--> For [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo £17.90]] ([[CrackIsCheaper for purchasing]] ''two games'', ''Hareraiser: Prelude'' and ''Hareraiser: Finale'') you got [[ObviousBeta a few lines of BASIC code]], where a few years previously you could pay far less for [[Literature/KitWilliamsMasquerade a book full of beautiful art]]... So, in these days of [[RevenueEnhancingDevices dubious]] [[PreOrderBonus "pre-order bonuses"]] and [[VersionExclusiveContent parts of games]] being held back for [[DownloadableContent DLC]], do take some solace in the fact that you are at least getting a ''game'', and not receiving... well, for want of a better description, some random bunch of tree pictures as part of an [[GetRichQuickScheme iffy get-rich-quick scam]] from [[SnakeOilSalesman a bunch of cheaters.]] And ''that'' is why I think that ''Hareraiser'' is the worst game ever.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmbQXeH97NE&feature=channel&list=UL Game King Showcase]]. ''How'' was he able to read all those BlindIdiotTranslation plots, in that epic voice, without bursting into laughter?
** More than likely a large number of takes.

* YMMV because of how [[NauseaFuel disgusting it is]], but Ashens eating the food he reviews counts as this. This isn't really towards foreign food, but rather the stuff that came from shady places or have a really bad reputation. This includes the stuff from Poundland [[note]]people avoid buying bootlegged food from that place (as well as Dollar Cashier and Dollarama) since they came from places like China, which may contain very harmful chemicals[[/note]] (the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpIVAzPdQMo Instant Cupcake]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJgHZya3qR4 Delicious Mallows]]), the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2UsLamksB4 Bean Boozled Jellybeans (with Dan)]] or the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVza_AnhQ3E Whole Chicken in a Can]], which the latter is considered to be the most vile thing he reviewed thus far. Considering he has to risk himself getting sick just for the sake of a review, it shows how brave that man is.

* His [[TakeThat epic trashing]] of the ''Hareraiser'' games for the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum in his lecture ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouvi-fwrfIY Hareraiser (The Worst Game Ever)]].'' Especially awesome is his closing remark, considering the many controversies regarding DLC in modern gaming.

* [[Main/BrokenBase Depending on who you ask]], the various ways scores of poorly produced official ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' figurines are destroyed in the [[http://youtu.be/YgYjp9_Vj6I?t=6m23s My Little Pony Mystery Bags video]], which, in unusual fashion to Ashen videos, is as long as the 6 minute review. Rather than merely condemning them to his signature handheld blowtorch, Stuart has Andy, a chemicals expert, employ various creative methods of destruction (all backed with classical music). Even fans of the show were pleased with this as they are fed up with with how shoddy a lot of official products from Hasbro are.

It's a cathartic moment of sorts for those who had to deal with ''Friendship Is Magic'' FanDumb on Youtube video comments over the years; even fans of the show were pleased with this as they are fed up with with how shoddy a lot of official products from Hasbro are.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXVWiHEDe4M The destruction of a cheap dinosaur skeleton toy.]]

* The first Ashenscast for Stand Up To Cancer achieved 106% of it's donation goal... ''Before he started talking''. He finished with well over 1200%, totalling upward of 6000 pounds.

* YMMV, but whenever Ashens eats the food he reviews, regardless of where they came from or their reputation. The most notable examples are the stuff from Poundland [[note]]people tend to avoid buying food from that place since most of the stuff they hold came from places like China, which may contain very harmful chemicals[[/note]] (the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpIVAzPdQMo Instant Cupcake]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJgHZya3qR4 Delicious Mallows]]), the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2UsLamksB4 Bean Boozled Jellybeans]] or the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVza_AnhQ3E Whole Chicken in a Can]], which the latter is considered to be the most vile thing he reviewed thus far. That man is brave.
* Watching Ashens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z14SlZ1i7rc violenty mangle]] a dancing [[TheScrappy Jar Jar Binks]] is ''extremely'' gratifying for anyone who was less than pleased with the way the prequels went down. Not much of a surprise, since Ashens himself is a long-time fan of the original trilogy, judging by another video where he used a flat hand press to destroy a rubber Stormtrooper.

** The chicken in a can especially- every food channel on Youtube that has reviewed those has had about the same opinion, if not worse.

* Occasionally he'll find something that impresses him, and these moments are awesome not for Ashens but for the product he's using. Examples include [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SK7FRDWGIw Chef Tony's Smart Lids]] which worked so well that Stuart actually began to use them on a regular basis[[note]](though he later admitted in a livestream that it stopped working after going in the microwave a few times)[[/note]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojatBoMZubk&t=15m05s the CybikoExtreme's racing game]] with easy-to-handle controls and smooth 3D graphics ''on an LCD screen.''
