I think a big problem is people like Linkara don't really want to write comedies, they want to write straight-faced wish fulfillment power fantasies where they are the strongest\smartest\wittiest\most tortured and everybody idolizes them, and they use the argument "it's a parody, wacky lolrandom things are bound to happen" as a crutch and an excuse for their shortcomings in writing, acting and general creative skills, even when their feeble little plots are supposed to be super cereal. You see this a lot in fan fiction as well.The Missingno twist also really felt like a last minute writing decision he made because IIRC, the Missingno reveal was in the final episode of the arc. So he probably had months of work put into this arc, and yet saw nothing wrong with "The new villain will be Missingno, the Pokemon glitch". In retrospect, this was just a sign of things to come, considering that in the future, he becomes a Power Ranger, a Power Ranger OC and used Pyramid Head as a Pokemon (that last one sounds like a joke, but isn't, look it up).
