History YMMV / Botchamania

* ArchivePanic: There are currently well over ''400'' episodes of the series,[[note]]though it should be noted that technically there's actually no Botchamanias 1-3, or at least not ones made by Maffew: Botchamania in its current form was created in response to three poor-quality compilations of wrestling bloopers called "Botchamania" created by two different people; Maffew reasoned that he could do better, so his first actual Botchamania was titled "Botchamania 4", though he did compile the best-quality clips he could find from the original videos into a new entry called "Botchamania 1, 2, & 3 Maffew Edition",[[/note]] each about 10-15 minutes long, with more coming out every couple of weeks. Making matters either worse or better, dozens of them have been taken down or lost, meaning you probably ''can't'' see them all, even if you wanted to.

* HarsherInHindsight: Wrestling/MikeAdamle’s "Jeff Harvey" quote, which is famously immortalised in the ''Botchamania'' intro, becomes far less funny with the revelation that he was suffering from CTE at the time, and that he was eventually diagnosed with dementia in 2017. ''Botchamania'' removed him from the intro in response to that announcement out of respect to him.

* JustHereforGodzilla: A lot of fans only care about watching the ending skits.

** He was also apparently reluctant to include A.R. Fox in 179, as he added text saying "A.R. Fox deliberately makes mistakes to try and make us think he's human."
* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: While commenting personally on the video for Botchamania 92. Maffew explains what he was doing while editing the video and [[OldShame why he wasn't particularly fond of the video itself]].
-->'''Maffew''': This was made around the time I took E for the first and last time. This was made during the god-fucking-awful comedown and I don't tend to re-watch this one much. It explains why the ending is as strange as it is... Halloween 3, Full Metal Jacket, Akira and Street Fighter The Movie. And Phillip Glass. '''NOT EVERY IDEA IS A GOOD IDEA'''.

* ColbertBump:
** Played straight with Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, who now help sponsor Maffew's site.
** Shortly after it was uploaded, Botchamania 173 was removed for copyright violation against CZW LLC. It would be resubmitted a day later with a TakeThat in place of the questionable footage, but two days after that, DJ Hyde himself apologized and clarified that he appreciates the exposure. It turns out that it was the result of a misunderstanding: [[http://botchamania.com/blogamania-1-6-11/ CZW's legal arm wrongly called for its removal and wasn't aware that the owner of the company actually approved its use in Botchamania.]] Maffew is now allowed to use CZW material pending approval from DJ Hyde on a case-by-case basis.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: The ending to Botchamania 157 / 158. Protester attempting suicide via stagedive? Not very funny. Protester attempting suicide via stagedive while overdubbed with New Jack's entrance? Utterly hilarious.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mongo, Airhorn Guy, & Sabu.

* MoneyDearBoy: A number of fans have called out Maffew over allegedly selling out to Chikara after showing a full-length ad at the start of Botchamania 174, [[OlderThanTheyThink although Maffew was doing that as far back as 155]].

** Wrestling/CodyRhodes telling a story about an angry Wrestling/TedDiBiaseJr complaining to Vince [=McMahon=] in regards of the botched finish of a match (in which he was supposed to pick up the win) that the referee was trying to "FUCK ON ME!" Similar to the truck horn above, several Botchamanias following the episode it was first shown had an ending featuring the clip mixed into music, such as Music/AHa's "Take On Me" or Music/{{ACDC}}'s "Have a Drink on Me".

* BigNameFan:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aESi5b6Z798 Jim Cornette.]] He's even acknowledged the "Cornette Face" and "FUCK THIS COMPANY" memes various times.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmVqfzzI1ys As well as several active wrestlers]], some of whom have actually been featured in Botchamania.
** When Wrestling/CMPunk was asked on Twitter how many times he thinks he's been featured on Botchamania, he responded, "Hopefully tons! What fun!"
** In later episodes, intros are provided by various pro-wrestlers.
** Wrestling/{{Paige}} has called another diva "Queen of Botchamania" in a promo.

** 159: "[[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Bowser's Theme]]" vs. "[[Music/RunDMC My Adidas]]" .

** "[[Music/{{Metallica}} I AM THE TABLE!]]"[[note]]Specifically [[https://youtu.be/C25L4P79wY8 The View]]. Used anytime a table doesn't break, and occasionally spliced with other music.[[/note]]

** [[Wrestling/RandySavage "SEND FOR THE MAN!"]][[note]]Used whenever someone [[{{Corpsing}} Corpses]], it's always followed by the infamous WCW Monday Nitro bit where Randy slaps Torrie to make her stop corpsing in what was supposed to be a dramatic and scary scene. Bonus points for doing a chiptune riff of ''Beat It''.[[/note]]

* MisBlamed: With how often Maffew himself has sounded off about the state of copyright on youtube (as well as how often his youtube channels have fallen victim to it), a lot of viewers could be forgiven for thinking copyright was the reason why "I've been in the danger zone", "JEEZUS" and "We're comin' for you, nigga" were noticeably missing from the intro to Botchamania 388. As Maffew pointed out on his twitter, they were actually cut from the intro by accident and he didn't notice until people pointed it out (presumably while inserting the usual CouchGag over "The Yapapi").

* OneSceneWonder: Raja Lion, an amazingly unskilled puro wrestler who fought in only two matches, both of which can be seen in Botchamania 119. He is honored with a brief appearance in the series intro (he's the guy who bumps his head into the entrance due to his height).

* RetroactiveRecognition: Wrestling/KevinSteen, Wrestling/SamiZayn, and Wrestling/AntonioCesaro are some of the folks who did Botchamania intros while working the indie circuit in high school gyms around the country before becoming big WWE stars.
* {{Squick}}: A [[HighPressureBlood particularly nasty blading incident]] is featured in a CZW botch in Botchamania 160.

* TearJerker: The end of Botchamania 244 accurately describes the utter fucking despair of WWE fans going into Wrestlemania 30.
** "I didn't think [[TearJerker/BryanDanielson the original image was depressing enough]], [[Franchise/{{Superman}} so I added]] [[https://twitter.com/maffewgregg/status/697136474702086144 another.]]"
* TheWoobie: Maffew apparently feels some guilt including Sonjay Dutt in Botchamania, saying that he "deserves better" each time he's featured.

** The sound of [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock's]] imitation of a truck horn, towards Kevin Nash (previously known as Diesel) and the nWo, in 2002, has become such a popular gag, that almost every Botchamania following the episode it was used in has had an ending featuring the clip, usually of it mixed into music.
** [[Wrestling/CodyRhodes "FUCK ON ME!"]]

** In more recent episodes, intros are provided by various pro-wrestlers.
