4[[http://retribution.fm The Retributionists]] are a less than professional panel of critics who, armed only with sarcasm and colored fonts, produce humorous reviews of the worst stories on the internet. While there is a predominant focus on fanfiction, these critics have also covered original fiction, art, and an instruction manual from IKEA.

8* DeadpanSnarker: Often times these critics can't take each other seriously, let alone the story.
9* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MST MST]]: The Retributionists rose from the ashes of Mystery Science Theater and Fan Fiction Friday, and as such, it bears many similarities to the two series.
10* RunningGag: From one liners to gifs, these critics know the meaning of callback.
11* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Satire Satire]]: Sometimes it’s not enough to point out that a story is bad; sometimes a story's badness can only be explained my emulating it.
