History YMMV / Starbomb

* BrokenBase: Should ''Toad Joins the Band'' and ''Atari Mystery Hour'' been removed from ''Player Select''? Ask this question with caution.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Many, but special mention to ''Sonic's Best Pal'' and ''The Book Of Nook''.

--->Florio003: At [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keAE9GXYB0w&t=68s 1:08]] the King of Red Lions says "you've got 87 slots". If you actually count all the items in the video, the last piece of string is the 88th and breaks Link. That's so awesome.

* {{TearJerker}}: In ''Filling in the Name Of'', for those out there with depression, the realistic depiction of Long Pieces’ struggle with his insecurities can seem all too familiar.

* UnexpectedCharacter: In most Mario Party games, the announcer slot is taken by Toad. ''Welcome to the Mario Party'' features a few shots of Tumble, only held this role in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Advance and hasn't appeared otherwise.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: *This Song Sucks* is about how Arin and Danny go through rejected song ideas to make the last song of the album. Danny confirmed on WebVideo/GameGrumps that this is exactly how they created that song.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

** Poor, poor [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ken]].

* EnsembleDarkHorse: LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}'s cameo in ''Smash!'' caused the song to be number one song off of ''Player Select'' on many people's list.

* TheWoobie: Poor, poor [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ken]]
** Long Pieces’ struggle with {{UsefulNotes/Depression}} certainly draws sympathy. Crosses over into {{TearJerker}} when [[spoiler: he commits suicide.]]

* UnexpectedCharacter: In most Mario Party games, the announcer slot is taken by Toad. ''Welcome to the Mario Party'' features a few shots of Tumble, who only appears as the announcer for Mario Party Advanced and hasn't appeared otherwise.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** ''The Book of Nook'' refers to Timmy and Tommy as Tom Nook's sons, when they have been confirmed to be his ''nephews''. Possibly justified, [[RuleOfFunny as this may have been for the rhyme.]]
** Another one in ''Mega Marital Problems'' Megaman Defeats Iceman with Fire when in the games his main weakness is Elecman's weapon...[[RuleOfFunny Again, it may be just for the rhyme.]]
** Creepers die after blowing up, yet in ''Minecraft Is For Everyone'', the Creeper blows up multiple times and is just fine. Once again, this was likely done [[RuleOfFunny for a reason]].
** ''Robots in Need of Disguise'' states that some of the autobots transform into "fucking construction trucks" but this is actually the defining gimmick of the [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Constructicon_(G1) Constructicons]]. RuleOfFunny once again applies here.
** ''Blowing the Payload'' seem to imply every playable character is an Overwatch agent somehow, including the Talon agents, who are ''definitely not'' part of Overwatch. [[RuleOfFunny You know the drill by now.]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Mario just a sex-pest who only rescues Peach so he can [[EntitledtoHaveYou get some nookie]], or did he start out as a genuinely noble hero who has well and truly had it with Peach's indecisiveness?

* NightmareFuel: The psychotic look on Jigglypuff's face after surviving all the carnage in ''SMASH!''

** ''Sonic's Best Pal''. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Full. Fucking. STOP.]]

* MemeticMutation: The "Press A to Grab Destiny" prompt from the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m9QUoW5KnY "It's Dangerous to Go Alone" video]][[note]]NSFW[[/note]] became inordinately popular after the release of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'', usually in reference to [[HartmanHips Zelda's ass.]]

** Just like ''Player Select'', ''Triforce'' has a mixed reception because of the sequel songs, with some loving it and other preferring more original songs. The filler on the album didn't help fan response either.
* CriticalResearchFailure: ''The Book of Nook'' refers to Timmy and Tommy as Tom Nook's sons, when they have been confirmed to be his ''nephews''. Possibly justified [[RuleOfFunny as this may have been for the rhyme.]]
** Another one in ''Mega Marital Problems'' Megaman Defeats Iceman with Fire when in the games his momweakness is Elecman's weapon...[[RuleOfFunny Again it may be just for the rhyme.]]

* DesignatedLoveInterest: Parodied in regards to Mario and Peach in ''Luigi's Ballad''. Despite having over 20 years of in-game ShipTeasing, Mario is portrayed as possibly ''the worst'' choice for a boyfriend, objectifying Peach, exposing himself to her and attacking the other characters just to show how macho he is. For some reason Peach isn't bothered by this. [[spoiler: Ultimately averted, as she gets with Toad in the end.]]

* HoYay: Dracula mentions a "queen sized bed" and "two-man Twister".

** Mario's behaviour in ''Luigi's Ballad'' goes too far in some scenes e.g. he pins Peach to the ground at one point. There's also that hungry look he gets in his eyes.

** After a short {{HopeSpot}}, The therapist asks Long Piece to fill in a tetris. [[spoiler: [[Main/DrivenToSuicide Cue Long Piece commiting suicide.]]]]
* WhatdoYouMeanItsNotForKids: They do songs about kids' favorite video games, from Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda to Sonic the Hedgehog and Minecraft. However, explicit labels are put on them, as they have frequent profanity and subvert the innocence of your favorite video game characters. One example would be "Sonic Best Pal", which features Tails taking drugs as a result of being in Sonic's shadow and then going on a shooting spree.

* {{Narm}}: Even though he’s meant to come across as a total badass throughout his rap, the sheer number of times that Ryu boasts about his dick makes it look like he’s really CompensatingForSomething.
* HypeBacklash: The TryForce, Starbomb's third and final album, was instantly hit with this on release. Hyped up as their biggest album and grand finale, it caused it to be less well received compared to the first two albums. Alongside the sequel songs and filler (which were already things fans weren't too big on in the first place), the album had a lot more input writing wise from Arin (who has a spotty record when it comes to songwriting as-is), and the group admitted they only spent a day on each song writing and recording (it was a self-imposed challenge they put on themselves). The result was an album with a less than stellar reception, considered forgettable to the point where there's actually many fans who don't even know there was a third album.
