[How TF2 Nurtured its Community - LOVEWEB]

To be honest, at the moment I'm dealing with grief of being a fan of something which DID just see me as easy cash and/or a fan to leech labor off of. While it might not be 100% healthy, watching this HAS helped me come to terms with it. I'm also glad that while Manon was told this point blank, it was never described as "HER fault for being a fan."

I've never played TF2 but otherwise, I DO think this video is a good way to balance "being a fan" with "criticizing what you love", especially when it's a slimy as shit company at the front of it.

[The ONE Place not Corrupted by Capitalism]

I'll give you credit - when I first saw Tim Curry say those beautiful words, I immediately thought how suited it was to a cartoon. So...well played.

[the Quest of Ms. Pac-Man]

In my view, as a Pac-Man fan, this is how to add personality and character to the game sprites. Silent protagonists with a simple and clear to read design and body language. I also liked the friendship between Ms Pacman and Clyde and how well that blossomed.

I also liked some of the new mechanics. I remember playing Pacman:CE as a kid and being floored at how well they reinvented Pacman for the then modern era (hello 19 year old game! Still my favourite in the series though) and this all felt PERFECTLY in keeping with that idea.

Great stuff.

[Gordon Ramsay BAFFLED by Restaurant AMATEURS]

Outright saying it - I work in a restaurant. If Ramsay showed up at my house to "Kitchen Nightmares" it, I think I'd probably slit his throat.

[The Curse of Dracular]

To be honest...the actual films Hammer were making in 1974 that were Dracula related were getting ridiculous (unless you think then modern counter culture, espionage and a Kung Fu film can be forced into a Dracula movie seamlessly). So...well played this person's father's kid fanfiction. You did better than the movies.

Jokes aside, I actually quite liked this. It reminds me of Axe Cop and other such "professional makes art from a kid's ideas" media in that it has fun but manages to be faithful enough that it's simultaneously funny AND respectful.

[Babs Bunny: Expect the Unexpected]

To be honest, I didn't really know what to think (I'm not opposed to Looney Tunes cannibalism but the "Saturn devouring his sons" approach DID take me back a bit) - however, the parody of the "That's All Folks!" through the oesophagus made me legitimately laugh out loud.

[Salad Fingers 20th Anniversary Special]

TAP

[Twomplr]

This might be a parody but I prefer the name "Twomplr" over "X."

BroatsShorts responds:

I agree

[HOMESTEAD (Student Film)]

Honestly, I love animation like this. I look forward to seeing what else you make.

[The Ultimate Showdown Collab]

Extra points for including a moment where a Tankman kills the YouTube logo.

This is also a fucking great tribute. The glee I felt at seeing some of the pop culture references updated to a new generation was just...perfection.
