=The Kenny Rosenberg Show (seasons 1-3)=

Synopsis
Kenny and his circle of friends decide to go on adventures in the city of Alasta and protect the city from ruthless villains and stop stupid things from happening while doing all sorts of random shit during their spare time.

Why These Seasons Fell on The Loser Tank

 * 1) It has all the hallmarks of a badly-made crossover show (poor writing, flanderized characters, unfunny humor, etc.).
 * 2) The characters are remarkably unlikable.
 * 3) *Kenny, the main character, had his annoying qualities cranked up to 11.
 * 4) *Mr. Murdock became a smartass who can't stop showing off.
 * 5) *Melina Treshcove is just a damsel in distress who doesn't do anything of note.
 * 6) *Supreme Kellen, originally a character from Kenny's fan-made episodes of the Crazy-Ass Group Show along with Ihemie, Ohemie, and Wallace Breen, is just as greedy as he was in the fan episodes.
 * 7) The visuals are an eyesore on par with The Problem Solverz.
 * 8) The humor and the jokes are unoriginal, mostly pop-culture references and celebrity cameos.
 * 9) Horrendous voice acting.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Seasons 4-present, which coincided with the second movie, are a huge improvement over this.
 * 2) The opening is well-animated.
 * 3) Some likable characters, such as:
 * 4) *Ihemie and Ohemie

Trivia

 * This is Nick at Nite's first original series since "See Dad Run" ended in 2015.
 * The theme song "Last Resort Show" sampled Pumped Up Kicks by the Foster People.

=The Kenny Rosenberg Show (seasons 4-present)=

Synopsis
Kenny and his circle of friends go on adventures in the city of Alasta, protecting the city from ruthless villains and stopping stupid things from happening while doing all sorts of random shit during their spare time. However, their free time will soon get shorter as those villains start fighting back, more vicious than ever.

Why It’s Out of the Loser Tank Now
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) Even though the tone is much darker than in the previous seasons, it still has enough comedy to balance it out.
 * 2) Great episodes such as:
 * 3) *"The Great Standing Waterwall"

=Kenny and Friends: The Game=

Why It Rocks

 * 1) This game fixes many of the issues plaguing the source material.
 * 2) It uses the well-liked Suzuhito Yasuda character designs.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game still has the offensive content the source material had.

Dialogue from This Game
=Kenny Rosenberg Cinematic Universe on TV Tropes= The Kenny Rosenberg Cinematic Universe is a multimedia franchise spanning 7 movies, an animated TV show, multiple video games, and a manga.

General Tropes:

 * Adaptational Badass: So many examples.
 * Everyone from Ray of Sunshine became badasses.
 * Adaptational Species Change: Mostly from the RTÉjr shows.
 * Age Lift: Odo gets aged up to 10.
 * Awesome Art (YMMV):
 * Massive Multiplayer Crossover

=KennyRosenberg: The Movie on TV Tropes= KennyRosenberg: The Movie is the first installment in the Kenny Rosenberg Cinematic Universe, and forms part 1 of the Dweller Saga, the first of three story arcs spanning seven movies. It got an overwhelmingly negative reception, mostly due to its sheer amount of filler.

Tropes include:

 * Arc Fatigue (YMMV): Suffers heavily from this, both as a result of this movie being over 8 hours long (and it was originally planned to be 2 hours longer!), and the sheer amount of scenes designed to pad out the movie's length. A later recut condensed it to just 3 hours, and is the version used in the first storyline of Kenny and Friends: The Game.
 * Colbert Bump (Trivia): It, along with other media comprising the crossover craze, helped bring RTEjr's shows (added on the whims of one of the writers) to the spotlight.
 * Early-Installment Weirdness: We have so many examples.
 * Compared to its fully animated sequels, this film was a blend of live-action and animation.
 * All of the licensed characters had their designs and species left as-is, instead of being redesigned/changed to human for consistency (with certain exceptions, such as Benji from Sullivan Sails).
 * Product Placement: Holds the "Guinness World Record for Product Placement in Any Media", with over 218 counts of it.
 * So Bad, It's Good (YMMV)

=Kenny Rosenberg and Friends in The Vengeful Return of the Nemesis on TV Tropes= Kenny Rosenberg and Friends in The Vengeful Return of the Nemesis (commonly shortened to just Kenny Rosenberg and Friends and known as Kenny Rosenberg: Dweller's Revenge in Europe) is the sequel to KennyRosenberg: The Movie and the finale of the Dweller Saga, the first of three story arcs spanning six movies.

Tropes include:

 * Art Shift: Return of the Nemesis eschews the first movie's blend of live-action and animation, followed by later KRCU movies (besides The Last of Kenny Rosenberg). It also started the trend of each KRCU installment having different character designers, with this installment having character designs courtesy of Sakae Esuno (the writer and artist for Future Diary).
 * Badass Adorable: Near the end, Ray becomes a competent swordfighter, though not without going through some trauma. In a DVD-exclusive What If?, Ray's friends join in on the fun, with Johnny becoming a lancer, Sally taking up archery. and Dec becoming a real fucking vampire, and a friendly one at that!
 * Badass in Distress: Edward Elric for much of the film, which leads to his younger brother Alphonse accompanying the gang in their quest to stop Dweller and his evil army in the hopes of rescuing him.
 * Bland-Name Product: Replaces the product placement seen throughout the first film.
 * Break the Cutie: Ray goes through this towards the end of the film, going from being a cheerful and optimistic young boy to somewhat the complete opposite, though he is still kind.
 * Darker and Edgier: In comparison to the first movie.
 * Enforced Method Acting (Trivia): Ray's sadness was genuine on his voice actor's part.
 * Gratuitous German: A habit of Madoff Osmond, one of the villains.
 * Put On a Bus: Much of the cast from the previous movie doesn't appear here, ostensibly due to Return of the Nemesis being much shorter (2 ½ hours compared to the previous one's 8 hours).
 * Surprisingly Improved Sequel (YMMV)
 * What Could Have Been (Trivia): The version of "Sweet Dreams" intended to play during the Dweller Republic's attack on Taal was initially the original Eurythmics version but was changed to the Marilyn Manson cover, to avoid the invasion being played up as comedic by audiences.
 * The Woobie (YMMV): Ray gets to be put through the wringer after being a static character in his home series. The results are decidedly not pretty.

=Kenny and Friends: Tokyo Takeover on TV Tropes=

Tropes include:

 * Art Shift: Tokyo Takeover continues the trend of each installment of the KRCU having different character designers, this time having character designs done by Suzuhito Yasuda of Durarara and Yozakura Quartet fame.
 * Big Ball of Violence: The gang forms one during their fight with *spoiler: James Osmond*, with the result being quite predictable.
 * The Bus Came Back: This movie sees a good chunk of the characters (besides the Thomas and Friends characters, the celebrities who cameoed, and the real-life people, though Lucas Blake Ashton does appear, credited under "The Earl of Bangor") who didn't participate in the events of "Return of the Nemesis", with the explanation being that they were forced to evacuate the Philippines for their own sake, leading them to depart for Tokyo.
 * Moe (YMMV): The character designs caused quite a few characters to become this, with prime examples including Odo, Lincoln Loud, and Ray.
 * Straight Man: L. Lawliet acts as one for the majority of this installment.

=Pompei Jompei (The Crazy-Ass Group Show)=

Plot
Gordon Freeman decides to build a Totem and starts a culture named "Pompei Jompei" about being timid and totems. However, Mayor Wallace Breen disapproves and does his best to stop it.

Why It Should Get Stomped By The Totems

 * 1) Poor pacing.

The Last of Kenny Rosenberg
The Last of Kenny Rosenberg is the finale of the Kenny Rosenberg Cinematic Universe, and the final part of the World Shattering Finale arc (which began with Kenny: The Beginning of the End and continued in Rosenberg: Calm Before the Storm), the last of the three arcs spanning the entire KRCU.

Dialogue from the Movie
Scene: Regaining the Will to Fight

We see everyone just after the final battle, as Kenny Rosenberg lies on the ground, slowly disintegrating. Kenny Rosenberg: Damn. I never knew we'd have so many adventures... All I wanted was to explore the Philippines, but here we are, traveling the world defeating cults and eventually my very own split personality... Mr. Murdock: My, we sure have come so far. Kenny Rosenberg: See ya later, everyone. *smiles as he fully disintegrates* Claire Emmett: *tearfully* Goodbye.. General Robert Tronk: We may have lost a friend, but he would be a legend inspiring others, and his achievements will be remembered till the end of time. Amen. Scene: Farewell, Kenny

Several months have passed since the final battle with Kenny the Adventurer, and we see cherry blossom petals fly past the screen. General Robert Tronk: Today is just beautiful... After years of almost non-stop fighting we get to catch a break... Scene: Life After Kenny

We see Kenny in his house in the afterlife, sitting near the bed. Kenny Rosenberg: Well, I've had too many adventures to count, so I should rest for a while. *loads DAT cassette into his stereo and presses play, before lying down, as a cover of Mr. Big's "Shine" starts playing* I hope my friends are doing well... Cue the closing credits. Scene: One More Word from Kenny

We see Ed and Winry at their wedding, preparing to kiss. Scene: Epilogue (home video-only)
