* AuthorsSavingThrow: The Peter Molyneux running joke was often [[BrokenBase divisive]], a lot of people stating they're a bit too personal, and others, more mundanely, just thinking the gag is overused. Episodes in 2018 to 2019 have seen the joke used more and more sparingly, and Larry admitted that the joke ran its course in the comments for "4 Games Changed Because Publishers Think Americans are Stupid" (and audibly holds back making a joke about him when he brings up who came up with the idea for Laura Croft's name to be shortened to [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]]).
