They used to be called Spaniels. Not anymore. The only difference is Beth's tail. =/
I thought I was going to LOVE Jennifer, until she...opened her mouth to speak...>_< My Saluki and I are deeply disappointed, I must say!
I love how hatable Jennifer is. The annoying voice, the constant use of the word "like", a good female antagonist in my opinion.
This show needs to be axed. The repetition at the beginning, the formula jokes, this doesn't really even deal with gaming except for their jobs and the occasional D&D reference which feels shoehorned in. Replace everyone with talking lamps and at least the character design would be original, if only that. Even the "awkward" moment at the end wasn't played right and made me grimace more than it did laugh. If Jon has a hand in this, why isn't it better? I enjoy everything else he does on this site, but not this. Must be the furri...oh wait. Sorry, "total lack of furriness ah ha ha".
Jennifer actually reminds me of an ex girlfriend.Snapette said:Hey, what's the matter with furries?ColdStorage said:

No no no, not that!, I meant the voice!
"It's ok Roger you failed your fortitude save"
I'm pretty sure thats a Will save, not a fortitude save.

Firstly, Jon (Etheridge, Voice of that Small Dog) said that he would have to be paid more to say more, which I am sure Russ doesn't wanna do. I am sure like, a change every 6 or so episodes would be fine enough.Abedeus said:
But yeah... Not a big fan of Jennifer, or the close ups... But at least Jennifer has a good reason to be a jerk to Chet. Chet lied to get Jen to date him, and that's never ever a good way to create a relationship... On a Lie!
Warning: Text wall ahead.
I've seen now that a few of the haters are sensible enough to (at least say they're gonna) stop watching. Please, the rest of you, follow their lead. If you don't like the series there's no point for you to watch more of it, other than to childishly keep flinging feces at it. Just go away and we'll all be happy.
Personally I like the show, sure a few things could be better, but I'm not watching and expecting the most awesome animated series ever. There are fun bits in there, and annoying bits as well but I have quite a bit of tolerance for such things.
As for this episode I really liked Bob's bit at the end, the rest was bearable even though Jeniffer really tried her best to make it not so =P Overall the show is good enough to keep me watching which neither Apocalypse Lane nor Unforgotten Realms did... or well, UR had me watching for about 10 episodes so it's still in the lead when pitted against GD so far =P
I guess me not being bothered by the whole anthro dog thing helps. As I enjoy anthropomorphic art this isn't all that weird to me. I still think it's getting more flaming than is necessary, anthropomorphic animals appear everywhere, Disney was built around them. Do you guys hate Disney for creating characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck too? Or Warner Bros for their Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck?
TL;DR: The show is good, haters go away. =)

A lot funnier then the other episodes. I knew if I watched this series long enough it would get better as the story develops. Great job everyone!
Good job making Jennifer as unlikable as possible and the whole KCD being sentient and doing stuff. I do like the show but I also agree that it could be better, not sure how because I don't do anything except comment once in a while and have no experience making videos.
Of course, she's the stereotypical one person you hire to irritate any employee you have who doesn't do any work.Greyfox105 said:Heh, just decided to do a catch-up on the episodes I missed.
It was worth it
And... [deity], that Jennifer character... would any company actually employ someone like that?
The voice was over-used, and the character Jennifer quickly overstayed her welcome.
For the most part I ended up jumping around between characters lines to avoid hers, and I honestly hope the next time we see her, Chet/Roger or Bethany is pushing her off the top of whatever company they work for into a pit of spikes.
Just drop the "animated before a live studio audience" and Gary's line, cut them out completely, they aren't remotely humorous. Considering I ended up skipping a large part of this video from jumping around I can't give an honest opinion about my thoughts on the whole thing.
Second, when are we going to see any development regarding the plot? They're supposed to be making a game about Satanic worship and Antartica, but they keep taking breaks, even though in the past episodes they seemed to "care" about losing their jobs.
Well, people kept saying "it's improving" at the start of this episode's comments so I gave it another shot after giving the first four episodes a try and then quitting, and... well, no it isn't getting better. It's not getting any worse either. It still has the same problems it's always had.
Jennifer is an annoying stereotype but the other characters' reactions to her are even more annoying. All the characters are in fact annoying as they are all stereotypes of one sort or another, so watching them interact is bland and predictable. I can see why it might appeal to very young members for whom the stereotypes might be newer (and therefore funnier), but watching it makes me cringe as the jokes and characters seem under-developed. It's just one big parade of badly-written jokes and uninteresting, predictable situations.
Oh and the "animated before a live studio audience" has got to go, it's not funny (although keeping is I guess a good warning sign for the lack of humour in the actual episodes). If Game Dogs is "animated before a live studio audience", why don't they ever laugh or say anything? It's a rhetorical question, obviously. Don't get me wrong, not having a laugh track is GOOD, but you don't want to draw extra attention to the fact that nobody is laughing when the humour already struggles as much as it does.
I don't take any joy in feeling this way. I really, really want to like Game Dogs (hence me giving it yet another chance), mainly because Russ Pitts made it who is the editor here, and so not liking it makes me feel like I'm being rude to him somehow, which isn't my intention at all. But it's just... really really average, like a sitcom you might see on a Saturday afternoon when they show all the bland family-friendly Disney studio ones that no-one except young kids is all that interested in. Except most of those are funnier than this. Anyway I apologise to all you Game Dogs fans because I wish you no ill will and I won't bore you again with another post here. I wish the series all the best but it's definitely not for me.

While yes she has a reason to hate Chet, he lied to her and as they say he should be in the doghouse (HAH!), she shouldn't use Roger like that... thats just spiteful and cruel towards an innocent.Snapette said:
