7	The Desu Des Brigade, abbreviated to the [=D2Brigade=], or incorrectly as the DUD Brigade, was a team of reviewers with the following members:
8	* '''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFrHjof_-xRfaBd5fHs5Aw Professor Otaku]]''', who produces the review series "Anime Dissection" and "OVA 101."
9	* '''{{WebVideo/Arkada}}''', who produces the anime review called "Glass Reflection." He wears a lab coat during his reviews, which makes him vaguely reminiscent of [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Dr. Horrible]].
10	* '''WebVideo/JesuOtaku''', who produced a review segment simply entitled "The [=JesuOtaku=] Anime Review". He is much more analytical than the other reviewers, using a four-star rating system. He tries to be objective and may give high scores to shows that he doesn't personally like. He also produced his "summer project", an audio drama adaptation of Manga/FruitsBasket, every Wednesday throughout summer 2011.
11	* '''Vixen''', who produced the "Kit-Suki" review series. Her review style was very informal, and quite [[RedOniBlueOni opposite to her fellow reviewer]] WebVideo/JesuOtaku. In addition to reviewing anime, she sometimes reviews Western films (most of them Creator/{{Disney}}) in her "Film Fox" review series.
12	* '''Malakye''', who administers the [=DesuDes=] message board and produces the anime news segment called Pocky Spot. He has a cute, evil Music/{{Vocaloid}} assistant called Tsubake. Now has two of his own review series, "Mal's Monthly Manga" and "Sake Shots".
13	* '''Tsubake''', Mal's Vocaloid assistant who wants to KillAllHumans, Vixen in particular. She kills people on a regular basis and hates everyone.
14
15	* In March 2011 they added three new members to the brigade, unfortunately outside commitments and problems forced all of them to leave.
16	** '''Kagami''', who produces K-Station, a series of [=AMVs=]. Not much else is known except she has an in universe fascination with knives and (also in-universe) most likely killed her own boyfriend to get on the site.
17	** '''Rabbit''', Vixen's closest friend who produces the show "To Read or Not To Read" where she reviews Manga. She has two other series called "Between the Lines" and "By the Quill". She also provided some of the website's artwork.
18	** '''Hitch''', who produces "AMR (Anime Movie Review)" where he reviews, well, anime movies. His second series is called "Season Impressions" where he showcases new animes of each season and gives them a score based on his first and last impressions. Currently writes the Fanservice Corner segments of Pocky Spot.
19
20	While each of the reviewers has his or her own individual video review series, they also collaborate on other productions together. This began with the "Desu Rattle" podcast, when Professor Otaku brought Arkada, [=JesuOtaku=] and Vixen together to create a weekly podcast about anime. They became known as the [=DesuDes=] Brigade when they created their personal website. Malakye helped in the creation of the site, so he became the fifth Brigade member. Their reviews are aimed at discerning anime viewers who want to find out anime worth watching.
21
22	As of April 20, 2012, the D2 Brigade has disbanded, although all on good terms. Prof and Arkada still make content, but Vixen and Jesu have since retired from video making and taken all their content down to avoid future employers discovering it. Vixen previously ran a Tumblr blog dedicated to keeping the site's memory alive, but has since been closed down.
23
24	WebVideo/JesuOtaku and WebVideo/{{Arkada}} now have their own pages.
25	----
26	!!This website provides examples of:
27
28	* AllMenArePerverts: Prof, Arkada, Mal and Hitch are all pretty perverted and none of them are very good at keeping it {{covert\|Pervert}} (although they ''do'' try to keep it tasteful). Played with with JO, who could be a smidge perverted himself, but is much better at hiding it.
29	** AllWomenAreLustful: Vixen, Tsubake, Kagami and Rabbit aren't exactly innocent themselves, [[HypocriticalHumor no matter how much they lambaste the boys for it]].
30	* AlterEgoActing: Pretty much all the brigadiers do the third kind of this, especially on Pocky Spot.
31	* AnimalMotifs: Vixen themes herself after the fox. Aside from her name (A vixen is a female fox), her two series on the site are called Kit-suki (short for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune#Kitsunetsuki Kitsunetsuki]], Japanese for being possessed by a fox) and the appropriately titled Film Fox. Her avatar also has fox ears and a tail.
32	** Rabbit, whose animal theme is... well, guess.
33	* ArtEvolution: Prof's avatar has changed twice.
34	** And now the Pocky Spot (and other videos involving their avatars, as seen on the side of the site) avatars have undergone this now that Rabbit's drawing them.
35	* ArtificialHuman: Tsubake, somewhat.
36	* BerserkButton:
37	** For Professor Otaku: ''Anime/MDGeist'', bad girly shows and just about anything made by Kaishaku.
38	** For Vixen: Constant {{Random Encounter}}s in VideoGames. On the Fanservice Corner segment of Pocky Spot, excessive T&A is also a BerserkButton for her, but that's not generally the case in her actual reviews.
39	*** Not to mention ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.
40	*** Pocky Spot 48 brings us an anime where a 10 year old succubus has to have males ejaculate into her mouth in order to survive (''Astarotte No Omocha''). She's horrified and disgusted to say the least.
41	** For Arkada: ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''
42	*** And flimsy spindle DVD cases, as indicated in almost any of his given reviews.
43	*** He still hasn't forgiven Creator/KyotoAnimation for [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya "Endless Eight"]].
44	** For Hitch: When he was reviewing the live-action ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' movie, he was hoping that there would be lots of [[YourHeadAsplode exploding heads]] like in the anime. When we finally got to our first exploding head, [[GoryDiscretionShot it was off screen]]. He... didn't take it well.
45	*** When he found out that the ActionHero of ''Vampire Wars'' was named Cookie, well... he [[StealthPun snapped.]]
46	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Rabbit (don't let her cuteness fool you).
47	* BilingualBonus:
48	** Vixen did her review of ''Manga/LePortraitDePetiteCossette'' entirely in French.
49	** Prof did his review of ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' in French, Japanese, Fake German and Fake Italian, with a little English thrown in.
50	*** The German sounded suspiciously like an audio clip of Hitler, and the Italian sounded like someone reading off the Olive Garden menu. However, Prof did that as an experiment to see who was actually listening when subtitles are underneath.
51	* BrainBleach:
52	** Something Vixen desperately wanted after reviewing the Shotacon {{OVA}}s ''Papa to Kiss in the Dark'' and ''Boku no Pico''.
53	*** Vixen invoked this trope by name in her "Fanservice Corner" of Pocky Spot 15.
54	** Professor Otaku would have liked it after reviewing ''Manga/KekkoKamen''.
55	* BrickJoke: In Prof's ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' review, he said "What next? Do I watch ''Anime/{{Pretear}}''? How about ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''? Why not just grow a nice pair of BOOBS while I'm at it?" Half a year later, he's reviewed the first, about to review the second and the third? [[GenderBender Well...]]
56	* BreakupBreakout: Deconstructed. Rather than WebVideo/JesuOtaku leaving the brigade after joining up with Website/ChannelAwesome, he still tried to be a loyal brigadier, and his newfound popularity did in fact bring in more viewers to the Brigade's site; however, his indecisiveness coupled with his [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder ADCD]] caused him to grow increasingly distant from the Brigade, unofficially breaking off from it about a year from its official disbandment.
57	* ButtMonkey: Rin, one of their fans and Vixen's close friend. They make lots of fat jokes about her, lots and lots of fat jokes.
58	* CausticCritic: Professor Otaku, mainly, though Vixen gets like this sometimes, too.
59	* ChivalrousPervert: Hitch; sure he likes hentai but he genuinely respects women. [[http://www.formspring.me/cjhitchcock/q/218135111491681116 No, really]].
60	* ComedicSociopathy: Several examples:
61	** Vixen killing Malakye [[RunningGag multiple times over]] on Pocky Spot.
62	** Vixen killing an 'intern' on Pocky Spot.
63	** In the first Desu Des Brigade Christmas Special cartoon, after Vixen is [[BlackComedyRape attacked]] by the stream portal tentacles, Professor Otaku insists she continue with the show and says, "Come on, Vixen, suck it up! You're not the fanservice girl for nothing." Later on, as the stream portal tentacles get increasingly menacing while the Desu Des Brigadiers keep singing their Christmas song, the other Brigadiers want to quit, but Vixen holds them at sword point and shouts, "You're not finishing this song until all of us get [[BlackComedyRape violated]]!"
64	** Prof has a mean right hook. Just ask Vixen, as shown in the 'Quick Hits [=ACen=]' video, in which he systematically sucker-punched the rest of the Brigade. In his defense, Ark was singing the theme to ''Manga/SgtFrog'' at the time, but kicking JO through the door was unmerited.
65	* ContentWarnings: Always comes with the reviews of more violent titles.
66	* CouldSayItBut: Professor Otaku delves into great detail as to what colourful metaphor he ''would'' say about the English dub of ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'' but states that he's above that.
67	* CreditsGag:
68	* CuteAndPsycho: Vixen
69	* CutenessProximity:
70	** [=JesuOtaku=]'s subtitled reaction to [[VisualNovel/{{AIR}} Potato]], pretty much. Less than a year later, [[HilariousInHindsight his sister got a rather similar looking puppy.]]
71	** Ark's reaction to [[Manga/BunnyDrop Rin]], despite claiming he didn't like kids.
72	* ADayInTheLife: Tsubake's Adventures
73	* DeadpanSnarker: All of them are like this. Even the LargeHam Arkada.
74	* DisproportionateRetribution: Ark's suggestion for punishing Hitch for not liking ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' (which he even said wasn't horrible, he just didn't like it) is a letter bomb.... or a NUKE.
75	** His actual punishment (suggested by ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes Rabbit]]'') is to have his testicles electrocuted every time he has a naughty thought while reviewing ''La Blue Girl'' with Vixen.
76	*** Vix pulls the same thing on Prof for his 100th review.
77	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted with Vixen; there have been at least two Pocky Spots where her Fanservice Corner segments involved her raging over the fact that they portray female-on-male rape as comedy and explicitly pointing out that she doesn't think rape is ''ever'' okay.
78	-->'''Vixen''': You ''do'' realize it's possible for guys to get raped too, [[TranquilFury right]]?
79	* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: ''Manga/OkaneGaNai'' had Vixen laughing hysterically, for reasons best left un-analyzed. To be fair, though, she was laughing less at the rape itself and more at the scene's [[{{Narm}} melodrama]].
80	* DrinkingGame: Vixen did one in-universe for her reviews of ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'' and ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
81	* EarlyBirdCameo: The new avatars for the Brigaders appeared on the sides of the site months before their proper debut in Pocky Spot 50.
82	* ElectricTorture: [[http://www.desudesbrigade.com/2011/08/kit-suki-and-amr-la-blue-girl/ Poor Hitch...]]
83	* EnemyWithout: His normal person self, Tristan Gallant, distinct from his reviewer self, Arkada. The two argue over whether or not it's okay to show the sexier scenes of ''Manga/DesertPunk'', due to the normal self having a girlfriend. HilarityEnsues.
84	* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Perverts Have Standards]]: Malakye is every bit as disgusted by Manga/IkkiTousen as the rest of the Brigade.
85	* EvilLaugh: Hitch gives one of these off after giving Vixen SailorMoonAndThe7Ballz.
86	* TheFaceless: Until recently, Mal was the only member who had never showed his face, instead opting to use an animated avatar wearing a mask similar to that of Zero from ''Anime/CodeGeass''.
87	* FantasticSlurs: Tsubake calls humans (and presumably other organic creatures) "fleshbags."
88	* FanVid: Kagami's AMV videos.
89	* FollowTheBouncingBall: Hitch's [[http://www.desudesbrigade.com/2011/07/amr-classic-top-ten-sing-alongs/ sing along video]].
90	* FunWithSubtitles: In the promotion for the first annual Taishi awards, the brigadiers made several videos where the subtitles had anime characters hawk the Taishis, often while talking like gangstas.
91	** In the ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' review, Professor Otaku had quite a bit of fun with this. Or rather, the rest of the Brigade had fun at his expense.
92	** While introducing the review for ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere'', [=JesuOtaku=] gets into a fight with the Red Snark Titles.
93	* GenderBender: Prof got this at the end of his ''Anime/{{Pretear}}'' review, lasting until near the end of ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''.
94	* GilliganCut: Done twice in Arkada's ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' review. The first time was after declaring that in no way was he ever going to review the aforementioned series. The second time was declaring that he was definitely not following it up with a ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' review, which is then subverted when he's instead shown watching ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' after the Gilligan Cut.
95	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Vixen and Stevenlajr at the end of the ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga: Literature/NewMoon'' review.
96	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Prof's and Hitch's friendship implies this.
97	* HoldYourHippogriffs: After making a Harpies[[note]]herpes[[/note]] commercial voiceover, Prof quips in his review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Wonder Woman\|2009}}'' that he's going straight to the underworld for that one.
98	* HostileShowTakeover: Malakye hosts Fanservice Corner in Pocky Spot episode 53, showing the opening to ''Manga/MakenKi''.
99	* HurricaneOfPuns:
100	** Vixen's ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' review featured a vampire Pun Count. When ''New Moon'' came back with its own awful puns, she suspected it was karma.
101	** Arkada's review for ''[[VisualNovel/PhantomOfInferno Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~]]'' just had to go into the Creator/BeeTrain wreck pun.
102	* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Vixen's guest co-reviewer of ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', Steven Lajr, on shooting himself in the balls when he learns they're splitting ''Breaking Dawn'' into two movies. (Hilariously, Vixen's response was to tell him that he wasn't allowed to have good ideas any more.)
103	* IWantSong: Vixen's and Tsubake's parody of ''[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Want You Gone]]''.
104	** LetsDuet
105	* KillAllHumans: Tsubake's goal.
106	* LamePunReaction: Professor Otaku on Dolores from ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders: Dolores, i'':
107	-->'''Prof''': You know, other reviewers might harp on the location of the cockpit, but not me. I think that argument falls limp, because it has stiff competition, standing tall in a crowd of flaccid robot designs. The orbital frames really thrust themselves into the hard and thick market and show they have a rod of steel in their spines. And I think I just burned out my subtlety chip.
108	* LargeHam: Arkada when he [[strike:introduces]] hosts his Mailbag Showdown, and whenever he does voice work either, it's part of the [[MadScientist persona]].
109	** Ark in general, even when making V-Logs!
110	* LetsPlay: The members have attempted a few of these, Prof with ''Knights of the Round'' for the Arcade and ''Spider-Man Web of Shadows'' for the 360, Vixen with PC titles ''Left 4 Dead 2'', ''Phantasmagoria'' and ''The Sims 3'' as well as ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' for Game Boy Advance and Arkada with ''Legend of Dragoon'' for the [=PlayStation=].
111	* MadScientist: Arkada plays this up from time to time.
112	* MsFanservice: Vixen, of course. Usually, this is played for laughs, as in some of her [[DoubleEntendre lines]] in the Fanservice Corner segment of Pocky Spot, or in the [[http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu283/VideoGameVixen/DDB/QABanner.jpg banner]] for her Q&A segments.
113	** See the entry for OfCorsetsSexy below.
114	** She has also [[{{Cosplay}} cosplayed]] as Jasmine when she did her Film Fox review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', which of course involved baring her midriff.
115	* MotorMouth: Arkada's quick recap of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' to help put context into ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren''.
116	* MoralMyopia: Played for HypocriticalHumor laughs; Tsubake accuses the viewers of being racist towards Music/{{Vocaloid}}s because they want to hear her sing. This is coming from a KillerRobot who [[KillAllHumans hates all of humanity and wants to kill them]].
117	* OfCorsetsSexy: Vixen is rather fond of corsets, including her "trademark" white corset, which she first wore in her review of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' for the hell of it, and is shown wearing in the intro sequence to her reviews.
118	* OhCrap: From Vixen and Steven's review of ''New Moon'':
119	--> '''Vixen''': No, movie, no. God damn you! You do not put Shakespeare near Edward Cullen and have him read it like he knows what he's talking about. You do not put one of the greatest literary fucking masterminds in a movie based on a book by ''Stephenie fucking Meyer.''
120	--> '''Steven''': Vix. Vix, calm down.
121	--> '''Vixen''': I'm not calming down!
122	--> '''Steven''': Go eat ice-cream!
123	--> '''Vixen''': Fuck ice-cream!
124	--> '''Steven''': [beat] ''Shit.''
125	* OneSteveLimit: Coincidentally, Prof.'s real name is CJ Irelan and Hitch's is CJ Hitchcock.
126	** It helps that the members all refer to each other by their stage names.
127	* OppositeSexClone: Prof's aforementioned GenderBender ended in this the male and female forms becoming seperate people towards the end of the review. [[AWizardDidIt How exactly that happened is never explained.]]
128	* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Blink and you'll miss it, but during the Red Scorpion "Luck Be a Lady" radio drama, featuring a red-tinted Green Hornet, the titular character uses this as a password before smashing down a door.
129	* PerverseSexualLust: Vixen's "List of Disney Boys I Would Bang": [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Li Shang]] and WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}.
130	-->'''Vixen:''' "Damn. ''Damn.'' Hey... Hey, wait, come back here, I'll make a man out of ''you''!"
131	* PokemonSpeak: Both JO and Arkada snark if Nyu's a Pokemon in their reviews of ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
132	* PrecisionFStrike: From all three {{Sixth Ranger}}s (Hitch at Anime Central, and Rabbit and Kagami at Metrocon) -- [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "You are going to fucking LOVE ME."]]
133	* PutOnABus: What Hitch did to the gag characters Steve and Joe from his earlier reviews.
134	* RealMenWearPink: "Real men watch ''Princess Tutu''." And indeed, ''Tutu'' has been shown a couple of times on the Manime Monday stream.
135	** See also Prof's love of ''Manga/{{Gals}}'' and ''Manga/AngelicLayer''.
136	** All of the boys are fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
137	* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Comes up in-universe in Vixen's vids.
138	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Vixen's cartoon avatar on Pocky Spot when she gets really angry.
139	* RedOniBlueOni: Vixen's the Red Oni, [=JesuOtaku=] is solidly the Blue one.
140	** Ark is [[LargeHam red]] and Prof is [[DeadpanSnarker blue]].
141	* ReTool: Pocky Spot as of episode 50. All segments barring Mailbag Showdown and Fanservice Corner have been replaced by a whole new host of segments, including one for each of the new brigadiers and Tsubake getting one to herself.
142	* RuleSixtyThree: Vixen [[InvokedTrope mentions this]] after encountering a male version of herself in her review of ''Anime/{{Vandread}}''. Also invoked with Profette.
143	* RunningGag: Oh, so many...
144	** The legendary badassery of Arkada, who supposedly can make peanut butter by punching narwhals to death.
145	** Professor Otaku's cartoon avatar usually lacks anything below the waist, which sparked jokes about him having no legs, or his legs running off and selling real estate in Southern California, etc.
146	** Vixen and Malakye's feud on Pocky Spot, where Malakye writes scripts where Vixen is supposed to say pervy things, and Vixen responds by killing him in assorted horrific ways.
147	** Actually, on Pocky Spot, Vixen has a rather short fuse, anyway, to the point of ComedicSociopathy. (See examples above.)
148	* RussianReversal: Professor Otaku in his LetsPlay of ''Knights of the Round'':
149	-->(while being attacked by barrels) ''That's right folks, if you can't kill a castle, a castle will kill you.''
150	* ScrewYourself: There were already comments joking about this within hours of Prof's ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' review.
151	** Later they invoked this in their review of ''Issho Ni''.
152	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Arkada and Professor Otaku, though surprisingly it's Arkada that lapses into this most frequently.
153	* SigningOffCatchPhrase:
154	** At the end credits of their respective reviews, Arkada says "Stay Frosty". Similarly, Professor Otaku used to say "Until next week, this is Professor Otaku signing off", which he seems to be bringing back. Vixen makes a little squeaky sound that sounds like 'omo' but she claims her catchphrase is 'I'm going to kill you, Prof'.
155	* ShoutOut: In Vixen's Film Fox review of ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', the text across the bottom of the screen when the homeless guy steals Giselle's tiara is [[WebVideo/BumReviews "THIS IS THE GREATEST TIARA I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!"]]
156	* SongParody: Vixen and Tsubake did one of ''Want You Gone''.
157	** Although not entirely changed, Hitch and Prof did [[Theatre/AvenueQ If You Were Gay]].
158	* TheStinger: Ark puts an audio preview of his next review in his more recent reviews.
159	* StupidSexyFlanders
160	** Arkada has a shameless mancrush on Creator/CrispinFreeman.
161	* SuperDeformed: The Pocky Spot chibis, especially the current style.
162	* {{Squee}}: During Pocky Spot 22, both Vixen and JO let out a good one when seeing [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub Kyoya]] with his shirt off.
163	** They do this again at the beginning of Prof's review of ''Anime/{{Pretear}}'', much to Prof's annoyance.
164	* StuffBlowingUp: Professor Otaku in his LetsPlay of ''Knights of the Round'':
165	-->'''Prof''': Now, I'm not quite sure about the biology of a tiger, but I'm pretty sure they don't ''explode'' into flames when you kill them.
166	* TakeAThirdOption: Even though Prof had several fans send video suggestions for his 100th episode, Profette comes up with the easy choice of [[spoiler:''Manga/BusoRenkin'']].
167	* TakeThat: Arkada took a shot at Creator/ToddHaberkorn voicing too many recent leads in his review of ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}''.
168	* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Vix reported on her Q&A...
169	-->If you don't like people randomly bursting into song, then you probably wouldn't like Ark very much.
170	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Vixen's reaction in Pocky Spot 48 where she learns the plot of the loli animé, ''Astarotte NoOmo cha''.
171	* TokenEvilTeammate: Tsubake. Originally Malakye, though [[TheStarscream it's been brought up a a lot less since she came along]].
172	* TopTenList: Top X Lists, mostly.
173	** Vixen has Top 20 Musical Numbers.
174	** Prof had Top 10 Babes (though it was actually 10 + 5 Wussiest Girls + 5 Almost Made Its), Top 10 Stupidest ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' Episodes, Top 10 Crushes, and Top 5 Mismatched Openings and Endings.
175	** Ark had Top 19 Anime BGM, Top 10 Unlicensed Anime of 2010, Top 14 Tragically Sad Moments, and Top 17 anime voice actors.
176	** Hitch had his Top 10 70's anime openings and Top 10 Singalongs.
177	** Mal recently had his Top 10 Anime Openings.
178	* TrueCompanions: While the Brigade was together. Even after the disbandment, Prof, Vixen and Arkada stayed in touch (JO's situation is ambiguous, but it's likely that his busy schedule kept him from doing so).
179	* VisualPun: Arkada uses these to great effect in his Glass Reflection reviews.
180	* WallBang: Some series that Professor Otaku reviewed, and he couldn't take it, and... you know.
181	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Hitch's sudden entrance to D2 was contested, but his indefinite hiatus met with sorrow, he'll still be around on the forums though.
182	* XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack: Professor Otaku in his LetsPlay of Knights of the Round:
183	-->''Sky Walker? [[Franchise/StarWars Luke]] called, he wants his name back.''
184	* YaoiFangirl: Inverted. Vixen was way too squicked out by what she reviewed in ''Papa To Kiss In The Dark'', mostly due to that story being [[BrainBleach wholly]] [[ParentalIncest terrible]].
185	** Tsubake apparently has a rather large collection of Yaoi porn.
186	* YouCanLeaveYourHatOn: Was Ark stripping through their riff of Venus Wars, cause it certainly looked like it.
