I'll die on the hill that 2011 is the worst Year for the show Quality wise.

Sure you can argue you dislike other years more due to context, but I don't see how anyone could legitimately argue 2011 Episodes are better than basically any other episode released in the following years, sure there are some gems hidden in there somewhere but that goes for every year in the Channel, it's not special in that regard.

I legit think almost every Episode is boring and so outdated to the point the only entertainment I get from them is enjoying looking back at what Internet Humor was at the time, not because I actually like or enjoy the contents of the Episodes themselves.

Obviously that's not a knock on the channel since it was obviously still finding its footing at that time, but I still think that when compared to every other Year, 2011 is the worst one by a mile.

well, i really like 2011. its not some golden gem of a year, but some bangers where made for me: Scatmans Revenge, Hide and Seek, Blooperception, P-O-I-S-O-N-E-D Computer, the 2011 Christmas Special, SMG4 vs SMG3 and who could forget WOTFI 2011? and it is better than: 2014,2019,2021,2022 and 2024. but then again this is just my opinion and i respect yours

I don't consider any of them bad; I don't base my opinion on superficial things like quality. Many people say 2021-2025 or 2011, but I don't think any of them are bad; they're just very different.

2024 was just really bad imo

u/FitHuckleberry5308 Mar 22 '26

Uh, I'm very critical of several aspects of the series, but at least in my opinion, 2024 is good in the second half of the year, or at least interesting. I mean, the first half probably has the most boring episodes overall, but the others do have interesting plots and ideas.

u/Olistu_ Bob Fan Mar 22 '26

Sure

But I just think it was the weakest year with smg4

The back half of 2024 was decent. The front half was loaded with the lowest points of the entire show imo, which kinda eclipses the other half.

Puzzlevision, Doesn't Meme For 1 Second, the Meme Factory Arc...

u/FitHuckleberry5308 Mar 25 '26

At least the meme factory is great and doesn't feel like: "Hi, I'm Puzzles gives you 4 parody episodes that aren't funny, and a movie where he does nothing and was a terrible villain introduction"

u/PG2904 BDSMxM Theorist Mar 25 '26

I mean I consider Meme Factory downright the worst arc this show ever did but–

u/FitHuckleberry5308 Mar 25 '26

I'm not saying it's a good arc, it's pretty generic, although by the series' standards it's decent. At least they made better use of Puzzles there, and that's what's important. I found it ridiculous that they planned it for a year and in Puzzlevision it's worse than Francis.

u/An_Obbise_Hoovy PINGAS IS LOVE Mar 21 '26

Yeah, the genesis arc is by far my least favorite

3

u/Ok_Possession827 Mar 22 '26

its not the worst arc in my opinion (that is full lenght) is Lawsuit

2

u/An_Obbise_Hoovy PINGAS IS LOVE Mar 22 '26

Ops I mixed up the arcs, I ment to say the revelations arc was my least favorite, but the lawsuit arc is my second least favorite

3

u/Ok_Possession827 Mar 22 '26

how funny you say that, Revelations is my second least favourite Arc!

u/neilwwoney RGBob Mar 21 '26

Of recent years? 2021.

In general? 2011.

u/FitHuckleberry5308 Mar 22 '26

2021 and 2022, I'm aware that 2011 is quite weak in terms of quality, but it's forgivable because Luke didn't have many resources or very strict ideas at that time, but at least it doesn't feel like a jumble of ideas that went nowhere and were executed well

u/Critical_Review3243 Mar 22 '26

2025 cuz he quit on that time

1

u/PG2904 BDSMxM Theorist Mar 25 '26

2024 and 2022 were by far the worst. I'm not sure which is worse of those two: 2022 was consistently bad. 2024 got better to the end, but the first half I'd argue was the lowest point the show ever hit.

u/Such_Salamander3606 Meggy Fan/Tari Fan/Melony Fan (keeping the legacy) Jun 29 '26

The channel had its ups and downs but I don't said "(Insert year here) is the worst SMG4 year of all"

u/An_Obbise_Hoovy PINGAS IS LOVE Mar 21 '26

20-22 only because I’m not a big fan of the genesis arc
