I'm trying to think of what to call this, because my friend thinks it's an attempt to rip on TPM, in vein with a RedLetterMedia review or something.

I know Frink has a genuine affection for TPM, so it's not that.  I was trying to think of how this got started... and this is what I came to.

It's sort of a Parody of fan edits.  Instead of trying to remove/add things that improve the experience... it's intentionally adding/removing things that make the experience... a parody.  I was going to say bad, but that's not it exactly.  It's sort of intentionally bad for comedic effect, which is not the same thing as 'bad'.

I think of Adywan's Revisited effort as "The Special Editions Done Right" and I think of George's SE effort as "The Special Editions Done... " (I can't finish that sentence.)

So... to sum: TRM: A Special Edition Gone Horribly, Horribly, Right
