A Something Witty Production

[pinkfactory]

Kirito is literally just that minecraft youtuber that says hey guys I did some off camera grinding and appears with full enchanted netherite

[verisad]

SAOA culture is rewatching the whole series every time a new episode comes out

[LoLMasrr]

"Can 2020 Get any worse"
June: "And the sky is bleeding."

[mortal]

To think we are past the “iPhone 15” banner at spawn is scary

[KianaWolf]

"Much like World of Warcraft, none of you are here by choice anymore."
Ah, the joke that gets funnier every time.

[shrmpsush]

Klein: "Come on man, it's NerveGear, I can't just Alt+F4 this shit!"

Also Klein: *Tries to pull off the helmet*

[Emilie_erm]

I just realized that Balls never got his pizza

[dlm]

“Hey maybe I could rewatch the first episode of SAOA while I’m bored”
Me 5 minutes later:
“Whelp time to rewatch the entire series a 25th time”

[drowninginstardust]

“Much like the World of Warcraft, you’re not here by choice anymore.”

*sigh* ... yeah..

[TheArmyOfOne]

The plot twist of the censored swears just being the profanity filter was a better plot twist than anything that happened in the original.

[heyitsmeskylar]

honestly tho, it's impressive that kirito was able to come up with a story on the spot that lasted 5 hours

[imbadatnames]

18 just dropped, time to rewatch the whole series

[HumanMordecai]

"Shut up! Here, I have power!"
That's it. That's his entire character arc.

[yisraelkatz]

How Kayaba accidentally disabled his own audio instead of everyone else's means so much more now with online video conferences in 2020. Legit happened to a professor in a class I watched.

[cameronschmid]

Best line of the whole first episode:
“Kirito? You look so.... young”
“And you look less hairy, Balls.”
“My name is Klein!”
“He he, no it’s not.”

[tulipkitten]

Rewatching this episode feels different when you realize the "hahaha ha hahaha haha... ha" on the "Log Out" button was probably a symptom of the creator's psychotic break due to video game industry crunch time.

[atlasprime]

So basically, BallsDeep69 got stuck in this death-game because he decided to listened to Kurt’s pebble story.

[austinclifford]

the most unrealistic part of SAO is a day one launch with no 25gb update to patch the bugs.

[weird_vulpix]

"Sometimes, things are born. They live. And then they stop. Forever."

[LuizAlleman]

Seeing a screenshot of YouTube in lightmode makes me question how any of us made it through those days. Also, still funny after 10 years.
