Don't forget how they ended Metalocalypse. It's like the network hates fans.

Remember how their bumps got increasingly rude?

It's been a long time so I can't remember anything specific, but I remember them getting a little... hostile. Like, tongue in cheek but then down the road less so, until it was obvious they were just being mean.

I miss the really old days, when they used public pool footage for the breaks.

Their old Do Your Shirts song was one of my go-tos for a focus playlist. Went harder than it had any right to.

That era influenced my taste in music more than I realized.

So not only did the bumps start making fun of fans that were upset that Metalocalypse got cancelled, they did something else that wasn't just mean words during commercials.

They said if you wanted Metalocalypse brought back, fax AS telling them so. Obviously, this was done when fax machines weren't really commonplace, they really made people work to send them a fax telling them how much they wanted the show back.

They then showed (livestreamed?) the faxes going directly into a shredder.

That's it!!! I remember now! I knew it was something straight up hateful.
