1* ApprovalOfGod: A bizarre case: ''VideoGame/HuniePop'' dev Ryan Koons stated he thoroughly enjoyed Dan's video on the game - a video in which he quite simply ''ripped the game to pieces''.
2* ColbertBump: When Notch retweeted Dan's anniversary update, the site was crushed under the strain of Notch's followers. For weeks.
3** Dan's video on ''VideoGame/{{Overgrowth}}'' caused the games sales to increase dramatically after it was posted, which [[http://blog.wolfire.com/2013/12/Why-Game-Developers-Need-YouTubers the developers acknowledge]].
4** In April 2015 he released a video of the game ''VideoGame/OuterWilds'', causing the Procrastinators to crash the download server with traffic.
5* FanCommunityNickname: "Procrastinators".
6* TrollingCreator: Depending on your reaction, [[https://youtu.be/kiBNyhP6BGI Dan's channel reboot]] shown during his 12 hour livestream might make you a little [[TearJerker sad]] or [[WhatTheHellHero angry]]. The in the last quarter of the video it is revealed that [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/StuartAshen Ashens]] will be taking over Dan's [=YouTube=] channel in the following month. After a few hours, the whole thing was revealed as a joke and many of Dan's fans ''exploded'' with anger over the fact they got played.]]
7* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Ever since the November 2013 [=YouTube=] comment section was introduced, Dan got a lot of spam links on his videos. As such, he took to disabling comments on his newer videos entirely, only allowing comments via sub-[[Website/{{Reddit}} Reddits]]. This was later averted when he opened up the [=YouTube=] comment section again on all his videos, including ones that were uploaded during the time he kept them closed.
