    He is actually kind of a prick.

    I laughed my way through it from start to end. The humour is perfect as is the crack interpretation of Ozpin.



    4/5 from me.

    Okay, this is stupid, juvenile and dumb.

    It made me laugh.

    4/5

    Troll Ozpin is best Ozpin.

    3.5/5, rounding up because it genuinely had me laughing out loud.

    The humor fell completely flat for me, and the story doesn't really have anything else going for it.

    2.5/5 for being technically well written. I'll round up.

    Most of the humour felt really flat for me too and there's really nothing else to the story apart from that. Felt as forced and meh as the Ozpin coffee gaffes in Professor Arc. For a one shot that isn't based around a single punchline, I expect every line to be gold and this only had a few lines that really made me smile.

    The only bit I enjoyed was his shipping chart, which actually was more interesting than funny. I had never even considered some of those pairings before. I need to check if some of these pairing actually exist...

    If you're going for a concept like that, I think they generally work better reading a first person POV narrative from the insane character in question.

    2/5

    I agree with everything except the laughing part.

    Loved it. 4/5

    Silly and immature, yeah, but it made it work.

    It was as funny as it was stupid, and I was laughing almost from the very beginning. But I don't think it's good enough to warrant anything better then 3/5.

    Try as I may, I can't seem to reconcile my image of Ozpin with someone who uses the word "scrublord" in any context.

    I like the idea but as others said the humor fell a bit flat. I believe I would have found it funnierr if Ozpin was a troll his own age and not characterized as a troll that is mentally about 14.

    2/5
