** Less than a week after the video, the man in question tried to harass Steph online. Steph's refusal to talk to him (or even acknowledge him directly) led to him upping the harassment and trying to get Twitter to suspend them, which resulted in [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Twitter investigating and then banning him]]. Naturally, Stephanie had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAKjhFcscnI field day]] once all was said and done.

* The end of their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwaVUwbIf0w Squirty Play/Jimpression]] of ''I Will Escape''. [[spoiler:[[https://youtu.be/WwaVUwbIf0w?t=1045 To begin with]], Jim's character is crouched and is sneaking through the building. And then the moment he stands up, [[ObviousBeta he permanently grows]] ''[[LeanAndMean extremely]]'' [[ObviousBeta tall]]. Jim's [[BigWhat react]][[{{Corpsing}} ion]] is priceless, even saying that their character now has the proportions of [[Memes/SuperSmashBros Pikaman.]] At the very end, they not only escape the building, but also ''falls out of the map'' and gets a GameOver.]]

---> '''JSS''': Not once did I quote tweet him, not once did I reply to him. [...] I wish I could take the credit for knockking a fashy little 'phobe off Twitter, but he ''did it to himself''.

* "The VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} That Broke Amibo's Back" starts with Jim saying that this ''was'' going to be a positive episode in support of the Unity engine, but that will have to wait because "something else cheesed my onions this week and what you really want to hear is a privileged adult man whining about not being able to buy children's toys with all his money! So that's what we're going to do!"

** One thing they don't mention that several commenters took note of is the story in the Steam page description, which is in such mangled English that one could be forgiven for getting the impression that it's [[https://youtu.be/HmbQXeH97NE a lost Game King game]] rather than a PC game:

* When pedophilia is brought into the ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' GayOption debate, they patronisingly lay out the difference concerning pedophilia, and there is a brief moment where they turn the patronisation UpToEleven when their voice goes slightly high-pitched.

* In the "Let's End the FPS Sausage-fest" episode, describing how men in modern shooters apparently reproduce like [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Orks]]. Also, Jim in drag.

* At the end of ''Time To Get Paid,'' Jim keeps their promise from last week's episode and plays with a Dragon dildo [[LoonyFan sent to them by a fan...]] to the tune of the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' theme song no less. It... It really, ''really'' needs to be seen to be believed.

'''Jim:''' ''*In regular voice*'' ...I need to get this thing off my head.''*[[{{Corpsing}}starts laughing]]*'' I ''genuinely'' need this off my head.

* As they are playing Jotun, they have this reaction : "[[https://youtu.be/grK3Le2L1UM?t=15m30s Fucking hell, it's me.]]"

* Their video testing out the HD version of ''Videogame/{{Fable}}'' is titled "The Eyeless Cenobites of Albion," because of the guards who have perpetually squinted-shut eyes.

* In "The Delicious Failure Of NFTs In Gaming", Stephanie's wrestling opponent threatens to beat them, take a picture, and [[BerserkButton turn it into an NFT]].

* Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3fsZHN6Z9Q playthrough]] of ''ESC: From Planet'', which they dub as the absolute worst game to cost $35 - and it quickly shows that they do not exaggerate with that statement. They find themselves {{Corpsing}} multiple times from the sheer [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs absurdity of the environment]] and the [[ObviousBeta jaw-dropping bugs the game has]]. It culminates rather quickly into Jim entering what can only be described as ''[[LaughingMad a state of complete hysteria]]'' from a entirely unanimated snake continuously lurching forward and ramming into wooden boxes repeatedly. They struggle to even form coherent sentences, they're ''that'' HelplessWithLaughter.

** The part where they imitate the game's "music", which is just a 20-second loop.

* Where to even begin with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMkTBXmIsU4 Age of Barbarian]]? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELrxxM92kvo The Steam Greenlight trailer]], which among other things misspells "Barbarian" as "Barbarin" ''twice'', and was described by Jim as [[SoBadItsGood the best worst thing they'd ever seen]]? The hilariously terrible dialogue? The fact everyone is scantily clad for no discernible reason other than {{fanservice}}, sometimes to the point where the game needed to be censored to be acceptable on Steam? The breast blurring that [[ObviousBeta sometimes fails to disappear when it's served its purpose, resulting in severe framerate problems]]? The fact that at one point, ''[[EpicFail the developer forgot to blur a female character's breasts]] '''[[EpicFail while a correctly censored close-up of her was in the foreground]]'''''? Or how about [[http://puu.sh/pgGzU/a045a88325.jpg this ridiculous facial expression]]?

* "A Difficult Subject", a video made in response to the controversy of a game journalist using cheats to defeat the end boss of ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' (a subject that is still a matter of great contention [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment that need not be elaborated on further on this page]]), sees the [[https://youtu.be/nIWivb-8C1w?t=445 triumphant return of Duke Amiel]] after taking a break to deal with the consumption to poke fun at one particularly notorious and [[MemeticMutation meme-worthy]] hot take aimed at the journalist in question.

** Jim was rather alarmed when ''their own doctor'' greeted him as "the Cornflakes Homunculus himself" at one of their appointments.[[note]]Jim had told their doctor what they did for a living, not realizing their doctor would look them up on [=YouTube=], much less that he would become a fan.[[/note]]

* An NSFW Jimquisition [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meM4yvlhDPA&index=15&list=PLlRceUcRZcK0E1Id3NHchFaxikvCvAVQe episode]] is basically a hurricane of euphemism made by Jim himself.

* "Modern Warfare Rebastard" opens with Jim on the phone to the person who created his spiffy new opening and closing credits. They tell them that people thought the flip animation at the end of the opening[[note]]where it transitions to Jim's photo and "By Jim Sterling"[[/note]] was 'cheap', and thus needs changing. Cue the opening credits, the flip transition is replaced with an [[StylisticSuck agonisingly slow, multi-stage 'zoom' animation with desert wind cutting out the music until it's done.]]

** Even more amusingly, that gag was actually {{Foreshadowing}} for [[http://www.thejimquisition.com/youtubers-say-the-darndest-things/ the next editorial piece]] on his website.

* The introduction to "The Problems with the Epic Store" is also gold; he claims that after a divisive period lots of people on the Internet are trying to find ways to hurt him, and then tells them not to bother, he watched ''Puppet Master'', ''Hideous'', ''Head of the Family'', ''Blood Dolls'', ''Dollman'' and ''Demonic Toys'', all in the previous two days, all by choice, so there's ''nothing left to take from him''.

** Throughout the episode, Jim continuously voices their bewilderment over incorporating crafting in ''[=MW:R=]'', culminating in him demanding someone to craft Bobby Kottick's resignation paper, and then as Jim covers ''Gears of War: Ultimate Edition'' (or as they dubbed it, ''Quasi-''Ultimate Edition):

* In a parody of the attacks on Laura Bailey for something her character did in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', Jim starts out the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1H_6OUZ1ZI "When Inane Creeps Attack Actors for Something A Fictional Character Did"]] video by sending a letter to Creator/FrankWelker chastising him for [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie killing Optimus Prime and attacking Autobot City]]. Of course, even for a joke Jim is too classy to send something like a death threat, so he merely threatens to make him [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment sit in bolognaise with no pants]].

* The aliases that Jim comes up with to protect the identities of the reps that keep sending him sponsorship offers are a real hoot [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaisAWgY4WQ in their episode about their staunch refusal to accept any sponsorship proposals.]] The 9 different reps from the company BBTV who've been sending him emails are thus named, Brutus Inconspicuous, Wednesday Flavor, "Smooth" Rory Racetrack, The Howling, Jester's Choice, Ashford Mashford, HENK, Sweet Potato Chips and Doctor Clunge, the last of which is visualized by a surgeon who looks a little too enthusiastic about watching 2 dogs getting their freak on while a third dog looks disturbed by the whole situation.

* Similar to the laughing fit they had in their squirty play of ''Better Late than Dead'', Jim plays ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIII'' and notes the guy in main menu has some cool armor, but Jim himself can't wear it because they're too fat. Jim then bursts out laughing at their own statement.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_I9-CkzDE The Great Atari Ransack]] has his apt description of ''Asteroids: Outpost'':

* "EA Should Lose The Franchise/StarWars License": Well, ''yes'', but also, Jim's Star Wars OC, Dingo Manburger, who looks like Jim, in black, wearing a bucket on his head with eyes and a mouth stuck on, yellow rubber gloves, a tinfoil sash, and a gold necklace with prawns on it. His backstory includes failing to catch Han Solo once, punching Boba Fett in the helmet so hard he fell over, and inventing Chewie's bandoleer, and apparently he's Force-sensitive.

* His Let's Play of ''Dark Shadows: Army of Evil''. The leaden narration (''"She's not just ''any'' woman -- you are in love with her after all!''"), the "tutorial", invisible items everywhere, the blood spatter which doesn't fade and continues to collect on the screen to just to mock Jim, the humans in monster "[[WeirdnessCensor disguises]]"...the list goes on.

** The ep also marks the return of Number 1 Top Media Influencer, Cucumber Succulence, who's shilling for a "bleeding edge" face mask product(read: a brown paper bag) and showing how it's used in conjunction to your daily routine, which is to say while it completely obscures your face.

** Special mention goes to Robert claiming that Jim is commanding his fans to go around and attacking people he doesn't like. His proof? A clear MadScientist parody skit, where Jim is injecting carrots with a syringe and says he is in the process of creating an obedient breed of creatures. Jim can't help but burst out into laughter after hearing this.
