It Will Never Catch On/Fan Works

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of It Will Never Catch On in Fan Works include:

  • Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series has a reference to Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, having Tristan say that "In the future, card games will be played on motorbikes." when asked why he's riding one. Yugi comments that it had to be the dumbest thing he's ever said and scoffs at the idea. Then it cuts to a picture of the promotional poster to drive the point home.
    • It became Hilarious in Hindsight when, during the debut panel for the 5Ds dub, the voice of Yusei was revealed to be Frank Frankson (Tristan's VA from episode 11 on).
  • From I Won't Say It, during a staff meeting in the Underworld:

Possibly the only interesting item had been a job request from a set of personifications in the east. It hadn't exactly been easy, but they had been told to come back when they could come up with a better name.
 In his [Hades'] opinion, a name like "the Seven Deadly Sins" was never gonna sell.

It appeared to be a simplified version of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, only with a scantily-clad female as the hero.
"By the way, I’m trying to come up with a name for the game. How do you like 'Grave Robber'?"
