Advantages: Hilarious, comedy, action packed

Disadvantages: Profanity

Maybe this series doesn't seem appealing to you or you're not really a fan of Halo games, but trust me on this one, it's worth your time watching. The duration of each episode are usually only a few minutes, so you can spend a small portion of your time watching some of it. Red Vs. Blue, created by Rooster Teeth, is packed with hilarity and action, though it wasn't until Revelation that they started to use CGI for the action scenes, which brings out its full epicness. Be warned, there are a lot of profanities so it's not recommended for kids.

>>Plot
Two teams, Red and Blue, each occupy a base in Blood Gulch but both teams don't seem to try too hard to steal their opponents flag. In the Red team, there's Sarge, Simmons, Grif, Donut and Lopez. For the Blue team, there's Church, Caboose and Tucker until Tex, Sister, Sheila, and Junior come up later on in the series. Each character have their own hilarious quirks, the most noticeable one being Caboose.

>>Characters
Sarge is the leader of the Red team and often leads his team into suicide missions, although they've always managed to come out alive. He has extreme dislike for Grif as he's always willing to sacrifice him and saying that it was worth it. Simmons is the most coherent soldier out of everyone in his team and appears in the first episode along with Grif, and seems to have father complex issues. Grif slacks off most of the time and has a sister, which everyone calls Sister. Donut appears later on in Episode 3 as a new member of the team and has a pink armor which often leads to others assuming that he's a girl at first glance. He's very sensitive about it and always insists that the color is "lightish red" though the others aren't convinced. Lopez is a robot that can only speak Spanish, so the others misunderstand what he says yet often agree with him, assuming that he's saying what they're thinking. Compared to the Red team, I personally think that the Blue team is more interesting.

Church is the leader of the Blue team and is later blown up by Caboose but shows up as a ghost. He can possess bodies and even robots, which allows him to still participate in the ongoing war. Caboose doesn't seem to have at least an IQ of over fifty, but his hilarious remarks make up for that. Tucker is the "love doctor" of the team and later gets impregnated by an alien, giving birth to Junior due to unexplainable circumstances. The badass soldier out of both the teams, Tex isn't exactly a member of Blue as she is paid to help fight with them and used to date Church, although they both still seem to have feelings for each other. Sister isn't exactly as bright as a lightbulb and often says things that confuses the others.

This series never failed to make me laugh in almost all of the episodes and I truly love the action parts, especially when both the teams get beat up by Tex, a Freelancer agent. I've learned that you'd never want to ask Caboose for help, since that lead to Church's death although he comes back as a ghost near the beginning of the first season. I also loved Tucker's "Bow chicka wow wow" moments and other running jokes. There are several more moments that I'd love to share, but that might ruin the whole plot for you so I'd suggest you watch the series on the RvB website, roosterteeth.com.

Summary: Red Vs. Blue is a series created by Rooster Teeth and is a parody of Halo.
