The BIGGEST Downgrades Ever...
10:06 Share

The biggest downgrades of all time. Many things in our day-to-day lives have unfortunately fallen off or just completely took a nosedive in quality. And when it comes to falling off, you know me, rent still hasn't been paid yet. So you already know I gotta make this video. And I think it's safe to start with Fortnite.

I tried playing Fortnite yesterday and that shit is complete buns compared to what it used to be. Like Epic Games has always added crazy ass weapons to the game and they even added like these medallions. One of them literally turns you invisible if you're standing still or you're crouched. They just want to make the skill gap for this game completely non-existent. Like me personally, I miss the days of when you had a scar, you're automatically winning the game.

And the reason why Fortnite spiked in the player count last year is because everybody came back to OG Fortnite. I had to come back because, well, it was just too good to miss. It was like an event, bro. All my friends started playing Fortnite again. It felt like 2018, 2019 all over again. Some of you might be wondering, well, when did it fall off? As soon as they added mechs to the game.

These mechs were just overpowered and broken. I don't know who at Epic Games saw this and was like, you know what? This is completely fair and balanced. And playing in the mech was like the only way to really get wins. And whenever I would play in a mech, it was boring. Like I just didn't like the game. It just felt way too easy. To give you an analogy, it's like dunking on a Lil' Tykes. ABC Wednesdays. Y'all can play all day. We want books. We

Bro, that's what it felt like. But yeah, bro, enough of Fortnite. We got to talk about one of the saddest downfalls of our generation. Megamind. It's just really unfortunate. I really did like the first movie when it came out. Maybe I overhyped it a little bit because I was a little ass kid, but who knows? But anyways, I was a little kid. Obviously, I thought Megamind was a cinematic masterpiece. Okay, so seeing the second one coming in 2024, I was ready for an upgrade. Okay, I wanted this shit to be better than Megamind 1.

But I was unfortunately let down. This movie was so terrible. Throughout the entire movie, Megamind had this stand that was following him. I don't know what that adds to the movie. Just absolutely nothing. Her voice was just extremely annoying and I just couldn't take it when I was trying to watch the movie.

But I'm pretty sure Megamind 2 didn't even touch theaters. I mean, considering the 2.4 out of 10 rating on IMDB. This shit was not well received at all. But basically, the plot of this movie, Megamind's former villain team returned. And even though he was crowned as the hero of his city, he now had to keep up an evil appearance. And then later had to stop his former teammates from launching the city to the moon. There you go. I just saved you an hour.

And trust me, that is not worth my hour. And of course, I waste a lot of time. So I don't know how valuable the hour really is. But you know what I mean, though? I would say I'm a D1 procrastinator. But there were many other terrible sequels. Let me know if you guys want to actually see a video about that. But we also got to talk about what really matters. Reboots. Okay, reboots, never a good thing. Okay, they just always suck. Maybe there's some exceptions. I don't know.

They brought Caillou back on Peacock. That shit sucks. Nobody's watching it. No one wants to watch a spoiled brat scream on the floor and roll around crying for hours. But hey, at least it stayed true to its shitty nature. But Velma! What the hell was Velma? That shit was terrible. You're telling me you got rid of everything that was good about Scooby-Doo and you made Velma and you just expected that shit to be received well. They even got rid of Scooby-Doo. Like why are you getting rid of him?

I can't even speak straight. That's how little sense this shit makes to me. You look at the icon of your show and you're like, you know what? Let's get rid of this guy. He sucks. Like why? What did Scooby-Doo do to you? I would understand if it was Scrappy-Doo. Like please get rid of him. He sucks. But why Scooby-Doo? I don't get it. Apparently Velma has a second season in the works. And honestly, the only reason why people watched it is because they wanted to see how shit it was. Nobody was genuinely watching Velma to be like, oh man.

Very invested in the divine work of this television masterpiece. Nobody is saying that. That shit was terrible. It got a 1.6 rating on IMDB. That's what happens when they change everything about characters from your childhood and they turn it into some stupid shit, alright? Nobody likes it. Okay, but another reboot that... I mean, I liked the reboot as a kid, but now that I look back on it, I'm like, this shit was kind of terrible.

I really don't know why I like this show. Teen Titans Go. Yeah, that was a huge downgrade from the original. I mean, considering nobody who worked on the original show worked on Teen Titans Go at all. And the people who worked on Teen Titans Go didn't even know

anything about the original show. Teen Titans Go, it wasn't really well received by like the general public. Does that audience contain most people with a brain? But again, I was a little ass kid. I was like nine or some shit. I just saw the flashing colors and goofy ass shenanigans. And I'm like, you know what, bro? This is my type of show.

But now I'm like the original was way better. I don't even know why I like this shit. And a lot of the episodes of Teen Titans Go, it just had nothing to do with fighting crime or being heroes. A lot of it was just stupid shit that didn't even matter. And it was airing literally almost 24-7. So people were gonna get tired of it. I feel like compared to regular show, Gumball and Adventure Time. I mean...

I feel like Teen Titans Go just doesn't even touch those shows. And of course, nowadays, everything is changing. As technology evolves, you know, we gotta evolve with it. So for whatever reasons, companies just decided to change their mascots and logos completely. Whether it was due to just cancel culture or for whatever reason, they just wanted to change it. And how I see it is, if it's not broke, don't even fucking think about it.

fix it why are you even trying to change the logo i don't know why they felt the need to disrespect the goat like that like you're wasting your time just to have a poorly received redesign i did not see the vision with this change at all they did bro foul i i don't know i don't get it why change it

Now I'm just going to look at a box of Froot Loops and be disappointed, you know, because it just doesn't hit as much. And it doesn't stop there, bro. Some companies completely got rid of their mascot altogether, which is literally the face of the entire company. I don't understand why they're getting rid of it. Like, unfortunately, they got rid of my boy, Uncle Ben. Like, why, bro? What the

Now it's Ben Originals. Like, what? What do you mean Ben Originals? Like, this shit's trash. And they also got rid of Aunt Jemima, too, for whatever reason. They didn't even keep the name Jemima at all. They didn't call it, like, Jemima Syrup or Jemima's Homemade Syrup or some shit. They called it Pearl.

Pearl Milling Company. This has got to be one of the worst mascot downgrades I have ever seen, bro. What the hell? But I mean, to be fair though, some mascots needed an upgrade. Like what the fuck was this Apple Jacks mascot, bro? But a lot of the times it's just good how it is. Like it really doesn't need a redesign. In which, okay, you know, that first Apple Jacks change was needed. But why this change? This shit is terrible. Like what the

They pretty much just sucked the life out of it. Pause. And then transformed it into like this corporate ass design. Like what the hell is this? I've never been more disappointed in my life, bro. Like this is such a shitty redesign. One of the most foul instances of this I've ever seen. The Pringles guy. I will miss the luscious mustache that he had. The W haircut. I'll miss it all. The Pringles guy. You know, he had some life to him. Then they just shaved all his hair off. Like what happened? And well, let me tell you what happened.

happened. Companies started this trend where they wanted to do a quote, oversimplified logo. And basically where they'd take the logo and make it look more like a fucking tech company rather than a chip company. And I'm pretty sure this trend started in like 2019, 2020. That's why I wanted to go over not only company mascots, but company logos. They're fucking terrible. Firefox,

What happened again? It literally looks like a carbon copy of microsoft edge now gap Like what the hell do they even do here? Literally, it's just aerial text right next to a blue square Like i'm certainly not rocking gap anymore if it's gonna look like this I used to be a gap warrior, bro. I had all gap. I had the gap hoodie gap sweatpants I even had gap socks gap underwear. Okay, I didn't have that. That was a lie when I was a kid I'd rock this brand all the time

This change was so weird, in fact, that they actually rechanged it six days later. Which they probably should have thought about that more before they actually published it. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have ran into that problem. I mean, don't they spend like thousands of dollars a year on marketing? Like, what are these companies spending for, bro? The new logos are shit. Look at Schmuckers. They got rid of the beautiful strawberries.

The text and logo design that kind of looks like it'd be in like your grandmother's cookbook or some shit. And they changed it to this. It just looks like a bunch of leaves now. This shit is a huge downgrade. Like they just got straight up finessed by their marketing team, bro. I don't know what they're doing. Look at the new Taco Bell logo. I mean, Taco Bell is already pretty shit to begin with. I really don't like it. That shit just gives me explosive diarrhea every time I go there. So I will definitely not be getting Taco Bell.

But honestly, this is not the worst one I've seen. But I don't know why they had to take the color away. But one thing I cannot let slide. The PS5 Pro. I'm not paying $700 for that shit. In no world, you will see me coughing up $700 for that garbage. I would much rather just buy a PS5. Like,

What the fuck is the point of getting the PS5 Pro? And where the PS5 Pro actually has a cooling system and a new GPU. Dog, I don't care what that shit has. It's not worth the 700 bucks. So in my eyes, I see this shit as a downgrade. I feel like I'd just be better off saving the money and getting a PS5. All right, what do I need the cooling system for?

And you know what? I think a lot of people agree with me on this one because it is the most disliked console reveal on YouTube. And oh, did I mention? That shit doesn't even have a fucking disk drive. Are you kidding me? I wish I could yell louder, but it's like one in the morning right now.

And it doesn't even look any different either. Like it literally looks like the PS5. Like it's not bigger in size. It doesn't look more like a unit of a console. Nothing. There's nothing about the PS5 Pro that stands out. And this shit is just absolutely terrible.
