* ''ComicBook/{{Commando}}'' has had over 4000 issues so there's a lot to catch up on. But currently half of the new issues are reprints of older issues.

* The Website/FourChan Archives. Whenever a thread becomes considered "epic" on 4chan, it can be voted to go to the Archives. Almost every board has a section in said Archives. Each page has around ten threads on it, and page numbers vary from a few to the infamous /b/'s section, which, to say the least, is huge. Also note that Epic Fail Guy moments, memes, and various other categories get their own sections, and you've just taken out a good chunk of your free time trying to read them all. Oh, and there's always more coming in. Enjoy your lulzy prison...

* To date, UsefulNotes/AnimationResources has published 425 articles about animation and art since 2004, and it is still regularly updated to this day.

* ''Roleplay/PokemonRiseOfTheRockets'' has been running for five years at the time of writing, and as a result has quite a lot of back story to take in--over 150 pages of readable content, in fact. And that's only partially taking into account the ''other'' 300+ pages of content that were lost with the Website/BZPower [[PermanentlyMissableContent hacking of 2013]], covering the story's earliest days and plot arcs. Needless to say, it can be rather difficult to jump into the game.

* ''Roleplay/NoPixel'': Considering ''[=NoPixel=]'' runs exclusively on SwitchingPOV, and that you'd have combined hours upon hours upon ''hours'' of every single person who has ever livestreamed ''[=NoPixel=]'' on Website/{{Twitch}} or Facebook Gaming -- and we're talking multiple streamers for pretty much every day since about 2017 -- you'd have an impossible task ahead of you if you tried to watch every single ''[=NoPixel=]'' VOD in full. The general rule of thumb is to watch clips of your favorite character, or Website/YouTube recaps of clips and storylines, but even these can take a good while depending on how much you want to watch.

* Not only is the ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'' a large set of stories, it's ''really freakin' confusing'' for a newbie to try and track down them all -- especially with the collapse of Website/GeoCities taking out what seems like half of it. The people at the group's board tend to be helpful, though.

* ''WebVideo/CODblackopsPS'', a collection of recorded ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' clips, is an extreme example for a Website/YouTube channel with '''OVER ONE MILLION UPLOADS''' at its peak. Several videos there have since been deleted, and it's nearly impossible to see all in one sitting.

* ''WebVideo/ClassicGameRoom'' has uploaded over '''1400''' videos of variable length since the debut of its Website/YouTube channel in late 2007, and new videos gets added pratically every days. And that's not counting the sister "CGR Undertow" channel.

* The WebVideo/VlogBrothers have been making Website/YouTube videos since January 2007 for a rough total of ''980 videos'', a number that continues to rise at a rate of two per week. That's not even counting the numerous other channels that they have, including Hankgames, WebVideo/{{The Lizzie Bennet Diaries}}, WebVideo/SciShow, WebVideo/CrashCourse, Truth or Fail, and Music/{{Hank|Green}}'s Channel, almost all of which have referenced or [[ContinuityNod nodded to each other in various ways]] and played off of knowledge of events from previous videos, bringing the total number of videos to '''''2000'''''. While it is possible for new Nerdfighters to follow them without knowing exactly where these injokes came from, the urge to watch the 980 main-channel videos from the beginning can be too great to resist, leading to many a Nerdfighter wasting their summer. They do, however, try to ease this anxiety by providing [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL747F0A378BC181C7&feature=plcp a playlist of twenty essential videos,]] including the one that shows the origin of the term 'Nerdfighter'.

* The ''WebVideo/WebdriverTorso'' channel on Website/YouTube has uploaded over 600,000 videos. Thankfully, a vast majority of them are only 11 seconds long.

** And '''then''' there are all of the spin-offs! Franchise/BerniceSummerfield's many, ''many'' ranges, ''I, Davros'', which explores Davros' backstory, ''Jago and Litefoot'', which went on for ''13 seasons'' before one of the lead actors - Trevor Baxter - died in 2017, and ''AudioPlay/{{Gallifrey}}'' which shows the politics and drama of the Gallifreyan government with both old and new characters. So yeah, there's a ''lot'' to get through!

* ''WebVideo/StampysLovelyWorld'' is a Minecraft LetsPlay series numbering at 700 episodes and counting, and has been releasing new episodes once or twice a week (excluding holiday specials and the SeriesHiatus it underwent between November 2018 and August 2020) since 2012. It would take an estimated 10 days without sleep just trying to get through the first 700 episodes, and that's not counting its spin-off series, ''Stampy's Funland'', or the ''Behind the Scenes'' videos, which are implied to be canon as well.
** [[WebVideo/{{Stampylongnose}} Stampy's]] other series are nothing to slouch at either. ''Quest'' takes place over the course of 4 years and numbers at 225 episodes (the first 25 spent trying to kill the Ender Dragon, the next 200 spent... being {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s with Squid), and the ''Dens'' series with Sqaishey has over 340 episodes over 4 sub-series and almost 7 years' worth of weekly uploads. Oh, and did we mention the ''Minecraft: Story Mode'' playthroughs? The challenge series? ''Building Time''? The livestreams, including the ''Relearning Minecraft'' series? The ''non-Minecraft'' content? Hoo boy, we have got a ''lot'' of work to do if you want to watch all his videos... on his ''main'' channel.

* ''Animation/FlowerAngel'' has eight seasons with 288 episodes and a movie. It would take you upwards of two days to complete the series without breaks. If you're a completionist who focuses on entire franchises, there's also [[VideoGame/FlowerFairy the MMORPG]] the cartoon is based on.

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'' ended with 262 episodes and a movie. It would take you upwards of two days to complete the series without breaks. If you're a completionist who focuses on entire franchises, there's also [[VideoGame/FlowerFairy the MMORPG]] the cartoon is based on.

[[caption-width-right:225:Plus or minus 3,000 at this point.]]

* The ''VideoGame/{{SEER}}'' television show has over 350 episodes as of 2021, the most of any of Taomee's television series. There are also seven movies that are a part of the franchise as well.

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'' reached 200 episodes in Season 5. If you're a completionist who focuses on entire franchises, there's also [[VideoGame/FlowerFairy the MMORPG]] the cartoon is based on.

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'' reached 200 episodes in Season 5, and it didn't stop there either. If you're a completionist who focuses on entire franchises, there's also [[VideoGame/FlowerFairy the MMORPG]] the cartoon is based on.

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'' has produced and aired well over 100 episodes as of 2021. If you're a completionist who focuses on entire franchises, there's also [[VideoGame/FlowerFairy the MMORPG]] the cartoon is based on.

* ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun'' has enjoyed a very robust run over the years. In 2023, they are holding their '''20th''' anniversary. They produced at least one video a week for 11 years; even at an average of only of 3 minutes per video, that's 28.6 hours of video to watch. Then came all the bonus videos and spinoffs, which would take you a while to watch them all. (Fortunately, continuity is only important within the [=commodoreHustle=] sub-series). After 6 years, ''[=LoadingReadyRun=]'' struck a deal to produce their shorts for ''Website/TheEscapist'', and for the following 5 years of weekly sketch comedy, their videos appeared there. They continued to produce spinoffs for The Escapist after the finale of their sketch comedy. A few months after the end of their sketch comedy, The Escapist had some in-house upheavals and LRR decided not to renew their contract (along with a number of other creators, which is outlined on The Escapist's page). However, after transferring back to [=YouTube=], the archives have grown '''even deeper''' for the following eight years, once you count the numerous podcasts, streams, and other series that LRR has put out, died, and sometimes revived in the intervening years. Given that they could be streaming a 3-hour-long gaming session on Twitch while also releasing a 1-hour-long podcast and a 15-minute scripted video on [=YouTube=] ''at the same time'', the only way you could catch up on ''everything'' is to make LRR more than a full-time job. The way it's OK to skip a lot of it is that their content has become '''''so''''' wide-ranging in topics (TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering, [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel movies]], Wrestling/{{WWE}}, video games, young adult literature, old 80s sitcom rewatches, a road trip show in the style of Series/TopGear, [[WebVideo/DesertBusForHope a yearly telethon for charity]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers how to make coffee better]], etc.) that you probably aren't interested in ''everything'' they do anyway.

* The [[http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/ art blog]] of the late animator MichaelSporn was regularly updated with literally thousands of pieces of animation artwork, and it managed to reach 2,882 posts total.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Blondie}}'' started in September 1930. 85 years of not only comic strips, but also a dozen live-action movies, 12 seasons of a radio show, two TV series and two animated specials.

* ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'' clocks in at 300 issues, spread over about a dozen phonebook volumes (though some are a bit thinner).
* Franchise/SpiderMan has ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' (700), ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' (300), ''Web of Spiderman'' (141), ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' (155), and ''Marvel Team Up'' (186) as his longest running titles. Then add in some 55 limited series about him and his appearances in other comics.
