History YMMV / TheStupendium

** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zshYe6Agzk The House Always Wins]]": [[Characters/FalloutNewVegasRobertEdwinHouse Robert House]] is as brilliant as ever. A survivor from the first Nuclear War, he made a civilization from a casino called The Strip from scratch, enabling refugees to happily live in paradise, if they're willing to pay some fees. House openly admits that he funds the place using the money of broke gamblers, using it to invest in security robots that ruthlessly kill anyone who challenges his authority. Despite this, he [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely believes The Strip is humanity's best shot at utopia]], pointing out how the other settlements aren't exactly trustworthy either, as well as criticizing the political nature of the pre-wasteland world.

** The bridge of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dm5trEo9ow Adequate Wordsmith]] really makes you feel bad for Stupes, even though they decide all the pain they extol on was worth it.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** As beautifully sung and written as "The West Was One" was, Stupendium's Arthur Morgan is a brutal outlaw who abused the freedom the era gave him to rob and murder innocent people. His lyrics were more in line to gang leader Dutch Van der Linde's preachings and [[spoiler:Dutch becomes an abusive, self-righteous traitor who abandoned Arthur and John to die]]. Considering that most of canon Arthur's whinging about civilisation was in the early chapters, it is possible Stupendium played an early incarnation of Arthur, or a Low Honor incarnation. During a conversation where Arthur brings up encroaching civilisation to justify his more horrid acts, he is cut off as his conversational partner tells him [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse he could still have]] done (and still could do) good.

** While J. Jonah Jameson does make a more than a few valid points regarding Spider-Man's failures in "Pictures of Spider-Man", such as causing criminal and collateral casualties and failing to prevent criminals from expanding and adapting, he comes off as overly eager to slander him and portrays Spider-Man as malicious rather than incompetent. When one caller describes Spider-Man saving her from a group of thugs, Jameson ludicrously suggests that Spider-Man was colluding with the thugs. Additionally, despite Jameson defending his own mistakes and behaviour as "all in good intention" and "out of love", he has NoSympathy with Spider-Man [[{{Hypocrite}} despite]] benevolent intentions.

* HilariousInHindsight: Their "Back Together" song had a brief bit with Mr. Hippo worrying he would undergo ChuckCunninghamSyndrome in the FNAF Franchise. Then ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' came out and showed he still had a presence, [[BrickJoke whether the other characters liked it]] [[TheFriendNobodyLikes or not.]]

** ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf6SK2grByI An Impostor Calls]] (Includes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpbTj60kTgI&t=0s Dan Bull's Version]]): The Stupendium themselves plays The Impostor, once again seeking to eliminate the Skeld crew. Disguising as one of the crewmates, they and a second Impostor pick off the crew one by one, with Stupendium managing to remain undetected while hiding the existence of their partner, countering the points of Dan Bull when accused. [[MultipleEndings Depending on the ending]], The Stupendium either [[TheBadGuyWins ejects Dan Bull and wins the game]], or get outed and [[FaceDeathWithDignity remain gleeful during their ejection]], confident that their partner will get them with the remaining crew none the wiser.

*** The whole.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: One of the lines in "[=OnlyCans=]" is "If you're ace, demi, pan, flexible/End of the day we are all can-sexual!". Later that year, the Stupendium came out as [[https://twitter.com/TheStupendium/status/1396824742007611392 pansexual and non-binary]], and even [[https://twitter.com/TheStupendium/status/1402326082595008513 sold custom Pride merch for the Trevor Project]].

** Among [[VideoGame/{{Deltarune}} Spamton's]] nonsensical WordSaladLyrics in "Ad Infinitum" is "milk the humans of their kindness" -- a reference to a line from ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''.[[note]]Although this could also be a reference ''to'' a reference of that line in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', and it's not possible to tell.[[/note]]
