** For the ''[[Manga/DragonBallZ Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu]]'' episode of ''The Worst Fighting Game'', both Creator/KaiserNeko and [=Takahata101=] of Creator/TeamFourStar briefly [[RoleReprise reprise their roles as Nappa and Future Trunks]] from ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' to point out how much better (if only a little bit) the game would be with voice clips.[[invoked]]

** Multiple times during the ''VideoGame/SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague'' ''Wha Happen'' episode, Matt makes multiple jabs at [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros. Discovery]] for vaulting and/or writing off multiple projects just to save money. During the same episode, he also makes a jab at the [[Sandbox/TheGameAwards 2023 Game Awards]] for rushing the award winners' speeches, showing the infamouse "Please Wrap It Up" teleprompter in the process.

** ''VideoGame/GodzillaUnleashed'' went through hell as the developers Atari/Infogrames and Pipeline Studios decided to go all-in on the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii's Wiimote and Nunchuck controls, a decision that hampered production of the game. A Playstation 2 version was made, but it was a refurbished ''VideoGame/GodzillaSaveTheEarth'' originally meant for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable. Despite wonky controls, a disjointed story mode, two OriginalCharacter entries that upset Godzilla fans and a savaging by reviewers, the game sold 700,000 copies, surpassing ''Save The Earth''. So, why wasn't a fourth game that started with ''VideoGame/GodzillaDestroyAllMonstersMelee'' greenlit? Producer Kirby Fong, a huge ''kaiju'' and ''tokusatsu'' fan, had left Atari for greener pastures before ''Unleashed'' was released, thus without a champion to push for a fourth game, the Godzilla license languished as Pipeline moved to other projects, like High Moon above, working on franchises like ''Call of Duty''. A SpiritualSuccessor was planned via Kickstarter called ''Colossal Kaiju Battle'', but with the death of one of the developers who had in-depth knowledge of the old Godzilla engine, that quickly fell apart.

* StunnedSilence: Matt is dumbfounded when, in his ''Wha Happun?'' episode on ''VideoGame/FinalFight Revenge'', he reads [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a scathing review for it]] from ''Gamefan Magazine'', which says that the game was so bad that it made the original ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'', which was released on the Platform/SegaSaturn during its launch, look good.

** Poor ''{{VideoGame/Darkwatch}}'' and High Moon Studios, went through DevelopmentHell and dodged being absorbed by Sega and the difficulty in finding a publisher to get released, and despite having high ratings and (allegedly, as Matt couldn't find any reliable data) sales never saw a sequel because Vivendi was more interested in forcing them to make spinoffs of [[Film/TheBourneSeries]] than they were picking up on what could have been a lucrative franchise. Despite having started and put in a lot of work on the sequel in hopes of impressing the higher ups into greenlighting it, Vivendi was never willing to greenlight ''Darkwatch 2''. [[FromBadToWorse And then the Activision/Blizzard merger happened]] and forced High Moon to abandon development of the game entirely to make High Moon work on (admittedly still very good) [[VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron the Transformers Cybertron series]], a decision which lead to the four leaders of High Moon leaving the company in disgust at their passion project being stone-walled. After releasing the ''[[VideoGame/Deadpool]]'' video game, High Moon Studios was quietly forgotten about by Activision Blizzard and like many developers that they did this to, currently languishes making cosmetics for ''Franchise/CallOfDuty''.

** The ''Wha Happen?'' episode for ''VideoGame/FinalFight Revenge'' has a brief appearance by WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, revealing he had a copy of the game that Matt gave him... [[HypocriticalHumor after Matt reveals how ridiculously expensive it is now]].
