The dude's right arm (our left) looks wrong, as if it's broken.
His left arm (our right) is too close to him, his elbow needs to be moved away to make it look more like a fighting stance and less like he's rubbing his nipple.
A hair bounce (remember body's and hair don't bounce at the same time!) and a better tentacle animation would greatly improve it.
As for the blob guy, his left hand flicks up too much and also looks a bit too far back. Even armless characters (such as Rayman) have kinda invisible arms to keep everything looking right. His hat bounce also looks really forced at the moment.
Don't be put off, they're really not bad, and I believe you're skilled enough to get them looking really froody. For now I'd get the base sprite sorted out before trying to animate anything, as it could save you a lot of time.
