You’ve probably never encountered a review show quite as entertaining as ‘Sequelitis.’ Sure, there are many [game-related web series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovable-games) to be found on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-ones-episodes), but ‘Sequelitis’ stands out from rest in that it features the ultra aggressive comedic humor and quirky animated characters of the show’s creator Egoraptor.

Though only two episodes have been produced, ‘Sequelitis’ is already garnering staggeringly high views. No doubt it has something to do with Egoraptor’s established brand of funnies coupled with genuine insight into what makes [video games enjoyable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yooka-replaylee). Did I forget to mention that the show’s hosted by an animated maroon-haired gamer who’s prone to spazzing out when delivering exposition to the viewer? Honestly, the character is so lovable in his outrageous behavior that anyone who enjoys laughing can find ‘Sequelitis’ accessible.
