* batmany: Their AprilFoolsDay special where they parody ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'' (Specifically, ''Our War Game'') was just awful. I couldn't even get past the first few minutes, and the reason why can be boiled down to a single character- Tai. Oh, where do I start with this blatant disrespect for a beloved character from many people's (including mine) childhood? How about the fact that we first see him watching a MyLittlePony fan video and getting a visible (though blurry) boner? [[SarcasmMode Because, ya know, the joke about Bronies being sick perverts hasn't been beaten to the ground already.]] Oh, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. When he calls Kari to aid them in saving the world (or their namesake, in this case) from Keramon, guess what happens? She says she can't help him and explains why is due to a restraining order against him. [[DontExplainTheJoke Get it? They're hinting that he molested her prior to the movie!]] [[SarcasmMode Hilarious!]]

* Loekman3: When TFS Gaming release ''Renegade for Life'' for ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'', I was excited to watch how TFS Vegeta will react to the gameplay but then the opening ruined much of my excitement by having Lanipator go onto a minute and a half long speech about this worthless tupperware Android RPG that everyone should play. It's already bad enough that other DBZ Youtubers did this but for Teamfourstar to do it too? The old TFS I knew of would never stoop to so low to advertise the game for them but the very fact they did gave me a clear indication that they no longer have any intentions of continuing their DBZ Abridged work to season 4 despite their promises which I personally see it coming when they cancelled Bojack's abridged movie even though all other movies have been abridged by them.

* Tropers/{{Falconwing}}: I'll be the first to admit I didn't care for episode 44, I mean it had some decent jokes, but nothing really funny enough to reward repeated watching... Then came the ending... Oh dear lord the ending. Just a series of GoryDiscretionShots over the sound of Cell slaughtering the people in a radio station. I watch DBZA to laugh, and be entertained... This was just uncomfortable and unpleasant to watch. (And keep in mind I watch Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, and had no problem with them making comedy out of such material because it actually worked given the source material.) Left a bad taste in my mouth

* FullmetalHeart20: Most of episode 55 was great, except for one bit at the end. Chi Chi kicks Gohan and Krillin out so Goku could "pay her back" with sex, all the while Goku asks her to wait. The whole thing has some uncomfortable DoubleStandardRape and EntitledtoHaveYou elements.

* Tropers/Awesomekid42: I really enjoy the annual [=DBCember=] countdowns, and for the most part, Top 12 Dragon Ball Fights was no exception. But whenever I watch it, there's always one entry that sticks out like a sore thumb. Specifically, their entry on Kid Goku vs Tien. It's not like they said anything that angered or annoyed me. Rather, the way they go about the entry itself is dull and uninspired. The vast majority of the segment is them simply recaping what happens in the fight, them only going over the positives of the fight at the beginning (and even then, it's more about positives of the character Tien rather than the fight itself) and briefly at the end when talking about Goku getting ringed-out. The rest of it was just a stretched out play-by-play which goes on for way longer than it needs to. There were other entries in the countdown where they talked about how the fight played out like their Piccolo vs Android 17 segment, but they mixed it in with analysis and elaboration for why the entry was on the list. Here? The entry is mostly just a summary. Definitey the weakest point of the countdown.

* fluffything: I happen to be a fan of ''Dragon Ball Abridged'' and find it to be a rather funny series. But, there's a moment in the otherwise hilarious Episode 30 three-parter that just left me staring in disbelief. Long story short, it's the scene where the Namekians brutally murder Guru after finding out he had tricked them into genocide. Where do I start? First of all, it's way too dark, even for the humor of the series. Second, I know Guru is supposed to be a {{Jerkass}} and the EvilTwin of Lord Slug in this parody series, but, there's [[LaughablyEvil hilariously dickish]] and then there's about as hilarious as being kicked in the face. One is really enjoyable, the other leaves you in pain and wondering what you did to deserve it. Guess which one Creator/TeamFourStar went for.

** Redaka: Seconded. While I love TFS, I dislike how Yamcha is never given a break. I mean sure Krillin is often made the ButtMonkey but even he has some moments of awesome from time to time e.g. killing imperfect cell but Yamcha never has anything good happen to him. He didn't even get a happy ending in the Christmas Tree of Might like the others. It's funny when misfortune befalls a horrible character but seeing a relatively nice character get hurt all the time eventually becomes more sad than funny.
** JacksonJin: In general, the same. That said while the tipping point was the suicide joke in Episode 34, it was calling excessive attention to Yamcha's undignified despair-inducing death in the Movie Breakdown for History of Trunks that went above and beyond for me. There's making a joke in horrible taste, then there's milking it for all it's rancid, anxiety-inducing, seriously damaging "worth". I'm gonna go watch 18 break Vegeta's arms and Cooler punch him in the dick for a half hour to get past this.
** Loekman3: Yamcha has officially been Yamchae'd again in The World's Strongest when he suddenly appeared in the movie regarding the issue of Biomen confusion, only for him to be self-destructed by one of them yet again. That's not funny to me, it felt awkward and shoehorned. It's like the only reason he even appeared is just so that they make Yamcha suffer even more than what is acceptable. As JacksonJin once said, there's making a joke in horrible taste, then there's milking it for all it's rancid, anxiety-inducing, seriously damaging "worth". And TFS chose the latter.

* Tropers/{{ShiningDestinyKai}}: In Episode 51, we see the return of the hilarious Solar Flare freeze-frame image gag. So what crazy picture did TFS decide to sneak in this time? A cropped image of DBZ porn featuring Android 18 being raped by 2nd Form Cell. Really guys? Unlike the previous examples of this gag which were humorous because they used very over the top images (like a photoshopped Freeza in the shower) this one hits far too close to home and becomes really uncomfortable and unfunny. Even Kaiser during the episode breakdown seems really uncomfortable talking about this part and quickly glosses over it.

* Shadow200: I love DBZ Abridged and other series Team Four Star has done, but I dislike the way they are doing Goku and his attitude towards his family, especially in the Broly special, given how it has him being worse than usual showing no regards at all to them and Chi-Chi coldly demanding a divorce at the end after having finally have enough. I know its a joke and exaggerating his character, but that's something they shouldn't have thought about doing. Hopefully they make up for it in the Cell Games.

* SilverHairedFreak25: One of the Crusaders' subfactions in ''Hellsing Ultimate Abridged'' was made into the Salvation Army. My family has been a part of them for a couple generations, and seeing their logo plastered on essentially a KKK hood was just in poor taste, especially when the real Salvation Army is a charity organization.

* Tropers/MysteriousMrX: I am deeply perturbed by a certain scene in their World's Strongest Abridged: The Death of Blub Blub. He's depicted as a cuddly being created for hugs and helping the elderly, only to have Goku tear a hole through him and is left to die a slow, cold, and painful death. What's absolutely disgusting is how apathetic the characters in the film are towards such an innocent harmless being, and we are expected to find this funny? I don't.

It's because of this scene that I have been turned off to a lot of the show's humor in the episodes and movies that have been released since this film. The series just no longer amuses me like it did before, not so long as I remember that poor FriendToAllLivingThings just laying there are dying in a puddle of his own tears. BlackComedy/"Satire" is no excuse for teasing and torturing such a poor creature to death for kicks.

* Their running gag in the Dream Drop Distance stream where they call knocking bits out of the cup aborting it. I'm pro choice, and I found the whole thing distasteful. There's no humor in the topic and it was completely out of nowhere.

* Loekman3: When TFS Gaming release ''Renegade for Life'' for ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'', I was excited to watch how TFS Vegeta will react to the gameplay but then the opening ruined much of my excitement by having Lanipator go onto a 5-minute long speech about this worthless tupperware Android RPG that everyone should play.

* Fullmetal Heart 20: The soundboard. That fucking soundboard. All it seems to be used for is making the same 2 poorly timed jokes per series. It wasn't funny the first time you played "SUBMIT!", and it didn't get any better.

* Hylian-Highwind: My biggest issue with this is that a lot of the jokes just feel like low-hanging fruit. Aerith is the Flower Girl, so she's zany and ditzy, while Tifa as the monk is the jerkish and semi-abusive friend to Cloud (how would this characterization have gone if you swapped the genders in the writing stage?). Cloud is the push-over hero because I guess that's funny knowing his backstory was in fact that of a loser (but really it's just because every abridged series has an idiot MC). One of the things that made Aerith interesting, for example, was that she was the spunky and at times crass girl despite her appearances, while the brawler and skimpily dressed Tifa was more shy and reserved as TheHeart, at least by comparison. It takes characterizations that were believably subversive and nuanced and just turned them into surface level tropes, judging a book by its cover, as it may be.

* Animeking1108: As much as Tifa's depiction rubs me the wrong way, what really gets me is Aerith. On the one hand, it's nice that not everybody in this series is a JerkAss, but on the other, she's shown to be a borderline saint who is so perfect for Cloud. The only person who hates her at first is Tifa, but it's out of jealousy rather than a legitimate grudge or malice. Even then, she warms up to her and even [[spoiler: leaves flowers for her after she dies]]. Forgive me if I think the writers [[CreatorsPest despise Tifa]] and [[CreatorsPet adore Aerith]], but this just reeks of DieForOurShip by salty Clerith shippers.
