History YMMV / VideoGameHighSchool

%%* TrueArtIsAngsty: Season 3 to some extent.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: School dedicated to teaching video games seems fictional, but [[http://www.koreainformationsociety.com/2008/02/korea-game-science-high-school.html?m=1 it is real in South Korea.]]* AngstWhatAngst: Ted doesn't find the news of [[spoiler:his dad's death]] to be alarming at first, deciding to carry on his life as if nothing happened. In spite of that, he proceeds to avert this trope as he gradually spends the rest of the episode going through the five stages of grief.

* BizarroEpisode: Episode 8 of Season 1. A common complaint is the way-too-fast-pacing. None of this is helped by the fact that the episode doesn't transition smoothly (How does Brian [[spoiler: get expelled and suddenly own someone else's arcade in one day?]]) and as a result, some viewers may try to spend the entire episode trying to figure out if it was a {{Dream Sequence}}. To be fair, the extreme abruptness of that episode is very much PlayedForLaughs.

** Thing do not go very well for the Law after his defeat at the hands of Brian, as well as [[spoiler:being convicted of using an aimbot]]. He basically goes from the most famous gamer in the world to a unmotivated loser.

* AngstWhatAngst: Ted doesn't find the news of [[spoiler:his dad's death]] to be alarming at first, deciding to carry on his life as if nothing happened. He spends the rest of the episode going through the five stages of grief as reality hits him like a brick wall.

* RealLifeRelative: Real life brothers Freddie and Jimmy play a hilarious father-son dynamic.

* ClicheStorm: It's the standard high school drama as it's existed since the eighties... ''[[RecycledInSpace but with games]]''! However, since it's a parody and an over-the-top WorldOfHam, the clichés are also a crucial mechanism of the show's humor. {{Lampshade}}d in Season 2 Episode 2, where there is a segment where several characters dress in stereotypical '80s fashion.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Freddie bequeathing all of his most valuable belongings to someone he hasn't even met while giving Ted a small, crappy gift in his last will video.]]
