History WebVideo / TheIrateGamer

** His reaction to a genie appearing in his house in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' review. "Whoa, a genie!"

** He used this excuse for not knowing about the parachute cloth in ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''.

** In his review of ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' for SNES, when Abu ate some apples at the end of a level, he edited it to make it look like the apples were actually deducted from your ammo. He admitted in the comments that he passed the flying carpet stage on his first try, so he purposely killed himself to make the stage look harder than it really is.

** His reaction to a genie appearing in his house in the ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' review. "Whoa, a genie!"

** In his ''VideoGame/GodOfWar III'' review. He dedicated a good chunk of this already short review telling "parents" that this game had violence, harsh language, and sex. It's Rated M for Mature, that meant it wasn't intended for people under the age of 17.

** "Fustrated" is one of his {{egregious}} mispronunciations, along with "emenies," "a-static," "fustrating," etc. He is also prone to double negatives ("they don't even make no sense at all", "I can't take it no more!"), and grammar failure ("Most hardest games for the NES"). Other times he uses the wrong word, like saying "infamous" for "famous" and "predecessor" for "successor."

** He also complained when ''VideoGame/HomeImprovement'' didn't have GameGenie codes.

** He has one towards his haters in the ''Top 5 NES Games'' video. When he mentioned that he liked using GameGenie while playing ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'', he brought up that "some elite gamers" will likely criticize him for cheating and responded "You know what? Fuck 'em!"

* RevisitingTheRoots: ''The Irate Gamer'', since the jump to HD, had an ongoing storyline. Close to the end of the storyline, a non-sequential episode on the ''Franchise/DieHard'' [[NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] game was released, and it was closer to the earlier videos (the only remnant from the storyline is a cameo appearance of the Gamer's R.O.B. sidekick). WordOfGod is that after the storyline is finished, there will be more episodes like this.

* AndThisIsFor: In his review of ''VideoGame/{{Jaws}}'', he repeatedly strikes the final blow on the shark for the movies' {{sequelitis}}, and realized he got carried away when he brought up ''SupermanIV''.

* FollowTheLeader: He is perhaps the most prominent follower of the CausticCritic VideoReviewShow trend started by the AVGN, though WordOfGod claims it wasn't The Nerd but "100 other guys doing the same thing".

* ArtEvolution: Tony went from being a ''MapleStory'' sprite to being hand drawn.

** He complained about the fact that Nintendo supposedly never said anything about the whole real ''SMB 2'' thing in America even though it was all over NintendoPower when ''Super Mario All Stars'' was released as a major selling point of that game, and it was even mentioned before that, in a feature on the history of the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' series Nintendo Power ran during the lead up to the launch of the SNES (and its launch pack-in title, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'').

** He has another on his haters in his ''CoolSpot'' review, saying, "These idiots can't even make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without ruining it!"

** He complained that the ''ResidentEvil5'' amateur setting is still too difficult and actually asked "Why couldn't they make the easy setting easier?"

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Complaining in the ''MissionImpossible'' video about his characters being arrested when innocent people are killed by the bombs he's setting off in the street.

* ViewersAreMorons:
** Chris seems under the impression that the people watching have never played a video game... ever!
** Any time he circles something that's blatantly obvious. The playable character, the enemies, the objectives...
** He expected people not to notice the graphical differences in his ''Ghosts 'N Goblins'' review, despite the clear distinction between an NES and an arcade.

** You see the cracked pipe [[ViewersAreMorons labeled "Gas Line"]]? Bores showed it again and again and again to make sure you get the joke. From the same episode, whenever the scene switched between timelines, Bores reminded us what game he's playing. He shouldn't be doing this since it gives the idea that he's aware there are two timelines going on, which he shouldn't.

* {{Flanderization}}:
** The Kool-Aid man is depicted as always saying "Oh YEAH!," "Oh kay," and "Oh no." But in the commercials and comics, he actually speaks in full sentences.

* XMeetsY: He advertised his show as "a combination of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit''".

* AmericanAccents: He has one of the thickest Ohio accents ever, mixed with a slight speech impediment. The accent is most noticeable in the way he sometimes sticks L's where they don't belong (e.g. "bolth" instead of "both", "Jawls" instead of "Jaws", "drawlback" instead of drawback").

* AccentuateTheNegative:

* AnachronismStew:

* ArtEvolution: Tony went from being a ''MapleStory'' sprite to being hand drawn.

* AsideGlance: Used very often. He seems to use this as an indication to the audience, telling them "this is where you're supposed to laugh."

* {{Bowdlerization}}:

* CaptainObvious: Many of his complaints about games stem from common [[InformedFlaw "problems"]] found in '''many''' games.
** He complained that...
*** ''VideoGame/ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'' only gives you 3 lives and passwords and that the game gets harder in later levels.
*** ''The freaking boss life bar'' in his ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' review, never mind there have been hundreds of games before this that have that.
*** That ''Videogame/KirbysEpicYarn'' was intended for kids. Well yeah, the VideoGame/{{Kirby}} series was always intended for younger gamers. How is this any different? Besides, being intended for kids doesn't mean it's bad.
** The green circles. Very often he would circle things that are in plain sight. Notably main characters, enemies, and items that everyone can see. In the Kool-Aid Man review, he circled the playable characters, the objective, and the power-ups.
** You could create a drinking game for each instance where he complained that the game's later levels get harder.
** See [[Quotes/TheIrateGamer the Quotes page]] to read his CaptainObvious sayings.
* CardCarryingVillain: The Evil Gamer. He constantly uses the word "evil", he lives in "The Castle Of Evil", and he asks to do an "evil Aflac Duck" in the Aflac Duck audition sketch.

* DanBrowned:
** An example of this is found in his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' video. He claimed the reason Nintendo didn't release the real ''SMB 2'' due to the game being a MissionPackSequel, neglecting to mention the real reason was the over-the-top NintendoHard difficulty.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment

** See [[Quotes/TheIrateGamer the Quotes page]] to read his large list of DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment sayings.

* DisproportionateRetribution:

** Probably the most blatant example is in the ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'' episode, where at the beginning, Chris explains that lots of people have been coming to his door asking for directions to the big Halloween Party that he isn't even invited to, and the whole gag keeps happening throughout the course of the episode. This gag would have actually worked if he didn't explain it.
** The FacePalm running gag from his ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' video. When he does it, he adds a voice and caption to make sure we know what he's doing. He does this again in his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' review, but mercifully, doesn't add the voice and caption.
** After calling R.O.B. "ROB-o-Cop" after [=RoboCop=], he proceeds to show both names in text in case we didn't get the pun the first time.
* DullSurprise:

* {{Flanderization}}:

** Some of his haters think the Irate Gamer himself is falling into this, believing that he's portraying himself as the mockery seen in countless parody videos.

--> '''Irate Gamer:''' "It’s unclear as to why they copied [''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic''], but some speculated that [''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels''] was [[MissionPackSequel too much like the first game. I guess that’s understandable since having two of the same thing can get stale and repetitive."\\

** Tony is often referred to his catchphrase "Bang-A-Lang".
* IMeantToDoThat: His justification for some of his blatant errors.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Chris very rarely gives credit to other people involved in his videos.
** Haunted Investigators listed his name four times and a "special thanks to everyone involved"
** For actual IG episodes, he never credited the Wise Sage until Aladdin, and even in subsequent appearances he still doesn't credit.
** We still have no clue who played the Predator in that episode.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:

** One of his main complaints about ''[[VideoGame/MarioIsMissing Mario is Missing]]'' & ''Mario's Time Machine'', never mind that the games were made to teach kids about history. This conflicts with the below trope where he constantly whined about games being too hard.
** His main criticism with ''Kirby's Epic Yarn''. People quickly called out his hypocrisy.

** He whined that the ''ResidentEvil5'' amateur setting is still too difficult and actually asked "Why couldn't they make the easy setting easier?"
** If you look in the right places, it's blatantly obvious that he cheated.
*** Examples include suddenly skipping to the last level (''Goonies II'', ''Super Mario Bros 2''), infinite lives (all the Contra games, ''TMNT III: The Manhattan Project''), invincibility (''VideoGame/MonsterParty''), max stats (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII''), or other methods of cheating (''TMNT II: The Arcade Game'', ''CoolSpot'')
** This even went so far that he complained when ''VideoGame/HomeImprovement'' didn't have GameGenie codes.

* ManipulativeEditing:

** As part of a "gag" in his ''Mario's Time Machine'' review, he noted that the Sledgehammer item was placed in 1989 because of PeterGabriel's Sledgehammer Tour, and Bores manipulated it to be so. In actuality the Sledgehammer represented the fall of the Berlin Wall. [[UnreliableNarrator And the song Sledgehammer came out 3 years prior to 1989.]]

** In his R.O.B. review, he said there's a party button. There is none; the first time is obvious, where he deliberately adds a sticker to the controller that says "P" as in party, but then the word "Party" is added to the second game when it wasn't there a second ago. There's no real defense for it; he was telling a joke, but tried to mislead the viewer.
** Often watching the screenshots of him playing and dying to show how "hard" the game is are painful to watch for anyone who has actually played the games. It's pretty obvious that he's either not bothering to TRY not to die, or he just really, really sucked at the game. The ''TMNT'' review is one of the worst culprits. He seemed to believe that the best way to play both of the first two games is to simply walk straight at enemies and randomly swing his weapons, with no attempts to dodge, jumpkick, or use any other style that might make it harder for them to hit you.
*** His ''Contra'' reviews are worse. Most of the time he's not firing his gun and purposely jumped into enemies to emphasize the "this game is so fucking frustrating" complaint.
** Two of the six "never-before-seen" games shown in the third ''History of Video Games'' video were created by Bores himself.

** A blink-and-you-miss-it instance during this four-player game of Spot the Video Game on NES. At the end the screen announced "Player One Defeated" in obviously fake text. What kind of four-player game would say "Random Player Loses" instead of "This Player Wins"?
** When playing the Arcade version of ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', he tried to pass off that he was playing the NES version by using the NES controller.
** During the "killing ''That 70's Show'' cast members joke" in ''[=RoboCop=]'', the game being used is ''Hogan's Alley'', not the bonus stage. He couldn't even use the right game!
* NegativeContinuity: The Kool-Aid Man returned in his ''VideoGame/CoolSpot'' review, despite having already been killed off in a previous review.
* NinjaEditor: In the original ''MUSCLE'' review, he said there were no special moves. The system for them was kind of dumb, but it existed. The ''remastered'' review removed that line.
* NominalImportance:

* OrphanedSeries:

* PacManFever:

* {{Plot Hole}}s:
** In his ''Aladdin'' review, he created a plot hole just to tell a terrible joke. IG said he's going to review another game, and the Genie responded "don't take too long, my rug is double parked outside". It should be noted that not even one minute ago, they teleported home after Bores found the Genie in a video game cartridge. Where did the magic carpet come from?
** In his ''Mario's Time Machine / Mario is Missing'' review, when he switches time lines, he'll say "now after doing this in ''Mario is Missing''," or "after doing so-and-so in ''Mario's Time Machine''," which would imply that he knew about both time lines when he shouldn't.
** In his ''MUSCLE'' review, he attempted a Continuity Nod to his first video exclaiming "I'll have to go back in time again, and take care of business". He shouldn't remember doing that because he was erased from time.
** It's clear that IG keeps trying to establish a storyline between his videos, yet he screwed that up when the Kool-Aid Man somehow comes back to life (as seen in his Cool Spot review).
*** In the same video, Chris was willing to give away his Magnavox Odyssey for a free pizza. However when he saw it was his evil twin he told him to go away. Either that was a really good pizza or Bores never proofreads his scripts.
** In a flashback, it was revealed him, Wise Sage, and Tony went to High School... The Contra review is where they ''actually'' first met.

* ProductPlacement: Parodied in his ''Yo! Noid'' review, yet still played straight as he ended the sequence with a promotion for his own T-Shirt.
* ReadTheFreakingManual:
** The Irate Gamer refused to read the ''Contra'' instruction manual for the story during his review of the game in question (even if the US localization suffered from CutAndPasteTranslation), so he believed the game took place in a straight modern war setting in the likes of ''Rambo''. He is then caught by surprise once the aliens started showing up later in the game.
** Happens in the ''Goonies II'' review. When he gets to the end of the game, he expresses surprise that DamselInDistress Annie is a mermaid. Never mind that this is mentioned on the ''very first page'' of the manual. Not having the manual isn't an excuse, as the whole thing's been posted online.

* RougeAnglesOfSatin:

* RuleOfThree:

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: [[invoked]]

* SeriousBusiness: Considering that the AVGN/IG controversy revolved around crappy NES games, the [[FanDumb fans]] of both sure take it seriously.
* ShownTheirWork: Claimed this in the ''History Of Video Games'', despite the reviews showing otherwise.
* SockPuppet: Quite obviously [[http://www.youtube.com/user/iratefanboy345 iratefanboy345]], and also [=LadyBuggin777=], [[http://i46.tinypic.com/2ajum83.png as shown here]].
* SoundEffectBleep:

** In a sketch video, he bleeped out Satan saying "motherfucker".

* SoundtrackDissonance: His theme song, as well as the music he used in his video trailers, are rather serious and "epic" considering they were for a video game review show. Probably the worst offender is his ''Home Improvement'' review trailer, which has a deadly-serious orchestra and OminousLatinChanting. It's ''Home Improvement'' on the SNES! How serious could it possibly be?

* TakeThat:

** He attempted one towards his haters in the ''Top 5 NES Games'' video. When he mentioned that he liked using GameGenie while playing ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'', he brought up that "some elite gamers" will likely criticize him for cheating and responded "You know what? Fuck 'em!" This immediately backfired when he followed-up with "even with a GameGenie, this game is really difficult".
** He tried this on his haters in his ''CoolSpot'' review, saying, "These idiots can't even make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without ruining it!" Few actually saw this as a good comeback.
** It's unclear, but one of the "characters" shown in peril in his ''Film/{{RoboCop|1987}}'' review appears to be dressed up to look like AVGN. Except with an eyepatch. This has been commented on several times in the Website/YouTube comments.

* ThisLoserIsYou:
** His constant use of Game Genie and other cheat devices. Made even worse when he doesn't admit he cheated (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' review) or that he was proud of using them (Top 5 NES Games).
** Heck, there's a whole [[http://irategamersucks.blogspot.com/ blog]] dedicated to showcasing his constant failure at everything.
** Aside from his reviews, he had been the target to many jokes, rants and comments from internet personalities including Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Diabetus, Khad, and Slowbeef]].

* UnreliableNarrator:
** When talking about ''Film/{{Hellboy}} II: The Golden Army'', he was excited to see David Hyde Pierce reprise his role as Abe Sapien. Actually, a little research would show Pierce refused to do the sequel and Abe was voiced by Doug Jones (the man in the costume).
** The IG NEO review of ''MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympics'' claimed that "Sega released the Genesis to compete with the Super Nintendo.". The Genesis was released before the SNES everywhere. (In North America the Genesis was released in 1989 and the SNES was released in 1991. Two years does not equal "same time.") He also called the game ''Mario vs. Sonic''.
** In the "pilot" of ''Chris & Scottie Roadtrip'', he said that Metropolis is the hometown of Franchise/{{Superman}}. Except ''Smallville'' is the hometown of Superman in most incarnations. He also said Death Valley is in New Mexico. It's actually on the border of California and Nevada.
** In his ''VideoGame/CoolSpot'' review, he mentioned that the NES game ''Spot: The Video Game'' is based off ''Othello''. Actually, it's based off ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataxx Ataxx]]''.
** His ''History of Video Games'' had many problems.
** This line: "It's also a good example of how Magnavox '''might have been''' trying to market the Odyssey as a board game, rather then a video game'. Of course they were marketing it as a board game; video games were still in the early stages, plus they technically didn't even exist in 1972. That one line alone debunked his claimed "hours of research."
*** He also claimed ''Tank'' was created by Atari. Actually it was created by Kee Games. While it was a subsidiary of {{Atari}}, that detail was kept secret until after ''Tank'' came out.
** He claimed it was ''speculated'' that Nolan Bushnell attended a demonstration of the Odyssey and nobody knew if he was really there. Except for interviews with Atari founders PROVING that Bushnell did see the Odyssey, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9EWb6a2Shg&feature=player_detailpage#t=129s including this]].
** In his ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' review, he had the LJN CEO saying on the phone, "You tell Mr. Silvestri I'll handle all the ''Back to the Future'' games." Alan Silvestri, the person he was referring to, was the composer to the film's music, not the producer.
** In the ''MUSCLE'' review, he claimed that there was only one arena, when there were actually three.
** In his review of ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'' he said that it was accurate to the [[DivineComedy book it was based on]], even though it wasn't a book and it butchered its source material. It didn't help when he claimed to have actually read it. He also thought the original poem was called ''Dante's Inferno''; when in fact, the ''Inferno'' was one section of the longer work which was called ''Commedia'' until Boccaccio added ''Divina'' to the name some years after Dante's death.
** In the second part of his ''Mario's Time Machine'' review, he says that there are 1 or 2 alternate endings, when there are actually 3 endings.
* VerbalTic:

* ViewersAreGoldfish:

* ViewersAreMorons:

* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma:

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids:

* ArcWelding: In his ''Gyromite''[=/=]''Stack-Up'' review, R.O.B. tried to kill him. In his ''{{Predator}}'' review, a Predator tried to kill him. The ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'' review revealed that both incidents are connected to the Evil Gamer.

*** ''ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'' only gives you 3 lives and passwords and that the game gets harder in later levels.
*** ''The freaking boss life bar'' in his ''SonicUnleashed'' review, never mind there have been hundreds of games before this that have that.
*** That ''Videogame/KirbysEpicYarn'' was intended for kids. Well yeah, the {{Kirby}} series was always intended for younger gamers. How is this any different? Besides, being intended for kids doesn't mean it's bad.

** He complained about the fact that Nintendo supposedly never said anything about the whole real ''SMB 2'' thing in America even though it was all over NintendoPower when ''Super Mario All Stars'' was released as a major selling point of that game, and it was even mentioned before that, in a feature on the history of the ''SuperMarioBros'' series Nintendo Power ran during the lead up to the launch of the SNES (and its launch pack-in title, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'').

* DemonicSpiders: In-Universe: One of his complaints about ''IndianaJones and the Temple of Doom''. He seemed to think that they cause you to think your game is glitched at first.

** The FacePalm running gag from his ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' video. When he does it, he adds a voice and caption to make sure we know what he's doing. He does this again in his ''MarvelVsCapcom3'' review, but mercifully, doesn't add the voice and caption.

** His reaction to the third boss in ''{{Contra}}''.

** When talking about ''{{Gyromite}}'' in his R.O.B. video, he keeps calling the main character, Professor Hector, "Professor Gyro".
** In the ''[[{{Kinnikuman}} MUSCLE]]'' review, the original cartoon that the game was based on was called ''Kinnikuman'' (translates into Muscleman) after the main character, not [[FunWithAcronyms MUSCLE]] as he claims.

** This even went so far that he complained when ''HomeImprovement'' didn't have GameGenie codes.
** Inverted in his review of ''NinjaGaiden 3'' where he constantly praised the easy gameplay and button-mashing, an issue that almost every other reviewer has with the game.

** Also in his ''ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'' review when he said the title should have been ''Monsters Ate My Neighbors'' because it had enemies other than zombies.

** In his ''SonicUnleashed'' review, when complaining about the cut scenes and hub worlds, he walked up to the Ice Cream Man NPC, talked to him and whined "Great, more shit from the Ice Cream Man". He tried to pass this off as the game's fault.
** In his ''CoolSpot'' review he said that you have to collect 30% of the red tokens to open the cage. But when he's finishing the game and he opened the final cage it clearly showed he's only got 29%. Even worse, later on when he finished the game for the 'proper' ending it's the same footage as before.

* NegativeContinuity: The Kool-Aid Man returned in his ''CoolSpot'' review, despite having already been killed off in a previous review.

** Not once did he refer to the main character of ''BrutalLegend'', Eddie Riggs, by name.

** A particularly bad example in his ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' video had him intensely ButtonMashing the NES controller in a couple montages. ''He was button-mashing {{Tetris}}''.

* SpecialEditionTitle: The title sequence in the ''Order Up'' review is played backwards to reflect the HostileShowTakeover. The ''ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'' episode also had a special Halloween ThemeTune.

** In the "pilot" of ''Chris & Scottie Roadtrip'', he said that Metropolis is the hometown of {{Superman}}. Except ''Smallville'' is the hometown of Superman in most incarnations. He also said Death Valley is in New Mexico. It's actually on the border of California and Nevada.
** In his ''CoolSpot'' review, he mentioned that the NES game ''Spot: The Video Game'' is based off ''Othello''. Actually, it's based off ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataxx Ataxx]]''.

* [[ActingForTwo Acting For Several]]:
** Chris plays every character on the show except for the Wise Sage and the Genie (the latter has had only one appearance).
** When the Genie finally returns in the ''Silver Surfer'' video, Brad Harp, the genie's original actor no longer plays the genie, as Brad was no longer available, so Bores had to play him himself. This continued in the ''X-Men'' review.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
** In the ''GuitarHero: Van Halen'' review, he complained about how there were other artists beside Van Halen, such as Weezer, Foreigner, Third Eye Blind and '''Billy Joel'''. The game doesn't have Billy Joel, it has Billy IDOL.
** In his 2008 Top 10 Summer Movies video, he called the Hulk's alter-ego Rex Banner instead of Bruce Banner (or even David Banner, which was his name in the TV show). Rex Banner was a one-time character on ''TheSimpsons''.

* DemBones: A recurring character is Ronnie, a chatty skeleton who spoke in [[InformedJudaism a stereotypically]] Jewish way. UnfortunateImplications or just a bad WoodyAllen impression? You decide.

* SockPuppet: Quite obviously [[http://www.youtube.com/user/iratefanboy345 iratefanboy345]].

* ComedicSociopath: Tony in the ''Robocop'' review.

** After calling R.O.B. "ROB-o-Cop" after RoboCop, he proceeds to show both names in text in case we didn't get the pun the first time.

** While looking for a game to play in ''RoboCop'', he sees Rygar but pronounces it "Ray-gar".

** During the "killing ''That 70's Show'' cast members joke" in ''RoboCop'', the game being used is ''Hogan's Alley'', not the bonus stage. He couldn't even use the right game!

** In RoboCop Part 2, he lets out a long string of bleeped cursing.

** It's unclear, but one of the "characters" shown in peril in his Robocop review appears to be dressed up to look like AVGN. Except with an eyepatch. This has been commented on several times in the Website/YouTube comments.

** "Fustrated" is one of his {{egregious}} mispronounciations, along with "emenies," "a-static," "fustrating," etc. He is also prone to double negatives ("they don't even make no sense at all", "I can't take it no more!"), and grammar failure ("Most hardest games for the NES"). Other times he uses the wrong word, like saying "infamous" for "famous" and "predecessor" for "successor."

** In ''RoboCop'', he says the ED-209 "does not go down with a fight". Huh?

** When playing the Arcade version of ''GhostsNGoblins'', he tried to pass off that he was playing the NES version by using the NES controller.

** He expected people not to notice the graphical differences in his Ghosts 'N Goblins review, despite the clear distinction between an NES and an arcade.

* CurseCutShort: Used at the end of his Monster Party review. Yet, he dropped plenty of f-bombs in this video, it doesn't make sense why he would do that.

** Probably the most blatant example is in the ''MonsterParty'' episode, where at the beginning, Chris explains that lots of people have been coming to his door asking for directions to the big Halloween Party that he isn't even invited to, and the whole gag keeps happening throughout the course of the episode. This gag would have actually worked if he didn't explain it.

* FrothyMugsOfWater: The mugs in the ''MonsterParty'' review are clearly filled with apple juice.

** He never referred to Bert by name in ''MonsterParty'', just calling him "The Monster".

* ArcWelding: In his ''Gyromite''[=/=]''Stack-Up'' review, R.O.B. tried to kill him. In his ''{{Predator}}'' review, a Predator tried to kill him. The ''MonsterParty'' review revealed that both incidents are connected to the Evil Gamer.

*** Examples include suddenly skipping to the last level (''Goonies II'', ''Super Mario Bros 2''), infinite lives (all the Contra games, ''TMNT III: The Manhattan Project''), invincibility (''MonsterParty''), max stats (''FinalFantasyIII''), or other methods of cheating (''TMNT II: The Arcade Game'', ''CoolSpot'')

** His constant use of Game Genie and other cheat devices. Made even worse when he doesn't admit he cheated (''FinalFantasyIII'' review) or that he was proud of using them (Top 5 NES Games).

* BizarroEpisode: The Order Up video, the [[EvilTwin Evil Gamer]] hosted the review. Then he vanished for a while. When he reappeared, the Order Up review was never mentioned.
