Line #16 YMMV/WelcomeTo


1	''This is the Your Mileage May Vary page! It contains more subjective tropes that not everyone will agree with, along with various tropes surrounding the fanbase. Mostly, it's used for {{shipping}}, documenting the fallout of {{shipping}} {{flame war}}s, listing of [[MemeticMutation fandom memes]], and the occasional attempt to make new memes up.''
2	----
3	* CreatorBacklash: Brendan ''deeply'' regrets some of the jokes he made in Welcome to Tumblr, both for being bad jokes and coming off as transphobic.
4	* CrackPairing: The Fanfiction.net episode has a [[VideoGame/WiiFit Wii Fit Trainer]]/[[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Olimar]] sex scene.
5	* FountainOfMemes: The Fanfiction.net episode is insanely quotable. Especially the Creepypasta and Wattpad segments.
6	** "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin We was YOU]], and YOU became Skeleton and wrote THIS!"
7	** "Ideal Cast: One Direction + MEEEEEE!"
8	** "Maybe, you'll look better WITHOUT the dress? Hmmmmmmmm ;)"
9	** And, from the outtakes, “Ooohooohoo, SPOOKY! Ooooh, SPOOKY!”
10	* FridgeHorror: PlayedForLaughs in the Fanfiction.net episode - the author of the creepypasta is [[spoiler:said to have committed suicide]], but later revealed to be [[spoiler: the viewer,]] implying [[spoiler:the viewer killed themselves]] in the story or will do so in the future.
11	* GrowingTheBeard: ''[=YouTube=]'' is where the series started to gain a lot of recognition. Not surprising, since the art was a step-up from the last two episodes, and the jokes and mocking were sharper and funnier.
12	* HarsherInHindsight:
13	** In ''[=YouTube=]'', a few jokes about the site's [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks constant, never-asked-for updates that change the interface and make everything more convoluted]], including one at the end where a fake update is shown that requires users to have a Google+ account to do anything. Funny then, but less funny after Google actually force-integrated Google+ into the site, a decision that actively made the site (mainly the comment section) less user-friendly, and caused more backlash than any prior update.
14	** Similarly, the jokes about copyright aren't as funny after the serious crackdown on copyrighted content starting in late 2013, which caused many people to struggle with disputing copyright claims for videos that weren't technically copyright-infringing.
15	** Ultimately culminating with Jello's channel suffering two copyright strikes on his Baccano Abridged series, deleting a majority of the series, though fans have been able to salvage the episodes by reuploading, and Jello starting a backup channel.
16	* HilariousInHindsight:
17	** In ''Facebook'', made in 2012, the Narrator calls out Duck Face for attempting to use hashtags on Facebook, where they didn't work. Then, in June 2013, they were added to the site. He points this out in an annotation, and the HD reupload changes the joke to reflect it being dated.
18	*** In his remake of ''Facebook'', Jello removed the "Like if you remember WesternAnimation/HeyArnold" gag and replaced it with WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants. He did this because he mentioned that since Hey Arnold had been cancelled for over a decade, there technically are a lot of kids who probably haven't seen it. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160304163402/http://www.avclub.com/article/nickelodeon-wraps-14-year-cliffhanger-greenlights--233170 Nick decided to greenlight a new Hey Arnold! movie in 2016.]]
19	** ''Jaltoid'', another animation group on [=YouTube=], had one of their video thumbnails be shown in a collage during the animation segment of ''[=YouTube=]''. The couple behind Jaltoid would later directly take part in the series by voice-acting in ''Fanfiction.net''.
20	** The "penguins going extinct" gag in ''Welcome to Tumblr'' is a lot funnier considering the shutdown of ''VideoGame/ClubPenguin''.
21	** The end of ''Welcome to Webcomics'' has him express his frustration at how Webcomic/RPGWorld never got a proper ending. Thanks to ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', it now does.
22	** In a more darkly amusing example, in his ''Welcome to Tumblr!'' video, one of the pegs makes a political post, only for it to quickly attract a mob of angry followers. The commenters were quick to point out the {{Irony}} of this in the light of [[HeWhoFightsMonsters his "Vote" video]] and how it was received.
23	** Similarly, the gag involving Tumblr's [[TheInternetIsForPorn amounts of porn]] is even more hilarious after the site announced it was banning pornographic content in 2018, a move so controversial and flawed it has been blamed for speeding up the site's decline.
24	* NoYay: The Self-Insert Yaoi author [[YaoiFangirl Marissa]] pairs [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Len with Gakupo]]. Gakupo is a grown adult, Len is an adolescent. [[PaedoHunt Do the math]].
25	** Ally, 14 years old, pairing [[SelfInsert herself]] with One Direction is this to a lesser extent.
26	* OvershadowedByControversy: ''Welcome to Tumblr'' has the highest view count of the series. However, a lot more people discovered it not because of its quality, but because of the huge amount of hate the Tumblr community (natch) was giving it. [[CreatorBacklash Jello has since expressed regret for the points he made in the video]].
27	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
28	** With the websites featured getting changed constantly, a lot of layout-related jokes don't work as well as the episodes age, most notably with ''[=YouTube=]''. Jello even directly calls ''Facebook'' a period piece in his HD reupload of it.
29	** Most of the internet culture surrounding some of the websites has moved on. For one, Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn isn't given so much as a passing mention in ''Fanfiction'', whereas it probably would have been a talking point if ''Fanfiction'' was made today.
