Spiderdub
A Web Original Redub of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon, as done by MW10T (short for Man With Ten Toes), recasting the already low-quality series with adult humor. Spiderdub is known for its surprisingly good production values and more or less re-cutting the original footage into a tangentially related storyline. Despite its source material, it's somewhat inappropriate for younger viewers.
Hm, looks like I'm fucked. |
The first episode can be seen here, and all following episodes have been uploaded to MW10T's second account, located here.
Tropes associated with Spiderdub:
- The Abridged Series
- Affectionate Parody: Arguably a bit more venomous than a basic affectionate parody, but MW10T is an admitted comic book fan and everything is done with a tongue-in-cheek style.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Peter Parker is a Casanova Wannabe with little regard for manners, J. Jonah Jameson is a stalker-esque corrupt executive, and Doc Octopus is a mentally ill Psychopathic Manchild. It only gets worse from here.
- Apocalypse How: Class X-4 at the end of Episode 11
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: More or less the entire point of the series.
- In episode 9, Doc Ock has Spider-Man trapped for a sleepover. Doc Ock turns on the television. Spider-Man's opening jingle begins to play.
- Comedic Sociopathy: Everyone.
- Deadpan Snarker: Ms. Branch.
- Peter Parker.
- "I am not too fond of dis character."
- His reaction to dying in #8? "Oh. Oh, I'm in hell."
- Peter Parker.
- Editing Works: Damn right it does.
- Evil Is Cool:
Pajama Pat: Aw man, I got all this money. But what am I gonna spend it on? I KNOW! A CAPE! A GLORIOUS CAPE! WITH MULTIPLE COLORS THAT GLOWS IN THE DARK! |
- First Installment Weirdness: Up until episode 5 or so, it was mostly non-sequitor comedy with hints of a plot. It started mixing story and humor more evenly afterwords.
- Gainax Ending: #15. Easily #15.
- Genre Savvy: "Police above me, police below me. Hm, looks like I'm fucked!"
- Ho Yay: Jameson with everyone.
- Just a Stupid Accent
- Kids Prefer Boxes: Or in this case, The Rhino.
- Lampshade Hanging
- Larynx Dissonance
- Nightmare Fuel: Spiderdub inexplicably produces bouts of this, specifically the introduction to episode 9 and "commercial breaks" in the later editions.
- #8.
- Parody Commercial: When not being horrifying.
- Refuge in Audacity
- Smash Cut
- Temporal Paradox: Happens in 11. No one notices the difference until #15, when Spiderman's time travel unravels the universe during the final showdown.
- Unexplained Recovery: Spiderman/Peter Parker has died around six times.
- At the end of #7, Ms. Branch's mutilated nigh-unidentifiable corpse is found dumped on the side of the road with the murder remaining unsolved. She's completely fine 30 seconds into #8.
- Updated Rerelease: Mike has taken to updating some of the Spiderdubs that don't really mesh as well with the newer ones.
- Wrong Genre Savvy
- Youtube Poop
