Bad workers always blame their tools
"If somebody does a job badly or loses in a game and claims that they were let down by their equipment, you can use this to imply that this was not the case".

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-12-22

Bad workers always blame their tools. This idiom is shown perfectly in bwabtt by `bad-blood through humorous actions and smooth animation. ( Suggested by ~Sinister-Starfeesh and Featured by `CookiemagiK )

Wow I love the flow on the animation, the expressions, and even the "O Rly? Ya Rly" thing XDD

~Ratchet-lombris Dec 22, 2009

Love this! I thought he struck oil at first

~Blue-Demon-Hybrid Dec 22, 2009

XD hilarious.

~Natureboy3 Dec 22, 2009

I like it! Nice job!

~CDSH Dec 22, 2009 Student General Artist

Haha! Cute, and true. People do blame objects or other people when it's really their fault. But your animation's just too cute. xD

~IcedTeaa Dec 22, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Haha, smooth and awesome emoticoning

hilarious animation. Sometimes the equipment is the reason why a job cannot be done. The right tool for the right job. But also the right person for the right job is more important. After all, it is the person who uses the tool. A friend of mine used to say that he couldn't play soccer very well 'cos of the soccer ball, his shoes or... the terrain? I loved the animation
