User blog:Junebug25/Eras of SML

Hey everyone, it's me again.

With SML being out for a decade now, 11 years as of the day after this post, the channel has been through a numerous amount of changes. With these changes come time periods that certain videos or years can be classified in. There's always been a bit of a debate on how to evenly spilt up the times of SML, so I just wanted to share my input on it. This is my opinion of SML's timeline.

Early Era/Stone Age (2007-2010):

At this point in time, Logan was just starting out Youtube, and was just another kid goofing off with his family and friends. The guys didn't stick to a certain formula of videos, and the crew just did whatever they wanted. The crew never took themselves too seriously, which gave the show a unique charm. The quality and editing of the videos were much like early Youtube, which gives off a nostalgic feel to it. All in all, SML was just a fun channel where Logan and his buds could just do stuff and be carefree about it. You could tell they were just having a good time with what they were doing.

This era, off course, introduced characters such as Mario, Woody, Black Yoshi, Shrek, Toad, Tony, Mr. Pig etc. It should be noted that many characrers used in this era were only used in this era and abandoned soon afterwards.

A notable thing about this stage is the character Mama Luigi. Due to his absolutely stupid and insane antics, he became a fan favorite. He also starred in the popular SML mini series, Mario and Luigi's Stupid and Dumb Adventures. Because of him, SML attracted a sizable and loyal fanbase.

Exact Period (Super Mario Got Milk: Dec 8, 2007 - Mario and Luigi's Stupid and Dumb Adventures. Season 2 Episode 5: June 22, 2010).

New and Improved Era/Golden Age (2010-2013):
