History Trivia / TheAnnotatedSeries

** [=VonnyFortan=], [=ShiningPokeStar=], Countsmegula and [=MagnumBill91=]'s art for ''The Tale of [[WesternAnimation/DrRabbit Dr. Rabbit]]'' didn't make the cut.

** From ''Spectreman'' onwards, series longer than 12-26 episodes have only a fraction of their episodes annotated. ''Kirby: Right Back At Ya'', ''Speed Racer'' and more recently, ''Carmen Sandiego'' also follow this trend.

** Creator/MattHill, the voice actor of Captain N from WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster approved the annotators work from a video done through a celebrity shout-out website called Cameo

** They've had this effect on a number of the works they've riffed, [[VindicatedByHistory for better]] or [[SnarkBait for worse]]. Would you have known that stuff like ''The Nutshack'' or the Bubsy pilot even existed if not for these guys?

*** Done to ''Cyberchase'' after only two episodes by Creator/{{PBS}}. In this case, TropesAreNotBad as the Annotators have since gone on to say they didn't care much for the show.

** There were originally supposed to be a selection of various WesternAnimation/Cyberchase episodes to be annotated, but after two episodes it stopped because of copyright and that the show wasn't very interesting to annotate.

** Likewise, ''WesternAnimation/TheFonzAndTheHappyDaysGang'' was meant to have a complete run, but as mentioned above, a copyright claim and removal against them would halt the series at the same point as ''Carmen''.

*** Now averted for ''Tricky People'', which was reuploaded onto Annoverse in full, complete with a new riff.

*** The latter was later uploaded to Google Drive and much like Tricky People it has a new riff to go with it.

** [=YouTube=] also took out pause annotations -- though some viewers say the feature was abused anyway.
** Starting in early May, the ability to add or edit annotations is getting removed from [=YouTube=] altogether, bringing an end to the original Annotated Series.
** The announcement that all annotations would be removed from [=YouTube=] sent the channel into a frenzy, leading to a mass archiving of the remaining channels still up.

** The fateful day Website/YouTube discontinued collaborative annotations. The beeupyou channel now serves as an archive of past works, with the shared channel being how they now do things -- but it took about a month to set up while everyone campaigned in vain for the collaborative annotations feature to be reinstated.
** Every time [=YouTube=] makes changes to the annotation editor, it's not uncommon to see the Annotators criticize these in the channel comments.

** Due to [=YouTube=]'s copyright rules, the ''Savage Dragon'' videos have been autoblocked. This meant that the show had to be skipped in the ''Five Years'' retrospective. Also, while most of the ''Tricky People'' videos are intact, the first one has been autoblocked, rendering the rest of the riff supremely confusing.

** The Nutshack has since suffered a similar fate, with all but part 2 blocked for some reason. Though ''why'' anyone would want to claim copyright on it is known only to the person who made the claim.
** The ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'' animated pilot was taken down almost immediately after release by Blind Ferret.
** ''Sonic X'' is blocked in Japan courtesy of Creator/TMSEntertainment.
** Happened to a lesser extent with ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'' on [=HammerNationTime=], with it causing problems with Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment, who took it down. A similar incident happened regarding ''[[WesternAnimation/PacMan Christmas Comes to Pac-Land]]'' and Creator/WarnerBros.
*** The latter was later uploaded to Google Drive and much like Tricky People it has a new riff to go with it.

** The unthinkable happened in September of 2017, when a copyright strike on the entirety of ''Riki-Oh'' took down [=TheAnnotationStation=] itself.
** In regards to the new channel, this happened with "[[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} Arthur's Big Hit]]". It was reuploaded onto Dailymotion not long after the takedown.
** The first episode of ''Disney's WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' went straight to Dailymotion, the annotators well aware that Disney would take it down without any hesitation. Despite that, it still got removed from the site and was instead uploaded to Google Drive.
** A copyright claim and subsequent removal of episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheFonzAndTheHappyDaysGang'' from Bry's personal channel (as well as subsequent takedown of said channel) ended the show's run on the channel prematurely.

** Episode 9 of ''Kidd Video'' originally included part of the music video for Music/{{Bananarama}}'s "Cruel Summer", only to be edited out a day after release out of fear for copyright. Otherwise subverted as despite all the jokes thrown around about potential copyright takedown due to the show's licensed music, the rest of the episodes remain unedited.

** Originally, there was supposed to be a website that was going to feature annotated shows that couldn't be posted to YouTube due to copyright, but it never happened.

** The "My mom married a Yeti" short from ''WesternAnimation/ShortyMcShortsShorts'' features a little girl with a lisp voiced by Creator/LaraJillMiller. References to [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Lisa Loud]] (who is also voiced by Lara Jill Miller and speaks with a lisp) ensued soon.

** From ''Spectreman'' onwards, series have only a fraction of their episodes annotated. ''Kirby: Right Back At Ya'', ''Speed Racer'' and more recently, ''Carmen Sandiego'' also follow this trend.

* OneOfUs:
** Annotators sometimes point out a trope by name, occasionally with a link to the trope page.
** This crosses over into LampshadeHanging territory with the tags for ''Captain N'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRXnOe5T1JQ season 2, episode 1]].
** These pages are maintained mostly by the annotators, though with so many they rarely end up talking about themselves.
** The whole thing gets recursive during the five-year special: during the segment for ''Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins'', Raiden's appearance comes with the annotation, "I've arrived to pose for the Annotated Experiment TV Tropes picture!" referring to [[http://i.imgur.com/I7VdOrA.png the page image when the special was posted]].

** A copyright claim and subsequent removal of episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheFonzAndTheHappyDaysGang'' from Bry's personal channel ended the show's run on the channel prematurely.

** There were originally going to be more annotated episodes of ''WesternAnimation/WhereOnEarthIsCarmenSandiego'' but the annotators got tired of the series real quick, ending it after 10 episodes.

** Originally, there was supposed to be a website that was going to feature annotated shows that couldn't be posted to YouTube due to copyright, but it never happened.
