* FollowTheLeader: In the series' wake, several other series have popped up:
** WebVideo/TheAngryGrandpa was the first copycat, and among the best known although Angry Grandpa having begun in 2007 predates the GFOE series which begun in 2009.
** WebVideo/McJuggerNuggets (Jesse Ridgway) created ''The Psycho Series'' in 2012, which started out as a copycat, before becoming a {{Deconstruction}} of the "dysfunctional family" genre, showing the main characters' life falling apart at the hands of his increasingly abusive, power-hungry, and traditionalist father, and runs the gamut of destruction, from video game consoles to mobile homes and entire structures, ending with [[spoiler:the main character shooting his father dead and fleeing to Switzerland]]. The Psycho Series ended with the confirmation that the entire series was staged. Stephen would later react to several Psycho videos when the Wafflepwn channel began livestreaming in August 2021, seemingly unaware that the videos were staged, and referred to him and Jesse as "brothers in arms", with Jesse arranging to meet them. However, the meeting ends in Stephen finding out that the Psycho videos are fake and feeling betrayed and mocked, and Jesse feeling guilty for mocking a man's real temper issues.
** WebVideo/Violette1st is another copycat created in the wake of the runaway success of ''The Psycho Series''. The main character tends to use fire in his freakouts, burning everything from his homework and a malfunctioning smart phone to a laptop, his father's work tools, and even a car. He has also used a BB gun to shoot his homework, a TV, and even his own father (in the ass). At the same time, though, he is often depicted in a sympathetic light due to his father being a [[AbusiveParents verbally-abusive]] FatBastard who rarely uses his real name and frequently calls him a "freakin' jerk" and "freakin' dingbat". Then we have the main character's mother, who is mostly known for her MotorMouth moments. Most viewers agree that the series is fake.
** Angry Grandma is another channel that has cropped up which is similar to The Angry Grandpa channel listed above. Going by their Website/YouTube channel creation date they started in 2010 which was way after The Angry Grandpa.
** Many other users have tried to imitate the Greatest Freakout Ever series, to varying degrees of success.

* BigNameFan: Stephen has had a few big-name fans following his freakout videos, but his hair-trigger temperature has often turned them away.
** Actor Creator/JohnLeguizamo once made a parody of Stephen's first freakout, viewed by many as highly inferior to the original. After learning that Stephen himself disliked his parody, John invited the Quire family backstage to his show. Ghetto Clown, but this didn't smooth things over with Stephen, who threw a tantrum shortly after meeting him in person.
** WebVideo/McJuggernuggets has allegedly viewed Stephen's antics as the inspiration for his Psycho Dad/Psycho Kid series, admiring him enough that he arranged to have a crossover video. Unfortunately, Stephen told him off and sent him packing as well.
