^^

also it says "an story from freekC" isnt it "A story from FreekC"

Other than that the rest of the flash looks pretty nice so far. I like the variety in detail of the backgrounds.

Darken your colors a little since the first few shots are set during night. People tend to have there lights off at night while in front of a screen at night time.

Unless the lights are on than show the light bulb in some kind of subtle way.

Your animation also appears to be intended to be cartoony but it is not exaggerated anyway.

Make your drawings funnier and try to include as much frame by frame as possible.

when his face hits the glass
it looks really static

have like 1 or 2 frames where his cheeks squish out and then in or something real quick
so it looks like he's rammed into something and not just APPEARED in front of it

if you catch my drift

i agree with zeke

you could add a few more in betweens and sort of ease him in. think what happens when you set a tween's easing to -100. thats what the motion should look like, only in FBF. then once he's up near the glass you could start from a normal looking pose and in 5 or 6 frames exaggerate the squashing against the glass. then on the last drawing just leave him squashed, he doesnt need to spring back in. would look perfect.

the background is nice and detailed but you could try some sort of perspective... unless you're going for the flattened look in which case looks great
