In 2018,SMG4 has became really boring.

Nowadays, the series doesn't has crude/original/random jokes and content like it used to. Back then, SMG4 videos used to make me laugh since they had well-made content and retardedness, randomness and originality were combined giving funny results many times (SMG4's 2012 - 2013 videos were good as well, despite lacking BGM, SFX and other stuff). Currently, SMG4 videos are really boring, and most of the jokes are taken from some other media that anyone has most likely seen or blander versions of older video jokes. Nowadays, SMG4 unexpectedly took a turn to direct his videos to younger audiences (7 - 10 year olds,or people that act like having said age) without saying anything about it, this supported by the comment section, most of the comments being stuff like "[INSERT SCENE HERE] OMG THAT WAS SO FUNNY LOL I DIED XD/😂😂😂" (1.Caps Lock in every word, expressions such as the one mentioned above, using lots of laugh (😂) emojis, and being literally cringy)This is just a example,although i've seen some comments similar to this). Also, the series is becoming too centered to Meggy (Has anyone realized that recently, Meggy appears in most of the recent episodes, her scenes are always well-edited, and her model looks 10 times more detailed than every other character), to the point she's starting to become nearly like the main character instead of Mario. Also "spreads the memes", and there are either no memes or shitty memes in his videos. (The plus side of this is that you won't see retarded children spamming unfunny things to "be funny", according to them (Attempting to make others laugh via overusing jokes/memes won't suceed (Will just make things worse), the reason why memes are bound to "die" and SMG4's bland and repetitive humor make it boring)).

Back in 2016 and years below, SMG4 used to make original jokes, and had crude humor (that never went overboard) that made it fun to watch, unlike the bland/boring humor it has nowadays. Also since 2017, SMG4 has been overusing GMOD, like if he was becoming too lazy nowadays to use Vegas and stuff to put some effort and good visual quality on his videos, and instead uses GMOD to make the visuals really cringy (Saki's model looks terrible tbh) and put "funny faces" to "amuse" others. Also SMG4 completely forgot about the other subseries he used to make, such as Sonic the Derphog (Last StD vid was in mid-2016), Guards n' Retards (Last Gn'R vid was in mid-2017), The Wacky Wario Bros (Last TWWB vid was in early/mid-2016), Super Minecraft 64 bloopers (Last SMine64 vid was in 2014), Super Pokemans 64 (Last SP64 vid was in mid/late-2015), and some others i may be forgetting here as well.

Not only the crappy humor, but some character personalities have been heavily changed. Mario is much less random and retarded, and really bland, Luigi is really wholesome and unfunny nowadays, Peach used to be always pissed off due to Mario's retardedness, but nowadays, she barely appears, and when she does, is mainly talking and some other bland crap sometimes, Toad still hates everything, but makes really short and few appearances, Bowser isn't the "Active 24/7 Princess Kidnapper" anymore, Steve is the retarded one, literally even more retarded than Mario before, but barely appears and isn't really comical. Boopkins is like Luigi, but often acts like a little child, Bob has remained similar, but less crude than before, Meggy is the "cool one", everyone likes her and the "badass moves" she does (That has been nearly the same "badass" things since her debut), and others are wholesome towards her.all.the.time. And Saki is the yandere-ish one that just wants others to like her.

The well-known characters, nowadays can be placed in 3 categories as well: Active, dying, and dead. Active are the ones that appear most of the time, Dying are those that make really few apparitions and aren't seen like actually important, and dead is those that don't appear anymore, and if they do, they don't have any important role in the video.<br/{Active:Mario, Meggy, Luigi, Boopkins, Jeeves (The fork dude), Saki, Bob, SMG4 Dying:Steve, Teletubbies, Peach, Bowser, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Kirby, SMG3 (Although SMG3 and Kirby lean more to the Dead Category) Dead:Dedede, the whole Guards n'retards cast, E.Gadd, every character from Sonic the Derphog, Pokemons, every character that appeared from 2015 and below, Toadette, Toadsworth

All of this personality and stuff changes make 2018 SMG4 really bland and boring, to the point other "PG" series are far better. The good characters also have either disappeared, putted with far less importance than before, or their personalities got drastically changed to the point they become bad. Watching "NEW SMG4 videos" nowadays isn't even worth it, and is far better watching 2016 and below videos if you want real quality and funny stuff

Although the one i mainly blame isn't SMG4 (Other than the GMOD overuse, where you can actually blame him for that), but youtube and their retarded policies (The "No making PG-13 or above parodies of kid-friendly series, even if said content is for comedy purposes" policy, which only helped to try to control Super Mario Logan, but destroyed a lot of YT channels instead). Thanks to them, SMG4 has became a boring PG show instead of the good old PG-13 SMG4 i used to love. If i would be like SMG4, i would simply move out of Youtube, tell so to my fans in many ways (About section, a video, channel thumbnail, other social media, etc), and continue with the PG-13 stuff (Tbh, Youtube's popularity has gone over their heads, and now they think they can freely put literally stupid restrictions, instead of handling better their "recommended videos section" to avoid problems, and leaving the typical "no nudity/gore/racism/hate towards something (i.e: a specific religion)" restrictions you see everywhere else. YT nowadays doesn't deserve to be popular)... I 100% agree, Except remove Dedede and Kirby because they were just few time appearances, and move SMG3 to alive and add Tari.

Also, I don't think YT is too mainly blame for the modern episodes, I mean there are some older episodes that don't have adult humor, yet they are still funny(Black Star, Toadass assination, etc.)

My main issues are the new characters(Including Bob and Boopkins) removal of old characters(Peach and Yoshi and Steve), repetitve plots, no more word based humor, and overusage of Gmod.
