Sword Art Online Abridged

I believe with my whole heart that these makers are just trying to poke fun the series, and tried to make a joke at every oppertunity they could. But somehow it surpasses normal expectations of an parody. This makes it a perfect case study.

But how did they manage it. they started to shuffle the caracters arround. And then they commited to these new caracters. All jokes remain in caracter and were often because of caracter. They even somehow managed to even let the main caracters to experience growth.

Next, they expended the theme of being in a computergame by making jokes about glithes, balancing, lag and other things.

And third, ofcourse just absolutely witty dialog and suppurp insults.
