Everyone has good and not so good videos.
They chose one of the weaker Abridged Snakes ones.
It be like taking the third video from Little Kuriboh and making fun of that. They got better. (Though LK also never used a girl's voice for the main cast)
But I love Chip and Ironicus and honestly, their MGS Lps are funnier than the Abridged Snakes. So it's all good.

Has anyone seen Les Beardly's Retsupurae-esque videos?
He's not quite as funny as Chip and Ironicus, or Slowbeef and company, but I like how he manages to retain a completely civil tone, while remaining extremely caustic and biting.
Wait, wait, wait, there's a guy in Mario called Reznor?
"Hipsters: the most dangerous gang in the US." - Pacific MackerelI remember every Super Mario World boss except Bowser was named after a popular musician, if I'm not mistaken.
Kill all math nerdsBowser was also named after a popular musician, actually. This guy.
the future we had hoped forReznor wasn't even called Reznor in the Japanese version. Funny little Dub Name Change that kept the Theme Naming.
Who also remembers their Retsupurae of that one guy who did Diddy Kong Racing?
I'm quite confident in my shitposting you knowBowser's kids were from Mario 3 originally, though. :P
The Protomen enhanced my life.Oh, but that's cruel. Billy MC doesn't deserve such torture.
Re: Mario names, what I've heard is Ludwig von Beethoven, Lemmy Kilmister, Roy Orbison, Iggy Pop, Wendy O. Williams, Morton Downey Jr., Larry King (Larry King!? He's not a musician, is he?). Reznor's a neat reference too.
My favorite Les Beardly RP is his first one:
Mighty Kombat, didn't we exchange a few You Tube comments in that horrible Playtennis video? He really does fucking jump into those fireballs.
I'm watching Slowbeef's Metroid Prime 3 and it's still pretty good. It doesn't seem he's finished yet.
It's amazing how little life I have; I watched all, like, forty hours of the first two Prime games in the past month.
It Just Bugs MeIf you're going to half-ass a ROM hack, at least use correct grammar, damn it!
SUPERSHADOWDESTRUCTI!

Kill all math nerdsI still think Playtennis is worse. But geez, I was sitting there mouth agape at that horrid story. Something about Super Mario World brings out the worst in people.
It Just Bugs MeFrightening man.
Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit....
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!I don't like that guy, either.
LesBeardly seems okay, but the following Retsupurae was one I didn't care for. Maybe I'm alone in this, and you guys will like it.
I don't really mind her art, and I kinda think Les is being a bit dickish, but again, I might be in the minority here...
I think he was reaching for the art insults. Frankly he was reaching for most of the second half of the video. She's not good at either LP or art, but nor is she terrible; it's harder to RP people like her. Les did miss when she goes crazy at the darkening screen, though...

It Just Bugs MeHe might've just let her reactions speak for themselves.
Her art isn't terrible, but I get the feeling that he hates it because it's Animesque, and there's some sort of unwritten rule that Something Awful members must hate anything anime. I never was particularly fond of that site, or most of its members...
It's not an unwritten rule. Most of Something Awful genuinely hates anime. Mentioning it anywhere besides the designated threads is begging for Internet Backdraft.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!By unwritten I meant that I assumed there's no "You are not allowed to like anime" rule somewhere in the forum rules. Plus, I get a bit of a Fan Hater vibe there (and not just when it comes to anime).
And more Youtube potshots as well. I know that the site has a lot of idiots, but it's because it's the most popular video site on the internet, and Sturgeon's Law is in full force. You can't really say all Youtube videos are awful; after all, that includes the Retsupurae itself as well, and I doubt anyone would feel that way about their own video (at least, not right away).

Pause. Savestate. Unpause.
the future we had hoped forPretty much.
Yeah that's pretty accurate.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!
Glad I never watched the Metal Gear Solid The Abridged Snakes videos, now.
