User blog:SonictheHedgehogBoy200/It's time to say goodbye to Joke Battles

The writing has been on the wall for some time, but now ScrewAttack! has officially rubber-stamped it: Joke Battles are dead.

ScrewAttack! is no longer making Death Battles as a joke.

ScrewAttack's Joke Battles became the most famous Death Battles in history upon its 2011 debut, but jokes dwindled and eventually died after Season 4.

Now ScrewAttack's decision for Season 5 to not include Joke Battles makes more sense.

Feature: DEATH BATTLE! and the rise and fall of Joke Battles
The following feature is well worth a read if you're interested in the Joke Battles' demise.

On January 17, 2011, ScrewAttack! created the very first Joke Battle, under the name of Goomba VS Koopa. The next one is Yoshi VS Riptor, followed by Justin Bieber VS Rebecca Black, and eventually, Starscream VS Rainbow Dash. These Joke Battles appeared in Season 1.

The Joke Battle for Season 2 is Chuck Norris VS Segata Sanshiro, and the Joke Battle for Season 3 is its latest episode, Deadpool VS Pinkie Pie. Season 4's Smokey Bear VS McGruff the Crime Dog was the Rooster Teeth offering.

Conclusion
Unfortunately, ScrewAttack! has ceased production of new Joke Battles, not even the Season 5 Joke Battle under the name of Taylor Swift VS John Cena, which should have been scheduled for early 2018.

As far as ScrewAttack's concerned, it's more interested in "mixed reality" these days, but the Joke Battles live on inside the upcoming YouTube channel called "Joke Battle".
