Context YMMV / Gamechap

Go To

1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
2** Just how benevolent ''is'' Squiddington? Is he a benevolent guy that just has problems dealing with stuff that annoys him or a BitchInSheepsClothing?
3** Some fans believe that Bertie is ObfuscatingStupidity after CharacterizationMarchesOn.
4* AudienceAlienatingEra: Gamechap and Bertie were popular for their QuintessentialBritishGentleman commentary while also focusing on various {{Game Mod}}s and gaming news, interjected with comedic skits and the like. But ever since being OvershadowedByControversy and losing many viewers, the [=AdamzoneTopMarks=] channel has never been the same. The chaps signature commentary being phased out in favor of ninety percent no-commentary videos, including of back-to-back ''Super Mario Maker''/''Miitopia'' playthroughs, re-uploads of popular game trailers, topics that are cheap attempts at {{Fanservice}} and {{Fetish}} appeal (tame enough to avoid the [=YouTube=] AI), and other low-effort content has left the channel's viewership fluctuating downward from then on. Any returns to the classic format has been few and far between, with Gamechap and Bertie -- the source of the channels appeal -- being completely absent.
5* BrokenBase:
6** Less noticeable, but there are occasionally comments from people that miss the early dynamic of Bertie being the OnlySaneMan, with Gamechap as the CloudCuckoolander. These comments in turn receive replies indicating the opposite for others.
7** New channel [=TheChapsPlay=] (link [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVLXisr9rz2-09JJWINqH8Q here]]) is either a refreshing return to their roots or a deviation from their ''Smash Bros'' coverage, which had started to win fans back. There are also fans that like the content but would prefer it to be on the main channel, where it would get more coverage.
8* EnsembleDarkhorse:
9** The duo were this for Yogscast fans even before they joined, given how erratically funny they were in the crossover videos. A good dose of CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass helped this no end, particularly in Crown Conquest.
10** Squiddington himself, owing to his CharacterExaggeration over the years.
11* FandomRivalry:
12** While initially the duo got on well with the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} and their fandoms did likewise, their eventually rude response to a bit of fan criticism got them kicked out of the Yogscast. Since then, mention one group on the other's forum and you will be met with scorn (or a ban, if you post on Gamechap's). LetsPlay/HatFilms and LetsPlay/LewisBrindley in particular have been more vocal with criticism, leading to another rivalry.
13** While initially somewhat popular with the ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' community even after they’re falling out with the Yogscast, this is no longer the case. This is partly due to Gamechap's starting a Twitter war with Marc Watson of Mojang over 500,000 accounts initially being hacked (when in reality that was not the case) and then not crediting an animator for his work on the bunny hopping animation.
14* HarsherInHindsight:
15** At one point, Gamechap and Bertie made a video regarding ''Pixelmon'' [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/222bia/pixelmon_mod_authors_issue_false_copyright/ which revealed some malicious programming on the part of the mod team]], and how they had been subsequently silenced. Come later in 2014, there is a Reddit post about [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/28qt8d/psa_warning_to_all_smaller_minecraft_youtubers_do/ a rather major scandal]] involving Gamechap's supposed stealing of fan-submitted content and his subsequent silencing of any criticism directed towards him ''and'' his past history of doing so. This was enough for large numbers of fans to disown Gamechap altogether.
16** Furthermore, when a leak for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros 4'' was revealed to have data regarding Ryu and Roy (From ''Street Fighter'' and ''Fire Emblem'') returning as DLC, they reported on the information, even though it was not theirs to take and put on the internet. Then, when Nintendo decided to take the video down, they quickly produced a video which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ14Ek7Y4tQ amounted to them talking]] about Nintendo taking down a video which was of information the company wished to keep secret, and a decision which is wholly logical on Nintendo's part. However, this did also happen to several other big-name Youtubers who appeared in the comment section of that video.
17* NightmareFuel:
18** Herobrine, as usual. Also, the Nightmare Golem.
19** Herobrine gets MUCH scarier in the 1.3 vid about HIM being removed. At first, it looks like it's just gonna be an ordinary hilarious video about them thinking he's gone, when he's not. Then it switches to HIS point of view; all the sound is echoey, he's breathing hard, and he promptly builds a glow stone E. Then, he starts placing redstone torches. WHILE LETTING OUT A HORRENDOUS SCREAM. Then Game's door opens by itself. The music certainly doesn't help either...
20* MemeticBadass: Bertie, at least when it comes to blowing things up.
21* MemeticMutation:
22** Anything in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjEA7BXJY9I this]] video gets quoted in the comments of that video.
23** "Boobs, lol"
24** "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"
25* TheScrappy: Even before they joined Yogscast, the pair were considered this among that fanbase due to several battle royale type events they participated in and essentially shouted over whoever they got paired with the whole time.
