* ArtEvolution: Inverted. Discussed multiple times across different videos. In his Manga/AttackOnTitan video, John notes ''Bleach'' and ''Naruto'' videos, he cites both series as negative examples of the trope, explaining how Iseyama’s early over time the artwork was rather terrible, with the video focusing on how the in both series experienced its early boom in popularity in spite of both this became more stiff, lifeless and running plastic compared to the more expressive and characterful art of the series' earlier chapters. He cites Hirohiko Araki's art in such an obscure manga publication. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure as a more positive example.

* ForceAndFinesse: Viewed the artists of Shonen Jump’s Big Three with this; Kubo was finesse, with a natural draftsmanship and quality to his art, Oda was force, with an organic expression and punch to the characters and scenes, and while Kishimoto was a good artist, he never really excelled to the level of either with his art.

Kishimoto on the other hand, while good, never really had the abilities of either, something John theorizes was because of a period in his life that he mentions where he fell out of drawing for a while.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: In "The Fall of the Simpsons", John argues that this is what made ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' so dreadful after season 9: it began as a ferocious [[DeconstructorFleet backlash against the cookie cutter sitcom]] of the 1980s, as well as a satire of pop culture, but around the turn of the century, it devolved into the same cheap gags and narratives of sitcoms of the most cheesy sitcoms.

Picture, if you will, a little boy in Ireland, who viewed various things in his life. From the famous tricycle scene from ''Film/TheShining'' that resulted in him going home early from a friend's sleepover, to the fight scene between Goku and Frieza from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', his interests expanded throughout various mediums, such as film, shounen anime, and video games. Later on, that boy grew up, and found some of his favorite internet reviewers like WebVideo/{{Digibro}} and WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd. Inspired by these reviewers, the boy created his own Youtube channel that focused on his various interests in the visual, writing, and even business aspects of fiction, and soon enough, he found great popularity, even receiving a shout out from a few of those very reviewers.

For context, [[spoiler: Senor Pink had a wife and son he always loved, but one day when he was out on a secret mission for the Donquixote family for a week, he found out that his son had died the day he left, with his wife leaving him after learning of his criminal association. She then got into an accident that put her into a catatonic state, with Pink seeing her crack a small smile when he put on a bonnet like their dead son. He continued to dress more and more like a baby to keep her smiling in spite of the ridicule he endured, and even after her death, he continued to dress this way to honor his late family to keep them smiling.]]
