Wet Cement Commentary/Discussion with Chuck Jones Animator

 is a commentary on the Looney Tunes Cartoons (HBO Max) episode "Wet Cement", made by Trevor Thompson (a.k.a. Ferris Wheelhouse) and featuring Greg Duffell, an animator who once worked with Chuck Jones. The video was criticized by critics and audiences for the reasons below.

Why It's Wretched

 * 1) Hypocrisy:
 * 2) *He says comparing the new HBO Max Looney Tunes shorts to the originals is like comparing apples to oranges, but throughout the video, he goes out of his way to do just that.
 * 3) *He tells the people working on the short to not take his commentary seriously, but then insults the animators by dissing digital animation.
 * 4) He acts very pretentiously throughout and acts like he's the guardian of the Looney Tunes franchise, which he's far from being.
 * 5) The bit where he criticizes Porky's animation isn't actually criticism, it's more like nitpicking.
 * 6) There is nothing optimistic in the video.
 * 7) He expects the new directors to be perfect right off the bat, which is unfair considering that the earliest Looney Tunes shorts weren't as good as the later ones; it takes time to perfect your craft.
 * 8) He judges the entire show based off of the first three shorts ("Dynamite Dance", "Wet Cement", and "Pest Coaster") alone, which is also unfair and is like judging the Chuck Jones-directed shorts based on his pre-1943 efforts, many of which were not well-received.

Reception
It was heavily panned by critics and audiences, and has more dislikes than likes.
