5	* HePannedItNowHeSucks: A frequent reaction to some of his articles, particularly the ones about [[http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=elizabeth_smart Elizabeth Smart]] and [[http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=creeve Christopher Reeve]].
6	* HilariousInHindsight:
7	** Look at the screenshot montage on his [[http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=xbox_suckit Xbox rant]], written in 2002. The games shown are ''VideoGame/MetalSlug 3'', ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'', and ''VideoGame/RadiantSilvergun'', three games Maddox ranted would never appear on the Platform/{{Xbox}}. All three games eventually made it to the Xbox or Platform/{{Xbox 360}}.
8	** One of his complaints about ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was the unimaginative name given to General Grievous, suggesting that they call all future bad guys "Evil" and "Bad" if they're not even going to try coming up with good names. Come ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' Season 4 and its introduction of Darth Maul's brother named ''"Savage Oppress"''. Then there's [[https://www.gameinformer.com/index.php/b/features/archive/2015/04/04/fall-of-the-empire-how-inner-turmoil-brought-down-a-legendary-studio.aspx this]] ''Magazine/GameInformer'' article revealing that Galen Marek of ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' did not get a "Darth" title because the ones Creator/GeorgeLucas offered to the development team were ''"Darth Icky" and "Darth Insanius"''.
9	** His [[http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone anti-iPhone page]], which features a "[[BlatantLies non-biased]], side-by-side comparison" of key features of the original iPhone and the Nokia E70. Several of the features the E70 had and the iPhone didn't would become standard in later generations of the iPhone, including custom ringtones, sound and video recording, MMS, voice dialing (through Siri), and instant messaging.
10	** [[http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=epic This 2010 article]] rants about the overuse of the word "epic" and shows several examples of things having the word in their title. Come 2013, and there exists a movie called, well, ''[[WesternAnimation/Epic2013 Epic]]''.
11	** [[http://maddox.xmission.com/movies.html One secret page listing his favorite movies]] includes ''Film/HappyGilmore'', which features Maddox ''unironically'' calling Creator/AdamSandler "the sovereign of ass kicking & all around ruler." Given the rest of his career, this was not to last.
12	** His video on E3 2015 has him complain about the trailer for ''VideoGame/MadMax2015'', drawing comparison to the trailer for ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' and specifically naming the latter using fire tornadoes, while noting their absence in the former. [[spoiler:Come the game's launch, and it turns out said tornadoes ''do'' appear in the game.]]
13	* MisaimedFandom: A good portion of his fanbase are the same exact people Maddox rags on.
14	* NightmareFuel: Though his portrayal of violent imagery is pretty much always PlayedForLaughs, the description of a girl ''peeling off and eating her face while bleeding to death'' in [[http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=onions this article]] comes off as way more disturbing than funny.
15	* OvershadowedByControversy: The Best Page in the Universe was a pioneering website in its day, but after a long while of infrequent updates, Maddox's online behavior during his attempt to return to the spotlight, especially his vendetta with [[Podcast/TheDickShow Dick Masterson]], ended up tarnishing his reputation. Maddox's fights with Dick almost always ended with him looking bad and his disaster of a lawsuit was the final nail in the coffin.
