* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Former WebVideo/TheCompletionist co-star Greg is said to have gone missing in The NEW Completionist: ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar''. With Greg having a falling out with Jirard and subsequently leaving the show, this gag comes off as rather awkward now.
** From the same video, Creator/{{Yungtown}} tells Chris that Jirard has been killed and Chris assumes a bear is what killed him. Years later, Greg (who was famous for the ''BEARS!'' RunningGag on the show) forced Jirard to remove all videos that had Greg in them, threatening legal action if he didn't comply.



** Any references to professional ''Smash Bros.'' community in his videos are a lot harder to take in after the mass reveals of sexual misconduct in said community in July of 2020.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the "''Frozen'' confirmed for ''Kingdom Hearts 3''" April Fools video, Chris makes a joke about both ''Kingdom Hearts III:'' ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes Ground Zeroes]]'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III-2'' clearly mocking ''Kingdom Hearts''' release timeline. However, both of these ended up becoming actual products years later in the forms of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind''.



* HilariousInHindsight: In his ''Smash Ultimate'' Joker DLC review, he made a joke about VideoGame/BanjoKazooie being revealed as the next DLC characters ''one day'' before the duo was officially revealed for the game at Nintendo's E3 conference.
** In the same video he made a similar joke regarding Sans from {{VideoGame/Undertale}}. 3 months later Sans was confirmed to be coming to the game!...as a Mii costume.

* BizarroEpisode:
** The [[MissingEpisode now deleted]] Top 10N ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' Music video was presented almost entirely through text boxes. This ended being the main reason it was deleted.
** Why ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'' is BETTER than ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Thousand Year Door]]'' and REAL ''Smash Ultimate'' DLC LEAK! are so far his only April Fools videos that aren't presented as fake trailers, with the former being a fake outrage video and the latter being a total recreation of another content creator's style.[[note]]Said content creator being [=LaxChris=] who is infamous online for churning out videos on fake leaks[[/note]]
** JACK FROST SAVES THE KIDS is the only video he has done that is an unscripted review.
** The NEW Completionist: ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' is an AffectionateParody of WebVideo/TheCompletionist, and the only video he's done that is a complete, non-sarcastic recreation of another creator's style.[[note]]REAL ''Smash Ultimate'' DLC LEAK! was also a recreation of another creator's style (that being infamous [=YouTuber=] [=LaxChris=]), except that it was done specifically done as a sarcastic deconstruction towards him whereas The NEW Completionist is PlayedStraight and not intended as a TakeThat against the original creator[[/note]]
** While Joker: One Month Later is a pretty standard fair for one of Chris' reviews, the presentation is what makes it this as throughout the entire video he is on a green-screen which leads to more background and camera gags than usual.


* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** Chris threatened that if the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' music that made it into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' was purely instrumental, he would [[spoiler: ''[[WouldHurtAChild run over orphans]]''.]]
** During a ([[MissingEpisode now deleted]]) stream on ''Kingdom Hearts III'', right as the music drop in the game's intro theme was about to happen, he muted the in-game music...and replaced it with [[spoiler: the intro music of ProJared.]] It can be seen [[https://www.twitch.tv/smashmastershow/clip/ThoughtfulTrappedMallardSaltBae here]].

* GrowingTheBeard: Chris' videos had a noticable jump in quality starting around Late 2014/Early 2015.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Former WebVideo/TheCompletionist co-star Greg is said to have gone missing in The NEW Completionist: ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar''. With Greg having a falling out with Jirard and subsequently leaving the show, this gag comes off as rather awkward now.
** From the same video, {{WebVideo/Yungtown}} tells Chris that Jirard has been killed and Chris assumes a bear is what killed him. Years later, Greg (who was famous for the ''BEARS!'' RunningGag on the show) forced Jirard to remove all videos that had Greg in them, threatening legal action if he didn't comply.

* HarsherInHindsight:
** Chris using a Louis C.K. clip in Top 10 Worst Fighting Games can come off as much more awkward nowadays following Louis admitting to sexually harassing women, especially since the clip he used was of Louis pretending to masturbate while talking about women...
** Top 10 WebVideo/JonTron Videos can be considered this after Jon's controversy regarding some of his political statements, [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment and that's all that will be said about that.]]
** The NEW Completionist: ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' video is obviously meant to be an AffectionateParody of WebVideo/TheCompletionist, however a lot of jokes are harder to enjoy after the falling out between Jirard and Greg and the latter's subsequent actions.
* Any references to professional ''Smash Bros.'' community in his videos are a lot harder to take in after the mass reveals of sexual misconduct in said community in July of 2020.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the "''Frozen'' confirmed for ''Kingdom Hearts 3''" April Fools video, Chris makes a joke about both ''Kingdom Hearts III:'' ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes Ground Zeroes]]'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III-2'' clearly mocking ''Kingdom Hearts''' release timeline. However, both of these ended up becoming actual products years later in the forms of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind''.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** As revealed in Top 10 Blind Game Purchases, Chris bough the game ''{{VideoGame/Bully}}'' under the assumption that it allowed you to bully other kids which he felt would help him cope with the bullying he himself was receiving at the time. However, he quickly learned that the game was actually about trying to stop bullying, and he notes at the end of the segment that he was very glad he played it at that point in time implying it helped him cope but in a healthier way than he thought it would.
** Chris held a ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'' livestream on March 31st, 2020. It was a typical stream with a drinking game thrown in up until the 4 hour mark, where Chris after getting drunk on vodka began to cry and talk about several insecurities he had to his viewers. While the things discussed easily fall under TearJerker territory, the heartwarming part comes in when Chris began to use the opportunity to try and speak positively not just about himself but about the world as a whole. He thanked his viewers for supporting him, thanked his friends for sticking with him and wishing he could see them more, and even gave himself a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech saying that while he may not have a huge fanbase the fans he does have genuninely enjoy his content and support what he does no matter what. The whole time he also begged his sober self to not delete the stream saying people needed to hear this (and as of this writing the stream is still up!) and he received many uplifting and supportive messages from his chat.

* HilariousInHindsight: In his ''Smash Ultimate'' Joker DLC review, he made a joke about VideoGame/BanjoKazooie being revealed as the next DLC characters ''one day'' before the duo was officially revealed for the game at Nintendo's E3 conference.
** In the same video he made a similar joke regarding Sans from {{VideoGame/Undertale}}. 3 months later Sans was confirmed to be coming to the game!...as a Mii costume.

* NeverLiveItDown: Chris states in Top 10N Game Overs that his viewers will never let him forget that he [[spoiler:used a jumpscare]] in his ''Cyber Chase'' review.

* NightmareFuel:
** [[spoiler:The jumpscare]] at the end of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheCyberChase''.
** The bizarre, possibly-spam bot channel shown at the end of Smash Masters of Website/YouTube. Even Chris is disturbed by it, specifically when discussing the video it has posted on ''police brutality''.
** Chris discussing how he may be leading the viewer into a false sense of security in Top 10N Game Overs.
** The deep-fried, [[VoiceOfTheLegion deep-voice]] gag he pulls when particularly agitated.
** Chris sticking a pair of scissors under his eye, seen below under Squick.
** Just how many people [[spoiler:did Chris kill]] after [[spoiler:modding ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'' music into ''Super Smash Bros. 4'']]?

* {{Squick}}:
** [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401909398584295425/564262472568143882/image0.png This frame from McDonalds Games.]]
** I'm sure an explanation on why Chris stating that he is going to garggle bleach jizz[[note]][[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin jizz that's been bleached]][[/note]] from The Wonderful World of ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash Bros]]'' [[GameMod Mods]] is gross is unneeded.

* TearJerker: As he stated in his Top 5 Blind Game Purchases video, [[spoiler:Chris was bullied in middle school and had bought the game ''{{VideoGame/Bully}}'' under the assumption that is was about bullying kids in an attempt to cope with the bullying he had experienced. Doubles as [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] as playing the game helped him deal with the experience in a healthy manner.]]
** His explanation of how [[spoiler:Suguru Kamoshida]] from ''VideoGame/Persona5'' made him feel in Top 10 ''Persona'' Bosses certainly counts as well.
