History YMMV / TheAnnotatedSeries

: HateDumb: A minor one, but a noteworthy one, nonetheless. Occasionally, a Youtuber will post a comment complaining about the presence of annotations, even stating that they [[JustHereForGodzilla only came to watch the video itself]], and/or that they will turn the annotations off just to enjoy said series, even though this the videos clearly say "'''Annotated Series'''" [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin right there on the title]], and disabling the annotations would just defeat the purpose of even ''watching'' one of their videos.

** Seems to be averted in ''Captain N'', as of current.

** Back in the [=BeeUpYou=] days there was one annotator during one Mario Bros. series that would not stop bringing up Republicans whenever something bad happened. This started getting on people's nerves.

** Cheatsy and Kooky in ''Super Mario Bros 3.'' as well Doug the Bug, who was merely a frequent animation error.)

** He's also [[{{Videogame/Darkseed}} Mike Dawson]] as interpreted by {{Retsupurae}}.

* HoYay:

* IAmNotShazam: There is no name for the actual group of people that do this, though they are often referred to as {{TheAnnotatXperiment}} due to the YouTube account name. Similarly, [=CurtDogg=] is [=CurtDogg=] and not beeupyou; that's just a phonetic pun of the B^U emoticon.

* RootingForTheEmpire:

** NME, from Armor of Light, just barely passes. Nobody likes the annoying bad guys, except maybe Dark Master's look, the Annotators just despise smarmy protagonists more. Also NME wasn't shown doing anything bad in the special so the kids came off as a bunch of Christian extremists that sabotaged corporate broadcasts and interrupted a vague band contest.
* TheScrappy:

** Nearly EVERYONE from Nutshack with a little less hate for Dickman.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The general reaction to BeautyAndWarrior was that while it wasn't ''good'' in any sense of the word, it was mainly tedious and confusing rather than hilariously stupid.

** Back in the BeeUpYou days there was one annotator during one Mario Bros. series that would not stop bringing up Republicans whenever something bad happened. This started getting on people's nerves.

** Isn't that trouble usualy for 'good' sounds? What might be a better use of thrope is Bison's 'yesh' since everyone went wild when that awesome scene occurred. Also the music accopmanying it invokved aftwards many glorious 'yeshes!'

*** Continuing with the Video Brinquedo hate, everyone from The Little Panda Fighter sans Polaris was hated, especially Beth, the bear bitch that shows no character development other than: "Pandas are so ridiculous and stupid. Big, muscular, and popular bears are sooo hot~".

*** Bizarrely enough, '''[[TheScrappy GAMEBOY]]''' of all people is becoming one as well, aided by "trying to kill" Pit and sporting [[CoolShades bitching sunglasses]] in one episode.

*** Yet again from Captain N King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard have slowly but surely come to this. One part, as disgusting as it is, shipping and one part they don't seem TOO malicious and one part kind of sympathetic has helped them grow onto the bulk of the crew. They were even disappointed that the chance to get the two into official couple statues was missed in the Paperboy episode.

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Some of the annotations note how creepy Mother Brain is.

** Jeffery Scott, the writer of season 1 for Captain N. He wrote some pretty bad episodes, Simon's amensia, but he wrote the Mike episode and seemed to maintain some very minor consistency. Some even worse episodes of season 2 have some people wishing he came back, though he isn't the only one to write some noteworthy episodes.

** One part this and one part running gag for Captain N for two. First there's Eggplant Wizar'ds non-sequitor 'Radio Controlled Sweet Potato' and then there's Lana asking 'what about the peace treaty?' whenever Mother Brain departs from her.

** Simon Belmont as a "stealth mentor" in Captain N, happily hanging back and allowing the heroes to deal with the situation themselves in order to let them learn from the experience as his own input would solve the problem too soon.

* {{Squick}}: Simon Belmont tearing off Donkey Kong's toenail.

*** Quan Chi, a recurring [[MortalKombat]] villain, debuted in Defenders of the Realm of all places. For that was referred to as the best original character ever.

*** Bizarrely enough, '''[[TheScrappy GAMEBOY]]''' of all people is becoming one as well, aided by "trying to kill" Pit and sporting [[CoolShades bitching sunglasses]] in one episode.

** Puff, a OneShotCharacter from ''Captain N,'' was a baby dragon that knew how to say "Mama!" and how to scream. And that was it. Also from Captain N are Kid Icarus, and to a lesser extent Megaman, due to their voices and verbal tics. Gameboy was played up to be this, although it's uncertain so far just how hated he'll be in retrospect.

* IAmNotShazam: Despite this page's name, the Annotators have never had an official name for their group. The YouTube channel is named after the fact that they were seeing if it would work, and back when it was on beeupyou's channel everything was just Title: The Annotated Series.
