*** Though in his Nerd Challenge of winning the Olympics in the game, he said if you played with a controller it worked much better.



* MadDoctor: Dan in Surgeon Simulator 2013. He will tear every organ out of the body even when it isn't in the way, use a hammer to destroy ribs and skulls, and at the end of his Surgeon Simulator in Space video even tried to achieve the quickest kill using what he called a tomahawk.

However, I don't keep raw video footage, so THIS GAY KISS! *shows footage of kiss* will stay there forever. For anyone with a problem of that, I've decided that Jimmy is bi. Deal with it.

* EpicFail: Every time he plays a simulator. Every time.
-->'''Dan:''' (Before every simulator) I sincerely apologize to anyone that [insert anyone who actually does what the game is simulating].
** Also Lampshaded in his Microsoft Flight Simulator X video, where he fails all video at one objective: landing the plane.
-->'''Dan:''' If you ever get on a plane and the pilot's voice comes over the intercom and it's mine, run. Just jump out of the plane. You have a better chance of survival.
** And according to Dan, the London 2012 Olympic Games's (the official video game) keyboard controls.
-->'''Dan (After failing at the triple jump):''' The problem with your jump, my friend, is that this game was made by a GIBBON!!!


Added DiffLines:

** Also in his Nerd Completes: Bully Let's Play to homophobes. Jimmy needs health, but there's no girls around to kiss. So he ends up kissing a guy, resulting in "THIS GAY KISS!"

-> '''Hello, procrastinators!'''

Nerd Cubed is a British LetsPlay WebSite/YouTube created by Daniel Hardcastle and run by Daniel Hardcastle and Wot Fanar, devoted to gaming and reviewing games. It can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialNerdCubed here]]. Largely inspired by Hannah Hart's My Drunk Kitchen series, it combines quick editing with strange, unexpected humor and real-time gameplay.

----
!!''Nerd Cubed'' provides examples of:

* {{Adorkable}}: Daniel himself, without question. That is, when he isn't being a DeadpanSnarker.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: [=DadCubed=]. Oh, god, [=DadCubed=].
* AprilFoolsDay: For April 1, 2013, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDaUQ1JXw8g Dan decided to take a new direction and play]] ''VideoGame/HappyWheels'' with a face cam, not unlike LetsPlay/PewDiePie. [[spoiler:The video only lasts for about two minutes before showing twenty minutes of WebSite/YouTube's "An error occurred. Please try again later" message.]] Mostly meant as a TakeThat.
* AwkwardFatherSonBondingActivity: Awkward isn't really the right word.
* CatchPhrase: "Hello, procrastinators!"
** *Dan makes obviously false statement* "True story."
** "Lovely jubbly!"
** "Are you ready for this jelly?" and variants.
* DeadpanSnarker: Daniel again. He frequently does this when making a joke about the matter at hand.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Inverted; Dan's dad, Steve, began to show up on the channel in "Father-Son Days" videos. Apparently, he really enjoyed the experience, because he eventually got his own YouTube channel, [=DadCubed=].
* OneOfUs: In addition to the whole video games shebang, Dan is a fan of ''ProfessionalWrestling''.
* RecycledTitle: This confuses him when he tries to play ''VideoGame/SimCity'' (a video that mostly amounted to a rant about always-online {{DRM}}):
--> '''Daniel:''' Hello procrastinators, and welcome to ''[=SimCity=]''! This is the ultimate city building...sand...box...balls! I put the wrong footage up! ''Why do modern games all have the same name as old games!?'' I don't understand, I do apologize, hang on... (switches to Micropolis)
* TakeThat: In his Microsoft Flight Simulator X video:
--> '''Daniel:''' Whoops, I killed the [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem Tories]]!\\
'''Video text accompanied by applause:''' And nothing of value was lost.
* WorldGoneMad: When he challenges himself to survive GrandTheftAutoIV's Carmageddon mod, he very much believes that Liberty City has turned into one of these. And for good reason.
* WrongGenreSavvy: In ''VideoGame/GoneHome'' he knew all the horror tropes to avoid... which would have useful if it wit actually was a horror game.
