[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAnnotatXperiment The Annotated Series] is a [[YouTube]] series that lampoons TV shows and [[Public Service Announcement|public service announcements]], such as ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]: The Animated Series'', ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3]]'' and ''[[Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N the Game Master]]'' via [[YouTube]]'s annotation feature.

On October ~~3rd~~ 2009, CurtDogg uploaded an episode of [[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]: The Animated Series and included a link to the video's annotation editor, a feature [[YouTube]] used to have, in the style of the channel [http://www.youtube.com/user/UnoriginalContent UnoriginalContent] which had been going for a few months by this time. It caught on and The Annotated Series was born. Under the name [http://www.youtube.com/user/beeupyou beeupyou] he continued to upload the rest of the series then moved onto other video game-related cartoons. However, [[YouTube]] eventually discontinued the feature, forcing the move to the shared channel, [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAnnotatXperiment TheAnnotatXperiment].

The Annotated Series is presented in a regular episodic format, usually in the original order of the series in question, with a break in the middle of each season. Each season break, and the end of each season or series, will be marked by an intermission in which they'll [[Something Completely Different|annotate something completely unrelated]], usually of similar poor quality to the regular series.

* [[Dingo Pictures|Mouse Police]]

* [[Beauty and Warrior]] (Yes, [[Brick Joke|really.]])

* Annotated Fan Fiction (Practice)- Has basically become a roast for Irrelevant where people get to deliever sweet pay back to him. (Not that he's not okay with that.) <ref> Irrelevant402 testing the waters for a pet project where he wants to write a fan fiction, claiming to be a [[Crisis Crossover]] and then having it read over by Microsoft Sam. This is merely him reading the first two pages before deciding on the Sam approach. Claims he wants it for an early/late anniversary gift/a valentine towards the experiment in general</ref>

* [[Super Mario Brothers|Super Mario Bros at the Ice Capades]]

* Dr. D's Crossing the Bridge Of Adolescence

Line 61:

* [[Angrish]]: In the early days when anybody could contribute, any moment of particularly horrible quality would result in the screen being filled with derogative remarks. One would usually need to pause the video in order to see them all.

* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: [[Lampshaded]]. A kid known only as Junior is transported to the Mushroom Kingdom by accident and remarks on how he's instantly, effortlessly come to terms with his situation.

* [[Apocalypse How]]: Kevin's<ref> yes Kid Icarus helped but he might have been shooting a net arrow so what was the point of zapping a football.</ref> destruction of a Football world, interpreted as a class 5, got a lot of comments. And later he was called out for worrying about Faxandu being destroyed by The Evil One but showing no compassion for Football World.

{{quote|'''Annotators''': Wow only Kevin could manage to turn a game of football into an apcolyptic situation like this./And so the N-Team completely obliterated the grassy world of American Football...World./ Our heroes just killed millions of football players! Even as a nerd I am disgusted!/Kevin, you just quite possibly made the 9/11 of Video Land. And you're going to pop jokes?}}

* [[ASCII Art]]: Extremely common in the early days before [[YouTube]] began to [[Screwed by the Network|keep arbitrarily changing the annotation editor]] and breaking them.

Line 73:

* [[Berserk Button]]: The slightest allusion, be it accidental or not, to any would-be scrappy character from another series causes at least one person to speak of ways to murder them.

** Each annotator has something that sets them off. Everyone being in on the plan except for Megaman in the Captain N season 1 finale pissed off a lot of people. Irrelevant gets really pissed when two people are supposed to be good friends and it is strictly told and not shown in episode 5 of the Mortal Kombat cartoon.

* [[~~BLAM~~ Episode]]: Many of the intermissions come and go.

* [[Non Sequitur Episode]]: Many of the intermissions come and go.

* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Particularly cheesy ones would be repeated. These tend to become a [[Never Live It Down]] moment.
