Nippon Ichi
Basically the Japanese version of Electronic Arts (or EA). They were a once great company who started turning to crap in the 2010s. This all started when they would localize licensed games based on anime, manga, and doujin franchises, only to degrade them. Things started getting bushier when they began licensing anime titles with no dubs.
Konata: Hey, did you get Touhou Gensou Rondo?
Susumu: No, that's a crappy Nippon Ichi game. I heard they pulled an LJN on it when localizing it for North America. Basically a long tutorial, bad backgrounds, and nobody online. I'm gonna get the AVGN to review this.

The Guy from Sbarros
A person who is new at Sbarros and works really slow. Probably is fifty pounds overweight and votes republican. He is usually a pain in the butt when you try to order your pizza there.
Before and ordering the pizza:
Susumu: What is taking so god dang long!? I've been waiting an hour to order my pizza!
Clerk: Oh, he's new here. He's not used to multitasking, so you might experience delays.
After ordering the pizza:
Kagami: Susumu, what took you so long?
Susumu: Oh, the guy from Sbarros was slow as heck when I was trying to order the pizza.
Kagami: Let's hope we don't run into this again.
Susumu: What is taking so god dang long!? I've been waiting an hour to order my pizza!

Hanna-Barbera
A virus who began in the late 1950s in the animation industry. Their light side was they created top-notch shows such as The Flintstones, Wacky Races, and Scooby-Doo. But there's one downfall: these nerds possess a huge library of sound effects with the sole purpose of tissing off gamers. The virus began spreading in the 1960s when Warner Brothers Animation, Nickelodeon, and DiC Entertainment exploited these to their full extent. They infected the anime industry when Wacky Races was a smash hit in Japan. They also infected the gaming industry in the 1980s when almost every show in the 80s and 90s made minor use of these. It started with Dragon's Lair and Time Gal, but it really didn't take off until the 1990s, when Crash Bandicoot was the first to be hit. Rareware got infected with games such as Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 exploiting these. Nintendo also got infected too, Paper Mario was the first, but it wasn't until Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga where the usage of HB sounds started getting worse. Almost every Mario game nowadays uses these.
Scenario 1:
Gamer: I wanted to play Super Mario Galaxy, but I can't because Nintendo put in those stupid HB sounds in! Screw you Hanna-Barbera!
Scenario 2:
Teacher: Okay students, we are going to watch Magic School Bus!
Student: OH GOD! The sound effects there are awful, and a large majority of sound effects used are from Hanna-Barbera! Ren and Stimpy also exploit these too! I'm outta here! (leaves classroom)

Foundations of Scientific Inquiry
Called FSI, probably one of the most annoying forms of science ever devised. It involves theories, memorization of the periodic table, and lots of algebra that require four steps to solve. Many of these have frustrating formulas in order to determine specific heat, Boor's Law, mole to atom conversions, orbital notation, balancing from the activity series, and many others that can make your life miserable. Usually, the bookwork involves a large amount of problems that take hours to complete. The tests are also your worst enemy, and those who study for seven freaking hours usually get a 50 on every single test.
Scenario 1:
Miss Sakuraba: For homework tonight, please complete problems 1-9, doing every single problem!
Susumu: Are you freaking high on marijuana!? There can possibly be no way I can do every single one of them!
Scenario 2:
God dang it I failed Miss Sakuraba's Foundations of Scientific Inquiry class and now I have to take it again!

Electrodrome
A course in Mario Kart 8. Has one of the best level designs ever. The course is set in a nightclub, where you can see koopas and shy guys dancing. The music is also one of the best tracks you'll ever hear when you go across the digital synthesizers and landing on the beat panels. The background also has several star-shaped beats that beat with the music, making you think Lucky Star meets Mario Kart.
