Some of the older Old Shame entries were in a wrong category after the change, fixed it


** Hystericaldominolego, author of the infamous ''Ihsoy'' story, openly called it a "shitshow" in the comments of the video.
** Seeing as ''Lechuza'' was removed from the App Store at one point, and developer Stroboskops has removed nearly all mentions of it from their official pages, it seems like they feel that way now about said game.

** George Wood's [[Series/GamingInTheClintonYears bizarre reviews]] have left the guys in complete hysterics several times. The most famous example is easily when George requests Eidos to make a storyline where [[VideoGame/TombRaider Lara Croft]] gets [[ItMakesSenseInContext breast cancer]].

* GodNeverSaidThat: A number of people have been led to believe that the crew absolutely hate anyone that they riffed on who make money off of their Let's Plays. In Retsutalk 9, they explain that this isn't the case, and they don't hold it against the users ([[AcceptableTargets unless they are PewDiePie]]). Also in Retsutalk 9, slowbeef and Diabetus both say that they don't actively hate WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic like a number of viewers have argued, and state that he's probably funnier in other videos.

Old Shame is now IUEO, old definition merged with Creator Backlash


** Some [=LPers=] have expressed regret for their featured [=LPs=]:
*** During ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNMudMlmdOE Let's Freak Out!]]'', Slowbeef remarks that the teenager who made the video will regret it in two years. Not only did the original author, violinbow3, comment on the video that he did regret it after two years, he and another guy made a video response praising the RP - he says it's his favourite! - and mocking the original video.
---->'''[=Violinbow3=]:''' I was such a little faggot...\\
'''effruman:''' "Was?"
*** Queenie Z also apologizes often for her infamous ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' [=LP=], claiming that she didn't know much about how Let's Plays worked at the time she started it.
*** Ramey Elalei, the author of the flash game ''Death Trap'', has praised the respective RP and agreed that the game deserved this treatment.
*** [=PizzaTrophy=], who did the original [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISA1RN5lAXI Earthbound video]], says in his comment that he found out about the Retsupurae a while after deleting his videos, and says that the [=RP=] is the only good ten minutes to come out of the hours of videos he uploaded.
*** Sonik Dude 101 has admitted he thought his LP of The Unfair Platformer was horrible. He even apologized to Retsupurae for having to sit through his LP.
*** Velos ultimately apologized for his death threat video, [[https://twitter.com/retsupurae/status/299718982708121600 calling it]] "retarded".
*** Cobra Panic, who filmed the video featured in the since-removed ''Sonic the camcorder hog'' riff, apologized for it in the comments of a reupload years later.
** The commentators themselves have some regrets, such as the following:
*** Slowbeef says that he does feel uncomfortable mocking videos done by younger players (such as the ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' one) and that he tries to avoid that now when possible.
---->'''Proteus:''' I'm not gonna fucking pretend like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibaPEq9qCKg this video's]] okay 'cause the kid's fucking retarded and seven years old.\\
'''slowbeef:''' [[HiddenDepths I'm morally outraged]], but I must agree.
*** On Facebook, Diabetus noted that one of the Retsupurae videos he didn't like was The Nostalgia Critic RP because they simply used their first and only take, which he didn't think was "very funny in retrospect". In the podcast, slowbeef agrees, and states that [=PsychedellicEyeball=] did a better parody; even with the onset of Blip.tv deleting any and all video game footage, the Nostalgia Critic RP is the only one they haven't re-hosted on Youtube.
*** [=ChipCheezum=] put the "AMY ROOOOSE!" video on private, later revealing he did it as he felt bad mocking someone that was clearly... not right in the head. He later privatized all the other traditional Retsupurae videos he did with General Ironicus as well, both feeling that they primarily consisted of making fun of kids who wouldn't know better, and thus weren't much better than making fun of the Amy Rose guy.
** On his Formspring, Diabetus admits that some of the older content, such as making transgender jokes during the "wario" video wasn't very funny and not the type of humor they'd like to do anymore.
** Slimebeast, the author of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmITolSZ7iw "I HATE YOU"]], admits that it's his least favorite work of his and that he'd change a lot of it if given the chance.
*** Some context might be needed though since the author immediately called it "a straight faced joke" in [[http://z3.invisionfree.com/bogleech/index.php?showtopic=3211 the original posting of the story]].
** [=Koridai011=], who made the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTlZAJ9Yp68 Toy Story FNAF Flash game that was riffed on]], commented on the video that he was embarrassed by his game as well, stating that he made it years earlier as a test demo in Flash.

** Unfortunately, the two classic "Happy Halloween" videos have been made private by slowbeef, because the [=LPer=] being riffed, Queenie Z, was revealed afterwards to have autism and, even after apologizing for the poor LP and remaking it, was ''still'' being harassed for her poor first attempt. [[FunnyAneurysmMoment What makes it worse]] is that, despite obviously being rather uncomfortable to watch knowing how she has been treated for it, it still features some of the most memorable jokes done by the riffers.
