History YMMV / HATFilms

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: While the trio are very professional in their editing and work ethic, some of their videos take extremely weird turns and the Sirs are all {{Cloud Cuckoolander}}s to varying degrees, leading to fan suspicion of drugs and an InUniverse gag that they're on "Crazy Pills". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipV4tT4B-A4&ab_channel=HatFilms This video, entitled "Walrus Appeal"]], actually ''was'' made on a lot of caffeine and at 3 in the morning, hence the bizarre noises and constant {{Corpsing}} (which they had to seriously edit down).

* AcceptableTargets:
** None of the trio are terribly fond of Katie Hopkins, [[https://youtu.be/49HhPypDXaI?t=1265 spending a good chunk of]] ''[[https://youtu.be/49HhPypDXaI?t=1265 Cornerstone]]'' ripping her to pieces verbally. Unfortunately, this only caused the subreddit to be flooded with posts about her.
** Trott's nerd voice seems to target StopHavingFunGuys that cannot tolerate jokes about their favourite franchises and feel the need to boringly correct others.
** People that dislike change in the form of other Yogscast members taking part are frequently mocked.
** The tabloid press are routinely made fun of in ''Hat Chat'', and Colin the journalist is a StrawmanPolitical in ''Hat Pack 2015'' that clearly represents their pet peeves.

* PetPeeveTrope: The trio hate custom tracks in ''VideoGame/{{Trials}} Evolution'' that abuse CheckpointStarvation. The group gives tracks that have lack of checkpoints the "Fuck You Buddy Award".

** The ''Machinima/YogscastMinecraftSeries'' miniseries ''Trials of Derpulies'' has an ''incredibly'' divisive reaction amongst Hatters due to the extremely limited screentime of the trio, despite them having committed two days worth of time into the project (which many Hatters are now arguing should have been spent on other projects like ''Stunt Lads'' or ''VideoGame/RocketLeague'' instead). While some are willing to hang around for their limited screentime and will concede that there are many funny moments involving other members such as Sips, an overwhelming number of Hatters have been quick to post about their dislike of the series, accusing the editors of being overwhelmingly biased in favour of Team Sjipos (Lewis, Sips and LetsPlay/{{Sjin}}) based on that team's absurdly high screen time. It's gotten to the point that [[http://i.imgur.com/NQSYErt.png even Smith and Ross have tweeted their disapproval]], although it's unclear whether they're joking. The sequel series, ''Trials of Skobbels'', notably went out of its way to feature their team and Hannah/Kim/Duncan/Simon more.

%%* ChaoticGood: Smith's ultimate goal appears to be to get a laugh out of the other two any given episode, which is good; but he's willing to try just about ANY kind of joke to get it, no matter how filthy or mean spirited.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Possibly HilariousInHindsight in a BlackComedy way as well. Episode #32 of Hat Chat, entitled Gecko Sporgy, was named after (and had a long segment related to) a Russian space experiment on the impact of zero-gravity on geckos having sex. During the segment, they joked the geckos would probably all die horribly. The satellite eventually returned with all occupants having frozen to death.
