[[folder:Main Channel Tropes]]
!!This show provides examples of:
* AlienAbduction: Done so at the end of "The G-Files: Weird Arcade Games #2", and ends up being dropped at Jirard "Dragonrider" Khalil's house to guest star on an episode of ''WebVideo/TheCompletionist''.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Used in the previously mentioned episode, where a voice from a flying saucer hovering above the sidewalk implores to PBG that he must make a "lackluster, semi-entertaining video" about a series of Japanese arcade games, in order to save humanity from the [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Caribou people of the Bush Baby solar system.]]
* AmusementParkOfDoom: Given what he was playing, in his ''VideoGame/RollercoasterTycoon 2'' video, he eventually makes one of these named "Don't Come Here. You'll Die." and puts Peep versions of Normal Boots members through it [[DeadlyGame to see who survives the rides.]] These being the Merry-Go-Death, Whoops!, Oops!, My Bad! and Wuh-Oh!.
* AxCrazy: In a brief mention of ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryFrontier'', upon finding [[CloudCuckoolander Mist]] in his home for no apparent reason, he has Raguna sneak up behind her with his axe ready to chop her into bits (Of course you can't in game)
* AuthorAppeal:
** Makes no secret of his love for ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', having made a ton of videos on ''The Legend of Zelda'' and even designating the month of November as "Zelda Month" on his channel.
** He also loves the series ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', having made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG74tXV-GHE several]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XagIqI1ik0 videos]] about games and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFR9SMiN9CE two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJS0gtQtryU movies]] adapted from the cartoon.
* ArcWords: "Memories" and "Treasures". And "Adventure! YEAH!!".
* AnimeHair: In the ''Dark Seed II'' review.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Installed a [[GameMod mod]] for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' that allowed him to kill children.
* BigNo: A few times, most notably in the ''VideoGame/MySimsKingdom'' review.
* BigWhat: Happens every now and then, such as in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbqDXuQEqtg&t=04m36s Putt Putt Does Some Things Again]]."
* BloodlessCarnage: Downplayed when he shot himself in ''Top 10 Scariest Video Games''. Although he covers the wound with his hand, there is no blood dripping out.
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In the ''To Kill An Avatar: The Many Deaths of Link'' episode:
-->''Crushed! Oh, okay, more like [[GoodBadBugs glitched.]] GLITCH CRUSHED!''
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: When approached with a question about his girlfriend on his official Tumblr page, he answers with an interesting choice of detail...
-->"PRETTY AND AWESOME. Likes Harvest Moon, Pokémon, Katamari Damacy and bacon."
* BrickJoke: Top Ten Funniest Glitches in Video Games. #2 is the infamous Swingset Glitch [[note]]a glitch where, by driving a car into certain swingsets, the player can be catapulted into the air for great distances. PBG himself timed an instance and found that he got a full 38 seconds from launch to impact[[/note]] from ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV GTA IV]]''. Then #1 is the Jackdaw Glitch from ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag ACIV]]''. The segment for the latter concludes with a car, accompanied by Niko Bellic, flying out of the air and landing on the Jackdaw.
-->'''Niko:''' So sue me for dangerous driving.\\
'''text overlay:''' MISSION PASSED
** This happens again in ''Arthur Games #3''. PBG is playing ''D.W. the Picky Eater'' and is in a story creator mode where he, mimicking the previous "story" ("My favorite food is burgers and fries."), says "I cannot wait till Arthur dies". Later at the end of the video, after he says that the it may be the last ''Arthur Games'' installment, says goodbye to Arthur, who not long after gets hit by a car and (presumably) dies.
* ButtMonkey: His dog Luka, especially when compared to his ''other'' dog Azura. PBG describes him as "not as cute" as Azura, and his ''A Wonderful Life'' video has a scene where he alternates between piling affection on Azura and insulting Luka. Luka doesn't really care, as he's, y'know, a dog.
--> '''PBG:''' Luka ruins everything! That's his special talent.
* CelebrityResemblance: Many have stated that he looks like [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy]]. He sometimes in preview images of letsplays with other people show a picture of Shaggy in his place.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* CordonBleughChef: The end of ''SELL-OUT Video Games!'' has him making a bowl of Reese's Puffs cereals, Mountain Dew, Gatorade drinks, chips, Sneaker bars and mayonnaise, when he finally takes a spoonful, he stops short of puting it in his mouth, [[DidntThinkThisThrough admitting he didn't think past this point]], and when he tastes it from the tip of his tongue, he has a revulsed reaction.
* CrossOver: The Hardcore series brings in former Normal Boots members, game reviewers, Let's Players, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg PBG's brother McJones, and some guy named Dean]]. He's also done some more conventional crossovers with WebVideo/TheCompletionist, WebVideo/ProJared, WebVideo/PushingUpRoses and others.
* TheCutie: Jeff tends to be. This quote says it all:
-->''"We made a birthday cake out of our house!"''
* DesignatedHero:[[invoked]]
** PBG describes the protagonist of ''My Sims Agents'' as "possible one of the most despicable human beings I've ever laid eyes on". This is the result of the numerous crimes they commit, including [[DestructiveHero causing plenty of property damage]], repeatedly hacking people's computers, breaking into their safes and [[KleptomaniacHero stealing whatever they can get their hands on]], including [[JustAMachine robbing a robot of parts it needs to function]] completely [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman against its will]]. It reaches the point where he considers EESDESESESR the game's VillainProtagonist.
** He considers Arthur to be this in ''WesternAnimation/ArthursMissingPal'', due to the titular character being basically neglectful towards his pet dog Pal in this movie, as he forgot to feed him breakfast [[SkewedPriorities to instead go play water balloon fight with his friends]], [[PottyEmergency didn’t take him outside to pee]], and got mad at him for revealing his hiding spot. Peebs even goes as far as to declare Arthur is the movie’s '''villain''', who rightfully deserves to be sad [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone when he realizes he treated his dog poorly]], and doesn’t deserve to find him back!
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The PBG in his earliest videos is much less enthusiastic than the PBG we see today.
* EpicFail: In ''I Spent $1,000 on Rare Mario Toys on Ebay'', he somehow never realized he was wearing his fake Mario nose and mustache [[HadTheSillyThingInReverse upside down]] while shooting the video, not even when he couldn't see because the mustache was obscuring his eyes! At least he realized his mistake and lampshaded it in post-production.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: On his Super Mario 64 hacking video, PBG shows off a game breaking hack called "Mario is 5 balls with flashing trousers and he has no head". And you guessed it, he's 5 balls with flashing trousers and no head.
* FreezeFrameBonus: In his ''VideoGame/MySims'' review, when his town gains a star, you can see it's named "Plzsaveme."
* FreudWasRight: "She shakes your bag around and it gives your wand special... powers... uhhhhhh-"
* FlatJoy: From his "VideoGame/PuttPutt Joins the Parade" video.
** Really his Modus Operandi when it comes to games he doesn't like and baffling game mechanics.
* FullyAutomaticClipShow: At the end of his "Hey You, Pikachu" episode, as he was unable to come up with an ending to the episode, PBG played every single time he said "Pikachu" back to back.
* GoshDangItToHeck: He rarely curses, preferring not to. He even discusses this during his ''Dark Seed'' Let's Play. He swore more frequently in his earliest videos, but this didn't last long and they were never particularly harsh ones.
** His reluctance to use curse words is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in his ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames Link: The Faces of Evil]]'' review, overlapping with OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
-->'''PBG''': It's so freaking frustrating that I might even say a swear!
* GeekPhysiques: The skinny, he's a PickyEater as well.
* HeroesLoveDogs: Has two dogs, Azura and Luka (and Namira before having to put her down), who occasionally pop up in his videos.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his cavalier and somewhat loony persona (which the Hardcore series suggests comes pretty naturally), PBG has shown a fondness for fairly serious VisualNovels, using VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo music in one video and doing a showcase of VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend.
* HypocriticalHumor: In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZOEzsH40y0 second video about Mario toys from E-Bay]], he writes down not to write anything onto his Mario Madness Notepad... on his Mario Madness Notepad.
* IAmNotShazam: [[invoked]] When making reference to [[Manga/YuGiOh Yugi Muto]] (specifically his hairstyle), he refers to him as "a Yu-Gi-Oh!".
* LargeHam: He tends to get really loud and boisterous at times, especially in his newer videos.
* LetsPlay: Has a secondary [=YouTube=] channel, [=PBGGameplay=], detailed below.
* LoggingOnToTheFourthWall: [[https://www.youtube.com/MayorButterGamer MayorButterGamer]] from the VideoGame/AnimalCrossing New Leaf review is an actual channel. However, it has no channel activity other than subscribing to a few channels, and favoriting PBG's video of ''New Leaf''.
* MadeOfExplodium: In ''VideoGame/PuttPutt Does Some Things'', he has a spigot cover that explodes when you "click" it.
* {{Malaproper}}: PBG does this a lot.
-->''I don't even like for that to happen!''
* {{Manchild}} : He collects and reviews shows, games and toys aimed at younger children, and very often acts and reacts like a child for comedic purposes.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: He has a RunningGag of adding the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] trailer theme to decidedly non-epic moments, such as catching bunnies or [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon watering plants]]. Also, toaster ovens.
** Explains that Harvest Moon can be this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[VideoGame/TomodachiLife "My pants have come undone in front of everyone."]]
* OrphanedSeries: It seems as though his ''To Kill An Avatar'' and to a lesser extent ''The G-files'' series are becoming this.
** As of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuHMXfACY4s DON'T TEXT & DRIVE - PBG Q&A (Semi truck edition)]], the latter has been confirmed.
** Also he made a video titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cxwo2eRs-I 50 FUNNY Ways to DIE in Zelda Breath of the Wild]] that shows [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fifty interesting deaths]] while playing the game. At the end of the video he mentions that it's similar to his ''To Kill an Avatar'' series, but he just decided to name it differently.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: From VideoGame/PuttPutt Does Some More Things AGAIN:
--> ''Alright, just gonna put some stupid [[SoundEffectBleep (FFOOOOOP)]] on here. Aaaand done!''
* PartiallyConcealedLabelGag: In his "Goodwill Games #9" video, PBG plays the PC adaptation of ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanA5thGrader''. While playing the game, he refers to the character of Edward as "Ard" due to the first half of Edward's name tag being obscured by Logan's head.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: His raps in his VideoGame/MySimsAgents review and his [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]] hacking video.
* MoodWhiplash: In his video talking about [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresofSonicTheHedgehog Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog]] he closes off the video with an intensely creepy homage to Sonic.exe.
%%* RapidFireComedy
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: His ferrets, [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/bf4e66d80ef2345f09924c29829c63b8/tumblr_mfd3ugWVQk1qzfnhho3_1280.jpg Pixel]] and 8-Bit.
* RunningGag:
** Small one, but he keeps bringing up a "''Top 10 Sexiest Girls in Gaming''", which he has yet to make. This often comes up in segments where he's working on his videos while waiting for something.
** Likewise his hatred for VideoGame/MySims, which has been mentioned in several videos. That said, it seems to have more or less petered out since he actually went and reviewed it.
** His jealousy of Andy (the kid who stars in the most widely circulated upload of the personalized ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' video "Arthur's New Friend!").
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: "But this is my list and I can cheat if I want to."
* ShipTease: With WebVideo/PushingUpRoses.
** ShipSinking: Him and Jeff address this during their ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' playthrough, with Austin stating they're just friends.
* ShoutOut: He interprets Literature/{{Arthur}}'s use of [[BuffySpeak "the thing"]] in ''Arthur's Computer Adventure'' as being the creature in Creator/JohnCarpenter's ''Film/TheThing1982'' saying he shouldn't be looking for it.
* ShowerOfAngst: At the end of his Pikmin To Kill an Avatar video.
* SitcomArchNemesis: The VideoGame/MySims series.
* StunnedSilence: In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]] Hacking'', he's rendered temporarily speechless by the sight of Link with long, crab-like legs, complete with RecordNeedleScratch.
* StupidlyLongFillerSound: PBG had a small one when deciding what colour to make VideoGame/PuttPutt in one of his videos.
-->'''PBG:''' Wait... Which colour do I get? WHICH COLOUR DO I GET??? Red, Blue, Green... I DUNNO! Uhhhhhhhhh...PURPLE!\\
[The already-purple putt-putt gets painted purple again]\\
'''PBG:"' Yeahhhh... I'm purple again!
* StylisticSuck: An early series involved PBG joining forces with [=KyrakJellyman=] to host the PB&J reviews, which featured Peebs and Kyrak as two idiot gamers who had no idea what they were talking about, and would give negative reviews to good games, and positive reviews to bad games. Some viewers didn't get the joke, and the series was mostly deleted, with only their fake review of ''Hubert the Teddy Bear Winter Games'' remaining on the channel.
* TakeThat: In his TopTenList of VideoGame jerks, he says jerks in video games are less realistic than people in real life, stating that people are much kinder in real life, all while the screen is filled with screenshots of various people's Platform/YouTube comments with similarly varying insults aimed at him. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And Goats]].
** [[RunningGag On which]] VideoGame/PacMan [[RuleOfThree is on the list.]]
** He also takes a very direct shot at [=JonTron=] for putting Bumper Balls at the top of his "Best VideoGame/MarioParty minigames" list.
** [[SelfDeprecation Often takes shots at himself as well, often with extremely derpy photos for visual aid]].
** TakeThatAudience: In his ''Top 10 Scariest Enemies in Video Games'' video he also makes a comment anyone with good taste played VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime when they were a kid.
-->'''PBG:''' [[LampshadeHanging The special word of the day is bias!]]
** In ''Super Mario 3D Land Hacking'' he stretches Mario's character model, and notes that [=YouTube=] is now going to brand his channel as non-advertiser friendly due to vaguely phallic shape of Mario. [[note]]In case you don't know, [=YouTube=] has been removing income from channels they feel advertisers won't like; while this was made to prevent companies from being associated with, for example, terrorist requirement videos, many channels (such as ''WebVideo/{{Caddicarus}}) are caught on the crossfire, no matter how harmless or PC their content might be.[[/note]]
* TheCameo: Provides one for [=JonTron=] at the end of one episode, where PBG wonders how on Earth [=JonTron=] managed to run all the way to Texas.
* TookALevelInKindness: PBG's videos started off with him being incredibly unenthusiastic and occasionally an outright {{Jerkass}}. He's gotten a fair bit better since then.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Explored in the ''To Kill An Avatar'' series, where he finds various ways to kill player characters and [=NPCs=].
--> ''Let's see how many ways we can make [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] die. You know... ForScience.''
** PBG also explores this in ''VideoGame/MySims Agents'', which leads to him calling EESDESESESR a monster when PBG makes him smash trucks, steal parts from random machines, and essentially organ harvest a friendly robot ''without his consent''.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Poor, poor EESDESESESRDT, born of a poorly-coded naming screen in Hubert The Teddy Bear and made into a RunningGag.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Apparently, PBG has a deadly fear of sharks.
* {{Yandere}}: PBG reveals this side of him for his beloved childhood videogame-girlfriend, the catgirl Mitzi. Her moving away causes PBG to kill Tom the cat and end up on the run.

[[folder:[=PBGGameplay=] Tropes]]
!!His Let's Play channel provides examples of:

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Crops up ''near constantly'' in his 'Sucking At' series. A notable example would be in Luigi's Mansion episode 15 when he lit the bonfire necessary to capture Sir Weston while flailing around randomly with his fire jet. And then didn't realize what he had actually done for some time.
-->'''PBG:''' Oh, I just needed to walk into him. Okay, well, that was easier than I was making it out to be.
* {{Angrish}}: Near-constant in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64: [[GameMod Chaos Edition]]''. Given that [[FakeDifficulty the game randomly changes Mario's physics]], [[GameBreakingBug is prone to locking-up and crashing]], [[PlatformHell will cause Mario's health to continuously drain]], [[DiabolusExMachina and even kills him instantly when he touches doors or poles at one point]][[labelnote:*]]As seen in Part 19[[/labelnote]], among other mishaps, PBG's frustration is completely understandable.
* AntiClimax: In his [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter second Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate video]] with [[WebVideo/ProJared ProJared]], PBG pulls out his Dual Swords, activates the Demon mode, and runs in to attack...[[EpicFail and then immediately turns off Demon mode again.]] Punctuated by the music cutting out and just leaving PBG's BattleCry of "Hgsheswah!"
* ArtEvolution: Compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og2WmOLfkqI the first video in his Majora's Mask Lets Play]] to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaMXb2w9CXA last video of his Majora's Mask Lets Play.]] Initially, he was rather subdued and more focused on the game than anything else and the whole thing goes unedited. By the last video, he is much more boisterous, incorporates a ton of visual humor and focuses more on the jokes.
* ArtisticLicenseSpace: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag4_-7eX2gc one episode of]] ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', when PBG and Jeff are fighting off Hilda Berg's constellations, they refer to Taurus as a bull, but keep calling Sagittarius "Cupid", even though the man wielding the bow and arrows clearly represents the centaur archer. To be fair, they are kind of unable to interpret the constellations or the WesternZodiac right.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: While this rarely shows up in his main channel because of it's scripted nature, PBG's tendency to get easily distracted shows up more on these videos. On one livestream he mentions that both fans and friends speculate he could have ADHD, but he doesn't really care and thus has never bothered to get a doctor's opinion on it.
* BlatantLies: In Mario Galaxy 2, part 9:
-->'''PBG:''' Man, I love the Internet, it's such a great place. Everybody's nice and friendly to each other.
* ControllableHelplessness: [[spoiler:Happens to Efanzo the Electabuzz during Episode 24 of the Pokémon Leafgreen Randomizer Nuzlocke, as Efanzo (who only has Electric-type attacks, aside from the non-damaging Flash) gets trapped in a battle with a wild Dugtrio [[YouWillNotEvadeMe with the Arena Trap ability (which prevents switching or fleeing)]] who is [[NoSell immune]] [[ElementalRockPaperScissors to every attack]] that Efanzo has. Despite attempting a Hail Mary by trying to catch the Dugtrio, PBG and Jeff ultimately have no choice but to watch Efanzo die.]]
* DestinedBystander: [[spoiler:Zigzam, Nimnat and Useless]] in the Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke. [[spoiler:Nimnat, in particular, is a good example of this. He's caught very early on, and is a bit of a laughing stock at first because of how seemingly useless he is, with PBG not even really making an effort to level him up. However, he ends up being the crucial part of the Double Team/Baton Pass strategy that wins PBG the game.]]
* DrugsAreGood: Makes heavy use of multiple drugs in his ''{{Videogame/Fallout 3}}'' Bobblehead collection series.
-->(PBG is under heavy super mutant fire from several angles at once)\\
'''PBG:''' More drugs! MORE DRUGS!!!
* EpicFail: In his final video of ''Super Mario 64'', he says there is ''no'' way he can miss hitting Bowser with one of the spikey balls being practically next to him. He turns around a few times, let's go of Bowser - and misses.
* FailedASpotCheck: When PBG and Jeff decide to teach one of their Pokémon the move Focus Punch in their Leaf Green Randomizer Nuzlocke, they start fantasizing about how they'll be to get around the downside that being hit on the turn that they use Focus Punch will cause the user to flinch, causing them to miss their turn, by the fact that the Pokémon that they're teaching the move to is incredibly fast, which means that they should rarely have to worry about the downside. However, they completely miss the fact that [[ActionInitiative Focus Punch always causes the user to move last]], despite it being spelled out in the move's description. For bonus points, Jeff notices the second part of the move description (that getting hit will cause the user to flinch), but not the first part (that the user will go last).
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: PBG and [[WebVideo/SpaceHamster Jeff]] lament how, because they [[IdiotBall forgot to actually record the game footage]] of their first episode of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', they had to redo it. And they say that the first take was amazing, with both doing well on the platform levels and earning about 16 lives before finishing the first video.
* HeelRealization: PBG has one of these at the end of the ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' Collection Series. [[spoiler: After realizing how many evil things he's done to get the Daedric Artifacts, he accepts his death at the hands of an Anvil {{city guard|s}}.]]
* StupidSacrifice: [[spoiler: Lafawnda gets put down by a critical hit by the final Pokémon in the Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke run. Ironically, had PBG not used Recover to try to save her life the turn before and attacked instead, Lafawnda would have have been able to land the game-winning blow, as Mega Metagross was stuck in cooldown from a Giga Impact attack, leaving it vulnerable. It'd be justified by PBG's inexperience... had he not noticed the cooldown from the Metagross's previous Giga Impacts. Instead, Lafawnda dies and PBG ends up winning the battle by the skin of his teeth, with two surviving Pokémon with less than 20 HP between them.]]
* [[invoked]]StrawmanHasAPoint: In "POKEMON GO IS DEMONIC", PBG mocks Rick Wiles' review of [[VideoGame/PokemonGo the titular app]] (which claims it's demonic), until the latter makes the claim that "we're hypnotized... we would rather live in the virtual world than the real world." PBG states that this is the only valid argument in the whole video, but his tone of voice implies that it isn't as problematic as Wiles makes it out to be.
* {{Yandere}}: Not PBG himself, but this seems to be the comment section's opinion on Nimnat the Nincada. Every single time she'd be switched out or PBG would say he was going to switch her out, someone on the team would inevitably die not long after, forcing him to put her back in or have an empty slot.
* YouTuberApologyParody: He makes a "Sincere Apology" for an error he made while playing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''.

[[folder:"Hardcore!"]]
These tropes have now been moved to their own page at LetsPlay/PBGHardcore.
[[/folder]]
----
[[folder:Peebs Channel Tropes]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Invoked. When he plays ''VideoGame/SuperMario64ChaosEdition'', due to [[MindScrew the nature of the romhack]], Peach's voice is often heard in-game, sometimes followed by an event that completely screws the player up. Peebs jokingly theorizes that she is the one responsible for all the chaos happening.
* CameraAbuse: Slaps his webcam in ''These weird Kirby commercials are unacceptable''.
* TheDreaded: Vegemite is this for ''Weird Australian food, snacks, and candy!''. Peebs receives a box full of Australian snacks to try out, and hopes it does not contain Vegemite because he fears its infamous taste. When he does pull it out of the box, he lets out a BigNo, and is the only product he is not excited about.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As mentioned in the Main Channel folder above, [[GoshDangItToHeck Peebs is very reluctant to swear.]] So it speaks volumes about how much ''VideoGame/SuperMario64ChaosEdition'' frustrates him when he finally loses his patience in part 10 and [[AtomicFBomb drops an uncensored F-bomb]] over the hack screwing him over one too many times. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by his editor, Toasty, who adds clips of several characters [[{{Gasp}} gasping in shock.]]
