't worry about the copyright issue.
Maybe make the character look like he's laughing a bit more-
squint the eyes, smile bigger. also i would get rid of the white stroke

dude seizure, this nuts maybe to nuts. i think he needs to be in his underwear. and infront of a tv with a beer, but i don't have to say about this i don't know what to.

I'd like some more detail on the supporting puppets. The main one is excellent.

This is awesome. The main muppet and font at the bottom are perfect.

The top text looks good, but not.. right. I don't know how to change it exactly to make it better.

I think you should try moving the bottom muppets around, they don't have to be so symmetrical. Move the left one up a bit.

dentally love itttttttt lol i love this song with this pink muppets but i dunoooo i hope it can make it and pass the copyrights with u luck,, anyway its so cool and i love it thooo iat the bottom i would place them differently like hmmm art both begin and end of thew words and alittle bit tilted

kinda like the font more on v1

I think the font might be a bit much, and about copywrighting, I'm not familiar with the rules and everything. Also, I'm totally out of it. What does ROFLMAO? I know that LMAO means laughing my ass off, but I don't know the first part.

I'm not really feeling the text at all, I'd suggest doing away with it entirely. Also, I don't really think it works on that background colour, maybe try something a little lighter? Or you could try integrating the characters a little more into the background, the solid white borders aren't really working here, especially around the hair. If you do want to keep a solid border you could try making it follow the spikey lines of the hair more closely, instead of being so rounded.

(thanks for critiquing mine)

i like it. its fun and colorfull!

I don't like the white outline around the character-- I think it would look better with no outline :)

thank you very much by your commentary, greetings, and I am very good your tecnica for hair texture likes the style although with another color of bottom, cool with a blue color is seen sky

Without the white outline i think it would look better. It might just look pasted onto the shirt this way.

oh, I love this song...very cute!!
put the two little guys on the side, how do you think?

Wanted to address a few of the issues discussed in v2:

-ROFLMAO = Rolling on Floor, Laughing My A$$ Off

- perspective on main guy has changed to make his mouth larger, his eyes narrower/"squintier", his nose smaller

- more detail added to the supporting cast, orientations played with

- went back to the original font (which I selected in homage to LOLcats), but placed it behind the main character for depth, played with it at the bottom for whimsy

- white outline, begone! I *lurve* how it makes the "hair" look. Great advice, guys!

- I'm hesitant to put these characters on another colour at the risk of creating a brain aneurysm from too many colors. Staying open to arguments to the contrary

- I'm not overly worried about copyright. This is not the Frog, the Pig, the Bear, the Dog, or the Purple Thing. This is a one- (kinda two-) off character, with two other one-off characters, saying something they never said. There will *never* (sadly) be official merchandising of these characters

work in idea!
i'm brazilian dont speak english good :S
but is beaut, more need work!

The text at the top is really distracting....is it supposed to be his name? I recognize the character, but I'm not sure I ever knew his name so it just kind of looks like jibberish. Or if you want to keep it, maybe make it a less noticeable color (like maybe in a matching green or something). Also, is there a better way to show the two little guys singing? With the words bouncing on the bottom it kind of resembles a sing along video.

Whoops...I just realized you explained ROFLMAO...I still think the shirt would look much better without it....Not sure people will pick up on that.

I say that you should leave off the type and show how it would look on a shirt.

scrap the 2 little dudes and the type at the bottom.

i like the type at the top, it woudlnt make much send to me with out it, because we all need to remember the name of that damn muppet.

and yes please display on the shirt

I agree, you should get rid of the two characters on the bottom. Also, I feel like his eyes are too black - they need some expression in them, you know? Maybe a twinkle or some pupils, or close his eyes to show he's laughing hard.

Thanks for commenting on my Grills Gone Wild - I posted the new version - critique?

http://www.threadless.com/critique/19174/Grills_Gone_Wild#v3

Going from Kozmo's comment, I think you should add a little more detail around the shades to make it more obvious that they aren't just huge eyes.
Also, some suggestions for the singing gals at the bottom: take them off OR make them bigger and change the placement (I was thinking one on each side) OR (my favorite) put them on the sleeves or on the back (top or bottom).
Thanx for the critique

how about using colours for the text? (the same you used for the design)
