History YMMV / TheDollop

* AcceptableTargets: The Irish. (At least to Dave, who's of Irish descent himself.)

** The [[HornyDevils popobawa]], introduced during the "Ghosts" episode, became a RunningGag on the podcast, mainly because it is [[BlackComedyRape a ghost that anally rapes people and then demands that its victims tell their neighbors about it]]. For some reason, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext it mainly does this around elections]].

** In ''The Piedras Negras Jailbreak'' episode, Gareth remarks about cops failing to record audio on tape. Queue the day after with the official announcement that the live George [=HW=] Bush episode was LostForever due to the venue not recording their presentation and their backup recording failing.

* HilariousInHindsight: The Pinto episode, with the uniqueness of also being simultaneously HarsherInHindsight, becomes funnier or darker, depending on your point of view, regarding the portion about Ford being convinced by penny pinchers that thought it was cheaper to pay settlements than do a recall for an 11 dollar part on every pinto, after the news that Volkswagen recently went through the same thing regarding their diesel cars because they thought a 300 dollar part per car was too expensive and now Volkswagen is looking to lose a whole lot more money than they saved due to fines by several countries, not counting the losses to their stock value.

** "Phineas Gage", "John Wayne Thompson's Armageddon" , "Fedex Flight 705", and "Syphilis in America" also get particularly squicky at times, due largely to the descriptions of the [[BodyHorror horrendous injuries]] involved.

** The Carl Tanzler ep creeped out Gareth and a lot of the fandom.

** In the Ride/ActionPark episode, at one point Gareth exclaims that given the insane atmosphere of the park and the hideously unsafe rides they should have called it "Series/{{Jackass}}: The Park". In 2018. ''Jackass'' alumn Creator/JohnnyKnoxville released ''Action Point'', a comedy set in an Action Park {{Expy}} which Knoxville claims was inspired by a documentary made about Action Park.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Right in the middle of the "John Pemberton's Drug Tonics" episode, Dave and Gareth start to ramble about cows and methane and Hillary's electibility while they wait [[ItMakesSenseInContext for the noise from a leafblower outside to die down.
