History YMMV / Deji

* EvenBetterSequel: As noted below Dejis performance against YouTuber Fousey has been hailed as his best match yet. Not only was it his first win in his four year boxing career it showed perhaps the most skill and effort the his previous two matches lacked.

* MemeticBadass: After his win against YouTuber Fousey, Deji has been dubbed “Weji” by some of his fan base due to his professional record being 1-0 “undefeated”.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: His first match against YouTuber Jake Paul can ironically be seen as First Instalment Wins due to showing far better skill than the two boxing matches after. However come August 2022 his boxing match against YouTuber Fousey was widely considered by many as a better performance of skill and training out of his prior matches. Given he won the match too also shows the effort put for this one.

* AcceptableTargets:
** Creator/{{KSI}} and the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}}, especially [[WebVideo/{{miniminter}} Simon]], Tobi, or [[WebVideo/{{wroetoshaw}} Harry]], tend to be the butt of many jokes in his videos.
** Racists.
** Deji doesn't like girls who seek attention by saying they are not pretty, believing that they just want people to comment that they are.
** Anyone who gets on his bad side will usually end up being mocked or called out for it. Examples include the aforementioned Sidemen during the feud, Danielle Bregoli, Diamond Gamez (an infamous [=YouTuber=] who was infamous for being a FanHater), the Paul brothers, and such.
** He also hates "sheep", fans (sometimes former) of Deji who belittle his recent content without watching it and simply parrot the opinions of others.
** People who wear sunglasses [[HypocriticalHumor and hats]] indoors.
** School and[=/=]or the educaton system in general.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: His decision to focus more on a broader range of videos (such as him sketches, trying stuff out, challenges, or vlog videos) rather than gaming has caused this among his older fans that still continues to this day. It's not uncommon to see people who request that the "old Deji" comes back and constantly claim that he doesn't game anymore.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUd5yfTwkOM this video]], he sells off a player without even realizing what he's done until less than a second too late.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaImZUM3GAQ this video]] showcasing American candy, he ends up eating a Baby Ruth... without realizing that it has nuts in it.[[note]]He has a nut allergy[[/note]] He at least acknowledges this a few seconds later. Only a few minutes later, he decides to try out a Butterfinger bar, although he never realizes it actually does at all.
** In his diss track against Randolph[[note]]JJ's friend for ages who helped him out during his Fifa career with the music.[[/note]], Deji posts JJ's personal Paypal information just to prove that "JJ paid for Randolph's wedding." JJ was ''pissed'' that Deji just posts whatever private things JJ spent for his friend, just for Deji's diss track.

** Creator/{{KSI}} and the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}}, especially [[WebVideo/{{miniminter}} Simon]], Tobi, or [[WebVideo/{{wroetoshaw}} Harry]], tend to be the butt of many jokes in his videos. Back during the infamous feud in late 2017, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOTBjtud8z8 he released a rap]] mocking all of them but KSI.

* AccidentalInnuendo:
** A lot of stuff Deji does ends up [[DiggingYourselfDeeper digging him deeper]] in the rumor that he's gay. Like, a '''lot''' of stuff.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMcd6JsJOtM I need my daily dose of Deji!]]"
* BrokenBase:
** It's not uncommon to see people who debate if Deji's recent videos are still as fresh as the ones he did when gaming was his prime material, or if they just click-bait nonsense? The amount of people who favour either side has increased, and it looks like the feud has taken no end.
*** Somewhat lightened with the release of "Kung Fu Ninja", where even his older fans have taken quite a liking to it.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-tOikSv1tM this video]], where he dances on the ground in his underwear. While weird openings are common for Deji, this one is so bizarre, words cannot describe it.

** Deji's ex-girlfriend and fellow [=YouTube=]r Marina Joyce is also quite popular.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu_hTq6jMzc If this video is to go by,]] Deji is unsurprisingly very popular in South Korea. It may have been thanks to his Team Korea joke back in his early days.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** In part 2 of his ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' LP, Deji put "Gonna be a long series" in the description. [[OrphanedSeries He then subsequently discontinued the LP.]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEqBHf_A5wg FRIDAY WITH CSG]]" features a line where Deji says you can find him anywhere playing on his [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]]. Four months after the video came out, Sony discontinued production of the [=PSP=] in Europe.

** "[[DidIMentionIAmHeterosexualToday I'M NOT GAY!]]"

** In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_484419037&feature=iv&src_vid=M1PgN_xu578&v=d8tPE8hEj7U Cinnamon Challenge video]], Deji [[spoiler:spitting and coughing all over the place]] is pretty funny, but it gets kind of disquieting when he starts gagging outside and almost vomits.
** Also, in the chili challenge video where he spits onto his plate and damn near vomits again.
** He answers a question of why his palms are white in an unnecessarily nasty way. He says when he wanks, his semen dries onto his hand and it has gradually made his palms paler.

** There was also another video were Deji tried out noodles that were black in colour. Normal, right? They actually contained '''dog sperm''' of all things as one of the ingredients, and cue the vomiting from Deji later on.
* NeverLiveItDown: Many, many, things.
** The joke about Deji being gay, no matter how many times he has to deny it, the joke always pops back up somewhere.
** The infamous hairline haircut Deji had in 2015.

** The thumbnail for his "How To Get Pussy" video shows him wearing [[InTheHood a hood that covers most of his face in darkness]] while staring directly at the viewer. Creepy.
*** It comes up again as an attempted JumpScare [[NightmareRetardant that ultimately doesn't work.]]
** The JumpScare from his "WTF?" video. Admit it, you got scared too. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Unless you were Jide.]]

* ParanoiaFuel: In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwdOSN05yiU 1 million sub]] video, he says that he is always watching all of his subscribers and that he'll be there whenever they call him.

* TearJerker: Deji has a huge hatedom that he's struggling to battle. People relentlessly call him gay and look at him as inferior to his brother. [[TheWoobie Poor guy.]]
** This moment, at the end of "Black Stereotypes".
-->'''Deji''': You know I cried, one comment once!
** In September 2016 Deji got into a horrific car accident with his friend Stephen and said in a video called I Could've Died that he needed nine stitches in his arm as well as having incomprehensible shoulder pain. He stated in a following video called I Escaped Death that this was a near death experience as well saying how his car was almost completely crushed and that him and Stephen were lucky to survive. To make things worse, the viewer hears Deji comforting his mother who is in tears on witnessing the wreck and tearfully begging him to be more careful as well as how she doesn't want to lose him yet. Deji ends the video by stating that you shouldn't take your life for granted and how he upset his parents with the accident.
** A second strike a year after his crash - Someone decided to vandalize Deji's Lamborghini Huracan with white paint, destroying the front of it. Deji was understandably angry at someone deciding to do something as damage a thing he loved. Even though he decided to try strip down the body, Deji has admitted to getting rid of the car as he feels that not only will people vandalize it out of jealously, but because he personally started to see it as a trophy more than a practical car. Although not as sad as the crash, it is still rather tragic, especially since this only causes Deji an expense.
*** Thankfully, though, the person modifying the car removed the wrap, revealing the car was not damaged and has decided to sell it. At least it has not gone to waste.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: His decision to focus more on a broader range of videos (such as him sketches, trying stuff out, challenges, or vlog videos) rather than gaming ([[VideoGame/FifaSoccer particularly the one many people knew him for) has caused this among his older fans that still continues to this day. It's not uncommon to see people who request that the "old Deji" comes back and constantly claim that he doesn't game anymore (despite the fact that he does play games occasionally, with a secondary channel primarily decided to gaming).

* TheWoobie: You'll look at Deji as this once you learn about the hatedom that he's trying to battle. In the videos I Could've Died and I Escaped Death, he tells the story of how he and a friend named Stephen had gotten in a terrible car accident that was nearly fatal for the both of them. While watching the video you hear the guilt in his voice and you fear for his mental health as well while watching both videos. It's also caught up to the point where in May 2017 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIEUGFAxmqQ he made a video about how he could stop making videos because of negative feedback from comments and unsubscribes from many of his past fans]].
