** In a similar vein, his first video on ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' had him fall in love with the webswinging after a couple of seconds. He'd been waiting for a long time for a game that could top the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]]'s ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2'', and he's giddy over having finally got it.

* In a meta sense, the several {{Take That}}'s at {{VideoGame/Hunie Pop}}. He shows outright disgust towards the game's sexist... everything, seems to show concern for some of the characters, and, of course, there's the swimsuit section.

It's a surprisingly sweet moment in a slew of videos where they cheerfully insult and murder each other, and shows that yes, they are family.
