I tend to stick to the first page animations and games these days but several years ago I devoured this place nearly everyday. I saw a lot of bad things on there as a child, even though I stayed away from anything labeled "mature" or "adult" (they have a rating system but not everyone uses it correctly).

Still, if you're bored and looking for entertainment, there's years of free animations, games, music, and art to brighten your day with. A lot of the stuff is aimed at a more geeky audience but there's something for everyone if you're willing to look for it.

Newgrounds is the best website ever. That's all there is to it. I think I need to fill this up now. I like Newgrounds.It's fun and cool. They have games/movies/audio/art. You can upload your own stuff. Amazing

Nothing really to say. This is the original site for flash animation and games. There's so much of an underculture to it and influential series that you wouldn't believe. It's declined in recent days though.

I just love this website for everyone. I like watching the cartoon movies people make and I love the music. It also has a lot of fun free games to play. You can add games, movies or music and other people rate them, which is fun. Newgrounds also has a very good forum

Good site
July 1, 2015

This is the best flash video site. While I would give this site 4 stars instead of 5 is because they allow adult content. Other than that it's great. That's about it.

The rating system needs to be overhauled. There is a huge culture of "zero bombing" whereby users systematically and anonymously vote 0 on projects in order to drastically reduce the projects' scores, perhaps partly to get their own projects higher up on ranking lists. Therefore, most projects go by unseen, with ratings that do not reflect merit, and users whose projects are zero bombed may be inclined to do the same to counteract, resulting in a vicious cycle. This is an issue not only for artists but also perusers, who due to this will not get to experience many high-quality projects. The issue is especially prevalent in the audio section, but is also a problem in other areas. The community at large has complained about this issue for many, many years and offered many suggestions to fix this, including fraudulent vote detection, which a site like this should have but strangely Newgrounds seems to lack, at least to any effective capacity. Until Newgrounds can overhaul their primitive and backwards voting system they get a "one bomb" from me (no zero available here unfortunately), and unlike the aforementioned ratings on Newgrounds, this score is intended to be accurate.

A great gathering of any flash content - movies, games, slides etc. Accessible from everywhere - so this can also be a great timekiller while waiting for something =)

Like another reviewer said, this site is all about its own motto "Everything, by Everyone." This site brings together a lot of flash movies, games, and even self created music. A lot of these works end up being collaborations by many of the community, and seeing ones with some of the "well-known" users, you know you are in for a treat.

Be careful around the site however, this community has its share of trolls, bullies, etc. There is also a porn section, however they don't wholly promote it on the front page, and have an 18+ warning to ensure that youngin's try to stay away from that area.

Many laughs will be given on this site, and many s#! Ts will NOT be given from the site.

This is a very good website I visit daily. It has everything you need to keep you entertained for the whole day. The website has user-submitted flash videos and games, with a commenting and rating system that is very effective, and also adding to your favorite flash videos/games etc. The website also has a audio submission system, with many great sound files being submitted to newgrounds every day, and all of them able to be downloaded so you can listen to it on your computer without the internet. The site also comes with a entertaining forum, also some parts of it will be for mature audiences only.

A very good site that I highly recommend for web-browsing people.

(Please note, My reviews are completely opinion-based. In other words, just from MY experience from the respective website.)

I love a lot of the animations on newgrounds, there are many talented users on there. It's over all a pretty good place for flash games, flash animations, music, and much more. Tom Fulp did a pretty good job. 5/5

If you enjoy carbon copy clones, sign up! Everyone emulates one another, argues with one another, and ignores one another. Then they claim to be a 'community'

Truly laughable.

I've spent a lot of time on this website when I was a teenager. It was really great then and it still is now. Always full of an endless supply of funny games and videos.

I liked the site at first, with all of its lovable games and animations, and humorous staff. But then I saw its dark side: Trolls, Perverts, Racists, and WAY too much porn. The games and cartoons make it look good, but the bullies and adultery will make you click the close button.

Site has more interesting unique user made games, music and movies than you could ever absorb. Lots of great quality stuff, makes the stuff people try to charge you for look like complete garbage.

Reccomended to any animaters - this is an amazing flash portal where you can view and share yours and other people work
It is based around flash, which is used to make:

Flash games
Flash animations
And many more
It keeps me entertained for hours and is completly free.

Have a look and tell me what you think
Its defiantly the biggest open source flash portal

This site stands by its motto "everything. By everyone." Very creative and clever-- Politics, Arts, and Programming are a few examples of what this site offers.
