History Creator / EmperorLemon

** Expect to hear a couple of UsefulNotes/XboxOne jabs in a variety of his poops, starting with ''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants The Krusty Krustacean's Kantankerous Kommercial]]''.

In 2016, Emp entered a self-embraced [[CreatorBreakdown "downward spiral"]]. Instead of making [=YTPs=], he instead made rants and video essays (edited with a [=YouTube=] Poop style) reporting how broken Website/YouTube has become as a website and creative platform. He made his retirement from Youtube Poops permanent in 2020 in the wake of copyright and community guidelines crackdowns making them too much of a liability.

* QuantityVsQuality: Complains about how Website/YouTube presently, through its search/recommendation algorithms, automated copyright bots, and monetization system, favors channels which make lots of low-quality content, while penalizing channels which make smaller amounts of high-quality content.

* ViewersAreMorons: Subscribes to the "Normie vs. Outsider" theory of viewership, where the vast majority of viewers have similar interests and critical capacities, and that the most popular Website/YouTube channels exploit this by making large amounts of unsaturated content to rake in loads of money. He finds this especially true since the vast majority of [=YouTube=] watchers are also children.

* AnAesop:
** From ''There Will Never Ever Be Another Cartoon Like Spongebob Squarepants'', as long as you're a responsible member of society who can pull your own weight, there's nothing wrong with a little childishness and imagination.
** The ''Jimmy Kimmel Represents Everything Wrong in American Entertainment'' video makes has a clear message that if people want to get into political movements, one should ''focus'' on the bigger problems and not just on small rants and complaints. Emp ''also'' stresses that one should be truthful over their actions and such and not just pander to the bigger demographic.
** The point of ''From Why You Should Like Dislikes'' is that, as much as it can suck having a video you’ve made be disliked to hell and back, dislikes are an important part of growing as a [=YouTuber=], and learning to respond to dislikes in a healthy way will help you to become more successful on [=YouTube=].
** ''TALLADEGA: Nascar's Most Feared Track'' states that the endless pursuit for perfection and conquest always comes at a cost, juxtaposing America's "manifest destiny" and its countless atrocities over the tribes they subjugated, and the curse of Talladega supposedly brought upon by a Native American shaman among other things.

Since 2017, he has been gradually moving away from the "downward spiral" aesthetic and his videos now resembling documentaries more than [=YTPs=] (although the literal "downward spiral" does appear now and then). While he has started two new series since the change - ''[=YouTube=] Geographic'', where he explores odd incidents in [=YouTube=]'s history, and ''Never Ever'', where he talks about the historical and cultural impact of certain figures or pieces of media - most of his modern videos tend to be about pretty much anything, though quite a number of them are about {{Sports}} such as UsefulNotes/NASCAR and UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball.

* AprilFoolsPlot: In "The [=Spingebill=] Collection", WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob|SquarePants}} ''poisons a fish's drink'' because of April Fool's. At the end of the episode, [[spoiler: said fish is revealed to have survived the posion, and comes back with a ''literal'' bang, and attempts to kill Spongebob with a pistol]]. It doesn't work, because [[spoiler: Spongebob is made of a spongy material which adsorbs the bullets, and proceeds to eject said bullets from his holes into the body of the fish, killing him.]]

%%** His video on the history of Mac Tonight starts with the song all Mac Tonight videos parody, ''Theater/TheThreepennyOpera's'' "Mack the Knife", and noting that the song is attached to a character who was a public counterculture icon both for this song and for his appearance in the original ''[[Theatre/TheBeggarsOpera Beggar's Opera]]''. The song later gets widespread popularity with the corporate darling Mac Tonight, but the character finally finds his way back to his counterculture roots because of the shock humor and racist "Moonman" memes making [=McDonalds=] retire the character entirely.

'''Fry''' (covered in Brain Slugs): Sure, you say that now.

* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]; he frequently asks subscribers who dislike his newer content to unsubscribe, since he probably isn't going to make the content they subscribed to the channel for anymore, and he wants his subscriber count to remotely represent his average view count.

* UnreliableNarrator: Namedropped in ''Operation Red Herring'', when describing Matt Watson's duplicitous behavior used in orchestrating the [=#YoutubeWakeUp=] controversy.
