Red vs. Blue
Created by Burnie Burns
On YouTube, Rooster Teeth
A long-running, affectionate parody of military sci-fi that sustains itself through character relationships and absurdist humor rather than plot stakes.
In the distant future, two groups of soldiers battle for control of the least desirable piece of real estate in the known universe: a box canyon in the middle of nowhere.
