[[AC:Episode 13: The Button That Ruins Everything]]
* "It's starting to look like I might actually do this [meet the 12-game goal]. And you all doubted me. [[TheyCalledMeMad You all said I was mad.]] Seamus Young specifically said I was mad. Well, we'll see who's mad six months from now. It will be me!"
* "No rest for the dickhead! Time to start Month Seven."
* After explaining the premise of the next game (see episode title):
-->''I have a horrible feeling this will end up being the most popular game of the whole year, and I'll have to put another tick in the "pros" column of my suicide note.''

[[AC:Episode 12: So Random]]
* Yahtzee explains how ''The Cleaner'' differs from games like ''Serial Cleaner'' and ''Roombo''.
-->''Because of two main points, really. One: I say it does, and two: shut up.''
* "So we're back to the same advice I always give: '''focus on the primary gameplay loop.''' If that's fun, whether the environment you do it in is designed or random doesn't matter so much. Color and style of bra is less important than the lusciousness of the titties therein."

[[AC:Episode 11: The Cleaner]]
* Yahtzee is generally pleased with how ''Hogpocalypse Sow'' turned out.
-->''And now that I've made these vile, disgusting gore mechanics, I have an idea for a game that could make the most of them.''
* "We're a cleaning lady in a couple of rooms that are full of dirt and litter [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and one person who has to die]]."
* "Anyway. Must dash, and start working on ''The Cleaner''. If I miss the first milestone, I have to flagellate myself."

[[AC:Episode 10: Control Freak]]
* "The Story So Far: Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, as an excuse to get out of walking the dog."
* ''Hogpocalypse Sow'''s [[BloodyHilarious death animation.]] The human character's undignified fall to the ground--delayed and stiff as a plank--is the cherry on top.
* The wrap-up, delivered in a uniformly cheerful tone:
-->''Drop a comment and let us know! Leave a like if you enjoyed the video! And don't forget to subscribe! [[StepfordSmiler Christ, do I hate myself!]]''\\

[[AC:Episode 7: The Life of Erich Zann]]
* "When I tested [Upbeat] I found it decently fair and challenging, but then I gave it to my lead tester--i.e. wife--and either it's harder than I thought, or she'd broken both her wrists at some point and didn't know how to tell me."
* The "blueprint" sketch for "The Life of Erich Zann" uses a crude drawing of a ghost to represent some as-yet-undetermined Lovecraftian horror outside Zann's window. Playing the violin to "appease" it results in it getting a big dopey smile on its face.

[[AC:Episode 8: A Day in the Life]]
* "The Story So Far: Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, lest doom befall his household."
* After being reminded that [[Creator/HPLovecraft the original Erich Zann]] played a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viol viol]], not a violin:
-->''In my defense, if you Google Erich Zann, virtually every image and video you find shows the dude playing a violin. Probably because as an image it works a lot better: the exhausted fiddler standing defiant against the evil, rather than the lazy cellist sitting on their arse, dragging a bow back and forth like they're rubbing their big fat tummy.''
* The brief discussion of "Spacegame: The Game," which uses a variety of [[UnsoundEffect Unsound Effects]] to show ship repair and maintenance (e.g. "Scrub! Purify! Expunge!" when cleaning machinery).
** "...But either way I'll have all the energy and motivation I need [to finish "Spacegame"], as soon as Batman is defeated once and for all--[[VerbalBackspace I mean]] all twelve games are finished."

[[AC:Episode 9: Hogpocalypse Sow]]
* "The Story So Far: Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, in case he needs an excuse to start binge drinking."
* The premise of this episode's titular game, where the player uses GunKata to defend against waves of attacking swine, is RippedFromTheHeadlines--specifically, a Twitter argument over gun control[[note]]involving [[AlternativeCountry Jason Isbell]], of all people[[/note]] that went viral in the summer of 2019. Naturally, Yahtzee plays this premise completely straight.
-->''It's nothing less than my civic duty to memorialize the struggle of these courageous men and women, by making a game about flamboyantly shooting the living fuck out of hordes of undomesticated pigs... all of which have been inexplicably color-coded.''

[[AC:Episode 1: "Preflight Panic"]]
* Yahtzee's SelfDeprecation starts early in this series.
-->''My last release,'' The Consuming Shadow, ''took me about three years. [shows clip of gameplay]'' '''''Doesn't look like it should have done, does it?'''''
* After explaining the premise of the titular game:
-->''Well, that's about it for theory. Let's get back together in two weeks and see if it gets off the ground, or if it remains at the security checkpoint getting its goolies fondled by the TSA.''

[[AC:Episode 2: Belts, Backrests and Bubbles]]
* The first appearance of [[RunningGag "The Story So Far"]].
-->''Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, for reasons best known to himself.''
* Yahtzee exhorts his viewers to take risks and make games of their own, if they have the ideas and the wherewithal.
-->''You know that weird idea at the back of your mind that you keep thinking about, but you're not sure anyone else would like or understand? Yeah, make that. You might have the next big thing in your hands right there, boyo. Perhaps not likely, but neither is you getting to make out with a beautiful Valkyrie, and you still brush your teeth every night.''

[[AC:Episode 3: Battle Royale Tycoon]]
* The episode opens with Moviebob play-testing "Preflight Panic." [[BlackComedy Things do not go well.]]
* "The Story So Far: Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, as part of a prolonged public suicide."
* Yahtzee rationalizes the final aesthetic of the game.
-->''Meanwhile, those hairdos and beards I wanted to add--I just didn't like how any of them looked with the way the face animation worked. So I binned them. Now everyone's bald and identical. It's a satirical comment on society [[AssPull or something]].''
* After laying out the basic[[note]]and we mean basic--he starts down several rabbit-holes of extraneous ideas, only to rein himself in with "No, bad Yahtzee!"[[/note]] concept for "Battle Royale Tycoon" (later "BRTV"):
-->''You lot come back in a fortnight. Hm, [[VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} how appropriate.]]''

[[AC:Episode 4: Shooter Loopy]]
* The episode was released with the game still unfinished, partly because of E3 and partly because Yahtzee was having too much fun with the character name generator.
-->''I always enjoy making random name generators, building lists of my favorite InherentlyFunnyWords. I've even modded them into games in the past--haven't I, Kenneth Gurgleton? Debra Munchzone? Haven't I, Linda Dimplecunk?''
* On the subject of primary gameplay loops:
-->''Now, I know what you're thinking. "Duhh, Yahtzee. Of course I understand a game needs to be fun. What do you think I am, [[TakeThat a MOBA developer]]?"''

[[AC:Episode 5:Jumpy Music Thing]]
* "The Story So Far: Yahtzee Croshaw has pledged to develop 12 games in 12 months, just to show them. Just to show them all."
