11	* Sign your entries.
12	* One moment to a troper, if multiple entries are signed to the same troper the more recent one will be cut.
13	* Moments only, no "just everything he said" entries.
14	* No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
15	* No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
16	* No ALLCAPS, no '''bold''', and no ''italics'' unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the [=DMoSs=] out loud.
17	* Explain why it's a [[invoked]]DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck.
18	* Please no HePannedItNowHeSucks. Someone having a different opinion than you is not nearly a good enough justification for something being seen as stupid or offensive.
19	* Creator's works only. No moments on the author themselves or personal experience with them.

22	* Ansem Paul: He claims to have played Monster Hunter Tri for 10 hours, saying that the tutorial was 10 hours long. His comments quickly review that the tutorial is FORTY FIVE MINUTES LONG, and an hour and a half if you're very slow. If he had played it properly and hated it, he could have probably made a funnier review where he actually bashes the game for what it does wrong.
23	* HT_Black: The Split/Second review itself wasn't bad...but that one line about eating a poor woman's fetus made this troper's stomach turn. It was, to put it simply, unbelievably frikkin' disgusting; hell, it would've made the Angry Video Game Nerd feel a bit ill.
24	* Mokyn: When he announced the winners for a contest he'd held, to see if anyone could make a Zero Punctation type game. He pretty much just insults everyone who entered, saying that even the winners made crap. His tone isn't even a sort of "Oh, but you know I'm kidding," type of tone. He just insults his fans and doesn't care.
25	* P2theSnake: I'm gonna go with his E3 2010 video - the dethroning moment is how he considers the new Donkey Kong Country and a new Kid Icarus as rehashed games doomed from the start. Hasn't it been about two decades since the last Kid Icarus?
26	* SickBritKid: For this troper, it was the beginning of his ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' review. After bitching about how "worthless" America was in his Splinter Cell: Conviction review, Yahtzee then used the first few minutes of his Black Ops review to compare America to Twitards because of all of the jingoistic war games based on a hypothetical America-being-invaded-by-Russia scenario.
27	** SG_Man_Forever: Seconded, but in a different way. There's also the detail he apparently forgot: America is at war with Afghanistan, and the majority of the population considers this to be a very bad thing, and wants the war to end as soon as humanly possible. War hungry, my ass.
28	* Darkurai: The beginning of Yahtzee's iPod Games review really did it for me. He said that he was going to review Sonic Colors originally, and that it looked promising for starting off with gameplay and not story, but he stopped playing when it turned out to have story. Sonic Colors has the least story out of any Sonic game in years.
29	** SergeantLuke: Not to mention he's explicitly stated, several times, that he prefers games with stories.
30	* theLibrarian: His rant against Star Wars fans in the beginning of his review for The Force Unleashed II. While it's true that the franchise is apparently being milked for all it's worth, him saying that SW fans fail at life and won't admit that a lot of stuff in the franchise is crap is completely uncalled for. Just because Yahtzee thinks that It's Popular, Now It Sucks doesn't mean that he can insult the fanbase. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
31	* Raxis: Yahtzee's Minecraft review was actually very good and managed to be funny without insulting the hell out of the game for once, except for the first part, where he chose to take yet ANOTHER dig at America for no particular reason. There wasn't even anything in the context of the game to bring it up!
32	** MosquitoMan: Again in the very next review for A Shadow's Tale, where he opened up mocking all the different regions that get games, but specifically calling America out for the title difference, which in itself wasn't that bad, but when all the previous xenophobia is added, it really starts making him look like a jerk.
33	* Marioking98341: Beginning of his ''VideoGame/DayZ'' review, when he instantly shot down New Super Mario Bros. 2 without giving it a fair chance, and to boot, he actually attempted to state that he wasn't biased against Nintendo in a earlier review. This isn't helping your case out Yahtzee.
34	* Tropers/CerotechOmega: Yahtzee's handling of E3 2014 was kind of lame in and of itself, but his vitriol against (surprise, surprise) Nintendo shows that his hay parachute has fallen apart, and he's grasping at individual straws just to save face. His primary constituents are that Nintendo wanks the Mario and Zelda franchises relentlessly, whilst the majority of the show was taken by stellar entries like ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'', ''VideoGame/Splatoon1'', ''VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld'', ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', and more, with only ''Splatoon'' getting a bare mention by him; he complains about the overload of cinematic cutscenes with nary a demo, whereas the latter was the entirety of Nintendo's performance, with every automated sequence being in-engine; and he omits the Treehouse completely, where the fans got to see more of these lovely games in action. Bad enough on its own, but when added to his history of anti-Nintendo sentiment, it paints a very ugly picture on how much of a hypocrite he's become. Ben Croshaw, do the world a favor and slice the "professional" out of your "professional troll" title if this is how you're going to be.
35	* Tropers/{{cricri3007}}: His ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIII'' review, for not mentioning you can play as a female PlayerCharacter. When a part of the marketing was built around finally playing as a woman in a Call Of Duty game, he should have at the very least mentioned it as a possibility, even if just for complaining about some of the issues with the female PC writing. Doubly so since he talked about the Nightmare mode (playable only with a female PC) but didn't said a word about it. That little thing made me lose all respect I had for him as a professional critic.
36	* Tropers{{darksteel)): Putting ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs2'' as the #1 worst game of 2020 on his "Best, Worst and Blandest of 2020" list was the first time where I got the sense that Yahtzee wasn't truly being honest with his opinion and was exaggerating solely to appeal to a certain crowd(specifically the TLOU2 haters as the Escapist forums are loaded with toxic trolls hating on the game for shallow reasons)as in his actual review of the game he did actually have genuinely nice things to say about the game and the review sounded perfectly reasonable(aside from the dumb joke at the end about Ellie being "turned gay" guessing Yahtzee never played the "Left Behind" DLC) so it would've made sense for Yahtz to put in on the bland list or just kinda ignore like it he did with ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'' but his bullshit explanation for putting the game at #1 on his worst list and his BlatantLies as to why it deserved to be on there in spite of him praising it and not sounding remotely as negative towards it in the actual review as he did to any of his other #1 worst picks in previous years really soured my opinion on him as a whole and makes me much less trusting of his opinions since then.
37	* Skunkbrains: His ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' review is the lowest effort piece of garbage I think I've ever seen. He doesn't even bother customising his characters, instead opting for the random character button, then complains about how the bonding system is boring. Well maybe if you bothered making interesting characters, or even just searched up things you think is interesting you'd have a better time. Don't forget about how he whines about RNG food preferences screwing over his characters, when you can change and swap classes in the late game, and the fact forcefeeding them the food can still work.
38	* Tropers/DoctorZtar: This is an oldie, but it's still when I stopped watching him - the "response" video to the comments on his review of Super Smash Bros Brawl. The earliest sign that he doesn't actually mean a single word of what he says, and deliberately picks his statements just to piss people off. He made an entire review just to lure out comments, and then cherry-picks the stupidest ones to point and laugh at, patting himself on the back the entire time. He's not a critic. He's not even a good troll. He's just an overgrown grade school bully.
39	* Tropers/MagisterFlopsy: His ''Kingdom Hearts III'' review was mainly about Yahtzee's gripes with the command menu system and how clunky it is to have a turn-based RPG-style interface in an action RPG. Apparently he didn't even realize that just about any action that isn't Sora's basic attack or a situation command can be bound to L1 + a face button (and the game actually expects you to do this as it's the only way to cast multiple spells consecutively), which is made all the more egregious by the fact that he played it on a stream in which chat repeatedly tried to tell him about this feature and was ignored.
40	* Tropers/{{Mullon}}: In his ''VideoGame/MarvelsAvengers'' video when he called ComicBook/MsMarvel a diversity hire, the racist non-comic reading prick.
