History YMMV / BloggerBeware

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Despite poking fun at "Early '90s Cultural References" being one of its hallmarks, the blog ironically became a time capsule of its era as well. Troy's posts frequently reference then-recent movies and ongoing television series (eg. ''Series/MadMen'', ''Series/PushingDaisies'', ''Series/{{Whitney}}'') and recent political and cultural events (such as the housing bubble) that mark it as a product of the mid-to-late 2000s. Particularly the ''Cuckoo Clock of Doom'' entry with its RunningGag promoting '''''Film/{{Juno}}'' (In Theaters Now)''', which is PlayedForLaughs.

** In the quiz entry for ''Werewolf in the Living Room'', one question asks how the protagonist is different from the norm. The correct answer is "eleven years old" but the first choice was originally "gay". (It was later changed to [[TakeThat intelligent]]. The franchise would actually introduce a gay protagonist in one of the [[ComicBook/{{Goosebumps}} IDW comics]].

* ReviewsAreTheGospel: ''Goosebumps'' fans have a tendency to base their opinions off of the blog, since Troy is by far the most popular ''Goosebumps'' reviewer.

* HilariousInHindsight: Granted, the blog is currently still on hiatus, but consider the following: Troy mentioned in his retrospective of the original Goosebumps line of books that once he finished reviewing the "Horrorland" series, the blog would end. At the time (July 07, 2008), it was announced that it was a 12 book series and was the only known Goosebumps series to be announced. Then Stine extended it to 19... then extended it ''again'' with "Hall of Horrors" (6 books)... [[OverlyLongGag then followed that series up with "Most Wanted" (currently consists of 7, technically 8]][[note]][[OverlyLongGag if you include "Wanted: The Haunted Mask"]][[/note]][[OverlyLongGag , books and 2 special editions)]]... ...'''''and a [[Film/Goosebumps2015 movie]]'''''...
** Also, in the 2007 review of "How I Got My Shrunken Head", Troy makes a comment about how there's nothing more boring than [[LetsPlays watching someone else play video games]], and says that the main character of the book -- who plays video games very excitedly and is named [[WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} Mark]] -- would become a sensation on Website/YouTube.

* FandomRivalry: Nostalgia blog Snarky Two-Shoes began reviewing Goosebumps books in 2009. That blog's fans frequently commented on Blogger Beware in 2009-2010, usually talking up Snarky while insulting Troy. [[SeriousBusiness Several flame wars ensued]], leading Troy to issue a moratorium on mentioning the other blog.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Usually Troy will make up for his long absences with an especially detailed and funny review. His [[http://www.bloggerbeware.com/2009/06/series-2000-20-be-afraid-be-very-afraid.html entry on ''Be Afraid - Be Very Afraid!'']], coming after a six month hiatus, remains [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments one of his most popular reviews]].

** The review of ''Werewolf Skin'' had a comment that Stine really likes the names Alex and Hannah (those were the third and second times, respectively, that those names were used for a major character, following ''The Ghost Next Door'' (Hannah Fairchild), ''Ghost Camp'' (Alex Altman), and ''The Blob That Ate Everyone'' (Alex Iarocci). When another Hannah shows up in one of the short story collections, Troy even comments on it in the entry. Guess what the fictional RL Stine's daughter in [[Film/{{Goosebumps}} the movie]] is named? [[spoiler: Thus, an avid fan of the blog might be at a disadvantage compared to a slightly less voracious fan of the books to spotting the twist before it happens: Hannah Stine actually ''is'' Hannah Fairchild.]]

* CriticalResearchFailure: In several reviews, Troy refers to R.L. Stine as a WASP (usually when mocking his supposed insensitivity towards ethnic/minority groups), even though Stine is Jewish.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: His [[FlatWhat "What."]] joke can come across as tiring and unfunny due to being used in almost every single blog entry.
* ReviewsAreTheGospel: Goosebumps fans have a tendency to base their opinions off of the blog, since Troy is by far the most popular Goosebumps reviewer. Particularly all the bizarre adoration directed at Andy even though she's the one who causes most of the problems in the books.

* BLAMEpisode: ''Earth Geeks Must Go!'' is written from the perspective of a psychiatrist examining Troy about his blogging fatigue. It's less a review than an excuse for Troy to vent his frustration with ''Series 2000'', which he didn't even read as a kid and has no nostalgia for, unlike the original books.
