History Trivia / YogscastMinecraftSeries

* ReferencedBy: [=RTGame=]'s pickaxe in ''WebVideo/SMPLive'' is named "DIGGY DIGGY HOLE".

* ThrowItIn:
** Going hand-in-hand with going OffTheRails. Mr. Astley, for example, was ''not'' intended to be a creeper; the creeper had just randomly spawned in the dark basement that was meant to store the redstone mechanisms to play a noteblock rickroll as a door trigger that was never finished.
** Duncan's constant giggling during his conversation with Rythian was because he couldn't stay in character, but Rythian liked how it ended up making him look like a mad scientist.
** The Voltz "bomb" episode is probably the most remembered episode of that mod series, and it's entirely a massive combo of this and OffTheRails. Notably the fact that [=SipsCo=], team Honeydew, and Ridge weren't even supposed to know eachother were in the server yet.

* ColbertBump: Moonquest brought a weird example. After Simon gave a shout out to a man on Twitter named #1 Bird Dad, said Twitter user gained thousands of new followers.

* ArtistDisillusionment: LetsPlay/LewisBrindley has said that he's ''really'' tired of people badgering him about "Shadow of Israphel", and that it actually demotivates him.

** None of the people who worked on the Jaffa Factory series are really fond of the bee breeding and power supply part of it. In part 7 of [=MoonQuest=], Simon explicitly says that once the Jaffa Cakes started being shipped onto the truck, the series after that got "really boring". They've said that if they can find a way to breathe life back into the series and freshen it up, they will, but tell us not to hold our breath. [[spoiler:They go back to the factory in Episode 96 of Moonquest]]. The bees are themselves used as a punchline in many later jokes, like Simon attacking a fellow Yogscast member morphed into a Nether wasp in ''[=JaffaQuest=]'', and Israphel being stung by bees in ''Israphel Animated'' when giving an order that [[MondegreenGag rhymes with bee]].
** While Turps didn't actually work on ''SOI'' himself, he feels that the fandom has over-rated the show and that the Yogscast has made better content since then.
** LetsPlay/{{Sjin}} admitted that while he was pleased with ''Cornerstone'' on the whole, parts of it weren't entirely to his liking. He also felt that the series was starting to run out of steam, hence its eventual ending at the end of Week 23.

* SeriesHiatus: The Shadow of Israphel. When the series seemed to abruptly stop putting out new episodes in the middle of season three, there were/was/is lots of speculation that it had become an OrphanedSeries. Lewis has said that it simply can't be continued at the moment because of real life constraints (such as certain mods not updating), failed attempts to relaunch it and some of the original crew not being around any more (not that it stopped complaining about SOI's hiatus or speculation he was lying). Every once in awhile they throw in a ShoutOut in some of their other series alluding to/joking about SOI taking so long/being constantly delayed.
** Zoey and Rythian's series, due to Zoey's self admitted perfectionist streak frequently causing her to work to the point of mental exhaustion, building off camera for 2 weeks just to get 20 minutes of footage. Zoey said in 2017 that between that, and the servers changing multiple times, it's unlikely they're ever going back to Blackrock or Mushbury.

** According to a Q&A with Rythian, Teep the Dinosaur was originally going to just run around and be an EasterEgg[=/=]FreezeFrameBonus during Rythian's Tekkit series. Then Teep killed Zoey on accident in a million-to-one chance, and from there they just decided to incorporate him into the story.

* WordOfGay: Inverted. Zoey is a lesbian in RealLife, but her ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' persona, in a manner similar to Sulu from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', has an interest in the male Rythian in ''The Blackrock Chronicles''. She has since created another version of her Minecraft character whose love interest is her irl girlfriend Fiona, and explained it away as a parallel dimensions/universes thingy.
* WordOfGod: LetsPlay/{{Rythian}}'s status as a possible Enderman/human hybrid has been declared "[[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57981146997/wait-i-dont-really-follow-your-minecraft-series-as not canon]]" by Rythian. Rythian himself has said that [[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57975236093/water-hurts-endermen-if-rythian-is-hurt-by-enderbane the Enderbane sword stinging him doesn't mean that he himself is an Enderman]], and why it does ''that'' "[[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57989827340/sorry-for-continuing-the-question-trail-but-if-rythian would be spoiling things]]". In a follow-up question, Rythian acknowledged the word "Enderborn" used in several places by simply saying [[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57990999975/i-know-im-late-to-the-party-and-flogging-a-dead-horse "Enderborn" was the "Our Blackrock Story Carries On" lyric, not "Enderman"]].
* WordOfSaintPaul: Nilesy jokingly admitted on Tumblr that the thing Zoey (the character) whispered in his ear in the Blackrock Chronicle that she claimed would become important in a later season was "[[http://twirliest.tumblr.com/post/60089253370/zoey-does-your-character-in-blackrock-have-any isn't [Rythian] such an enderhunk]]".

* ReferencedBy: [=RTGame=]'s pickaxe in ''WebVideo/SMPLive'' is named "DIGGY DIGGY HOLE".

* NamesTheSame: LetsPlay/DuncanJones shares his real name with a certain director, a Mr Creator/DuncanJones, the director of the films ''Film/{{Moon}}'' and ''Film/SourceCode''.
** Simon lampshades this, along with a few other examples in an episode of [=MoonQuest=]:
-->'''Simon:''' We're so sorry for that. Any complaints you have can be directed to Duncan Jones... the director. You can also send them to Simon Lane, the violinist, or Lewis Brindly, the child actor.

** Around January 2014, all the parody music videos on all channels were made private owing to [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment copyright]]. Mirror uploads are still available, but their quality is mostly inferior and the majority are hour-long versions, "nightcore" and so on. Most have since been re-uploaded.

** If the Twitter pages for Sparkles* and Sjin are any indication, there are a long list of parodies that will never see the light of day due to the whole [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment copyright issue]]. Among these was a parody of a song from ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' that Sjin really wanted to do. On the plus side, the copyright thing at least led to "[=MoonQuest=]", "Diggy Diggy Hole" and many other original songs.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETdlfG3n6F8&feature=youtu.be A stream]] revealed an animation for ''Shadow of Israphel'' that is semi-finished, intended to accompany either the 43rd episode or a later one. It features [[spoiler:the Jade Sentinel fighting Swampy and Fumblemore, the Skyhold, Isabel and the pirates, and the Templars, with [[TheBadGuyWins the Jade Sentinel defeating them all]]]]. [[spoiler: It is actually a dream sequence that Knight Peculier saw, meaning he was going to survive his plunge into the green lava, and would've likely reunited with Lewis and Simon had the series continued]]. The animation was being worked on so far back that Music/Area11 music, of the kind used to make the channel outro during the days of ''Jaffa Factory'' was used as the soundtrack of said animation.
