Dethroning Moment of Suck (Darth Wiki)/Web Original: Difference between revisions

{{Darth Wiki}}

Thanks to a lack of quality assurance, uploaders don't know what works and what doesn't until thousands, if not millions, of dissatisfied viewers [[Internet Backdraft|tell them otherwise]]. Unfortunately, by that time, the damage has already been dealt, and all those potential subscribers have turned away for good. [[Dethroning Moment of Suck|These are the scenes]] which creators wished a works-equivalent to [[GIFT]] would exist.

 

* No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.

* Explain ''why'' it's a [[Dethroning Moment of Suck]].

 

* ''[[Extra Credits]]''. When they had a falling out with The Escapist, ''Extra Credits'' did videos on a separate Youtube channel...and one of them was this piece of crap: [[Very Special Episode|the Games Addiction episode.]] In the first part of the episode, Daniel stated that "Games are not addictive, they're a compulsion." Then in the second part, James would go on for 20 minutes ranting about how gaming ruined a good part of his late teenage years as a high school student, and how he suffered from game addiction. Not only is this [[Broken Aesop|hypocritical,]] but any outside viewer would then see that video like an Alcoholics Anonymous confession if they were to see it. As well, he had the balls in order to tell his viewers to bitch about their problems on the half-baked fan forum made by a 15 year old. Wait, removing the social stigma behind gaming? What's that?

* [[Hellfire Comms]]'s Birth By Sleep playthrough was pretty enjoyable for the most part...except for Terra's playthrough. They made a lame joke about Terra (Stinky hand). I kept watching it, because I didn't think it would drag on, but guess what...they spent most of Terra's playthrough just making that Stinky hand joke. I never finished the whole thing. Shame, because that was the one I looked forward to the most.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'', Episode 31, more accurately known as [[Author Tract|Journey to the Centre of LittleKuriboh's Ego]]. The filler character is set up solely so he can deliver a [[Take That]] to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' raw purists. This might not have been so bad if it wasn't so blatantly [[Anvilicious]] due to his [[Possession Sue|possession]] of the character molding him into a [[Strawman Political|straw fanboy]]. Another minor character possession is a completely unnecessary and distracting [[Pokémon]] reference, and no, [[Lampshade Hanging]] crap does not make it any less stinky. Finally, the battle has not one, but two arbitrary, pointless, and irritating [[Take That]] uses, with his shot at the Caramelldansen being both [[Did Not Do the Research]] and [[Viewers are Morons]] (do you have to freaking spell out of the fact you hate it like we are flipping idiots?). At least there is no question where the show [[Jumped the Shark]] if the episode quality continues to stagnate.

** Could be worse. Exhibit A: "Penguin Ex Machina", showing [[Small Name, Big Ego|how highly he thinks of himself and that he flat-out refuses to listen to criticism because he thinks whatever he does is perfect as it is.]] First example of this is when Yami Yugi's opponent says "It's over, Yugi. Your little Kuriboh was fun for awhile but now he's worn out his welcome!" (reflecting criticisms people have made of his abridging as of late), to which Yami Yugi replies "This little Kuriboh has more power than all of 4Kids put together!" Then after the episode's ended, he has a scene with literall "trolls" bitching about everything "different" he's done as a [[Take That]] towards people who've felt that the series has [[Jumped the Shark]]. Maybe some complainers are immature douches but so far as I can see, the only one trolling anyone here is you, [[Little Kuriboh]].

** I personally saw the fart jokes as highlighting Naruto's stupidity, not taking a jab at the original Naruto Abridged. But on to my complaint... It's not a video related to the abridged series itself, but it is one LK recently made public again. The "If Anime Were Honest- Evangelion" video seems a bit... meaner than his other playful jab vids. He's made them against other series and people before, but this one just seemed very brutal. The other ones were at least a little funny and in good spirit, but this video was devoid of any "haha, it's a joke!" feeling. It's probably the first posting of his that I genuinely do not like at all. I know LK is a fan of the series and he's just doing what he usually does, but why so hateful? That's just not entertaining and it rubbed me the wrong way.

** An Ishtar Family Christmas was a pretty good special, but one scene really made me cringe. It was when the Three Wise Men, (Yami, Jaden, and Jack Atlas) were giving gifts to Baby Jesus. Yami's gift was a DVD called "The Best of [[Naruto the Abridged Series]]" with a text at the bottom of the screen reading "[[Take That|Blank Disc]]." I know Little Kuriboh has stated countless times that he doesn't hate Masako or Vegeta, but that seemed really mean-spirited. I've never minded that jabs at [[Naruto the Abridged Series]] before, but ever since that one, I'd cringe at the next jab. Thank god LK deleted Naruto The Abridged Movie in 5 seconds.

* I expect three things from ''[[EPICMEALTIME]]'': cooking with Jack Daniels, eating ludicrously large meals, and [[Bacon Addiction|bacon.]] Well, it's quite clear that these guys [[They Just Didn't Care|no longer give a damn]] about their show with the episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kOHWOisDfw Drunken Mess.] The crew truly showed arrogance with their growingly excessive advertisements and their put downs towards their own fans. Oh, and it didn't feature any sort of cooking or even any use of bacon. It ain't even about the bacon at this point"!? No, it ain't even about ''[[EPICMEALTIME]]'' on [[YouTube]] at this point.

* ''anachronauts'' arc 3, fs03. The female elf Nel was rescued by and fell in love with space-girl Una, [[Incompatible Orientation|who is straight]]. Okay, plenty of healthy relationships have grown out of a [[Rescue Romance]]. She doesn't tell her. Okay, that's reasonable. Nel [http://xkcd.com/513/ decides to devote her life to being Una's best friend]. [[Unfortunate Implications|Um, what?]] Nel never gets any significant characterization, background, or personality traits other than being in love with Una. [[Shallow Love Interest|Hmm]]. {{spoiler|Nel is tempted by a genie to kill one of the other Anachronauts in order to have Una. She refuses, saying that she'd rather have Una naturally. [[Genre Savvy|You go, girl]]. And then in fs03, Una gets her hands on the sense-recording earrings Nel has been wearing since the beginning of the arc, and is able to effectively be Nel as she talked to the Genie, including her declaration of love. She re-evaluates her interactions with Nel, and then instantly realizes she loves her. Please note that Una has been exclusively heterosexual up to this point, and realizing she likes girls in general and loves Nel in particular is portrayed as [[Suddenly Sexuality|basically flipping a switch]]. Oh, and the author pretty clearly [[Author Appeal|has a fetish for lesbians]], as it popped up in his earlier ''[[Sailor Nothing]]'', and in an aside in arc 2. Their friendship is written as exactly that; a friendship, with no romantic or sexual tension. Compared to the other romances in the series, which are written much more organically, it seems more like a [[Strangled by the Red String]] [[Romantic Plot Tumor]] than an actual romance. Nel and Una are given some "private time" at the end of that chapter, which would be ideal for showing their conversation before the inevitable sex and underlining the fact that they actually do have feelings for each other, except we never get to see it.}} Did I mention that there had been no other significant LGBT characters in the series up to that point? Yes, that's right, the only known homosexual is there for solely for the purpose of [[Fetish Fuel]]. It's kinda creepy, and I couldn't read the series after that.

* The scene from ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]'' where Bulma imagines Vegeta wants to rape her, which was basically a bizarre combination of [[Black Comedy Rape]], and according to [[Word of God]] (by way of twitter conversation), [[Ship Tease]]. There was no joke other than the fact that rape is hilarious, and the idea that anyone would have a dream of her future husband wanting to rape her isn't funny, it's just disturbing.

* I'm a fan of [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] and I can usually look past whenever he uses toilet humor and just enjoy his reviews. However, that was not the case for his review of various [[Star Wars]] games for different systems. Long story short, towards the end of the review, James begins talking about all the [[Star Wars]] games he didn't review (mostly because there's so many of them), and, for no reason whatsoever, a buffalo just takes a crap and breaks his window. I consider it to be the DMOS for the AVGN, because, well, it's pretty much the laziest writing I've seen from him. The joke makes no sense, there's no buildup to it, and it has nothing to do with the subject matter he's reviewing. It's like he just randomly threw in over-the-top toilet humor just for the sake of having over-the-top toilet humor. C'mon, James, you're better than this. You're [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]], not the "Random Jokes About Poop Nerd".

** For me, it was AVGN's review of [[Metal Gear]] on the NES. Now, I would be the first one to know that the NES Metal Geat was [[Porting Disaster]] compared to the MSX version. But the nerd seems to put it on pedestral while pointing out flaws who ''were'' in the MSX version (like using the correct card on the door and using the gas mask with the broken item select menu, respawning) and [[Did Not Do the Research]] about continues and the password system (like how they depends on what rank you are so you will respawn there). I know James really puts effort on his reviews, but on that one, he dropped the ball.

* Normally, I like [[Confused Matthew]] and enjoy his videos. Heck, I even liked his review of [[The Lion King]] and thought he made some valid points on why he didn't enjoy the film (And, I happen to like The Lion King). But, his review of [[Spirited Away]] is one big DMOS for me. Why, because it contains such blatantly [[Did Not Do the Research|poor research]] and an extremely obvious [[Bias Steamroller]] as well. First of all, Matthew, Anime is not a genre. It's A.) The Japanese word for "cartoon" (People in Japan consider all cartoons to be Anime), B.) A particular style of animation (Much like claymation, CGI animation, and whatnot), and C.) Any cartoon series drawn in said particular style that originated in Japan. Second, while some of his other points regarding his opinion on the film may have been valid, they're brought down in their validity due to his "I don't like Anime. This movie is an Anime. Therefore, this movie sucks".

** Having watched the above to see if it's as bad as claimed, I'll have to add her review of [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] as well. She makes several claims that make it clear she [[Did Not Do the Research]], yet apparently she did do enough research to casually mention several details which are spoilers. Her claim that Asuna is the only character with any development completely ignores several other characters who the anime developed as well, as well as saying that the first series has no plot ignores, y'know, every arc that the anime covered. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Plus, I just find her annoying.]]

* The last episode of [[There Will Be Brawl]]. Don't get me wrong, this troper absolutely loved every episode before it, and re-watches them on occasion. But them, after setting up this epic story about Ganondorf taking over the city, and all the things surrounding it, it finally comes down to Luigi and Ganondorf, for the final struggle....and then Kirby walks right the fuck out of nowhere and kills him, and completely hijacks the plot from a much better villain. And then reveals that two characters who only showed up for four seconds in one episode where the killers that started the plot. And that Kirby tricked Ganondorf into training them. And then almost all the main characters die, making nearly every single subplot totally pointless. At the end, Luigi pulls some suicide attack to kill Kirby, and it looks like he's finally dead. But, then, near the end of the episode, we find out that Kirby's still alive,Thereby making all the struggle, death, and pain completely pointless. This troper was hoping for some epic final battle where the villain dies, and they can all just rest easy. But no, I got this irritating [[Karma Houdini]].

** What really killed the final episode for me was the ridiculously poor special effects. The creators put so much effort into the effects for the whole rest of the show and it was amazing. Then episode 10 came out and it's like they weren't even trying. I'm not normally an effects guy and I can appreciate a show if it has poor effects...but such a nosedive in quality after 9 episodes of goodness just leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, especially since episode 10 was supposed to be the [[Grand Finale]].

* I used to have high regards for xRazorFistx's, a.k.a. The Rageaholic's, reviews, however, his latest review, a retrospective of the [[Star Fox (series)|Star FOX]] series let a bad taste in my mouth. About three-quarters into the review, he basically seems to drop everything to rage on about how all "furverts" are animal rapists, [[Sarcasm Mode|because that joke isn't old]], and how they are all scum of the earth. Not only is the whole thing awkward to sit through, like one of your grandfather's racist rambling, [[Jumping the Shark|it was completely unneeded, came out of nowhere, and had nothing funny to say.]]

* Words alone cannot describe how disgusted I was with Armake21’s Alone In The Dark review. Look, I don’t mind that he liked the game. I don’t mind that he felt it didn’t get the attention it deserved. It was his verbal lashing at the people who criticized the game that pissed me off. I know he tends to do this in his other videos, but this is the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Marcus spends most, if not all, of the review complaining about what professional critics or other gamers said about AITD, calling them “[insert name of review site here]’s ‘sheep’”, using generic insults, or just playing the “biased” card on them. Not only does he paint detractors of the game in a crass way, what he does is just unprofessional and it makes him sound like an ass.

** Their 'Science Vs Marvel' article. I've been annoyed at articles before (I conteplated using Terrible Superhusbands article due to its massive levels of taking OOC moments at face value and [[Never Live It Down|blaming the characters for it as if they're always like it]]), but this article was just plain aweful. Yes, super hero origins are a little silly and don't hold up well in real life, but the ammount of [[Did Not Do the Research]] that the writer used makes them look like they just hated Stan Lee and/or [[Marvel Comics]]. Being bitten by a radioactive spider = super powers is obviously silly, but the spider bite causing radiation poisoning? Because the spider's venom would become radioactive and as such be inside him? Ok, that's a little cynical. Mr Fantastic not being allowed to use his own home made rocket or take his untrained family with him into space does have a point. The use of Evolution as an explanation for super powers is a little flimsy, except that later writers would introduce the concept of an 'X Gene' which causes random super powers, which the writer just ignores. The Hulk explanation of being hit by a gamma bomb is stupid, but the 'second problem' suggested was just not thinking straight. Because, as you know, [[Sarcasm Mode|the US regularly test bombs near their own civilization, and as such every city 'for miles' would be effected by Gamma bomb energy]]. Those got more and more cynical, but the absolute worst is Punisher. For one, it has [[Artifact Title|nothing to do with science]]. Secondly, the 'reason' it wouldn't work is because the police would stop him the second he went out to kill someone. Because, [[Sarcasm Mode|everyone knows the police have a near spotless record for catching murderers.]] This got even more glaring if you actually read anything about his relationship with the police (In that, they all feel sorry for him and turn the other way). This all makes it look incredibly hate filled, especially when you realize that they specifically target Marvel and only Marvel, when DC and Darkhorse Comics are just as bad at origins. Again, there's been plenty of articles that have pissed me off, but this one article shows that the writers will not bother to check their facts when they decide to write that it calls any article into question.

** ''6 Reasons North Korea is the Funniest Evil Dictatorship Ever''. One would think it to be a funny parody of the USA-DPRK relationship, but no. All we have is the most annoying distillation of [[Eagle Land]] smugness and [[Dirty Communist]]-like tropes played painfully straight, all with cheap imperialistic propaganda and, to top that, thinly veiled insults [[Kick the Dog|toward an organization that]] ''[[Kick the Dog|wishes for peace between the two Koreas]]''.

** An entirely different one, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibaPEq9qCKg poor quality Star Fox 64 vid]. Proteus starts bragging about how he's willing to pick on the player even though they're very young. The quality of their LP is bad, but it's still a bit harsh. [[Slowbeef]] even considers that vid an [[Old Shame]] of sorts.

** The incredibly blurry video of somebody playing ''[[Metal Slug]]'' where, with a lack of anything funny to say about it (as it's impossible to tell what's going on), the guys start cracking jokes about the LPer (who sounds about 12) and her brother being incestually involved. Of all the jokes to pull out of nowhere, why that?

* We have Nyan Cat as fanart, crossovers (With such series at [[Mario Kart]], [[Robot Unicorn Attack]], and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]), shirts and such. However, when you start to crossover something with [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=250305521674671&set=a.192924910746066.42399.132945776743980&type=1&theater 9/11], then you know there's something wrong. (View at your own risk)

* The Blockbuster Buster's review of ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'' is pretty bad in and of itself (It's pretty much just him comparing scenes to the film to scenes from ''[[Stargate]]''). But, that's not the DMOS. No, the DMOS is that throughout the "review", he does some of the most insulting and downright unfunny "impressions" (in the loosest sense of the word possible) of other internet reviewers. Some of his "jokes/impressions" include "Everything [[The Cinema Snob]] watches is porn!" and "[[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony's]] all about inside-jokes from older videos!" and "Let's make fun of [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara's]] accent and how he pronounces "room"!". Why does he dow all these bad impressions? Because he couldn't get anyone to cameo in his video. This only elevates his impressions from being bland and unfunny to downright rude and it makes him sound butthurt as a result. Hey, Blockbuster Buster? If you want a popular internet critic to guest-star in your video, here's some advice: Don't make fun of them, especially not in the way you did.

* When [[Deceased Crab]] basically told a commenter on one of his videos to choke himself to death. What was the commenters crime? [[Disproportionate Retribution|Mentioning a show DC didn't like.]] Up until I saw that comment, I was perfectly fine with the guy, even knowing all the [[Grammar Nazi]] crap he pulled, but after that I swore off his videos and only check his channel every few months to see if he's been banned yet. Honestly, [[Small Name, Big Ego]] doesn't even begin to cover him after that incident.

* Two incidents that soured me on the [[Whateley Universe]]; one incident where the rape of a villain was/could be seen by the protagonists and readers as 'just desserts', and the flat-out rape and forceful mutation by a story character. Rape can be a hard topic to cover, but in these instances it completely wrecked whatever enjoyment I took from the stories.

* The recent [[Newgrounds]] flash [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/581237 R.I.P. Steve Jobs]. Here, an angered Saint Peter tries to work his "[[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|Mac]]" in search of porn, but it crashes. Then Steve Jobs arrives, and [[Dude, Not Funny|sends him to hell]]. What's even worse is that [[Troll|the creator]] was willing to [[Dear Negative Reader|insult anyone who was offended.]] I can barely even look Newgrounds in the face again.

** Furthermore, the jackass who made that also made a video condemning the [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/592595 KONY 2012 Movement]. The information [[Critical Research Failure|claims that Joseph Kony hasn't been a problem in Africa for years]], and that nobody involved in taking part in this movement is actually doing anything to help the kids at risk of becoming [[Child Soldiers]]. You know, because nobody involved in spreading the word about this war criminal is going to bother doing something else to support the movement. The stupidest part comes at the end, where he lazily likens the head of the Invisible Children company to [[Adolf Hitler]]/[[Satan]], all while calling anyone who supports the movement stupid. One wonders how garbage like this makes the front page.

* [[College Humor]] really did it with Sh*t Flix when they put "Anime with nothing remotely sexual." Not only does this imply that the writers think [[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles|anime is only good if it's hentai]], but putting [[Dragon Ball]] and [[Inuyasha]] is a complete [[Critical Research Failure]] since they both have [[Fan Service]] in them.

** It may just be my personal opinion, but I either bust out laughing or didn't bat an eye at everything on this page. I never thought I'd find myself actually writing anything here... until "My Little Brony: Friendship Is Tragic", whose message is "Bronies are fat idiots, passing their life playing with ponies and masturbating themselves with a fleshlight while watching the cartoon". It is just a giant middle finger pointed to every brony. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|They also]] [[They Just Didn't Care|show Friendship is Magic with the G1 theme song, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as earth ponies and everypony is a blank flank]].

*** What bothered me about the video was the [[Shallow Parody|utter lack of effort put into the "parody."]] There are plenty aspects of the fandom worth making fun of, but instead they [[Did Not Do the Research|just threw in every "lonely nerd" stereotype they could think of and slapped some ponies on it]]. With the exception of a few lines (which basically boil down to "[[There Are No Girls on the Internet|grown men]] [[Double Standard|shouldn't like things aimed at girls!"]]), you could replace ''My Little Pony'' with just about any other fandom.

** I gave up on them after watching "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Use Their Weapons." After a flimsy setup involving witty banter, Raphael stabs Shredder to death. The team realize how effective this is, hunt down several of the villains and brutally murder them. The sketch ends with all four of of them sentenced to death by lethal injection last-minute. First of all, this kind of humor is exactly what put me off everything [[Family Guy|done by a]] [[Robot Chicken|Seth who isn't]] [[Anal Cunt|Putnam,]] and second of all, with a name like "College Humor," you think they'd show more respect towards the stuff college students grew up with.

* Smosh in my opinion has been decreasing in quality for some time, only now and then releasing a good video. However, their REAL DEATH NOTE really took the cake for wasting so many opportunities at good jokes and Death Note references. Its as if they read the concept of Death Note in some magazine and ran with it. There are absolutely no references to L, the Task force or to the Shinigami; the scene with Ian writing down the names of criminals could have been so much funnier if they inserted omnious latin chanting, maniacal laughter and a potato chip reference they would have made both Death Note fans and non-fans laugh, the former with the references, the latter with the melodrama and the over the top nature of the film. They don't. Instead, they just use it as a set up for some lame jokes about killing robbers, serial killers and the cast of the Jersey Shore, a joke they used many, many times. The lowest of the low is the ending, which is a caption saying 'Books are dangerous. Play video games instead.' It is such lazy writing and such a lame joke. I'm surprised they didn't make any adult jokes in this video which they had been indulging too much in lately.

* Normally, I find ''[[How It Should Have Ended]]'' to be a pretty funny and creative web series. But, man alive, their [[Jurassic Park]] HISHE is just horrible. The "Dino poops graphically on the characters" and "Hey, let's add a pointless [[Snakes on a Plane]]" joke were bad enough. But, the worst was the [[Overly Long Gag|way too long]] and not-funny-at-all "Smart Velociraptor" joke which basically boiled down to "Hey, the raptors can talk now and use guns!". That's the whole joke. The raptors start talking like gangstas and are able to use guns. It's like something out of a poorly-written [[Family Guy]] episode. No, I take it back. It's like someting out of a cheap imitation of a poorly-written [[Family Guy]] episode.

** Words can barely describe how rude the HISHE for Toy Story 3 was. The ending for Toy Story 3 was an excellent combination of a tear jerker and a heartwarming moment about Andy giving his toys to Bonnie. Here, it paints him as neurotic, selfish manchild when he takes the toys away from her and drives off. That's just insulting to both the movie and its fans.

* Normally, I like [[Your Favorite Martian]]'s videos, but "We Like Them Girls" was an utter disappointment, and the series' nadir. Basically, it's a generic rap song set to Legos. And that's it. They don't try to make the lyrics suited to Legos, even though they did the same with "Puppet Break Up", with well-done (if not [[Cluster F-Bomb|potty mouthed]]) results. [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|Way to waste a good idea, guys]].

* [[Tropers/Picklelips|Picklelips]]: In [http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=muppet this] article, [[The Best Page in The Universe|Maddox]] lambasts the supposed introduction an HIV-positive character into ''[[Sesame Street]]'' in what amounts to a caustic but essentially [[Think of the Children]] style rant about unnecessarily exposing kids to life's hardships. In a textbook case of [[Did Not Do the Research]], it turned out that the character in question, [[wikipedia:Kami (Takalani Sesame character)|Kami]], was being introduced only to the South African version of the show, where stigma against HIV-postitive children is a much more immediate social issue. [[Refuge in Audacity]] be damned; this was a clear case where Maddox was very, very wrong and whatismore a bizarro instance of him becoming a part of the shrill [[Moral Guardian]] culture he disdains. Emails from his readers meant he eventually acknowledged the reality of the situation, but with a lame qualification that show producers hadn't ruled out introducing the character to the US series.

** It should be noted that even Encyclopedia Dramatica [[Even Evil Has Standards|was extremely disgusted.]]

** Ain't I glad I jumped ship early! As in when he decided to close "Hate Week" (a seven-part series in which he gave his views on various concepts and viewpoints) with "A Feminist." And it's by far the longest video in the series. That's right, Terry couldn't come up with a whole seven days of material, so he brought back the old chestnut "let's be condescending to someone of rivaling ideology." And the sad part is, the six videos that led up to it were all very good works.

* Jack DeVries, an editor on IGN wrote an article titled "Kingdom Hearts Sucks (But It Doesn't Have To)". It's basically a rant against the series, saying things that are wrong, but never really evaluating on them. There is a blatant example of [[Did Not Do the Research]], claiming that there were cameos by Orlando Bloom. Yes, cameos, plural, even though it was all [[Crispin Freeman]]. But [[It Gets Worse]], as he openly admitted on Twitter that he only wrote the article [[Troll|"to make nerds mad."]] Admittedly, many people agreed with the article, but that doesn't change the fact that the article is mostly just unprofessional criticism for the sake of being a jerk.

* Normally, I enjoy the [[Spill]] crew and their film reviews. Well, I decided to check out a spin-off series they had called "Happy Hour", which is basically an LP series. Fair enough. But, the DMOS came in when one of the commenters stated that ''[[Mario Party]] 9'' was (paraphrased) "One of those games where you just have to push a button that you play while wearing a helmet that your mom makes you wear all the time so you don't get hurt". Let that sink in a moment. They were pretty much implying that [[Fan Hater|only mentally challenged people enjoy MarioParty games.]] Not only is this an insult to people in general who like/play the Mario Party games ([[The Runaway Guys]], anyone?), but it's also an insult to people of various mental disability as well.

** Brokenshell44: I've been a fan of Spill since 07, and I really wasn't interested in their gaming podcasts, but I listened to them for a while because [[The Bus Came Back|it was nice to have Jason back on a Podcast.]] But the point I gave up on them reviewing games wholesale was the review of the 3DS re-release of [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina.]] Their arguments for why it wasn't that good were that it was as simplistic as an arcade game and [[Did Not Do the Research|was a platformer]]. I can forgive them for having a different opinion of the game, but you have to try to [[They Just Didn't Care|not care]] when you can't even correctly describe what genre a game is.

* In one installment of [[Video Games Awesome]], during a playthrough of ''Uncharted 3'', Fraser tried and failed several times to pass an area stealthily. Ben then gave it a shot and made it almost all the way through before getting spotted, and even got an "Expert Ninja" trophy for it. Fraser was so mad that Ben did better than he did that he took back the controller and restarted from an earlier checkpoint, undoing all the progress that Ben made. It was a real dick move that would have been bad on its own, but Fraser tried to justify it by claiming that Ben was "wasting time" by moving slowly and carefully, taking out as many enemies as he could. However, Fraser then ended up wasting even more time getting caught up in a long and decidedly un-stealthy firefight. Usually Fraser is funny when he's pissed off, but in this case he just came off as very childish.

* kensu: There used to be a humor site called Not My Desk back in the early years of the 2000s, which was a temp workers blog about how much being a temp sucked. Most of the traffic was directed from sites like spinnwebbe and zompist whose readers are, to put it mildly, left-leaning. So you can imagine the train-wreck that occurred when Not My Desk's author posted a vitriolic creationist rant.
