https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZyTzXbmDY3gNew HFIL episode.
I was somewhat optimistic about their previous episodes, seeing potential there for the characters interacting and all the shenanigans they could have.
But this episode is by far the worst. Lots of gay jokes, Frog-Ginyu tries to rape Cell in his sleep, „Bussy“…I wonder when they‘ll introduce the inevitable episode about absent father-figures.
Also, Lanipator looks like shit.
I didn't think it was terrible. It was dumb, I don't get why Ginyu is still a frog when it was his soul in a different body, and nothing much happens... but I feel like it's about the same as the other episodes.

What offended me was the fact that the ad took up half the fucking video.
 
Lanipator looks like shit.
I think he's going through a midlife crisis and desperately trying to look like someone who hasn't spent the last 10+ years making silly voices on the internet and yelling while playing video games. Which isn't completely a bad thing, he's at least in the best shape of any of them now, it's just that "Burnout Hipster Coffee Shop Guitarist c.1995" isn't a good look either.
 
Someone remind me in a month to check, but I have a strange feeling that views on the latest HFIL episode will be worse than the last one. Almost like people are slowly losing interest in their original skits.
lets compare them right now.
HFIL episode 1 has 3.1 million views after 10 months
HFIL episode 2 has 2 million views after 7 months
HFIL episode 3 has 1.7 million after 3 months
HFIL episode 4 has 700k views after 2 weeks.
theres defenitly a dip between 1 and 2, but 3 is on pace to match 1. if i could see general viewer statistics up from upload date to now, i can make a better calculation.

Oh God that drop. NAIL!
 
Cellcucks TFS can't cope that Daddy Toriyama just doesn't like Cell :story: But as someone else said, that's on the editors, not him. If they were such DB thespians, they'd kneel to Majin Buu, who did the multiple forms bad guy better. Hell, he even did the "not having an endgame" thing better! He destroyed Earth, and would have eventually destroyed everything, for shits n' giggles.
 
Updated the OP to add the team from their channel’s about section. At least it shows responsibilities.

Also, TFS is hiring.

It's been a month. Video is currently sitting at 815k. Just short of that 1M barrier.
1st HFIL: 3.1M
2nd HFIL: 2M
3rd HFIL: 1.7M
4th HFIL: 800K

Now, will they see this as a reason for why they should probably look for a new gravy train? Who knows, but audience attention is clearly waning.

Actually that makes me wonder on making Abridged shows based on modern shonen (since other genres tend to be too talky). Dragon Ball had a pretty small cast that makes dubbing pretty easy (with most villains dying to keep the roster short), but almost all shonen of last years had dozens of cast members, so dubbing those will be extremely hard in the long run.

Well, the last big hit was Sword Art Online Abridged, and the My Hero Academia craze seems to have come and gone, so I'm not sure what's the next big IP to tackle.
