History YMMV / Jocat

* The ''Fighter'' episode has "Fighter-Man", sung to the theme of the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' series that starts and finishes the episode.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: A few of the players in "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master" were actively metagaming or otherwise behaving in ways that the DM is right to call them out on. Several players were making rolls without being asked to, progressing the story without the DM's approval, criticizing the plot, trying to make things go OffTheRails, and reading from the Adventure guidebook (basically spoiling the game for themselves). One player even gave themselves a gun. While [=JoCrap=] overreacted by shooting down ''everything'' and invoking RocksFallEveryoneDies on the whole table (even if they were behaving), it's easy to see why [=JoCrap=] snapped when so many of his players were behaving like jerks.

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: A couple in the ''Dungeon Master'' episode of ''A Crap Guide to D&D''
** The intended lesson is that players are as important to D&D as the dungeon masters and shouldn't be {{Railroaded}} at the expense of the player's fun, but the fact that [=JoCrap=] was clearly overwhelmed by trying to run D&D with around twenty players at once, one could also see the lesson being that one should limit the number of players in one game down to a manageable level for the DM. Considering the number of players is ''over two dozen at least'', it's the sort of thing that likely would require ''multiple'' [=DMs=] to manage, never mind so the session doesn't slow to a crawl.
** Some of the requests were just absurd, like one player asking to play a Terrasque and another exploiting his multiclassing to do close to a dozen actions in one round, not to mention metagaming galore and players rolling out of turn. A middle ground to temper such issues could be "Give a reason for why you don't want a player to do something instead of just giving them a flat no and relying on them listening [[BecauseISaidSo because you're the DM]]; the latter will make you seem tyrannical, but the former will make it more clear that you're doing this out of care for the gameplay."

** The ''entirety'' of the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBoqrSn1GR8 Races]]'' episode, performed entirely in rap. It may be for a silly gag series, but some of the flow on certain lines and verses are legitmately fire.

** The song going through the different Wizard schools, set to [[Music/TheCanCanSong the Can Can]] song. It sees quite a bit of use on [=TikTok=] and other ''D&D'' fan videos.
* {{Tearjerker}}: [=JoCrap=]'s meltdown at the players causes them to [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere leave the game]]. While he takes a moment to stew over this, [=JoCat=] appears behind him and calmly talks with him on how to be a better Dungeon Master, making this moment a ''sad'' tearjerker and a ''[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments happy]]'' one.

* {{Adorkable}}: Jo certainly fits this category. A freckled and bespeckled nerd who just happens to be the most precious geek on the internet, considering his genuine and wholesome personality (unless, of course, he's playing Jocrap).
