The thing is while you’re right when SMG4 DOES have to branch out every once in a while, it’s gotten to a point where bloopers have wandered from what the original purpose is.

The Anime Arc, for instance. The whole time, it was serious, deviated from what SMG4 bloopers normally signify, and generally didn’t accomplish much for its entire duration. A lot of characters had their traits skewed. For example, Peach was so strict on anime being banned, now with an unconvincing and unfulfilling song by Fishy she actually removes the rules? Not what the buildup’s supposed to be. Tari and Bob are essentially purposeless, making zero impact in the plot. Some of the episodes are essentially filler and trivial, which includes Lemonade Stand, Bootcamp, Showdown, Experiment, and the Inkling Disappearances. It doesn’t stick to the main themes, leading to valuable time being wasted.

Even in 2018, there were a lot of episodes that were serious but not memorable: Mario Purge, Most Important Thing, and Mad Mario. They lacked to provoke any significant emotion, and quite frankly missed some key moments of potentially becoming more serious/funny.
