* After the back-to-back five dumpster entries of ''Manga/GushingOverMagicalGirls'' and ''Manga/ChainedSoldier'', Geoff ponders a final recommendation but decides it's not needed.

* In addition to the RelaxOVision clips covering the raunchiest parts on Youtube, the video is also visited by the Monetization Fairy: An obese red fairy with the Youtube "removed video" face and a [[GagCensor coin over its groin]].

-->'''Geoff:''' Please don't get too caught up on judging my taste for that one glaring omission. I know it ''should'' be. [[DiggingYourselfDeeper You]] ''[[DiggingYourselfDeeper should be]]'' [[DiggingYourselfDeeper judging me for what I]] ''[[DiggingYourselfDeeper did]]'' [[DiggingYourselfDeeper put on the list]]. ''[[[TorpedoTits Hakari smacks Karane with her breasts in the background]]]'' You know now that I say that, it might have been a mistake to start this with pure unadultered harem trash like ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'', but I already wrote this sentence so no going back now.

* The third movie triples the number of things that Hermes' staff can do from the first movie!

* Apparently, in Happy Science, Satan is literally an alien cat boy (which isn't an inaccurate description, as he's an alien with pointy ears and a long tail).

-->'''Geoff''': At this point he [Ryuta] basically goes [[Franchise/DragonBall Super Saiyan]], and the glow of his hair reaches all the way up to Heaven, calling down a giant, angelic mecha to [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} pokébattle]] Bihimoss on his behalf. Which seems to turn the tide, but then [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hisler]] busts out a Z-move, and his heck pokémon starts belching fire... By T-posing to assert dominance, Yuko summons a golden shield for the God Gundam, which in turn inspires Ryuta to summon a golden sword to protect her, and the light of them both is enough to blow away Bihimoss and vaporize both Hisler and [[Creator/FriedrichNietzsche Niches]].

* Geoff warns that two of the entries this season are so pungent they may be too much for some to handle. Part of his job is to make sure the guests of Che Garbage are properly warned and the restaurant is free of liability.

** The censoring extends to him merely describing some of the deaths, too, by inserting a voice-over of himself. At one point, this leads to one character, who's gotten the order to command any of his classmates to do anything he wants, to tell a classmate who'd slept with his girlfriend (which, due to how the titular game works, would've literally killed them both had they not gone through with it) to "''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' [him]self and move to a nice farm upstate."[[note]]In the original ''Luigi's Mansion'' game, there was a graphical glitch that made Luigi's shadow stand on the wall detached from his body, which made it look like he was hanging from the ceiling. Thus, in this instance, "Luigi's Mansion oneself" is turned into an UnusualEuphemism for committing suicide by hanging.[[/note]] [[BrickJoke Later on]], when said character is compelled to hang himself anyway as punishment for not doing so as ordered, his dead body is [[GagCensor censored with a screenshot from the game in question]].

* "And then the funniest possible thing happens" tends to be said by Geoff as a RunningGag whenever the anime has a particularly {{Narm}}y moment.

* The "Volume 1" video starts off strong, with a discussion of the Happy Science cult's first feature-length anime (''Hermes: Winds of Love''). The fact that this chapter of the review is titled "Hermes: Winds of Divorce" should clue you into how its ReincarnationRomance plot turned out in real life.

* The description of the climax of "Laws Of Eternity". Yes, the film pronounces their names like that, and yes, this is basically what happens.

* During the ''Rebirth of Buddha'' review, Geoff CrossesTheLineTwice while commenting about the plot point involving "the ''one'' afterlife punishment Jeffrey Epstein's ''not'' getting" being so harsh according to Happy Science theology.

-->"All of her [i.e., Mami's] villain behavior only counts as 'villain behavior' if you believe Kazuya Kinoshita deserves to be happy. And I absolutely, categorically do ''not''."

* Geoff gets ready to talk about ''Manga/UndeadUnluck'', but he can't, because Disney and Hulu not only have poorly marketed the show, but haven't made it legally available to watch in Canada. Thus the trash rating goes to Disney themselves for denying him that opportunity.

* ''Manga/RagnaCrimson'' follows Ragna, a teenage dragon hunter, who travels with and looks after Leonica, the ChildProdigy.

* He wants to compliment ''Manga/RentAGirlfriend'''s third season for adapting the arc that originally gave him hope that there would ''finally'' be progress, only to remember that the story (based on the manga thus far) is doomed to undo all its progress. He describes the new character Mini as "a simp for ''Rent-A-Girlfriend'' itself" and the perfect AudienceSurrogate, and is about to commend her as an impressively brazen way to push the plot forward, but once again reminds himself that it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The "trash rating" is what at first appears like supposedly perfectly normal, empty trashcan, but upon closer inspection, it turns that it actually appears to be bottomless, it's emitting oppressive heat, and if you listen closely it sounds like it is emanating distant screams...

* [[TakeOurWordForIt Geoff is forced to only describe the more gruesome content instead of showing it because of the YouTube censors.]] He says if you're not watching the Patreon version, to just imagine the hanged students as "bad MS Paint fanart of ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub''". As he says this, the death scenes in question behind him are [[RelaxOVision censored by some live-action footage of adorable guinea pigs]].

* The anime gets so ludicrous and over-the-top with the characters' deaths that Geoff at one point describes it as "''{{Franchise/Final Destination}}'' [[CrossesTheLineTwice if its parents were cousins]]"…a phrase that goes from already being hilarious to outright hysterical [[HilariousInHindsight since the prequel manga reveals]] that ''[[AccidentallyCorrectWriting this is actually a pretty accurate description of how the King’s Game started in the first place.]]''[[note]]To make a long, convoluted story short and just as convoluted; The village where the King’s Game originated had an urn that housed some kind of super-poison/virus made from the blood of 32 venomous insects who fought to the death. Natsuko and a guy named Kazunari, who lived in the village, were cousins [[KissingCousins who fell in love and wished to marry]], but the rest of the village wouldn’t allow it. In a fit of rage, Natsuko knocked over the urn, spilling the contents and infecting herself and eventually the rest of the village with it, which started the King's Game through hand-written letters. Natsuko actually died from this, but Kazunari, who was the only survivor, managed to get her revived by [[FridgeLogic somehow]] adding that as a stipulation to the game.[[/note]]

* Towards the end, Geoff reveals that he was EvilAllAlong and that if you don't share the video, you'll die A la Literature/TheRing. Much like the anime, he still can't keep his lore straight. He even changes the number of people you have to share it with mid-sentence to get more views!
