** Many Brad and Jake videos, particularly the ''Nothing!'' video, that showcase the two of them at the height of their friendship and simply having fun together, laughing and talking. Knowing [[EtTuBrute their future]] adds no shortage of uncomfortable feelings to these moments of happiness.

** However, when Jake was fired from the site, and a leaked message from Brad exposed what he had done to earn his removal, public opinion quickly turned against him and very few commenters on post-Jake videos hold him in any kind of respect. When it comes to him, Brad's fanbase now holds a fairly uniform opinion of him as "[[FanNickname Scumbag Jake]]".

Stuff like this and Kick The Dog are just things fictional characters are capable of doing, being that they are fictional, they don\'t apply to the actions of real people.

*** Also in the same review, Brad jokes that as bad as the film as, at least Kirk Cameron wasn't in it. Later in the year, he ate his words after having had to see ''Saving Christmas'', which turned out to be even WORSE than ''God's Not Dead''.

** In the review of ''God's Not Dead'', Brad jokes that the actor who didn't stand up during the climactic scene must have gotten stuck in his seat. According to IMDB, ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2528814/goofs that's exactly what happened]]''.

** Lettie is this InUniverse. Even the other members of Team Snob feel awful about her going to so many terrible movies, and more than once wonder why she lets Brian get away with it.

** Much like with WebVideo/JesuOtaku and Creator/DougWalker, the group's negative reaction to ''Film/ManOfSteel'' hasn't gone so well either. Saying that he got more enjoyment out of ''Superman III'' '''and''' ''Superman IV: The Quest For Peace'' certainly didn't help their case, and going back for round 2? Well, let's just say not everyone was happy.
