==2023==
===April: [[Mario Kart Black]]===
{{email|"'Because…..I played it before with a couple a friends,' The Cashier respond, 'BUT IT WAS PRETTY DAMN TERRIBLE THAT IT TOOK MY FRIENDS!' He yelled, while sobbing loudly, which made everybody in the store stopped for a moment and watched us talking."}}
 
Yet another horribly written story in the endless sub-genre of "person's paranormal encounter with gruesome piece of children's media." There are many questionable moments in this one, like when the music gets too loud, they put in earplugs instead of turning the volume down. Or even worse, instead of calling for help when Jacob is killed by Mario in real life (yes this actually happens), his sister runs back to the GameStop where the game was bought and asks the cashier questions about it. This is where the cashier reveals the game also killed his friends, and everyone currently in the store are victims of the game as well. Which begs the question why was GameStop selling this game, and why did the cashier give it away to the main characters knowing it would likely kill one of them? It's a truly mind-numbingly awful story up there with some of the worst creepypasta out there, which explains why it easily won the poll.
 
===March: [[Jimmy Neutron-Boy Killer]]===
{{email|"Jimmy's mom asks why did he do it, tears all over her face. Jimmy says that Carl was a terrible friend and a loser and that he deserved to die. His parents then tell him that he is grounded forever."}}
 
A good example of a creepypasta that is almost entirely reliant on gore and gruesome imagery in a kids cartoon for cheap scares. Though, none of it is scary and lacks any tension or suspense. It also follows the same generic template most stories in this genre follow: protagonist discovers piece of media and is shocked by its violence, followed by said protagonist discarding the media.
 
===February: [[Adventure Time: "Catherine! Catherine!"]]===
{{email|"I held onto my pillow and I start gasping, wishing I could shoot the TV."}}
It's another one of those creepypastas about a children's cartoon that becomes inexplicably violent and begins to communicate with the protagonist in some way. At the end it's seemingly implied the episode was a hallucination caused by a tumor, which may have been an effective premise if the story weren't so poorly written.
