1For Spoony's WebVideo/CounterMonkey series, go [[Awesome/CounterMonkey here.]]
2
3----
4* The trailer for his LetsPlay of ''Terror TRAX: Track of the Vampire''. "Van Helsing. Buffy. Anita Blake. They're all his bitches."
5* The final video of Spoony's ''VideoGame/{{SWAT 4}}'' playthrough. Not only does he finish the hardest level in the game in his first playthrough , but his AI subordinates actually show some competence for once: one even manages a headshot with a shotgun at long range. Hell, it's more a crowning moment of awesome for the AI companions than him.
6** The synchronized kills as his two AI companions drop two terrorists the second they point their gun at him was a particular highlight.
7* Not a crowning moment for himself, but for Squall at the end of his ''Final Fantasy VIII'' review. After talking endlessly on how ridiculous the Gunblade's design is, after Squall impales him he asks him to at least tell him what the "gun" part of the Gunblade does. Squall answers by pulling the trigger, firing Spoony off the length of the blade and into a wall.
8** Even better: After witnessing a gunblade's power firsthand, he begins using one himself against foes like Tidus, The Guardian, and even the ''Highlander: Last of the [=MacLeods=]''!
9** Alas, it's been broken at the end of his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' review. Although it remains to be seen if it will be repaired or not, as it has become somewhat of his signature weapon by now, like Linkara's Magic Gun, the Nostalgia Critic's pistol, or The Angry Video Game Nerd's NES Blaster Bazooka.
10* Winning the Mashable Open Web Award for funniest person to follow, cause that's pretty badass for a guy who receives his entire budget from some ads and mostly donations, and has no hype machine beyond his fanbase backing him. Maybe this is a joint [=CMoA=], for both his fans and for him.
11** Similarly, he was once stated by [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] to be [[http://www.gamespot.com/news/6235040.html a personal favorite]] internet reviewer of his.
12* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HtARP5AGNg Editing himself]] into ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'' as Gandalf and taking down the Balrog with an AK-47, a [[Franchise/StarTrek phaser]], and a grenade launcher. "All right, time to bust out the Flame of Anor. [[PreMortemOneLiner Enjoy the fireworks!"]]
13* The ending of Part 3 of the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review. Those are damn near cinematic production values there.
14** Could've had something to do with 'Constantine' playing in the background, still awesome though.
15* Calling out Spike Games after they dismissed his review of the ''Series/DeadliestWarrior'' game as deluded, and argued the game would have been better if they had a bigger budget. Spoony rubbished their claims about the budget by pointing out that Spike Games is a subsidiary of Spike TV, so it was hardly like they were a no-budget indie studio, and that if you get a small budget ''then the smart thing is to make the most of it rather make a cheap cash-in, so that you would receive a larger budget for your next title''.
16* Doing the ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' poster poses next to a Delorean at PAX Prime.
17** Especially since he took the time to pop into a convenience store and buy a cheap wristwatch before he posed for the photos. While many people at PAX used the car for a photo op, he was (according to the car's owners) the only one to actually bother with '''props'''.
18* Nick's animated intro seen in the Wendy's training video riff, stuffed to the brim with callbacks to various projects and clearly a huge labor of love.
19* The rampage at the end of Strike Commando is really awesome feeling like a Narmtacular 80's B Movie rampage complete with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic and Reb's signature scream dubbed ''BY A FREAKING T-REX!''
20* Kicking [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]]'s ass ''through the camera'' because he was reviewing ''Film/HudsonHawk'', when Spoony had previously said he was going to review the film and game ''[[ScheduleSlip nine months earlier]]'', culminating in Spoony [[WrestlerInAllOfUs smashing a chair]] [[ActorAllusion into the camera[=/=]Buck's face]].
21* Accomplishing what neither WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd nor his tech-support pal could--managing to get a Jaguar CD to work for his review of ''Highlander: Last Of The [=MacLeods=]'', and actually being able to finish the game and obtain all the footage he needed ''right before the system permanently broke down''. The Gods Of Reviewing were certainly smiling down upon him that day.
22** Best of all, how he did he get it working? He had Dr. Insano fix it, at which point [[EvenEvilHasStandards Insano rants about how poorly made the Jaguar CD was]].
23* With his vlog "Health Update" he gets quite a few retroactive ones. All that wearing heavy costumes under hot lights, dragging around his filming equipment and trying to fix up his greenscreen setup, and all of ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}''? He did all of it while suffering from a serious heart problem that could kill him (or at least make him feel like he's dying as he passes out) if he does too much strenuous activity.
24** It wasn't just ''any'' hot light--it was a freakin' ''Tungsten''. For that alone, he gets major props.
25* After reviewing ''Film/HighlanderTheSource'', Spoony outright declares that the film did more harm to his childhood memories than ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'', and punches the DVD case for ''The Source'' with the case for ''The Phantom Menace''. After a beat, he looks at that DVD case, declares "Fuck you too!" and punches ''that'' out of the air, picks up his copy of "''[[Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening Highlander 2]]: [[FanNickname The Dick Kickening]]''" and cuts to the [[GroinAttack scene of John C McGinley's character screaming in agony]]. The shot then cuts back to Spoony, who spots his Jaguar CD with ''Highlander: Last Of The [=MacLeods=]'' resting on top, prompting Spoony to grab his [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Gunblade]] & scream "[[ArcWords There can be only one!]]" and [[ItMakesSenseInContext decapitate the game]]. He then poses, expecting a Quickening to occur. [[AntiClimax It doesn't]].
26** Before that, him absolutely exploding that the "Source" was just granting an immortal the ability to father a child, and that it's acquired by [=McCloud=] passing a SheatheYourSword test - making a franchise already on slippery slope of {{Sequelitis}} into the exact opposite of the "ThereCanOnlyBeOne" battle of the original, and even worse making the deaths of the series' {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s [[ShootTheShaggyDog completely meaningless]]. He proceeds to further chew out the movie for screwing over the series' core principles and accusing the creators of the movie of having a "burning, seething contempt" towards the series and its fans.
27--> '''Spoony''': (After watching the ending) "'''[[BigNO NOOOO!!!]] ''[[BigNO NOOOOOOOOO!!!]]'' NOT THIS ''WAAAY!!!''''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight You're telling me that, this whole time, everything we've ever been told about fucking Immortals, their fundamental reason for existing since the first fucking movie, the foundation of the entire series,]] [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne fighting until only one remains]] ''[[ShaggyDogStory was always complete bullshit?!]]''"
28* The Deadliest Character showdown between Mechagodzilla from the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' films and the original [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Megazord]]. Everyone (be it the fellow Website/ChannelAwesome regulars or those watching it online) were wowed by the animation that was used for this battle when the episode premiered at the 2010 charity drive.
29** For that matter, getting both Power Rangers fan Linkara and Godzilla fan Creator/JamesRolfe to act as the guest experts, especially when Spoony has had disagreements with Rolfe in the past.
30** And what could possibly be cool enough to follow this up in the next episode? THE BORG VS. THE DALEKS!
31* Spoony as the Nostalgia Critic. It's kind of scary.
32** Similarly, his impersonation of WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob. He gets it down to the reactions.
33* The final battle against Black Lantern Spoony, and how he is "defeated."
34** Plus, he managed to OutrunTheFireball [[CallBack this time]]
35** Let's not forget just before that when Tidus shows up, and starts trash talking. Spoony grins at the camera remarking that "Sometimes, life's good to me", before picking up his Gunblade & loading it with bullets. All the while, Tidus is ''still'' talking, saying that he's not going to use his sword; but the most destructive force in Spira, a [[RunningGag Blitzball]]. Which Spoony then punctures before Tidus can use it, before attacking Tidus and screaming about how he hates ''Final Fantasy X''.
36* During the 2010 charity drive, everyone was asked to name their choice for the greatest animated film of all time. The choice of Spoony, who's stated a few times that he doesn't care that much for anime, even the good ones? ''Anime/{{Grave Of The Fireflies}}''.
37** Similarly, during a Series/DoctorWho-related discussion on Creator/LordKaT's stream (which was obviously meant to antagonize Spoony, as he ''hates'' the show), Linkara jokingly asked Spoony who his favorite Doctor was; without missing a beat, he replied, [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212887/ "Rowan Atkinson."]]
38* Spoony's long talk about how iMPACT! disgusted him due to utilizing Kurt and Karen Angle's children as fodder for storylines really hit home as an awesome moment: regardless of what you think of Spoony's behaviour to his fans, you ''do not fuck with children on Spoony's watch''.
39* He delivers the ultimate {{Take That}} to ''{{Film/Avatar}}'', illustrating how cheesy '80s action movie ''Mercenary Fighter'' matches the plot beat for beat.
40* Spoony appropriating Linkara's "I am a man!" and doing a {{Groin Attack}} on a Headless.
41--> Now me on the other hand... I fight like a dirty bastard.
42* Any time he has to go to a location an exert any large amounts of physical effort could be included thanks to his heart condition that can reduce him to a pale dying mess on the floor. In particular he not only had to deal with that, but injured his back while handling his equipment in E3 2011, which he managed to stave off until he returned home and relaxed, which his back took as an opportunity to immediately seize up and force him to go to the hospital to get it treated. [[OnlyAFleshWound This isn't the first time Spoony has shrugged off a major injury until it simply refused to be ignored]], but it sorta speaks to his {{Determinator}} style that he keeps it from interfering with his work until he simply has no other choice but to get it taken care of.
43* In his ''Lords of Magick'' review, his argument that--no matter how bad and low budget that film is--it ''still'' presents a more believable and well-plotted example of a character being corrupted by evil than the Star Wars prequels.
44* Playing ''VideoGame/{{Final Fantasy X2}}'' with one hand and reading ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'' with the other. For proper context, the video went up just a week after the book was released.
45* [[http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/the-most-useless-game-in-the-world-5564697 Flipping eleven coasters.]] Sure, Sad Panda soon blows his record away, but since the most their guide had ever seen successfully flipped was six, it's quite impressive from an American who'd never heard of the game before.
46* The fact that his Vlog of ''[[Film/{{Twilight}} Breaking Dawn]]'' actually manages to be longer than the actual movie, and ''far'' more entertaining and intelligent. ''While he's drunk off his ass''.
47* His vlog about Channel Awesome's trip to Washington DC includes a story of Spoony scared out of his mind filming Angry Joe as Corporate Commander, on the steps of the US Capitol, all while a sniper on the roof is keeping an eye on them.
48* And of course, his [[HesBack triumphant return]] to reviews in the ''Skullduggery'' review.
49* The masterful editing job in the ''VideoGame/UltimaVIII'' review, perfectly laying a montage of exploding treasure chests onto the 1812 Overture.
50** Hell, reviewing the ''entire series'' just so people who've never played the games and watch his show can understand how bad ''VideoGame/UltimaIX'' is, and they'll have the context for the fall of the series.
51* When Spoony finally finishes reviewing ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', not only does he get attacked by Yuna but he gets saved by none other then ''Sephiroth'', [[SequelHook who then hands him]] ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''.
52--> '''Sephiroth''': Just wanted to say... Love your work.
53* One for both Spoony and ''X-2'': Spoony finding one good thing about the game by acknowledging that the "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic A Thousand Words]]" cutscene was "actually really good" considering how much he tore apart the opening song of the game and "[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Eyes On Me]]."
54** For better context, he prepared himself for the concert, thinking it would be as bad as the opening theme and was already riffing on it by editing in lightning bolts.
55** And he ends it by saying he ''never'' wants people complaining about how he never says anything positive again.
56* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqTRgf0N9Uw new show opening]], premiering in the ''Anime/TekkenBloodVengeance'' review. The animation is pretty damn amazing.
57** From the new opening has Spoony using a new weapon, the "Oreo Cannon". BadassAdorable personified, anyone?
58* Someone took Spoony's infamous "Betrayal" rant (regarding the ''[[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown X-Com]]'' reboot) and made a ''song'' around it. Watch it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt39TNCpRTg here.]]
59** Spoony himself found the video so amusing and creative that he tweeted the song's link to his followers.
60*** And then using it in the opening of the second part of the ''VideoGame/UltimaIX'' review.
61* His review of ''VideoGame/UltimaIX'' had him tearing into the game and even had a Counter Gag, counting the numbers of plot holes and inconsistencies or "Betrayals" the game had. It ended up at 93 by the end of the first part. What's really funny is that the last 40 in the first video were done in less then ''ten minutes''. He stopped this in part two, but mostly because 1) it was getting annoying and 2) he realized that he can't judge all "betrayals" equally. However, he does point out that it went high in those first twenty minutes of playing the game, and he gathered clips to replace the counter.
62** The repeated gag of [[IdiotBall the Avatar asking "What's a paladin?"]] spawned a flurry of similar jokes ("[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]: What's a comic book?"; "Say, [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Spock]], what's a Vulcan?") on Twitter, causing "[=WhatsAPaladin=]" to trend in the U.S. for the next two days.
63** The detailed account of {{What Could Have Been}} to ensure we fully understand how pissed off the game makes him.
64* Calling out Richard Garriott over the repeated instances in the ''Ultima'' series of [[TheParagon the Avatar]] being forced into killing children. Despite his usual schtick of playing up his anger about everything, it's clear that he's genuinely offended and disgusted by it.
65* At the end of the ''VideoGame/UltimaIX'' review, Spoony pulls out his new Anti-magic Gun, figuring it would be quite effective against the Guardian. In response, the Guardian gives him three options - [[PyrrhicVictory destroy the Black Gate, eventually driving away his friends and fans]]; [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum embrace madness and end humanity's suffering through death]]; [[FusionDance or go through the Black Gate and become one with the Guardian]], [[WeCanRuleTogether their combined power making any world theirs for the taking]]. Spoony [[ShutUpHannibal casually rejects the offer]].
66--> '''Guardian''': But I think we all know how this ends, don't we, Avatar?
67--> '''Spoony''': I guess we do, but [[NonSequitur they were sometimes known as the Twelve Peers]].
68--> '''Guardian''': ...[[FlatWhat What?]]
69--> '''Spoony''': [[ShownTheirWork Now historically, they were the foremost members of]] [[UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire Charlemagne's court]], [[HistoricalHeroUpgrade although many of their famous exploits are largely fictitious]], [[PatrioticFervor representing Christian martial superiority over the Saracen hordes]].
70--> '''Guardian''': What are you dribbling about?
71--> '''Spoony''': Well, my friend... ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner That's]]'' [[BrickJoke a]] [[ThePaladin Paladin]]. (''DramaticGunCock, BLAM'')
72** Oh my yes. Even at his lowest, even after being betrayed by his favorite series, he still remembers what the game has forgotten.
73** Even the music for the ending credits is awesomely appropriate: "The Thing I Hate" by Music/StabbingWestward whose main chrous lyric is the very much appropriate "I won't become the thing I hate!"
74** A little earlier, Spoony describes how the ''Ultima'' games affected his life. Not only does this underscore his bitterness towards Ultima's downfall, it provides arguments against everyone who claims that video games are worthless. He learned to read, and at an advanced level, from the text of the games. They had deep, moving storylines that affected his tastes in fiction. Finally, they helped him build a relationship with his much older brother, and his biggest memory of his brother is playing Ultima with him. It's a perfect representation of what video games can do, and underscores how big a betrayal ''Ultima IX'' was.
75* '''[=ConBravo=] 2012 - D20 Live''': Tandem Returns
76* At the end of his crossover review of ''Transformers 3'' with Creator/BradJones, he makes one last ditch effort to reason with the ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars crowd, that this movie could have been so much better, even as a simple summer blockbuster where shit gets blown up, if the story was more stream-lined, more focused on the Autobots, there was no pointless characters and sub-plots, offensive stereotypes, etc.
77* Having an item in ''Torchlight II'' named after him. Videogame Immortality achieved!
78* The vlogs on ''Film/ParanormalActivity4'' and ''Film/{{Sinister}}'', which are more a video essay on how horror films work, and why jump scares can't carry one.
79** Note that he says that jump scares are not in and of themselves bad, and are indeed effective in carrying fear and horror when they're few and are built up enough to make them worth it, but they become the lowest form of horror if they're too numerous.
80* His rant in the ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' vlog against the compulsion to remake old classics when they could just release them as-is into theatres. While his {{angrish}} on the subject is rather amusing, the whole thing is one big good point, especially since they could make money without having spend money to make a new film to cash in on the old film's popularity.
81* Spoony ranting about how ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' consistently fails at even the most basic level of storytelling is always a delight to watch. Part [=II=] of his review starts off with ten minutes about how the game [[LostInMediasRes fails to explain anything about the world, character motivations, or backstories]]. And even when he checks into the WallsOfText of the in-game wiki, what he's looking for is ''still'' not explained. While Spoony admits that [[AtLeastIAdmitIt he nitpicks the hell out of the game]], ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' is a video game and shouldn't have to make the player read supplemental material to understand what's going on. In Part 3, Spoony outright calls the writing so bad, it becomes ''the main enemy of the game'' by having the characters constantly pointing out one of the main flaws in the story.
82** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' is so bad, Spoony started off the review admitting to taking back most of what he said about ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' being a terrible, if not the worst, Final Fantasy game around. Granted, he still hates it, but he admits that at least it '''felt''' like a Final Fantasy game. Something which ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' fails to grasp from the word go.
83** Calling Hope out on his {{Wangst}} and demonstrating [[WhatTheHellHero how he should have told]] [[IdiotHero Snow]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech off for letting his mom die]]. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
84--> "Hey, shithead! [...] Fuck you! [...] You got my mom killed, you gungho cockbrain! You grin like an asshole and for fuck's sake, brush that fucking hair off from between your fucking eyes, you slimy little jizzbucket! Fuck you! *flips a double bird*"
85* His ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' Retrospective Youtube playlist was shared by Richard Garriott himself! [[https://twitter.com/RichardGarriott/status/301115985648308228 See Here]].
86* Spoony, after seeing the twist in [[Creator/RebBrown Night Claws]] and being cheated out of what to him sounded to be one of the most CrazyIsCool ideas in movie history, rips into the every single moment right after the "betrayal", including how the Sasquatch scientist was really a bounty hunter the entire time and Frank Stallone's one and ''only'' scene, then proceeds to call it the worst Reb Brown movie ''ever''.
87* In the ''Film/{{Prometheus}}'' vlog, he and Miles give articulate arguments as to why, in their opinions, the movie is not as intelligent as it thinks it is.
88* Pointing out, during his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' review, that [[TheHero Lightning]] is quite happy to leave an entire town to die of starvation by cutting off their food supply (though Hope ''does'' thankfully talk her out of it); and that the PSICOM soldiers that the player mows down by the platoon are actually heroic as they're just trying to protect the populace from the L'Cie, who they've been told are terrorists.
89* His ''Film/IronMan3'' Vlog has him pointing out in an angry state about how offensive it is in his opinion that the Extremis soldiers are war veterans that lost their limbs and are fighting America because of that.
90* Spoony ending his review of Final Fantasy XIII not with riffing on the ending or even the final boss, but losing it when he comes across [[ItMakesSenseInContext a talking fal'Cie]], prompting him to rip apart why it causes the entire plot to collapse in on itself.
91** The review actually continues, in which the game makes even ''less'' sense, as the protagonists continue to try and defeat the main villain, which said villain has explicitly and repeatedly told them WILL DESTROY THE WORLD THEY LIVE IN, which is what he wants, as the ensuing cataclysm will reunite him with some unseen, unexplained Maker. Despite a lot of [[{{Expospeak}} blatant exposition]], the heroes are still constantly confused by the villain's motivations, and never do the one thing that could thwart the villain's plans and solve the entire situation, which is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, even though some of them explicitly suggest this.
92** The insane plot culminates during the final battle when the heroes' L'Cie brands cause them to become crystal-zombies, only for them to have an offscreen UnexplainedRecovery due to ThePowerOfFriendship, which Spoony calls bullshit on in a manner reminiscent to his ''Film/HighlanderTheSource'' review.
93-->'''Spoony''': Fuck you! Fuck you, game! You don't get to do this! You don't get to hang the fucking Sword of Damocles over the protagonists' heads, [[GoalInLife the main fear that's been driving them onward]] since the beginning of the fucking game, you don't get to do that, and then just HandWave it away by jerking off a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic brony]] and jizzing friendship sparkles all over it! This is such schmaltzy, lazily written, saccharine, childish, Pollyanna bullshit, I'm amazed [[SweetnessAversion I didn't get diabetes just watching it]]! Yeah, it all comes down to love and friendship. And you know what, I'm sure love and friendship ''can'' overcome the L'Cie curse and bring someone back. And y'know, all those other people who became L'Cie, who left behind friends, and children, and husbands, and families, y'know what? [[BrokenAesop Fuck it.]] [[ShaggyDogStory I guess those people just didn't]] ''[[ShaggyDogStory want]]'' [[ShaggyDogStory it bad enough!]]
94* His entire brawl against Snow, [[KnightOfCerebus who presents the greatest and least funny challenge Spoony has faced yet for his mandatory end-of-Final Fantasy-review fight]], and the first time Spoony has personally and legitimately KILLED his opponent. With his bare hands, no less.
95--> '''Spoony''': [[Film/RoadHouse1989 I used to]] [[PreMortemOneLiner fuck guys like you]] [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} in Tekken.]] ''[[DarkerAndEdgier [throat rip] ]]''
96* Right after looking that the video for the Wrestlemania VCR game and seeing that the video consists of nothing but random clips with text describing points, he states, despite his early surprise with the game getting the most votes, that he understood that people voted for it because they wanted to see [[HamAndCheese hammy acting]]. Most likely from Wrestling/HulkHogan. The video fails to even deliver on that, and that the other VCR board games have higher production values than the video did, and in fact his own videos have higher production values and proceeds to make clips in the style the video did to show how cheap they are. He points out that that the title in fact lies as most of the clips aren't even from a Wrestlemania, and the ones that ''are'' from Wrestlemania are from Wrestlemania IV, which is regarded as one the weakest of the series, and clips from the same match aren't shown in right order, so a person would like to watch the video for the clips can't even do that.
97** Let's admit it, Spoony impersonating all four wrestlers flawlessly was a pretty damn awesome display of acting.
98* Actually coming up with 20 minutes of entertaining material out of the mind-numbingly boring game VCR Golf.
99* ''SWAT 4'' Mission #15 is one long, brutal ([[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and still hilarious]]) {{Take That}} to Russia's shockingly homophobic laws that have had the spotlight thrust on them thanks to the Olympics.
100* Richard Garriot actually meeting him ''in person'' and saying he not only loves his videos, but actually appreciates the criticism that Spoony has dished out over the years.
101** And then Richard Garriot goes along with a skit video of Avatar!Spoony testing out the LordBritishPostulate on Lord British himself! How awesome is that?!
102* His [=WrestleWrestle=] Vlog on TNA Impact's 8-26-10 episode, his summation of Orlando Jordan's character and gimmick, he's DepravedBisexual that sexually assaults anybody he sees. His summation is accompanied with him [[SarcasmMode sarcastically commenting that's exactly what bisexuals]], coupled with his clear disgust, speak for itself so well he barely even needs to say anymore.
103* The final chapter of his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' review series. He endures a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from [[TheBigGuy Snow]], who beats Spoony to a bloody pulp and even snaps his gunblade in two. Spoony is [[{{Determinator}} able to push through this]] before using some Atmosfear boardgames to counteract Snow's gravity-coat derived SuperStrength and rip Snow's throat out. It's one of the most brutal and bloody fight-scenes to ever be featured in the story segments of an internet review show.
104** A bit earlier, he looks straight at the camera and says with dead seriousness that this is the worst-written game he's ''ever'' played. For the full impact of this, recall his thoughts on ''Ultima IX''.
105** The opening of the ''XIII'' review has him holding ''VIII'', and saying "I'm sorry." Although it is partly due to XIII being ''that much worse'' in his opinion, he does look back a bit better at ''VIII'' these days, and he does apologise for his more controversial jokes from the review.
106* His commentary of of the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' criticizing how pathetic a fight Yu Yevon is, and he points out the in-universe justifications most fans of the game give for why the fight is so easy, to which he points out if Yu Yevon being pathetic was the point then it would have made killing in a cutscene to make more sense than having boss fight.
107* On the ''Final Fantasy XIII'' commentary, he goes into how he actually had to improve the editing of some of the cutscenes, putting in more reaction shots and such so that they wouldn't slow the videos down too much, or result in awkward split-second glimpses of the next shot before cutting back to him.
108* While watching the ''Series/MiamiVice'' episode where Reb Brown played the villain, Spoony gets despondent when Reb goes up against Tubbs, sure that he's about to see his hero die ''again''. Instead, Reb turns out to be wearing body armor, and is barely affected by several bullets before ''shooting Tubbs in the head'', albeit non-fatally. And when he does finally die, it's a DyingMomentOfAwesome that almost takes Crockett with him.
109** And the dinosaur roar from ''Film/{{Duel}}'' is added when we see the replay.
110* Spoony's disgust at how shameless the fanservice the character creator for Final Fantasy 14 is... especially when some of the fanservice involves ''children''.
111* When reminiscing about The Ultimate Warrior, he brings up how his title match with Hulk Hogan is his all-time favorite match, even though he admits the match itself wasn't very good, he likes for the fact that it's one of the few clean losses Hulk Hogan had in that era, fully admitting that his preference for the match is just personal taste and little else.
112* His amazing Black Knight costume from ''Ultima: Runes of Virtue''.
113** Speaking of The Black Knight, credit where it's due. He's one of the few villains to get one over on Spoony.
114* His review of the Platform/Commodore64 version of ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'' could be considered a tribute to the movie itself, which he clearly shows a lot of love for, as it's filled with many references to it. One could even end up checking it out thanks to him.
115* The sheer amount of ShownTheirWork he did in his latest "Black Hole of Board Games."
116** The end of the review, where Spoony hits a mini-DespairEventHorizon, wondering if all of wrestling completely sucked, and he's only just NOW noticing this. But, when he declares that he's going to go back to the legitimately awesome games he did in the first of the Black Hole series, Wrestling/TheWyattFamily shows up, with [[CoDragons Ken Trayling as Erick Rowan, Steve Hessler as Luke Harper]], and Zach [=LaVoy=] as [[BigBad Bray Wyatt]] himself. Things quickly go MindScrew-[[BuffySpeak ey]] fast, but whatever happens next... it's bound to be CreepyAwesome to the extreme!
117*** Even though Zach [=LaVoy=]!Bray Wyatt only gets one line, he delivers it with spot-on creepiness - the effect being made "better" by him revealing himself by [[MatchlightDangerRevelation striking a match]], and then lighting a lantern to reveal [[BodyguardingABadass Erick and Luke flanking him]], before [[SmashToBlack blowing the lantern out]]. [[OffscreenTeleportation And then the next cut]] [[OhCrap has them surrounding Spoony.]]
118--> [[WhamLine Spoony...]] ''[[CatchPhrase We're here.]]''
119* After catching flak on the internets (as usual) for calling the return of [[InsistentTerminology (The Man Called)]] {{Sting}} to the WWE a terrible debut and really, really bad idea, Spoony gives his haters an entire YouCantHandleTheParody.
120--> "Son, we've got a wrestling product that sucks balls, and these balls need to be kicked by men with standards. Who's gonna do it? You? You mouthbreathing Youtube commenters? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Wrestling/DolphZiggler, and you curse the [[Wrestling/JohnCena Cenation]]. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That burying Ziggler, while tragic, probably saves pay-per-view buys. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves buys! You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at Xbox Live parties, you want me on that vlog! You need me on that vlog! We use words like 'Kayfabe,' 'Mark,' 'Workrate'. We use these words as the backbone of a childhood spent loving wrestling. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time or the inclination to explain myself to a mob who rises and sleeps demanding to know my every opinion on every goddamn thing in the world, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just say 'Thank you', and click on an ad along the way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a camera, and make a blogpost! Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!"
121* Doctor Insano gets one during the MassacreAtCentralHigh Review, in which he successfully divides by zero to teleport Spoony back from wherever he was taken to.
122* In his ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' review, Spoony and April both give Tony a serious WhatTheHellHero speech for the entire movie being his fault.
123* In Spoony and April's review of ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 32'', Spoony calls out the insane risk that Shane [=McMahon=] took in diving off the top of the cage onto the Spanish announce table. Besides just being amazed that Shane pulled it off at all, Spoony gives a WhatTheHellHero speech, saying the spot was insane when Wrestling/MickFoley did it in 1998, only now it was even more risky because the cage was even taller. Spoony gets especially mad on how Shane did this in front of his kids, and that if he had missed, Shane would be crippled ''at best''. He also says that the fact the move went off without a hitch is no excuse for planning it in the first place.
