History YMMV / PlanetDolan

** [[spoiler: Shima Prime.]] Dolan and the crew debated back and forth on [[spoiler: bringing Shima's character back]] and ultimately decided that it was safe to do so, as the original VA ([[spoiler: whose continued silence was taken as approval]]) loved the character and the show, knew how beloved the character was to the fans and likely would have understood. The crew found a convincing (though not perfect) sound-alike, altered the character's appearance somewhat such as changing the eye color and made it absolutely clear that this is not truly [[spoiler: Shima]], but rather a copy with all her memories and tendencies. The two-part return skit raises more questions than it answers and there is still no guarantee that [[spoiler: Shima Prime]] will become a regular.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: [=PipeAttack=]. He guest starred as a host prior to the rebranding into Planet Dolan, and he was a rather beloved figure in the fandom, only to [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome disappear from YouTube without a trace]]. Despite this, he was still beloved in the Planet Dolan community, so much so that somebody wrote a shipping fanfic of [=PipeAttack=] with fellow missing commentator Shima, which the Planet Dolan crew [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V50XA65pkYs actually read out]].

** Hellbent. For some, he's either the funniest member of the team due to his massive amounts of snark, or he's the most obnoxious for similar reasons. It doesn't help that he's often accused of being a "strawman" due to his constant shove-ins of his opinions.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Two of them.
** On the SUPER PLANET DOLAN channel, Dolan acknowledged fans's concerns in regards to Shima, and while he has given the same response (they don't know what happened to her but know from the last talk they had with her, she's fine) and it seemed that after this video, the channels stopped using Shima's character as a way to not get fans's hopes up that she was back.
** The other saving throw is Nixxom dropping the dark and gravely voice when he does countdowns and going for a more normal and calm voice.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** It happens from time to time; it's just an occupational hazard of running a trivia channel. However, butchering pronunciations (despite otherwise using the words correctly) is a somewhat common problem, and Dolan and Pringle are the most frequent offenders.
** Fandom related: Tolop mentioned in the "Golf With Friends" video on the gaming channel that some fans still ask "when is Dolan gonna do a face reveal?" despite the fact Dolan has shown his face as far back as 2014, and there have been many videos throughout 2015 and 2016 where Dolan's appeared on camera, either by himself or with friends.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: In the otherwise [[NightmareFuel/PlanetDolan scary]] SCARY EXPERIENCES WHILE HOME ALONE, we get two consecutive examples from the redditors. First, Emojie's story has Brave live up [[MeaningfulName to his name]] by attacking her brother's FalseFriend. In the next one, Honeybits decides to [[TookALevelInBadass Take a Level in Badass]] by retalliating against her [[EvilUncle Evil Ex-Uncle]], firing a gun at him the moment he breaks into her parents' room. He survives, but is seriously injured and taken to jail in an ambulance.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: In one of the Dolan Life Mysteries episode, Melissa gets fed up with Hellbent's constant {{Jerkass}} behaviour, so she punches the everliving shit out of him at the end.

* EpilepticTrees: Shima's absence has garnered immense debate over what happened to her: Some believe she quietly went into hiding due to stalking and harassment while others believe that Dolan and Co. ended up firing her and a slew of NDA was placed on her to not talk. A much more mocked theory is that she was "murdered by Dolan and Co", to the point of MemeticMutation. This however was {{Jossed}} by Dolan during a video update on Super Planet Dolan's status and stated that the channel knows fans are worried about Shima, as well as acknowledging the concerns people have with her status.

** Arguably made worse when it was found out that she wasn't missing (the crew has confirmed her safety), she's ''gone into hiding'', apparently due to how [[StalkerWithACrush obsessive]] [[StalkerWithoutACrush certain]] fans were getting about Shima.

* HarsherInHindsight: After weeks and weeks of viewers asking why Shima wasn't in the videos any more, some with [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks more hostility than others]], she finally returned for one episode, for which her dialogue was recorded months prior and ended with an explanation: [[spoiler: her actress went missing]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice: While cancer jokes are usually [[DudeNotFunny far from funny]], this one somehow becomes too silly to be offensive: the question in the Super Planet Dolan video "What Do You Call a Male Ladybug?" is "What causes cancer?". Dolan says that a cancer is actually just a dancer who can do the can-can and begins doing the can-can while singing to the tune of the can-can song, "I can, I can do the can-can, you can do the can-can, everyone can do the can-can, can-can, can-can, so, yes I am a cancer, you can be a cancer, everyone can be a cancer..." then his singing degenerates into speaking and ends with him calling himself "The Cancer of Can-Can". Shima has an unamused expression.
