Videos I Like #20: Mega Man and the Pompous Robots



Mega Man walks into a robot master's chamber, prepared for battle. Tengu Man descends from the sky and... goes on and on about how great he is. Never mind the fact that Mega Man already beat him twice. Then, as if there isn't enough robot arrogance in the air, Bass appears on the scene. Tengu Man and Bass get so wrapped up in themselves that they forget the reason they're even there in the first place: to fight Mega Man.

Released in 2004 on New Grounds, Mega Man and the Pompous Robots is one of my favorite flash animations. It's good humor without using any obscenities so it's good viewing for kids, too. Using Bass and Tengu Man for the boastful robots was an excellent choice. Tengu Man always seemed full of himself to me and Bass was created to be Mega Man's rival so it should go without saying hat he's got a huge chip on his shoulder.

You can view the original on New Grounds in the highest quality, but there's also a version on YouTube complete with annotations commentary. You can view that version below. Kudos to MalamiteLtd for making such a good Mega Man flash video.
