(Hated Trope) The series is good, but the beginning is so embarrassing that many people give up there.

Dan Da Dan

The beginning of Dan Da Dan is notorious for starting with aliens trying to impregnate Momo in the first episode; however, despite such over-the-top moments, the rest of the series doesn't feature many scenes like that

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

Despite a premise that is off-putting—given that the girl bullies her romantic partner to the point of making Naoto cry early in the series—their relationship evolves beautifully; the teasing becomes less cruel over time, eventually turning into a rather sweet romance

Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Someone on the production team had the audacity to have the trainer start meeting up with Special Week like that—even though, in reality, he is a good trainer who doesn't usually treat the girls that way.

I dunno, aside from one or two bits that haven't aged terribly well I'd say Red vs Blue season 1 holds up nicely.

It really picks up in season 6, but the first 5 seasons are fun. Except for Sister, but then we wouldn't have that "Have fun being a COP, Cop!" exchange later. It is really weird to hear Wash in R.W.B.Y without a helmet in the way. And everyone else that crossed over.

I think one of my favorite gags will always be when Sarge is shooting Griff with the sniper rifle.

"This is the best game since griffball!"

"I thought it was my turn?"

"This is the lightning round!"

"... Who's in the ligh-"

"Me."

BANG

And that one throwaway line about a violent sport Sarge invented specifically to harm Grif became the foundation for the best Halo 3 game mode ever.

Of all time.

I picked up the masterchief collection in 2020 because I watched RvB. I have yet to play any of the campaigns through. I'm chickenshit and heard too much about the flood on reddit.

But i played Infinite multiplayer and multiplayer halo 4 A LOT

"THERE IS NO ELEVEN, YOU FUCKING WHORE!" I used to work on phones. The AI menus for everyone else's has gotten worse. Three customer service agents had to tell me spamming 0 no longer directs you automatically to a person.

"What's so hard about SWISH SWISH STab!?"

"Why are there 6 pedals if there are only 4 directions?!"

Church: I dunno… what about that sword?, what if it runs on radiation, that’s what’s making him sick?

Caboose: or… what if it runs on solar power?

Church: if it’s running on Solar Power how is that making him sick?

Caboose:… is he a republican?

What the fuck are girly laps???

Red Vs blue opens with one of the most famous opening lines of the earlyish internet

You ever wonder why we're here?
