The Legend of Ablb is a web series done by Bashe86. It stars Renamon, of Digimon Tamers fame, and later Jake "Razor" Clawson of SWAT Kats fame. It began in December of 2008 and ended in June of 2009, spanning 105 episodes. The characters' voices are provided by the text-to-speech program Speakonia and the animation is very, very limited in that every shot of the character is the only frame they have, except for differing facial expressions on occasion.
Most episodes involve Renamon and Razor and sometimes Mega Man X doing silly things with little to no consistency between them. Most of the jokes and references are inside jokes between the creator and his friends.
The series can be watched here.
Ablb provides examples of:
- Arm Cannon - All the Mega Man characters.
- Author Avatar - Joey Bill
- Back for the Dead - Ultra Brutal Metal Guy
- Back from the Dead - Mega Man X and Chance
- Berserk Button - Don't call Razor Jake (he gets over it though). And don't even think about insulting the band Razor. Even if he's not within hearing distance.

- Big Bad - Ceeb
- Big Damn Heroes - X's first appearance.
- Zero in episode 81.
- Chance in Episode 88.
- Bittersweet Ending - Ceeb is defeated for good, but not before he kills Razor.
- Black Comedy Rape - blurs the line between this and Rape as Drama in the first few episodes. Played straight in later ones.
- Blatant Lies - Radical Squadron's songs are completely original and totally not stolen from other bands.
- Breather Episode - Episode 81, kind of.
- Camp Gay - Ceeb, Koinu-kun, Adam Wan, Loruke, Dr. Viper
- The Cavalry Arrives Late - Happens twice: when Mega Man X warms Renamon about German Renamon and when real!Rika warns Renamon about fake!Rika.
- Cerebus Roller Coaster - The series gets serious-ish as early episode 15, in which Megaman breaks it off with Renamon, but serious story arcs become more frequent around episode 52, in which the Tremblay Brothers subplot starts.
- Cluster F-Bomb
- Embarrassing Middle Name - Jacob Samantha Clawson.
- Face–Heel Turn - Mega Man
- Gory Discretion Shot - When Felina kills Carlos in episode 41. It was apparently so gruesome that even Razor and X were disturbed, and it made Renamon vomit.

- Jerkass - Gordon Ramsay
- Nonindicative Name

- People busting into Renamon's house instead of using the door.
- "You're busted!" *BOOM!* "Good graphics, bro."

- Renamon's screech
- "Poop in a diaper and eat the diaper and poop out the diaper and eat the diaper again."
- Screams Like a Little Girl - Carlos: "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!"
- Share Phrase - "No problem, bro." (Occasionally "bro" is switched for "sis")
- Shout-Out - Tons of them.
- Squick - Hilariously invoked by Razor in episode 77 in response to John Settere.Razor: Never in my life have I been more disgusted. Not even when Chance threw up on my dick. Not even when I fell face first into a pile of dog shit. Not even when I walked in on Mayor Manx having sex with Commander Feral having sex with Johnny the Camera Guy having sex with Ann Gora having sex with a mop. Not even when I watched the Video Games music video by Blackout Band. You are an abomination of mankind, and I am going to make sure you never plague the decency of humanity ever again with your disgusting ways. Eat shit and die.
- Status Quo Is God - most of the time anyway.
- Straight Gay - Chance
- Stylistic Suck - Doesn't stop it from being fucking hilarious though.
- Surfer Dude - Kyle
- Suspiciously Specific Denial
- Synthetic Voice Actor - Everybody except for Joey Bill and Kyle on one occasion.
- Take That! - Metalcore, Dragonforce, WMG and the obnoxious parts of the Furry Fandom are the most frequent targets.
- There Was a Door - Much to Renamon's annoyance.
- Deconstructed in episode 57. Mega Man X busts through the door and ends up killing Rika. Reconstructed the next episode, as he actually killed Rika's evil clone, who was actually going to kill Renamon.
- They Killed Kenny Again - Happens to everybody at least once.
- Lampshaded by X in episode 32.
X: I guess getting resurrected for no reason is popular around these parts. - Vomit Discretion Shot - Whenever somebody sees something exceptionally disgusting.
- Your Head Asplode - The way everybody gets killed.
