* His complaint that the game doesn't ''support Wi-Fi'' or the [[UsefulNotes/XBox360 Kinetic accessory]] (accompanied by a picture of the [[UsefulNotes/Playstation3 PlayStation]] Move controller). He reasons that the latter is probably because he doesn't "live in [[{{Pun}} Connecticut]]".

* His confusing the final boss's cigar with a marijuana joint and then offhandedly saying that he had to convince his Mom to beat the game for him.

[[AC:''Final Fantasy III'']]
* He assumes that Final Fantasy III was released after II(IV), so he's confused as to why it's on the NES and has much worse graphics.
* He gets up and goes to the bathroom while the opening cutscene of VI is running.
* He complains that [[WarmUpBoss the first bosses]] of Final Fantasy III and VI are both "slow, non-threatening animals"- a turtle in the former and a snail in the latter. That doesn't stop him from losing to both of them, though.
* The reason why he loses to the Whelk. Instead of realizing that the head is the boss's weak spot, he [[TooDumbToLive repeatedly attacks the shell in hopes of breaking it]], resulting in his party getting fried by Giga Volts when the boss retaliates.

* The end of the review has him getting struck in the face with a CGI newspaper, as a ShoutOut to this happening to [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd The Nerd]] in his UsefulNotes/Atari5200 review.

* TRG complains that having an "invincibilility powerup" is a direct ripoff of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''. Cut to footage of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', with Mario dying to a Goomba. On '''[[EpicFail the left edge of 1-1]]'''.

* "I hope you enjoyed the review! I had to rewrite the script a dozen times because I wanted it to be crap instead of pure shit."

* When The Dark Queen appears at one point, he refers to her as [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles "the stupid banana raincoat-wearing bitch."]]

* His RunningGag of "it ''[a game or console]'' just has 'ass' written all over it", accompanied with an ass over the "bad" game or console and a fart sound. The first time, there's a picture of an ass hand-drawn on the Nintendo DS, the second time, the word itself is being displayed on the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' title screen (misspelled "as") and lastly, a picture of [[spoiler: the Pissed Off Angry Gamer falling on his ass]] during the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' character select screen.

** When complaining about the difficulty of the first NES ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Ninja Turtles]]'' and ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'' games (namely the bombs in the infamous underwater level and the apparent lack of armor, respectively), it is accompanied by footage of ''someone else'' completing these "impossible" tasks.

* Just the whole running gag of the bomb being lit. Not only is the set-up absurd (Why would the Third Rate Gamer [[WhatAnIdiot have a bomb lying around his house to begin with?]] Why does he suddenly have fire powers? [[TooDumbToLive Why doesn't he realize that setting fire to something and then randomly throwing it is a terrible idea?!]] Why doesn't his house catch fire?), we see the same close-up shot of the bomb accompanied by the same scare chord[[note]]Which happens to be the sound of when a Fatality is about to be committed in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII''[[/note]] a total of '''nine times''' throughout the review, and it eventually ends with the bomb exploding in a rather [[TheUntwist predictable manner in spite of all the build-up for it]]. We then see a newspaper with a headline saying "Third Rate Gamer Killed by [[SpecialEffectFailure Lame Special Effect]]."

--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' "Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers"? The Power Rangers aren't even in this game! Didn't they test this game before they released it?

-->"Just hold the phone here! "[[Franchise/StarWars Wookie]] Hole"? Why would level be called the "Wookie Hole"? I guess they were trying to appeal to the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fans ''(while briefly flashing a picture of the robot from "Series/LostInSpace")'', but instead they're appealing to piss me off! ''(as the camera quickly zooms just past his "angry" expression)'' They could have called it the "Asshole" for all I care!"

** Then later in the video, he asks what the view thinks the point of the game is, and gives these choices.

* He [[CriticalResearchFailure criticizes the lack of power-ups]], saying that there should be some so that he can play with "optimum performance". When he ''does'' talk about one of the power-ups in the game later in the review, he then says that he'll just delete any comment that points out his error in order to make himself "look good."

* He compares the game's flashing colors in a death sequence to the episode "Electric Soldier Porygon" from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', [[CriticalResearchFailure where he claims that]] the episode ''killed'' hundreds of people.

* His abundance of CriticalResearchFailure:

* He attempts to put a UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game in its proper slot, set to [[MundaneMadeAwesome epic music]]... only the game in question is really ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' for the UsefulNotes/GameGear.

* Early on, we have the player character being circled, with no less than ''[[UpToEleven six]]'' arrows pointing at it, all while the Gamer talks about how the game reminds him of ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' because in both games, you control a character.
