7* Caddy's sense of humour usually involves a lot of jumpscares which can catch a lot of people off guard. These can often pop up during any video and doesn't have to be a horror related review however they are seen to be humourous and not to outright scare but it can still really startle people whether it's his use of distorted and highly amplified audio or flashing images which sometimes pop up now and again during the videos.
8* His Halloween special with Jordan Underneath has a bit of this thanks to Jordan. Literally the first two seconds of Jordan's appearance, in fact.
9-->'''Caddy:''' Hey, Jordan, it's me-\
10'''Jordan:''' ''(With sunken-in, unnatural-looking eyes)'' '''''FUCK OFF CADDY!'''''
11** From the same review, [[https://youtu.be/0oGum1opvkI?t=370 Zombies and Monsters...]]
12** The ending of the review has Jordan Underneath using a voodoo doll to mutilate and stab Caddy to death. It's as pleasant as it sounds.
13--->'''Jordan:''' Die! Just DIE! '''JUST DIE!!!'''
14* His #1 in his "My Top 10 Things in Games that Scared Me as a Kid!" video...just it needs to be seen to be believed. Not helped that he uses the enemies from the game as a JumpScare at the end.
15* From the ''Casper: A Spirited Beginning'' video:
16-->'''Caddy:'''''''' [[NightmareFace SNIVEL I WILL DEMIST YOU]]'''''
17* [[https://youtu.be/IHULQSjm5DI?t=10m36s THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH]]
18** And now, from the same video, [[https://youtu.be/IHULQSjm5DI?t=14m18s Floppy Fucking Brick.]] He makes it out like something out of ''Film/SawI'' of all things!
19* "Story Time with Daddy Caddy," especially because [[NonSequitur it tends to pop up at random]] and, once it passes, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment is never acknowledged or mentioned again.]] To give some specific examples:
20** ''Mary Had a Little Lamb'' ends with the school teacher murdering the lamb and turning it into hamburgers [[DisproportionateRetribution after Mary brings it to school despite the rules]].
21** ''Three Blind Mice'' has the farmer's wife dismembering the titular mice by cutting off their ears and tails and [[EyeScream gouging out their eyes]].
22** In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'', he uses the part about Harry being "the boy who lived" to go on a tangent about how everyone who lives [[AnyoneCanDie will also eventually die at some point]]. He then caps it off with:
23--->''' Daddy Caddy:''' And if you don't die, I'll make sure that you do.
24* From "PETER PANCREAS":
25-->'''Caddy:''' ''~Roses are red, violets are blue...''\
26'''Floating head of WebVideo/IHateEverything: I know where you live, and ''' '''[[ParanoiaFuel I'm watching you.]]'''
27* His rendition of "This Little Piggy" from ''Classic Nursery Rhymes'' is genuinely unsettling.
28* The lullaby he makes up for the Peppa Pig Music CD, depicting his desire to see Peppa and George get trapped in a gorge. Might be funny...except for the accompanying image of Peppa and George, terrified and crying as they try to escape a gorge while a creepy ambience plays in the background. What's worse? Good-eared people can identify the ambience as none other than [[VideoGame/SilentHill1 "My Heaven".]]
29* In his video about the [[Platform/PlayStation5 PS5]], he talks about [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet Sackboy]] and about how you [[HappinessIsMandatory can't help but be happy]] when you see him. Cue a scene where Caddy is wearing a BrownBagMask with a smiley face drawn on it only to slowly take it off to [[JumpScare reveal]] [[NightmareFace a horrifically distorted face]] while loud music briefly plays in the background.
30** Similarly, his response to a bad pun in ''Bugsnax'': [[JumpScare a sudden cut]] to a harshly lit extreme closeup of Caddy letting out an [[SensoryAbuse extremely loud]] forced laugh. [[UncannyValley Except it looks like Caddy's been animated by stopmotion, and the movements of his face don't match the sound he's making.]]
31*** It happens again when ''Overcooked'' makes a similar pun. It's still just as sudden.
32** The Bricks return, revealing to Caddy that he fathered their child. A brick with bloodshot human eyes and a gigantic grin.
33*** This comes after a NonSequitur gag where Caddy seemingly lives with a clone of himself who requires medication to not murder the original Caddy. [[NightmareRetardant But his song about it is catchy.]]
34* During his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UESBgX9cavg review on his old videos]], he starts asking the bricks if he can go back outside, [[ItMakesSenseInContext before the giant stock image of bricks at the front of his window]] attend to brainwash him to stay indoors, within that he then starts to in all of the viewers to stay inside and wash their hands in a droning voice, followed by him having blood all over his hands [[AndIMustScream causing him to freak out.]]
35* During ''The Wonderful World of [=PS1=] Demo Discs'' Caddy abruptly goes from describing the bizarre and trippy menu backgrounds to [[MadnessMantra praising some sort of walrus deity that is watching over him.]]
36** One of the segment transitions intercuts the hyperkinetic editing of a demo trailer set to techno music with Caddy suddenly screaming in pain.
37* Some of Caddy's Twitter icons can be disturbing, including some that utilised the [[MemeticMutation Content Aware Scale]] effect. He once claimed he changed it because he had a nightmare that the distorted icon was standing at the foot of his bed.
38* Caddy's thousand-yard-stare in the animated video ''I'm Sorry.'', when he realises that he just accidentally deleted all of his footage.
39** At one point, Caddy claims to have been asleep, dreaming that he was awake. His dream self is staring at a gun.
40** [[DerangedAnimation The "when life gives you lemons"]] JumpScare.
41* The ending to "The Horrible World Of Kinect Games" where The Kinect controller, suddenly starts talking with eyes that looks like [[DemonicPossession it's been possessed by a demon.]]
42** Caddy's [[SensoryAbuse quite loud scream]] after a pause.
43* "The Illegal World of Crash Bandicoot Bootlegs" has a scene where Caddy sets a Crash Bandicoot plushie on fire, where it then burns away from the face down as it lets out a horrifying scream.
44** In the same video, when Caddy covers ''Coco Crash Adventure Rescue'', he notices that its developer is named "Jumming Mission'' and asks what jumming means. Cue a silver blowup mannequin rising from the ground, complete with [[SickeningCrunch bone cracking noises]]. It tells Caddy it knows what it is and wants to tell him about it. UncannyValley doesn’t even begin to describe it.
45* At the very end of "The Legendary World of Spyro Games", A Sam Widge sketch ends with a 1,000,000 subscriber message... that then gives way to [[WebAnimation/{{Xploshi}} Xploshi's]] cameo, which is her editing Sam Widge('s sous chef) warping into a hideous creature with sunken black eyes and a giant twisted smile. All the while, "ribbed for her pleasure" repeats in the background, not helping much due to being [[VoiceOfTheLegion echoed, in various deep pitches.]]
46** [[MoodWhiplash This then cuts to the very last cameo, consisting of]] [[WebVideo/SomeCallMeJohnny SomeCallMeJohnny]] [[MoodWhiplash dancing next to a flaming Spyro.]]
47* During "The Ripoff World of Crash Bandicoot Merchandise", Caddy shows off a goofy-looking Crash mini-light, which bellows out a hauntingly slowed down version of his laugh in the ''Crash Bandicoot 2'' CG trailer as a red filter envelops it.
48** During an ad-plug for Caddy's own merchandise at the Pixel Empire, we learn that the one in the [=PS1=]-styled ads isn't the product of a framing device. It's the ''real'' Caddicarus, still trapped there from the Spyro special's commercial, with the one doing the review being a replica that conveniently neglected to mention it. When the signal to the [=PS1=] dimension goes black, he turns towards the camera at an agonizingly slow pace with his lips pursed shut in an antagonistic smirk, puts a finger up to his lips, and makes an almost imperceptibly soft whistle to urge the audience to forget what they just saw.
49* Although the Spons plush campaign was overall [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments pretty funny,]] the skeletal Spons image used in it somewhat falls into the UncannyValley, especially with the bones forming Spons' kite body. This also appears in ''The Ugly World of the [=PS2 EyeToy=]'', after Spons dies.
50* Caddy ends ''The Ugly World of the [=PS2 EyeToy=]'' by showcasing the [=EyeToy's=] ability to take pictures for ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'', which he uses to create his own level... featuring a positively ''hellish'' landscape overseen by countless pictures of Caddy's face, many of which being {{nightmar|eFace}}ish. For example, some have bleeding red splotches for eyes, and one is seen with his eyes popping out of their sockets on springs! Not to mention they seek to ''brutally murder'' Sackboy!
51--> '''prepare for the harvest, child'''
