[[folder: General ]]

* His RunningGag of "it ''[a game or console]'' just has 'ass' written all over it", accompanied with an ass over the "bad" game or console and a fart sound. The first time, there's a picture of an ass hand-drawn on the Nintendo DS, the second time, the word itself is being displayed on the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'' title screen (misspelled "as") and lastly, a picture of [[spoiler: the Pissed Off Angry Gamer falling on his ass]] during the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' character select screen.
* The first eleven episodes featured "Dog's Ending Theme" from ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' as its theme song and has a picture of ''[[VideoGame/HotelMario Hotel Mario's]]'' version of Luigi's head sloppily plastered onto his body.[[note]]and while RuleOfFunny does apply here, Third Rate Gamer does by coincidence resemble Luigi[[/note]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Final Fantasy III'' ]]

* He assumes that Final Fantasy III was released after II(IV), so he's confused as to why it's on the NES and has much worse graphics.
* He gets up and goes to the bathroom while the opening cutscene of VI is running.
* He complains that [[WarmUpBoss the first bosses]] of Final Fantasy III and VI are both "slow, non-threatening animals"- a turtle in the former and a snail in the latter. That doesn't stop him from losing to both of them, though.
* The reason why he loses to the Whelk. Instead of realizing that the head is the boss's weak spot, he [[TooDumbToLive repeatedly attacks the shell in hopes of breaking it]], resulting in his party getting fried by Giga Volts when the boss retaliates.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Nintendo DS ]]

* While introducing the various handhelds in the UsefulNotes/GameBoy line, midway through he starts eating a chocolate muffin, causing all of his speech as he introduces the rest of the handhelds to become muffled.
* He mixes up the screens by placing the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS DS]] upside-down, and gets angry when the ''top'' screen isn't responsive to the stylus.
* He attempts to put a UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game in its proper slot, set to [[MundaneMadeAwesome epic music]]... only the game in question is really ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog28Bit Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' for the UsefulNotes/GameGear.
* The part where he states "WRONG!" and spends several seconds making stupid faces.
* In a parody of a scene from the Irate Gamer's ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' review:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' These games suck so much, it makes me wish that a Thwomp from ''Super Mario Bros.'' would fall out of the sky in this room and crush me! Of course, you've probably already noticed that I'm further back away from the camera and there's a lot of empty space above me so the joke is pretty much dead, but I'm gonna do it anyway. ''(gets crushed by a Thwomp, with a fart sound)''

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Castlevania 1, 2 and 3'' ]]

* The fact that he keeps calling the games Castle''mania'' and that [[spoiler:he only shows a short clip of him intentionally dying in the third game so that he can say that he reviewed it]].
* When complaining that [[BlatantLies the game doesn't let you know that you'll be in a castle until you play it]] (as he thought he would be fighting [[Franchise/{{Alien}} aliens]]), he says [[{{Metaphorgotten}} "What a bunch of ass-coleslaw with a side of jumbo shrimp, French fries, bread and guacamole with a free large drink and chocolate ice cream sundae for dessert!"]]
* His dying montage has him saying the word "Shit!" many different, goofy ways and some of the game clips being ''repeated''.
* TRG throughout the review uses audio from the WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd's review of the game. At one point, he even overlays audio of them both asking "What's the point?" and cries out "WebVideo/YouKnowWhatsBullshit'' as a pop-up then flashes exclaiming "What I'm saying is so completely different than what the AVGN says. Honest!" He says “What a horrible night for cursing" [[note]]although the actual in-game text says [[JustForFun/IReadThatAs "What a horrible night to have a curse"]][[/note]], which is then followed with a FreezeFrameBonus pop-up saying "But I love cursing! It gives the illusion of humor!"

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''The Legend of Zelda'' ]]

* He complains about ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames Mario vs. Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', with the camera [[LampshadeHanging quickly zooming in on the "&" symbol.]]
* "What a cussword load of another cussword."
* He complains about Link not being able to jump, saying that "there was a jump button in [[VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink the sequel]] that was released before [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI this game]], so why can't I jump in the original?"

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Street Fighter II'' ]]

* The title card (which is [[RougeAnglesOfSatin spelled as "Street Fiter 2"]]), which has the drawing of M. Bison's infamous [[MemeticMutation "Yes! Yes!"]] [[WesternAnimation/StreetFighter scene]] has TRG's head on M. Bison and [[spoiler:Mr. T's]] head on Balrog.
* He complains about Dhalsim looking like "[[UsefulNotes/MahatmaGandhi Gandhi]] after a hunger strike" and then asking "Will somebody please feed this guy a cheeseburger?"
* He later complains about M. Bison's level's color scheme and asks if Music/RayCharles designed it... only to include a [[RecognitionFailure picture]] of a [[EpicFail sunglasses-wearing]] ''Creator/BillCosby'' instead.
* After getting defeated by the M. Bison sprite, TRG's losing card has a picture of him looking beaten up with poorly CGI'ed trickles of blood added to his nose and mouth.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Yoshi's Island'' ]]

* After complaining about the use of 3D graphics and the lack of a character select screen for not being in the previous ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' games, he eventually [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks whines about the changes from the standard formula]] in the most hilariously {{Wangst}}y fashion:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' It's ''different'' than every other Mario game! How do they expect me to play something like this? Why couldn't it just be exactly the same as every other game in the series?
* He criticizes the lack of power-ups, saying that there should be some so that he can play with "optimum performance". When he ''does'' talk about one of the power-ups in the game later in the review, he then says that he'll just delete any comment that points out his error in order to make himself "look good."

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Paperboy'' ]]

* His contention that his "sleeveless yellow bike" should be red, and he colors it as so.
* "What a shitload with a side of fuck!"
* Midway through the review, a completely random plug is inserted to tell viewers to "buy [his] t-shirts" with no rhyme or reason to the placement.
* The end of the review has him getting struck in the face with a CGI newspaper, as a ShoutOut to this happening to [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd The Nerd]] in his Platform/Atari5200 review.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Ninja Gaiden'' ]]

* Him complaining about people not buying his [=DVDs=]:
-->''(closeup to a DVD with "Third Rate Gamer Vol. 1" very crudely drawn on in Microsoft Paint)''
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Come on! Why watch it for free on [=YouTube=] when you can spend money on it?
* He compares the game's flashing colors in a death sequence to the episode "Electric Soldier Porygon" from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', where he claims that the episode ''killed'' hundreds of people.
* He falls into a pit and loses a turn. [[WebVideo/YouKnowWhatsBullshit "That's bullshit!"]] [[note]]As heard in the Bullshit Man's voice.[[/note]]
* TRG complains about how the third game added voice actors, then he compares it to if ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' had it, which includes the ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden 3'' yelling sound effects when Mario is shooting the fireballs and then a loud [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "D'oh!"]] when he fell into a pit.
* The ending where he gets a call inviting him to appear on a radio show, the sound of the bitcrushed noise of "Ghostbusters!" from [[VideoGame/Ghostbusters1984 said game]] is heard and [[spoiler:the Ryu sprite coming across the screen and [[SpecialEffectFailure shoddily decapitating him]] as colorful lights flash and a "Game Over" screen is seen]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Little Nemo''... sorry, ''FINDING Nemo'' ]]

* He begins the review with a video that a [[SockPuppet "fan"]] made for him:
-->''"The Third Rate Gamer is not a rip-off of The Angry Video Game Nerd. In AVGN's reviews, he said "What a shitload of fuck.", but in the Third Rate Gamer's reviews, he said "What a shitload of ''fuck.''" So as you can see, it's not a rip-off because it's not word-for... ah, crap. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw this; I'm gonna go lift some weights."]]''
* His mocking of the Irate Gamer's RecognitionFailure in the latter's review of the ''VisualNovel/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' game:
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' This movie contains all my favorite characters from the movie, such as Nemo, Flip, and Reducto! ''(the latter is accompanied by a picture of '''Freezoid''' instead of Reducto)''
* The police knock on his door, and he escapes by riding on his bike. How does he show this? By showing obvious clip art of a kid on a bike (with his face plastered over it) ''that still has a white background'' moving in an obviously-fake manner over another picture of a house.
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Oh crap, I better get out of here! This calls for some special effects! ''(riding on the bike)'' [[SpecialEffectFailure It really looks like I'm riding my bike down the street!]]
* He uses both the quiz AND the pause sound from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' that WebVideo/TheIrateGamer did in the second part of his ''VideoGame/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' review, although TRG [[LampshadeHanging acknowledges the fact that he uses these jokes.]]
** Additionally, the quizzes themselves. First, he asks what the viewer thinks your weapon is, and gives the following choices...
--> A. A gun
--> B. A [[RougeAnglesOfSatin wip]]
--> C. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Fucking candy]]
** Then later in the video, he asks what the viewer thinks the point of the game is, and gives these choices.
--> A. Defeat Dracula
--> 2. Collect P-bloks
--> III. Collect keys
* Him deciding that the game's so shitty, he's going to defecate on it:
-->"Bombs away!" ''(Cut to an image of the game being "covered" in shit. However, if you look closely, you can see an outline of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny being shit on by [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd the Nerd]] in his review of "Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout" and [[SpecialEffectFailure it being poorly pasted in his own video]].)''
* The ending:
-->'''Nightmare King:''' I'm a video game character, and I'm going to fight you for no reason!
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Don't even try! I've got the Power Sock! ''(starts waving around a sock worn on his hand)''
-->'''Nightmare King:''' Do you really expect to defeat me with a fucking sock?
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Not just with a sock, but with special effects! ''(Punches him, which then "triggers" an explosion and then it cuts to footage of a mushroom cloud)''

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Home Improvement'' ]]

* At the beginning, he asks Tony, er, ''[[CaptainErsatz Billy]]'' to say "his" {{Catchphrase}} of "Bang-a-lang", after which he does, it is immediately followed by the sounds of a crowd of people loudly booing him and a pop-up of his user profile and information shows the actual number of subscribers to his channel [[EpicFail plummeting in droves.]] After Billy refuses to review the game with TRG, leaves off-screen in a car and we hear him then crashing said car, this is followed by sounds of the aforementioned crowd now begin loudly [[CrossingTheLineTwice cheering over it]].
* His face when he witnesses the dinosaur, of which he zooms in on and overlays a roaring sound for dramatic effect.
* The [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] sprite that is on the screen throughout the review for no reason. [[spoiler:And the ending where Wilson steals it. "Yoink!"]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Battletoads'' ]]

* His overuse of [[ViewersAreMorons green circles]] throughout the review.
* His abundance of mistakes:
** When complaining about the difficulty of the first NES ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1989 Ninja Turtles]]'' and ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'' games (namely the bombs in the infamous underwater level and the apparent lack of armor, respectively), it is accompanied by footage of ''someone else'' completing these "impossible" tasks.
** Calling Professor T. Bird "Professor Gyro". [[note]]In ''Gyromite'', the character's actual name is "Professor Hector."[[/note]]
** After finding a baton to use as a weapon, he gets angry over the fact that it's yellow. "I guess Pimple [[note]]who's not even a playable character, as he's been kidnapped[[/note]] got excited and pissed all over it. [[CatchPhrase Didn't they even test this game before they released it?"]] As he says that, the sound of a [[ToiletHumor toilet flushing can be heard]].
** He believing that "Hack Attack" was a real game.
** When complaining about the Battletoad unsuccessfully fighting off a boss, he claims that he has "worse aim than Shaquille O'Neal [[GretzkyHasTheBall when shooting touchdowns"]] while displaying a picture of ''Tiger Woods''. Later, when crashing into a wall in the skiing level, he asks, "Who does this game think I am, Sonny Bono?" while flashing a picture of ''Cheech Marin''.
* When The Dark Queen appears at one point, he refers to her as [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1989 "the stupid banana raincoat-wearing bitch."]]
* "And don't ask why I'm not losing any lives here."
* His pointless bitching over a level's title:
-->"Just hold the phone here! "[[Franchise/StarWars Wookie]] Hole"? Why would level be called the "Wookie Hole"? I guess they were trying to appeal to the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fans ''(while briefly flashing a picture of the robot from "Series/LostInSpace")'', but instead they're appealing to piss me off! ''(as the camera quickly zooms just past his "angry" expression)'' There isn’t a single Wookie in this level. They could have called it the "Asshole" for all I care!"
* His "dancing" to the pause theme.
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd I wish I had a guitar player.]]
* He decides to destroy the game, promising the audience an "awesome ending", but he sends the "fireball" in the wrong direction, having it explode in his face instead.
-->"Ta-da!"
* The "Bloopers" part with him trying to say "[[VideoGame/DoubleDragon Double Dragons]] Princible" and then him and Billy "dancing" to one of the overworld themes to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''... only to then barely escape getting crushed by a ''Tetris'' square ([[OverlyLongGag complete with a green circle]]).

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Rocket Knight Adventures'' ]]

* At the beginning:
-->'''Computerized voice-over:''' This review is rated "PG-17" for foul language, because video game reviews on the internet need to have ratings.
* Later on, when the Evil Rate Gamer is complaining about [[VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures the game's]] princess, he says she could be "the Princess of [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Shitland]] for all I care", which is accompanied by a stock picture of the Magic Kingdom, has the "Disney" in Disneyland replaced with the word "Shit" and a stock picture of excrement covering Mickey Mouse's face.
-->"Don't forget to flush, man!"
* "Cowabunga shit! Waffles!" (While displaying a stock photo of a plate of ''pancakes''.)
* His complaints about the fire level, which he calls "a real piss-guzzler" and then sums up his feelings about the difficulty:
-->[[NeverMyFault "Therefore, it's the game's fault that I suck at it!"]]
* [[spoiler: WebVideo/TheIrritatedGamer]] as the guest voice of Flashter.
* TRG calling Mario during a short clip of the first Super Mario Bros. a "bitch-ass plumber fuck".

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Kirby's Adventure'' ]]

* His amusing RunningGag of editing in explosions at opportune places.
* He tries playing the "Crane Fever" minigame. At one point, we're treated to a close-up of him making wonderfully goofy faces, while fervently [[ButtonMashing button-mashing]] the controller[[note]]...keeping in mind that the only thing you have to do in the minigame is to hold the A button for a few seconds, then to let go[[/note]].
* He is surprised at the use of guns in the minigame "Quick Draw". Then in a parody of a scene from the Irate Gamer's ''Monster Party'' review, his younger cousin comes in...
--> '''Timmy:''' Cool game! Can I play?
--> ''(screen closes up on Kirby and Waddle Doo accompanied by a ScareChord, and a horrified Timmy runs off crying)''
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' Aw, shit! Now my cousin Timmy's gonna have nightmares for a week!
--> ''(the audience laughs, then applauds)''
* Midway through the review is a commercial advertising the ''Third Rate Gamer'' card game. In this commercial is an actor who is not very enthusiastic about his opinion, and the bottom of the screen has a caption saying "[[BlatantLies NOT A PAID ACTOR]]". To order the card game, you must dial [[JennysNumber 867-530nah-eeh-ahine]].
* "We now return to ''The Third Rate Gamer Show'', only on [[Creator/NickJr Nick Jr.]]!"
* TRG complains that having an "invincibilility powerup" is a direct ripoff of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''. Cut to footage of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', with Mario dying to a Goomba. On '''[[EpicFail the very left edge of 1-1]]'''.
* Upon him going to the ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''-[[NostalgiaLevel based level]], he is convinced that the lack of color of the level is a glitch.
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' After making it to the last level, [[CaptainObvious you notice something wrong. Like, something is missing.]] I guess nobody was able to make it this far in the game to notice this glitch before releasing the game. They should've had ''me'' on the team; they could've used my mastery of video games to find this glitch.
* Upon finishing the game, TRG then suggests that Nintendo is just jealous of "superior" video game developers, like [[Creator/LJNToys LJN]] and Wisdom Tree.
* During his review of ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'', after TRG asks "Isn't this game fun?", a clip of [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Marty McFly]] saying "No!" is shown. [[UnreadablyFastText A text that says "Oops, forgot to remove this part for the DVD" flashes very briefly]], parodying how Irate Gamer hadn't edited out copyrighted film clips from his DVD releases.
* "I hope you enjoyed the review! I had to rewrite the script a dozen times because I wanted it to be crap instead of pure shit."
* The episode ends with TRG saying that the next review will be of ''VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures'', despite the fact that he had already reviewed the game in the previous episode.[[note]]According to a comment on the video by [=FFL2and3rocks=], this was done to parody how seldom Chris Bores updated the ''Irate Gamer'' website, with it still saying a review of ''VideoGame/AladdinCapcom'' would come soon despite the fact that it had already been out for three months at the time of the release of TRG's review of ''Kirby's Adventure''.[[/note]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''The Lion King'' ]]

* His repetitive and non-informative "review" of E3 2009, which TRG writes as "20009".
* When he seemingly gets stuck in the menu:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' What the fuck? I'm pushing buttons and nothing is happening. I haven't even started playing this game and it's already too hard. Didn't they test this game before they released it? After doing some research, I found out the controller needs to be plugged in.
* After the Third Rate Gamer chooses to start the game:
-->'''Timon:''' It starts...
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' What the fuck?
-->'''Timon:''' It starts...
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' What did he say?
-->''({{beat}})''
-->'''Timon:''' ''(obviously dubbed over by Microsoft Sam)'' Make me a sandwich... [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch.]]
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Well, get your own sandwich! I'm in the middle of a bad joke here! ''(turns to camera and shakes his head back and forth unconvincingly)''
* From the same review, we get [[CreatorBreakdown his hesitation to say the word "girlfriend."]] It’s perhaps the only time he sounds genuinely stressed.
* [[CurseCutShort "Well, motherf--!"]]
* In the "Simba's Destiny" level, Third Rate Gamer criticizes WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, saying all he talks about is [[ToiletHumor shitting on things]]. [[HypocriticalHumor Directly after that]]:
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Anyway, Mufasa[[note]]actually a grown-up Simba[[/note]] has three attacks. He can jump on enemies, claw at the enemies, and shit on the enemies. ''(Photoshopped feces land on in-game enemies)''
* When in the Cave Level and discussing [[TemptingFate how anything could come up and surprise you]], [[spoiler:an [[SpecialEffectFailure "appearance"]] by the Game Dude pops up suddenly:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Game Dude:''']] ''[[VideoGame/Barbie1991 Barbie]]'' is one of those shitty games, lost in a river of shitty games...
-->''(Third Rate Gamer screams out in shock and "shoots" a hole in his face)''
* After he [[TemptingFate wishes that the ending held more of a challenge:]]
-->'''Timon:''' ''(in Microsoft Sam dub)'' Your wish is granted, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]
-->''(Scar begins to attack him)''
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' ''(in an annoyed tone of voice)'' [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Stop it! That's my spleen, buddy!]]
** Which is then followed by the sound of a man laughing.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Cool Spot'' ]]

* Early on, we have the player character being circled, with no less than ''six'' arrows pointing at it, all while the Gamer talks about how the game reminds him of ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' because in both games, you control a character.
* The fact that the infamous "drowning theme" from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' is heard as the bonus level ends and the goofy looks on his face as it does.
* This SoUnfunnyItsFunny joke:
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' You think ''that's'' bad? Remember the time I tried to go to space and use a credit card?
-->''(cuts to a crudely animated clip featuring the Third Rate Gamer and an alien)''
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Do you take Discover?
-->'''Alien:''' ''(makes some incomprehensible noises)''
-->''({{Beat}}, followed by a single person coughing)''
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' See? I told you my humor is just like ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''! ''(holds up a Family Guy DVD)'' I'm also like ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit'' ''(while showing a picture of a DVD of the show)'', which is only available on Creator/{{HBO}}. ''(while showing a picture of the Creator/{{Showtime}} logo)''
* After mastering a certain, famously-mispronounced word:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' I finally learned how to say the word "frustrating"! Anyways, another thing that makes this game so [[AesopAmnesia fustrating]] is this power-up here.
* He explains that talented enough gamers will get to a higher level, while briefly flashing the Game Genie on the screen.
* He calling 7-up a cola drink, while we can see it clearly says "Uncola" on the bottle.
* The ending credits, where he "sings" the theme song and everyone is credited as "Khriss Boarss."

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Daze Before Christmas'' ]]

* Him making his overall opinion of the game [[BlatantLies clear and umambiguous]] at the beginning:
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' This game is awesome! But it's a piece of shit.
* He says unless you don't suck at the game like he does, you're going to die a lot. This leads to a "montage" of the same exact clip of him dying played over and over, with him exclaiming "Shit!" each time.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Super Mario Bros./Super Mario Bros. 2'' ]]

* At the start, he tries reading some comments, only to find out that they're negative. He says, "Mommy! People on the Internet don't like my videos!" Immediately afterwards, it's shown that his mother has posted mean, poorly spelled responses to the criticism.
* The ridiculous faces he makes while trying to decide which game to play.
* "''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is a video game [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment created by Nintendo for the Nintendo NES System System made by Nintendo]]." [[note]]For added hilarity, as he says this, he enters the door in the first level and just sits there. By the time he finishes, he's already dead.[[/note]]
* Upon noticing the vaguely phallic shape of the hills at the beginning of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', he calls it "nudity in a Nintendo game" and informs parents that "this game might not be appropriate for kids."
* Him noticing that something is off. It's the bomb, but he doesn't figure it out. At three times throughout the review, he gives us this line:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' ''(sniffs three times)'' What's that sound?
* His RunningGag of puffing his cheeks out in "anger."
* He goes over how the second game is a DolledUpInstallment of ''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic'', and mentions this:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' After many hours of research, [[BlatantLies I found some rare footage you won't find anywhere else]]. So don't steal it from me! ''(slaps a watermark on the bottom right, accompanied by a fart sound)''
* When he switches back to the original, he makes this joke again:
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' Jumping gigabytes! Did you know [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels they made a sequel that only came out in Japan]]? ''(watermark, accompanied by another fart)''
* We get a quick peek at a third timeline... James Rolfe's video of ''Mario's Time Machine''.
* Third Rate Gamer tells Offensive Stereotype to go away in the second timeline, while inviting him in in the first timeline. The latter then eventually appears in the second timeline to save him from the bomb, causing Billy to call out the Third Rate Gamer on it.
-->'''Billy:''' He left in this timeline! It's the ''other'' timeline where he stays so he can save your life before your house explodes!\\
'''Third Rate Gamer:''' This video's confusing! I should have been paying more attention...''([[OverlyLongGag puffs his cheeks out]])''
* Just the whole running gag of the bomb being lit. Not only is the set-up absurd (Why would the Third Rate Gamer have a bomb lying around his house to begin with? Why does he suddenly have fire powers? [[TooDumbToLive Why doesn't he realize that setting fire to something and then randomly throwing it is a terrible idea?!]] Why doesn't his house catch fire?), we see the same close-up shot of the bomb accompanied by the same scare chord[[note]]Which happens to be the sound of when a Fatality is about to be committed in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII''[[/note]] a total of '''nine times''' throughout the review, and it eventually ends with the bomb exploding in a rather [[TheUntwist predictable manner in spite of all the build-up for it]]. We then see a newspaper with a headline saying "Third Rate Gamer Killed by [[SpecialEffectFailure Lame Special Effect]]."
-->"This game sucks! It's a horrible disgrace to the source material, right James?" ''(Cue a freeze-framed cut-out of [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd AVGN]] from his ''VideoGame/Action52'' review looking horrified as the [[SimpletonVoice "Uhh-duhh!"]] noise from his ''Wally Bear and the No! Gang'' review is heard, followed by ChirpingCrickets.)''
* TRG says that he'd like to see a video game based on ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'', and shows [[VisualPun a baseball player in a loaf of rye bread]].
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' Hey, catcher! Get out of that rye! ''({{Rimshot}})''
* Before the review portion, TRG sends the Irate Gamer a private message ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wefl3cHI2Ik&lc=1zQFugaYrNhfV73hoUkEiDiXl11XtuQyeB1UH3k9YSo a real one,]] if you read his linked comment), which is almost identical to one sent to James Rolfe by IG. Keep in mind that the entire TRG show is a TakeThat to IG at an earlier point. At the end of the video, it's revealed that ''IG apparently didn't figure this out, and responded to TRG's PM with "awesome."'' In the remaining few seconds of the video, we are then treated to the "Third Rate Gamer and Irate Gamer Dual Review!" with the Irate Gamer green-screened into footage of the Third Rate Gamer.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers'' ]]

* The title card depicting him as [[Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks Alvin]] and writing the title out as "Shit & Fail: [[VideoGame/{{Shantae}} Risky's Revenge]]".
* After saying that he was a huge fan of "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" [[note]]and he clarifies that by that, he meant that he "saw an episode or two like, twenty years ago"[[/note]] a minute earlier, he then expresses his annoyance about the game's title, specifically the "Rangers" in it, which he complains that the Franchise/PowerRangers aren't even in the game... while displaying a picture of the ''Series/VRTroopers'' [[RecognitionFailure instead.]]
--> '''Third Rate Gamer:''' "Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers"? The Power Rangers aren't even in this game! Didn't they test this name before they released it?
* And a moment later, he expresses confusion at the characters actually on the screen:
-->'''Third Rate Gamer:''' "Chip" and "Dale"? I don't remember ''them'' from the cartoon! Why couldn't they include more popular {{Creator/Konami}} characters? Like Mario (shows picture of [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Fortran]]), or Luigi (shows an actual picture of Luigi), or [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jaffar]]? (shows a picture of ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'').
* "Get the fuck off my parents' property!"
* His complaint that the game doesn't ''support Wi-Fi'' or the [[Platform/XBox360 Kinetic accessory]] (accompanied by a picture of the [[Platform/Playstation3 PlayStation]] Move controller). He reasons that the latter is probably because he doesn't "live in [[{{Pun}} Connecticut]]".
* Upon attempting to scale a ledge normally too tall to jump over, he tries stacking blocks up then standing on top of them to give him more height... then says, "Ah, I give up" after '''succeeding''' in doing so.
* After claiming that the game can't be a children's game because of a "masturbation hand", he uses Chris-Chan's infamous "JULAYYY" scream.
* Then there's him plastering the (full color) game footage very poorly... over a ''Game Boy'' screen. While mashing buttons.
* His confusing the final boss's cigar with a marijuana joint and then offhandedly saying that he had to convince his Mom to beat the game for him.
