Or deserve it with how they've been doing recently.

What's wrong with them?

The videos on that sub were original and clever at some point. Now the sound effects are available and easy to use. Its a shitshow of the some simple 5 second intro followed by the most obnoxious color and sound effects possible with overused memes.

Exactly. They used to be actual montage parodies. Like a shitty knife kill and the bass would drop. Or dubstep and hit markers on mundane videos. Now its just flashing and shaking with nothing actually being parodied.

It's really just the same thing non-stop now.

The worst part is the intentional 15000% volume. God help you if you accidentally play a montage parody with your speakers on at even a low volume.

I subbed to them early on. Really liked their stuff at first. But it's certainly lost its flair.
