Line #13 Trivia/SchaffrillasProductions


1	* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: In ''Why WesternAnimation/Shrek2 is a Perfect Sequel,'' he mispronounces Creator/JohnCleese's name as "John Cheese". "Cheese" was actually Cleese's father's original surname, which he changed when he enlisted in the army during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI for [[EmbarrassingLastName obvious reasons]].
2	* ApprovalOfGod:
3	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wextmBQjgUw The YTP of puppet Youtuber Arlo]] was praised by Arlo himself in the comments.
4	** Scott the Woz also commented on Schaffrillas' poop of him, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUdnDoIXrOE an entry for his own Super Smash Bros collab,]] saying "Thank you. For everything."
5	** Doug Walker posted a link to [[https://www.facebook.com/127127037353766/posts/im-glad-somebody-finally-figured-out-that-i-think-shark-tale-is-amazing-and-beau/1440512152681908/ the YTP on his "glowing review of Shark Tale"]]. Even [[SelfDeprecation making fun of himself for thinking Tamatoa was a turtle.]] Years later, when Walker was streaming a playthrough of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', a fan sarcastically called [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Tia Dalma's crabs]] turtles "like in ''Moana''", and Walker laughed and admitted it was on him.
6	** After Schaff finished his video on ranking ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' songs, series creator Dan Povenmire [[https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/1252439823698153472 retweeted]] Schaff's video and gave his approval.
7	** Creator/MikePollock commented on his review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatoing}}'', in which Pollock had a voice role.
8	** Creator/MatPat commented on his ''WebVideo/GameTheory''-esque video about ''WesternAnimation/FreeBirds'' and featured Schaffrillas Productions as one of his favorite channels on his farewell video.
9	* AscendedFanon: His commenters renamed [[WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter Rumplestiltskin]] to "WebVideo/ShaneDawson" long before Schaff himself used that comparison in his ''Shrek 4'' review.
10	* BreakthroughHit: "Why Disney's Twist Villains Don't Work" was easily the video that brought in a majority of viewers. According to his Twitter page, it was the video that changed his life.
11	* CreatorsApathy:
12	** In his Creator/BlueSkyStudios Ranking Video, he pretty much explicitly states that he made the video solely out of the obligation of people expecting him to make a ranking video of every major animation studio. He repeats in the video multiple times that he has no strong positive or negative feelings for the studio or any of their works (with the exception of ''{{WesternAnimation/Robots}}''), and considers the vast majority of their films to be of similar mediocre quality. When the video got taken down about a year later due to copyright, he admitted getting it back up would be an easy fix, but didn't even bother doing it due to the backlash from ''{{WesternAnimation/Rio}}'' fans over his ranking of those movies (and then he reuploaded it on April Fool’s Day, moving ''Rio 2'' to #1 to spite the fanbase).
13	** In 2024, James announced that he no longer had any passion for videos about mainstream animated movies at all. While he wasn't going to stop making videos about them outright, he said that he would only make them to [[MoneyDearBoy fund more personal videos]] about musicals, video games, directors, and ''Franchise/StarWars''.
14	* CreatorBacklash:
15	** Schaffrillas deeply regrets the gag of Creator/StanLee [[DeathByCameo getting killed]] in "Spider-Boy Fights The Green Gollum" in light of Stan Lee's death just ''nine days'' after uploading it.
16	** In his revisit of ''Series/BetterCallSaul'', he admits that he isn't too fond of his initial review of the show in hindsight, finding his analysis to be fundamentally flawed due to unfairly comparing it to ''Series/BreakingBad'' instead of evaluating it on its own merits, him neglecting to mention the many positive aspects of the show and season 6 causing him to re-evaluate and rethink his feelings towards the show as a whole.
17	* DiedDuringProduction: Editor Chris Schaffer and James' brother Patrick managed to film appearances in a couple of upcoming videos before the two were tragically killed in a sudden car crash.
18	* InMemoriam: His WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0F_SPbAn6E Be our Guest Reanimated collab]] was dedicated to Creator/AngelaLansbury, who voiced Mrs. Potts in the movie and who passed away in the 11th of October of 2022.
19	* MagnumOpusDissonance: James doesn't seem entirely happy with being primarily known for his animation videos while his videos about live-action movies, video games, and live theater tend to be less popular. He's expressed surprise that his ''{{WesternAnimation/Megamind}}'' review is his most popular while extremely heartfelt, personal videos like his ''{{Theatre/Hadestown}}'' review are ignored. In his ''Anime/WhisperOfTheHeart'' review, he said that he "wished you guys cared a bit more about musicals."
20	* MeaningfulReleaseDate:
21	** He released his review of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' on April 14th, which was the birthday of his late brother Patrick, who reviewed the two previous seasons with him and helped him get into the show.
22	** Similarly, on October 9th, he uploaded a review of the mockbuster ''[[Creator/VideoBrinquedo What's Up? Balloon to the Rescue!]]''. That same date was the birthday of his best friend Chris, who James had a series with where they reviewed other mockbusters and who died in the same car crash as Patrick. James also said that that video is gonna be his very last mockbuster review.
23	* MilestoneCelebration:
24	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9_K8rTzT8o Plinktan and Krabz Get Steamy]] is his 50th poop, as commemorated by the special intro. It also happens to be his first poop to feature ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' as the main source. A few days later he uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9CDfeIvwVI this video,]] a parody of Disney's countdown of the first 50 films in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, featuring snippets of the 50 poops he had made up to that point (including collabs).
25	** He also hosted a collab based on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' not only to commemorate the show's 25th anniversary, but in order to pay tribute to it since the 25th season that aired earlier that year was also the show's last.
26	* MissingEpisode:
27	** The [[Franchise/{{Cars}} Lightning McQueen]] episode of his "Will They Be in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]]?" series has been removed.
28	** His ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' review was blocked for unknown reasons.
29	** His original rendition of the ranking video for Creator/BlueSkyStudios, featuring his honest opinion over ''WesternAnimation/Rio2'', where he admitted that he thought it was worse than the first film, but he got more ironic enjoyment out of it, was blocked due to it containing copyrighted music. He decided to keep it blocked as a response to [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings viewers who have harassed him]] over his opinions on ''Rio 2'', as they were angry that he didn't hate the movie enough, only to later upload an altered version of it with the segment covering the film removed and a different ending, serving as an AprilFoolsDay prank.
30	** His "Why [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa]] is a Terribly Written Character" video was made private for unknown reasons.
31	** His videos about ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' season 3 were taken down for unknown reasons.
32	* ScheduleSlip: James originally intended to release his review of ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Clone Wars]]'' season 3 review with Patrick in December 2022, but due to the end of 2022 already being packed with other projects, it was pushed back to early 2023. However, after Patrick's tragic passing, the review was put on hold, though James has said that Patrick had finished his part of the review before his passing.
33	* ScrewedByTheLawyers:
34	** "Spingebill Awakens a Very Steamed Clam" was eventually hit by a copyright violation claim, and can currently only be seen through [[https://youtu.be/n873PI3bi7k re-uploads done by other channels]] and reaction videos.
35	** "Spingebill Jams some Juicy Jellies" got hit with a similar claim.
36	** His ''Film/CIApe'' video was blocked in certain countries because of a copyright claim.
37	** His ''Film/DearEvanHansen'' review was blocked by a copyright claim.
38	* SleeperHit: His video "Why ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' is a Subversive Masterpiece" is his most viewed video, and his channel saw a huge boost in subscribers after it was uploaded.
39	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
40	** [[https://twitter.com/Schaffrillas/status/984567440347627520 Originally planned to do a third Disneycember YTP,]] until the [=ChangeTheChannel=] controversy at Website/ChannelAwesome.
41	** In his "Every Disney Animation Movie Ranked Video", James said that his first big project of 2023 would probably be his long procrastinated in depth review of the ''Film/DearEvanHansen'' movie that he mentioned he would make in the future when he first reviewed the movie. However, following the tragic car accident he was in and the loss of Patrick and Chris, James said [[https://twitter.com/Schaffrillas/status/1627740483333066763?lang=en that one of his self-imposed caveats of returning to videos would be to focus on topics he enjoys]], so overly negative reviews like ''Dear Evan Hansen'' wouldn't be happening in the near future.
42	* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings:
43	** Schaff has indicated on Reddit he scrapped his video on ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld'' over the backlash he got for his review of [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2 the second film]] where he called it good, but the weakest one.
44	** After his ranking video on Blue Sky was blocked for containing copyrighted music, instead of fixing the situation, James decided to deliberately keep the video blocked to the public (making it a MissingEpisode in the process) as a response to those who have harassed him over his ranking of ''WesternAnimation/Rio2'' because he put it above the first film, even though he said he didn't like the movie and admitted it was worse than the first but he got more ironic enjoyment, with his [[https://twitter.com/schaffrillas/status/1631211035167191041?s=61&t=m7fiT1CG-Id-jG9aSe-vEw tweet]] announcing the decision [[DearNegativeReader calling them out and saying that they are responsible]]. He later re-uploaded it on AprilFoolsDay, but with his original discussion of ''Rio 2'' removed and the ending significantly revised, where it claimed it was the best movie ever as a TakeThat to those who harassed him for merely disliking the movie as opposed to outright hating it.
