History DethroningMoment / VGCats

* Tropers/Kablammin45: Taking back my previous entry for a different comic that, while not making me uncomfortable like my previous entry, just left me annoyed. This different comic would be: [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=382 My Strange Addiction]], a comic about the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. For one thing, Scott treats the Switch as a solely portable console with no mention of the console side of the Switch in sight, which either reeks of him not doing the research or intentionally ignoring it to further his arguments. Scott comparing the Switch to the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita really doesn't make any sense (any similarities are superficial, at best), nor does him saying (in layman's terms): "But don't we have the [[UsefulNote/Nintendo3DS 3DS]]? Why are you making a new portable console?" (As mentioned before, the Switch is a ''hybrid console'' that Nintendo doesn't plan on replacing the 3DS with at this time anyway.) Finally, there's how he portrays the guy who owns a Switch console in the comic. Granted, I can understand the FridgeLogic in taking the Switch to a basketball game to play [[VideoGame/NBA2K a basketball game]] on it, but the rest of the comic shows the guy as some obnoxious idiotic {{Jerkass}} who can't go anywhere without shoving the Switch in someone's face (including having the guy creepily stalking a woman who also has the console) and disrupting a party just to play it in front of the people there. Maybe I'm looking too far into this part, but it kinda makes you wonder if this is how Scott sees Creator/{{Nintendo}} fans. Between the rather fallacious sounding arguments and the fact that the behavior of the guy can be construed as a TakeThat at Nintendo fans, this comic just comes off as a big and unfunny mess.

* Tropers/CerotechOmega: [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=364 Strip #362.]] ''VideoGame/Splatoon1'' strips are in vogue, so this webcomic was bound to get one sooner or later, but Cap'n Cuttlefish with a roll of toilet paper after a "miscolored ink" joke? We're talking [[PottyFailure three]] ([[TheDiaperChange maybe four]] [[ScatterbrainedSenior or five]]) [[UrineTrouble offensive]] [[ADateWithRosiePalms possibilities]] for the price of one! Scott Ramsoomair, are you even trying?!

* Tropers/{{Chilliwack}}: [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=365 Strip #363]]. Leo was supposed to paint the whole place blue, but he wasted time painting the walls. And so in a last ditch effort to create a "blue" atmosphere, he shouts out "Iwata's Dead!"... Get it? It's funny because someone died. This was in extremely bad taste, even for VGCats. Especially when you consider than Iwata was one of the most respected and beloved figureheads of gaming in recent years, at least by CEO standards.

* {{Heartlesswithaheart}}: Withdrawing my previous entry to replace it with [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=383 #371 Tremendous]]. It's the same unfunny political jokes that have plagued 2016's US election, only recycled using Sonic characters. While it would have been relevant (and maybe at least somewhat amusing) back then, it was released in 2017 after president 45 is already in office. It feels less like the legitimately amusing comic it used to be and more like a shoddy fanfiction using popular characters to voice the creator's opinions. This has been a problem for a while, but this has been the most blatant.

* TwoEyesShort: Not so much a specific comic as much as it is the announcement that Scott is now drawing porn of the characters. On its own, that wouldn't be so bad, but between the sharp decline in the comic's overall quality, and the reasons stated being "ads just aren't cutting it", it looks like a desperate attempt to stay relevant via SexSells.

* @/Beacon80: For me it was [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=250 this strip]]. We were still getting announcements on characters, and the idea that longrunners like Captain Falcon and Jigglypuff weren't going to make it was laughable. That was when I realized that this was the only laugh I'd gotten out of the comic in ages, and it was ''at'' him, not with him.

* {{khrocksg}}: I know this seems pathetic, but I'd have to say [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=354 342: Penwings]]. This is a [[{{Deconstructed}} deconstruction]] of what goes on behind the scenes in SuperMario64. That star was a kid's COLLEGE FUNDS, [[SuperMarioBros Mari-]] [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT PENGUIN?!]]

Behold the strips that make the readers wish that Webcomic/VGCats [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck was aborted from time]]. [[AngstWhatAngst Don't worry,]] [[UnexplainedRecovery it'll recover.]]

* @/GrandDukeNukem: VGCats also gives us [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=280 "Nerd Rage"]], a parody of [[Series/TheColbertReport The Word]] that's more Ann Coulter than Stephen Colbert.

* @/SoWeAteThem: Same troper, different webcomic; {{VG Cats}}. [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=252 This strip]]. Misogyny for shock value? That can be let fly. Misogyny, realistically portrayed misogyny, as the punchline of a joke! You don't do that. You just don't.
** @/ScarletWave: What really solidifies this as {{VG Cats}}'s nadir is that the second-to-last panel tied up the joke (commentary about sexism in games) perfectly well, yet the author believed that adding the last panel would make the comic funnier.

* Tropers/{{Knight9910}}: In my opinion the real worst VG Cats strip was [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=269 #259: The Comedian]], or more specifically it was The Comedian, before it was edited and the part where Leo confessed to raping and murdering Aeris' mom was replaced with a lame joke about anal. (Related note: changing the original to just a series of lame jokes really just means Aeris is the one who crosses the MoralEventHorizon for murdering Leo for what amounts to... well, a series of lame jokes.) It's bad enough Scott made that one, but then he made the next strip into an insult aimed at anyone who didn't like 259, under the pretense that they were offended by the abortion thing, as opposed to them being offended by the fact that he'd suddenly changed lovable dimwit Leo into a seriously disturbed sociopath with no redeeming qualities or by the fact that a quirky comic about video games was now about Leo being a mentally ill sociopath with no redeeming qualities. That almost made me stop reading the comic altogether.
