History YMMV / CHUGGAACONROY

** As mentioned above, Emile has gotten flack from fans of the later ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' games ([[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam its crossover with Mario & Luigi]]) with fans of these later games (particularly ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'') feel he's judging the game too much for what they aren't rather than what they are.
** Over the years Emile has gained flack for his negative viewpoint on ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]]'' with him going as far on one occasion to call them the worst mainline Pokémon game[[note]]Though he followed it up by mentioning he's never played the Sinnoh remakes nor does he plan to[[/note]]. Many fans of the remake feel he's letting the omission of the Magma Hideout and Battle Frontier cloud his judgment of the games.

** Aidan the Eevee became known as an almighty BloodKnight among the fanbase shortly after his debut episode in the ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' LP. During Chugga's very lengthy attempt to capture him, Aidan nearly wiped out his entire team, which included [[OlympusMons Victini]]. Fans quickly dubbed him a godslayer, with Chugga himself joking that he probably spared the other Pokémon at Castelia Park from his wrath by adding him to his team.

** Haywire the Zebstrika, who ''always'' gets shown up by Terrabite the Krookodile.

* AbandonShipping: Quite a few viewers were vocally insistent that Chugga and LetsPlay/MasaeAnela's friendship was something more, with said viewers taking their constant denial of such as them either ignoring their own romantic feelings or trying to hide an existing relationship with each other for privacy. The ship would sink when, in 2021, [[https://twitter.com/MasaeAnela/status/1446306340712984582 Masae stated]] that she's dating [[https://youtube.com/user/BrettUltimus BrettUltimus]], followed shortly by Chugga revealing in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJmslLCgjGE Episode 206]] of his ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' Let's Play that he recently went on a date with someone. Chugga even gave an implicit TakeThat to the shippers in Episode 29 of his ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' LP.

** Affection the Misdreavus from his ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' playthrough. Despite having the ability Levitate, opposing trainers [[ArtificialStupidity kept trying to use Ground-type, Ghost type, or Normal-type moves against her]] to no avail. Chugga decided to make her a permanent team member and [[RunningGag kept track]] of how many times the opponent would use moves she was immune to. The "It doesn't affect Misdreavus" gag quickly became the most-remembered part of the whole LP.

%%** Within 0.4 milliseconds of his debut episode in VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2, Aidan the Eevee became known as an almighty BloodKnight for his defeat of Elekid and ''Victini'' and his refusal to be caught. "Hates to lose" indeed.

** Haywire the Zebstrika from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' is divisive with fans just due to how overshadowed she ended up being the entire LP (usually shown up by Emile's Krookodile). She certainly has her fans, having some perfect IV's and admittedly getting better once Emile finally gets some decent moves on her, like Overheat and Wild Charge, while others feels Zebstrika in general is just a Pokémon that tends to suffer from CantCatchUp at higher levels and feel Emile could have chosen a better member for his team (that would still qualify as being underrated). Emile even addresses this in the LP proper, bringing up a vocal part of his viewers that begged him to switch out Haywire (many of them actually wanted Emile to break his usual "no Legendary rule" and add Zekrom to the team, so that there would still be Electric-type coverage), and even admits to having seriously considered retiring Haywire before lamenting that he ''really'' wanted to give her another chance to prove herself and try and make her work... Though by the time ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite2'' rolled around, Chugga admitted that like Trifecta below, he doesn't think of Haywire very fondly in hindsight.

** For a more specific example, The LP of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon FireRed]]'' had Chugga nickname his Spearow/Fearow "Khold", as a (lighthearted) TakeThat to fellow Let's Player "The Khold One", for using a Farfetch'd (which you get by trading a Sperow for it) on his team. In 2009, The Khold One was a relatively popular Let's Player, with him and Chugga having comparable viewership. In the time since the ''[=FireRed=]'' Let's Play, however, The Khold One has fallen into obscurity, with his last Let's Play occurring in January 2014.

** On the giving end, Chugga pulled one on fellow {{L|etsPlay}}Per The Khold One in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon FireRed]]'': in Khold's LP of the game, he traded a Spearow for a Farfetch'd only to complain about how much the Farfetch'd sucked. Chugga eventually names his Spearow Khold to show him what "he could've had". Considering how awesome the Spearow [[note]] later Fearow[[/note]] is, it freaking works.

** Pango and Croque ended up being Emile's least popular villagers in his ''New Leaf'' LP, however many also feel he unfairly chose them as the designated bad guys of the village after bad first impressions and at times had to bend over backward to keep that narrative going. To anyone that knows how the ''Animal Crossing'' games work, his treatment of Croque, in particular, is actually very unfair, as what the villagers have as catchphrases are meant to be [[VerbalTic Verbal Tics]] with no ill intent, and other things that they say are not only random but they can easily be seen in a nicer context. Fans note all of his villagers tend to display acts of selfishness on occasion but Emile still enjoys their company causing some to accuse Emile of being a hypocrite.[[note]] As an example, Pietro wants to replace his Toy Day gift 4 days after he got it, yet Emile doesn't hold anything against him in the long run, and continues to see Pietro as a favorite[[/note]]. He even brings up the random dialogue in regard to Pango in episode 40, saying that he didn't want to talk about that aspect too much in order to keep the "sitcom" feel of the series intact by making the animals seem real. Even taking this into account that one is supposed to treat the villagers with established personalities, some still feel he treated them a bit unfairly, as he seemed to be intentionally twisting whatever they said to be as negative as possible[[note]]For example, Croque mistakes him for a ghost after he returns from his long absence in Welcome Amiibo and begs him to leave him alone, and Chuggaa interprets this as Croque wishing death on him. Before that, Pango writes him a letter asking if he'd like to hang out with her, and Chuggaa jumps to the conclusion that she's trying to mug him.[[/note]], on several occasions even shooting Croque down or not acknowledging it whenever he actually said something nice or attempted to befriend Emile. Towards the end of the series, however, he did come to accept Croque's catchphrase as just something he says without any ill intent, and agreed to bury the hatchet with him (Pango had long since moved out by this point).

** Chugga '''himself''' became one when he mentioned during the LP of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' he got his apartment because his {{YouTube}} channel came up in Google's autofill before Creator/ChuckNorris.

** Most people don't realize the inflection of Chugga's BigNo prevalent throughout his videos, is a reference to Dr. Robotnik's BigNO in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Searching for "[[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Move Faster Pokey]]!" in the [=YouTube=] search bar now yields "move faster pokey chuggaaconroy" as the second most popular search.
* AntiClimaxBoss: Chugga attempted to build up a big match during the tailend of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' by pitting his team he used the entire journey in ''White'' as Blair against the team LetsPlay/MasaeAnela built in playing ''Black'' version as Whitlea. The first round Emile completely sweeps Masae's team with [[GlassCannon Roc]], and the second round he wins by having a rather unfair advantage as most of Masae's second string were around 3 to 5 levels lower than Emile's team. In the end, Chugga beats Masae twice without losing even a single party member.

** Over the years Emile has gained flack for his negative viewpoint on ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]]'' with him going as far on one occasion to call them the worst mainline Pokémon game[[note]]Though he followed it up by mentioning he's never played the Sinnoh remakes nor does he plan to[[note]]. Many fans of the remake feel he's letting the omission of the Magma Hideout and Battle Frontier cloud his judgment of the games.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: During the LP of ''VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness'' Chugga expressed disappointment with [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash]] for [[spoiler: breaking his promise to return to Pidgeot]]. Fast forward to the final episode of ''Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries'' where [[spoiler: Ash reunites and recaptures Pidgeot]].

** While the bios he gives to all obtainable Pokémon in his Pokémon LP's are a great source of insight as to how useful they are, Chugga's harsh criticisms of lower-tier Pokémon tend to rub their fans the wrong way. While most won't argue with them being bad in competitive play, Pokémon such as frequent punching bags Flareon and Glalie still tend to be perfectly usable in-game. This leads to their fans arguing that his opinions on them are skewed due to looking through the lens of a high-level competitive player, and that is gives casual fans the wrong impression of them.

* MandelaEffect: Several people have claimed Chugga has done a Let's Play of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' or ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', but [[https://twitter.com/chuggaaconroy/status/1331373912022724616 he has done neither one]].

* AcceptableEthnicTargets:
** Whenever Chugga attempts to sound dim-witted he will usually speak in a [[DeepSouth Southern drawl]]. In one video he even elaborates by giving his Southern accent the name 'Clint' and saying the voice has [[MassiveNumberedSiblings 18 cousins]]. It helps that Chuggaa was actually born in Arizona.
** Emile's also made a number of jokes at the expense of Mexicans and the French; crosses over with NWordPrivileges and SelfDeprecation, as Emile's half-Mexican, half-French.
* AcceptableTargets: ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', which he will take a jab at every opportunity he can possibly get due to it being his most hated game of ''all time.'' His disdain for the game got to the point where Emile admitted he plans to intentionally force himself to ''relent'' from mocking it in the Paper Mario 64 Redux. That relenting fueled a different project -- a multi-part video series where, contrary to Emile's usual celebration of games, he minutely analyzes Sticker Star and comments on every aspect he finds unenjoyable.
