History YMMV / PositivelyDreadful

* CriticalResearchFailure: Sideburns makes several egregious mistakes during VideoGame/WarOfTheMonsters and VideoGame/TwistedMetal. In the former, he is unaware of several basic mechanics, including the ''lock on feature,'' and in the latter he gets stuck on the final boss because he didn't notice a button prompt telling him how to beat it. Even worse, both examples lead into rants blaming the games.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The title-cards by both WebVideo/DrCrafty and later Rinlockhart are very appealing and help set the tone for each episode.

* MemeticBadass: Sideburns believes that Brodski from ''Film/JasonX'' ascended to godhood in death.
** He also thinks highly of Graeme, an ambitious contestant from ''Trapped!''

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Felt that Vernon Fenwick was made into a likeable character in 2014 ''[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie.

* StylisticSuck: Sideburns dons a ''terrible'' [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] costume, in reference to the villain's very cheap looking costume in ''Film/SpyKids4''.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Parodied. Apparently Thor not wearing his helmet is worth committing suicide over.

** This is also his main issue with the ''Triple Helix'' comic books, which have plenty of great ideas, but triy to do them all at once.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Evil Sideburns breathing fire after calling himself the Devil.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: His main issue with the ''Triple Helix'' comic books.

** Berghani's (admittedly creepy) drawing of himself and Sideburns, marked ''friends.'' Sideburns even puts it on his fridge. [[Note]]With a note marked 'how not to draw.'[[/note]]

* StylisticSuck: Sideburns dons a ''terrible'' [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] costume, in reference to the villain's very cheap looking costume in ''Film/SpyKids 4''.

* HeartwarmingMoments: As of this writing, the Good half of the ''VideoGame/InFamous2'' video has more views than he Evil half.

* MostWonderfulSound: Jason Voorhees’ friendly and calming voice, as supplied by Karpinarmic.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Believes Weird Al (as depicted on The Weird Al Show) is a supervillain, and side character Val is his evil henchman.
** Also seems to think Al is struggling between his ChaoticEvil instincts, and trying to be a decent person.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: After several unfair rants borne of his own mistakes during game reviews, the issue is brought up in the Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen when he, playing the scene as a game, misses a literal I Win Button.

* GrowingTheBeard: While still a bit rough in many ways, VideoGame/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasOogiesRevenge is a lot quicker and snappier with its jokes, and emphasizes comedy more than being informative, which most future videos have tried to follow on with.

Even worse, both examples lead into rants.

* CriticalResearchFailure: A common complaint regarding VideoGame/WarOfTheMonsters, where Sideburns is clearly unaware of several basic mechanics, such as ''locking on.'' Made worse because it actually sends him into a rant at the game's frustrating controls.

* NeedsMoreLove: Does not have a very impressive viewership, despite some initial success.

* EvenBetterSequel: The reason he reviewed ''VideoGame/InFamous2'' and not the first game.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: His main issue with the ''Triple Helix'' comic books.

* EvenBetterSequel: The reason he reviewed ‘’inFamous 2’’ and not the first game.

* HeartwarmingMoments: As of this writing, the Good half of the inFamous 2 video has more views than he Evil half.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Felt that Vernon Fenwick was made into a likable character in 2014 TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles movie.

** Vomiting up blood after getting a little too frustrated with VideoGame/WarOfTheMonsters. And if not that, the noise he makes while doing it.

* {{Squick}}: [[ComicBooks/Deadpool Deadpool: Bi-Annual]] ends with the promise that Sideburns will eat his own beard. The next video, ‘’Convergence Tie-Ins’’ opens with him beardless, sputtering, and putting away a bottle of hot sauce.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: His main issue with the ‘‘Triple Helix’’ comic books.

* GrowingTheBeard: While still a bit rough in many ways, ‘’The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie’s Revenge’’ is a lot quicker and snappier with its jokes, and emphasizes comedy more than being informative, which most future videos have tried to follow on with.
