<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

I second Mothrayas's choices as well.

GBC Pokémon: Yellow Version „Executes Arbitrary Code” in 12:51.86 by bortreb ← this one
The author's decision to incorporate My Little Pony into the "arbitrary code" instead of something that might appeal to a larger segment of the target audience (such as, I dunno, Pokémon, or at least such a broad variety of franchises that at least one of them is sure to stick– for example, a medley of video game music that includes Mario and Pokémon themes in it will appeal to me even if it also contains stuff I'm not familiar with like Halo, Final Fantasy, or hell, even MLP) still leaves a horrid taste in my mouth. As it stands, when the video is 12 minutes of repetitive Pokémon glitches for the purposes of setting up the game to execute arbitrary code, a few minutes of random digits and text flooding the screen while the arbitrary code is typed in, and a minute of the MLP theme song with what I have since learned is Pinkie Pie's Cutie Mark on the screen, people who don't care for Pokémon will just be bored by all of the set-up, and Pokémon fans who don't care for MLP will just end up feeling trolled, and I never liked the idea of TASVideos publishing something that trolls the viewer. I'd rather see a published speedrun of a My Little Pony video game, because at least viewers are told from the get-go what it's about.
I think it's obvious that this run is going to win, but I can't help but be PO'ed. Maybe when I finally manage to completely wipe my initial experiences with the [censored] fandom out of my memory and start to tolerate it, I won't feel this way. (To all bronies, I am truly sorry that I am so tainted by these experiences that I have to put conscious effort into being diplomatic with you, and only wish that you'll accept the fact that I'm at the very least contrite enough to at least try.) But until then, I vote for the SMW run that skips almost all of the gameplay and spontaneously brings about the end.

Well, when I first saw “SNES Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 in 30:28.38 by SDR, TheVLACKDEMONN2294, Dark Noob” I was quite sure that I would vote for it in the end of year. But how impressed I was when I saw “Pokémon: Yellow” TAS, it’s amazing that you can break the game SO deeply, and I would vote for it, not depending on what music and picture would show up in the end.
