I can only imagine how much worse it would be if he attacked the anime community.

It'd probably be just as bad.

I'd say worse. Especially with 4chan still active.

Even with 4chan I think the result would be the same. :\

I dunno, most older or halfway mature anime fans are probably too self-deprecating to cause major uproar.

Though admittedly I didn't actually watch the above video because what I saw of the original parody looked like The Onion's one Warcraft article from years ago. Nothing new.

I think I'll give this one a chance. I'll have to admit the humor was good for a start.

My brother said the second one is funnier, you can see it on Team Four Star's web site.

I'm not really impressed-the jokes seem kind forced, I'll give the second one a chance later and see if they improve their humor at all. Right now it seems like a dud though.

I'll wait until episode 5 until I call it.  Doesn't help that I'm not really a fan of 7 and think Sephiroth is one of the worst FF villians ever.

These two antagonists of Final Fantasy 14 are FAAAAR more interesting than Sephiroth, and both are politicians and Lalafels to boot who are about as intimidating as a hobbit--let that sink in.   8D

I'll take power hungry Politicians over pretty boys with mama issues any day!

In terms of the Main Series I say Golbez, Exdeath, Kefka and Kuja are some of the best for varying reasons.   One of the reasons I want a remake of 6, not only for an expanded script, but is to see if they give Kefka some more screen time.

Kefka might not have been a deep villain but my lord was he fun to watch chew the scenery. Sometimes being memorable is enough right?

Exactly I want more of that in the World of Ruin than him just sitting on his throne of trash.  I mean I know that the World of Ruin is supposed to be more about finding your friends and all but I wish we had more Kefka even though it would be impossible.

That scene with Charlotte was downright depressing. This show is barely a comedy now.

Like someone pointed out, whenever they do actually use f-bombs, it's for dramatic scenes. Because of that, there is more impact.

Unlike other adult comedies, where they swear all the time, just because they can.

Wow, Jimmy was pretty disrespectful towards Markiplier. I know he's a "comedian", but some comments towards Mark went too far.

You can easily tell he holds resentment towards the gaming community, even though these two have not wronged him in any way.

oh okay good
bojack nooo

In the trouping business, we call that a "Precision F-Strike". But on a more serious note, I need to start watching Bojack Horseman along with Arrow on Netflix.

Good thing I never watch his show. 8D

That would be for the best.

Conan is 100x better, charismatic and has natural wit.

My brother and I were literally at the edge of our seats when Charlotte slowly walked towards his bedroom door. I have no idea how he can possibly redeem himself now.

What is with you and Robotnik

The point is that he doesn't. It's like his mother said in that one episode that he's doomed to having a shitty existence.
The point is that he has to try his best to make his life a little bit better. That was the running metaphor at the end of the season. Clinging to the past like he has the past two seasons has been toxic and this was the culmination of all that.

That's a very good assessment.

Even if, by some miracle, his life miraculously turns around for the better, I don't think I'd truly root for him. So I guess kudos to the creators for making a total dick protagonist.

Mr. Peanut Butter, surprisingly, ended up being one of my favorites. I hated him in the beginning, but he grew on me. I like Todd, as well, and I'm not just saying that because he's Aaron Paul.

... Though, Aaron Paul is the reason I started this in the first place. Will Arnett was my second reason.
